nanoha vivid liveblog i guess? episode 1

Some background: I watched Nanoha, A’s, and StrikerS about five years ago in my mid-teens, and also read as much of the vivid manga as was out then. So I probably have seen about as much as the anime covers, and also know a bunch of spoilers, which will show up in this often. This franchise meant a lot to me back then, and I’m suddenly reinterested in it. Feel free to ask me anything about these shows!

So I’m going to try liveblogging nanoha vivid. I figure I’ll make one long-ish post with a read more per episode so as not to clog my blog up. Also, sorry but all my screenshots have the progress bar in them, because I guess piracy does have a cost after all

This opening narration is fucking hilarious, considering how generally moe this show is It would not be out of place in a relatively dark historical show then again, this is nanoha, which is kinda famous for dark scifi worldbuilding mixed with magical girls

Whos that?I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the various rulers of the end of the Belkan War, but apparently not

OLIVIE!!!!!!!! It her!!! and is that mysterious figure possibly jeremiah girl?

And claus looking appropriately mopey

Now for the op

ITS THEM the true otp being all cute and domestic

Nove!!! Confession that I looked up all the numbers a few days ago or I wouldn’t have remembered which one she was. A good good punch girl

All the other contestants... and i dont actually remember any of them. Except for Sieg! I really liked her when I read the manga, don’t actually remember why

And the entire old gangs here Gods I still love Subaru and Teana so much Also, feels like forever since ive seen an op with the sponsor talk at the end

This reminds me a lot early nanoha Particularly vivios little side ponytail things

That is the most boring possible way to say “my mother is an s-class military combat mage”

oh gods this is sweet

shes been in combat since she was nine, cut her some slack

High fives are an objectively good family goodbye

“Four years, to be exact. When I was adopted. Because, yknow, that was very definitely a major incident”

Theyre ten, let them be goofy kids. On the other hand, those girls are probably like 14ish, so its pretty in character

@hogwarts

rio is adorably exicted about getting to learn how to punch from a convicted criminal

IT HER Gods im gay I wasn’t interested in nove at all during strikers but uh Yeah

Her last name being nakajima now is good. Nanoha is all about adopted family

Oh gods shes adorable

I appreciate that is an actual gym of normal people that is just currently being invaded by anime protagonist girls

MORE NUMBERS I DIDN’T EXPECT THIS Im really happy about this

Shes so happy about getting to teach children how to punch

All the ordinary people are visibly confused about this small child fighting a grown woman Though I suppose by some ways of looking at it, nove is like 7ish years old herself Though by those standards vivio is 4 which probably makes it worse

Domestic nanofate is just good

And fate still looks at nanoha like that after fifteen years

Pure

This setting is very chill about giving children lethal weapons

Theyre! So! Cute!

It probably would have been to much to ask for this franchise to get less nude and boob about its transformation sequences. blech. That said, this is pretty good aesthetically speaking. Lots of rainbows and stars and she punch

Oh gods they never told fate

Im picturing fate frantically worrying that she missed a few years somehow

To quote vivio, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘KINDA’!?”

~mood whiplash~

ginga! Serial assault case on hand-to-hand combat fighters who get challenged to duels is really hilarious for some reason Like, is it still assault if they agree to these fights? They presumably could decline

Larping your ancestor *something something homestuck something something*

oh she definitely thinks that mask makes her look cool and intimidating

dont make Fate cry!

though their “whoops” faces are great

Fair point! Though in fates case that’s actually a really bad example because she very much did not have a choice about that And nanoha also ended up hospitalized. So maybe not the best argument to make

nanoha is just mildly embarassed. “why yes we did have potentially lethal fights back then, didn’t we? how time flies”

these guys!

