....sooo
Whats the situation between sol asmo and mc?
Im conducting an investigation
#like ik sol and asmo at the very LEAST have to be friends with benefits#theres proof in the scripture#lucifer makes asmo keep the door open when sol (or mc) are in his room according to the wiki#but once u throw mc in the mix i get confused#obey me#obey me nightbringer#i think they still be doing a little hanky panky sometimes#but when it comes to mc the jealousy jumps out (....of all the characters tbf)#my main wonders are with sol tbh#since the man is like progressively becoming more forward from what im seeing in spoilers#like i saw that text between him and mammon and i was like holy shit lol#and then in lesson 25 of nb he obviously is feeling some jealousy towards asmo#maybe he doesnt do hanky panky with nb asmo?#i need to get further in the og game to really decide whats going on#asmo experiences jealousy too but idk if u see it towards solomon in the main story??#ik he kinda hinted at it in that vampiritis event...#im a asmo would not share mc if given the opportunity believer (like all the rest of the characters)#so thats why im skeptical of sol x mc x asmo type situation#maybe its one of those love vs lust situations#ppl do this shit all the time with their friends#have sex with them and then they catch feelings for someone else and call it off#but i think sol and asmo still be fucking sometimes after feelins towards mc are caught#so its a little different#does it break harem rules if two ppl in the harem are also involved with each other?? i personally think its fine#like let them eat you know#everyone here is sharing one fuckin person! let them have other options too#im supposed to be drawing but this is what im doing huh

soooo the idea is a fic set during king of scars where the reader is nikolai's childhood best first and we stumble into his room one evening and we actually see him change into the demon and just absjajnsns
i am yours - nikolai lantsov
* KING OF SCARS & RULE OF WOLVES SPOILERS *
pairing: nikolai lantsov x reader
a/n: okay this is absolutely garbage rae i am so sorry pls forgive me,,, i KNOW this is not how nikolaiâs demon works and he wouldnât just like turn back but for the sake of this fic pls pretend <33333
for the lovley @wtfrae !!! i love u pls go read her work everyone <3
warnings: spoilers! some angst n like threat of violence but yâall know me, everything is good and happy by the end
nikolai had always been the one person you could turn to. since the two of you were kids, it had always been an unbreakable bond. something no one else seemed to understand. how to kids, tossed aside by their family, tested in every way possible, were able to find each other and bring out the best in one another. nikolai made you better, made you good.
life in ravka was never easy, it was a constant struggle. especially in the years leading up to nikolaiâs reign. the two of you almost hadnât made it out alive then, and while nikolai had been out fighting with alina in the fold, you had stayed at the spinning wheel helping the injured.
but when things finally settled down, alina and mal safe and away, nikolai had told you so many stories. the two of you had spent months apart. so out of nostalgia, every night youâd sneak into nikolaiâs room and listen to your best friend tell you stories about everything. all the battles heâd fought along as sturmhond, what the battle against the darkling had looked like.
and even when nikolai ran out of stories, and you ran out of questions, you kept sneaking into his room to talk to him. he was the king of ravka, during the day he never even stopped to take a breath. but his nights were reserved for you. just so he could hear the sound of your voice before he was bound to his bed by chains.
nikolai loved you dearly, you were the only constant he had ever known. but he couldnât bring himself to share what had happened to him during the battle with the darkling, what heâd become. instead, he told you the stories he told everyone else, how he was captured and tortured. it hurt him, to lie to you. but he couldnât have you seeing him the way he saw himself, a monster. so even though lying to you pained him every night, he would do it to hear your excited questions and giggles as you snuck out of his room.
he always made sure you were gone before zoya came in. he wouldnât be able to explain the drugging potion. or even worse, his horrible transformation into the demon that lived inside of him.
but secrets almost never stay secrets.
âsaints nikolai,â you gasped, rushing off his bed to grab grab your coat, âitâs past midnight. i canât be in here!â
nikolai sat up and looked out his window, you watched the color drain from his face. he cleared his throat and walked over to you, âyouâre right you should probably go.â
you nodded and shuffled away from him, but before opening the door you paused. you turned back to the blonde haired boy, ânikolai?â
âyes sweetheart?â he answered, facing you.
âi could,â you hesitated, âi could sleep over. one night, iâm not saying tonight. just some night. iâll sleep on the floor but, i spend all of my night here anyways. just like when we were kids.â
as nikolai slowly walked closer to you, you waited for his teasing remark and eventual acceptance. the two of you w had a sleepover since before he left ravka. of course it wouldnât be the same, as he was now king, but he was your nikolai.
instead, he gently tucked a piece of your hair and kissed your forehead. âi donât think thatâs such a good idea sweetheart.â
your heart shattered at his words and his at the fact that he had to say them. there was nothing he wanted more. nothing that would bring him more peace than holding you in his arms until the sunrise. not just for a couple of hours right before bed, not having to pretend that everything he felt for you was strictly platonic.
âohâ you said defeatedly. âthat, yeah thatâs okay. iâll see you tomorrow nikolai.â and with that you rushed out of the room.
later, as zoya gave nikolai genya and davidâs potion to knock him out, all he could think about was the horrible look on your face.
at some point in the night youâd made the decision to go talk to nikolai. the two of you couldnât go on like this, attempting to be way you have been before the darkling and alina while tip toeing around these new feelings you had for eachother.
but as you made your way to nikolaiâs doors, hand on the doorknob, you heard a soft growl coming from inside. you covered your mouth with your hand to prevent a gasp from escaping your lips. you slowly turned the handle and stepped into the room.
on nikolaiâs kingly bed was a dark giant looking demon. itâs wings were the color of the night sky seen in the window of the bed room. it took your breath away.
you pressed your back against the wall, trying to move back towards the door without making any noise. but the demon heard you and snapped itâs head in your direction.
every part of your body was screaming to run, to scream even. but something stopped you. the eyes. they stopped you. they were dark and pitch black but there was something familiar about them. not the color but the way they watched you. like they were trying to remember every single part of you just in case.
nikolai was the only person who you knew looked at you that way.
ânikolai?â you whispered to the monster.
the creature craned its neck to the side, similar to the confused head tilts that nikolai used to give you during lessons. you took a hesitant step forward, holding your hands up to show that you werenât going to cause harm.
ânikolaiâ you tried again, with more conviction in your voice.
the creature let out a small growl as a response and you flinched away. at your movement it out a whine and moved away from you.
you shuffled closer, âhey no no iâm okay. nikolai?â
slowly, as you repeated your best friends name over and over, the creature became less beast and more man. slowly morphing into a messy set of blonde curls and body youâd hugged more times than you can recall. your nikolai.
he curled up in a ball and leaned his back against the end of his bed.
ânikolaiâ you attempted softly, falling to your knees in front of him.
he scrambled away to a corner of the room, âplease. please leave. iâm begging.â his voice was raspy from misuse, thought the two of you had spoken only hours before.
ânikolai iâm not leaving, please explain to me. what was that?â you pleaded with him.
âthat was nothing, now go. please pleaseâ he sobbed into his hands.
you crossed your arms over your chest in a stubborn gesture that he couldnât even see, âyouâre lying to me again! iâm not leaving until you explain what that was. why canât you tell me the truth for once?â
âthat was me!â he yelled as he lifted his head and met your eyes for the first time.
you let out a sigh of relief at the familiar hazel color of his eyes. you crossed your legs together, âthat was you?â
âyes that was me. that is what the darkling did to me. now please,â he let out an exhausted sob âplease leave sweetheart.â
you felt tears swelling in your own eyes at his voice. how broken he sounded. your nikolai never sounded so defeated. and if he ever felt that way, he had never shown you. you crawled over to him slowly and placed your hands on the sides of his face, rubbing away the tears.
âwhat are you doingâ he whimpered and dropped his head into your hands, âi could hurt you. sweetheart, you have to go.â
âmy nikolaiâ you whispered, pushing his damp hair away from his forehead.
he closed his eyes and you couldnât tell if it was from anger, exhaustion, sadness, or a mix of all of it. âi cannot be yours. iâve lied to you, iâm a demon, a monster. you canât possibly want me to be yours.â he spit each word about himself as if it were venom, like the words ripped away a little bit of his humanity, or his confidence.
you shook your head and softly placed your forehead again his, still holding the sides of his face. âno. youâre my nikolai. you always will be.â
you placed two soft kisses on his cheeks, one on each side. âmyâ kiss, ânikolai,â another kiss.
âoh sweetheart, i am yoursâ he sighed and opened up his knees so you could fall into his embrace. âi am so sorry.â
âyou should beâ you mumbled into his chest. âwhat if you had died nikolai? and i wouldnât have known what was happening to you until it was too late. i could have helped.â
he kissed the top of your head, still hesitantly. âim a fool, you can spend the rest of my life reminding me. i didnât want to ruin this, us. itâs the last precious thing i have in my life.â
âwe are still preciousâ you whispered and clung to his shirt like your life depended on it. âthe same way you are still the nikolai i have always known, since childhood. you are still good. we will fix this.â
âand if we canât?â he asked so softly that you almost couldnât hear him.
âthen iâll have to get just as familiar with the demon as i am with youâ you joked.
and the rumble of nikolaiâs laughing chest told you that everything would be perfectly fine. demon and all, he was still your nikolai.

Hi can I request a scenario where the MC shares half of the power of dia's dad ? I would like to see how they react ! ALSO CONGRATS ON YOUR BLOG
â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
hello my lovely anon!
THANK YOU SO MUCH AKDFHKASâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸and thank u for sending this in!! ur my first official req and im very excited âĄď¸ since this is my first headcannon please bare (bear?) with me, and if thereâs anything you think i can improve feel free to send me a message! iâm all about feedback and how i can make things better :D
a/n: Iâm only going to do the brothers (+Diavolo) right now while I get a feel for my writing style, although in the future I may add the undateables :3 (newly dateables?? what are they called now? side characters??????)
MC shares half the Demon Kingâs powers (Brothers + Diavolo react)
~~~~~ Warnings: Minor spoilers for Lesson 16 for Bell pepper Belphegor. M i n o r. (Please let me know if I should add anything)
Word Count: 2473 ~~~~~
The moment you landed in the Devildom, literally everyone knew there was something up with you.
You radiated powerful energy, but since you werenât supposed to have magic, no one could exactly place why you felt so familiar. It wasnât until you were sitting in a student council meeting talking about budgets this and politics that when Diavolo had an âAha!â moment.
âIâve figured it out! All this time, I couldnât put my finger on it, but then I did!â Of course, he sounds like a kid on Christmas and he is so excited. âYour power feels like my father's!â
After some digging, Barbatos finds this: When the Demon King went into his deep, eon-long slumber, the curse used to put him under had some unexpected side affects that Barbatos is still struggling to explain (please be patient with him, heâs not used to be oblivious). This caused some of the Kingâs powers to transmit away from his body. The power needed a host to survive⌠and that host happened to be you.
But since youâre supposed to be the human who doesnât have magic, you get mixed reactions.
Lucifer
Obviously, he was ecstatic. Another headache! Yippee!
Okay listen, the Demon King is like the most powerful demon that exists, so the fact that you share his power means that you too have incredible power.
This man mostly feels frustrated, and he mentally kicks himself for not having caught that minor (major) detail that could possibly change the entire course of the rest of the exchange program if not managed correctly.
Did you know about your power? Do you know how to control it? What if you try to use your magic without supervision and end up burning the House of Lamentation down? What if you hurt somebody? Hakljdhflkasd, what if you hurt yourself?
All these questions are racing through detail-oriented first-bornâs head and this is one of the rare times he wishes it were a Mammon-money issue instead.
After doing some digging, it is indeed found that you share power with the Demon King.
He wonât leave you alone, especially with his brothers.
No, Mammon, you canât use MCâs powers to help your next money-making scheme. And no one is allowed to try and use MCâs powers to play a cursed prank on a certain overly-stressed prideful demon bby. Iâm looking at you, Satan.
If you chose to ask him to help you control your newfound power, he might try and downplay how excited he is but nonetheless he is elated and his pride has gone through the roof that you chose him.
