[jojolimons]

damn gill is rlly kicking my ass

[justsomerandomplanet]

[ jjk 261 spoilers ]

just rambling thoughts about the chapter now that ive Actually read it (thank u tcb and also i wish ppl who post about leaks without tags a very can you Stop and tag thanks)

tldr; i dont hate the chapter, its an interesting one! feel free to discuss with me if u would like

I don't actually hate the chapter conceptually

Ideologically, Uraume has brought up the topic of being human and the fact to be strong/to defeat sukuna you must disregard that obsession of loneliness/humanity. I also think at the end of the day, it speaks a lot about how jujutsu society functions (in that it uses people regardless of respecting them as people, i.e. the star plasma vessels, children as sorcerers facing death constantly, etcetc).

Nevertheless, I do wonder why Yuta had to do it. At the end of the day I still believe Yuji will be the one to defeat Sukuna, you cannot tell me all that build up to him is for Nothing, but what point is there in bringing Yuta in that case? If he just does more damage and then dies (lol), like. What is there to it. Like in the perspective of the characters i get it, they don't know if they'll win or lose and they're gonna have to use every option they have, but simply on a readers perspective, it feels a bit redundant. I just feel there should be a way to incorporate this idea without it feeling like we'll get gojo v sukuna 2.0. Idk i just want yuji to beat sukuna like that first page was so cool :(!!!!

Anyway, the idea of bringing back Gojo similar to how "Toji" was revived in shibuya is also unbelievable bc Gojo himself is shown to still want to protect the kids. His ideology derives from making sure They Are Alive And Changing The System. Yes, I get it he is battle obsessed too (see the shinjuku battle) but it doesn't change he went out of his way to tell them not to look/follow him for what he's about to do with the higher ups. Theory wise, gojo being brought back like this is dull (but plausible i suppose) (also thinking about it would that Really be gojo? We saw that toji still didnt come back normal, and wasnt it stated that the toji that did come back was more of just the memories of the body rather than the person himself? Idk. Anyway)

Additionally, Yuta, altho caring for Gojo, is still falling back to the mentality that made Gojo alone (the "Strongest" vs Gojo Satoru). Yuta himself wanting to sacrifice his humanity so everything Gojo did wouldn't be moot while still using his body, which inherently disrespects him as a person, is a hyprocritical and flawed way of thinking that makes him interesting for me now lmao. He cares for him a lot, but he has to resort to it as a means to an end. Also I don't care if he dies, in fact the idea of him living while still in gojo is just weird tbh so i really dont see a way put of that? Im kinda just interested to see what happens tbh

I'll be real; I can see both points in how ppl think this is a cool chapter vs ppl thinking it sucks. It is surprising how very Neutral I am on this bc I personally feel like the explanations given made sense to me in the chapter.

I don't think this took away from Yuta's character, nor did it take away from what we've seen before; Yuta is not Yuuji. Yuta has shown that he can kill people. He only sparred Uro and Ryu bc of the rule to be able to transfer points. He admits that he "cheated" in the past month. Yuta is very aware of what decisions are wrong but still does them bc its for the best outcome, even if it means losing his own humanity. Yuta wants the best for Gojo but still looks at it in a flawed way. Yuta is unknowingly falling into Sukuna's/Uraume's ideology.

Yuuji is the only one so far in the series that continues to be filled with regret from killing and still wants to do better. He is forced to dissociate his self-identity to cope with his actions. He has said he would eat anything to defeat Sukuna, effectively throwing his humanity, but does not do so at the expense of other ppl (see Yuji's conversation with Higuruma before shinjuku). Yuji looked past Gojo's infinity so he could give encouragement, even tho everyone else was afraid. Yuji is the antithesis to Sukuna's view of the world

Yuta is not Yuji, and I think that's the point.

I don't think one is better than the other, I simply find this contrast to be interesting when u look at it in the grander theme of change and tradition within jujutsu society.

Scorpion recognize bi Han for a long time and scorpion is very curious.

Scorpion: bi Han, is that you?!

Bi Han: yes, it is me.

Bi Han: dead? No I'm still alive. You might think I'm dead but I'm not. I was brainwashed and turn into the undead form for a long time.

Shimmer walks out of the door, so bi Han can have conversations with scorpion.

Sektor: What's Going on.

Shimmer: He needs some one and one time with scorpion.

🍎👑Shirayuki-Hime RP

Aka

Snowhite with the red hair Rp

╔═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╗

I love you

Not only for who you are.

But also for who i am,

when i am with you.

╚═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╝

A next gen oc x oc rp. This roleplay will be based on the anime/manga Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. 20-25 year have passed, and Clarines is preparing itself for the next King.

King Izana's wife passed away, and now its up to the son of prince Zen & Shirayuki to inherit the seat as king.

But then he meets this ordinary girl who happen to be into herbs like his mother did, and becomes the next royal herbalist apprentice.

As if history repeats itself.

And it does, for so far. I really wanna recreate the fluffy and cuteness from the anime/manga. But in their own way.

A typical 'dont they remind you of us, when we just met?'

The difference with the anime/manga is, that this boy actually is the next in line for the throne, instead of being the second prince. Obviously Zen and Shirayuki will be his parents. And i kinda wanna add a slightly supernatural theme as the boy has been cursed since birth, and turns into some kind of demon during full moon. But nobody knows this, instead of his family and those he trust. (The demon thing will make sense after i show you his faceclaim xD(but we can leave it out if you want)

Obviously, one of the tasks of the new herbalist girl, is to find a cure for him.

This roleplay will be a MxF, Oc x Oc, but some canon characters from the original series will definitely return!

Think about Zen, Shirayuki, Obi, Ryu, Mitsuhide, Izana etc.

This rp might involve nsfw, but lets build it up please!

I really wanna add the fluff, the cuteness and the slowburns from the original series.

Ive been rping for +10 years and im looking for someone who has at least a few years rp experience. Who can come up with fun ideas and is able to make cliche into a fun and fluffy cliche!

Also, literate please🙏

[calowlmitygoddess]

by @/creatackers Mic. Oc related questions!

* Who was your first ever OC? Do you still “use” them? How have they evolved over time? The first oc i had was a self insert named simply Dragon-Girl, eventually i gave her a real name but it was still based on my irl name. Nowadays while she still exists in one of my stories, she's a background myth, a primordial god-figure known as The Archivist

Who is your newest OC? Why did you make them? My PC character in Baldur's gate 3, they're a red dragonborn sorcerer with gold dragon heritage and i think they are neat

Biggest self-insert OC? Intentionally, the first oc mentioned, accidentally i think Aster, he's like THE most wish-fulfilment character i have

What kind of music do your OCs listen to? I have so many characters it really depends. None of them listen to anything out there tough

What are some of your OCs biggest fears? I remember i used to have a character with a very specific fear , but i dont remember who or what it was .w.

Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them? Yes, so many, i try my best to fit characters in stories but since i also like to design/buy designs from others i ended up with quite the backlog of unused characters. Ideally all of them would have their turn to shine, but thats unlikely

What are your favourite relationships between your OCs? (romantic or platonic!) SO many. Akila Shadlan and Ryu sibling fuckery, Akila and Althia toxic old woman yuri, Erigon, Kyran and Garlasia Epic codependency, Imay and Hiraki sibling fuckery, Aster and Raine marriage goals. ANd ofc the stars of my current wip, Meira, Wisteria and Orick, The avatar of relationships, able to contain fluff and angst in equal measures

Do you have any OC family trees? YEs, i have an unfinished one, for my old project, and in fact all main characters in that story are somewhat related since they all are connected to the three god siblings

Favourite OC? Akila, she has been living rent free in my mind for like 3 years now. Shes my poor meow meow, my rotten soldier, my silly little boy, my blorbo if you will. Shes the main force behind the story she is for and i think i did a good job with her character.

OC you most struggled to make? at first, Wisteria i think. She felt very flat as her first concept was just 'nice queen everyone loves' but now that ive spiced her up a little she has unfolded.

* Sum up one or more of your wips! My Big Wip that wont see the light of day in years but lives in my head rent free: Big Sibling Spat dooms the world. But then one of the siblings die and now the other two are very pissed and its everyone problem now. Wip two currently being worked on: Three idiots keep being put in Situations until they all fall in love

Which story took the most research? Imagine researching for any story LMAO

Which story has the most lore? Big wip, it has like 10 years worth of miscelanious lore.

Current word count of all your main wips? My only current wip is on almost 40k words wohoo

How many projects do you have going on right now? Are there any that you doubt you’ll ever finish? Currently one, the rest are all ideas i HOPE to get to one day, but i do worry i might not due to my skill level

What was you first major project? How far along is it? Currently working on it! just passed the halfway point a month ago and havent worked on it since

What are some tropes and character dynamics found in your wips? Female protagonists+ mostly female cast, Heavy fantasy, Trios, Dragons, Autistic coded Magic specialist guy in a relationship with a redish dragon-adjacent person.

Describe the setting of one or more of your wips Big wip is a heavy fantasy setting that takes place both in Hell dimention and Mortal dimention, its literally what you get when you google Fantasy Landscape, also a mix of tech/magic. Current wip is more lax, i imagine it being a mix of medieval-pre industrial aesthetic, there are some big technologic developments happening but still very early.

What are some things that inspired your stories? Real events? Maybe a dream? Many things, so many things. Mostly other media. Current wip started as a HK fanfic idea i had.

What story are you the proudest of? Why? Big Wip even tought it doesnt really exist, is the one im most passionate about. Current Wip has grown on me tought, thought my satisfaction with it fluctuates, im proud that it exist in some form, but deeply unsatisfied with how...flat some of it is

* When did you start considering yourself a writer/artist? somewhere back in my teens, i think;

What are all the “kinds” of writing/art you do? (short stories, poetry, screenplays, digital, painting, clay, etc.) I draw aside from writing prose. Tried picking up other artistic hobbies like sculpiting and piano but those felt trought

Are you in any writer/artist groups? (Ex: discord server!) a few!

Do you have/want a career in your medium? If not, what do you do/want to do instead? No, i tried and it made me deeply unhappy. Im now hoping to be able to go into paleontology.

What’s your favourite genre to write? Is it also your favourite genre to read? FANTASYYYYY FANTASYYYYY, im a fantasy conosceur, the fact my wip is a more grounded romance thing makes me want to chew drywalls

What are your favourite books? My confort books are the Seven Realm series, very confy fantasy. The Locked Tomb is the one i love the prose the most, absolutely insane series.

What are your favourite movies? i dont really watch movies, really do like the first how to train your dragon movie

Favourite songs at the moment? depends on the moment, not really listening to any on repeat rn

What was your first fandom you were in? Did you make any art/fanfic for it? Voltron Legendary Defender, did art exclusively of my queen, my beloved Honerva

How are you doing? <3 pretty good!

[ryunumber]

Do either of Paul Erdős or Kevin Bacon have a Ryu number? Does Ryu have an Erdős or Bacon number?

From the top: Paul Erdős, for all of his prolific mathematical contributions, doesn't appear to be in any video games. Granted, it's not like there's great documentation for mathematicians that are in video games. The only method I could find easily is through Great Scientists and Engineers in Civilization games, and Erdős doesn't crack that list. Thus, Paul Erdős does not have a Ryu Number.

As for Kevin Bacon, Topher Florence in a 2019 Fanbyte article gave Kevin Bacon a Ryu Number of 6 (UPDATE: now 5 with Ryu’s inclusion in Brawlhalla) (UPDATE 2: 4, courtesy of @kchasm) through Bacon's sole video game credit as a celebrity guest appearance in You Don't Know Jack Vol. 2.

There are three caveats that I've discovered while doing additional research, however.

First, the path goes through the trivia game TV Land Presents: Blast from the Past, a video game that definitely exists but has virtually no documentation outside of a cast list, so it's a somewhat small leap of faith to use it.

Second, Florence mentions that American radio announcer Gary Owens is the narrator for Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers and refers to himself, out loud, as Gary Owens. Both of which are true... just not at the same time. Owens was the narrator for Space Quest IV, but at least as far as online transcripts and the Space Quest Omnipedia can attest to, the narrator only explicitly refers to himself as Gary Owens in Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier. So does this mean that the narrator voiced by Gary Owens in Space Quest IV is also explicitly Gary Owens? I mean, most likely, but also unless there's a line that implies the narrator in 6 is or is not the same narrator in IV, it's not 100%?

Third, the link from Owens to King Graham is through a brief cameo in Space Quest IV of someone getting carried away by an eagle in direct reference to King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!. The sprites are nearly but not quite identical, but what complicates matters is that apparently in the game files that person is identified as Maharg. So on one hand, the sprite is just about identical, but the person in Space Quest IV is named something different, but it's also just as likely that it was a cheeky touch by a Sierra dev and not meant to signify a different character?

The first caveat has to be accepted to give Bacon a Ryu Number (and in all likelihood, it's probably fair game). The second and third caveats, however, can be bypassed, but it gives Kevin Bacon a tenuous and possibly unprecedented Ryu Number of 7 (UPDATE: now 6, see above update), barring an alternate route I overlooked.

As for Ryu's separation numbers, it is extremely difficult for a fictional character to have a movie credit (but not unheard of) and near impossible for a fictional character to coauthor a research paper, so Ryu does not have a Bacon or Erdős Number.

But just for the hell of it:

Ryu's single theatrical movie depiction is in 1994's Street Fighter portrayed by Byron Mann, who per the Oracle of Bacon has a Bacon Number of 2.

Likewise, Mike Moh, the actor for Ryu in Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, a live action web series officially approved by Capcom, also has a Bacon Number of 2.

An associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at George Mason University named Yotam Gingold has an Erdős number of 3, and happens to have published a 2006 paper titled "From Rock, Paper, Scissors to Street Fighter II: Proof by Construction". And guess who’s in Figure 4?

[maxwell-grant]

Any thoughts on the recent Street Fighter 6 News from Tokyo Game Show?

