yyh cast pet type headcanons!!

i am thinking about them and i am giving them animals to hang out with. yeag

hiei - falcon

falconeers don't really own their falcons. it takes a long time to build trust with them, and they can fly away at any time. they are wild animals

i think hiei would appreciate that untamed quality, and the speed, sight, and skill of them. i think he'd want a capable animal companion, if any at all

note: kuwabara would be freaked out by the emphasis on competence/functionality as well as the impermanence of it. he views animals as creatures to be protected and cherished, while hiei would rather spend time with something capable, self-sufficient, and useful (stealing this idea from my eikichi fic bc i think im right)

the closer an animal or an animal-owner relationship is to a baby/baby-parent relationship, the further he wants to be from it. it grosses him out a Lot. to him, it's like adopting an adult and then babytalking it

most peer-like relationship with animals

kurama - chia pet lol ferret/rat

i think he'd enjoy small, clever troublemakers

there's some tension inherent with kurama owning any prey animal (i think they sense his foxness), but if he finds one that isn't bothered by it, i think they'd get along just fine

enjoys training them

could keep them in his hair lol

somewhat used to short lifespans relative to his

relates to them and how they feel as animals to some extent, but he's much more likely to take control via a caretaker role than treat them as peers, like hiei

botan - chinchilla/sugar glider

i just think she'd like something soft fluffy and exotic. just seems like it'd suit her :)

pretty strong anti-reptile anti-bug bias. they freak her out

open to birds of a certain flavor. i think she'd like doves and pigeons for their dumb sweetheart-ness

also most likely to get something like a mini pig or a pygmy goat, though i think she would feel quickly overwhelmed by them

kuwabara - cats

obviously. *gestures to canon*

if i had to guess at a reason for it i'd say it's a matter of feeling appreciated. you generally can't get cats to do anything they don't want to do, so that means when they show you love, it's extra special. and i think his perseverence with challenges could help him win over even the most reluctant of cats, as well as his gentleness and unconditional love towards those critters

i think kuwa likes winning animals/people over and feeling chosen and seen

strong preference for very social animals, particularly mammals (so not, like, hermit crabs). i think he'd like dogs too

hates mice, so kurama's rats would be a bit weird for him

not huge on fish or reptiles, but willing/able to admire the coolness of them after freaking out for a bit. not huge on bugs and usually doesn't get over that

yusuke - it's complicated

i hate to say it but i don't think yusuke's really an animal person

HOWEVER. i do see him having a 50-year love-hate relationship with a sassy parrot. idk why i just think he'd argue with a bird

less used to short lifespans relative to him, would probably do better with something that lives longer, i.e. a parrot, while he's adjusting to that reality

bonus points bc he's kind of a bird (puu bird imagery)

though i think he'd appreciate feeling wanted and loved, i don't know that the responsibility of a pet would make him feel grounded and secure (i.e. kuwabara), but more anxious and constricted.

his carefree lifestyle would conflict with high maintenance pets, so he probably avoids them for a long time until he's ready to settle down

i think he likes dogs like he likes kids. they're cool to spend time with, but he's probably not gonna feel ready for them until they get dumped on him. i can see him dogsitting for keiko.

shizuru - cats, but for different reasons

a bit like hiei, i think she appreciates self-sufficiency and independence

not huge on kittens, see above

would really like a very chill very lowkey cat

yukina - hear me out. it's not birds

ok. i know birds are probably everyone's first thought bc of her bird friends at tarukane's, but i have a counter-proposal:

i think yukina loves birds but wouldn't want to trap them. she strikes me more as a feeding-birds-at-the-park type + knows what it's like to be trapped (and resents it)

she would be very willing to take in a wild bird that, due to injury or illness, could not be re-released. i think she'd love that

instead, i propose: hermit crabs and brine shrimp

yes im making her be into sea monkeys

my justifications for this are pretty limited. i mostly just think she'd be really into little guys. and i think she'd have a bit more interest in pets that would be considered weird or boring by others (i.e. cockroaches, beetles, tarantulas), especially if they come from non-icy climates. i can picture her holding everything from an iguana to a maggot with similar enthusiasm. but i think she'd likely start with small aquatic guys

plus, she feels a lot less bad about the trapping thing because they need to be in water to survive. it feels more right to her

anyway i just feel like she'd enjoy aquatic stuff. maybe because it's novel, if the ice world was too cold for them to be accessible

i like to think there's ponds on genkai's property that she could put koi or turtles in

oh dude can you imagine her with a frog terrarium bc i can

likes mammals as well, but fascinated with cold-blooded creatures due to novelty

keiko - hamster/gerbil/dog

i also struggled with her a lot, but i think she'd be a dog person

AND i also think she'd be into those small rodents, i.e. hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs (for smth bigger). maybe she had a few as a kid and never really got bored with them like others did. quite passionate about their value as pets, very upset about how they are treated by broader communities

part of me says she'd want a little dog and part of me says she'd want a huge rowdy dog (a bit like yusuke), so maybe she can have both. as a treat :)

though if i had to place anyone as interested in raising farm animals (as livestock or as pets), it'd be her. idk why but i can see her caring for geese and pigs and stuff. she wouldn't mind the hard and often dirty work of it

genkai - tortoise

i think she'd appreciate a slow-paced, low maintenance kinda guy

long lifespan bonus

it's really easy for me to imagine a big tortoise on her compound just free roaming

or perhaps little turtles in ponds around the property

plus turtles kinda inherently have old lady swag to me

toguro - snake

he's used to things kinda climbing all over him

also appreciates the low maintenance aspect

would probably look at a snake dislocating its jaw to eat something whole and go "would you look at that,, you're pushing your limits to feed yourself,,, for you it's a matter of survival. truly i have much to learn" or some shit

sensui - chickens

uh. i don't have an explanation for this one. i think he and itsuki would raise chickens that's all

i think he would carry them under his arm and he'd like watching them walk around

koenma - dwarf hamsters

just the tiniest little fit-in-your-palm types. makes him feel bigger

i can just imagine one of those wire cages behind him in his office idk vibe checks out

Yu Yu Hakusho liveblog: ep 3

the RAPACIOUS ORB????