Training with him will be efficient. Although it will probably be a little grueling, Lucifer swears itâs only because he sees how great you can become once youâve master your skills. But, uh⌠you might wanna use that pact of yours after a couple hours because the words âtake a breakâ are not in Luciferâs vocabulary.
Mammon
Of course his human shares power with the Demon King! He knows this how? B-Because this is MC weâre talking about! Obviously his MC is super powerful and amazing to the ends of the Earth and-
For a split second, he literally sees dollar signs. You now have MAGIC and with a good olâ fashion magic show comes MONEY. Even before Diavolo and Barbatos look into it for sure, Mammon is formulating plan after plan.
âWe could use this to our advantage! Next time I go to the casino, you could charm people into letting me win! You could put on shows and stuff and show off this awesome new stuff ya got. Imagine the millions thatâll roll in! Weâll be richer than Diavolo himself, and all thanks to the Great Mammon!â
*Casually ignoring that you would technically be doing all the work*
If he does end up dragging you into his one of money-making schemes, youâre in for some fun.
You explode a slot machine that Mammon was trying to get you to curse into giving up the moolah. You accidentally charm Mammon into showing his cards in a poker game instead of the dude next to him and now youâre both in debt. (Or in Mammonâs case, more so).
The next thing you know, youâre in Luciferâs office getting scolded for handing him another bill on a silver platter.
If for some reason you do chose to ask Mammon for help to control your power, he will be incredibly excited (and then be a total tsundere about it). "Y-You actually want my help? Pfft, oF cOuRsE yOu'D wAnT hELp fRoM tHe GrEaT mAmMoN-!"
Despite being everyoneâs favourite adorable doofus, Mammon is still the second-born brother and is still crazy powerful himself.
However, you two will make no progress in learning and will spend most of your time laughing and goofing around until you earn yourselves yet another lecture from Lucifer.
But who wants to be responsible when you have your very own cute demon dork, anyway?
Leviathan
HIS HENRY- HE KNEW HIS HENRY WAS AMAZINGâŚ!
B-But what if you donât want to be his friend anymore after this? Why would someone so strong and powerful and amazing still want to be friends with a gross otaku like himâŚ
âŚ.Y-You still want to come to his room tonight to watch My Best Friend Was A Simple Human For A Few Months And We Were Totally Cool With It But One Day The Demon Prince RealIzed They Actually Share The Same Power As The Demon King Himself and Now Theyâre Really Powerful And Weâre Conquering The World And Going On Cool Adventures Together with him?!
Wait, this totally reminds him of that one anime My Friend And I Were Chilling Like Normal People But Then They Found Out That Theyâre Like Super Powerful But They Still Want To Be My Friend!!!
After some reassurance that you are still his Henry and he will always be your Lord of Shadows, Levi starts to feel better.
M-MC, do you think you could use your powers to give Henry 2.0 an endless food supply�
If he's being entirely honest, it doesn't take long for the excitement to wear off and he retreats back into his comfort zone. Do you wanna play video games with him? He just bought this new one he thinks youâll like.
If you ask him to help you control your powers, Levi will be so. dang. happy. Happy, and a little bit conflicted. Why would you want a yucky otaku like him to help you with such an important responsibility?!
Just remind him he's doing the whole putting-himself-down thing again and remind him he's beautiful and that you love him always.
S-sorry MC! Of course heâll help his Henry! What sort of Lord of Shadows would he be if he didnât aid his companion, his true friend
He will be completely nervous the entire time and will be able to focus better when he is near water, so practicing what he teaches you will most commonly happen in his room or the bathroom.
Satan
He already knew. How did he know? I donât know. He just did. Satan is a knowledgeable person, so if he wants to know, he will. So he knows. Periodt.
Once Barbatos and Diavolo confirm his theory is correct, Satan is only more curious than before.
This is quite incredible, MC. Were you able to feel the power before this? How do you think theyâll work going forward? Would you like to try them out with him? Hm, youâd like to pull some cursed pranks on Lucifer with them? He thinks thatâs quite the idea and heâd be honored. Oh, thatâs not what you said? How unfortunate, youâre joining him anyways.
Everything this man does from here on out relating to your power is driven by his curiosity and drive for knowledge. Congratulations! Youâre his personal guinea pig.
Despite the few times you do get dragged into one of Satanâs cursed pranks, he is mostly just curious to know the extent of your abilities. He will spend hours on end observing you and scribbling in a little notebook he bought specifically for the occasion.
He will try to help you learn to control your new power whether you ask him or not, but if you ask him before he offers, he will become elated.
His methods of teaching are quite similar to Luciferâs (but donât you dare ever say that to his face). He may push you for hours on end, but only because heâs curious to see if your magic effects your endurance.
Despite this, he does allow breaks! Would you like to go to a cat cafe with him in your spare time?
Asmodus
Ah! Just when he doesnât think his beautiful MC could get any more amazing, they just have to go blow his mind all over again đ
He is literally ecstatic when he finds out. Just imagine how many views heâll get on Devilgram with you! His following might even grow bigger than it already is. Hm? Oh, he knows everyone already loves him. He just needs to reach the stubborn people have brains too small to comprehend what they're missing. âĄď¸
He will also be another brother who is curious about the extent of your ability. Not in the same depth as Satan, but he will want to scratch the surface and get to know more about his wonderful MC.
Overall, he doesnât mind all that much, but he is curious to see if your newfound power could speed up his morning skincare routine.
He always gets at least eight hours of sleep, or his perfect complexion would be completely ruined! But imagine if he were able to sleep in in the mornings, MC. He skin would glow! Youâll help him out, wonât you?
*Insert Asmo trying to charm you into doing it*
Whatâs that, sweetie? You want his help to learn how to control it? Heâd be delighted! Where do you even begin? You could start with ways to speed up that skincare routineâŚ
Oh dear, this may be more stressful than he thought. He might have to hand you over to Satan for this one, he would be much better suited to help you, sweetie.
But donât worry, MC, heâll be there the entire time support you through whatever hectic journey youâve started on⌠from across the room. We canât have any of that pretty magic of yours accidentally ruining his new outfit now, can we?
Beelzebub
I cannon that Beelzebub is one of those characters that understands more of what happens around him than he lets on.
That being said, Beel heard Lord Diavolo loud and clear, but these sour hellsting tarantula leg fries are starting to run low and he doesnât have any more food left to get him through the rest of this student council meeting. Heâs sure youâll understand that this is a very big issue and he needs to prioritize it.
Nonetheless, only when the meeting is over and you, Belphie, and he head over to Hellâs Kitchen afterwards (only for Beel to order their entire stock and nearly run them out of business (again)) does Beel pay mind to your newest situation (MC seems to have a lot of those).
Beel has probably the most mellow reaction of all the brothers. Thereâs nothing Beel could ever want from you other than your endless love and affection (and maybe some food, but whoâs counting?), so nothing in your relationship really changes. Of course heâs happy for you, but other than that he doesnât really care. (Heâs just hungry, man, go buy this big beautiful boi some more of those fries he was eating-)
If you ask him to help you learn to control your new abilities, he will actually be confused. a) He rarely uses his own powers, and he hardly ever needs them because he avoids drama and eats all day and b) if he were to teach you, heâd probably get hungry within the first ten minutes and stop for a snack break and youâd be back at square one.
If you persist, Beel will try to pull himself together to help you. As I said, lots of snack breaks, but Beel is very patient and if thereâs anything you donât understand, he will do his best to push past his hunger to sit down and explain it to you.
Bell pepper Belphegor
(im so sorry every time i see his name i think âbell pepperâ please forgive me-)
Belphie was asleep during the revelation, but he heard it. He didnât open his eyes, but he was aware.
For the rest of the meeting, he was no longer listening to anyone else and instead retreated to his own mind.
Could you feel your powers before Diavolo said anything? Would you have told him? Could you control it? Could you have stopped him from hurting you? Did you know how?
When Barbatos confirms that Diavolo is correct and explains the little he knows, Belphie wishes he could fall into NREM sleep so he can block everything out.
Like Beel, Belphie would also have a more mellow reaction. Aside from his guilt, he is mostly thinking about you're doing. How are you taking this? You guys can still nap together, right? Heâll still be able to visit you in your dreams and show you whatever if you want, if it's okay with you.
If you ask Belphie to help you control your powers, he will actually fly through the roof. This demon boi doesnât even have wings, but he will fly. You actually want his help? Really? Donât worry, MC, by the time heâs done with you, youâll be in better control of it than the man those powers came from.
But listen, first you two need to take an eight hour nap. You canât give it your all and stay completely focused if youâre totally wiped, can you?
Diavolo
When he figures it out, it hits him like a brick in the head and he is impatient to let his friends know of his new discovery. He blurts out, âYour power feels like my fathers!â and then immediately does that super excited, deep, and hearty laugh that he has.
Why, isnât this fantastic, MC?! Imagine the fun you could have now. Perhaps youâre even related!
Oh⌠youâre not related? There goes Barbatos again, leveling his fun⌠Nonetheless! Diavolo is through the roof and is going on and on about all the exciting ways you and he could play with your newfound powers.
Perhaps you could build a stone golem together dripping with molten ironâŚ! Or you can summon Lucifer a unicorn! Or, or - what if you changed the whole color theme of the castle to⌠purple and green?! (Lucifer and Barbatos beg you, please do not indulge the Young Lord in his childish antics)
If you so chose to âindulge the Young Lord in his childish anticsâ, expect a grouchy Lucifer and a Barbatos thin on patience until you return the castle back to its normal colors and get rid of that damn unicorn (please, itâs driving Lucifer up a wall).
If you ask Diavolo to help you learn to control your newfound power, he will be more proud than the Avatar of Pride himself (and that speaks blow horns since we all know how Lucifer can be). If anyone knows how the Demon Kingâs powers would work, it would be his son. Diavolo is honored that you chose him to mentor you.
When you two actually make progress, Diavolo is a good, thorough teacher who hits all the right marks.
However, your sessions will end much like Mammonâs would - you usually end up falling off track and giggling about something one of you saw on Devilgram. With the inconsistency in your progress, you experience lectures from both Barbatos and Lucifer, but the fun you always have with Diavolo is worth it.