Oh GOD okay there's way too much stuff to go over and I don't really pay attention to the gameplay / competitive side, but some impressions

I'm still actually kinda shocked that they are really, 100%, not even half-assed or full-assed but ten-times-the-assed, taking Street Fighter to the future, coming off of IV and V. In retrospect, those games now feel like stepping stones necessary to get the franchise (and fighting games as a whole, because they all gravitate around Street Fighter's rises and falls and always have) back to a place where a project this massively ambitious could happen, and I'm still very much scared to get my hopes up even though every single trailer exceeds expectations.

I really cannot think of the last time, or any time, where a fighting game or Capcom game has been this upfront and downright brazen about all the stuff that's gonna be in it. They're not drip-feeding us gameplay modes or character reveals, the latter of which being, what, the main source of hype generation every fighting game's coasted on since IV revived the scene (or since Smash Ultimate broke sales records). It's like they are very well confident in what they're building up to here.

A small thing that I didn't notice until now but makes me really happy: All the character wallpapers in the website get their names written uniquely. Every character gets their own font on top of unique visual effects! I love this! I really, really love this, ever since I saw it in Marvel Super Heroes and MvC1 I have always wanted this to be a thing for more fighting games and more things in general. Blanka gets goofy electric monster font! Juri's looks like sinister Korean handwriting, while Dhalsim's looks like Hindi cursive. Ken gets The Batman title font mixed with Guy Fieri fire and it's a complete 180 from Ryu's calm paintbrush logo. I have never been able to gush about this before because I'd rarely seen this outside of those MvC games I listed and I love it so much, it's just, such a small thing that gets taken for granted so often. I love and always will love font choices being picked to reflect characterization.

A big thing that this trailer's highlight: Putting aside the character customization of it all, which is very cool don't get me wrong and definitely a long time coming for the series: You get to train with the World Warriors and this, more than anything else so far, really cements how seriously they're taking this. The World Warriors growing from competitors to champions to masters is something the series has been teasing and building up to for so long and only kind of living up to with some of them, so having ALL of the original World Warriors fully-fledged masters now and treated as such is already incredible, but the fact that now you get to actually train with them as part of a story mode?

It's everything, man. Everything I wanted, everything I needed, everything they should do and should have done, everything and more. It feels like they had to wait for the potential of game development to progress to this stage in order for this to possible, to actually progress Street Fighter into the real next big breakthrough for the series after SF2. This feels like the ideal world version of Street Fighter 3 more so than any of the SFIII games ever did and I say this as someone who likes SF3 and didn't just start calling Third Strike the best SF game ever after watching one EVO clip like the rest of you posers.

Couple of roster thoughts I missed the first time: I like Kimberly! She's super fun and expressive and well-animated, she's got a pretty cool gimmick, she matches really well the feel the game's going for, and she's a pretty inspired modernization of Guy's urban ninja shtick. I imagine she's gonna be an obnoxious nightmare to fight against because that's how it usually is with characters like her. I don't like her pants though and I'm kinda frustrated that we were like, this close, to finally getting a black female character in a Japanese fighting game that wasn't weirdly sexualized to some (or a thousand) degrees but, fine, the character works well and made a wonderful impression regardless and I'm glad she's become an instant fan favorite, debuting along the other fan favorite nonetheless.

Little to say on Juri other than she rocks, she looks the best she's ever looked, the new facial animations works WONDERS to sell her personality, I'm glad they scrapped everything about her V design other than her bike and phone, and her new design is brilliant. It goes back to everything that worked about her IV one but looking like that design got taken through the shredder. It's like 10% Taekwondo uniform and 90% punkass k-pop fetish maniac. Could not be more perfect for her.

We all caught you slipping those gratuitous feet shots in her trailer, Capcom. You can’t be blamed for giving this character’s fanbase exactly what they want, but you ain’t that slick.

Kinda goes without saying that all the characters are looking better than ever but, man, E.Honda looks great! I like E.Honda! I don't think most people like E.Honda and they never give him interesting things to do but I like him and I think the series would be worse off without him. I'm loving his change of outfit and oh man he’s another character who’s really benefitting from improved facial animations, LOOK at that kabuki scowl. 

Love the new weight to his animations, how it looks like they’re emphasizing the kabuki side of his design more, as well as playing up the idea that he’s this jolly freak holding a title way below his skill level, who loves fighting and globetrotting and making friends and promoting his bathhouse too much to realize how thoroughly he’s undermined his own mission of making sumo a world-renowed sport by breaking every single sumo rule there is and could be. 

E.Honda is the equivalent of a world-class chess player, diehard chess fanboy and globally-famous chess promoter who was never crowned chess champion, because he fought every chess match he ever played by eating the board and playing checkers instead. I will never get tired of having this big beautiful idiot around.

AEEEEEEEEEEEHOOOO BRASIL-SIL-SIL BLANKA HD MAIS BONITO DO QUE NUNCA

I don’t wanna get my hopes up too much but I really, really love that Blanka wasn’t left out as one of your story mode masters, and that you will in fact get to learn how to fight like him. I love his new gorilla-esque design (and he’s dressed in the Brazil flag colors too), I’m so glad that apparently we’re leaving behind the days of Blanka being the side character to Sakura and Dan. LOVE that his new voice actor is latino, and that so far the game’s marketing has done so much to emphasize Blanka as a big goofy sweetheart. Also love that the Blanka-chan dolls are a part of his gameplay now.

I love so much that Blanka’s grown up and gotten a job as a jungle tour guide, and that they took basically his joke storyline from V, with him getting cheated with mass-produced Blanka-chan dolls until finding a way to kinda sell them in Japan, and developed it into an actual story and extension of his growth across the past games: He’s trying to get famous with those dolls and his new job so he can provide for his mom as best he can. It’s adorable and sad at once and I can’t wait to see what his story role looks like.

KEN I’M SORRY ANYONE EVER DOUBTED YOU INCLUDING ME

EVERYONE PEGGED YOU FOR A DIVORCED JOKE BUT YOU WERE OUT THERE PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE LINE AND FIGHTING TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY (AND RANDOM DOCK WORKERS) SAFE WHILE ALSO BEING A MILLION TIMES COOLER THAN YOU EVER WERE BEFORE

Starting tomorrow (possibly today in Japanese time by the time I post this), another quasi-state-of-emergency is due to begin in Tokyo and at least 12 other prefectures, following record-setting new cases in both Tokyo and Osaka. Omicron is doing the numbers once more, in a country that has 80% vaccination, but a mere 1.2% booster rate. This after quasi-emergency measures in Okinawa, after increasing Omicron cases from the US military bases had spilled into the greater population, prompting restrictions on activities outside the bases by military personnel posted there.

It's unknown how much wrestling will be affected by this; Dragon Gate has already said their show in Mie this Sunday 1/23/2022 may be postponed or cancelled due to this, but have not seen any other announcements so far. We will keep you posted.

New Japan Pro Wrestling

The first NJPW tour of 2022 began in earnest today, and you can see it now on NJPWWorld. This is the first New Year Golden Series since 2005, but was a regular year-opening tour from 1974-1990. Kosei Fujita injured his shoulder in training, and has been pulled from events through the end of January. Hopefully he will be able to return later in the tour.

