#oough their dynamic is so good. i love these two so much

[smile-files]

ohhh the juxtaposition between nickel and clover throughout ii3...

nickel has always been frustrated by clover's luck, ever since day 1, even before the "box killer" incident - he spoke of "ending her lucky streak" constantly, seeing her good fortune as something that could and would cease. he wasted an entire challenge just trying to get that to happen to no avail, which just frustrated him further.

of course, when box died because of clover's luck, he antagonized it and clover themselves even more. nickel was not only upset over box's death because of his attachment to him, but also because it was a reason in itself to validate his cynical view on the world.

nickel has been shown to be incredibly negative regarding his peers, putting down everyone he doesn't like - especially those he thinks are already bad. he was unwilling to accept balloon in ii2 because he couldn't believe that a bad person could get better; such was the extent of his cynicism and lack of faith in his fellow objects. nickel has consistently seen the worst in everything and everyone.

so what did he do when he came face to face with someone who was so thoroughly good? who was so nice and happy and fortunate, no matter what? it just felt wrong to him. nickel thought clover's luck would have to sour over time, perhaps by running dry - or perhaps by indirectly killing somebody.

as we have seen, nickel has grown a lot this season - particularly in his friendship with balloon. he's still mean and sarcastic, though less scathingly than before, and continues to doubt the good in people he isn't familiar with. a more thoughtful side opens up, and he starts regarding people's feelings, but he continues to put down clover's luck as bad.

but here? now? in her elimination? clover wants to give that luck to him.

at this point it's dawning on nickel that clover is a good person. she wants him to be happy, and she wants everyone else to be happy; she isn't perfect, but she's unabashedly trying her best to be better, and she's willing to give up so much for that. nickel is still insistent that their luck is a curse, but clover is sure he'll come around eventually, and "learn to share the wealth"... nickel has been learning how to accept goodness, and one day, he'll learn how to uplift it. clover has faith in her fellow objects that they will all use their fortune to help others instead of hurting them; clover has faith in nickel.

i'm not sure if anybody's really had faith in him before.

out of everyone, including clover's closest friends, nickel is the most shaken by their elimination. somebody believes in him now. and that person is gone. what will he do now that he's been exposed to a brighter world...?

[mintys-musings]

undead x anzu thoughts... mostly abt their first time/general hcs

NSFW under cut~

ReiAnzu

does not take long for the two to fuck for the first time. listen. these are the only ones i can imagine fucking without even dating first. they probably started off as friends with benefits actually.

it took anzu being unable to sleep after finish editing a proposal and rei being around to offer to possibly help her relax to get her to melt. rei is sappy and remembers this fondly because it was a full moon so he had more energy than usual

after that, they fuck more often than not. usually under the same circumstances as their first time. anzu hates to admit how addicted she got to his dick, but it got to the point where they basically pavloved each other to start getting horny as soon as midnight rolls around.

they had to stop for a bit when it got to that point. and now they're more normal abt how often they fuck. rei constantly teases her about the previous phase though

it's always sensual and intimate. feather light kisses from rei and anzu holding his hands to pull him close. it's almost ritualistic tbh

rei is part of the tiddy enjoyers (some of his stories guys...) and it makes anzu so blushy. he's also a fan of having her suck on his nipples. he teases her saying that he might start producing milk if she keeps it up- even if it's his idea- omg femstars rei would go so good with this oough...

they have a little game where anzu will cockwarm rei until she's done with whatever paper work she has. first to break is the loser. theres no actual winner or loser though sometimes they use this to determine who'll pick what they eat for dinner that night. anzu has gotten incredibly good at keeping a straight face while rei ruts into her

out of everyone in this list, they are by far the kinkiest pairing. lots of general bdsm and wax play specifically happening

KaoAnzu

coffin sex doesn't happen much but it's happened. neither of them really enjoy it

expensive looking couple aesthetic ngl

their first time has to be after they start dating, but it's relatively quick compared to the others.