ok so. all of these are in different assorted states of progress but i gotta share it to keep myself in track!! ever since i finished tgaa 1 and 2 ryunosuke and sherlock have not left my fucking brain
im putting the spoiler-y blabbing and MORE tender sketches for them under the cut
first of all.... what an amazing story the tgaa duology is! everything about it is such an improvement on an already phenomenal series, and as someone who was raised in asia and had to navigate the rest of their lives under the scrutiny of a very alienating western culture in different flavours, it hit home in so many ways - and this is without even delving into the topics of companionship, being in the closet, etc. made all much more difficult due to the loss of lgbt+ rights brought upon by colonialist ideologies
it is very easy to look at ryu and to see how so much of his narrative is tied to grappling with his own feelings for people who end up becoming the world to him - especially those who are the same gender as him
when kazuma was first introduced i was absolutely lost for him. the parallels with mia abounded but he felt more intimately connected to ryu than mia ever did to phoenix, and the way he was raised to be this untouchable, perfect, right in every way figure was so well done and beautifully built - especially when your only means of knowing kazuma is through ryus perspective
his death saddened me greatly and for the longest part (especially when there was no weird spirit medium like mechanic to get him to haunt the sword and talk to you after dfksghdfsfg) i did believe that was going to be it, and was looking forward to seeing ryu navigating this huge amount of grief he carried. but once it was revealed kazuma was still alive, and just how the story completely turned his character on his head.... it floored me in the best way possible
to me, the dismantling of the idol kazuma had turned into in ryus mind and heart, especially after his death, is one of the best parts of the whole story, and not enough focus is given to it. and for one, i am looking forward to seeing what their actual friendship, shed off all the lies and manipulation that defined it, may bloom into, now that they are finally leveled and more balanced and ryu has enough standing on his own to need to live in kazumas shadow
but that brings me to the actual best part, to me, of the whole game - the establishment of 221b as of the end of tgaa1 as ryus real and core family
i truly do not understand why ryunosuke and sherlock are not a waaaaaay more popular pairing. from the very first moment, sherlock has looked at this man and given him every tool and motivation to develop the deductive skills heâd use to unravel every single most unseemly mystery in the world, out of his own drive, curiosity, passion and volition, on his own terms. he immediately recognized his integrity, how despite being anxious and insecure he held endless potential, entrusted him with his own home, caring for his own daughter, and immediately took to have him join, as equals, on his own trade and dance, after a decade of that role being vacant. in turn, while ryu truly thinks sherlock insane and insufferable at first, he immediately surrenders to how intuitive and fun it is to dance around with the detective, and not only does he begin to get the method to the madness, he begins to truly care about him deeply - his safety, the dedication to his work, the appreciation for the amount of tools he creates that are useful even if mocked in court, the way he risks his safety for others, the heart of gold he has that supports their whole little family. their dynamic, the way they playful bicker and tease and bother one another is legit one of the most wholesome things ive had the delight to witness in a video game, and all the hours of gameplay feel like a love letter to their growing domesticity even amongst the chaos and typical ace attorney silliness. the way their dances become goofier while pulling further at this banter, the way they embrace each other into their own jobs and turmoils, the way sherlock, despite being so silly and apparently dumb, does all this background work in the shadows, risking life and limb all the time, because he knows itll give them all the necessary bits he wholeheartedly trusts ryu to use in court to unravel all manner of hurts that had been hurting them for years, to wrangle them all to shining light
sherlock tells him to never let go of the truth no matter what or who stands in the way, and at this point ryu has grown enough into himself that he does not need to be told that, and heâll bite and claw away until the bitter end, just for this shared goal of truth and catharsis, and to validate all the work and thankless sacrifice sherlock has had to deal with his whole career - for one reason or another, nobody else in sherlockâs life was ever able to put so much at risk, gunning for the astounding accusations ryu makes out in the open that couldve ended so poorly, as ryu does
even when susato and ryu realize that sherlock had lied to them about kazumas death, even when they knew he was still hiding so much from them in that regard, their trust still did not falter because they knew there had to be a good reason for it, they trusted that the truth would come out soon - that theyd soon have all the pieces to bring it all to light without anyone ever again being at risk
at the start of the game, kazuma had known ryunosuke for less than one year, and the majority of their friendship had been unbalanced admiration from a guy at his idol, who in turn, despite genuinely caring for ryu, also fed him this wholly dishonest image of himself that culminated in him getting him to stowaway on an assassination mission ryu had absolutely no clue of
on the other hand, ryu has known sherlock for almost a year now, has lived with the man knowing all his quirks and sillinesses, all his delights and good things and how well they work together, and while sherlock is a fuckigng well of secrets too, especially in all that relates to his work and irisâs safety, the gameplay shows you how theyve come to genuinely rely on each other, trust each other, mix their real lives together, learn each other for mutual benefit. and to me... that kind of connection and organic, genuine, fun chemistry and dynamic makes everything else pale in comparison, from kazuma to mikotoba, and all the others in between
they are just. fun and silly and sweet, with a lot more depth that it first seems. theyre so well balanced, absolutely equal and leveled, the great ace attorney to the great detective. and i sincerely hope game 3 shows even more of this, now that the past is past and theyre both grown into their roles fully!!!
anyway this has gotten huge. more doodles! will upload them separately as i finish

being sokkaâs s/o would include hcs?
BEING SOKKAâS S/O HEADCANNONS [GENDER NEUTRAL!READER]
being zukoâs s/o headcannons | being korraâs s/o headcannons
SUMMARY: being sokkaâs s/o from the confession to the marriage
WORD COUNT: 2.3k
WARNINGS: mild lok spoiler, fluff, kissing, do these count as warnings, yeah this is pretty pg man, blood, stab wound, sokka being sokka
A/N: im sick and dying h e l p, but also interact with me im lonely, become and elusive anon idc <3 also wow i have 500 followers??? idk why you all followed me?? but thanks?? hi??
getting into the relationship
oh godÂ
i see him with a friends to lovers thing where he either flirts with you from the moment he meets you or progressively begins to fall for you and is far to flustered to flirt because woah there why are you so beautiful
if its the former, then heâs probably gonna be âjokingâ for the most part and you know this, so you two are just playfully flirting all the time until one day he realizes that he wants this to be REAL and panicsÂ
when you flirt the first time heâs flustered, because heâs really just not used to the same level of forwardness that he has himself, but after a while Sokka is gonna get used to it and heâll just roll with it
but when he realizes he wants more? heâs gonna be flustered all over again, and heâs probably gonna flirt with you signifigantly less, which is gonna cause you to confront him, much to his dismay, because oh no heâs alone with you-
âoh! haha.. hey y/n. yeah i need to go sharpen my boomerang-â
âsokka thatâs not something you can do.â
when you confront him, heâs probably gonna be honest with you and tell you how he feels because he really cares for you and just wants you to calm down because no he does n o t hate you
âdo you hate me or something now?â
âuh.. itâs the opposite actually you see-â
if its the latter, heâs gonna go from really calm and chill around you, because of the friendly vibes and such like cracking jokes and such, to a complete and utter mess
you two are really close as friends and that isnât something he wants to mess up but heâs definitely gonna confess at some point because heâs not one to bottle his emotions up and hates how weird things are between the two of you now that heâs realized he likes you
in general i see sokka as a mess around whoever he likes, until he comes to terms with the fact that he likes them, and this likely wonât take long, heâs pretty in tune with his emotions
heâs not gonna wanna ask you out at first, in all honesty, i see sokkaâs whole confidence thing as a facade, because in actuality he has really low self esteem and genuinely sees himself as the âextraâ member of team avatar because he lacks bending and everyone around him is so talented that he sometimes forgets he is literally super smart and makes all the plans that save their lives on the daily
just things you are too good for him, especially if you are a bender
if you start hinting that you like him too, he is initially gonna think it is a joke until you start getting bold and then itâs gonna hit him like everyone hits the cabbage manâs cart
i can see either of you confessing first, if Sokka does, heâs probably gonna be really bashful and flustered about it, but heâs also gonna try and act cool because thats like his trademark
if you confess first, heâs gonna be in shock temporarily, but then heâs gonna jump right into things because you like him BACK omgomgomgomgÂ
heâs gonna wanna kiss you right after the confession, and itâll probably backfire because he got really excited and ended up headbutting you and now you have a bruise forming on your head and a very apologetic sokka oops
in general, quickly recognizes his feelings and confesses shortly after, because he just hates the weird tension even if he thinks heâs the only one feeling it, even though hes NOT
during the relationship
so
a really attentive boyfriend, you will never feel neglected, heâs a very clingy person who gets intimate with you all the time, so if you like affection you got it
kissing him is nice, heâs good at it 10/10 recommend, always wants to hold you as close as possible, prefers a hand on your hip/lowerback and another on your face or neck to pull you closer
if you donât like affection, heâll express his love in other ways
for example, cooking, i see sokka as someone who can either cook REALLY well, or not at all. there is no in between.Â
genuinely just really wants to make you happy
the type to bully you if youâre in a relationship, pls bully him back, humble this man. heâs gonna roast you but he doesnât really mean it okay, heâs just doesnât want things to change between you
loves that his best friend is his lover, would not want it any other way
probably forgets to tell the gaang you are dating and like aang and toph are gonna catch you two kissing or smth and sokkaâs just gonna be like oh hey guys and they are both like ???
"when did this happen?â
âwym lolâ
if you two are together during the war, heâs gonna wanna be by your side like 24/7 because he does not want you to die, like this lowkey stresses him so much that he will subconsciously, when developing battle plans either put you in the safest possible spot or by his side, and its because he has literally lost so many people heâs care for and now heâs distressed
remind him that he matters and is important to the team, because he forget that sometimes and falls into a mood, where heâs all sad and stuff and it just makes you sad so like
tell him he matters, because he does, tell him heâs great even if he canât bend, and tell him he is a fantastic and brilliant leader, this will serve as an ego boost though so be prepared to humble him
steal his hair ties and do all of us a favor okay, just steal them, burn them because no littering, just make sure he cannot find them! he will walk around with his hair down in confusion, searching for them before he starts the day
speaking of starting the day, you always wake up first, this man is not a morning person and needs his beauty sleep, definitely have a 17 step skin care routine, change my mind, he is big on self care and will make sure you participate with him because he cares about you
speaking of care he knows you so well since you are his s/o so if he notices something is up he will not hesitate to confront you, and will ask if you want solutions or just someone to listen to
prefers solving the problem though
back to mornings, um have fun waking up to sokka with his hair down that sounds HEAVENLY um
mild lok spoilers but sokka ends up chief, and gets involved in politics over time, so he kinda runs out of time for you a bit until he figures out how to organize his time better, then he gets kinda sad, but he still wants to take you out on dates as often as possible ok no more spoilers
so speaking of dates, sokka wants weekly dates, this is a must, does not care if it is a fancy restaurant, cooking at home, or a picnic. he loves picnics most though, and please notice how food is the common factor here
sokka would never cheat on you but if he did he would cheat with food
arguments arenât rare, but they are mostly over dumb stuff and you both know its dumb stuff so for the most part its a joke, but sometimes someone takes things too far so then apologies are necessary
like actual argument arguments are mostly rare because sokka doesnât wanna pick fights with you and heâs fairly passive unless he feels really strongly about something
he can be REALLY MEAN THOUGH AND PETTY like wow sokka will go days without talking to you because of a fight
he can and will apologize first when he realizes the toll its taking on your relationship, probably will apologize first
if you catch him being a misogynist put him in his place :)
 he thinks you are hot when you are angry and might pick a fight with you just for that reason, pls make out with him
marriage nâ stuff
im still waiting for someone to explain what weddings are like guys please
anyways heâs gonna realize he wants to marry you when he nearly dies and is like wow life is really short also lets discuss him losing all the important people heâs loved in his life one more time, he does not want to lose you!!!
ever!!!
so heâs gonna nearly die and then be like i need to propose, like now, i cannot die without being married to the literal love of my life so i should do that literally the moment i get home instead of getting medical attention first
yeah he is the smart one, but he lacks common sense, so i hope you got a LOT of common sense. yâall do be sharing a braincell
stops by a ring shop place, and the moment he just feels like he saw the one, price does NOT matter he has purchased it and is now heading home to you
you on the other hand are PANICKING because what do you mean sokka just ran out of the hospital with no explanation and is nowhere to be found katara
what do you mean you thought he would be h e r e
yes katara went over to your house to see if sokka was there and he is not!!!
yet ;)
there is like a manhunt for sokka and he has yet to notice because mans has tunnel vision and as he opens the door to your shared apartment he does not expect to see a crying katara and oh no-
âSOKKA! YOUâRE NOT DEAD?!â
hes like of course im not dead what the hell
youâre seated standing next to Katara trying to console her when you see sokka and wow you are relieved to see he is not dead or kidnapped
âSOKKA DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW WORRIED I WAS-â
lol heâs kissing you to shut you up how cute, now leave katara you are infringing on an extremely pivotal moment of this relationship
honestly seeing you comforting his sister just makes him love you more and he kinda just wants to marry you 10x more nowÂ
you pull away from the kiss looking at him like what are you doing, and katara is like, âSokka where the hell were you??? you have a stab wound???â and now youâre like WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH
âstabbed? sokka you need medical attention-â
âto answer your question dear sister, i was getting a ring for your hopefully soon to be sister in law.â
âEXCUSE ME?â you are so confused, katara is confused and is now realizing that she was probably not supposed to be here
sokka is already dropping down onto one knee and pulling out the just bought ring as saying, âmarry me!â now heâs high on adrenaline and pain has yet to hit him and heâs kinda just sitting there beaming up at you despite the blood seeping out of him at a rapid rate
âim sorry what?â thats katara girl be quiet they are trying to have a MOMENT
anyways youâre like, âsokka. hospital.â
and heâs like, âanswer me firstâ and heâs giving you a weak lil smile as he realizes how stupid he was and heâs about to stand back up but you put a hand on his shoulder and just nod.