Results:

New Years Golden Series - 1/20/2022, Tokyo Korakuen Hall (NJPWWorld, ABEMA)

Great O-Khan [United Empire] d. Yuto Nakashima (5:35)

Hiromu Takahashi [Los Ingobernables] d. Ryohei Oiwa (Boston Crab, 7:24) 

Tiger Mask IV & Togi Makabe d. Taiji Ishimori & Jado [Bullet Club] (Tiger > Jado, Reverse Double Armbar, 8:59)

Toru Yano [CHAOS], Satoshi Kojima & Tomoaki Honma d. Minoru Suzuki, Taichi & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG] (Kojima > TAKA, lariat, 9:12)

Master Wato, Ryusuke Taguchi & Hiroyoshi Tenzan d. El Desperado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & DOUKI [SZKG] (Wato > DOUKI, Bendabar, 10:51)

Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & YOH [CHAOS] d. EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Dick Togo & SHO [Bullet Club] (Ishii > Togo, Vertical Drop Brainbuster, 11:41)

Tetsuya Naito, SANADA & Shingo Takagi [Los Ingobernables] d. Kazuchika Okada [CHAOS], Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yuji Nagata (Naito > Nagata, Destino, 20:16)

Naito gets the win, and declares not only does he want to beat “the strongest man in NJPW,” but also declared he wants to return to the main event of the Tokyo Dome on January 4, 2023. Ishii tortured Dick Togo a bit post-match. Hiromu challenged Oiwa to Y10,000 of pocket money if he was able to remove the pseudo-Kamaitachi mask that HIromu was wearing. Oiwa did so, but Hiromu had ANOTHER mask on underneath. Hiromu tapped Oiwa out anyway.

If you have a premium subscription to NJPW’s website you can now see a digitized version of the 1978 New Year Golden Series program, which advertised among other things, a board-of-nails match between Antonio Inoki v. Umanosuke Ueda on 2/8/1978 at Tokyo Nippon Budokan. I bet THAT was a thing.

The tour continues tomorrow, but the show will be on tape-delay on NJPWWorld, not a live stream.

- 1/21/2022, Tokyo Korakuen Hall (Tape delay on NJPWWorld)

Ryohei Oiwa v. Great O-Khan [United Empire]

Yuto Nakashima v. BUSHI [Los Ingobernables]

Tiger Mask IV & Yuji Nagata v. Taiji Ishimori & Gedo [Bullet Club]

Toru Yano [CHAOS], Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma v. Minoru Suzuki, Taichi & DOUKI [SZKG]

Master Wato, Ryusuke Taguchi & Hiroyoshi Tenzan v. El Desperado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG]

Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & YOH [CHAOS] v. EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Dick Togo & SHO [Bullet Club]

Kazuchika Okada [CHAOS], Hiroshi Tanahashi & Satoshi Kojima v. Tetsuya Naito, SANADA & Shingo Takagi [Los Ingobernables]

Dragon Gate

Dragon Gate was in Nagoya this past Monday.

Open The New Year Gate 2022 – Final Burst Out! K-Ness Forever Night 8

- 1/17/2022, Aichi Nagoya Tsuyuhashi Sports Center

Takashi Yoshida, Kota Minoura & Jason Lee d. Dragon Kid [HIGH-END], Riki Iihashi & Ishin Iihashi (Yoshida > Ishin, CC2019, 11:08)

Keisuke Okuda [HIGH-END] d. Ryu Fuda (Buzzsaw Kick, 4:42)

Strong Machine J, Strong Machine F (Don Fujii) & Strong Machine G (Gamma) d. Mondai Ryu, Shachihoko Machine (Shachihoko Boy) & Konomama Ichikawa (J > Ichikawa, Kneel Kick, 0:10)

Strong Machine J, Strong Machine F (Don Fujii) & Strong Machine G (Gamma) d. Mondai Ryu, Shachihoko Machine (Shachihoko Boy) & Konomama Ichikawa (G > Ryu, lariat, 0:12)

Strong Machine J, Strong Machine F (Don Fujii) & Strong Machine G (Gamma) d. Mondai Ryu, Shachihoko Machine (Shachihoko Boy) & Konomama Ichikawa (Triple Pinfall, 3:53)

Big Boss Shimizu [Natural Vibes] & Takuma Fujiwara d. Ultimo Dragon & Takumi Hayakawa (Shimizu > Hayakawa, Big Boss Press, 9:19)

Dragon Dia & Yuki Yoshioka d. Ben-K & Kagetora [HIGH-END] (Dia > Kagetora, Reptilian, 12:51)

Kzy, U-T & Susumu Yokosuka [Natural Vibes] d. KAI, Shun Skywalker & HYO (U-T > KAI, Passion, 15:42)

Not a good couple of weeks to be KAI, as now U-T has a challenge back pocketed if KAI succeeds against Cyber Kong on 2/4/2022. I bet that comedy triple shot was a hoot. Okuda v. Fuda is threatening to be quite a rivalry.

The next show is on Saturday 1/22/2022, from Kobe, and will be streamed live on Dragon Gate Network.

  DDT / Tokyo Joshi / GANBARE Pro

Tokyo Joshi ran today, continuing the Futari No Princess Max Heart Tournament 2022.

TJPW Tokyo Joshi 2022 Winter - 1/20/2022, Tokyo Shinjuku FACE (Wrestle Universe)

The semi-finals will come soon. Maki Itoh may have a challenge to her title coming from Yuki Kamifuku now.

That’s it for me today. Kind of a slow week thankfully. NOAH, AJPW, STARDOM, DG, NJPW, a whole bunch of shows this weekend to keep oneself busy. NJPW Strong on Saturday night, and even GCW on PPV on Sunday night. See you Sunday.

Rairyu - IRL - 1

[lit. Thunder Dragon] Ryuji and Futaba promised to meet in Sword Art Online with Ryuji going in first to scout for suitable grinding areas. However, before Futaba could get into the game, Sojiro stopped her and revealed to her the status of Sword Art Online as a Death Game. [Prologue is an entry for #kissryujiday]

note:  This work is inspired by the crossover between Sword Art Online and Persona 5 in Integral Factor. This is also my entry for #kissryujiday

FFN I AO3

-----

Ren was in the middle of class when his phone rang. The ring disturbed the class that he had to excuse himself from the teacher and his classmates as soon as he saw the name of the caller.

“No matter.” The teacher spoke. “You can answer the call right here, we’re done for the day.” He dismissed.

“Stand!” The class representative stated as the class followed the instruction.

Ren tuned out the class dismissal ritual in favor of answering his phone.

“Makoto, what’s wro-“

“It’s Ryuji.” Makoto stated somberly. “He’s trapped.”

“What do you mean he’s trapped?” Ren questioned in worry.

As if on cue, the phones of the entire class, even the exiting teacher’s phone, rang. Ren noticed that everyone mirrored his expression of worry.

“Makoto, what going on?” Ren asked. “What happened to Ryuji?”

“He’s trapped inside a virtual world.” Makoto answered.

“Tell me everything later.” Ren decided. “Call everyone else we’ll meet at Leblanc.”

