[volivolition]

!!!!! We're SO glad you like Cosmos it's such a pretty song tbh like,,, waow,,

ok this time we have. THREE songs ok but hear me out: they go together.. u cannot separate them. sO!

first: The Heart Acoustic by Chonny Jash. This one gives off major canon Empathy vibes to us BUT for our system it's a Volition song. Either in a scenario where he's like. Unsure about his role as a Skill or as very Low levelled Volition wdk. Both r fitting to us though if that makes sense!

second: The Mind Electric, also by Chonny Jash! VERY MUCH a Logic song!! We really like these three songs and how they connect together the whole album is great in that tho it's abt these three guys just fucking FIGHTING EACH OTHER FBDBSJDJFJ but these three songs rlly show that. We see this as a song where Logic and Volition do NOT get along at all [also fun fact our Logic sounds like the dude in this song specifically. lov that 4 him <3]

third: The Soul Eclectic... Also by Chonny Jash! JFKDKDKFFK we r back on our shit [chonny jash hyperfixation <3] This one's an e-chem song 4 SURE to us but like,, Signature Skill Electrochemistry. less "hey do this thing to make yourself happy :3" and more "DO WHAT I FUCKING SAY EVERYONE OR ELSE :^)" sorta vibes FJDJDJFJ

the three songs tell a story of Heart and Mind fighting for control over the lead singer and they both want him to do vastly different things meanwhile Soul is like..... Listen. I need you both to shut the fuck up or I'll just KILL YOU. and our interpretation of the songs w the skills isn't quite like that it's less,, violent. more like "listen to me because I'm signature skill and harry listens to ME so shut it a bit" does that make sense it's 2 in the morning and we're TIRED lmao

anyways!!! all great songs, if you like these three PLEAZE let us kno bc chonny has a looottttt of good shit and we'd be so happy to send you more of his songs omg we lov his music so much

oh ive seen you mentioned these before i think!! :D ive listened to the original mind electric, and i LOVE how he's played with the concepts and melody?? i listened to this version with all three of them (i will not separate them dont worry hkjgh <33) and your interpretation is VERY COOL!! :D

more thoughts below the cut :]

oooh very orchestral and dramatic? i love all the lyrical replacements and all the nods back to the original too ough... i love cool fucking words hkjhg i understand the volition standpoint with "That’s what I’ll say to rationalize / I’m needed if we’re to stay alive." YEAH I SEE IT!! "see how the mind tricks the so-O-O-OUL~!!" MM GOOD SHIT, with the pauses in between? "do what you want, you automaton freak / no, i can no longer bring myself to care" FUCHFKH LMAO...? YOUR TURN BUDDY. man this is so cool...

:0 hell yes, logic you have an EXCELLENT voice, we all love this for him <3 "my logic is the absolute / his pity parties simply harm these chances at an apt repute" DUDE THESE FUCKING RHYMES!! HELL YES!! I LOVE WORDS!!! RUAHG!!!! i love that this one sounds more digital than the last one? OH wait i get it, the heart's acoustic and the mind's electric, man that's so cool... and also REALLY MEAN, lots of insults HKJHG but very amusing, THE GIRLIES ARE FIGHTINGGGG!!

soul starting with "Yo." fucking hgkjhg?? love that. this one OUGH... the BEAT, the vibes are so much more intense now, like oh shit okay!! boss music!! kill, then!! ooh i love heart and mind singing at the same time but different lyrics... oh nooo little guy don't... oh no the implications of the ending, no little fella noooo... :'] its very commanding, it does fit a cool skill signature, go e-chem go!! EVERYONE ELSE BE!! A LITTLE QUIET!! hkjhg

ough these are so cool, low psyche, high int, higher physique build :0

oh if this is something i also listened to The Bidding from Chonny (and watched the music video! its good fucking animation i love how theyre portrayed as little guys :3 the "WE COMBINED??? NO WAY GUYS!!!!!" WE LOVE TO SEE IT HDJKH) they did it!!! they worked together for a little bit!!! :D!! yayayayay!! also a cool one <3 if you would like to tell me thoughts on this one i will gladly send you an ask!! <33

thank you for sharing!! i always appreciate you :] <333

sorry i keep thinking everyone just needs to fuck each other. imagine rinne and hiyori working out like fuck buddies system bc theyre both whores at heart and theyre roommates so~ if they cant find anyone to fuck that night theyll just fuck each other! kanata maybe joins in sometimes if he's awake but usually just tells them to at least keep it down while he sleeps. works out well with my hc of rinne and hiyori being into exhibition lmaoo

i think there's a similar arrangement between ritsu and mika too btw. esp since its just the two of them. if you step into that room before they have time to hide stuff, it just toys and bdsm shit everywhere