now heâs back to beaming so brightly, and heâs putting the ring on your finger and oh no- heâs passed out. is it from excitement or bloodloss? idk
he also might pass out before hearing you answer and then at the hospital youâre kinda sitting there like, âARE YOU DUMB STUPID OR DUMB. YOU COULD HAVE DIED.â
and heâs like, ânot without hearing your answerâ <3<3 heart eyes emojis everywhere
alternatively, he is one of few people i could see having a public proposal, with lots of flowers, a band, fireworks, the whole nine yards
heâs gonna want it flashy
something probably goes wrong and he nearly cries but you say yes anyways and he throws a party after
anyways the actual wedding is preferably public, but if you want a more private one then he does what you want because he loves you most
he is gonna be very active in wedding planning, wants to try the foods and desserts and appetizers and everything especially. wants to do the weird stuff like picking napkins with you and flower arrangements and all that stuff i think this happens idk someone please inform me
this stuff just makes him fall in love with you more tbh, and heâs just so so sure he wants to marry youÂ
his vows will make HIM cry, like he is going to cry when he sees you walk down the aisle, heâs going to cry when he reads his own vows, and heâs going to cry when you read your vows, it doesnât matter if they are lowkey bad
makes jokes in his vows because he is a nerd but can barely reach the punchline because he is in tears
fr though he is just so happy to be marrying you and wow you look REALLY GOOD in whatever you are wearing um damn okay you really went off
married life with sokka is elite ngl, mans cooks for you, he probably cleans sometimes, but otherwise chores are fairly dividedÂ
he spoils you
overall sokka is a real great s/o and he gives you everything you deserve and yeah marry sokka 2020 everyone deserves a sokkaÂ

RANKING HAISUTE (or the ones iâve seen so far)
not that anyone has asked me, but iâve literally been so hyperfixated on these shows for MONTHS and although iâve gotten my bestie into them now, itâs not like i can bombard them with all these deep-ish dives into these things and how much and why i love them, so i thought HEY why not just put it out into the ether coz DAMN i really wanna talk about them.
under the cut for length (HELLA LENGTH) and spoilers.
let me preface this first by saying i havent seen ALL the shows yet. i havent ever watched the first run of Itadaki No Keshiki, and i havent seen any of the new Karasuno cast shows yet, as by the time i had gotten hooked on these shows, the time to watch Strongest Challengers and Battle At The Garbage Dump on DMM.com had passed, and with my limited budget (i havent been able to work properly since literally mid-July last year), itâll be a while before i can afford their twin pack DVD when it comes out next month. ALTHOUGH i am hoping to be able to download Fly High on DMM.com before the availability runs out in the middle of March, if iâll actually have enough money for that.
additionally, i rank these from my least favorite to most favorite, but that does not mean that i hate or dislike any of them. in fact, i have little to zero negative things to say about any of these shows. i just happen to love some more than the others, and i think youâll be able to tell by how long i go on about each show. iâll TRY to keep things concise but im telling you now, iâve already tried this once until an accidental button press erased everything i had written, and this will not be short. at all.
iâll start first with the things i love about Haisute in general:
quite obviously, the projections. before i finally saw Haisute this year, i had only ever seen BNHA, KNY and Kuroshitsuji musicals, and while they have awesome set pieces, i had never seen video projections utilized the way Haisute does, and i think itâs so wonderful and creative, and so technically sound on everyoneâs part. like, it has to be so precise with cast performance and blocking and sound and lights...like. dudes. shout-out to the tech staff of Haisute, yâall are amazing.
the acting performances in general. i dont think thereâs a bad actor at all in any of these. some stiff-ish performances (Noah Ishikura as Lev, but mostly in SoE, which was his first time acting ever, so understandable), maybe, but even those actors do great when theyâre having a pivotal moment, scene or dialogue. itâs hard to pick faves but somehow i do have them, lol - Kenta Suga as Hinata (obviously), Kentaro as Daichi, Hiroki Ino as Suga, Kousuke Asuma as Oikawa, literally ALL THREE BOKUTOS, literally BOTH AKAASHIS, Ami Saito as Yachi, Tatsunari Kimura as Kageyama, and my top two faves, Shori Kondo and Takato Nagata as KuroKen. for obvious reasons (see: my numerous gifsets that i still have so much to add to alkdjf).
the music is WONDERFUL. the varieties across shows, teams and characters while still maintaining the main themes are just so good. itâs easier for them to be highlighted to since there isnt any singing, and so many moments are told through the music rather than the music accompanying the moment imo.
the choreography is gold af. im sad we lose HIDALI after Tokyo Battle, but im sure the rest of the shows still keep that amazing spark. but i juST. HIDALIâs choreography is iconic. iâll talk abt it a bit more in some of the entries in the list.
OKAY, now on to the rankings.
7. View from the Top (2nd Run) so again, I DONT HATE ANY OF THESE SHOWS. the reason this is at the bottom of my list is mostly because of what it doesnt have through no fault of its own, rather than anything that it does. i personally love watching character growth and evolution, so for the most part, the first story in anything that has multiple follow-ups tend to be my least favorite part, and i come to enjoy them more as a âlook how far weâve comeâ thing. that being said, i do think this was such an awesome show to kick-off what has become an iconic 2.5D franchise. so much of it feels like the transition from potential to kinetic energy. a little show that could, and then did. i do think i enjoy this more with a nostalgic sort of fondness than i do with a âlook how cool this thing is!â feeling, but again, thatâs coz i enjoy watching things changing rather than at the start. what definitely stands out to me here is that i came to it this as only my fourth 2.5D franchise, and the ones iâd watched before this were so different in staging and execution, and that really had me hooked. also, this franchise honestly is one of the best casting in any show iâve ever seen in my life, like wtf, i havent seen a badly cast actor at all, even for the side characters i dont really pay that much attention to otherwise. you cant help but be sucked into the bright light that is Kenta Suga, and Kousuke Asuma has to be the most Oikawa Oikawa to ever Oikawa anything Oikawa. Tatsunari, Ryotaro and Justin absolutely jumped right out of the manga and anime and onto the stage as Kags, Tsukki and Asahi. and GAWD do i love me some Kentaro and Hiroki as DaiSuga. i went in a big fan and simp of Hiroki Ino and Sugawara, so for the first couple of watches, i was heavily focused on Ino!Suga, but by the third rewatch, Ken-chan came around a corner and smacked me in the face with a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. when that man smiles, i just get murdered.
6. Start of the Giant i honestly had a hard time picking between this and InK for the bottom spot, not because i hate this (AGAIN, I DONT HATE ANY OF THESE SHOWS), but because of how this show feels to me. ultimately, i picked this one to win over InK because of how much character progression is shown between these two shows. stating the obvious, KAZUMA KAWAHARA. HOO BOY. and big, BIG shout-outs to Kouhei Shiota for portraying Tanakaâs emotional roller-coaster so excellently to stride alongside Ennoshitaâs big journey and Kazumaâs powerhouse performance. i also wanna spotlight how much more comfortable Tatsuya Kageyama was in his second go-around as Kags, and how well Keita Tanaka and Naoki Tanaka came in as new(old)!Daichi and new!Suga. it took me a while to get to this show because i was so sad to lose Ken-chan and Hiroki after SoE, and i thought i just would not be able to love DaiSuga the same way. turns out that thatâs a good thing, because they do play similar but different DaiSugas to Kentaro and Hiroki. it possibly also helped to know that KT wasnât entirely new, and to have known of Naoki from BNHA (with Hiroki!), although i hadnt known it was him until i started the show up at last, lol. Kentaro got to play a captain who was warm and very much one of the boys, someone who was growing into the role of a captain of a team that had a very real chance of going farther than it had in a while, while KT got to play a Daichi who, fittingly, was more established as a pillar of the group (and im sure the storytelling of this show helped with that), more of that Dadchi that we know and love. Hiroki got to play a gentle but mischeivous Suga who was all about watching over and taking care of the team, watching and waiting for his turn while understanding that Kags was their best chance, while Naoki got to play a more active, more athletic Suga who was becoming more active the closer the team got to Nationals. their performances stood out not just coz they were new, but because of the theme of this story in particular, about captains and leading, so i thought it was quite a nice way to welcome them into the fold. i also of course enjoyed Johzenji and Wakunan, maybe Johzenji more than Wakunan. i saw someone say theyâre a bit like Fukurodani and Nekoma lite, and i can totally see and agree with that. this show also feels a bit like Revival lite, in that itâs got a fun first half and then a more action-packed second match with an emotional gutpunch at the end. but ultimately, this is lower on my list because, through no major fault of its own, it felt like a filler show, considering what was coming after this. it felt a bit like âletsâ get on with this story so we can get on to the last hurrah that everyone is looking forward to.â of all the side teams to have been portrayed in the Engeki story, i feel like i remember johzenji and wakunan less. again, thatâs not really anyoneâs fault, itâs just where this show was positioned in the timeline and what it was ultimately representing. as a parting thought tho, i just wanna shout-out the new lighting scheme they did for this show, especially coming from SoE where there was a lot of darkness or back-lighting. this show is brighter lit in general than most of the shows that came before it, and idky exactly but i do appreciate that a lot.
5. Winners And Losers objectively, this is probably one of the top 3 shows in all of Haisuteâs history. but itâs lower on my list because it is the most taxing to watch and rewatch, not because itâs too slow or anything like that, but because it really just is such a tiring story, and i think thatâs deliberate on the part of the writers and directors. this was Karasunoâs first major loss, and it was against an opponent they thought they knew, so of course the lead-up had to be a big deal. itâs also a story that revolves quite a bit around kageyama reaching a turning point and learning a few lessons that would ultimately change him, so the story had to also execute that change happening not just in Kageyama but around him. add to that the fact that this was Tatsunariâs goodbye performance (as well as Shoheiâs as Noya, but then he doesnât really get a big emotional moment here) and itâs just heavy on the emotions all around. the comedic distraction of ShoriTaka as Tetsuko and Kenko was honestly quite welcome, lmao. quick little shout-out to Kousuke Asuma and Allen Kohatsu as IwaOi, since they got to really show off the different sides to both those characters in this, and they just are stellar in general. that bit at the end of one of their flashbacks where Iwa-chan tells Oikawa that heâs not the only one fighting, thereâs six people in that team, and Oikawa breaks into laughter as Kousuke strips off the flashback jacket, and Iwaâs like âuuuhhh did i hit you too hard, or?â UGH, i love that bit, that almost creepy laugh from Kousuke and the way he comes out of it to say âsuddenly im not so upsetâ is just SO good. im also so happy to see Hiroki get his due as Suga when he finally gets to step up to the plate - or net, as it were - and basically pinch-hit for Kags. he plays senpai!Suga so sweetly, like you really canât help but love him coz heâs so caring. i also did not expect to be hit right in the feels with the switch back from him to Kageyama, but that bit where he says âitâs frustrating, but hinataâs expression when heâs hitting my sets is different from when itâs yoursâ really got me. and then when he had to leave the court, asahi and daichi send a fist bump his way, and he gives just this tiny fist bump wave thatâs both tired and disappointed and sad, and itâs juST! it hurts me everytime. and before this gets long, im gonna just spotlight the last 10-15 minutes of the show, right after Karasuno loses. Kenta absolutely nails Hinataâs expression in the manga, that wide-eyed disbelief and shock. and then when Daichi tells him not to apologize because he didnât miss, when Daichi just walks over and hugs him, good gawd. (sidebar, but iâm so glad i got to see that bit with both Ken-chan here and KT in Strongest Team.) and the way Hinata couldnât move after thanking the audience, not even after Ukai called him back, so Daichi had to actually go get him? my heart was in PIECES. and then the fuggin dinner scene. LORD ABOVE. like, if you dont love Kenta Suga as Hinata, this is the scene that should convince you youâre wrong.
