Hey what do u think of Kirasaya fans on twt that is often canceling ppl bcz we thought and tweeted Kirasaya it's toxic? Like... If I'm be real.. Kirasaya relationship is unhealthy and I feel like sayaka autisme and kirari sociopath if already been healed, I don't think Kirasaya would stick together again as secretary and president relationship and situation... And another Kirasaya fans like dramatic /fanaticly love Kirasaya like the tweeted everyday and I'm bored and think like why they can't just see the reality... And I think even though Kirasaya relationship still be good it's ust friend not like gf-bf relationship, whaddya think?

From what I heard, people on Twitter are suddenly hating Kirari (who in the current flashback is what, 7?) with the fierceness of a thousand suns, only because “but Yumeko is such a baby🥺🥺 how could Kirari be such a meanie to her??😡😡”.

As if behind each and any instance in which a literal child got to be the leader of an extensive and powerful domain (in this case, the Momobami Clan) the adults weren’t behind it. As if Kirari had been born with the need to be malicious, and cruel and merciless, and not brought up to be like that by her own Family. As if she wasn’t trying to fix it with the Election??? Like, this isn’t me fangirling over Kirari, this is me wondering if any of them ever got to sit in a history class and actually listen.

But I disgress. All this to say that the critical thoughts of most Twitter users don’t go much beyond the ability to read kindergarden-level books without getting their personal feeling involved.

KiraSaya is obviously unhealthy the way it is now, because both Kirari and Sayaka’s mental health isn’t the best. If that was to change, I don’t think it would influence what they feel for each other. They did both risk their lives with that leap of faith at the Tower. A feeling so deep can’t just go away in a day. It would certainly fade at a certain point, but it’s the kind of sentiment that remains with you for a lifetime, even after you stop seeing each other.

I think if they both had the chance to heal and feel a good, healthy kind of love, they’d grow even closer. The only way I see them “breaking up” would be either because they’d find something worse to obsess over or because they’d simply outgrow each other, as it happens sometimes with high school sweethearts. Knowing how hard they loved each other though I can’t imagine them staying close friends.

Lol it's OK if u have negative opinion about how kirari perspective about sayaka. But I think kirari truly care for sayaka like before the aquarium broken bcz of yumeko the manga shown kirari Lil bit surprised bcz of how unconscious sayaka about house pet system. Plus the situation, it's already ririka went to mary side. So in kirari side is only sayaka is trusted person and runa (dunno if this person trusted or not but runa is still mystery for kkg fandom in twt like we dunno how runa met with momobami the first time). Even if u searched on ggl, there was kkg collab with mahjong game, dunno if homura intended to do that but in kirari saying on that game, her most trusted person is sayaka, and they need each other, Kirari thought sayaka think herself is unimportant. (Awww.. Sweet) but yeah since sayaka is figure character, aint protagonist or deutregonist, her chara development is so slow. The writer or illustrator don't focus on sayaka. Anyway, care to share Ur opinion?

I don’t have much of an opinion. Of course, since that last scene in the Election, it’s clear that Kirari cares for her.

What I was saying in the tags of the other asks, is that I don’t like the fact that Sayaka’s character has nothing to share aside from her attachment to Kirari. She’s smart and logic and whatnot, but we only and exclusively see her act for Kirari’s sake or on Kirari’s orders. Even in the bonus comics at the end of the volumes, we only see her mess around with Kirari. We don’t see any meaningful interaction that doesn’t involve Kirari or her needs and wants. (Kari doesn’t count)

Maybe it’s because I grew up reading Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk, and both of those authors get almost uncomfortably talkative when it comes to their character’s quirks and lives. Their style rubbed off on me, a bit. That’s why I always try to write some odd or non-consequential details in my fics.

Sayaka’s obsessed with Kirari, alright, but people don’t have only one characteristic that defines them. They can exist outside of their obsession.

Even Sumeragi and Manyuda showed us two different sides of their persona outside of each other. That’s why I’d like to see a little bit more of Sayaka.

[sintreaties]

Hello! Happy ❤️ ♥️ day! Ah do you know if the momobami family has an official Crest/emblem shown in the manga or no? Thank you

Hello there.

It should be this one (shown when they present the Election and the Bami):

I’m 100% sure there’s a better, more detailed crest in another chapter, but I couldn’t tell you which one. Also I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it’s the Momobami’s crest (as in, Ririka and Kirari’s family) or if it’s the Momobami’s crest (as in, the crest of the whole clan).

Are u good at making scientific essay??? I feel like Ur writing style is good looks like reader wanna replace homura with u as kkg author... Meanwhile I'm here trouble for making fic and my essay, any tips to improve it?

I’ve never written a scientific essay. The kind they taught us to write in school were more about critical thinking, like exploring controversial topics, or analysing literature and historical periods. I was usually good at writing them, but it has been a while.

