#ryusae family

[love---mandy]

i check your account daily looking for more updates on pregnant sae ☹️☹️

I’m just so busy 😔😔😔, (and not as efficient as I’d like to be)

(I feel like I’m running at art race of sorts 😂)

[galaxynajma]

If Shidou ever played the sims 4 before I know his world is probably so unhinged

He has the weirdest and goofiest mods ever with hundreds of ways of killing your sims

Almost all the sims he makes looks like something straight out of a junji Ito manga

Except for one …. The sim modeled after Itoshi Sae

Shidou put his sweat tears and other bodily fluids into making that sim

Sim Sae is one of the prettiest sims you’ll ever see ( tho Shidou obviously thinks it pales in comparison to actual Sae ) also Shidou gave him the option to get pregnant .. for obvious reasons

[internetegoist]

Looking at the egoist bible, and seeing Ryusae being two sides of the same coin; how back then Sae was happy and lived with a loving family. But when he kickstarted his football career in Spain, it drowned him of any emotion and all he knows is to play the sport he's good at. It ruined him and he believed he would've been better off living without it.

While with Shidou, based on his other answers (such as having no parents listed down, hating Santa) and his philosophy, we can assume he must've lived a restrictive life before Blue Lock and football was his way out of it. Football is what makes him feel alive, makes him feel free, something that fills the void inside of him. Because without it, he'll feel nothing and tears will come out.

[blanc-et-n0ir]

So KaiSae and RinSagi turn for their double date (RyuSae and RinSagi already got theirs here)

It would be ten times funnier if this double date was basically KaiSae's first date vs RinSagi's anniversary date and it was Isagi's idea because he found out that Kaiser asked Sae out and Sae agreed. Isagi found out because of Sae. Then Rin found out because of Isagi.

It's one demented form of telephone because at the end of it all, Kaiser finds out it's a DOUBLE DATE because of RIN (he kicked down his door (read: called his phone multiple times until he picked up) and started ranting about how DARE he think of going near Sae with his bullshit attitude and he should walk into a road of traffic instead of going to the double date).

Kaiser is absolutely floored because he had all these things planned and now it's ruined because of ISAGI. He's devastated. He's enraged. Isagi fucking Yoichi ruined his shit again!! And he's like ten seconds from outright calling Isagi and telling him to fuck off and never be seen in his immediate vicinity again.

Isagi calls him first and its to tell him "If you won't agree to the double date you will FAIL at wooing Sae. I swear" and Kaiser takes that as a challenge. Cause what do you mean he would fail? He could woo Sae definitely (ignore his many past rejections from Sae).

The date starts and Kaiser is glaring at Isagi who is pinching Rin who is glaring at Kaiser. All the while Sae is absolutely oblivious to it and is just content that not only is his brother here, so is his sorta friend Isagi and his maybe possibly could be crush Kaiser. So it's going great for him.

Every single time Sae turns around, it's like that one angel and devil game and it's basically Kaiser flipping Isai off to which Isagi will smile and reach for Kaiser's hair to yank it off his scalp AND Rin also looks ready to murder Kaiser as he reaches over Isagi's head to strangle him.

The date ends up as a mess and Isagi slightly feels bad and he suggest they go to an ice cream thing. While he and Kaiser order (he forcibly and physically has to drag Kaiser along), Isagi tells Kaiser to order Sae's favorite. Kaiser stared at him like how do you even know this??? And Isagi just shrugs and goes "Rin talks more about Sae than himself. I actually learn about Rin by observation or by asking Sae." (Which was how he and Sae even got close in the first place).

So, Kaiser takes the truce begrudgingly and mid enjoying their ice cream, Isagi convinces Rin that they should head out first cause he was tired and when Rin tries to argue, Isagi pulls his sad boy act and Rin MELTS. To the surprise of Kaiser and fondness of Sae. So, they leave but before they do Isagi mouths to Kaiser to "not fuck this up or I swear" and this is when Kaiser realizes that this wasn't a double date.

This was two of Sae's "family" (with quotations cause Isagi is loosely part of it because of him saying Rin and also getting close to Sae + Rin and Sae still not really talking about this issues properly) practically shotgunning him and low-key shovel talking him to make sure their first date was fine.

The date ends great! When Kaiser leaves Sae at the door, Sae snorts and reveals he knew what the other two were up to the entire time but he appreciated that Kaiser powered through it and he also really enjoyed the date nonetheless. Kaiser is flustered and stuttering mess but smooths his way through and Sae gives him a kiss and the end!!!