it's probably after a string of dates. one time after dinner, they're a little more touchy than usual and kaoru whisks her away to a hotel

kaoru is the one that takes the lead the first time, acting like the more experienced one. even though they're both essentially starting from the same base. but...

in actuality, their first time is very soft and cute. anzu and kaoru explore each other's bodies with care and love. they both praise and kiss each other lots. kaoru teared up a little but he denies it

after that- he does not realize how often anzu gets horny until later since she hides it. it's only after he's caught her avoiding him after a live, flush faced and whiny, that he realizes anzu might be needier than he thought

promises to make up for all the times he hasn't noticed and god does he keep his word.

they both become masters at quickies. anzu usually does not get horny during work but sometimes she's just frustrated. and kaoru's idol activities are usually at night when she's the most needy so it's a skill they possess now

anzu tops less than you think because kaoru wants her to take it easy and for her to relax after a long day of work.

but given how much she loves work... he decides to use that side of her for something self indulgent. he orders her around in bed sometimes, but nothing ever too difficult. just things she might need to put in a little effort for. why does he do this? so he can see that bright smile of hers when he praises anzu for a job well done~!

light dom/sub dynamics might end up bleeding through to non-sexual scenarios when it's just the two of them

kaoru dotes on anzu so much during aftercare it's so cute

"subtley" gifts her lingerie from time to time because he likes seeing her dolled up

KogaAnzu

takes the longest out of every UNDEAD pairing to fuck. not because he doesn't want to but because he forgot it was like a thing people do. it'll be months into dating anzu and he's jacking off and suddenly he's like. "wait i could just ask anzu if she wants to fuck."

koga gets so fucking embarrassed asking if anzu if she wants to do it. yet he's super blunt about asking. what's the point of sugar coating it? anzu thinks its very funny though

he'd be scared of hurting her the first time they have sex so he spends an absurd amount of time prepping her- aka anzu gets overstimulated even before koga even sticks his dick in. she's not complaining~

okay so anzu did not really get the whole alpha/omega stuff before, but after koga growls in her ear it unlocks something in her

after that she encourages him to be more rough with her and that she can take it. koga is very hesitant-

what ends up happening is anzu essentially trains him to be the perfect feral dom. she does it by winding him up and then having him blow off that steam on her

sometimes she takes control though if koga has had a particularly long day. he loves it when she tells him what a good boy he is while riding him

breeding kink is STRONG here. not because either of them want kids but because koga can't help but want to fill her hole with cum. it just feels nice

anzu's pleasure always comes first though. koga likes to make sure she comes at least twice before he's done with her.

anzu has given koga a blowjob in the band club room and honestly it was some of the best head he has ever gotten because of the thrill of getting caught. he'd never tell anzu this

speaking of things he would never tell anzu: how much he'd want to try having a threesome. he'd only want to do it with the rest of UNDEAD or mao

AdoAnzu

their first time is after they start dating, initiated by anzu. i imagine at least a month in

anzu's size kink and thirst for muscley men ruins any sort of self control in her and she lacks any ability to hide how much she wants him. so when they both go to the gym and she sees him lift his shirt to wipe his sweat right after he deadlifts plates twice her weight- girlie cannot focus on her execises. she wants a different form of cardio

poor adonis- like koga- is worried about hurting her but anzu insists that she'll be fine and she can take it. this doesn't convince adonis whatsoever

he makes her wait until they get home. he is very gentle and takes his time learning what he should do. anzu instructs him nicely through everything since this is a big step for both of them. he is very eager to eat her out as prep though

anzu gets overstimulated even before someone actually fucks her part 2

adonis peppers her face with kisses while they fuck and anzu is too blissed out to really register anything else. adonis thinks she looks the cutest like this

he does that thing where he presses his hand over anzu's lower abdomen while they fuck and she's whimpering and moaning all pretty

he now gets the whole size kink thing in that moment

as soon as anzu recovers from the first round she's begging adonis for more

ive said this before somewhere, but hear me out. adonis knows sign language (forgot which story it's mentioned but ik he uses sign in one of them.) now knowing that anzu likes being fucked beyond comprehension, he teaches her basic signs so she can still communicate when her voice is hoarse from moaning or if she's too shy to verbalize whatever during sex