4. The Strongest Team this is right smack dab in the middle of the list because itâs probably the best staged show of all the seven that iâve seen, but it also hurts me so much for all the obvious reasons. this is the one iâve rewatched the least, and everytime i rewatch it, i cry as if itâs the first time im watching it. the whole show absolutely feels like a tribute to the Karasuno cast and all the growth theyâve had and contributed to Haisute over their three years with the show, and the entire thing feels so fond, if that makes any sense. everyone on the team gets a big emotional moment, and itâs so sweet to see them each paid tribute. aside from them, i gotta AGAIN shout-out kousuke as oikawa. i like aoba josai enough, i like oikawa enough as a character, but that moment when kousuke absolutely broke down in the locker room after losing to karasuno broke my heart, even more so knowing that he absolutely felt all that gratitude because he wasnt sure heâd be able to come back to the show coz of his hip injury. i think one little moment that doesnt get as talked about as it should is just after he and Iwaizumi have that short convo of always being each otherâs partners even after theyâve moved on to different schools. they do their fist bump, and then Iwa walks away, but Kousuke/Oikawa is still absolutely in tears, and as Iwa walks off, he just kind of reaches out and lets out a pained âIwa-chan!â thatâs just barely audible, and that jUST. GETS ME EVERYTIME. hell, im feeling a little heartstring pull right now just thinking about it. i also wanna shout-out Shiratorizawa because Engeki made me actually care about them. like, okay - i dont hate Shiratorizawa, at all. but watching the anime, despite having an entire season be around them, i just never really latched onto them. i like Ushiwaka enough, and i just...dont like Tendou (sue me). but Engeki Haikyuu has a habit of spotlighting other teams and characters enough to make you actually think about them and care about them, and Shiratorizawa was the biggest example of that for me. their theme is awesome, itâs this big, deep, heavy thing that feels as big and broad as the players look. and i could feel their almost militaristic teamwork when the coach is on them, and itâs so good. speaking of Coach Washijo, shout-out to that flashback scene to his younger days. Kenta looked absolutely risible in the wig and giant eyebrows, but i think it was an important touch to have the person playing Hinata be the person playing younger Washijo, because their inner conflicts are basically the same, and Washijo comes to appreciate Hinataâs efforts because of it, so i thought that was a nice touch. (still dont like Tendou tho, sue me.) i gotta end this entry coz itâs getting long, so im just gonna quickly list my favorite scenes/moments:
Yamaguchiâs pinch serve, and bringing out the spear. Kairi Miura wields that spear like heâs been doing it all his life.
Tsukkiâs big âGODDAMMIT I THINK I LOVE VOLLEYBALL NOWâ moment. the expression on ryotaroâs face right at the end of that scene, where heâs basically saying âitâs just a club, AND YET!â uuuggggghhhh, please i love it. also, shout-out to when Hinata pointed at him and just said â...nice.â like...that always feels like only half Hinata and Tsukki, and more half-Kenta and his best friend Ryotaro, just like the âTsukki! that one was worth a 100 points!â line that absolutely gets Ryotaro so that on the live cam he had to turn his head away before he meant to for the next bit.
that moment in the last-ish set of the match where everyone is just DESPERATE to win, so it becomes this frantic rally and volley where everyone just starts to grunt and yell louder and louder, and people are running back and forth and jumping and diving, and itâs just this cacophony of sound and blur of movement that just seems to stretch on and on, until finally Shiratorizawa just yells âSHUT UP! WEâRE STRONGER!â and knocks all of Karasuno down. WHEW. that bit is just. WHEW. i almost always forget to breathe at that point. and then the waterworks get turned on as Ukai tearfully tells them to get back up, because volleyball is a sport where you HAVE to look up. LORDDDDD.
the bit towards the end of the match, after tsukki returns from his injury, where they absolutely acted out Ushiwaka pushing Hinata and Tsukki to the floor and holding their heads down. when i first watched it, i gasped because that is straight out of the anime and manga, and then when the rest of Karasuno came in to pull Ushi off, i just turned into a giant sobbing mess.
the graduation curtain call, obviously, but in particular, the bit that will ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, destroy me is when Kenta says âthis show was so tiring and tough sometimes, but when i look back, all i can remember are the good times, the best times.â GODDAMMIT IM TEARING UP BADLY RN JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT BIT.
3. Summer Of Evolution this is where the lines between the rankings get a little bit blurred, because i love these top three equally for the most part, but i had to choose a number two (i absolutely know what my number one is), and when i really think about it, SoE just gets edged out by my number two, but barely. i think what i love the most about this show is that this, more than any of the other shows, really portrays these characters as high school kids. and thatâs not just because part of the story is set in the school and itâs actually showing the school sometimes, but coz theyâre going through and portraying teenage experiences and emotions. most of the other shows portray the team in matches, so weâre seeing them more as volleyball players than teenagers or students, but we get to finally see that here, and itâs really refreshing. other than that, im gonna try to just list some of my highlights and favorites again coz i dont wanna keep going too long:
im so glad to finally have girls on the show, and not just in a âYAY FEMINISM! GIRL POWER! WHOO!â kind of way. kiyoko has always felt like an inextricable part of the team for me, so it was bittersweet to have such a great Karasuno cast but without a Kiyoko, so i was REALLY happy to finally get her here! and for a first time actor ever, Shizune was so awesome! she absolutely has that gentle strength that Kiyoko has, and the way sheâs been written in absolutely does feel like sheâs always been there. i do wish she got more to do with the third year boys, but all in all, itâs SO good to have an actual Kiyoko who absolutely looks like she came out of the manga.
im also just so DAMN happy about Yachi and her portrayal here. i think ami saito is so dang perfect, and yachi is such a fun addition that fits right in with the chaotic fun of Karasuno. one thing that i REALLY love, though, is how she gets to just act. before Haisute, my only experience of female characters and actors on a 2.5D stage is with Uraraka (and two or three other female students) in BNHA and Elizabeth in Kuroshitsuji, and those characters are your typical cutesy girls, and their movements and body language are so typically girly, you know what i mean, those softer arms and smaller movements, looser fingers, these little âKyaa~â things, those things. but Kiyoko, Yachi and Saeko arent like that, so thatâs not how theyâre portrayed here. Ami as Yachi is just as loud and expressive and active as the Karasuno boys, bar actually playing in a match. also, her chemistry with Kenta is SO GOOD. i dont really ship YachiHina, i think theyâre cute friends, but BOY DID THESE TWO MAKE ME RETHINK THAT. amiâs Yachi with Kentaâs Hinata made me think âYOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE TWO GO ON A CHAPERONED DATE.â theyâre adorable. a particular fave of mine is when hinata climbs a tree to help a baby bird back into its nest and he asks Yachi if she wants to climb up too, and also after Yachi finishes making the Hinata poster, she jumps onto the back of Hinataâs bike and they ride off-stage together. PLEASE ITâS SO CUTE.
also: SAEKO NEE-SAN PLEASE STEP ON ME.
OH HI FUKURODANI. they are such good chaos boys, i love them. i dont have much to say about them here just yet, but WOW im so glad to have them onstage at last. Â
NEKOMA IS BACK THANK GAWD I LOVE NEKOMA. of all the teams portrayed, i think nekoma is the one that feels the most connected together (AHA!). like, even when they have a new character and/or cast member, the new ones never really stand out as new, they feel like theyâve always been there. this play really showcases the teams at their most casual so we dont get to see as much of their excellent teamwork and connection as we do in past and future shows, but you really get a sense of their family dynamic and just GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, and honestly dont get me started on ShoriTaka, i will literally never stop
shout-out to Tatsuya Kageyama, he had big shoes to fill not just in terms of character but also as an actor, since this is his first show ever. much like with KT and Naoki as DaiSuga, it does feel like he plays a similar enough Kageyama without just mimicing Tacchu. this is also the right Kags arc to introduce a new Kageyama actor with as well, since thereâs a big change after that loss to Aoba Josai and Oikawa, so i think the writing of the show also absolutely helped Kage-chan ease into his role, and helped the audience ease into this new Kageyama. overall, i think he did an awesome job, and weâre really fortunate to have had two awesome Kageyamas before gen 1/1.5 changed to gen 2.
i also just noticed/realized that the backstage video for SoE starts with the introduction of Kage-chan and Fucchi as new cast members, and ends with the farewell to Ken-chan and Hiroki as graduating members, and i know thatâs just natural coz the first time the Karasuno cast met the two new members was at the photoshoot for visuals, but also what a nice little circle of life there.
COMING INTO THE HOMESTRETCH NOW, if youâve made it this far, thank you SO MUCH, im sorry, i really just have a tendency to ramble, and like i said, i dont really have anyone or an opportunity to talk this deep about these shows to, so thanks so much for your time.
2. Karasuno, Revival! WHEW okay, so idk if this is Unpopular Opinion or controversial coz objectively it is the best show so far, and iâve put it only at number 2. BUT LISTEN: before i saw Tokyo Battle, this was absolutely my number 1 favorite. the Dateko match is so good and so fun to watch, and honestly, that rap battle gives me so much life im almost immortal now. i LOVE that they also got to show ikejiri (THANK YOU KENTA SUGA) and ken-chan as daichi got his moments because of it, and it gave us âkatou tou shinakya, katenai!â as an iconic quote and theme for the show, we got a fantastic moment for Asahi that was paid off from the previous show, also honestly âotchita kyougo, tobenai garasuâ is just gonna be stuck in your head forever for a while. we also got Kousuke and Allenâs excellent IwaOi back, bringing with them their âIwa-chan, are you my momâ dynamic (and gawd the cackle i let out when Iwa yeets a volleyball at Oikawa, or that turn and yell that makes Oikawa yelp as he exits off stage lkasdjf), which is always a plus. but! BUT!! best thING FOR ME???? NEKOMA, BABY!! like im sorry, im biased, but i fuggin LOVE nekoma, kuroo is my favorite character in the entire series, and Haisute really gave them a fantastic story and dynamic, because again, thereâs so much you can do on stage that you sometimes cant do in anime or manga, so they were really able to highlight Nekomaâs famous teamwork, especially when centered around Kenma. more on that later, but like. it was just such a JOY to watch Karasuno, still kind of scattered puzzle pieces at this point trying to figure out how to best go together to create one big picture, go up against the smooth teamwork of Nekoma, and learn and grow from it. also they honestly have the best team theme music and team dance, fite me. also thank you Haisute for making KuroDai so painfully real lakdsfj
1. Tokyo Battle okay okaY OKAY OKAY OKAY. i think there are some people who actually like this the least coz itâs just too different from the rest of the shows that came before it - no Karasuno, less projections, different music style, aesthetically different stage, etc. B U T. aside from me just being biased because Nekoma are my favorite team, i actually think many of those differences are what makes this show my favorite one. first of all, the music is LIT AF. the themes for each team are so distinct, they really help play up the animal motifs that are played up the most in this show than in any of the others. secondly, THAT CHOREOGRAPHY THO. good gawd. HIDALI said âitâs our last Haisute, letâs go out with a bangâ and they really fuggin did. Fukurodani absolutely is TOKYO PARTY TIME, they got to really play up their party birds schtick and i love it. Nohebi i cannot HELP but love because i love snakes, but also, with Nohebiâs cast, you can tell the choreographers were so happy to finally have an actual technical dancer. they had yuu fukuzawa doing the most and then some in playing up the snake theme, and itâs literally so hypnotic to watch his pops, locks and isolations. heâs also just such an AWESOME daisho, and it helps that nohebi are written to be cunning and sneaky. i also love that he and Kuroo seem to actually have a lot of untold history, and i kind of wish we could get a bit more elaboration on that, coz Yuuâs and Shoriâs chemistry as frenemy team captains is SO GOOD. and then of course. NEKOMA, BABY!! so okay. kenma absolutely should be the lead of this show, and he is, BUT heâs also, to a certain extent, inextricable from Kuroo and the rest of the team, so that you dont always get that feeling of Kenma being in the spotlight the same way Hinata is (for understandable reasons since Nekoma arent even really the main characters of the story as a whole), and i think thatâs important because, again, Nekoma is all about that teamwork and connection. like, Kenma is the lead because he thinks for Nekoma, and Nekoma acts accordingly, instead of how it is usually where the story is showing Hinataâs perspective alone. it also feels like that in terms of the actors. like, technically Takato is zachou, and he is, but also several times in the curtain call speeches, the cast members refer to or mention both Takato and Shori together. even Takato says that when he had spoken to Kenta about how nervous he was about taking up the zachou mantle from him, Kenta had said âif itâs you and shori, youâll be fine.â they are a unit, and it really comes across in their portrayals of Kuroo and Kenma as well, and even if you love nothing else about this show, you literally cannot help but love that about them. i think the show does a great job revolving the Nekoma team dynamic around that too without making it the ONLY thing that keeps Nekoma together. the star of the show is absolutely the theme of âconnectionâ (more than the other theme of promises), and if youâve seen the show and you dont cry at the âTsunageâ section as Nekoma wins the match against Nohebi, then are you really watching the show lmao.