[intrushion]

ryusae + rin

rin is probably (definitely) forced to thirdwheel with shidou and sae …

he’s probably cursed with running into them everywhere he goes (who knows, maybe shidou’s doing it on purpose), he can’t even be in the comfort in his own home without hearing their muffled voices through the wall. it probably makes him sick to his stomach seeing his older brother participate in cliché couple activities with his arch nemesis (seriously, shidou kicked his ass twice …)

but deep down, he secretly enjoys it — their stupid family dynamic. but he’d never admit it out loud. he’d never admit that maybe, just maybe, he’s actually a little fond of shidou. he can tell his brother enjoys spending time with the bastard and that he’s happy.

even rin. he hates that him and shidou have genuine conversations here and there which almost always result in fights but he likes them. he likes the feeling of being able to finally rely on someone again

[f4gilicous]

I know people talk about how awkward family reunions would be with RyuSae and Rin… but honestly they’d be awkward either way. Imagine Rin and Sae sitting at a table, Rin glaring at Sae, as their mother stresses and father grows visibly angry.

[brainjvice]

Ask game with 20 and Ryusae ^_^

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

First thing first sorry for the late reply! I did not forget, unfortunately life got between me and yapping about sdse sigh :(

Ok so! This may be a bit complicated because I don't think Shidou would have. Actual friends. This is my personal interpretation of him but to me he's the type of guy to live friendships in the present and doesn't actually plan to form long-lasting relationships, nor is actually interested in that. Everyone who manages to stick around in Shidou's life is there "on accident", Sae included.

(I also don't think he'd have a family shdhsdh I go for the parentless Shidou route. Even if his parents were still in his life, I wouldn't really know how they'd react. And probably Shidou wouldn't care.)

Sae wouldn't really have many friends as well. He's the type of guy to have many connections, but very few actual friends. Shidou is probably the only person who actually managed to get close to him.

As for his family... Rin would kill himself. I mean he wouldn't, but he would be LOUD AND PROUD about how much he HATES Sae's taste in men. He turns into a homophobe the second sdse enter his field of vision and I honestly cant blame him.

His parents would be more supportive. They would find out on accident while watching tv because I bet all my belongings that sdse would be too careless in public and would eventually get caught by paparazzi. Shit would go down, and it would be pretty ugly, but Sae's parents seem chill enough to offer Sae protection and support (while still being worried for him).

Maybe they would be a bit "weirded out" at first but eventually accept their relationship.

(Imo Sae wouldn't really... "care",,,,, more like he would find it hard to accept his parents' help or their support. Hyperindependence strikes again)

Sooo yeah thats all! Once again sorry for the late reply, I hope you enjoyed reading this~

[boinin]

Ok, so I wanna see 20 for HioRin and RyuSae, but I’m curious what their reactions are to each other, rather than just the parents.

sure! sorry for the delay, I had guests this weekend so I couldn't squirrel away writing as I usually do. Ask game here, willing to answer for ships for a few more days if anyone's got questions they'd like answered.

20. What do their family/friends HioRin think of their relationship RyuSae?

Sae tells Rin one day, without preamble. Just I'm dating Ryuusei, like he's telling the time. Rin's shoulders bunch and a hundred responses run through his mind, each of them more lukewarm than the last. He settles on OK, returning his attention to the slasher film he'd been watching. Sae lingers for a moment, before slipping away silently.

When he's gone, Rin sinks his head into his hand and barks out a groan. Does his shitty brother do everything in his power to piss him off?

He tells Hiori about it online, when they play games later that night, failing to keep the venom from his voice. Hiori hums softly as Rin tails off, keyboard and mouse clacking as he takes out the zombies that were about to swarm Rin on-screen.

Would Sae have told ya if he didn't care? Hiori eventually asks, after carrying both of them to first place; Rin's too preoccupied to contribute to their rank. I don't understand why he picked Shidou-kun of all people—and I don't know him like you do—but if it wasn't a big deal to him, I don't think he'd have said anythin' at all.

Rin grunts and changes the subject, and Hiori indulges him, cheerful in spite of his sullen mood.

But the next morning, when Sae leaves his bedroom, Rin is waiting for him in the hallway. Warn me if you're inviting him over, he says over crossed arms. And don't expect me to talk to him.