It’s not called that in the anime is it??? That’s terrible, no, that’s so terrible

D- in Artifact Naming, thanks

Okay you know what I was never clear on this in the anime either: Kurama and Yusuke both “gave up half their lives” but there never seem to be any consequences to this? Even though it sounds like it should have consequences? Like usually when someone phrases it like that, they mean in terms of “How old you get to be.”

I always just mentally handwaved it as “Well they clearly meant life energy, I guess”

Still I’ve always been unsatisfied with the fact that they didn’t clarify that

The Conjuring Blade. Hmm that’s not great either. Like I know they’re limited by the need to roughly match lip movements in the dub, but still

“The blade grants the user their desired ability” was actually a very clever rewrite, though

Koenma is also significantly less pigeonholed as comedic relief here, while still getting to give him some of that lightness and Way Less Worried Than the Heroes Would Like Him to Be thing, and it’s working pretty well for me actually

Impressed with this take on adapting him tbh

He’s so not serious in the anime, but like in the show you WANT him to come off as a lot more mature since he is. you know. not being played by a literal baby

Wait a minute Koenma’s lines must ALL done by ADR in the original. Right?? Because otherwise how clearly would the actor even be able to talk with that thing in his mouth the whole time?

Esp since it and his lips move very little

Okay Hiei’s silhouette does look pretty good from the side, though

Esp if you unfocus your eyes lol

There’s just too much white on his outfit for me, it’s too much

Like for the others, the show really directly adopted their Main Look

Whereas Hiei looks halfway between his main look (cloak and scarf) and one of this Dark Tournament looks (when he takes off the cloak; mostly tank tops iirc)

The bandaging on his head is both too wide and nowhere clearly enough bandaging. At first I thought he was just wearing a bafflingly uneven headband.

Or, at least, they should have committed more clearly to EITHER bandaging OR a headband, not tried to merge them

Wait it IS just a bafflingly thick and uneven headband. Why. It looks like he hand-tore something out of white leather, almost???

Like presumably it’s just cloth but it’s SO stiff

Okay they are doing a really good job of adopting the superspeed fighting. Much better than the “only speedsters can melee fight other speedsters successfully” or like “The Flash (TV)-style” fighting that I’m used to seeing

Because obviously it can be hard to film “superspeed opponent vs. non-superspeed opponent” effectively, but they did a pretty good job I think

They’re really doing a good job of stylizing it

See this is why American live action adaptations of anime always fail horribly even for super popular series imho

Until One Piece, actually, I think

Because US studios have no idea how to effectively visually stylize a huge number of anime tropes and mainstays and archetypes

Saw a quote where one of the directors(?) on the project was saying that he’s really glad it was a Japanese adaptation because they know how to translate it into live action and stylize it effectively, and THEY’RE RIGHT

Seriously some of the shots in these fights, esp Yusuke vs. Goki, look like they could literally be straight out of the anime. Like I can see in my head EXACTLY how it would be drawn and shot and animated. Love it. Love the love for anime as a style/art form here

WAIT DARK TOURNAMENT ISLAND REALLY DOES HAVE THAT SHAPE I’m really impressed with them for Committing to that and pulling that off at all, actually

Yukina sparkly eyeshadow. But she can’t possibly have regular access to makeup in her situation. Yukina is by default a bit sparkly, it’s an ice maiden thing? Canon accepted

Omg for a second when he turned I thought his scar was a TEAR and I was SO BAFFLED

Immediately hit the 10 sec rewind and discovered the truth

Thank god okay that makes more fucking sense

It’s just a Very shiny scar. Hypertrophic

Oh shit they did the Toguro size enlargement actually like canon. Okay I’m no longer wildly unimpressed with their Toguro adaptation

I could not have imagined they’d do the muscle bulging that literally. It really speaks to how far visual effects for body alteration have come in the past decade or so

They’re mostly being pretty successful with using angles to make this work surprisingly well

God everything about the rich bad guys at the dark tournament was always so confusing to me. I could never tell them apart except for Sakyo. Everything about this version of the plotline is so much clearer. Thank you highly distinct visual styles!

Anyway using Tarukane’s introduction to Sakyo’s Whole Thing/the Dark Tournament to explain it to the viewers was a good move done p effectively. Also Tarukane’s suit is so extra and I love it

Hmm the shrinking effect on Elder Toguro is. Less effective. I think they overcommitted. Should’ve leaned more into the skinniness than the shortness, imho

All the effects on Elder Toguro in front of the helicopter are just. Oof. Absolute garbage. They Did Not stick the landing on this one, folks.

Seriously they should’ve let him be taller and just made the actor do some kind of unsettling posture that makes his head come up less far all the time or whatever

Listen I have friends who are under 5 feet. None of them look even a little bit like that. That’s just not what humans look like at that size.

Also why is his hair straight. He and Sakyo need to switch hair textures

Okay up-close effets on him get better as soon as he’s twisting to actually kill someone. Why don’t they just have him look like that the whole time?

Karasu and Bui look great though

GENKAI GENKAI GENKAI GENKAI

Genkai looks okay but she doesn’t sound like a lifelong chainsmoker and that makes me sad, on a personal level

Also kinda sad that she looks like she’s like 50, not 70. And she’s not mean enough!! Tragic

Okay the walnuts thing is better. More properly mean. Good.

Okay her jumping on Yusuke’s chest while he’s down is also good. Excellent. I snorted, perfectly in character. She should sstill sound like she spent her youth gargling rocks tho

Yusuke, on the other hand, looks FANTASTIC as they’re arguing. They nailed it with his posture, his hair, his sullen complaining, amazing

HE’S GETTING THE SPIRIT WAVE ORB IN EPISODE THREE???? Come on, this is COMPLETELY unearned, I get that they’re trying to somehow do seasons 1 AND 2 in just five episodes but they literally should not have included this

Genkai still isn’t mean enough. Just watched a clip of the anime to clear my palette and she literally tells him, “Shut up, you condescending jackass.” This Genkai seems like she would never and I have a huge problem with that!!