he tries very hard to meet her requests to be rough, but he can't bring himself to be as rough as she wants right away

from then on, anzu slowly tries showing him it's okay to be rough

given how stoic he appears, she often tries teasing him over text to see if it'll illicit a reaction. she likes sending him pictures or videos of her touching herself- or even audio notes of her moaning his name

adonis saves all of them to a folder on his phone it's mixed in with just regular photos of her though so he has to be careful

loid/yor and damianya 👀

YEAHH

-Loid/Yor

Ship it | Don’t Ship It

1. What made you ship it?

I think that the grenade scene did it for me… They’re dynamic is so funny and wholesome that it’s hard not to. They’re so stupid I hate it (affectionate). And the fact that their relationship is somehow a slow burn despite the fact that they’re married— oough, literally right up my alley.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

How much they genuinely care for the other and for Anya. Yor really tries hard to be a good wife for Loid and it’s adorable to watch. The teases are fun too, and it’s very heartwarming to see them over time actually falling into their role of husband and wife.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Honestly? I wouldn’t mind if their relationship stays platonic or if Loid ends up with Fiona.

-Damianya

Ship it | Don’t Ship It

1. What made you ship it?

Um literally the very second Damian was introduced as Desmond’s son I went: “Please fall in love with Anya please it’d be so hilarious-”

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

THESE TWO ARE MY FAVORITES… I love seeing Damian being his mean mean tsundere self and confusing Anya because. She’s like, six. She literally cannot understand why he’s hot and cold and it’s hilarious to watch them interacting. Anya trying so hard to befriend Damian but him always being mean to her because he’s Damian… Aaagh. Whenever I see Damian care for Anya, it’s like, a bullet to the heart.

also. this

HE DOES THE HEH BACK I CAN’t

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Hmm, I don’t think so? I do think that Yor and Loid would be quick to adopt him into the family, despite Lois’s initial reluctance due to him being a Desmond.

[jackienautism]

no bc it's also been. YEARS since i was Really into dr (and i was. REALLY into dr KSJDF. yeah it's been like three years huh). but YESSS your taste is so good. my favorites if i remember correctly were uhhhh hina and sayaka from thh for SURE. there were a bunch more who i liked but those two were the ones i ended up being not normal at all about. and then AKANE akane was like. i loved akane. AND YESSS sonia nevermind the character of ALL time. i remember i liked hajime a lot too i think he was my favorite protag. and i really enjoyed gundham!! sdr2 was probably my favorite cast on average, i enjoyed them all a lot with like one or two notable exceptions. and then with v3 my favorites were miu tenko and angie because i love widely hated female characters lol nobody got those three like i did i was in the trenches doing deep character analysis i tell you

ALSO. nekomaru most mentally stable dr character truther!! i am also usually All Girls but i think about hypothetical nekomaru nagito dynamic semi regularly because putting the most mentally stable and one of the most mentally. not. stable characters next to each other yields extremely funny dynamics..

i also put a LOT of thought into celeste sayaka dynamics like it's about the fronts we put up the masks we wear the performance of it all..... i will never be normal about those two ever.. man i am thinking about dr characters again this is wild.

also YESSS i love kyoko's va and i loved her as ann in p5.... speaking of which...... who are your p5 favorites.... i am a haru girlie personally. also talk to me more about va's i would love to hear about va's...

sorrry for the late response, im gonna answer the rest of my asks in the next little bit :]

youand me🤝🤝 i was huge in DR during the second half of ? 2020 and it came to be such a Big hyperfixation. i CANT believe it's been 3 years. i just can't. BUT THANK YOU!!!!! THAT MEANS A LOT 2 ME HEHE i am pretty much a fan of all the characters in one way or another though... except for the one that starts w/ k and ends in okichi LOL...