Sae simply nods and pushes past him to the bathroom. The tension in Rin's shoulders ease a little. Life goes on.

20. What do RyuSae think of HioRin?

Sae's not really sure when Hiori stopped being a friend I play with online and started being the guy I sneak into my room while everyone's out of the house. He catches them one morning, brushing their teeth in the bathroom. Hiori smiles and waves, cheeks a dainty pink. Rin's face turns scarlet.

Rin refuses to address the situation, but he stops sneaking around. Hiori comes over frequently—his parents are lukewarm, Rin explains when Sae asks. Rin hasn't been calling him a shitty brother as much lately. Only once, after Sae asks to make sure the two of them are being responsible, prompting Rin to call him a hypocrite after what he's been forced to overhear when Shidou stays over. Sae concedes his brother has a point. After that, he buys spare condoms and mouldable earplugs to leave in their shared bathroom.

Shidou is pleasantly surprised at Rin's character development. When he congratulates Rin on becoming less lukewarm himself, he narrowly dodges the resulting punch. But they turn a corner eventually. When he notices Rin's nervousness before one of he and Hiori's first public dates, Shidou sits down with him and offers some advice. None of it is received well, but Rin's less uptight by the time the doorbell rings.

Shidou's the driver between the four of them hanging out together. Hiori's reasonably easy to win over, and Sae quietly values Shidou making an effort with his brother. They'll pull up party games on an old console—Hiori usually wins, so the competition's really for second place. Shidou also enjoys making food for all four of them. The one and only time Rin willingly compliments Shidou is on his cookery.

---

Overall, I think Hiori would give Shidou the benefit of the doubt, when it's clear the animosity between Shidou and Rin has eased. Both good-natured, they'd eventually bond and enjoy teaming up to tease their Itoshis. Rin wouldn't warm to Shidou exactly, but he'd eventually find himself missing the buzz Shidou creates when he's around. Shidou borderline flirts with Rin and does his best to win him over, undeterred by his glares. In time, Rin would ask Shidou about the things he doesn't want to talk to Sae about. They still clash, but become brotherly in a different way to Rin and Sae.

[eurydicees]

in need of fanfic/book recs from ya <3

ooooooh okay idk what genre of book or fandom/ship fic you want so here are my general recent favorites! i'm not gonna give a summary, just a small note/review with my thoughts, so ur gonna have to google the books and click the ao3 links--my apologies but this post was getting way too long lmfao

real life books!

gideon the ninth / the locked tomb series by tamsyn muir: i'm really working my way through this series and i loooooove it. the characters make me crazy and every turn in the plot has me screaming a little. there's been a lot of deranged texts to irls about this one.

under the whispering door by t.j. klune: this book DID make me cry. it's a really well woven story about love for your family and your friends and death and finding satisfaction and fulfillment in life (and death) and moving forward. HIGHLY recommend his other book (the house on the cerulean sea) as well!! i read that one first and it's a really gorgeous, satsifying read.

the shell collector by anthony doerr: this is a short story collection technically but i loooooove it. each story individually is really beautifully done and i absolutely LOVE his writing style. i think i take a lot of inspiration from him for my own writing!

on earth we're briefly gorgeous by ocean vuong: top books that, like, make yourself feel seen. another author/poet that i feel i can attribute a lot of inspiration for my style and love of words to in general.

sharks in the rivers by ada limón: poetry collection! but one of my all time favorite poetry collections and i can't let this go unnamed. i absolutely ADORE ada limón (you may know her from "the great blue heron of dunbar road" or "instructions on not giving up", which floats around tumblr pretty regularly). i think i first read this collection for class but it genuinely changed something in me. i actually have a tattoo based on these poems <3

post-colonial love poem by natalie diaz: another poetry collection but this one, like, fucked me up. it's woven together as a collection in an absolutely breathtaking way, but each poem also stands alone really beautifully.

fics - haikyuu!!

a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam by swampdragons (iwaoi, 6911 words): i read this a bit ago and really loved it, though it was also really emotionally difficult for me to personally get through--one of those fics that really drives the emotions home so deeply that it hurts to keep going. part of that might just be my own personal connection to the topic. idk. but either way it's ABSOLUTELY worth it.