Spirit wave orb is just handled so badly. I’m mentally rewriting it as an entirely different type of power boost. This is easy to do, because passing it over in the drama is super easy and immediate and with no consequences, meanwhile in the anime it’s like a 3 episode arc to transfer it where both Yusuke and iirc Genkai are in danger of like. Fucking dying!!! Anime Yusuke: Literal days of pain and writhing in a cave. Live Action Yusuke: Standing there. It takes 2 seconds.

I do really like the shots of Genkai inside right after Yusuke leaves. Gorgeous shots and lighting, and I like that we at least get to see a photo of Young Genkai!

At least Toguro showing up to go after her literally the same night makes getting the orb out of there (out of her) feel more justified, ig

Okay actually I’m liking the Genkai & Toguro scene a lot. I buy that actor as Genkai a Lot more in this scene too

“Well, you haven’t changed, have you? You still care about fighting…and nothing else at all.” Great line and great delivery. Tbh does a more convincing job of laying out while Younger Toguro is doing All This than the did

They better fucking not kill Genkai though. I mean, I can’t imagine why they would, since Toguro also goes after her in the anime/manga and she makes it. But it bears repeating that they’re absolutely not allowed to!

I really like that we keep seeing Keiko actually working at her family’s shop. Gives her a lot more dimensionality and sense of having her own life/stuff going on than she sometimes has in the anime

ELDER TOGURO IS FRAMING HIEI actually that’s a really smart way to do it, I was WONDERING how they were about to justify the kidnapping since Hiei isn’t trying to take over the world anymore

Also, super cool job with the effects on the reveal tbh

Hiei and Kuwabara animosity on first sight: done perfectly, I laughed out loud (literally)

“Hiei’s with us.” “No I’m not.” “’Course you’re not, jackass!” asdl;kjfas love it

They’re really lucky Kurama was there tbh. I also love that Hiei totally could’ve stopped the fight to clarify what the hell was going on after “Who the hell is Keiko?” but he had zero interest in doing so. “This guy doesn’t believe me? Why argue when I could fight.”

“Who the hell is Keiko?” Keiko!Winter Soldier AU now

Trivia - Arch Seirei Artemis and the Seirei

I knew doing this trivia in particular was gonna be lengthy and figured might as well put in trivia for all the Seirei while I’m at it. Arch Seirei Artemis is still the primary focus of the trivia though. It’s not gonna be perfect, but oh well.

Warnings: Spoilers for Saber, and some implied self-doubt and guilt issues.

General

The Seirei are magical entities akin to angels from Wonder World who are connected to the Seiken and enable transformation into a Kamen Rider.

Their name kanji (聖霊) means ‘holy spirit’, befitting their association with the Seiken.

They were inspired by the Heavenly Saints from Magiranger.

They are where the Riders’ elemental magic is drawn from.

They are capable of taking on a human form when living on the real world. Their true forms vary depending on the Rider and their associated element.

Their true forms are usually visible in each Rider's henshin sequence. (Hence the transformation sequences of Saber, Blades, and Espada.)

Only Seiken wielders and those with high exposure to magic (Like Shion and Mei) can hear the Seirei's voices from within their Seiken.

All their true forms are humanoid in physical appearance and appear behind their user the moment the transformation is triggered.

The swordsmen call their Seirei by their names and sometimes call them by their Seiken's names. Sometimes when they transform (especially in some of the badass scenes) they shout this. "(Seirei name), Seirei of (Element)! I call upon your power! Come!" For example, Kaede would shout "Yukina, Seirei of Ice! I call upon your power! Come!" For group henshins, they would each say their Seirei's name and element and shout "We call upon your powers! Come!" in unison.

Arch Seirei Artemis (Played by FRUITS ZIPPER’s Amane Tsukiashi)

She is based off the goddess of the same name from Greek mythology and is a lot friendlier than her counterpart.

She often appears as an advisor and observer to the SoL Riders.

She used to have a group of hunters to help her watch over the Sword of Logos and assist them in battle, but Yumeko betrayed her and slaughtered them after becoming Nimcha, forcing Artemis to defeat and seal her in the Moonlight Diamond.

She only vanquished Lennox from Wonder World on Tassel’s advice.

During Touma's henshin sequence into Xross Saber, Artemis descends down and does a motion similar to that of "granting a blessing" onto him.

During the days before Kyomu was sealed in the Book of Ruin, there was an ancient Seiken which granted its user the power of pure raw magical energy that makes up the elemental magic of all the present-day Seiken, the Mahouken Sakkaku (Magic Sword Illusion), which was considered the most powerful of all the Seiken, even surpassing Saikou and Kurayami in terms of power. As such, its wielder was considered the most powerful swordsman in all the land. However, great power came with great insanity.

While most details have been lost to time, archives tell that the Seirei of the Mahouken was a humanoid six-armed being whose body seemed to be made of pure raw magic energy and the previous Arch Seirei. The Seirei of the Mahouken fed off of its wielder's will and fueled their more psychopathic tendencies to extremes. Sakkaku's wielder thought that since no swordsman can hold a candle to his power, he should be the only swordsman because of this. However, unbeknownst to him, there was a Seiken that could surpass even Sakkaku's god-like power and magic, the Haouken Xross Saber, Artemis’ Seiken.

Back then it was much like all the other Seiken, containing the power to alter reality and gives its user the elemental magic of the stars themselves. Its wielder at the time was a very powerful mage who had been studying how to split magical energy into separate types of magic.

When word of the Mahouken wielder's atrocities came to the mage, both he and Artemis were determined to put an end to this being's reign of terror. An intense battle between the two swordsmen wielding these magic swords took place which devasted the world around them. When the dust finally settled, the mage and Artemis had emerged victorious.

Not wanting any other swordsmen going insane with power, the mage used the Haouken and his special magic to destroy Sakkaku and turn its energy into the elemental magic everyone knows. Then, he sacrificed his own life to split the Haouken into magical energy, infusing into elemental energies that would become Seiken that would one day unite and summon the Haouken in its full glory to the one who wields the first Seiken forged by human hand, stronger than ever before.

He entrusted Artemis with protecting both the real world and Wonder World and watching over the Seiken wielders who would one day summon the Seiken she was connected with, stronger than even before, making her the new Arch Seirei.