Keeping in mind the structure is what always saved me from botching, no matter how hard the topic was:

1) present the topic and the way you’ll be analysing it in part 2,

2) talk in depth about the point you’re trying to make by offering proof and sources in your research,

3) wrap it up by drawing your conclusions.

More than that, I can only say that you had to be coherent and keep an eye on your sentence structure (which duh, of course).

On the other hand, writing fiction will yield subjective results. Some will say you write better than Homura, some’s eyes will glaze over everytime they see stuff with your name on it. Practice (and reading) will help no matter what.

Here’s a few other asks that might help you:

1. General fanfiction advice

2. Writing characters outside of their usual environment

3. Writing an OC in the AU of a canon setting

4. Writing characters in a Future AU

5. Writing depending on the media

6. Character PoV

I’m sure you can find better resources on the interner, but I hope that helps. Break a leg 💪

Kiritsugu emiya or Kotomine Kirei?

This one is a no-brainer: Kotomine Kirei, 100%.

He’s a priest, he’s got dead fish eyes, he likes spicy food, he somehow manages to get Gilgamesh on his side, he’s remarkably good at throwing hands, he would not be afraid to throw hands with a literal child, his no non-sense personality makes for great humor when you least expect it and his voice actor is great.

[sintreaties]

Hey have u ever watched attack on titan, till the part of Mikasa(fem) carried big boxes when eren (male) can't carry that weight? Bcz I'm being reminded by OTAP chapter where sayaka carried big fish food when ririka and nozomi looking for the wanted dog... Anyway I know it took 1 or 2 years to finish that masterpiece (OTAP) but as u wrote or arranged the story on every chapter continue to next chapter, have u ever making story where the reference based on scene from Anime to/movie that u watched?

I did try to watch AoT, but I think I dropped it after three episodes?

I’m sure I’ve made references here and there. Although it ended up being cut out, one of them is about Sachiko’s father having like 9 dogs and only and exclusively caring about those 9 dogs. It’s a reference from Chainsaw Man.

In that context it was supposed to show that Sachiko’s father was used to being in a position of unmatched power and wanted to focus only on his affairs. He enjoyed more hanging out with the dogs than with his own unruly daughter. That’s why Sachiko is so obsessed with parading Mikura around with a leash and punishing her: in a way, it feels like she’s punishing her father’s dogs, finally having a degree of choice over them. The child within Sachiko is still competing against them for her father’s attention — and she’s winning, because now she’s the father, Mikura’s she one begging and giving affection and she’s more than glad to shower Sachiko with it.

In general, I try to avoid making (conscious) references to other movies or books. Writing should be personal, I don’t want to parrot what others have said before me because it wouldn’t feel genuine.

[sintreaties]

Let's be real u love the anon who asked u lots of question right?

Allow me to thank you for this question, because it gave me the chance to speak about something that’s been intriguing me for a while (albeit it’s more of a personal reflection, rather than a conversation with you specifically).

I’ve been answering anon asks for years and because this was my first experience being active in fandom spaces, I’ve come to consider it as a sort of social experiment.

To answer your question: no, I do not enjoy the last few asks. I don’t appreciate when people don’t take the hint and keep sending them.

In part, of course, it’s because I’ve grown tired. Tired of Kakegurui, but also of some of its fans. The asks I used to receive were also much more engaging and some were actually quite funny! Some anons were nice enough to come here just to share something they enjoyed, something unrelated to KKG, because they thought that I’d enjoy it too. I appreciate those anons a lot and I hope they’re having a nice day, just like the anons who reached out to talk about my fics and discuss what they liked or disliked about them.

I can’t remember if I mentioned it here, but for me, the anons of this blog are the equivalent of strangers stopping me in the streets while I’m minding my business. Some people ask for directions (meaning, some come here asking for writing advice and such) and if I can help them, it is my pleasure to do so. Some people come up to me to strike a conversation, and although I don’t always have the patience or the interest to indulge them, I do my best to reply.

And then there’s… the others.

Those are the ones that puzzle me. I don’t take what they say personally, nor do I give it much weight, because in the end, they’re still just strangers on the internet, but I’m still genuinely curious about why they do the things they do. It’s not like I’ve lost sleep over it but even as a writer, I’m very, very interested in understanding this kind of humanity. Everything has a reason, if you care to search for it.

So those anons, right. Some of them don’t even follow me: Why are they here?

Of course, one of the reasons is that this is an open space. You can come in, do your thing, get out. I’ll never know who you are so you don’t really feel like there’s going to be any substantial consequence to what you say.

There’s this quote by Robert A. Caro that goes, “When you have enough power to do what you always wanted to do, then you’re really gonna see what you always wanted to do.”