The Benefits of Patience by Moami (iwaoi, 3363 words): this one's silly and funny and so much more lighthearted than the prev rec lmfao. it's like. healthy but messy but established but not established but a real relationship but an almost relationship to be iwaoi <3333

The Way He Looks At You by roobtheboob (iwaoi, 3805 words): i think i read too much iwaoi. but this one's really cute i PROMISE. i like the kyoutani POV idea a lot and i think the way kyoutani is written overall is really well done, particularly in the team dynamic and his respect for iwaizumi.

The years shall run like rabbits by ladyoflalaland (ushiten, 7292 words): obsessed w this fic. ushijima's mother is written out to be a REALLY interesting character and her strained relationship with ushijima is fascinating. the passage of time of it all......man.

fics - other fandoms

"Normal" by OnigiriCat4Ever (fruits basket, kyohru, 7140 words): this one's a really cute post-canon character study of sorts and i really love it. i love how the 7yo hajime is written and his relationship with kyo is really sweet.

The act of loving in return by kindokja (bllk, ryusae, 2809 words): this one's both funny and heartwrenching and sweet and painful all at once. beautiful, necessary mix in a fic. i like it a lot.

turn your face (towards the sun) by youareoldfatherwilliam (atla, gen, 5813 words): im normal about fics abt the chit sang and the 41st, in case u were curious!

that's all i got for now? i literally just went through my most recent bookmarks and cherry picked some special highlights lol. feel free to let me know if you want anything more specific!!!!! u already know i loooooove giving recommendations<3

[thecurrator]

1, 2, 12, 15 and 24 for mikoto, kaiser, sae, azul and aki if that's okay^^

Thank you for these, Lina! <3

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Mikoto: Mikoto is just a guy. His design is cute, he's so silly, so clueless. Someone help him. As of now, it seems as though he really didn't have anything to do with his murder, so maybe he really is the only normal prisoner in milgram.

Kaiser: ...What do I even say about him. I think I have a thing for flamboyant blondes with a superiority complex. That was the archetype for my first anime crush haha 😀 His tattoo is great. His hair? Not so much. Especially his original haircut before Ness changed it. Also. Um. His method of thinking of a way to beat Isagi was...🧍🏻Man is not okay. I can't wait to see his tragic backstory.

Sae:🧍🏻🧍🏻🧍🏻 I like how in Rin's flashbacks, Sae isn't so outwardly affectionate or doting. Like, you can see his cold and aloof personality but still understand his love for Rin. He shows it in the little things! I don't care much for the sibling dynamics where the older sibling is so loud in their loving, so Sae was an older brother that I can relate to more. 😀 Also, his bangs when he was younger are oddly cute. His bad luck is so funny too. I'd like to see his relationship with Rin improve tho. Come on man, its not that hard.

Azul: I've said before that I don't actually like canon Azul that much. I can admire his tenacity, and his dramatic tendencies are funny in small doses. His relationship with the tweels is so... Why can't they show affection normally? 🥲 But hey, at least they're having fun. Azul's way of talking does sound to me like a sleazy salesman trying to scam you. But its okay, his Halloween card makes up for everything.

Aki: I only watched the anime and exposed myself to some manga spoilers about major events, so I don't have much to go off on. But! ...He's so malewife. Get me a man like him. His backstory was um. The part where his parents prioritized his brother and told him to entertain himself because he's the older brother got to me. Yeah, his little brother was sick, that's fair. But ahhh the elder sibling trauma is- Okay, now let's talk about his topknot. No. I hate it. Why does his hair stand up like that. He's so hot, why is his hair like that? 😭😭

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Mikoto: His ghost drawing in minigram was super cute

Kaiser: The clear collar he wears in his manga cover 🤔🤔

Sae: His bad luck with ice cream sticks

Azul: He doesn't like nutritional food ahdskdjsdks help him

Aki: Seeing him go bowling in the csm op was...jarring

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Mikoto: I believe in the trikoto theory 👀

Uh, I don't have headcanons for any other characters. I'll come across portrayals of them that differ from canon in fics that I like, but I don't actually have any headcanons of my own. Sorry, Lina. :(

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Mikoto: The milgram shipping pool is so small hdsjkjsdksjs. 0909 compels me tho 👀 Whether platonic or romantic, its so angsty and complicated. They literally cannot communicate. Orekoto just wants to protect Bokukoto. He's trying his best and it isn't helping.

Kaiser: Kainess. Another toxic doomed yaoi ship, I'm quite predictable. I'm hoping that Kaiser will either start to treat Ness better or Ness will just up and leave Kaiser. Either way, I win. Or not, because Kaiser seems to be more likely to kill himself first.