Ever since, Sakkaku was lost to time due to its destruction and subsequent energy redirection and has become a cautionary tale to all members of the Sword of Logos while Artemis had been watching over the Sword of Logos, waiting for the day where heroes would rise and summon her sword to them, blessed with power beyond anything one can imagine.

Tassel saw the moment Artemis was made the new Arch Seirei and truly believed she would regain her full power one day as her deceased wielder prophesized and is fully supportive of her despite her initially being uncertain of her newfound role.

She was uncertain of becoming the new Arch Seirei at first due what the Sakkaku’s Seirei had done, but with Tassel’s support she grew into a courageous and responsible Arch Seirei, guiding the Sword of Logos and watching over them.

Ice Seirei Yukina (Played by Hikaru Yamamoto)

A kind-hearted Seirei like a princess who cares deeply about her friends.

Her name kanji means ‘snow flower’ (雪華), refencing her kind nature.

She felt guilty about Ayaka’s death, especially since Kaede had to witness it happen, even if she didn’t directly see it. She wants to make amends for it when her Seiken reappeared to Kaede in the present day.

Thunder Seirei Raito (Played by Satsuki Nakayama)

Serves as a mentor figure for Shion when she took up his Seiken.

Was amazed at Shion’s determination when she first became Espada.

His name kanji (雷当) means ‘thundering justice’.

Sound Seirei Naoto (Played by FRUITS ZIPPER’s Luna Nakagawa)

She has the appearance of a cutesy idol singer in both human and her true form.

Her name kanji means ‘south sound’ (南音), a play on words on ‘south bound’ and refencing her being the Seirei of Sound.

While she was asleep during her Seiken’s repair, she could communicate with Tetsuo via telepathy often by singing lullabies.

Flame Seirei Homura (Played by Rin Takanashi)

She found Touma’s desire to make people happy through books adorable, prompting her to escape the darkness Daichi had trapped her in 15 years ago.

Her name kanji (炎) means ‘flame’ in reference to her element.

She comes across as a little hot-blooded, but she’s really just passionate about helping Touma get used to being a swordsman.

Water Seirei Mizuhara (Played by Atsushi Shiramata)

He holds the memories of his Seiken’s past users close to him.

His name kanji (水原) means ‘water field’.

He’s easily one of the most adaptable Seirei in Wonder World.

Land Seirei Riku (Played by Eiji Akaso)

He’s the physically strongest of the Seirei, partially due to his element.

His name kanji (陸) means ‘land’ in reference to the element of earth.

He understands why Ogami prefers physical attacks over magic the most.

Wind Seirei Fuutaro (Played by Ryo Matsuda)

Due to his element of wind, he is faster than most Seirei.

His name kanji (風太郎) means ‘wind strong’.

He can tolerate Ren’s gremlin antics, as he knows he’s still learning to understand true strength.

Light Seirei Hikaru (Played by Yuki Kubota)

He fused with Yuri after Bahato was sealed in the Book of Ruin, making Yuri a hybrid in the process.

His name is read with the kanji for ‘light’ (光).

He doesn’t have much experience with other Seirei due to his time in Avalon.

Dark Seirei Yamina (Played by Nana Mori)

Her precognitive powers let her access the World of Darkness.

Her name kanji (闇名) means ‘dark distinguished’.

Her true form is similar to Homura’s but themed after a dark dragon.

Smoke Seirei Noroko (Played by Yuria Haga)

There seems to be very little that can break through her near-stoic demeanor.

Her name is read as ‘smoke child’ (煙子) and she’s the only Seirei whose name is close to the name of their Seiken, in Noroko’s case, Noroshi.

She knows her magic’s limits, often being undeterred by stronger opponents countering her.

Time Seirei Tokiwa (Played by Kohei Murakami)

In contrast to Noroko, he can be quick to anger.

His name kanji means ‘a tale of time’ (時話) in reference to Saber’s story motifs.

Ryoga is one of the few who can keep him in check.

Void Seirei Naiko (Played by Arisa Komiya)

She is responsible for returning excess magical energy from Xross Saber to the void.

Her name kanji (無子) means ‘void child’.

She’s one to reach out to the outsider who feels alone in the world.

Dream Seirei Yuna (Played by Ami Tomite)

She only wants to help people pursue their dreams.

Her name is read with the kanji for ‘dream’ (夢).

The whereabouts of her and her Seiken after Yumeko’s first defeat are unknown until Bahato’s debut in episode 34.

Who she is to ME SPECIFICALLY.

Or,

Botan gets 10x times funnier if interpreted as being a 30-something-year-old

Link to tiktok user@johannes2o's "POV: our friend is an airport dad" video on tumblr: https://only-tiktoks.tumblr.com/post/713049563491155968 ; with screenshots of various comments: https://redead-red.tumblr.com/post/716343198278123521

Further thoughts:

.... Okay so I know three out of 4 of these circles are parental figures (technically only two of them are parental figures, the third one is a figure of speech) but I resent when a female character is assigned as the "mum" of the group when she's clearly, at most, if I have to use a failial term, an uncle.

The fact that in the manga she's told by Koenma not to tell Yusuke abt the egg potentially devouring him if he does or thinks something bad wasn't NEARLY utilised for its comical and dramatic worth that it had and this has scrambled my brains ever since. Yusuke thinks he just has to hang onto the egg, Botan however is fully aware of the truth of the test and is probably sweating bullets for him!

She's used to sending clients to their death not to help them improve as a person whose character growth will be acknowledged by the heavens - usually it's enough for the client to feel ready to move on but that isn't the case here! HE'S GONNA DIE FOR REALSIES AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW-- leading to Botan being Weirdly Invested and Pushy about Yusuke doing good deeds, which Yusuke finds weird at first bc she wasn't like this at the beginning? But he's also not smart or observant enough to assume that she knows something he doesn't. Misogyny win! (Headcanon: Yusuke thinks its feminist of him to know a woman can hit him just as badly as a man can. .... Yusuke oh my god.)

Which when I rewatched A Goofy Movie and we get to the principal yelling at Goofy about how Max is destined for the electric chair for staging a performance for the student body and ask Roxanne out, gave me perfect panicked Botan vibes.

"The electric chair...." (an extremely haunted expression on Goofy's face. He then picks up something that reminds him of the Goof family roadtrip and decides this is what will save Maxie from future legally sanctioned execution.)