Your daughters a nerd

Ok now I have a lot of questions about midchildan religion given the reference to heaven. Because the only church weve heard about is the sanktkaiser one, and that would be… awkward for obvious reasons Reasons being that vivio is the clone of their jesus-figure

This is fucking adorable And especially given that vivio is adopted. this show is just good about family

I like to imagine that these apparently umprompted emails from vivio show up about once a week and everyone else just rolls with it

EVEN MORE NUMBERS And otto is as butch as ever, excellent

Fuck, this is where never having listened to the soundstage is going to be a problem Oh she was probably the other ruler in the opening montage

I appreciate cinque’s fashion sense

This must be a weird family dynamic, where your sister’s student is also clone-jesus and you’re a nun who gets to wear a suit

Awww Also definitely the correct way to honor your god-king who is also ten

can we see it? please?

knowing this is actually a very shy ten year old makes this all hilarious

we get it, you larp

Friends? More Like Better Enemies

Friends? More Like Better Enemies - Detective AU Series

It started three days ago.

At first, she thought it was nothing, but now...

Now Beca knew it was personal.

Monday

Lying in bed should be a good thing, right? Like a really, really good thing. But for Beca it was the complete opposite. Lying in bed meant that she had nothing to do and with two months into her suspension, that was exactly what Beca was doing.

Nothing.

Sitting up, Beca glances around her room with a sigh. She still had another month until the suspension was lifted off.

"Stupid rules," She huffs while pulling back the duvet cover. Shuffling her way into the kitchen of her apartment, Beca begins making her coffee.

And that's when she notices it.

Leaning on the counter, she brings her attention to the window that looks directly down onto the street below, right where her car is usually parked.

Oh, don't worry, it's still there... except the front window is smashed through.

"Are you kidding me?"

Pulling on her converse, Beca runs down the apartment building all in her pyjama covered glory, towards her car. Pulling the door open, she jogs out only to come to a halt.

It's not only the window that's been destroyed.

The tires have been too. And by the looks of it each tire had been slashed.

Seething, Beca kicks over the trashcan to her right... and soon realizes it was a bad idea.

"AGH!"

Tuesday

"I can't take this anymore!" The brunette says into the phone while she stands outside the mechanic's garage.

"Okay, calm it Shawshank..." Comes the reply from the Australian on the other end.

"How can I calm it?" Beca asks, pacing back and forth. "My car has been totalled, Amy. Totalled." She repeats. "And the audacity of you!"

"What did I do now?!" Fat Amy asks, sounding a little dumfounded.

"You called me Shawshank." Beca states before stopping in her tracks, "I work in a Police force." She reminds her.

"So?" Amy replies, "Doesn't change the fact that you were arrested."

"That was one time!" Beca protests running a hand through her hair.

"You were arrested by Jesse for destruction of property," Amy reminds, "Last year, Beca." She adds, her voice in a deadpan tone.

Sighing, Beca nods, "Fine, whatever..." Looking up, the brunette sees the mechanic make his way over, "I gotta go."

"A'right, talk to you-"

Hanging up, Beca pockets her phone before bringing her attention to the mechanic, "So, can you fix it?" She asks, sounding slightly hopeful. She watches as the mechanic looks to his clipboard before glancing back to her, "Yeah. We can fix it-"

"Yes!"

"-but it's gonna cost."

"Oh."

"Yeah," He says before adding, "Don't worry, it's only a few hundred dollars." He says so casually like as if telling her that is going to be reassuring.

"A few hundred?" Beca nods with a tight-lipped smile. "Awesome."

"Is there a problem?" The man asks.

"Hmm? Oh, no..." Beca trails off, tapping the tip of her shoe along the ground, "It's all good."

"Great!" The mechanic quips before motioning over his shoulder, "If you'd follow me, we can sort out the details of the payment."

"Oh, we're doing this now..." Beca mumbles surprised but follows him anyway. Stopping, and almost walking straight into the dudes back, the brunette finds herself standing at the register desk. She watches as the mechanic give's the details to the employee behind the desk before turning back to her.

"Dax here, will be able to sort out your payment." He says, "Oh, and I'm Theo," He adds with his hand outstretched, "Let me know if you need anything." He smiles.

