yet another post in my critically unacclaimed "parallels between dghda and mp100" series, this time on the topic: claw security guard guy & lieutenant assistent are literally the same breed of guy

a very minor background character with maybe 10 minutes of screentime total

in fact, *so* minor that he doesn't even have a name (i don’t know if "yoshioka mamoru" is a surprisingly consistent headcanon that everyone agreed upon, or some fanbook tidbit, or what, but the wiki has only one sentence about him and refers to him as "nameless guard", so *shrugs*. as for lt. assistent, he was only named "michael" in the scripts, but that detail never made its way to production; so, if we only look towards the hard canon of the 18 total episodes of the show, the guy doesn't even have a canonical first name)

the same kind of unassuming design: little guy, black hair short black hair, dark official worksuit

the same role in the plot! a member of an evil organization that threatens protagonists, but on a very low, "grunt" level (security guard for an esper terrorist organization / lieutenant at a CIA human experimentation project), whose involvement in the plot plays a small, but instrumental role in the overthrowing of said organization (allows dimple to kick ass / leads dirk to francis' room)

doesn't have any canon personality to speak of, but is commonly headcanoned to be timid/shy/anxious

only has a tiny handful of fans, but nearly each of them is sososo obsessed with the guy it makes up for small numbers

main source of fandom popularity is the ship with the series' most eligible gay bachelor (yoshioka with reigen, mike with dirk)

the popularity of said ship is at least partially due to creators' endorcement (bones kept including dimple!yoshioka in promotional art / l*ndis' instagram post about assistent/dirk romance plans for s3)

the smaller, but Very dedicated subset of the guy's fans is there a little bit less for the shipping and more for holding him in their hands and going "he's SO fucking eepy......."; they produce most of the headcanons

they're twinsies ✌️

today i’m thinking about “different first meeting” kuwagami scenario where kuwana is acquainted with kaito beforehand, BUT not as friends, but as fuckbuddies at most. maybe, even just as a one night stand.

yagami comes to kaito’s apartment because he couldn’t reach him or something, and sees another new guy coming out of his shower; this isn’t news for him that kaito occasionally hooked up with random women and men alike, with preference in the former. yagami pays kuwana no mind and actively deflects any advances from him, thinking that kuwana sees him as another fuckbuddy of kaito. yagami doesn’t fuck around that much, and definitely isn’t in the mood to find somebody to stay the night with: they have an urgent case, and there isn’t any other thing on his mind at the moment.

while kuwana falls in love with yagami at the first sight. sure it’s weird to fall for a business partner of the guy he just fucked and isn’t going to remember for long. but, yagami is perfect, in some stupid way. kuwana says something dumb, gets rejected, and his hurting heart tells him he can’t let yagami go. he hasn’t felt this way about anyone in years.

so, he starts to hang around kaito much more frequently, they may even be called friends at some point. yagami thinks they are dating; this is the last thing kuwana wants him to think.

although, they click with each other pretty quickly; with all the annoyance, it’s fun to bicker with him, rarely being serious, picking on him and being picked on in turn. but it also frustrates yagami, because he sees that kuwana doesn’t really care about kaito (the amount he'd expect of the guy kaito is together with). while kuwana sees that yagami worries for kaito, and thinks that it’s in that way. once, he, heartbroken and losing hope, asks what yagami sees in kaito (as a possible romantic partner), but words it badly and is understood even worse. yagami falls out with kuwana, and they stop talking altogether.

yagami sulks and is very upset, because he thought they had something special going there, even if it was just a mutual interest, which wouldn’t turn into anything else. kuwana stops talking to kaito, explaining to him that it was because he couldn’t bear to be with yagami in one room when he hates him so much. his words kind of insinuate of kuwana’s feelings for yagami, but kaito doesn’t catch the hint.

some time passes, and yagami and kaito talk about kuwana. yagami says that he regrets so much cutting kuwana off from his life. kaito remembers what kuwana said, tells it to yagami as word for word as he could remember, and though he doesn’t understand what’s wrong, yagami sees kuwana’s message clearly.