“We’re meeting there as we speak.” Makoto informed. “Futaba and Sojiro are presently in Ryuji’s apartment.”

------

After a quick change of clothes and a quick message to his parents of his whereabouts, Ren immediately boarded a train to Shibuya, with Morgana in his bag.

“What’s Ryuji done now?” The cat whined.

“I don’t know.” Ren answered honestly. “Considering Makoto’s words and the current news, it’s not something he’s done.” He explained. “It’s someone else’s deed.”

Morgana decided to take a peek at Ren’s phone and he read about the current Virtual Game news about 213 people being dead because of the virtual reality equipment. He remembered Ren and Ryuji’s conversation about the Virtual Reality a few months and how Ryuji got enough money to purchase one.

“Maybe it’s a prank.” Morgana offered. “You know how of a jokester he can be.”

“Maybe.” Ren shook his head. “I don’t think even Ryuji or Futaba would go that far for a joke.” He added. “In any case, we’ll know more once we arrive.”

------

As soon as Ren arrived at Leblanc, he half-expected things to just be a prank. He really hoped that everything was just a prank just for him to ditch his hometown and visit Tokyo.

But no.

He arrived to a scene where everyone was somber. An inconsolable Futaba as Makoto and Anne tried to comfort her with Yusuke and Haru looking at their youngest member, unsure what to do.

Ren and Morgana also noticed the absence of one Ryuji Sakamoto.

Usually it was Ryuji who would console anyone in a heartbeat, would console Futaba in this situation, but he wasn’t here.

“It’s all my fault!” Futaba sobbed. “I-I-I-”

“Ren.” Yusuke and Haru announced his arrival.

“Glad you could come on short notice.” Makoto offered a sad smile.

“I came as soon as I could.” Ren replied. “I’ve read the news.” He continued. “Is it true?”

“Yes.” Anne looked away from their leader. “Ryuji was even the first to exit the school as soon as it ended.” She explained. “He said he and Futaba were going to play for a few hours.”

Ren looked at the inconsolable Futaba.

“Boss managed to stop Futaba from playing the game.” Yusuke explained. “As soon as the news broke out, he immediately left and went to his residence.” He continued. “He left the café in Haru’s care that was when I arrived here.”

“Boss is at the hospital with Ryuji’s mother.” Haru informed. “He and Futaba managed to stop her from removing the Nervegear from Ryuji’s head.”

“Futaba-chan, it wasn’t your fault.” Anne comforted her. “You couldn’t have known that this would happen.”

“He told me that he’d go in first and scout for suitable leveling areas then we could party together.” Futaba sobbed. “If that stupid teacher didn’t hold us back for some stupid announcement then maybe Ryuji wouldn’t be alone in there.” She continued.

“No.” Ren declared. “Futaba no, just no.” He shook his head as he approached the youngest girl in the group. “If anything Ryuji would be happy that you didn’t make it.” He offered the young girl a smile and knelt before the girl. “If anything, Ryuji would beat himself up if you were caught up in there with him.” He added. “So don’t blame yourself.”

“I agree.” Morgana seconded. “As much as he annoys me, he’s very selfless.”

“It makes you think.” Anne voiced out. “We almost lost him a bunch of times because of his selfless nature.”

“I just hope he won’t commit suicide in a misguided attempt to help his mother.”

“What do you mean?” Ren’s eyes narrowed. “I know he tries to help his mother by working part time.” He added. “But he wouldn’t go that far. Would he?”

“I don’t know.” Anne admitted. “Ryuji fell out of public favor since he punched Kamoshida.” She explained. “Everyone who knew what happened despised him.” She added. “His reputation really never recovered.”

“He’s told me about that a few times.” Ren admitted. “He cooks for his mother, he puts his mother on top of his priorities and everything.” He added. “I don’t think he’d go that far, right?”

“Don’t underestimate Ryuji’s love for his mother.” Anne countered. “He borrowed money from me just to buy his mother a souvenir.” She shared. “Despite what others may think, Ryuji’s aware of his family’s finances.” She added. “He buys his games and consoles with his own money.”

“Considering the medical fees.” Makoto hummed. “I can see how you’d come to that conclusion.”

“If only we can change Akihiko Kayaba’s heart.” Yusuke voiced out. “Maybe we can save Ryuji and everyone else.”

“Let’s not dwell on that.” Ren stated with finality.” Let’s just visit Ryuji and offer his mother some support.”

Everyone nodded.

“It’s unanimous then?” Morgana questioned.

“Yes.”

------

Hearing about the number of people trapped inside Sword Art Online versus seeing the number of people admitted into one hospital for the same reason felt different. The former Phantom Thieves of Hearts can’t place what they were feeling.

Even moreso hearing about Ryuji’s situation. The only person who actually saw Ryuji was Futaba, the rest of the Phantom Thieves were distraught, but no one could ever be ready for the terror they felt upon seeing their friend unconscious on the bed hooked to an IV and with his VR headset.

Their desire to change Kayaba’s heart was even more apparent now that they’ve seen Ryuji in such state, however they can’t.

They successfully ended Mementos’ existence from all of Japan, even the Jails that propped up recently ceased to exist after their battle against EMMA.

“This is just wrong.” Morgana whispered to himself. “Ryuji’s supposed to be brash, and loud.” He added. “Not this quiet, this still.”

“I know.” Ren acknowledged.

“Anne-chan.”Someone greeted. “Are you here to see Ryu-kun?”

The woman in question had eyes that were red from crying.

“Yes Sakamoto-san.” Anne nodded. “Let me introduce everyone else.”

As soon as introductions were done, the elder Sakamoto allowed Ryuji’s friends inside the room and lead them towards her son’s bed.

“You kids are here.” Sojiro commented. “I’m going out for a bit, anyone want me to buy something?” He asked the group.

“We’re good Boss.” Ren replied. “We ate before we rushed here.” He informed.

“Hope you didn’t deplete my ingredients.” Sojiro offered. “I’ll be back.”

Sojiro gave the group one glance before leaving the room.

“So how’d you all meet Ryu-kun?” Ryuji’s mother asked the group. “It’s kind of surprising him making a few friends considering what happened with that teacher.” She added bitterly.

Everyone else took a turn and narrated how they met Ryuji from Ren’s fateful meeting on his first day at Shujin High.

Yusuke, when Ryuji stopped him from approaching Anne.

Makoto, when she was blackmailed by the yakuza

Futaba and Haru during their lowest point.

“That boy.” The elder Sakamoto shook her head. “He can’t really leave people alone when he knows they need help.” She offered a sad smile. “Then all these misfortunes happen to him.” She sniffled. “I wonder if I’m such a failure as a mother.”

“N-No!” Anne immediately debunked the notion. “You know how much Ryuji loves you Sakamoto-san.” She assured her friend’s mother.

“B-but I can’t even defend him against his father and his teacher.” The elder Sakamoto now had tears in her eyes. “Now I can’t even save him from this death game.” She sobbed.

“Your son’s a fighter Sakamoto-san.” Ren assured Ryuji’s mother. “I’m sure he’ll fight to survive.”

“I hope so.” Ryuji’s mother cried. “I really hope so.”