There's also this one part in the Yukina arc where she, Kuwa, and Yusuke are trekking through a forest and she looks like she's the only one prepared for a trek, and she's the one pointing which way is the right one, gave me the headcanon that she camps and is wildlife-savvy and I got very attached to that.

Next, Mrs Bennet. Oh Mrs Bennet. Poor woman is stuck in a society that values men and realised a little too late that she and her husband should have made sure their girls could have an education and thus secure some work, sadly her husband is useless and she's the only one panicking about it; worse, her panic makes any potential suitors turn away from her daughters. Arguably even worse, it alienates her from her daughters, who also realise how dire things are, but don't appreciate her stress.

Have I mentioned my "Botan gets 10x times funnier if interpreted as a 30-something"?

Its canonically stated in the manga that her birthday and age are unknown, so really she could be billions of years old (Edltrich botan... YES) or she could be a baby ferrygirl/shinigami. She's never heard of Sensui until he shows up in the Chapter Black saga, who disappeared 10 years prior to reappearing. Which implies she entered this service 10 or less years ago.

I personally think it's the funniest if she's in her thirties and she'll still get swept up by the youthful energy of the kids and then repeatedly get mentally hit by the truck of "You're the adult here."

The miscommunication would be great! Yusuke has no idea why Botan is so invested in his good deeds first and now in him being the spirit detective - little does he know, she got invested bc she was literally told "if he doesn't do a good job, he'll get eaten by the monster he's made (that we gave him)", and she's having complicated feelings she doesn't want to address ever abt him being a 14-year-old with a life-debt to the afterlife bc they offered him the chance and never told him there were strings attached.

Meanwhile Botan doesn't know WHY he just can't listen to her or Koenma when that's the easy part!! Obedience is DEFINITELY the easy part!!! She's going above and beyond what was originally in her job description, he can too!! (Hello soul-crushing guilt she's locking away never to look at again. Hello shame that she was a part of this. Hello cowardice at the inability to own up to this!) Hence the yoda.

🎲

24. A sleepy kiss

The distant noise of what sounded like droplets hitting a puddle was what eventually drew Chishiya out of his sleeping state.

How long had he been out? No matter. The real question was, where on earth was he? Half lidded eyes fluttered open until he could survey his surroundings. A building of some kind, and a rather derelict one at that. Piles of rubble from the corroded walls lay scattered around the broken floorboards, a puddle not so far away from him with droplets of last nights rain seeping into it through the hole in the roof. The source of his awakening. Ah, that was right. Chishiya had taken refuge here for the night after completing the latest Diamond game with Yukina, deciding that travelling all the way back to the Beach would be too much of a hassle in the rain.

Speaking of Yukina.. where was she? Letting out a low grumble as he turned onto his stomach in order to stretch out, Chishiya couldn’t stop the leisurely smile from spreading across his face once he’d turned his head to come face to face with none other than Yukina still sound asleep. Good, she was safe. Lazily, the blond draped his arm over the sleeping woman’s waist, pulling himself closer until there was barely any distance between them. “Weren’t you supposed to be keeping watch?” He hummed, placing a sleepy kiss to the side of her lips.

✭ description: Yukina is a short, athletic young woman with a sharp chin and bright golden eyes. She has white hair in a bob that's flipped out at the ends, fluffy ears, and a tail that are the same color. She also has abnormally sharp canine teeth and slitted pupils, giving her a foxlike appearance. ✭ height: 5'1 (155 cm) ✭ weight: 121 lbs (~55 kg.) ✭ other distinguishing features: painted fingernails, long eyelashes, perpetual grin

iv.– abilities

✭ quirk: Kitsune

✭ quirk description: It gives the user several abilities of the mythical kitsune (i.e: illusions, transformation, fire, etc.). These abilities do not show up all at once  at age 4, like usual, but rather every 4 years ending at age 40. They can show up in any order, but the user is always born with the ears, tail, and other features of a fox. At ages 32 and 40, the user will gain four tails, ending their Quirk maturity with nine tails. Still, there's a legend that if a user of the Kitsune Quirk gets severely wounded while protecting another, they will gain all nine tails at once. This hasn't been seen but the rumor has been passed down since the Kitsune Quirk emerged. The Quirk can be genetically passed on through offspring, meaning that if the user of the Kitsune quirk has children, there is a chance that one of them may have the exact same Quirk. With the features of a fox, the user also has the senses of a fox (heightened sight, hearing, smell, etc.).  ✭ quirk drawbacks: Overuse of illusions can cause the user to become lethargic. The user is not immune to being burned by their own flames. In addition, there is a starting 15 second cooloff for use of both aspects of the quirk.

v.– relationships

✭ mother (Hinata Okami): Hinata is Yukina's inspiration for becoming a hero, along with her grandmother. She is a kind, strong woman who cares for her kids very much. When Yukina decided she wanted to be a hero, Hinata was incredibly supportive and helped her train. ✭ father (Fumihiro Okami): Fumihiro is, to Yukina, the best father she could ask for. He's supportive, understanding, and incredibly dedicated to his family. He was the one who sparked Yukina's love for cooking and baking and taught her how the kitchen works. ✭ older sister (Kaguya Okami, oldest): Kaguya and Yukina may annoy each other from time to time, but they are practically inseparable. In their words, they are a "nerd" and "loser" respectively. Despite the constant insulting, the two love each other (as much as siblings can). ✭ older brother (Tsukiyama Okami, middle): Tsukiyama is and has been one of Yukina's closest friends for a long time. They don't annoy each other as often as with Kaguya, but there is some bickering from time to time. Still, the two have been best friends since Yukina gained sentience. ✭ grandmother (Miyako Okami): The woman who started it all, Miyako is another huge inspiration for Yukina. She taught her how to stand up for others and the greater good, no matter what. Yukina greatly looks up to Miyako and wants to live up to the bar she's set. ✭ friends: Tenya Iida, Ochako Uraraka, Eijiro Kirishima, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, Izuku Midoriya, Momo Yaoyorozu ✭ enemies: the League of Villains (and all their subsidiaries), Stain, bigots ✭ love interest: Mezo Shoji