yagami can’t reach him by his number (it’s out of service), so he comes to his house in ijincho. he isn’t home, but yagami waits for him. approaching his house, kuwana sees him sitting on the steps and asks, “did you not cuss me enough?” and everything he says is openly antagonizing. yagami tries to talk to him calmly, but with time kuwana, unyielding, starts to piss him off. yagami says something along, “and here i thought you’d want me to apologize to you” and storms out the house with an intention to drink this anger away and come back.

kuwana isn’t able to stop him (when he tries, yagami punches him in the nose so hard kuwana sees stars, and it starts bleeding), but he finds him leaning on the railing in the nearby parking lot, with cheep beer in his hands. “you didn’t escape far. feeling guilty?”, kuwana asks, meaning his injury. “yes,” yagami answers, meaning the argument that lead them to stop talking with each other.

kuwana asks to share his beer with him, to which yagami complies, and jokes about them having an indirect kiss. “so childish,” yagami says, “we are long past the age of indirect kisses.” “do you want an ‘adult’ kiss?” kuwana jokingly asks, falling into their playful type of talking naturally. “yes,” yagami answers, and kuwana hears no ridicule in turn. he kisses him and tries to say that he wanted to kiss him for as long as they know each other.

“i knew that all this time,” yagami interrupts him, “but i didn’t want a kiss from somebody who isn’t serious about it.” after kuwana’s question of what has changed, yagami answers, “because now i also know you want more from me than this, or sex, or whatever. makes kissing you a lot less disgusting.” kuwana laughs, and yagami steals this sound with another kiss.

Me: -has gone into far more detail, backstory, leadup, and connection with Oreo and how Keith and Leroy became his Cards than necessary-

Cherri, Pachinko, Keno: What about us?

Me: -chugs a beer- who you?

almost 4am can't stop thinking about the meaning of the idiom 'to have blood on [someone's] hands'—to be responsible for a person's death—combined with the fact that Zach is the one we are specifically shown with Daryl's actual blood on his hands (once for real and once in a dream)... Not Josh who had been holding the sword Daryl fell onto, but Zach who took the sword out.

chilling vibing getting stuff done and then suddenly getting hit by 'why do you try so hard to make something new and good and bend yourself backwards pushing for quality when that stuff is mostly discouraged and low effort quantity-over-quality stuff is constantly rewarded'

I swear the fact some of us had to make new special tags just because some people hate that we talk negative about their special characters...Really is damn ridiculous.

the way that people on this website are so quick to dunk on all religions because of their beef with the institution of christianity 😐 yes, institutions of religions have done horrendous and heinous shit. but you're acting as if religion is only the different denominations of christianity. y'all sometimes bring up judaism, very rarely islam, but you act as though the institution of one religion is now representative of how all religions - including ones without institutional power - are morally.

the fact that indigenous religions and spiritualities are totally left out of the conversation is really telling. because then you'd have to admit that religious institutions intentionally tried to wipe these beliefs out (and many were completely eradicated) due to how it ties in with culture - and if you kill a culture, you kill its people. religion itself is so heavily tied to many different cultures and is so crucial to their identities that indigenous americans risked felonies to continue their practices in secret up until the american indian religious freedom act passed in 1978. by blanket condemning all religions because of your issues with the institution of christianity, you literally fall in line with their colonizer rhetoric because to destroy all non-christian religions is their goal. and idc if you call yourself atheistic, to aid in the destruction of cultural religions places you in line with christian institutions rather than against it.

again: your issue is how major religions (mostly christianity) are used as an arm of colonization and the enforcement of white supremacist beliefs. stop dragging everybody else into your bullshit and focus your energy on the actual problem - because as it stands, secularism and atheism have become new branches of cracking down on religion because they can't do shit about christianity, but they can sure put down other religions and help in their destruction as an atheistic branch of white supremacy.

and as an aside, I am not saying "defend christianity." im saying target your energy at the institutions that are doing this damage, not the marginalized cultural religions or the people who practice these faiths and build community around them. because man, if y'all can't get behind the idea that religion can be crucial to a cultural identity, you're not at All ready to talk about how marginalized groups took christianity and made it their own (see: the black church; mexican catholicism) and how this became an important facet of communities, especially as it pertains to social movements.