Sae: Ryusae. Any ship with Ryusei in it will have chemistry because of his bombastic personality. Sae has been seen interacting with a grand total of 3 people during his time in the bl manga, and 1 of them is his brother. So my options here are literally just Aiku and Ryusei.

Azul: The octotrio hnggggg

Aki: I don't have any romantic ships for him. :0 The found family he had with Denji and Power was cute.

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Mikoto: I tried thinking about it for a second and MIDORIYA IZUKU CAME TO MIND 🤯😨🤔 Take that how you will

Kaiser: Um. Afuro Terumi from Inazuma eleven.

Sae: Itachi from Naruto. I'm not even in the Naruto fandom, its just that Sae has been compared to Itachi a lot.

Azul: I... honestly can't think of anyone. He's one of a kind.

Aki: Megumi Fushiguro...

[love---mandy]

Who do you think Natsumi would play for 🤔 Japan or Real Madrid like sae 🤔 (an excuse to ask for more Natsumi content AHAHAHAH)

I am always happy to provide Natsumi content~

(The BM uniform was a treat for myself, it’s my favorite uniform from NEL)

I feel like she’d probably play for a team she chooses (She wants to be out of the very large shadows of her dads). Im not even 100% sure she’d play soccer. Like she’d definitely enjoy it, but she’d also feel an obligation to play, while simultaneously wanting to just do her own thing. (I feel like it’s got some yummy angst potential)

But I also love the idea of her participating in an all female Blue Lock program, she’d really get to let loose.

[galaxynajma]

4, 20, 29 with rinkaisagi for the ask game :3

4. Favorite non-sexual activity:

Parks , zoos , something like that

Isagi wants Rin to not be a edgy teen for once and touch some grass

Kaiser just likes looking at the pretty flowers

Rin likes to make them both watch horror films with him .. much to the discomfort of Isagi

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?:

Isagi’s parents are supportive ( ofc ) they love anything that makes their son happy

Rin’s parents are a little confused about how Rin can have two boyfriends but they try their best to be supportive

Imagine itoshi family dinner with Rinkaisagi and Ryusae … chaos

29. one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart:

Their relationship was rocky .. like really rocky at the start

They would take long breaks from each other, they broke up once and then got back together once all three of them realized they miss each other

Isagi tries to comfort both Kaiser and Rin on anything they have going on, but you knows it’s hard to open up, even if it’s with the person you love

One of the reasons for their breakup was Isagi tired of playing therapist for them both

[internetegoist]

Hello. Here is me making an actual proper introduction this time now.

Call me anything but if you don't know what to call me, you can call me Fam!! You can use any pronouns on me now! This is my sideblog for most things anime but just generally everything I'm interested in. I'm generally into the shounen, horror and magical girl genre of animes! I am also into rhythm games if they have Ikemen! The main topic I talk about currently is Blue Lock since it's my hyperfixation at the moment. My second favourite things are Milgram and 19 Days too! I tend to do analysis on my favourite things.

So far my favourites in BLLK are Alexis Ness, Shidou Ryusei, Itoshi Brothers, Don Lorenzo and Michael Kaiser. Ryusae is my favourite ship of all time, Kainess is my second family. Besides Blue Lock, my other favourite characters from my other favourite media are Mo Guan Shan, Denji, Maki Zenin, He Tian and Mahiru Shiina!

Send me any sort of ask about anything, I will absolutely enjoy receiving them no matter what type it may be!

By the way, I'm a burner account of sorts so I won't be listing that much information about me such as my main blog or my other social accounts. I'll only give them to you if I believe we're close enough. That's all! If you have any concerns feel free to send them to my messages or inbox. Thank you!!!

[hiorintruther]

Sometime is wish the homoerotic undertones of Blue Lock could be somewhat canonised for Ryusae specifically…

Purely because I think Shidou would use it to absolutely harass Rin to no end. Like, they’re currently stuck on the same team together so imagine Shidou just walking past Rin one morning and going “how goes things, future brother-in-law?” and Rin being absolutely LIVID at the notion that Sae has somehow made his life EVEN WORSE by dating the person he hates probably second most in the world (the first being Sae himself, of course).

Or Rin commenting on how Shidou’s performance on the field was “lukewarm” and Shidou just responds with “funny, that’s not what your brother told me last-“ and he wouldn’t get to finish because Rin has already gone in for a punch. Of course, Shidou is being all talk here. He just wants to really twist the knife and see what happens.