-------

“I’ll be back as soon I’m rested Ryu-kun.” Ryuji’s mother stated before kissing her son on his forehead. “Your friends offered to watch over you for a while.” She smiled.

Ryuji’s mother left with Sojiro, who offered her a ride back to home. The two of them left the Phantom Thieves to watch over their friend.

“Is there some way we can help Ryuji?” Anne voiced out. “I just can’t stand that for all the things he’s done for us we can’t do anything for him.”

“If only we can use our Personas and communicate with him directly.” Futaba sniffled.

“What do you mean?” Makoto asked.

“No Futaba’s right.” Ren agreed. “Every time Navi communicates with us, her voice, for lack of better term, are sent immediately to our brains.” He explained. “We don’t exactly hear her when she speaks.” He finished.

“You’re right.” Anne’s eyes widened in realization.

“Can we send Sophie?” Haru suggested. “She’s still an Artificial Intelligence right?”

“We don’t even know if Sophie can enter Sword Art Online.” Anne sighed. “The reason she can enter Jails was that she was the prototype for EMMA.”

“I don’t know.” Ren hummed. “Don’t dismiss that idea just yet.” He continued. “We need to talk to Ichinose first.”

“What do we do in the mean time?” Yusuke questioned.

“Offer him some words of encouragement.” Ren smiled. “Hear that Ryuji!” He exclaimed. “We’re all counting on you to wake up and exit that game.”

In their own way, the thieves gave Ryuji Sakamoto moral encouragement even when he’s unconscious. They continued to do so and continued to converse anything and everything they loved about him.

-------

As time went on, Sojiro returned to the hospital. He got the thieves to return home and offered to watch over Ryuji at the hospital, provided that they walk Futaba home before they did.

The thieves nodded and went to Ryuji one by one to say their farewells and promises to return the next day.

“Make sure you survive okay!” Futaba stated in tears before she gave Ryuji a peck on his cheeks.

“For all that you’ve done, it’s time to return the favor Ryuji-kun.” Makoto smiled as she kissed the boy’s other cheek.

“We are counting on you to return to your usual boisterous self.” Yusuke stated as he kissed the boy’s forehead.

“We’ll be waiting for you Ryuji-kun.” Haru smiled as she kissed Ryuji’s nose.

“Make sure you return okay!” Anne stated as she tried to hold back her tears. “I don’t think I can take losing you the second time.” She sniffled as she kissed Ryuji’s cheeks.

“I haven’t realized before, but you’re the glue that’s keeping us together.” Morgana meowed as he stood on Ryuji’s chest. “Make sure you return and I promise not to nag on you so much.” He finished before licking the boy’s nose.

“Hey man.” Ren began. “I know how much effort you guys went through when I was stuck in juvie.” He continued. “I knew you and Makoto lead the team and others so that I could walk away and clean my name.” He smiled. “It’s my, no our, turn to make sure you get to escape that death game.” He added. “We’re counting on you to escape that game and give us more laughs and just be yourself.” Ren finished as he kissed Ryuji’s forehead before ruffling the hair that was now showing its black colored roots.

“Let’s go.” Ren announced as he faced the other Phantom Thieves.

“We’re waiting for you Ryuji.”

Another love, Chapter VIII (JuminxReader)

Author’s notes:

There’ll be here some dialogues from Jumin's route, so this chapter is slightly spoiler-ish.

Their relationship will be growing slowly into something healthier, but for now... Not really ^^'

Be aware of: strong language, angst.

Chapter I | Chapter II | Chapter III | Chapter IV | Chapter V | Chapter VI | Chapter VII | Chapter VIII (You are here) | Chapter IX | Chapter X | Chapter XI | Chapter XII | Chapter XIII | Chapter XIV |

Buy Me A Ko-Fi Have a nice reading!

"Do you like the wine? I know today's dinner wasn't planned early enough." Jumin was staring at his father blankly, almost not hearing him. Before him, at the table, next to his father, was sitting a woman. He was sure, he saw her earlier but he wasn't sure where.

"It's a bit bitter today. It was quite sudden. And it ruined my rather pleasant morning."

"Pleasant morning? I apologize, but I have something very important to tell you."

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule, Jumin," The woman said, her voice annoying, too squealing, almost like a squirrel.

"Excuse me, but who are you?"

"Oh sorry, where are my manners?" His father glanced at the woman next to him and smiled in the way, that annoyed Jumin even more. "This is Glam Choi. I haven't told you yet, but Glam here and I are seriously considering getting married. I wanted to hear your opinion and have you two meet."

The threads. Suddenly they squeezed his lungs and head harder.

"Glad to meet you, Jumin. I look forward to getting to know you," Glam said and grabbed his father's hand.

"The same here. I see." Jumin stated, stoically, thought his head was spinning already.

"I want to end up my relationship with your mother and hope you're okay with that."

"She's not even my biological mother. And I doubt your third marriage will be any more special. Just do as you please. I don't mind as long as it doesn't affect the company."

"There is one more thing," His father said, and with a corner of his eye, Jumin saw the woman smiling oddly. "I was thinking about what it would be like for you to consider getting engaged to one of Glam's students. If you marry Sarah, her student, we'll be able to buy her business "Sugar Round" at a much lower price."

The threads tightened once more. Jumin clenched his hand into a fist under the table. But his face remained calm.

"I've never heard of that company."

"It's a new company so of course, it's still small. But we can expand it if we take over," His father explained.

"Sarah, my student, is still young, but she's very capable, smart, and pretty. I'm sure you'd like her~!" Glam added in her squealing voice.

"I apologize, but I must refuse," Both his father and Glam glanced at him in a big surprise. "Father, there was no time to tell you this, but I'm already in a relationship."

The woman gasped, his father's face had an expression of a great shock, "My son, what are you talking about?"

"I have someone very special to me, so I can't marry Sarah. Besides, this marriage seems to be arranged by Glam here."

"How long does this relationship with this special person last? Why do I not even know her name?" His father seemed to lose his patience.

"We started this relationship quite recently, and since you are doing what you like with women, I decided that I did not have to explain my decisions to you."

"Quite recently? So it's nothing serious yet, " His father assessed, as if with relief. "Look, son, I'll give you time to think about it, I believe you'll make the right decision, but I'd like to suggest that a marriage with Sarah may be more beneficial to us than a relationship with some random girl."

Jumin felt something twitched on his face. His eyes narrowed, "She's not a random girl. Father, several times you've become blind to the physical beauty of a woman and made business mistakes. But this is the worst one. Please excuse me."

Ignoring his father's protests, he got up from the table and hurried to leave. He clenched his hands into fists to stop them from shaking. Surely, this was by far the biggest mistake of his father.

Your POV

You had a strange feeling that something was wrong. You had a strange need to call Jumin, but he should be at dinner with his father now, so you did not want to disturb him. It was evening, and in his large apartment, it was quiet and empty. You missed his presence and you wished that at least Elizabeth was next to you.

You took the phone in your hand and looked at the messenger. Zen was logged in.

[Y/N has entered the chat room]

Zen: Baby~ Glad you're here ^^

You: Hello, Zen. You're at home?