vi.– backstory

Yukina was the third and last child of Hinata and Fumihiro Okami. As she was the only one of her siblings to have inherited the Kitsune Quirk from her mother and grandmother, she was heralded as the successor to the Fox Hero name by the public. At the time, her grandmother Miyako had retired from the hero business and had fully passed on the Fox Hero mantle to Hinata, who was still keeping the populations safe as Zenko, the second Fox Hero. Since she was old enough to understand heroics, Yukina had wanted to be a hero like her mom and grandmother. Despite being supportive of her goals, her parents warned her of the risks of becoming a hero. Yukina decided it was worth it and started training under her mother. When Yukina was nine, Hinata was attacked by the Hero Killer Stain, who decided not to kill her instantly. Instead he sliced off her left arm, leaving her to bleed out in an alleyway. The authorities arrived before the blood loss was fatal, but a full recovery took months. Yukina wasn't told about this until Hinata came home with a bionic arm attached to where her left arm was. she retired shortly after. Still, she kept training Yukina to use her powers to the best of her ability. Some time later, the 6/6 Incident, where people with Quirk mutations were massacred without reason, occurred. Yukina and her direct family weren't involved in the massacre, but three members of her extended family were. After that, Yukina vowed that as a pro, she would protect the innocent and ensure that nothing like that would ever happen again. ...and then the fic begins.

vii.– other

✭ clothing style(s): lolita (the japanese dress style), pastel academia, yume kawaii ✭ voice claim(s): Azumi Waki (jp), Corina Boettger (en) ✭ face claim (if needed): Hitomi Honda ✭ hero name: Fox hero: Megitsune  ✭ theme song: The Celestial Fox- Marasy ✭ other facts She has autism and ADHD.

Custom Toonami Block Week 123 Rundown

Inuyasha: So a lot of stuff happens this episode, Naraku collapses Mt. Hakurei and goes out to see Kikyo while Inuyasha takes it upon himself to dive into the depths of the mountain to save Koga as it falls apart beneath him. It’s nice for Inuyasha just to offer to go save Koga without much prodding because just because he hates his guts doesn’t mean he wants him to literally die. They get out okay even though Koga has to make the last save while half dead and then the fight some more, luckily nothing important’s going one while we’re having this discussion. Meanwhile Kikyo’s dead, yeah well not really but sorta, Naraku reveals he orechestrated a whole arc’s worth of zombie hitmen and demon mountain priests just to eject his simp side for Kikyo and murders her, except because Naraku’s a fucking Bond Villain he just decides to stab her and throw her in a poison bath which admittedly SHOULD kill her but we never see her die and spoilers but she survives this somehow for some reason because the plot still had like 10% of her character arc left. Sesshomaru comes down like ‘wow that was a stupid reason to send us all running around’ and slices down Naraku but since the dude legit doesn’t have a heart anymore it’s like cutting a deli platter and he can also do the ‘no u’ attack and fires Tokijin’s blast back at Sesshomaru. Luckily Sesshomaru is OP as fuck and tanks his own blast to slice the 20% of Naraku that was left in half again and Naraku’s all ‘I’m not dead so I win, hahaha’ and runs away. Inuyasha comes up and asks Sesshomaru what happened and he’s all ‘idk Naraku wanted to kill some bitch named koyoyo or something I just got here’ and Inuyasha’s like ‘wait you just let him murder people?’ and Sesshomaru’s all ‘not my problem bitch, if you want her to be alive go save her your own damn self instead of arguing with your wolf boyfriend’ and this would all be a lot more meaningful if Kikyo actually died from this, like I feel like that was originally the plan to make the Mt. Hakurei arc feel climactic but realistically we barely changed the status quo at all like Naraku gets a new form that’s supposedly stronger but we rarely see that and we get The Baby which means this is technically the start of the last big arc of the main series since The Baby and Hakudoshi do survive until The Final Act (though saying that there’s still A LOT left it’s really a needlessly long arc).

Yu Yu Hakusho: So we’re at the end of this part of the Stand Users arc, we’re confronted with four sets of stairs which isn’t technically the same deal as in Hunter x Hunter but still feels kinda similar to the end of one of the exams. There’s some good banter and everybody teasing Hiei for being such a dumb fuck in the last game and they put on these Spirit Stickers that actually don’t end up being plot relevant since the bad guys can get around them. But yeah turns out Yu Yu Hakusho invented Among Us and Yusuke has to tell which of his friends is the most sus or else the real one dies. (Ngl the way the guy in the dub says “Impahsta” is really funny even without the meme) we get a bunch of questions that are basically a bunch of gags about how Kuwabara doesn’t know Yukina’s Hiei’s sister yet and how we almost got Botan’s boob size but most of it goes nowhere and Yusuke just kinda takes a hunch and punches Kuwabara because it’s always Kuwabara falling for dumb shit. Turns out he’s right and oddly enough the Stand User that can copy Kuwabara exactly even down to his spirit signature apparently still needs to borrow his clothes for it to work. Anyway turns out this was all a ploy by Genkai to train the group’s brains because not everyone’s gonna be a ridiculously buff DBZ villain that gives you a five page essay on how their powers work and they’re gonna need training to fight Stand Users since the REAL enemies are coming and they’re trying to make a hole to the demon world because I guess that’s the only villainous motivation anyone has in this world.

Fate/Apocrypha: So we get an episode all about the world’s most adorable mass murderer Jack the Ripper, starts out with a dude begging to die but also begging to not have his heart crushed so idk bro kinda mixed signals. Turns out Sieg is also slowly dying… well I mean he was already slowly dying but now he’s slowly dying slightly faster because Siegfried’s trying to subconsciously take over his body and has basically become his Hollow Ichigo at this point. They go out to find Jack the Ripper but because it’s an essential part of the legend that Jack the Ripper was never identified they’re all like ‘idk some dude I guess, definitely not a loli in panties’ which doesn’t exactly come up because the only time she pops up is when she’s already about to kill someone. Turns out whatshisface can Inception the dead guy and turns out the dead guy’s last memories were of… dying, so that’s not fun for anyone. But they find out Jack has all the security codes for the alarm which idk why they needed that given everyone’s already on high alert when she gets there because of the giant death fog like I’d think that was alarm enough idk what we needed the defense forces for. But yeah Jack wants to kill wheelchair girl cause… I mean I guess Team Yggy is already half dead anyway so might as well? Like by that logic you might as well just let the teams fight more because at that point if you kill of all of Team Yggy you still have to deal with full power Team Shiro by yourself but idk maybe tragic rich girl hearts taste better or something. There’s a fight and we get some horror movie drama out of wheelchair girl losing her wheelchair and scrambling for her Doc Ock legs and only just getting to them before she gets capped anyway and Sieg has to save her and then Chiron has to save Sieg before he goes all Hollow Ichigo and Jack’s just like ‘well damn this was a poorly thought plan, not gonna fight four main characters at once’ and dips out. And so basically nothing of value happened this episode.