Awkwardly, Beca's eyes move between his hand and face. "Oh, thanks... Theo." Begrudgingly, Beca lifts her hand to his, shaking it before dropping it almost immediately. "You know, I once owned a pet turtle named Theo." She says, watching him pause in place, "You actually kinda look like him."

"Lovely," He says trailing off before walking away awkwardly.

Turning to Dax, Beca focuses her attention on him, "So, how much is it?"

XxX

"What do you mean you couldn't pay for it?" Asks the Australian from across the table.

"I couldn't pay for it! My card was empty!" Beca exclaims picking up her drink. "All my money?" She says before taking a large gulp, "Gone!" She slams the glass back onto the table.

"Calm down, Mitchell," Chloe says from opposite her, "You're brining attention to yourself," The redhead states, her eyes watching over the other tables.

"I don’t care." Beca huffs, falling back into her seat.

"Oh, stop being dramatic," Chloe says, taking a sip from her drink.

"You're the dramatic bitch!"

Rolling her eyes, the redhead sets her drink back down.

"This sucks." Beca says, slouching her arms over the table. "I get suspended, my car gets destroyed and now I've been robbed from all my money!"

"You didn't have much to begin with," Chloe pipes in with a shrug, seeing the confused stares she explains, "What? Have you seen the stuff Beca owns?"

"No..." Amy says slowly. "Beca never lets us into her apartment," Grinning, she looks to the redhead, "Have you seen Beca's stuff?" She winks. "If you know what I mean," She whispers adding another wink.

Scrunching her face up at the comment, Beca directs her attention to Chloe with raised eyebrows. Looking between Beca and Amy, Chloe shakes her head, "What? No!" She laughs, taking a sip of her drink, "That's... Why would I be in Beca's apartment?" She answers, her voice suddenly high-pitched.

"You tell me, ginga." Amy says, sounding suspicious.

"You know what?" Chloe says, standing, "I don't need to be here." Picking up her jacket, the redhead stomps her way out of the bar. But before she leaves she hears Beca call back a "You're a dramatic bitch!" And not looking over, the redhead can't stop herself from calling back, "I know!"

Shaking her head with a grin, Beca takes a sip from her drink, "So easy..." She mutters to herself.

"I see you, Mitchell." The Australian says making the brunette glance up.

"Naturally enough. You're sitting right in front of me."

"No, not that," Amy rolls her eyes. "I see how you look at Chloe."

"What?" Beca asks with a chuckle.

"So, that's how you're gonna be?" Fat Amy says, shaking her head. "I knew it."

"Dude. What are you talking about?" Beca questions with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't question me," Amy says, "I am superior to you right now."

"Yeah? And why's that?" Beca asks, amused.

"Because I bought you that drink," The blonde points to the drink in question which sits in the brunette's hand. "Because I still have all my money."

"I hate you."

Wednesday

Deciding that 9am run is a good thing, Beca ties up the laces of her sneakers before jogging her way down her apartment complex.

She needs this. A good run to clear her head from all the recent events.

On her run, Beca sprints past a few birds that – she swears – death glares at her before stopping at her local diner. Thankfully she knows the old lady that owns the place, Mrs. Willsmith (awesome name) and bribes her into giving her a free coffee to go.

Thinking that things can only go up from here, Beca makes her way outside the diner with a small smile on her face.

She's only a few steps out when a stone flies her way, hitting the coffee cup causing her to drop it.

"OH, COME ON!"

Present Day (AKA Thursday)

"I'm telling you, someone is after me." Beca exclaims with her arms outstretched.

"Ms. Mitchell, I'm going to need you to calm down," Captain McKadden says from behind her desk.

"Gail. You gotta believe me." Beca pleads, rising from the chair. Seeing the other woman glance up, Beca rolls her eyes.

"Sorry... Captain." Running a hand through her hair, Beca speaks again, "Look, if you just lift this suspension, I can-"

"No."

"You didn't even let me finish-"

"And I don't need you to." Gail states. "I'm sorry, Beca. But you still have four weeks left of your suspension. Once it is over, you may come back." She says. "But for the meantime, I suggest you go home."