HINA AND SAYAKA ARE SUCHU GOOD CHOICES FOR SUUURE sayaka is just incredibly interesting (despite the amount of screentime she got) and aoi is such a genuine sweetheart, i lvoe them both. AKANE IS ALSO SUCH A GOOD CHOICE, its amazing all this girl has gone through and yet shes still one of the cheeriest characters. and i jsut love how like. how she is with the people she cares about. PLUS HER RELATIONSHIP W/ SONIA IS SOOO CUTE... i specifically remember liking their lil interactions during one of the ? last trials. hajime best protag is also a very good choice, i remembner rly likking his personality and stugff.. plus i loved his voice as well lkldngd you're def not alone in loving the sdr2 cast in its entirety! which im sure you're aware of. im kind of interested to hear who your 1 or 2 exceptions were though (eyeballs)AND OOO A GOOD BATCH FOR V3... i of course cant say much in depth since i havent played the third game but GOSH... i can def say now that both tenko and angie esp deserved sooooooo SOOOOO mcuh better... i hate what kodaka did to them. im super happy all 3 of them had such a huge fan behind them though!!!!!

YESSSS GLAD ITS AGREED UPON and GOSH GOSH ive def seen nekomaru and nagito once or twice before and that seems HILARIOUS. i think theyd balance each out well... since obv nagito's whole thing is self deprecation and whatnot and nekomaru's whole thing is pumping others up and cheering for them right? i think in the end nekomaru wpuld help nagito work on that part of himself

IVE THOUGHT ABT A CELESTE AND SAYAKA DYNAMIC BEFORE 2 OOUGH i also rtemember adding like.... kyoko into the mix for some reason... i cant remmeber exactlt why holdon. ok....... i beleive it has something to do w/ all of three of them concealing their "true" selves for like.all of their lives... and i find that sooo interesting bc they all seem so different and yet. emotional / emotions wise. theyre so very similar.concealing certain aspects of themselves to an extreme degree? being shit w/ regulating their emotions? yeah. sorry for going off topic but YES sayaka / celeste is so good...... itd genuinely be a great like. contrast / balance. someone whos Mostly in touch w/ their feelings paired with someone who literally hides themself for a living? amazing. does any fo this make sense i hope it does my bad its been a while since i thought abt DR characters too DJKGDN cant believe this shit

ANN MYBELOVED !!!!! ann will always be such a fave.. like of all time i think.... ia lso rly like shiho. but. ok. ill be real i havent played the entirety of p5 (the most ive gotten to is the middle of ann's arc) so i dont know just yet if i would enjoy any of the other phantom thieves / characters yk... ia slo rly like ryuji so far ! haru seems like an awesome choice though . lvoe how fucking violent she is, girlboss

HEHE OK. VAS. THANK YOU. sure you already know but erika harlacher voices both kyoko and kaede... and shihos va, christine marie cabanos, also voices chiaki / himiko i believe. and sean chiplock (taka) voices mishima! for the rest of the phantom thieves though... max mittelman voices ryuji, xanthe huynh haru, FORGOT ERICA LINDBECK VOICED FUTABA..... pretty sure shes the current barbie, and kotoko! cherami leigh is makoto, who also voices komaru! and ofc matthew mercer as yusuke... who also voices that fuck face haiji and also leon in re6... robbie daymond voices goro. cassandra lee morris voices morgana! and also hina and angie i believe....

as for DR its like. a good majority have voiced 2 characters atleast. off the top of my heeeeead... lucien dodge voices both hifumi and kiibo. and im pretty sure hes dating (engaged to?) erica mendez, who voices maki. marieve herington as celeste is still fr one of my fave performances like ever in a video game.. amanda celine miller voices both toko and junko! ill stgop for now but the overlap between danganronpa persona and fire emblem is so funny. i get that like theres only reallty a handful in this industry but im pretty sure almost every single VA has been in fire emblem heroes

AND SPEAKING OF VAS!!!! brenda song also voices anne in amphibia :] whihc i like is real cool

THANK YOU FOR TALKING W/ ME.... I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!

