what makes minedai even sadder is that we never rlly see daigo try to build a bond with anyone else like he did with mine it rlly shows how badly it effected him like yeah he reached out to shinada in y5 but that’s rlly it and he probably would wanna leave him alone after that and not involve him in any yakuza stuff so i don’t think they would’ve hung out or anything like that afterwards. All he rlly had were saejima and majima but they were more like babysitters than anything, wish we saw more of their dynamic tho like we did with majima and daigo in dead souls since that was fun and we were lowkey robbed but in canon he’s just as lonely as he was before majimas promise to kiryu. And mine is the only person he really had a meaningful relationship with romantic or not they were still really close and we don’t see that again with daigo ever (from what i recall after y3) ok sorry for rambling LMFAO

even with shinada, he reached out to him more so out of 'duty' and trying to make up for the misfortune that befell him because of yakuza than wanting to rekindle any kind of friendship they might have had in high school (though it sounds more like they were just acquaintances if shinada needing a second to remember who daigo was is anything), so yah i doubt they really had any kind of bond afterwards

dead souls really was the only time after Y3 where we got to see daigo be more sociable with someone, but its as you say majima and saejima are more like retainers than close friends

I’m not gonna lie, The Wisdom Saga is one of my least favourite EPIC sagas, there were multiple choices that I really didn’t like. however ! Little Wolf is insanely cool and I love the characterization of Antinous so far. and Love in Paradise was better than I expected

Day 10 : They bring me flowers

the first love of my life would bring me flowers like joba (hibiscus) & jui (jasmine) & genda (marygold) from her mother's potted plants. i was never really too careful with them and would either lose them or dispose the soggy flowers before the last school bell. while returning back home, i remember my hands often reaching the end of the pocket of my skirt that once had the flowers in them. id be able to smell them on my fingers. i think liked that i smelled of them the potted plant of jui in my balcony still reminds me of my time with her (sometimes)

tried my hands at pressing some flowers with a sheet of glass. multiple photos that i clicked of the pressed flowers and some shadow pic were overlaid in different angles. cut out some bengali newspaper fonts for the title and a little collage of all local flowers i click photos of mainly on my way to swimming <3

hello this is the werewolf comic i’ve been working on for 3 weeks and it’s finally done

[outeremissary]

🌱, ☘️, and 🌟? for the oc questions :)

Thanks! Given dealer’s choice, it seemed to make the most sense to answer for Carmen, one of my few OCs with a defined relationship with an animal. Besides, Wrath for Wrath- it seems appropriate.

[prompt list]

🌱- Does this oc have any pets? Do they have any pets they want?

Carmen has never had “pets.” She grew up in a farming village; from a young age she was surrounded by working animals, and even having affection for these animals comes with the understanding that they aren’t idle beasts or companions of sport. Her lifestyle and living conditions also don’t lend themselves well to looking after an animal that can’t look after itself and requires attention and care separate from your own day to day activities. I don’t think she dislikes pets as a concept, but she definitely thinks it’s better to keep animals as companions who Do Things than to just them just for the sake of keeping them (especially when it comes to the foolish indulgences of the idle and the rich).

And as a cavalier, Carmen is of course accompanied constantly by a working animal of her own- her warhorse, June. June is a chestnut brown mare with a white blaze on her forehead and a black mane. She’s more slight than might be expected for a creature brought into combat, and has a very skittish nature that makes her difficult for anyone except her master to handle. What she lacks in power and persistence of spirit she more than makes up for in agility and reflex, however. June and Carmen are an unrelenting, unstoppable force on the battlefield, and the mobility and height June grants her rider compensate significantly for the disparities between human and demonic abilities and physiques.

Carmen has a deep affection for her horse and insists on seeing to June’s care herself, even in Drezen with the army’s grooms readily available. There is some self-indulgence to putting so much time into that horse, but it wouldn’t be a mistake to call June Carmen’s closest companion. She trusts June in a way that she trusts few others, see June as reliable like she sees few others, and is soft with June like she is with few others. I’m not sure you could come up with a person she treats with more care. On some level, it does pain her to always be putting her beloved mount in harm’s way- although she knows June will likely meet an end as violent as her own, she wants to imagine that one day her horse will retire to a peaceful pasture instead.

🍀- Around when does this oc get up in the morning?

Carmen gets up early- before the sun is fully up in most seasons. It’s a force of long habit to be up with the day: even before her fighting days, it was the way she was raised on the farm. She doesn’t feel productive if she’s not up early, and she hates the sense of being idle. Especially when it feels like there’s always so, so much to do dragging the great beast of the crusade towards its goal. She has to work harder than anyone else. She has to see it prepared, disciplined. Underneath that habit there’s a restlessness, I think. A sense that she personally has to be ready to respond to something at all times, that it’s not sufficient to trust in others. The instincts of an aeon only deepen this egoistic compulsion.

🌟- Is this oc good at expressing themself through words or do they have to use other means?

Carmen is fucking abysmal at expressing herself through words unless what you want expressed is “imminent threat of violence,” and even that is carried mostly by body language and demonstrated willingness to back it up with action. She hates talking. She doesn’t like explaining herself. She doesn’t care for in depth discussion or debate. And she’s really not good at any of it. She doesn’t mind barking orders, but you’d be hard pressed to get her to do any more leaderly speaking. She’s quite content to let the more charismatic leaders of the crusade take the lead when it comes to communication and inspiration. She was dismayed to be named Knight Commander by Galfrey- she would have preferred to serve the queen, who she considers a far more fitting leader despite their disagreements. It was a relief to be relieved of command in the Midnight Fane, and she went into the Abyss trusting that the crusade was in better hands (especially after the purges she had conducted without the queen present to protest the housekeeping).

Despite all that, Carmen is oddly eloquent in writing. She has been a prolific letter writer throughout her life and is also a very effective field report writer. Her range of skills is wide enough to adapt to specific tasks- her journals and reports are detailed but succinct and organized, her personal correspondences are charming and thoughtful, and the official announcements she drafts herself are written with a touching compassion for the common soldiers and civilians they address that forms more than just the bones of good speech material. A woman of unexpected talents, Miss Regis.

I rewatched the second sonic film with my sister tonight and man. I forget how much I genuinely love this movie

[penguinkyun]

ive got a better review of 137 coming but before i pass out, im incredibly happy to see a theory of mine confirmed! in the end where ruby tells kana she doesnt want to be an idol like ai (i have my own thoughts about how aka wrapped that thread up but i digress) i had said previously that while aqua did tell her she didnt need to follow in ai's footsteps (c. 123) she actually believed it in c. 134 in that brilliant moment of empathy with ai, when she saw the suffering her mother went through and decided she wouldn't go through that as well

if you're going to feed your friends a fake story, it's important to be on the same page (the exciting follow up to turtleneck yagami)

[quietwingsinthesky]

Have you ever played/watched a playthrough of the game 12 Minutes? I think you'd like one of the reveals in it.

I did watch a full playthrough a while back. Unfortunately for this recommendation, I thought it was <3 stupid <3 No offense to anyone who likes it, I just thought the design of the loop in the first place was a bit clunky, the characters were sort of eh, and then the reveals themselves were, as I remember and as they played out on whatever stream I was watching, just kind of bad? A poorly put together story surrounded by poorly put together gameplay, but. like. willem dafoe was there 👍