"But-"

"No but's, I'll send Detective Beale and Detective Swanson to investigate your... situation."

Sighing, Beca nods before making her way out, "Fine." But before she leaves, the brunette looks back to say, "Oh, and it's Detective Mitchell."

XxX

"So, how much has Mitchell told you about this?" Chloe asks Jesse while flipping through the document in front of her.

"That her car's been totalled, those exact words, uh... her money's been stolen," He says while steering the car, "Oh, and that someone 'fucked up her run by shooting at her highly expensive coffee'." He states using air quotes. Grinning at her, he adds, "Again, those exact words."

"She was shot?" The redhead questions with her brows furrowed. "Shouldn't she be... Oh, I don't know, in the hospital?"

"Umm, excuse you? I clearly said my coffee was shot." A voice interrupts from the back-passenger seat erupting terrified screams from both Jesse and Chloe.

Jesse's sounds oddly like a 5-year old girl's. But... let's not question it.

"Dude!" He screams, his hand held to his heart. "What the hell are you doing!"

"Solving this case." Beca answers.

"You're suspended, Mitchell." Chloe reminds, looking over her shoulder at her.

"I know that, Beale," She replies, "But this case is about me. I have every right to know what's going on."

"Can't you just trust us?" Chloe asks, a little frustrated bringing her attention back to the document.

"Oh, I'd love to, Princess..." Beca says, trailing off, "But I just can't bring myself to."

"Dick." Chloe mumbles while writing something down.

"What was that?" Beca says, pulling herself forward and leaning over. "Did you just say you wanted some di-"

"No!" Chloe interrupts, turning to Beca only to be startled by how close they are, "Don't..." She stalls, moving her face away from the brunette's, "Don't finish that."

"Sure," Beca says, falling back into the seat with her hands raised. "Tell me what you've got so far," She directs to Jesse.

"Well, from the information that you've given us on who you think the suspect is, we've narrowed it down to ten-"

"Ten!" Beca sighs, interrupting him, "We're gonna be here all day. You know, I could have solved this case by now."

"There's no 'we' in this situation, Beca," Chloe chimes in, "This is our case," She says, motioning from herself to Jesse. "Not yours."

"But I'm the-"

"Victim?" The redhead finishes with a smirk. "Yes. Which means, you leave it to us to find out who did it."

"Whatever." Beca slouches back into the seat. "Let me out." She suddenly says.

Sighing, Jesse pulls the car to a halt over by the sidewalk, "What are you doing?"

"Solving this case." Beca answers, opening the door and stepping out of the vehicle.

"Be careful," Jesse calls out before speeding off.

"Does she even know where's she's at?" Chloe asks him, glancing into the rear-view mirror to see Beca look around confused.

"Probably not," He answers honestly with a shrug.

"I know where I'm at..." Beca says to herself while roaming her eyes around the neighborhood. "Totally know where I'm a-"

Without warning, Beca finds herself surrounded by darkness and feels herself being dragged away. "What the hell!?" She screams, "Let go off me!" She says, kicking and thrashing her feet around.

"Not now, Detective," Comes from somewhere, presumably from the person holding her, "I'm sorry to do this," She hears his deep voice say before a laugh erupts, "Ha! I'm not sorry at all."

"Wait, wh-" Suddenly she feels the grip on her loosen and a heavy weight come right down onto her head.

XxX

"Wakey, wakey, Detective," Comes the deep voice, wakening her from her slumber. Cracking her eyes open, Beca's eyes saunter in on the man in front of her. He's stood in all his 6-foot, bearded self as he smirks down at her.

"Jack," She's spits out with a glare sent at him.

"Ah, ah, ah..." He shakes his head somewhat disappointedly at her, "Jack..." He trails off.

Rolling her eyes, she sighs, "Dude, he's dead-"

"SAY IT!"

"Jeez," Beca mumbles, raising an eyebrow "Okay. Jack the Ripper." She says, rolling her eyes again.