[inactivepersonnnnnn]

Markiplier played the newest game from the Henry Stickmin series (Completing the Mission) and I’m crying it’s so good-

(Me just gushing over stuff after the cut because I don’t want to spoil and I typed out so much stuff)

The Henry Stickmin series lets plays were one of the first videos I’ve watched from Mark. Why is this a big deal? If I hadn’t watched them, believe it or not but my life would probably be so much different from how it is now. So, seeing him playing a game from the series gave me MASSIVE nostalgia. Also has made me realise that I’ve been watching his content for five years which frankly is amazing.

If you don’t know the Henry Stickmin series, you better play/watch a playthrough of them before reading because I’m going to spoil it so much. From what I know, the remaster of games 1-5 as well as the newest one is found on Steam but the original 1-5 are on Newgrounds and Stickpage.com. (Technically there are 7 in the series but whatever)

I really like the references in this one (mainly because I got a lot of them) and they were hilarious. The Undertale reference made me laugh a bit, I think I would’ve liked it more when I was Undertale trash 5 years ago. The Minecraft references were pretty good, the one where Henry was bridging to the rocket made me laugh waaay too much. Them making him go ‘oough’ when he died was a good nod to the old death sound. 

Aside from that, the text on the fail screens have just been amazing. I specifically remember the drill fail where it said something like ‘haha drill go brrrr’ as well as the part where they downgraded the animation and said the budget ran out. 

The choices this time were awesome. I LOVE the fight scenes. I don’t really watch anime but I really like how they put in one of the characters just talking during the fight and explaining everything. The funniest part for me though would be when you pick the barrel, Henry and Ellie get shot up, and you need to do a combo with Charles and the choice ‘Grab’ just makes him give you a high five before you fall. That fail had me laughing so hard it hurt. It’s probably one of the funniest fails along with Henry 360 no scoping Ellie, Charles crashing the helicopter, and the dancing distraction (all from Fleeing the Complex).

The callbacks to the previous games were also really heccing great, the dancing distraction fail was one of my favourites and I love how they made it work this time. The teleporter too, the entire scene was so well made and I love how Henry didn’t even want to use it because it screwed him over so many times. Oh! I almost forgot, in one route, the fail screen says ‘Henry will remember that’ which is a really nice nod because it references the text you see from the Ghost Inmate ending when you leave Ellie behind (’Ellie will remember that’)

I also really love how the characters from the government, the tophat clan, and the wall all appear in the game. It’s just- I love it, so so much.

Ellie and Henry’s dynamic is also really, really good. It reminds me of Joe and Cleo’s (Hermitcraft) dynamic. On his own, Joe’s chaotic but he makes it work in his own way. On her own, Cleo feels more organised and logical. Together, they do stupid things. (Terrible summary but give me a break, it’s late and I’m tired but I wanna finish this) I just really, really like their friendship and I find it so great that they’ve only known each other for like what- a day or two? And, Ellie trusts him enough to follow through with his plans even when she doesn’t fully understand them.

Okay, Ellie and Henry are great but can I just gush about Charles? 

Best. Character. In. The. Game.

Him with his plans back in Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex were enough to make me love this guy but Completing the Mission just made Charles SO GOOD. I love his chemistry with Henry (plus Ellie) and his dialogue is absolutely hilarious. Seriously, he probably has the best lines in the entire series.

Also, he is SUCH a good friend. He’s only met Henry either once or twice (depending on the endings) but in the Valiant Hero ending, he seemed perfectly fine with exploding because Henry was safe and the mission was complete. And, his final lines DESTROYED ME. His dialogue was all written out in the captions but the voice never completed it.

When watching the video, I legitimately CRIED for Charles’ death. Markiplier did NOT leave enough time to just process and get over his death. In that ending, Charles died a hero but it was so SAD. His final lines- oh g od. 

“We did it though. We got' em. Pretty good plan. You could say it was the greates-” 

...

That being said, favourite ending (and the one I consider canon in my head) is Triple Threat. I want an ending with both accomplices alive please.

I’m still not over Charles’ death aaaaa-