OKAY OKAY IâVE REALLY RAMBLED ON, and if you made it all the way here, THANK YOU AND IM SORRY. but also, thereâs still a lot of things i wanna talk about that i didnt talk about here coz im mostly a scatterbrain and live half my life radiating BDE - Bokuto Dumbass Energy. so if youâre also ridiculously obsessed with these shows and wanna talk about it, my inbox is open. someone come hyperfixate with me while i make SO MANY MORE GIFSETS OHMYGOD ALL THE GIFSETS geezas crust when i get to Tokyo Battle i will be insufferable.

(n).
A person who fakes a smile
When you learned of the strange girl named Mai who saved Lord Nobunaga, you never would have imagined that she would become the Oda Princess. In fact, you assumed, like everyone else, that she would have no business staying at the palace and promptly be shipped off to wherever she came from. Instead, the warlords seemed to praise the ground she walked on. Nobunaga had a fun time showing her off to possible suitors, while the other paraded her around the troops to increase moral.
     It wasnât that she was a bad person, in fact, she was always kind â especially considering her sudden increase in status. Despite her high ranking, she chose to work with the palace seamstresses to pursue her passion. She had a strange style, but it just boosted her popularity.
     Furthermore, you expected her to fall in love with Nobunaga as she had saved him. Instead, she seemed to sweep Ieyasu from under your fingertips.
     âLord Ieyasu?â you inquired with a soft voice. He was tending to his work, testing out combinations of herbal concoctions before recording them in the large, leather-bound journal.
     After finishing his sentence, he set down the brush and looked up at you.
     You lost your words for a moment, but then came back to your senses. âLord Nobunaga requested that I inform you about the war council meeting. He has changed the times forwa-â
     âThat damned man,â Ieyasu scowled, slamming his book shut. âCanât he leave me alone for a day?â
     A giggle escaped from your lips at his reaction, causing him to shoot you a dark glare.
     âApologies,â you whispered, bowing your head. You backpedaled until you reached the doorway.
     Before you exited, Ieyasu called for you, waving his hand to coax you closer. âYouâve changed something about yourself,â he commented without lifting his head as he closed the ink bottle.
     A warm flushed your cheeks and you nodded before realize he could not see you. âUh.. Mai has been testing out some new patterns for her work, and insisted that I wear the latest style to test it.â This was the truth, but you hated admitting it to Ieyasu, in fear that he would compliment her work rather than you.
     However, you do not expect the words that follow:      âThe color suits you.â
     A compliment.
     Brief and stale, like old bread, but a compliment nonetheless.
     Your heart lurched in your chest, so your hand flew upwards as to keep it from flying forward. âT-Thank you, my lord.â Bowing at the waist slightly, you take your leave before he in fact looked up to see your flustered face.
This victory was short lived.
     Two days later, you heard Ieyasu in passing.
     The color suits you, he remarked.
     You stopped dead in your tracks and immediately began to fuss over your appearance â you had been helping the cooks (who were short staffed) and had unfortunately broken a sweat. Hairs fell loose from your bun to curl over your forehead, so you brushed your fingers through them in an attempt to hide the evidence of labor.
     However, upon turning your head slightly, you watched as Ieyasu tuck a strand of Maiâs hair behind her ear. You repeated the motion like the lovestruck monkey you were, imagining that Ieyasu was standing in front of you. He leaned forward and his lips brushed against Maiâs in a brief, but powerful movement.
     The basket fell from your hands, and you successfully broke the kiss before it could deepen.
     Ieyasu and Mai looked at you as you scrambled to your knees to collect the objects.
     As he stood up to approach you, you bowed, praying that he would not see your tears, whispered an apology, and ran in the other direction.
After that incident, you requested that you change positions within the castle. When Hideyoshi inquired why you would want to move, you simply told him that you were unfit to work under Ieyasu. He wore a pained expression because he could sense the underlying issues, but he did not press and simply approved you to work under him instead.
     Life progressed relatively normal, but the nagging feeling continued to gnaw at your insides. Occasionally, Hideyoshi would ask you to deliver messages between the warlords, but he did not ask you to take anything directly to Ieyasu.
     So when you turned the corner and nearly ran into Ieyasu, you were at a loss for words. A string of incoherent sounds fell from your trembling lips, but he waved his hand, brushing it â and you â off. Swallowing hard, you continued on your way, but at a faster pace than before.
     You were nearly on the other side of the patio when he called out.
     Not directly at you, but since you were the only person around, you stop and wait for his orders.
     âWhy did you leave?â
     Iâm surprised you noticed.
     You could feel him standing behind you. âI failed to complete my duties, Lord Ieyasu. And therefore I was unfit to work.â
     He does not reply immediately, likely pondering at a proper response.
     âShame.â
     Indeed.
When war broke out, things were different.
     Mai went to the front lines to help in the small ways she could, but you had to remain in the castle with the rest of the frightened cattle. There was no way to confirm Ieyasuâs safety, so you waited patiently with everyone else.
     Thankfully, the Oda forces returned in one piece and with a triumph over the rebelling groups. In more jarring news, Ieyasu returned engaged.
     According to whispers from other maids, Mai had rescued him on the battlefield before confessing her love. Upon claiming their victory, Ieyasu proposed to her.
     Crushed by the announcement, you tried to find a way to leave the castle, but Ieyasu specifically requested you to measure him for his formal gowns. You found it painfully ironic, but agreed as to not disappoint him.
     You brushed your fingers under his arm, and he lifted it as to allow you to measure his arm length. The silence was nearly unbearable until he cleared his throat.
     âHideyoshi⌠mentioned something to me.â
     You nearly poked him with one of the needles used to pin the fabric back.
     âAbout why you left.â
     You grit your teeth, but tried to keep your composure.
     âPerhaps in another life-â
     âLord Ieyasu.â
     He stopped.
     âI have moved on from then, my lord,â you give him a bright smile. âAnd you have a wedding to prepare for. Do not preoccupy yourself with my issues.â
     Ieyasu scoffed. âWhat a fake smile.â
     The muscles in your face relaxed, surprised by his words.
     âAs I said, perhaps in another life, it would have been a reality.â

Crimes of Grindelwald info dump
CAREFUL : SPOILERS ! Thereâs no structure to this Iâm sorryÂ
the humor is still very present. from newtâs awkward flirting skills to Jacobâs tell-tale high-pitched screams, itâs all here and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
seeing Hogwarts again was a great plus as well. Dumbledore as a teacher is a great thing.
Speaking of which Jude Law makes a perfect young Dumbledore. His performance is great, and I wish heâd had more screentime. Iâm looking forward to seeing his role grow in further movies.
Credence is GROWING and thatâs GREAT even if he MAKES MISTAKES
the baby nifflers - and as a matter of fact, all creatures - are delightful. the CGI is very well-done, and the creativity behind each of them is palatable. I love those guys so much.
Newt and Tina are actually adorable as fuck
Dan Fogler is great. Scratch that, he steals the show. Heâs brilliant.
The cinematography, costumes, etc - all that is great as well. itâs believable.
in terms of acting⌠none of the actors get much screentime. Queenie & Jacob do get some emotional scenes. Credence is very busy making angry murder faces at the camera. I liked Tina as well, but again - not enough screentime.
thereâs a lot of new characters being introduced, some who get no more than perhaps ten minutes of screentime as a whole (looking at you Nagini.) We get this whole building plot about Credence being Letaâs long-lost brother, thought dead, only to have it crumble in the last minutes - the same as it was with Credenceâs sister Modesty in the first movie who we thought was the Obscurus. Now that worked actually well in FB1 but here it feels⌠kind of anticlimactic? Leaving you to wonder the whys and the hows because nothing led up to it.
Iâd like to know how Credence came to know Nagini and how he found himself working in a circus, as well as how he survived. How?!
Nagini and Credence seem to be close friends, nothing more. Which is good - he could use some good friends, especially given the direction heâs taking. Just wish Nagini had more screentime to really show up the mechanics of their relationship and how close they are, because it really isnât clear. Weâre just supposed to take at face value that they know each other and thatâs it.
How did Credence even find his adoption papers? Isnât he being wanted by every government in the world? How does his status work?
Theyâre literally sending assassins after him because heâs supposedly Grindelwaldâs greatest weapon, which like⌠chill a bit guys maybe. Rethink this through???
Oh, Grindelwald. Grindelwald is grooming Credence like hell, calling him âmy boyâ again and again and hugging him and touching him and making promises and Credence is falling for it hook, line and sinker. Someone help him holy shit.
One of the characters that actually does make sense is actually Abernathy. His role is minimal but he does help Grindelwald escape and seems to be given tasks of importance - which seems to be a great deal for a man who, like him, appeared to be no one before. Itâs easy to see how he could have been seduced to Grindelwaldâs side.
We donât know much about Rosier yet. Sheâs just here. Looking pretty and threatening and hinting at her âclose relationshipâ with Grindelwald, whatever that means (I donât want to think about it.) She seems to be his second-in-command.
I liked the fact that at the end Grindelwald and Queenie are like bros. Bitch bros. Thatâs wonderful and terrifying.
I didnât say it enough, but the grooming
There were so many times. So many times where they could have mentioned Percival Graves and what happened to him in passing but not only once. NoT OnLy oNcE
but thatâs a whole other headache SO. moving on
Hmmm Leta. What to say about Leta? Sheâs great. She seems like a good person, and ZoĂŠ did a great job portraying her. Sheâs the one who gets the most emotional scenes, next to Jacob and Queenie. Thereâs a whole family drama unfolding here (which oooh boi is it complicated) and itâs kind of easy to see how she became the woman she is?
She and Theseus seem to love each other very much. Iâm wishing they had had more screentime, the two of them.
Nicolas Flamel is here for comic value.
I loved the relationship between Theseus and Newt. Thereâs some real brotherly love and character growth in there, and it felt good to see it depicted well.
Iâm wondering how powerful that assassin sent by the british minister needed to be to resist the full-blown assault of a grown obscurus. even Grindelwald had trouble doing that. whereâs the logic ???
also how did they obliviate the entire city of Paris following that little trick with the dark cloaks inviting people to Grindelwaldâs little rendez-vous? Unless it was visible only to wizards, but since they show us an old intrigued man looking out the window I donât think it was the case. So?
Same thing with the blue fires and red fires in the cemetery - howâre they gonna explain that to the muggle police and fire brigade should they come running?
Bunty is here for comic value.
Newt literally isnât aware of his own appeal. Iâm afraid oblivious!Newt from the fics is sorta canon now.
TINA DOESNâT GET ENOUGH SCREENTIME. Sheâs one of the characters who, along with Jacob, seems to have her shit together and seems eager to get shit done but we donât see her progress. The movie prefers to focus on her relationship with Newt - which, donât get me wrong, theyâre adorable as fuck - instead of the much more interesting investigation plot line she has got going on. Sheâs an Auror; let her be an Auror ! Show us that side of her !
Queenie was certainly⌠something in this movie. I get the feeling sheâs suffering a lot and Grindelwald is the only one, unfortunately, who listens.
Jacob the poor guy goes through a lot in this one too. I donât know how heâs expected to survive in a world he really shouldnât be in, and I think heâs starting to realize that. At the end of the movie he looks to be on the verge of a breakdown.
Leta dies sacrificing herself so the others can escape. Which is very noble but⌠I donât know how I feel about that one just yet.
Grindelwald and Dumbledore⌠Hmm. Dumbledore shows us his suffering intimately. Itâs a short but intense scene that goes one with him in front of that mirror and itâs a great piece of acting. Seeing Johnny Depp in front of him stiiiiill doesnât cut it but oH WELL
Seeing Jamie morph into JD was about as bad as seeing Colin Farrell morph into him tbh. Itâs unbelievable.