It's then when she realizes her position.

Her arms are tied behind her back and a rope is slung around her waist to keep her from moving from the chair she's sat on.

"Dude, what is this all abou-" She stops herself mid-sentence. "Wait... It's you. Isn't it?" She says, glaring at him, "It was all you!"

"Yep," He nods his head with a beaming grin. "All me!" Motioning to himself he adds, "See this? All this did it!" He smiles wider, which only adds to Beca's anger.

With a laugh, he makes his way over to the table to Beca's left and suddenly snorts the white line of powder along it. "Ooh, that's the good stuff," She hears him mutter.

"Dude."

"This is all your fault!" Jack says twisting around, startling her, a pistol now in his possession. "This," He waves his hands around, motioning to his surroundings, "All. Your. Fault."

"How?" Beca asks.

"It was 2 years ago..."

"And...?" She raises an eyebrow.

"And what?"

"That's all your gonna say?"

"Yes." He answers.

"That's incredible. Very helpful, indee-"

"Okay, shut up!" He interrupts pointing the gun at her making her sit up a little straighter.

"Okay, Jack. Calm down-"

"You arrested Jimmy!" He exclaims, bringing the gun closer to her face. "Jimmy was my brother. And you arrested him."

"Look, man." She starts, "I was just doing my job-" Before she can finish, she's silenced by a hard hit by the pistol to the face. Taking a deep breath, she looks up to him, "Was that really necessary?" She asks, feeling blood trickle from her eyebrow.

"Probably not," Jack answers with a shrug, "But he trusted you. You told him you were his friend when really? You were just undercover."

"I was just doing my job, man." She repeats. "Look, I'm sorry about Jimmy. I really am... but you guys were- are," She corrects, "Total druggies, dude." Before adding a, "No offence."

"None taken," He says his frame slouching. Dropping the gun, Jack moves so he's sat on the chair beside Beca. "It's true. My life is drugs, drugs and drugs," He says listing them off with his fingers. "I can't live without 'em."

"I can tell." Beca voices, "Dude, was the car slashing really necessary?"

Shrugging, he answers, "No. I guess that was uncalled for." He the sighs, "I shoulda' stole it instead."

Eyes widening, Beca shakes her head, "No, that would have been a terrible idea. So, don't go thinking about doing it." Pausing looks to him, "Like, ever."

XxX

"I trusted you!" Jack screams while his two hands are being cuffed from behind. "BPD, you're under arrest..." Jesse say's trailing him away and to his car. Smirking Beca watches as he is forced into the back seat before bringing her attention to the redhead stood to her left, "It only took you three hours to find me."

"Be happy I didn't make it six." Chloe says back making the brunette sigh. A few moments tick by before any of them speak.

"Thank you." Beca voices making the other girl look over, "For finding me and you know... arresting him."

"You're welcome." Chloe replies with a genuine smile. Grinning back, Beca points to the cut on her eyebrow, "Pretty badass, right?"

With the shake of her head, Chloe lets out a small giggle, "Oh, it's totes badass." She says before bringing a hand up to Beca's face. The brunette's breathing labours as she feels Chloe run her hand along her jaw. Suddenly the redhead glides her thumb along the cut causing Beca to wince.

"But you're so not."

Glaring as the redhead skips away, Beca feels the edges of her lips twitch as Chloe glances over at her with a beaming grin plastered on her face.

"What a weirdo."

I don't know how I feel about this... anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this! I'm gonna try update this or add more one-shots as often as I can because it's so fun to write these characters.

And thank you to everyone who liked the last one-shot. I really appreciate it. :)

4, 7, and 12 🔫👀

4. How did you become interested in your special interest?

I found videos of Ginga Densetsu Weed and Ginga Nagareboshi Gin uploaded on youtube after watching a bunch of warriors “amvs” back in 2007 and that’s where the story begins. Also, I did the smart and correct thing and watched the actual first series first like a normal human being instead of GDW first. Petty, but people who have bad Ginga takes typically tend to have seen the sequel first.