Or maybe one day Loki chastises Rin’s personality and Shidou takes the opportunity to say smth like “y’know, when me and Sae have kids I want their uncle to be someone who’s actually fun to be around”.

Or Shidou just drops random one-liners during training that have varying degrees of truth behind them (aka they’re usually completely untrue and Shidou is fully just trying to wind Rin up), like “I’m planning mine and Sae’s wedding rn. Do you want to be my best man coz I think Sae’s first choice is Aiku.”

Some other random one-liners I think Shidou would make up to piss Rin off include:

“I hope family dinners don’t get to awkward… since we’re colleagues, and all. Ideally I wouldn’t want to impose myself but you know how demanding Sae can be.”

“I’m so glad I don’t have your number coz some of the stuff I send Sae is for his eyes only.”

“What emojis do you associate Sae with? I’m changing his contact name atm. I was gonna go with red heart, peach, tongue, blushing face… but I need a second opinion.”

“God I miss Sae! Next time I see him I’m gonna hug him so tight and never let him go and stroke his luscious, soft hair that combs through my fingers while we make out and-“ (gets punched)

“What sort of presents does Sae like? I’m just thinking ahead to our anniversary. I wanna surprise him.”

*waxing shitty, made up poetic about Sae at 3am: “…and his (Sae’s) thrilling aura of power that could change the heart of any beast… unlike his brother whose vibes are constantly rancid…”

Like he doesn’t have to make jabs at Rin’s appearance or performance on the field. The mere fact that Sae is dating Shidou is enough to fill Rin with unbridled amounts of rage, which ends up becoming an impossibly easy punchline. Rin ends up getting so angry and violent-minded that he fumbles over his comebacks and ends up making a fool of himself. Idk I just think Shidou would be able to find every possible way to use his relationship with Sae to drive Rin up the wall. Kaneshiro please canonise Ryusae specifically because I think Shidou would find it a comedy goldmine.

The Wulf's Eye: RP Journal #35 | Endwalking

THIS CONTAINS ENDWALKER SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T CLEARED 6.0 : THIS IS A CAMPAIGN I'M PARTICIPATING IN WITH MY BUDDIES REGARDING ENDWALKER! SOME OF THIS IS TIMEBUBBLED!

Ever since I saw those towers, I knew one way or another.. I would get involved. How? Absolutely no idea. That was until everyone over the Vault pearl started to report some alarming things. The feeling of offness.. dread. And that was confirmed as Ichiki expressed the agonies of the land, and as well as Jigoku ghosting from our world. Two great forces..

I went out to sense the Kami, utilizing Roku's shard within me.. his blessing. Ichiki ultimately, is all around us in nature of this world.. like a blanket to coat the land out of defense whilst it undergoes this.. impending doom. Soon after, we received reports of abnormalities throughout the lands. Thavnair in particular.. Eiri wanted us to head there first. Eiri, Kayah, and Brice reported an encounter with one of these corrupt entities that are supposedly.. aetherless. They do not feel pain, even if their limbs were torn off.

We set off to meet at the bridge outside of Radz-at-Han, and sure enough.. the sky was in flames. It was hot all around us. Aioux, Sejad, Brice, Kayah, Demeter, Wisp, Eiri, Akai, Zihji.. all present. Eiri wanted to check on their family estate. As we made our way into the jungles.. well.. sure enough we were faced with these spoken monstrosities Wisp refers to as the 'Aetherless', but the name given as a rumor is called 'Blasphemies' based off of intense negative emotion.

Two monkey-like distorted creatures, a large bird which initially struck Sejad, some.. disgusting thing.. they reminded me of the impurities from one of the eight hells. The Abyss.. The bird creature knocked us all off our feet. They were not to be taken lightly. We had to face off with each of them, and I took the one that Wisp had gone for. Not that I doubted him, but the others were occupied by multiple of us and surely that thing wasn't to be taken down solo. Fighting side by side with Wisp felt natural, as I've observed his movements at the sword at least, for a very long time. I was pleased to see him utilizing them on the field, like any student should.. He faired well, until later.

Once we managed to take that group down, steady on our feet.. we made our way deeper, towards Eiri's estate. Though.. the amount of -death- throughout the air.. was alarming. There were bodies littered everywhere.. Markings, the stench of 'regret' as reported by Sejad. I noticed a marking dug into the ground, pointed us south. We headed deeper and.. that's when it hit us.