Speed Grapher: So this episode’s really kind of interesting like it’s technically a clip show but it’s framed as a Tax Audit and each clip gives a net gain or loss of income so we get numbers for the dues money and the damages caused in Saiga’s fights as well as each individual Euphorics’ outstanding balance honestly that’s kind of a really cool way to do a clip show, it’s no FMA Brotherhood but it does keep things interesting by adding a balance to everything and showing how the income of the Tennouzu Group and the Roppongi Club absolutely dwarf how much they’ve spent chasing Saiga and covering up all this shit. We do get a couple new pieces of information, we get to see a character development moment for Suitengu where he lets a little girl buy off her father’s debt with monopoly money and then demands it be added to the real taxes which is kind of funny and an odd contrast to him murdering a guy in front of his son for not paying up in the first couple episodes. Also we get a little more info on Suitengu’s plan to use pharmaceutical deregulation thanks to government bribery to slip a inhibition-lowering stimulant into the common over the counter medicines and basically make the whole country low-level Euphorics with none of the superpowers but all the deranged animinalistic pleasure-seeking which makes them very willing consumers and addicted to the drug itself which is… sadly only slightly a fantastical stretch. We also learn that the leitmotif song for Saiga’s war days is an actual in-universe song from a point where he was buried alive in a lab and another guy was buried with him and they only communicated by playing the music box with that song in it to stay sane until help arrived. And since Suitengu is seen with the music box it’s heavily implied to be him. Also Saiga’s like ‘wait maybe the time I was buried alive in an explosion in a bioweapon lab was when I contracted the Euphoric carrier strain’ and it’s just like ‘yeah dude of course it was what the fuck’ like you’d think the time he almost died in a bioweapon lab would’ve been the first instance he thought of when asked that question.  

Durararax2: It’s the climax at long last and shit is GOING DOWN, Celty put a stop to the gang wars and zombie wars and Mikado’s attempt to shoot himself in the head by putting her shadows all over the city and tying everyone up. Shizuo and Izaya continue fighting and ngl Izaya kinda gets sucker punched a couple times by being distracted by Simon’s flashbangs and getting stabbed by Varona but really there was no way he was winning this fight like he’s doing like 0.5% damage to Shizuo with each slice and all it takes is one hit to knock him into next week so the only way Izaya was coming out on top is if he got Shizuo to kill him and do the whole Batman-Joker thing but Varona stabs Izaya before he can do that. Celty confronts Mikado and Masaomi who are joined by Seiji and Anri’s group and she’s like ‘yo I’m a dullahan I gotta go do dullahan shit but yeah sorry about inadvertently starting a gang war’ which is kinda funny because Mikado’s sitting there like ‘man I’m the one who caused all the problems’ and Celty’s like ‘no I’M the one that caused all the problems’ and neither of them are completely right sometimes crazy shit just happens. And then Shinra shows up and Celty keeps a poker face but it’s clear she’s being selective about what she’s pretending to remember since she knows Mikado’s whole backstory but claims not to recognize Shinra at all. So yeah it’s pretty clear she has both sets of memories back and is just trying to play a hardass supernatural creature to make it easier for everyone to let her go which is funny because that’s basically what Mikado said he was doing when he tried to become the villain, it’s like someone made a theme or something when writing this wow. Anyway Shinra gets thrown into the air by Shizuo and cuts off Celty’s head again with his own Saika because everyone gets a Saika now I guess which idk why severing it’s necessary except to keep the head in play as a plot device for Namie and Seiji since it’s clear Celty does still have all her memories and chooses to stay in Ikebukuro even if souls don’t get to go to Valhalla or whatever. The Raira trio and Saki are laughing about how they all almost died tonight and are gonna share stories of how they’re all gang leaders and/or supernatural anime swords when Takashi runs up and stabs Mikado like five times. Meanwhile Kadota’s group recognize Takashi as the dude that ran Kadota over so Saburo gets to do his one plot relevant thing and run Takashi’s ass over so Haruna can kidnap him and bring him into her SAW sex dungeon thing, she calls and lets her dad know she’s alright first so it’s okay I guess. Man this series really has a thing for ‘they’re happy in this fucked up relationship so it’s fine’ like idk how long Haruna’s gonna be able to mutilate her teacher before he just fucking dies and is gonna come back to her dad covered in blood or with a severed head on a boat like the end of School Days or some shit. Also Kasane remembers we never finished the plotline of Ruri’s stalker so she knocks him out and pins all of the Hollywood murders Ruri did on him to both save her and remove from play her martyr complex shenanigans. Seiji and Mika are gonna go chase after Celty’s head in the US and Namie’s gonna work with Shinra’s dad doing… idk evil pharmaceutical shit prolly working for Suitengu from back in the Speed Grapher review. Izaya’s half dead and wants nothing to do with Ikebukuro anymore and is taken away by the two people that don’t want to actively kill him in the entire city, Kinda funny his whole motivation was to be carried away by a valkyrie during a war of his own making and now that he finally gets his wish and would potentially be a martyr he just wants to get the fuck out of dodge because he couldn’t drag anyone down with him and didn’t get to have Celty take him to heaven or whatever. Varona says goodbye to Shizuo and goes to clean up her Russian Mob mess though she promises to return to fight him again… with words, because ain’t nobody beating Shizuo in a fistfight and Varona no longer has a death wish. Aoba’s working on being Izaya 2.0 but Mr. Akabayashi tells him to stay the fuck away from Mikado while he does it or else the real mafia will be on his ass and the Orihara sisters plug the chat room one more time and I realize those two kinda didn’t do anything the whole story like there was absolutely no point to them except to be ridiculously cute which hey they succeeded. Celty goes back to life with Shinra and Mikado wakes up and presumably tells Anri and Masaomi what’s up with him, all the while noting that he’ll take life for what it is because whether it’s crazy or ordinary it’s real and it’s his and there’s value in that. What a nice message to end on, that’s really kinda cool, this series does kinda have a problem with climaxes not actually changing anything like that status quo for the show is basically the same throughout except for adding more character and they kinda do this thing where it seems like shit has happened but nothing’s really changed and they still KINDA do that here but Mikado’s good with his life, gang wars are done for now, Izaya’s gone (possibly dead but definitely left) and everyone gets an ‘the adventure continues’ kinda ending, ngl I woulda liked some more finality for some of these stories but for what it is this kind of story is just kind of a snapshot of various lives that keep going. Also like… is everyone just still possessed by Saika? Like half the fucking city got cut and we never resolve that, Sloane got possessed and he’s just fine in the end like it seems to be something you can turn off and not notice but like thousands of people are just subconsciously part of this hive mind now I guess.