So you have the power to be rude, and stupid and nonsensical, right?

But why would you do it?

Like, if someone was to tell me “Hey, I don’t appreciate your avances”, well, I wouldn’t send them this kind of stuff:

I’d feel like a loser, you see? I’d show no manners to the person who’s repeatedly said that they don’t appreciate this kind of messages (most importantly when those who send them are really trying to get my cell number!!!) and I’d also show such an incredible loneliness and hopelessness that I couldn’t help but be ashamed of myself.

Plus you’re doing this where everyone can see you! You’re on anon yes, but you know that you’re the one who wrote that stupid, rude or nonsensical ask. How can you not be embarassed about it? I suppose you’re either dumb enough to lack self-awareness or you’re so insecure that you’re much beyond that to torture yourself with silly concepts like dignity and self-respect.

I don’t mean it as an insult, really, I’m just trying to draw my own conclusions here. My power fantasy is to be a good, kind, interesting person in a community of equally good and nice and interesting people and yours is… this? Why?

Reading some of these asks feels like getting a glimpse of someone’s intrusive thoughts. You can tell that they didn’t stop to think before sending them. My mutuals have to thank me, because despite what I’ve been told recently by a friend, I still spare them the worst ones (which, curiously, have only really started to appear recently). This kind of stuff gives me such bad second-hand embarassment that if I try to put myself in the anon’s shoes I deal myself psychic damage.

Most of those people don’t even come to me because I’m Sintreaties and they have a problem specifically with Sintreaties. The problematic anons either disregard or forget the fact that they’re real, living people talking to another real, living person — who, incidentally, has nothing to do with them.

And it’s incredible, because again, I wouldn’t be able to act like some of you! Sometimes it helps to think that no matter how many times I’ve hit rock bottom, I’ve never sent anon hate nor have I ever harrassed someone online just because I could. But then, even in videogames I never pick the “bad route”. What’s the fun in that? If I have to be mean and pick a fight with someone, hell, let it be a fight that can win me something more than whatever you get from arguing with Twitter users.

In the end, the question for me isn’t “why are you doing this to me”.

For me, the question becomes: why are you doing this to yourselves?

Bro, go for a walk! Talk to your friends, and if you’ve got none, go ahead and make some! Go for a coffee all by yourself and joke with the guy at the counter! Jesus Christ man, you can do better than waste your time sending that kind of asks to a random person on the internet! You show so little self-love that I can’t help but feel compassion. Where’s your dignity? Where’s your self-respect, the innate, human drive that pushes us to be better, no matter what? If you’re so lonely and insecure, do something about it! The world is full of people who wish to be your friend and to know you for who you are. Take care of yourself, for god’s sake!

“Lighten up, it’s not that deep” — for some of you, yeah. We’re talking about the same people who can barely read and comprehend a manga, I don’t expect them to understand my point.

(And I don’t mean it as a “look at me, I am so superior to you, because I actually use my head to think things critically and I’m still in touch with my emotions even in online settings.”)

For you it’s just one or two weird asks. Since 2019, I’ve received hundreds of them.

Again, I’m still relatively new to fandom. I’ve “only” been around for a few years and I’ve mostly only interacted with KKG fans. I’ve also always tried to curate my experience, which is already lacking on its own compared to someone who’s been around for decades. On that note, I wonder if some older, more experienced users would like to share their opinions on the matter — on anon too, or course.

I still want to keep my askbox open, because some anons really have something new and interesting to bring to the table. Remember though: it’s not 2020 anymore. From now on, I really do suggest thinking well about an ask before sending it.

And on a final note, I’m told that one of my asks made it to the KKG struggles account on Twitter so I’d personally like to thank and shake hands with all the anons that made it possible🤝🍾🎉

[sintreaties]

Wow u are that writer of thorn petal of kkg in AO3 right? I've just finished to read that, that was nice writing style and nice story. Don't u wanna come back again to write kkg fic or another fic on AO3? Cause I like Ur story

I’m glad you enjoyed OTAP. Next one-shot drops on the 7th.

After that, I’m finally working on a multichapter fic that I’ve sort of spoiled here on Tumblr a few months back.

[sintreaties]

Hey what do u think about this chara :

1. Rin tohsaka

2. Shirou emiya

3. Arthur saber

Like I see u loving personality like modred/mary saotome, which I knew as emosional anger type... It's ok if u dislike it, since u don't write a fic about fate Anime series

Oh, I did write for Fate in the past (like 2019-ish?). Simply, I never made that public. Although I am fascinated by the Fate universe, I’m not a hard-core fan, my knowledge is very superficial. Plus I believe its fandom already has more enough skilled creators so I don’t feel like adding anything of my own.