- 💚

god okay now that you’ve brought up roommates I need to talk. fully agree with ritsu and mika they 100% fuck whenever they feel like it. they’re both kinky as hell there’s no way they havent fucked at least once. rinne deffo gets down with whoever is willing, and tbh kanata doesnt mind since he’ll soak in the tub while they fuck. least he can do for having the water bill so high is deal with some moaning, even better if he gets to join.

I’ve been thinking about the maokuroizushu dorm just fucking the natsunazuleo dorm bc you’ve got izu fucking leo bc they deffo already do in florence and leo is needy, kuro just absolutely domming nazu (ultimate size kink pair ngl) with maybe shu joining if he happens to be in japan. maonatsu would be more like hate sex but also bc they’re both a bit pent up and I think natsume needs someone else to be masochistic to in bed besides mugi.

also rei and eichi. definitely fuck when they’re alone you cannot tell me otherwise

there’s probably other dorm arrangement gold I’m missing but this is what I’m thinking abt for now

[chiisana-lion]

hiii mika and tetora for the ask game

WAHOO

Mika

Sexuality Headcanon: whatever the hell is going on w him and shu

Gender Headcanon: hes also a boygirl girlboy to me. maybe neither. honestly hes more akin to a cat if anything

A ship I have with said character: i dont talk about them nearly enough as i should but shumika is literally my entire being their growth is sooo good and not even necessarily romantic theyre just. theres something wrong w them both please never include anyone else in whats going on there. i also like ritsu/mika theyre rly cute!!

A BROTP I have with said character: naru/mika the best friends who are always flirting the world. yuzuru and mika also i like them a lot and NAZUNA and also the rest of ra*bits i think they should get along AND JUN I RLY LIKE HIS FRIENDSHIP W JUN they probably just talk about their respective ohiisan and oshisan for ages

A NOTP I have with said character: none rly!

A random headcanon: Every time shu comes back from france he does his best to meet him pick him up from the airport personally but really just ends up jumping at and clinging onto him for the rest of the day

General Opinion over said character: he was the first character i got attached to and was interested in in the first place, still holds the #1 spot for favorite charcter overall im listening to kohaku to ruri no rondo as im typing this. his voice is soo nice and i think abt him too hard too much just his utter love and devotion for valkyrie rly gets me and growing as his own person and learning boundaries and such etc and just!! learning to value himself a bit more too. human comedy absolutely wrecked me hes my best friend my sad sopping wet cat born in a cardboard box all alone ily mika kagehira

Tetora

Sexuality Headcanon: bisexuality!!!

Gender Headcanon: transmasc 👍

A ship I have with said character: tetohina is really cute :']]

A BROTP I have with said character: everyone in ryuseitai once again dont separate them ever. also gender dorm <33 and hiiro!! karate club buddies i should read motor show again too AND KURO OFC

A NOTP I have with said character: w kuro

A random headcanon: since he got a piercing now i like to think arashi gave him these cute tiger shaped earrings as a gift once!!

General Opinion over said character: i rly like him :] supervillain/universe rly. got to me even if overall it was kind of a :| story but man tetora hes really been going through all that since ryuseitai-n was dissolved im glad theyre all finally settling at a point where they can go forward together as co-leaders despite the current unit system kick ES' ass power rangers!!!