Now Grindelwald⌠Grindelwald is⌠He is Grindelwald. He is busy being Grindelwald. Heâs not particularly striking but he gets the job done. Thatâs it.
Sometimes he looks terrifying and sometimes he looks ridiculous. The character design is still a hard pill to swallow.
I got the feeling at some points that Grindelwald worked well when he was doing some Johnny Depp. Like when he asks Queenie if Credence trusts him or when he says âI hate Parisâ after killing a dozen people at the end of his rally - that was funny. Unexpected. And it worked well.
For someone who claims they are the non-violent ones he does seems very prone to like, drowning people, killing children and burning people with fire lol - but all that away from the public eye, which is clever. Iâd say in Grindelwaldâs and his followersâ opinion that rally worked very well. It did what it was meant to - give them an insight into his hopes and beliefs and then scare them into joining his side.
They introduced World War II which, oh boi. Wonder how theyâre gonna weave the muggle history and wizarding world plotline together.
Credence joining him also makes sense for his character. He wants to know who he is and Grindelwald offers him that. But Grindelwald plays him so well itâs also very sad to watch it unfold.
Credence is gonna be so powerful growing under his tutelage though.
The actors playing young Newt and Leta were awesome! Very good casting, very believable. Young Newtâs got Eddie Redmayneâs trademark Newt mannerisms down to a point - congrats to them both!
Newt the adult⌠well he is busy being Newt. Heâs quite cute and clumsy, but he still has some growth to do as a protagonist. I like him being the main character though. Heâs caring.
Yusuf Kama doesnât get much screentime either. Heâs part of the whole Lestrange family drama plotline. We donât have time to get attached to the character.
We donât relate much to any character, actually. Not to Credence, not to Dumbledore, not to any minor new character either. We might relate slightly to Newtâs rivalry with his brother or his difficulties in approaching the woman he likes as well as the difficulties Jacob and Queenie are facing as a couple buuuut thatâs pretty much it.
Thereâs a scene at the beginning when weâre in the carriage and Grindelwald gets illuminated by lightning - he looks properly terrifying. My heart skipped a beat.
Newt and Letaâs relationship is really touching. Itâs easy to see how they could have become close friends.
The Ministry trying to recruit Newt into the auror department like you seriously thought that was gonna work ? lmao
Jacob being charmed by Queenie is problematicâŚ. but itâs interesting to see how Queenie evolves, how she could be driven to such desperations. In my opinion Jacob is a bit too quick to forgive something like this lol but yK
Newt just wants to get to Tina and thatâs cute
God these two are just terribly awkward
I genuinely thought they were gonna kiss at one point though.
I felt bad for Credence seeing the servant who was a link to his family (or maybe not ahaa SPOILER) die like minutes after he met her. the poor dude.
So Credence is a Dumbledore uh. Wonder how that one skipped past Rita Skeeterâs sharp quill.
Credence blasting that hole in the mountain like YEAH BABY THERE YOU GO !!!!!
The niffler steals the blood pact Grindelwald keeps on him at all times and im like YES BABY THERE YOU GO TOO !!! GOOD BOY !
and idk thereâs probably more to say but here you go
Now Iâm saying all this but personally I have a really hard time caring about anything Iâm saying or any of the characters. But thatâs personal.Â
#crimes of grindelwald spoilers#tcog spoilers#fb spoilers#fb2 spoilers#fbtcog spoilers#juTS SPOILERS IN GENERAL OKAY#thanks bye#i kinda really want to try to do an articulated review like a movie critic though#but i dont care#slljdksfhsjfjsdf

Ultraman R/B Movie Review Part 1: Overall [SPOILERS]
I finally managed to finish this wowÂ
(It took such a long time cause I had to rewatch it thrice and then analyse certain scenes more closely to clear up some doubts I had. Because trust me, this show is so content HEAVY especially when it comes to Part 2)
So,
The R/B Movie had surprisingly had a semblance of a well-thought out plot comparatively to the other New Gen Movies (which isnât really saying much, but hey, at least its over)
As in the transitions throughout the movie were mostly MUCH smoother and easier to follow as there is a very good focus on Katsumi as we follow him through his journey to find his goal in life.
But everything else? ErrrrrâŚ..Â
1. Main theme of the Movie???
Ok we all know the main theme of the movie was supposed to be about kinship and whatnot but the bulk of the movie was about Katsumiâs struggles to find his goal and place in the world and having to struggle with his identity as Minato Katsumi or Ultraman Rosso, all whilst having to save a fellow friend of his from falling into darkness.
The last aspect was probably one of the stronger points of the movie as Yukio is essentially facing the same issue as Katsumi so it added a lot of rich dynamics between the two as Katsumi really had no idea how to help Yukio in moving forward from his setback since he himself isnât really in a âhigher groundâ to help or advise. Which resulted in the two becoming more and more disconnected with each other, especially when Yukio found out that Katsumi was Rosso.
Yeah that sounds neat and all, but where does the theme of âKinshipâ and âBondsâ all fit into this?
a) The idea of kinship throughout the movie is very forcibly and awkwardly inserted throughout the movie, just like how Geed forced the word and idea of âfateâ down our throats even tho it actually sometimes dosent really concern the idea or just doesnât make sense at all as to why it was the underlying theme of a certain scene or dialogue.
b) Pretty sure bringing Geed into this movie and involving him in the whole âfamilyâ idea is the worst ultra to talk that topic about
I honestly thought he was gonna talk about his family actually being Moa and the gang even tho Belial is his biological dad to reinforce the idea that kinship goes beyond blood ties to mirror the relationship between Riku and the R/B siblings
But he literally just stopped at Belial. At this point, the dialogue between Asahi and Riku becomes soooo dry and awkward (Its literally almost as dry as the dialogues between Isami and Yuha in ep 5), especially Rikuâs awkward smile and Asahiâs awkward reaction in the end, the atmosphere was so awkward that it really caused goosebumps to form on everyone when I watched it together with my friends for the first time, even during subsequent rewatches.
2. The manufactured, abrupt insertion of âKinship & Familyâ
The flow of the movie shifted too abruptly midway through the movie as virtually 90% of the plot was previously centered around Katsumi finding his place in the world and making difficult choices but all the progress made thus far then suddenly shifted to the theme âKinship & Familyâ, the drastic shift was especially apparent starting from when Trigger appeared out of the screen and talked to Blu about how kinship is so fragile and whatnot. But like, what sparked this monologue from Trigger? It was seemingly so random.Â
Even after defeating Snake Darkness (SD), Gruebe turns around to the audience and says along the lines of 'You see? This the true power of familyâ, I can promise you, 5/5 of my friends I was watching with including me cringed at this moment, just thinking about it right now still makes me cringe
3. Horrendous CGI scenes
Remember I said in one of the R/B Movie Trailer reviews that the CGI model of Gruebe looks really weird when he was shot beside UF?
Yeah wow it gets worse than that.
All of CGI scenes in which only 1 party is CGI is simply just too horrendous to watch, especially when Gruebe grapples with SD, Gruebeâs movements were so stiff and awkward (And that one scene where Gruebe recovers from SDâs strike looks so cheap)
But otherwise, that Gruebe vs Trigger battle sequence where both models were CGI was done pretty ok-ish for the most part
And the gesticulations and voice acting for Trigger when he was in CGI was totally out of sync
And man at the last scene where UF and Gruebe interacted with each other at the end I literally breathed a sign of relief when we see the only scene where Gruebeâs actual suit is being used (And oh boy does it look MUCH BETTER)
4. Power Scaling
Gruebe went from literally being trashed by SD to suddenly being able to totally tank his strikes without any sort of stagger AND fling SD around within a span of 5 seconds
5. Others
- Gruebeâs main grunt is essentially the acoustic embodiment of âclusterfuckâ, especially with that ridiculously high pitch. Coupled with the horrendous CGI, Im having EXTREME difficulty trying to enjoy fight scenes when Gruebe is present
- Also a couple of friends described Gruebeâs gesticulations as and I quote 'disturbingly flamboyantâ, I personally just found it rather weird but I guess thatâs Grigioâs influence on Gruebe so welp
- Asahi never fails to be cringey even as Grigio
-Â I get the symbolism behind Grigioâs transformation but other than that, it really dosent make any sense considering that Grigios are a separate species of kaiju, I initially though that Sakiâs spirit was gonna become the Ultrawoman Grigio crystal or sth
- In addition to the previous point, isnât Asahi the embodiment of the Makoto Crystal? But yet now sheâs an independent Ultra???
WHAT???????
6. Conclusion
Overall, the R/B Movie actually falls under one of those rare New Gen Movie specimens that is of a somewhat similar quality as the series.
Ive even heard many people saying that both share a similar pattern, as they both start out very promising and engaging before quickly plummeting down to the ground.
But at least TsuPro got to try out some new ideas especially with the whole CGI aspects and could hopefully improve on it.
And this marks the end of the New Gen Era (aka the experimental era) to usher in the new Reiwa Era of Ultraman.
Other than that, noticed I havenât said much about Trigger even tho I consistently said that hes the mvp for this movie? Well Part 2 is ALL about him, cause trust me,Â
This character is SO RICH its not even funny
So stay tuned for Part 2 where ill get to the JUICY MEAT of this whole movie

Initiative, perseverance, epiphany, and trust (My thoughts on Free! Dive to the Future - Episodes 7 and 8)
So I��m finally back after a long cram session! There were so many emotions and interactions that came to light in the last two episodes, so we have a lot to cover! But first, we see a new face come to the main screen.
This is a little long, but I hope it can be a good ride for yâall!
Starting from the end of episode 6 into the start of episode 7, we officially meet Ryuuji, a wandering former swimmer coach who hates mackerel saunters into Haruâs life through Asahiâs brother-in-law. Other than Makoto, we are the first to see that Haru asks this slightly-scruffy and enigmatic man to coach him (all in exchange for food as payment... oh, how I wished for that kind of bargain to work in real life).Â
Now that is initiative. Seeing how the entire series emphasized Haruâs love of water and aloof attitude towards life in general, this is huge.Â
Not only that, Haru is getting extra lessons for the sake of Ikuya. Just as Haruâs dear friends saved him back in high school when he was lost and trapped by pressure, Haru is now extending his hand out to help Ikuya in his own way. As we find out just a few minutes later, the fact that Haru is going completely outside of his comfort zone to help a friend shows to us how much he has grown as an individual and as a friend. The current Haru knows the value of friendship, and has come to accept the huge role that friendship has on his ability to swim. We have seen throughout this episode just how strong of a swimmer Haru is, and so we must remember the journey that Haru went through to get to this stage. Although Haru may not know how lonely Ikuya is feeling since he hasnât had a chance to speak to Ikuya in person (also, how sad is it when someone says that he or she donât know what friends are anymore?), Haru seems to have realized to a certain extent how his swimming brings light to his friendsâ lives. So, as Nao puts it, Haru must help in the best way that he can.Â
In life, weâre often told to take initiative of our own lives in order to achieve our goals, whether in our careers or in our personal lives. Not too often do we completely change our regular routine just for a friend, but if a friend is important enough to us, we may be more than willing to do just that. Haru has evolved into a selfless individual who is willing to go above and beyond for his friends, and in this sense he is a great role model for us to look up to. His perseverance in trying to repair his friendship with Ikuya despite the shade thrown at him a few weeks back shows a maturity that many eighteen-year-olds donât exhibit. Furthermore, the positive attitude that Haru has towards improving his own swimming shows a growth that I am sure many of us anticipated and welcomed, for he is branching out and evolving as a swimmer worthy for the world stage. Once again, this anime is expressing the nuances of adulthood through exploration of new avenues, taking initiative to achieve our goals, and persevering through any challenges that are thrown our way. These concepts are pervasive through much of our lives, including Haruâs, and the massive improvement shown in Haruâs swimming is a testament to all the hard work he put in as he enters uncharted swimming territory for himself and for his dear friend.Â
(Before I continue, cue to how cute Kisumi is as he gets bored waiting for his friends to free up time, haha)
(Also, how great is Akane?! Her support for Asahi and his friends in their swimming careers is so endearing. And Tsukushi. OMG can I play with him?! Please donât kick me in the face though, haha.)