And it’s not about the anger in itself. It’s because those characters have very good reasons to be angry. I certainly like Mordred and his story more than Saotome because of it.

That being said, I believe Rin to be the best character among the ones you mentioned. I like the fact that she’s proud and confident enough to be arrogant, yet in the series we have been shown emotional moments, scenes of weakness from her. She’s the heir to one of the most important families in her universe, and although she’s bound by the search of power like everyone else, I feel like her traditions liberate her, rather than chain her down like Sakura. Last Encore played her dirty by making her great-grandaughter or whatever look the same as her.

Shirou is… certainly a man. He does… manly… things. I never really liked him as a main character in the series, but of course, he’s been created to be flat specifically for the visual novels. I can only speak about the anime version of him, I’ll leave out his future version. His story is a tragedy on its own, but because of his original self, I can’t find it too compelling. Archer was my first servant in FGO so I have a soft spot for him specifically.

I know nothing about Arthur Saber. From what I heard, he’s just another generical anime man with the personality of a cardboard box. I much prefer Artoria, both as Saber and as Lancer/King of Lions.

[sintreaties]

Do u think kakegurui midari is hot? I wanna be so bad shipping midasaya pair, I read kkg fic called sayaka fans club concert by multifandotakugirl... Still hiatus 😭😎👍

Let us just say, it shows that you’re new around here

[sintreaties]

Have u seen Kirasaya and meariri already having children from comic by fan?

Used to get those from the accounts that repost stolen art here on Tumblr before I started blocking them.

[sintreaties]

Lol u are kirari stan, don't ya? I thought u were ririka Stan, Ur replied worshipping kirari, duh...

……… what about the ask in which I said I’d make Nero Fate and Florence Nightingale Fate into christian saints

[sintreaties]

Have u already got children or wife or smth?

Oh, I was fooling around with Straight Girl just a few weeks ago, I wouldn’t be able to do it if I was a family guy

[sintreaties]

What do u think kirari redemption or punishment to kirari should be like..? (u know if u have recently read new kkg chapter and knowing kirari character)

I haven’t been following KKG too closely for almost two years. I have a nebulous idea of what’s going on — and I wish I knew even less given the astounding lack of diversity in the physiognomy of the Jabami family and the sudden existence of a ring (which, why? Of all the things, of all the tropes and clichés, why use a MacGuffin? Jesus Christ).

I’ve been quite disappointed in the way the story and its characters have been handled in the last two arcs. This current flashback to Yumeko’s past gives me very little hope that they’ll be able to give us (or at least, give me) a compelling ending. It is simply not a good build-up for me. It doesn’t make me care about what will or will not happen.

Either way, I honestly do not want a redemption arc for Kirari. Although of course I expect to see the consequences of her actions, I don’t care for a possible punishment (even if maybe that’s what she herself wants).

If all, I believe Kirari should try her best to do much worse.

Something bad enough that maybe Saotome finally gets a chance to be President now, but she considers refusing because the situation Kirari left her at Hyakkaou is just a hopeless warzone. All the while, I hope Kirari fucked off on her helicopter and is enjoying a second chance at being a normal kid where nobody knows her. And not even Ririka knows where her sister went, so now they will be forced to grow into their own persons. It will hurt, sure, but at the end, growing pains are normal, and thank God for that finally. And maybe Sayaka is in the same situation. Maybe she’s ll be left waiting for a signal from Kirari, like during the Choice Poker game, but because she had the chance to have some character developement, she’ll be able to accept it and live with the doubt.

And because Terano realizes all of this, she won’t care to hunt Kirari down. She’ll envy her, but if Kirari’s plan worked, if the Clan really has been destroyed, Terano herself will get her chance to finally live a normal life. Or she’ll be too busy desperatly trying to bring the Family back together, because she’s made it her life-goal. Giving up on it would mean giving up her raison d’être. She’ll be forced to live through her own trauma — and she won’t accept running away like Kirari, even if that would be the right thing for herself.

I want things to fall apart, because Kirari was the center of it all, and despite the fact that some of her actions were outright criminal, she did bring a sense of stability in the reality she had built around her power. No matter what happens to her, the consequences will prevent all the other characters from enjoying the new-found normalcy without her.

Nothing too optimistic, nothing too negative: in the gray area, like the rest of the story.

I really just want one last huge early-KKG style plot twist — something that hopefully won’t involve a fucking ring.

[sintreaties]

so... I'm not sure if you listen to vocaloid but I can't help but think Daughter of Evil and Servant of Evil are very fitting songs for kirari and ririka, or even souko and yumeko. what do you think?

Vocaloid songs always creeped me out a little, what with the synthetic voice and stuff, so I can’t really say lol

[sintreaties]

How are you?

Sunny weather and warmer temperatures got me feeling like the world is worth saving, actually