[vampireloverz]

ahh omg thats so good to hear! cyberpunk is really fun and the art is amazing from the trailers ive seen... makes me want to get into it..

but as for me! ive been floating about and i touched upon buddy daddies, its a rather new spring anime and it has my heart

— gow anon

i cannot be normal abt the game at all i love it sm! like genuinely one of my favorite group of characters from an rpg, theyre so well written and loveable ! and hateable and fuckable hdkcndkfn if u can play i would give it a shot! tho dont judge it too much on last gen systems T_T

aah ive seen so many screenshots of that show! idk anything abt it besides a vague found family kinda deal 🤔 do u think i should watch it ? :o

[molabuddy]

i dont have any art of them on-hand, but jackie and flower (self-given names Since They forgor their old ones) are two octoling ocs who have been rotating in my brain... jackie is quite catious, prone to anxiety, can be quite cynical and standoffish but only outwardly. flower was very carefree and optimistic, wore her heart on her sleeve. a bit air-headed maybe.

the two of them both ended up in the deepsea metro seperately, meeting eachother shortly after and bonding over how theyre both Probably from the same place, they've both lost their memories and they're both Lost and Confused. they decide to tackle the tests buddy system. they help eachother come up with their new names bc they can't remember their old ones. they start to bond and be friends yknow :] they only really have eachother in this dark place..

flower is completely trusting of the telephone, and surges forward with the tests, so excited to get to the surface!! jackie is a little bit more hesitant and untrusting of this all, but isn't really sure what to do abt it.. eventually goes from helping with tests to just watching flower progress from the sidelines..

and then flower collects the four thangs. and then jackie can only watch as flower gets.. um. blended.

and jackie learns that she was right! but at what cost!

AUGH... i thought about jackie and flower again..

[retrievaldivision]

comparing how we've seen dispatch operate in manga canon to the BITE model for cult identification <3

putting this all under a readmore for thorough discussions of cults and suicide . heres my meta everyone

so basically. imho dispatch operates like a cult and will grelle ron and othello need to dip asap and ut had the right idea for leaving. this is basically evidence for my theory that at some point its going to get revealed that the "higher ups" are uhhhh. fucked up actually and the squad is getting emotionally manipulated. alright lets get to it

starting off w behavioral control letsgo

"promote dependence and obedience"

-so the big thing that signifies this in canon for me is the fact that . as sascha talked about in ch 105 (#brainwashedgirlqueen) the reapers are dependent on dispatch and the higher ups for forgiveness of their sin. if they dont play by their rules theyre not getting out of punishment purgatory

"modify behavior with rewards and punishment"

-remember when grelle was gone for an arc and then came back in campania and was like haha yeah ive been on suspension . i mean. there it is. theres definitely an argument to be made here about the fact that grelle was killing random ppl and like yeah definitely wld call for uhhh not being in public However-- why i kept this in was bc like . yeah she was being suspended for doing some mass murder etc-- but she was also being suspended bc she fully left dispatch during that time. like she was off with angelina pretending to be her butler not @ hq literally in disguise and thats why will had to come get her ass in the first place. which i think should be pointed out here

"dictate where and with whom you live"

-keeping this on here tentatively bc we dont know specifics but like. HQ. i think its important to point out that they all have this building where theyre all supposed to be

"control clothing and hairstyle"

-the suit uniform swag period.

"restrict leisure time and activities"

-again pointing out saschas monologue. the part where she points out theyre all supposed to be "worked to the bone".

-in the extended version of the BITE model they also talk about weaponizing keeping a cult member busy thru tasks bc if they are so pre occupied with tasks it leaves them w less time to question whats going on and . Yeah .

moving on to informational control

"deliberately withhold and distort information"

-pointing out how in campania ron and grelle had no fucking clue who undertaker was even tho he was supposed to have been a Huge Deal while he was at dispatch. why werent ron and grelle privy to this info why did they have to hear it from ut himself . unless ur deliberately withholding shit it makes no sense as to why they shldnt know abt the guy who destroyed half of HQ even if it happened before their time

"forbid you from speaking with ex members and critics"

-this is in purple and only half credited bc the strongest example i can think is from tmbd and not the manga but i still do want to bring it up (and i think is worth mentioning bc yana did draw those bitches into the manga when talking abt deserters so) but the whole. will monologue in tmbd where hes like yeah ur name will be stricken from the records . its a little uh. yeah its coded

"divide information into insider vs outsider doctrine"

-yeah so remember when the fight was about to happen in campania and grelle was like this is shinigami business stay out of it outsider to sebastian. like literally called him an outsider. its the vocabulary.

"encourage others to spy and report on others' 'misconduct'"

-for this i am citing the entirety of management div and the fact that its a thing. it can def be argued that management is also there to intervene during like very fucked situations where just retrieval div cant handle it as we've seen will do. but also like. it does seem esp w ripper arc that management div is there to narc on ppl for not following rules etc.

