THAT *IS* YOUR SONIC!!!! THAT'S YOUR SOULMATE!! TAILS, THAT'S YOUR BIG BROTHER!!!!!! HE'S COLLAPSED ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!

Fucks me up to think about how Legato's legacy in-universe after his death in Trimax (and presumably Tristamp) is probably gonna be how much he sucked and nothing else....

Like, nobody will like Knives but Vash will be long-lived enough to be able to eventually talk about his good qualities from when he was a child and his quasi-redemption in his last days. But who remembers Legato? Livio and Vash are the only living people with any extended memory of him and neither of them would have anything nice to say (and rightfully so). Neither of them probably knew he was a slave, either—as far as Vash can tell this dude showed up one day and hated his guts, for all he knows he's just another survivor from July! Outside of Knives, Elendira, Legato, and maybe Conrad, I don't think any other character knows his actual life story.

And to add on to that, there's no way of looking up that past either—he had no name or personhood before he was effectively rescued, so who could investigators or reporters or archivists track down for information? The human being that was Legato only existed for as long as he knew Knives, before that he was something to be kept and abused as an object. There's presumably no surviving family they can reliably contact, nobody to really say "yes I knew him, here's what his life was like, here's how we can prevent something like this from happening again".

His entire existence will be reduced down to "a human weapon that was freakishly loyal to public enemy #1" without any reflection on the mechanisms that made him the way he was because there's just no actual knowledge of his life.

sentai moments that play on repeat in my brain

(j.a.k.q - goggle v)

[dogs-with-lightsabers]

i’m drawing and also kinda bored so i present my current thoughts on kotone’s world in okwd!

there are 3 main differences between these world

1) kotone lived where minato would have - kotone and minato are twins! the night of the accident in her world, kotone wanted the other car seat and they switched (throw in some survivors guilt, it absolutely fucks with her). by extension, shinjiro lives and manages to get treatment. kotone is the only other person to leave the theater remembering it, and ends up trying to find young akira and adult yosuke to warn at least him (because she found out about the relation)

2) rei amamiya lived - as labeled, rei wasn’t murdered! the night she would’ve died in okwd canon, yosuke got really sick and she stayed with him instead of going out. her father still ends up dead, body scattered where no one ever found this time, and rei got to meet akira! consequently, the kurusu-amamiya family stayed in tokyo, akira grew up with their mom, maybe wakaba lived? and akira didn’t end as the leader of the phantom thieves

3) the presence of ren amamiya - ren is of no known relation to rei. they are a foster kid, dumped in as a baby and named by their first caregiver(ren is amab where akira is afab, but both are gender-fluid/nonbinary). ren did exist in okwd, but was never adopted and actually died in one of the mental shutdown incidents. in kotone’s world, ren was actually adopted by yukichie! (i’ve got some other p4 related stuff in kotone’s world, but the short vers. is that while yosuke still left, everything ended on better terms)

so in kotone’s world, the leader of the phantom thieves ends up being a more ‘canon accurate’ ren amamiya! akira’s there, they even have a persona (still arsene? that would mean ren gets someone different, probably a shinto deity like his moms) and they act as kind of a black mask fake out.

but the final part is this:

while this world doesn’t have the full force of azathoth (consumer of the multiverse) bearing down on it, a not corpse puppet maruki, better and more fighters, and so on, something just goes wrong. nyx breaks the seal prior to the deadline while kotone’s free, and the fall happens. with the 3-5 cast all gathered together in one place, world crumbling to ash, kotone does the one thing she can do.

and screams into shared mind space of her and the akira she knows

[waywardsalt]

comparing bellum’s two ‘deaths’ is fun, his actual death is quick he’s just trying to get away before it looks like he locks/freezes up and dies, but when he fakes his death he’s gotta flail around and do a little circle in the room and drag it out and go all limp before falling in his little pool and even makes it look like there was an explosion under the water after he falls in. dramatic ass

[multifandombullshitbabes]

(Context: im thinking abt my post canon au, i explained on my ao3, u dont even have to read it just know its there)

Mizu revealing her being a woman to taigen AFTER he confesses his feelings to mizu AFTER being bested during their duel once again is literally so fucking personal to me. Jesus fuck... FUCK. Like. How overwhelmingly loved she must feel. How SEEN. Truly for once n not just but loved and wanted!!! Its so personal to me. Just. Taigen, losing, n then immediately leaning in for a kiss. Mizu is lost cuz what?? Why?? N taigen just. Confesses, but hes holding back cuz mizus reaction was not great and he doesn't wanna ruin the friendship they've formed these past months, they've grown so close so fast n its scary but so exciting n so right but if mizu doesnt want this then nothing is happening n its ok he has a CHOICE. Like. FUCK!! N then mizu telling taigen to wait and that night she reveals it. And its just sooo fucking intimate. Its so soft. And maybe taigen is confused but one look at how small mizu is making herself, like shielding herself from him. Like he gets it. The danger of it all. And its his promise to protect her if she ever needs to that does her in cuz. SHE HAS A CHOICE. TO BE PROTECTED OR NOT. THATS SO IMPORTANT TO HER. Yes, she can protect herself. Yes, it feels good to be protected. Yknow??

Mizu revealing her being a woman to akemi totally by accident AFTER they just had an argument abt women's choices in society AFTER mizu accidentally took one (1) big sip of sake, n then deciding fuck it im gonna win this argument, guess what akemi. And that's how akemi finds out. N Mizu thinks akemi is going to hate her, n she does for a bit in silence, but mostly shes just hurt? For herself AND for Mizu. Cause she understands, so suddenly, so intimately, how hard being a woman is and how mizu has had to hide as a man to survive (not even for plot reasons that we know, mizu being mixed AND a woman? Death sentence). And she just hurts. And they thought they'd always have this weird rift between them but they cry and they let it out (for Mizu, for the first time in YEARS) and its just. Its so emotional n so important and so personal and intimate. Its maybe winter all over again, a year has passed since theyd seen each other in kyoto, so much has changed and yet not rly and. They've grown but in different ways. Akemi, in taking life by the reins n being assertive and strong and so dangerously intelligent like shes always been but now, now its crucial to be that. And Mizu in realizing that she truly, truly wants to be loved so badly but to be loved is to be vulnerable and thats what scares her the most, to be weak; but ure only strong if u can be weak too, and thats what she learns. And i think this is where they really get deep into their feelings. Before it was a crush, an annoying one. Now? Oh bby theyre down bad. Yes they are.

[dazachi]

in hindsight, we should have all realized dazai was faking it when chuuya shot him on the shoulder and he screamed in pain coz he had never screamed in pain before. he usually just took the pain quietly