A giant oni creature before us in the form of a blasphemy with a large sword, knocked nearly all of us back.. Eiri got the brunt of it and they were out unconscious.. so the rest of us acted quickly. We rushed to face this thing off.. which was far tougher than the batch we faced off prior. We ended up realizing the armor needed to be ripped off after Brice directed a levin-aspected attack towards him which.. retaliated at every touch. I thought it would be fine to send my shikigami to it, but that thing somehow knew to focus on them rather than on myself.. thus it inflicted damage upon myself. The moment that thing struck Jozu with lightning, I felt it. At the same time, I felt Wisp throwing his sword, Ryusa! Oh, that may have hurt more than the lightning. That was until the ring of Fudoo-sama acted and sent waves throughout my arm and side, fuck. It HURT.

I still can't believe Wisp threw his sword. Fuck, that thing came back in one piece but I'm sure Ranmaru could patch it up.. but FUCK. Though, this gives me all the more reason to show him the rest of the mizu no kokyu attacks later on.. Though, the aftermath wasn't pretty.. thankfully Kayah was there to heal my arm before any lingering damage could be done.. again. At least this time it wasn't me directly using the ring, otherwise that would be worse..

Things were tense and.. eventually Eiri came to. Though, I could feel the sadness. But something about Eiri in particular was off.

Eiri's father..

[dailysuna]

(I can ask less if you're getting overwhelmed) I don't honestly know much about the internal structure of suna. Could you outline the power structure, in as much or as little detail as you please? My fic needs it and you're waaaay more interesting then the wiki pages. Also are there any other named players in the village who have political influence or who helped during the shift in power?

Hahaha I'm glad I'm more interesting than the wiki pages, I try 😤. So yeah lemme lay it out for you as best I can.

Like everything else with Suna, we know pretty much nothing and so I have accumulated my knowledge from the other mods and I painstakingly researching through 500 different wiki pages some of which provide conflicting information with one another and then trying to tie things together where we could. I've seen a few things describe Suna as a monarchy and I will say that is completely incorrect based on the information we do have. I assume this comes from there being a thing on some wikis called "Kazegake Family" which is false. There is no canonical implication at all that any of the kazekage are related and in fact they all tend to look extremely different from one another. The only two related as far as we are aware are Gaara and Rasa. Monarchy doesn't necessarily need to be hereditary, which is the most common type of monarchy, as far as I'm aware. Basically, being a monarchy means one person has complete control and power when ruling. This would be closer to Konohagakure actually, where we see a Hokage who is the only one with the ability to pass laws or just do things. They have advisors, but these advisors actually have no power or say in what the Hokage decides.

So, what is Sunagakure? Well, upon further research because I am really no expert on governments, Suna holds similarities to a Monarchy, one ruler with checks and balances from something such as a parliament, but even that doesn't fit very well. Maybe its more of a combination between a few types. Basically this search has shown me we really can't compare the kages to our own political forms of government because Naruto is, in fact, fictional and I, in fact, am no political science expert. Let me just explain how Suna does function to our knowledge instead.

The kazekage does seem to have the most power, but even then is more of a figure head leader. It seems to us that the council and kazekage work in tandem to deal with political matters, assign government officials to tasks, and do whatever else needed. The kazekage alone cannot make and pass decisions and likely a majority vote is needed, if not a unanimous one. Thus making the kazekage, to my understanding, this figure who has the power and leads the village but has the same power as the council members in political matters (likely containing powers they don't have in less political matters such as assigning shinobi missions, although consulting the council is still likely with certain things). The council seems to be made up of those recognized to be intellectuals and those possibly with power and experience, it is mostly made up of crusty old farts anyways.

As far as other prominent members go, there are some names we have for council members. To be honest I am unsure how accurate they even are as I keep seeing new information, but we've recognized there to be smelly old men on the council named: Joseki, Sajo, Goza, and Ryusa. There was also Yuura, not an old man but just as musty as them. Of course our wonderful angel Baki is on the council too. To my knowledge, Kankuro is also sort of a member of the council, whether that is because he was elected to it or because he is Gaara's top aide/advisor. Yes, Kankuro has an important spot in the government (Kinda scary but also I support him)! He seems to mostly serve as an advisor to Gaara though. Frankly that's all we really know about the council.

Hope this helps!