-Also for this one wanted to point out that in the extended BITE model they talk abt using buddy systems so like. u arent truly alone there is always someone who can rat on u . and how thru most of the arcs w reapers present theyve been in groups of two (ron and will in circus, ron and grelle in campania, sascha and ludger in green witch, othello and grelle during the whole ut standoff). again this can also be argued that theyre there for helping purposes in terms of fights But Also. its a little coded u guys imho

moving onto thought control

"instill black vs white, us vs them & good vs evil thinking"

-going to be talking abt this again for the second point but the way that specific language is used to moralize what the higher ups r asking the reapers to do. the way that the reapers describe what theyre doing as "collecting" souls whereas demons "hunt" souls even tho they are both. Taking Someones Soul. the fact that this paints their actions in a morally better light even tho it is the same action

-also wanted to point out a moment in the training ova even tho its not manga canon bc it is worth mentioning imo. will's whole monologue when hes getting his glasses where hes like. going to be "protecting" ppls souls and all of this stuff. and that these r Glasses Of Life. all of this pure morality and saviorism the reapers are being taught to attribute to them being in dispatch. Yeah.

"use loaded language and cliches to stop complex thought"

-thinking abt the v specific terms both will (current member of dispatch) and ut (ex member of dispatch) use to describe demons when they call them "vermin" like it is the Exact Same Word that they use. its again the repeated vocabulary to other and condemn demons even though they are Both Entities Who Take Ppls Souls Away. its . hmmmm. why does this not apply to u guys.

last one!

"install irrational fears (phobias) of questioning or leaving the group"

-based on the 105 info, if u leave dispatch, u r never going to be forgiven from ur "sin." even though. we've never seen this "forgiveness" ever actually happen and none of the reapers have ever indicated that anybody they know has ever actually been forgiven. its the irrational fear of not being forgiven even though attaining forgiveness has not, as we seen, been proven to actually be a real thing

"label some emotions as evil, worldly, sinful, or wrong"

-wld like to briefly point out wills monologue to ron in circus abt how having empathy is like not something that should be done

-also the whole . again with the 105 drop. the fact that dispatch is labelling having mental illness as A Sin. lol

"promote feelings of guilt, shame, and unworthiness"

-again going off of 105 . the whole reason they are there and working for the higher ups is bc they have killed themselves and feel the need to get forgiven for it. The Entire Model Of Dispatch Runs On Guilt

"shun you if you disobey or disbelieve"

-circling back to previous points made abt ut being a big deal and ron and grelle only finding out abt him when he literally spelled it out for them . like he was. all info of him was gone that wasnt firsthand witnessed once he deserted. also rons whole moment in campania i believe while hes talking to ryan where hes like i have no respect for ppl who meddle w death. and dispatch has rules against meddling w death.... hmm...

"teach that there is no happiness or peace outside the group"

-bringing up 105 again. there is no forgiveness outside of dispatch that is why they are still there this is the only way they can get forgiveness and presumably peace bc theyve righted their "sin"

in conclusion, the higher ups are fucked up and will grelle ron and othello are getting played <3 i do think this is going to be blatantly revealed at some point like. with everything ive talked about in this post . i do think there is foreshadowing directly pointing to this idea. and i think there will be a moment where will ron grelle and othello realize this . thanks for coming everyone

[pocketramblr]

Wait wait wait hold up you were in guard?? Me too!!!!! Per myers briggs, have you ever heard of cognitive functions? Bc tbh almost nobody knows abt them, but theyre like basically the whole point of the whole thing

Guard buddies!! yeah i was, for three fun years.

oh yep! thinking/feeling/sensing/intuition are, imo, the more useful parts of the system. of course, Jung originally used extroversion and introversion in a very different definition than we do today, and he didn’t really set up the cognitive functions themselves as dichotomies... but anyway yeah i think they’re a pretty good tool to use for exploring psychology and reflecting on yourself

[lorkhandreaming]

odd numbers for the sys ask meme!