Zen: Yes. Just got back from my rehearsals

Zen: I'm so tired

Zen: 

[Jumin Han has entered the chat room]

You: Jumin?

You: Are you not at dinner with your father?

Jumin Han: I was.

Jumin Han: I don't like seeing you here talking with Zen

Jumin Han: and him calling you baby

Zen: 

Zen: calm your jealousy dude ;;;

Jumin Han: but there's more important matter right now

Jumin Han: my father finally lost his mind because of a woman

Zen: lol, look who's talking

You: Zen! Stop it -_-

You: What is happening?

Zen: yeah, care to explain what's going on?

Jumin Han: my father plans to divorce my mother to marry Glam Choi

Zen: 

Zen: Glam Choi?! This actress?

Jumin Han: it's not enough for him that the rumors about his relationship with women are bad for our business

Jumin Han: he wants to get me to marry a Glam's student 

Jumin Han: And thus buy her no-name company

Jumin Han: it's illogical and irrational

Zen: WHAT

Zen: dude wait

Zen: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Jumin Han: I see no reason why I should be joking about something like that

You: God... I'm so sorry...

Jumin Han: I never thought he would want to sell his own son

Jumin Han: You do not have to be sorry, Y/N

Jumin Han: This is I who must apologize

Jumin Han: That you're seeing all of this

Zen: But I thought you two ...

Jumin Han: That's true

Jumin Han: I'm glad you understand that, Zen

Jumin Han: And I wish you would remember that

Jumin Han: I'm not going to marry Sarah

Jumin Han: But I feel that my father will not give up so easily

Jumin Han: I will leave now

Jumin Han: I need to calm down before I get home

Jumin Han: To you, Y/N

Jumin Han: God, I'm glad you're waiting for me there

[Jumin Han has left the chat room]

You: ....

Zen: .... ;;;

Zen: Are you okay?

You: I'm not sure

You: But you should not worry about me now

You: Jumin...

You: He had to endure so much so far...

You: And now this...

Zen: yeah...

Zen: I might not like how he's obsessed with you

Zen: But I kind of understand he has his reasons to be unstable

Zen: But still,

Zen: I'm worried for u

Zen: Please, be careful and call me if anything happens 

You: I'll be okay

Zen: God, you're an angel

Zen: he doesn't deserve you

You: He needs me

You: And I'm not going to leave him now

You: In this situation

You: I'm sorry, Zen

You: I take my leave

You: I need to organize my thoughts

[Y/N has left the chat room]

You waited for Jumin, unable to find a place for yourself and calm down. You were worried about him. He had enough trouble dealing with emotions towards you and relative to memories of V. Besides, you knew that Jumin values ​​his father very much. And now it turned out that he was just another person who failed his trust...

How could you leave him now? You knew that what is happening between you is not healthy. And you wanted it to turn into something healthy. But if you left now... Jumin would lose his mind.

When you heard the door suddenly opens, you immediately ran to them. Jumin stood there, stiff and tense. But as soon as he saw you, his face softened so that your heart almost broke. "My love ..." You ran to him and embraced him in the waist. He returned the embrace and took a deep breath, "You are now my only constant point, please, do not leave me ..." "I would never do that..." Jumin slumped slowly to his knees and nestled his head in your belly. You stroked his hair tenderly. "I know it may sound selfish, but I would like to forget... Do not think, if only for a moment... Will you do me this honor and make me forget?" "I'd love to..." You took his head in your hands, lifted it up and he looked at you with the saddest expression you ever saw on his face. "Zen is right... I don't deserve you..." "That's absurd. Come..." He stood up as you said this. You grabbed his hand and lead him to the bedroom, "I'll make you forget."

This night, unlike the previous one, was very delicate. You were making love for a long time and slowly, whispering sweet words to each other. In the morning, when you lay in each other arms, and Jumin stroked your hair and make gentle kisses on your skin now and then, you decided to talk to him about Elizabeth. "Jumin... Are you sure you should not take Elizabeth back?" "Please, give me time to think about it. Yoosung looks after her well, I bet he is a better owner than me. " "She must miss you and cats also get used to the place." Jumin sighed, closed his eyes and pressed his face to the side of your head, "Please, just let me focus on you for a while..." "Well... I will write to him to take care of her for some time, but promise me that you will take my word into account." You felt that Jumin was nodding. His warm breath brushed your ear. When he lay with you, he was calm, relaxed as never before.

[Y/N has entered the chat room]

You: Yoosung. I talked with Jumin about Elizabeth the 3rd. Please, take care of her for a bit longer.

You: He needs some time to organize his thoughts. But I'm sure finally he'll take her back.

[707 has entered the chat room]

707: GOD SEVEN

707: Is about to

707: deliver to you

707: Some shocking news!

You: SIGH

You: What is it, Seven?

707: 

707: Love drama!

707: A love triangle!

You: .... what?

707: It's so exciting!

You: get to the point, Seven

You: We have enough problems already Seven put a link to the article. You felt shivers, you felt cold. You already suspected what you would see. However, you hoped that you were wrong. Well-known CEO Jumin Han wants to put his hands on Hyun Ryu's girlfriend?! Or maybe she belonged to him from the start? WHO IS THIS GIRL? There were also photos of your three. Jumin holding you by the hand, with obvious anger on his face and Zen facing you two, with a shocked look.

"Did something happen, my dear? You're pale. " You gave your phone to Jumin, not knowing what to say. Why? Why now?! It could not end well...

🍎👑Shirayuki-Hime RP

Aka

Snowhite with the red hair Rp

╔═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╗

I love you

Not only for who you are.

But also for who i am,

when i am with you.

╚═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╝

A next gen oc x oc rp.

This roleplay will be based on the anime/manga Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. 20-25 year have passed, and Clarines is preparing itself for the next King.

King Izana's wife passed away, and now its up to the son of prince Zen & Shirayuki to inherit the seat as king.

But then he meets this ordinary girl who happen to be into herbs like his mother did, and becomes the next royal herbalist apprentice.

As if history repeats itself.

And it does, for so far. I really wanna recreate the fluffy and cuteness from the anime/manga. But in their own way.

A typical 'dont they remind you of us, when we just met?'

The difference with the anime/manga is, that this boy actually is the next in line for the throne, instead of being the second prince. Obviously Zen and Shirayuki will be his parents. And i kinda wanna add a slightly supernatural theme as the boy has been cursed since birth, and turns into some kind of demon during full moon. But nobody knows this, instead of his family and those he trust. (The demon thing will make sense after i show you his faceclaim xD(but we can leave it out if you want)

Obviously, one of the tasks of the new herbalist girl, is to find a cure for him.

This roleplay will be a MxF, Oc x Oc, but some canon characters from the original series will definitely return!

Think about Zen, Shirayuki, Obi, Ryu, Mitsuhide, Izana etc.

This rp might involve nsfw, but lets build it up please!

I really wanna add the fluff, the cuteness and the slowburns from the original series.

Ive been rping for +10 years and im looking for someone who has at least a few years rp experience. Who can come up with fun ideas and is able to make cliche into a fun and fluffy cliche!