I’m not afraid to admit, those very good When Drake Met Sufjan posts are what put St. Vincent on my radar a couple years back and I eventually decided to take a look at her music. The start of a very nice relationship.

This is also hilarious, but I got into Canadian rock music because Matthew Good Band and Sloan songs were played in the background in videos of a now-defunct ARG type thing called Ns0mby and then I did further research and now I’m here.

7. If your special interest is a form of media, then give a quote from it

“I must go to hell to defeat Akakabuto again!”

12. Talk about a previous special interest you’ve had.

Oh, I was SO, SO into Redwall back in the day. I read the books like I was being paid for it. I was in and out of my schools’ libraries constantly. It all started when I found the series in full on youtube and gave it a rewatch and then I was just HOOKED. Following through on writing prose is kind of a struggle and fanfiction writing especially is something that feels like pulling teeth (I’ve only done that...two times and it was like ten years ago) but, at the time, if I had had an avenue to post it, I most likely would have written some kind of fan story for one of the books. I think the Redwall series overall is probably my gateway introduction to like, swords and medieval homage type fantasy in the written form, too.

41, 133, 148? for the hella cute questions?

41. DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE?

Yes. But. That second chance doesn’t have to come from the person / people they’ve wrong. If I wrong you, you don’t have to give me a second chance. If person X wrongs me, I don’t have to give them a second chance. Because I also think people deserve to protect themselves and excise toxicity from their lives.

But in general? Yes. I think if people are willing to put in the very difficult emotion work of learning and growing, they can always overcome and do better and be better, and so everyone deserves a chance to at least try. They deserve infinite chances, actually. But sometimes they have to give themselves those chances, and sometimes they have to seek them elsewhere, and that’s something I think more people need to accept.

113. WHAT WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD NICKNAME?

Pretty much the same as it is now: Gini. But also derivatives of that? All my friends would call me different versions: Gini, Gini-Gin, Gin, Ginger, Ginga, and even (I’m not even joking), the list goes on. One of my favorites has been “Gin-Maestro”?

148. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTE?

What lies behind us and what lies before us are but small matters when compared to what lies within us. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kirby!

i’m guessing you want all of ‘em for Kirby? OKEY DOKEY!

(some of them aren’t fandom specific though i noticed because this meme’s format is a lil funky. I cut those out instead.)

1. Name one of your favourite characters

let’s put a bit of variety in and I’ll say Bandana Dee. He’s everyone’s idol, and a cutie pie to boot! When he first became playable in RTDL I was all over that because!!! Waddle Friend!!!

2. Name one of your favourite villains

Customer Service. Ha you think I can make an ask meme about Kirby WITHOUT MENTIONING HIM?!

3. One actor that you look up to and why

Banjo Ginga, perhaps expectedly~ How that man managed to voice both CS and Nightmare in the anime when they’re at least 50 octaves apart in vocal range is a miraculous thing

4. One actress that you look up to and why

Makiko Ohmoto. She’s a lowkey woman of a thousand voices in the series, and the mini-drama with Susie and Sectonia proves she could seriously do a full blown voice OVA with just her playing all those personalities spot on. Not sure if Kirby should go fully voiced in the future, but hell if he hasn’t proved it can be done!

5. Favourite episode from any show you watch? (Or just an episode you love)

Favourite ep of the anime probably still hands down the quiz episode. Troll on, based salesguy

8. Name 3 OTPs

none really stand out to me in Kirby, aside from friendships. Does the Susie/CS FoeTP count?

9. One character you have a crush on

none

10. One of your favourite fandoms to be in and why?

Even though this be a general one, Kirby has legit been the best for me all these years. You just can’t go wrong with Kirby, and pretty much everyone who loves Kirby is chill and friendly.