oh fuck ok here we go1. Give examples of their different writing styles/handwriting.um..........we dont write ever actually but some of the guardian-type headmates have less tone in their typing, the children are more excitable and tend toward emoji use, and some dont actually speak english fluently so they dont like....type in it. yk?3. Does anyone have any weird habits that they do with the body that annoy the others?:eyes: we have a couple that will fuss with the hair even more than we usually do (Tarn, Kirk). one of the hosts (Reuben) is especially picky about the state of our nails and gets on us a little abt it but otherwise we get along p well5. Do you have any alters/headmates you keep away from your friends at all costs? (because they are embarrassing or weird)...........yeah and they dont even make it onto sys lists bc theyre in their own little section in the headspace. also like, Abel bc he’s ready to fight everyone, even our bfs (but he’s never out to do either of them any real harm, hes got some sense)7. Is anyone dating each other?:thinking: Lucifer and Lilith are married...uhhhh....there MIGHT be more but i cant recall9. If they could all choose to have their own bodies, would they?oh god you have no idea11. Do you have any members that no one ever sees or talks to?points to the first half of 5′s answer. theyre just unsafe babys so they stay in unsafe baby jail

13. How many have blogs on here that are separate from each others?HNJLGDFKGNFDGJDFNGDJFGF (counting) 19-20 bc one is iffy15. Who hates everyone and doesn’t want to be there?looking at [to laugh]17. Who would be most likely to blow all the money on food?Xarashin................they depression-eat worse than the rest of us. rip lil buddy19. Are there any familial relationships in the system? (brothers, sisters, moms, cousins, etc)OH yes. Dante and Lu both have a bunch of kids, Lu’s twin and their older bro are here, uuhhhh. their dad. ummm. Tatra’s little sibling was here for a bit? Xar and DEAN are siblings..........hmmmm. theres a lot actually

[avianhaven]

im gonna make a few more nitpicky krr posts just to get it all outta my system sry every1: post 1, abt uh imperialism ig this ended up being the topic

so krr is hm, overtly racist as if u couldnt tell that just from the overt imperialist overtones, what w the original artist being boring and making every1 rly pale and shit par that one manga easter island? character in the revealing outfit. also some weird episode involving india? that i dont think ive seen but just from the look of it seems.....bad. also minorly this keroland chara (tho i think most of those characters were made by kids so hm), also maybe that weird afro thing they do, etc.

but yeah anyway Especially the overt imperialist overtones, which like yeah just the concept i get and it’s a comedy i also get but still these things are just never addressed and it’s never rly the imperialism itself that’s played as a joke u kno? fucking rising sun flag in the first opening. and that one backstory ep when b4 first coming to earth, ep 260 maybe? it’s liget war propagonda, a parade televised b4 going off to invade and conquer like...hmm. also them getting info abt the planet theyre gonna conquer that’s mostly misinformed- >video games “they have combat training from such a young age? how barbaric” >them having gross misinformed opinions themselves, “i knew they were primitive but i didnt realize just how much so”, etc. it’s idk weird and i get they developed from that second pt but it’s still hmmmm like i feel these r things to be addressed even only slightly again i get it’s explicitly a comedy but there’s a lot of potential depth right there! u dont even have to dig it’s explicit. hm more stuff -all the kr kids being from military families? well grr and keroro at least, not drr, but still ! fucking training kids from a young age, brain washed. the platoon doesnt even rly have a good reason for wanting to invade earth/pekopon/whatever it’s sort of a “just bc we have to” thing. also derailing to talk abt dororo bc i have a bias, but uh dororo b4 coming to earth he explicitly says he’s so happy he came to earth bc he literally would not be the same person had he not, he makes it very apparent he was not happy being an assassin, it was bad, totally toxic environment, yadda yadda. that jirara ep where even the leader of the assassins defects bc he hated it too! but it’s just never brought up again i dont think?? it’s brain washing is what it is also making dororo like...a liberal. dororo wanting to protect the “peace” when he has such stringent morals uh no dororo look to the left buddy. that episode where they plant flowers illegally and they all get destroyed bc they didnt have a permit? dororo n koyuki are def the environmental terrorist types. guerilla gardening. stealing the food grocery stores throw away and freely distributing it. that kinda free range anarchy. koyuki’s ninja village was a working example of communism. hey separate note but by this logic saburo is an anarchist. keroro gunsou political alignment chart- ANYWAY yeah uh. yeah as i’ve said krr is like....deep it has a lot of worldbuilding that’s just Never expanded upon in favor of friendship and gags, which i dont mind, and uhh sexualizing middle school girls, which i do very much mind. c’est la vie?