Also, literate please🙏

played some more super mario kart and street fighter 2 today and did p well at both if i say so myself :D i got all the way up to the last opponent before u have to fight balrog bison vega sagat without using a continue once. for me it was chun li and then i used 3 continues and decided to stop there. i was legitmately surprised how well i was doing. there were even a few matches where i did it in only two rounds and it didnt go to a third round. im basic and play as ryu but was doing p well using shoryuken and hadouken when necessary. and then in super mario kart i did the first cup on 150cc and just barely got first. literally it was down to the last track and last second i used a mushroom on a ramp and bumped into toad right at the finish line and barely passed him just barely and got enough points to be first. ive already done all the 150cc stuff but like two years ago or so so its still v difficult at times. especially 150cc since theres lil room for errors cause if u do make a mistake u lose like all ur momentum. but ya today was v clean since i got v far in street figher 2 w/o using a continue and then did that first cup in 150cc without having to do it twice or coming in like second. especially in super mario kart track memorization is a v important part of gameplay atleast when compared to modern mario karts. since drifting isnt as on rails as in the new ones cause in this one u really do have to know whats coming up and how much to drift if u wanna save a lot of time

❛ i exist too much, i feel too much,  think too much. reality is crushing the life out of me

INTRODUCING RYU HANBYUL, OUR NEWEST STUDENT WITH THE POWER OF TELEPATHY.

WELCOME TO GUMI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL FOR THE POWERED.

WHO ARE THEY?

PERSONALITY

(+) kind, captivating, earnest (–) overtrusting, insecure, clumsy

BACKGROUND

i.

here is a boy swatched in gold- the world at his fingertips.

ii.

ryu hanbyul is born in the dead of winter: a frail little thing, two months too early, but with a surprisingly strong set of lungs to make up for any future health complications he might end up with. he comes out kicking and screaming, red in the face, and it makes his father’s lips flatten in displeasure before his features smooth into an impassive gaze. despite being a wailer in the beginning, he’s quite the docile boy. perhaps a little too soft and lacking the proper bite needed to survive in a world like this, but he doesn’t consider it to be problem. that is, until he realizes that he’s destined to become the heir to a corporation he could care less about instead of his darling older sister. it doesn’t make any sense to him. she handles everything with far more grace than he ever could, like she was meant for it. her back held taut and eyes looking straight ahead- his own, slouched and looking anywhere but here.

his father’s expectations weigh on him far too heavily to even try to refute it. his critical eyes pinprick the back of hanbyul’s neck as he sits down with private tutors, trudges through the arduous piano lessons, and reads about a culture steeped in tradition. in summary, he learns how to be the perfect son and more.

it’s overwhelming and exhausting, but he should be happy because he has everything he could possibly want.

( what he truly wants is to be able to live his own life, and that’s the only thing his father can’t give him. )

iii.

the minute he rolls out of bed, something feels off. a low buzz sits at the base of his skull, and everything sounds muted. his mouth is dry and he aches all over, but he chalks it up to the onset of a cold, or maybe a mild flu, and doesn’t think that anything is amiss until he takes a step inside of school. almost immediately, it’s like he has been hit by the invisible force of a freight train. or at least, his head has. it’s the sort of agonizing, splitting pain one would associate with a migraine, and it comes literally out of nowhere. a swarm of thoughts begin to rattle inside his head, each one louder than the last.

he must look like an idiot standing in the middle of the hallway, a total deer in the headlights, so he all but hurries to the nearest bathroom stall to lock himself in and tries to fight the urge to vomit. the headache dulls into a bearable throb. the thoughts that aren’t his lessen, no longer fighting for his attention.

with shaky hands he takes out his phone to tap a quick message to his noona: something’s wrong with me. help.

in the heat of the moment, it’s inconsequential that he doesn’t know where exactly he stands with his older sister at times. there was no one else in the world he would go running first to other than her.

iv.

they become best friends through sheer force and hanbyul’s dogged persistence. he hasn’t quite managed to find the right frequency for tuning out other people’s thoughts completely. especially when they get too loud. so he ambles up to the other boy with a crooked grin ( the real one, not the practiced one ) and says, “hey! you’re trying out for the soccer team, right? let’s practice together.”

he doesn’t expect it to fall apart so quickly. hell, he didn’t expect for it to fall apart at all.

the thing is, he’s not even mad about it. who would be, when your best friend saves your life? his extended stay at the hospital is just a small blemish- because his heart is still beating and that is a miracle in itself. the doctors tell him that he’s lucky, and he’s got the scars to prove it. thin fractals of puckered pink flesh that go out and fade into tendrils.

so it kind of hurts that he never bothers to visit and laugh at the dumb jokes he cracks that the nurses can only smile politely at as they fluff his pillow. it’s not the same.

he can do the practiced smiles, the manners fit for a prince, the words that run smoothly off his tongue. but pretending not to care, he thinks, is someting he’ll never manage to perfect.

v.

home is where he’s hanging precariously on a precipice and doesn’t know how to let go. compared to home, gumi is a breath of fresh air he didn’t know he desperately needed. hanbyul is a natural disaster in the making, barely contained at the edges.

sure, he doesn’t get to study what he wants. he still attends business meetings with his father and has to hide how bored he is at all of it. but when he doesn’t make it into his father’s desired legacy, all the man does is sigh and shake his head. the disappointment in his voice is palpable when hanbyul finally works up the courage to tell him.

maybe falling will be easier than expected. all he needs to do is take the plunge.

WHAT CAN THEY DO?

TELEPATHY is the ability to mentally receive and transmit information. it involves being able to read, communicate with, or manipulate one’s thoughts.

— through mind reading, he can predict his opponent’s attacks before they even have a chance to occur. during this time frame, he is able to react quickly and put his team and himself out of harm’s way. this allows him to always be five steps ahead of everyone else and is useful as a strategist.

— he is able to implant false thoughts inside a person’s head. they must comply with his demands or what he asks for as long as it is simple and straight to the point. once done, the person will shake out of their stupor and realize that the impulsive thought was not done out of their own free will.

— although his power is primarily a defensive one, he is able to project psionic bolts of energy to overload a person’s mind. this does not cause any physical damage, but rather mental, knocking them unconscious.

WEAKNESSES —

— the thoughts of other people are always constant; as a result, his power does not work well in large crowds because he can easily get overwhelmed by being overridden with too much information. while he is able to tune out most people’s thoughts, it becomes increasingly difficult when there are a large amount of people near his vicinity.

— he needs to be within 25 feet of another person in order to use his power on them. subsequently, while he is able to filter through several peoples’ thoughts at once, he can only focus on one person at a time if he wants to manipulate their mind specifically, whether it is through illusions or another one of his tricks. because this requires concentration, he leaves his own body vulnerable to attack.

— more passive applications of his power can be used for longer without any obvious strain, but the ones that require his imagination or projections can only be done for up to three hours before fatigue sets in.

— those with physic shield or immunity are impervious to his power. likewise, mindless beings such as monsters do not have thoughts that can be read, and can only be subjected to the more offensive aspect of his power. as of now, he is only able to use his telepathy on other humans.

DID YOU KNOW?

looks like a total idiot, but is actually in the top of all his classes.