11. Describe (insert show here) in three words

Kirby = Eat the nightmares

15. If you were a fictional character in (insert universe here) what would you probably be doing and what life do you think you would have?

lol, if I lived in Kirby’s world, I’d be chillaxin for the rest of my life in Dream Land, enjoying the food and the sights. Sure, place gets frequently attacked and invaded by Eldritch Abominations but Kirby always pulls through doesn’t he?

16. Who do you think is a misunderstood character?

Hmm… I think ‘misunderstood’ in terms of ‘people tend to not portray them right’ (rather than ‘poor misunderstood baby’) would have to be… eh, maybe Dark Matter? I’m not against it but sometimes people seem to be quick to assume Dark Matter is like the ultimate source of evil in the Kirby universe, whereas I believe it’s just one of many evil beings that exist - albeit a powerful one. Maybe it’s just because Dark Matter has appeared more than once in the series, giving it an edge over most of the other bosses. I mean there’s a point where people going “X must be Dark Matter/Zero’s reincarnation because look!!! EYEBALL!!!1!” is basically becoming a bit of a meme.

17. Which character do you wish you were siblings/best friends/dating with?

I wish I could adopt Kirby as a sibling/friend. How could you not want that?!

19. What are three things you’ve learned from one of the shows you watch?

damn this is a little deep… But it’s true Kirby has really been an influence on my life in general since I first encountered it. If I have to say something, I’ll probably say:

[1] Being kind and gentle with others goes a long way (Kirby’s ‘All-Loving Hero’ status inspired this)[2] Cute, innocent and simple things should never be equated with weakness and childishness (The Kirby franchise in a nutshell)[3] There’s always going to be bad in the world as well as good, but we can always choose to punch it in the eye

20. If you could be a writer for any show you wish, how might you develop the plot/characters?

If I was a writer on Kirby, especially the anime, y’all know what the hell I’d be up to - BRING BACK CS/KEEP HIM ALIVE GOD FFUCKING DAMMINT!!!

Though the show had a good run, I wouldn’t mind a reboot or a comeback season. Can’t quite decide which would be nicer:

On the one hand, it would be cool seeing a sort of ‘X years later’ after the original ending with all the familiar anime cast back at it and a little older, a chance to introduce other game characters and elements in and maybe even play with adapting in a few of the game’s plots and devices.

On the other hand, reworking the original anime by expanding more into the GSA/Nightmare war and fleshing out some of the characters (like Silica & Knuckle Joe, the vets of the war, hell even those epic one-offs like Rona) as well as still having the chance to introduce game elements/characters into the anime universe.

I’m honestly easy either way, i would love to make either take happen.

Just as long as Customer Service also makes it back in, of course.

21. What’s one of your favourite quotes from a show you watch?

I rather like Sectonia’s establishing monologue during her first appearance. It’s just so… fitting. It’s cold and grand and tells you all about her and her motivation - particularly when she goes “My beauty rivals the divine… And my power shall crush all you hold dear!”

22. Favourite type of AU?

*crawls up slowly and leans very close to your ear* AN AU WHERE CUSTOMER SERVICE LIVES.

23. Write a brief headcanon for one of your OTPs

For the Susie/CS enemy ‘ship’: Both of them love finding ways to get the other’s personal emails/numbers and spamming passive aggressive messages or taunts. No matter how much encryption or changes of details either of them employs, the other always finds their way in.

25. Why do you love the shows you watch/books you read/fandoms you’re in?

What’s not to love about Kirby? Everything Kirby touches turns gold, and honestly the franchise can do just about anything and pull it off to a good level (even the slight duds still had their perks).

I particularly I love how the Kirby games are making this rich fantasy/sci-fi universe of their own - You can have the cute and fluffy and whimsical existing next to some pretty horrific shit, magic and tech working together like nbd, and in the recent games they’ve been hiding some really deep lore and feels under all the adorableness.

As for the anime, it’s still one of my favourite things to watch whenever. It’s like a favourite treasured childhood snack you can keep going back to and smile over, even despite its little hiccups and dated elements. It’s just innocent fun, and actually had a decent plot at times and even interesting characters, all which left room for expansion and the imagination while being enough as it was.