And FINALLY, Asahi and Ikuya meet up, and that is where we first see in Ikuyaâs own spoken words how confused and lonely he is. In this interaction, we notice just how much Asahi values his friends, and how he makes these thoughts so obvious to the viewer and to Ikuya. Despite years of not keeping in contact, Asahi views Ikuya as a dear friend, and he trusts Ikuya and the bond they had in middle school. Trust is a concept that Ikuya struggles with, and we could even see this come to light during High Speed! when Ikuya was unwilling to join the medley relay. Ikuya is an individual who wants to trust others from the bottom of his heart, but he also realized that his heart breaks little by little with each separation, starting from his older brother Natsuya. Since he is subconsciously afraid that all those he holds dear to him will leave him one day, Ikuya walled himself off from those around him and holds everyone at armâs length. This makes Asahi the perfect foil to the current Ikuya, as Asahiâs innate trust in his friends and teammates are the best way for Ikuya to begin to realize that his friends are still there to lift him up.Â
Moving beyond Ikuya for just a moment, I want to appreciate the grit that Asahi shows towards his goals in swimming. As we hear from both himself and his sister, Asahi is cutting it close in his events with regards to times. As a former varsity swimmer myself, I know just how nerve-wracking this feeling is, as every millisecond counts in the world of swimming. But despite this, Asahi still keeps his goal to reach the world stage in mind and does not let the slow-but-gradual progress deter him. If anything, his motivation increases with each close shave that he has. For any of you who watched High Speed!, youâll probably remember the Asahi who was hyper, overly-confident, and who did not have a clue about what self-reflection entails. Youâll probably also remember how Haruâs innate swimming ability literally made Asahi forget how to swim freestyle, and how distraught that made him. Yet, these experiences helped Asahi to mature and develop into the endearing character we know today, as he has grown into a natural leader who knows how to bring out the best in his friends (we have to give credit to Rei for giving him much-needed wise advice back in middle school, but seriously when are they going to meet?!), a more self-reflective but still-humorous individual who is aware of his own weaknesses, and an ever-growing swimmer who has never lost sight of his goals and so never gives up.
NOW WEâLL MOVE TO THE BIG MOMENT! Spoilers for Episode 8 are ahead, so if you havenât watched yet, definitely watch first :D

Everyone is surprised when Haru and Ikuya are next to each other in the 400 IM. I mean, who wouldnât be when the aloof main character of the series for 3+ years said that he only swims free?
And so we see Ikuya finally come to the realization that he isnât alone. Yay, Ikuya! Considering that he is such a fragile person, the fact that Haru has once again saved him is endearing and nearly brought me to tears.Â
I mean, this:
And the fact that Haru is a softie who never forgets promises, even though he is sometimes not great at keeping them until several years later:
And this. I nearly cried myself:
I am so happy for Ikuya, and Haru, and all friends who are involved. Everyone who even knows an inkling of the friendship that Haru and Ikuya share know how important this moment is (and just as Asahi says, who cares if Haru lost the IM? They gained a friend back!).Â
We also find out just how much Ikuya looks up to Haru as he shares with the entire group what his wish was from the night he and Haru viewed the starry night sky. I mean, Ikuya wants to be a hero like Haru is to him? Just as Haru said, Ikuya is a hero even without realizing it. But above all, the greatest moment for me was when Ikuya remembered what true friendship is, and comes to an epiphany that getting stronger is not something you can achieve purely for your own sake, and that obtaining freedom can only happen when you become stronger for those you love.Â
I am positively giddy about how this season is portraying freedom. The meaning of freedom is different for every person. For some, freedom means to be able to choose what you want to do at any point of your life. For others, freedom means that you are not constrained, emotionally or mentally, by the unspoken rules that society places on behavior or thought. In Ikuyaâs case, freedom could very well mean the ability to swim with no boundaries for and alongside your trusted friends and loved ones. After all, we see time and time again with this series that any limitation on friendships prevent these characters from swimming at their best.
So with this in mind, we see the old Iwatobi Middle School relay gang get back together, and we see Ikuya return to his old self.Â
Ikuya also brings Hiyori back to join the freestyle relay with him. Now if thatâs not the greatest progression in character there is this season, I donât know what is. I mean, the guy who has been moody and who swam alone for the last few years is now swimming with others? What?! I mean, that even threw Hiyori in for a loop.
And Ikuya is back to the same guy who teases Asahiâs habits and periodic idiocy:
I was also so, so touched when Hiyori realizes the power of Haruâs swimming and how it freed him, and when Ikuya remembers the young Hiyori that he met in early childhood. Hopefully we can see a more positive Hiyori in the coming episodes!
(And Natsuya, you so cried. I bet you that Ikuya is his older brotherâs hero. What a cute sibling relationship!)
(But seriously, Kisumi, youâre in the wrong anime. Youâre even recruiting Hiyori to join the basketball club?!?!)
Anyway, I had a blast with the last two episodes, and I look forward to see where these group of lads go with their newfound realizations, their growing understanding of themselves, and their aspirations in the swimming world.
Above all, weâre glad to have you back, Ikuya! Keep smiling as you did before!

Thoughts on Persona 5
The persona series is one of the biggest influences to me and who I am within recent memory. Iâve played every game and anticipate the idea of exploring every nook and cranny the game has to offer, across hundreds of hours. Both three and four were games that I cherish and the same can be said with five. But just like with any game I've played there are some gripes that get to me whenever i think about them for too long. This is my personal opinion but i do like hearing different viewpoints since it will always add insight to a discussion. I am prone to rambling and sometimes getting of topic but i shall do my best. Spoilers ahead for anyone who has yet to beat/see the game in its entirety.
During the âanticipationâ for the games release, I didnât really look up a lot about the game because i wanted everything to be a surprise. Aside from some trailers that hooked me in with an amazing story about Phantom Thieves who steal peoples hearts and jump out of Casinos, everything would be a surprise for me. So when i started up the game and reached Kamoshidaâs Palace. I was having a grand time with all the mechanics, the music, and the different characters that were being presented too me. Personally, Morgana is one hell of a upgrade in comparison to Teddy. Both as a character, and as a mascot.
During the game play, I was always looking forward to what would come next and how it would be done. Hanging out with Ryuji and seeing Mishima change as a person were some early game highlights. Of course i went through the dungeon as fast as possible because i wanted to know the characters as much as possible. Ryuji filled a good role as a partner and as comic relief, but I felt towards the later end of the game he couldâve had another spark to get him excited (other than being pissed at corrupt adults). And no. The confrontation between Morgana and Ryuji does not count. I felt like that could have been so much better of a scene, but it was executed poorly with Morgana basically getting away for his constant belittling of âSkullâ. Everyone just laughs it off, except for me because its actually just unwarranted and unnecessary rivalry between characters who just started off on the wrong foot. Morgana is a know it-all and Ryuji may need a second explanation sometimes but he has more heart that anyone in the gang.
But, iâm getting ahead of myself. The original four were interesting characters who had good traits to bounce off one another whether it be through bickering or bonding. And as the story progressed, i really found myself hating Kamoshida because of how much of an asshole he truly was behind his public mask (haha). Shihoâs involvement only strengthened that belief. As sudden as her introduction was, it still meant something to me. So taking him down, and seeing him crying while confessing everything was great satisfaction.
But this is where something started occurring to me that would constantly present itself to me throughout the course of the game and it was bothersome. Climbing up the confidant ranks of Ann, and later Makoto made me ask a question to myself over and over again. Why am i not learning more about THESE characters, but instead about Chiho and some random girl from Makotoâs class. I understand that they are being used as catalysts to show traits and ideas about their personality, but i would rather observe those traits for myself while also learning more about them. I found myself to be learning more about these characters during story cut scenes (in-game or otherwise) then i did in the confidants. And thatâs a problem in my eyes.Â
It almost felt like they were flattening themselves like Persona Q did for the castsâ of three and four. Ann is a female model who loves sweets, cares deeply/respects herself and her friends, and can stand up for others but not so much for herself. I couldâve learned this through different scenes in the game like with different encounters of Kamoshida, the Shido cruise, and just how she carries herself. And Makoto is a whole other basket case with how shes supposed to be this âbadassâ who only reveals herself when she is pushed too far but she is also motherly and wants to protect what is right in her eyes. Those are the only defining traits i can think of when i think of Makoto and they are mostly shown in her Awakening scene. Maybe also when she defies her sister to download the case files and slaps her friend. Other than that, she felt very robotic to me, wanting to help this nameless individual.
We could of had a scene where Sae is worrying about her sister and wants to see one of her friends, and thinking you are the best option. She invites you (the leader of the phantom thieves) to come over. More interaction with Sae, more personal depictions of Makoto, rather than seeing the problems of someone we arenât invested in. Or hell maybe even Akechi could show up during a confidant session. This is my first pet peeve with Persona 5. In comparison to the previous games, we learn so much more about the characters personality and problems through hangouts. Junpei isnât a social link/confidant but we learn about his experience with Chidori and feel for him during a later confrontation (Heâs a social link in Persona 3 Portable i know but im refering to three and FES). Or Kanji being a âdelinquentâ. We see others belittling him for his appearance and what they perceive to be his personality, but we know better as his friend. We learn about his mother and his desires through the rank ups. Moving on though.
Yusuke has one of my more favorite social links as he is overflowing with personality and (in my opinion) humor. Even if accidental, all the posing, painting and quirkyness from Yusuke is what i expected from everyone. After Madarame is taken down he goes from being defensively aggressive to shaken up and finally angry at the man he once cherished. We learn more about him both in and out of confidants, like how he doesnt have much money so he rarely gets to eat, and also didnt have a place to stay for a while (even though that was brief. I wouldâve loved seeing Daytime scenes with him). He has almost a brother like relationship with Futaba Sakura, who i believe to be a well executed hermit character. For me, her backstory was very developed and believable for someone to shut themselves inside when they dont have all of the answers to a problem/life event that has become essentially the bane of their existence. Her social link developed her bond with Sojiro and shows of traits of herself through another person in a way that didnt completely focus on them instead of the person im hanging out with (*cough* Makoto *cough*)
Seriously though, I think all the characters were written well for the most part with only a few exceptions. Atlas really knows how to write their characters. Haru is actually one of my top picks for a favorite character because of how she was portrayed in having to deal with stress and how we kind of lead to the demise of her father. Though that was completely unavoidable as most things are in a supernatural franchise such as this. One last thing that urked me about the game was Akechi and how blatantly obvious the whole traitor aspect of his character was depicted. Atlas had it right with Adachi, making him one of my favorite characters in general and showing off a hopelessly Nihilistic perspective of the world when we as a player are seeing the world as happy and carefree. He didnt have a social link (until Golden), while Akechi did. The difference is that Akechiâs was progressed through story events while Adachiâs was an optional relationship that led you to learning more of his quirks earlier in the story. He could have been so much more but was thrown aside for a nameless âbig badâ who we (as a player. Not the protagonist) have no relation too. Iâve seen discussions saying how Akechi could have been the one to have the Riverâs in the Desert battle, with a shadow realm showing his perspective of the world as a kingdom with him as the hero who protected everyone. He is the best in his own eyes and could not be defeated.
If there is one thing i hate in story telling, it is wasted potential. And Pancake Boy has a lot of that to spare. From the moment he blackmailed the Phantom Thieves to show them Nijimaâs Palace (also with just how GOOD his moveset was), it made it so much more obvious he wouldnât be a mainstay.
Those are my main comments with Persona 5, but they are mostly nitpicks compared to the grand scheme of things. I invested 200+ hours and two playthroughs into this game. My regular play through and a Fresh Merciless playthrough (with the help of a guide for 100% sake). I love this game to pieces and i wouldnât be talking about it otherwise. Maybe there will be a P5Crimson Edition that adds more context to Akechiâs character and fixes problems other people have with the game. Maybe not. Who knows.