Anyway I’ll probably do something light for the next week or so and figure something out to do a Valentine’s Marathon for that weekend and after that I may look into some new shows after I see what regular Toonami is replacing Yashahime and Made in Abyss with, might look into Jujitsu Kaisen, Spy x Family or Chain Dude Saw Guy depending on what they pick up.

CHARACTERS IN THIS: Solm Kingdom (original retainer order was Merrin, Panette, Pandreo, Brunet. Changed for image reasons here.)

Timerra (VA: Ami Koshimizu) is the crown princess of the Kingdom of Solm, and Fogato’s older sister. She has an innocent and cheerful personality, perhaps because she was brought up in freedom-loving Solm. Although she was educated to be the next Queen, Timerra grew up extremely freely and easily gets along with anyone.

They went way too hard on the ‘exotic foreign dark skinned people’ in her design, in my opinion. I’m really glad that her skin is genuinely dark and that they don’t seem to be playing her as wild or aggressive like they have some of their other darker characters in the past, but it’s still a tad unfortunate that there’s nothing about her design that tells you where she’s from. The balls are huge (teehee), and I think I’d like them more if they were a tiny bit smaller, but they add something fun to her design. I guess we’ll have to wait and see on if her personality is also treated as ‘oooo exotic and foreign’ or if they do manage to be normal about her in her supports and main story. I do like that she’s the crown princess, though. It’ll be interesting to see if her kingdom is matriarchal, if she was born first, or if she and her brother competed and she won.

Fogato (VA: KENN) is the first prince of the Kingdom of Solm, and Timerra’s younger brother. Because the Queen inherits Solm’s throne, he grew up even more freely than his older sister and has an optimistic and easy-going personality. Apparently he’s traveling around the country to safeguard his people.

That answers that question, then. We’ve had a lot of royalty who go travel the country to help their people in Fire Emblem, and even though it’s a terrible idea logically I’m down for it. It’s good to have the royalty help people personally so I can push down my guillotine agenda for them. Anyway, where all all the balls on his outfit, huh? He’s not gonna make his sister bear them alone? It’s annoying the sheer difference between their outfits; while I don’t want him to also be ‘sexy brown person’, I wish his sister didn’t have to be either. Anyway, two easygoing freedom loving siblings.

Panette (VA: Yukina Shutō) is a royal knight from Solm. She’s Timerra’s retainer and Pandreo’s little sister. She’s extremely polite with her words. Despite her refined manners, she has unique tastes, such as a fondness of ghosts and insects. | Although she’s polite and graceful, she used to be a lot more wild, and remants of her wild behaviour can be seen when she fights.

Why are you white. I like her little mouth scars, but again, black and fur in the desert is not a great idea. She’s gonna get heat stroke and sunburn horribly. Good for her on the ghosts and insects I guess. She’s an axe user?? I like her full dress but I was assuming she was a mage, she’s going to fucking die out there. You cannot tell from her appearance she’s from Solm. Send her to the emo girl country.

Bunet (VA: Tomohiru Ono) is a royal chef from Solm, and Fogado’s retainer. A research fanatic who operates on his own wavelength. He’s always on the hunt for new ingredients.

OH MY GOD WHY ARE THEY ALL WHITE. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. WHY. His outfit is fine but boring, it’s what I would expect an NPC knight to wear. His hair is… The same. He’s really boring in appearance, though his personality seems fine.

Merrin (VA: Nanako Mori) is a royal knight from Solm, and Timerra’s retainer. She’s a knight with a fresh and extravagant vibe, who tries to look good every day. Loves all animals, especially rare beasts, and gets fully immersed when seeing them.

WHY ARE YOU WHITE…… I love that I couldn’t tell she was a woman at all though, gnc icon. Her furs don’t really make any sense for living in the desert, though, and neither do all the dark colors she’s wearing. I’m still not a fan of her being white though, even if it turns out she’s from another kingdom. Animal person ??? She had a tail in the video.

Pandreo (VA: Genki Okawa) is a royal knight from Solm. He’s Fogado’s retainer and Panette’s big brother. Loves having the time of his life. Although he doesn’t seem serious, he’s actually a very devoted and sincere clergyman.

Why…. Are you…. White… He looks like a little bitch and I can’t tell if I like him or not. He’s the only one dressed in colors similar to the prince and princess of his nation of these 4 retainers. He’s covering up well enough for the desert, but with how tight those clothes are he’s still going to be battling heat stroke. I like the little rope connector, and I’ve just realized but what religion is he a clergyman for? Us? He looks Christian.

Seadall (VA: Shogo Sakamoto) is a renowned dancer from Solm, who’s well versed at reading fortunes. Has a glamorous charm and a mysterious air to him. He sometimes says spiteful things, but is especially kind to those he’s fond off.

Why are you white. You’re going to burn alive and of heat stroke. Why does he have chains connected to a collar around his neck? Does Solm practice slavery? If they do I’ll be forced to execute everyone from Solm and I really don’t want to have to do that. His personality is pretty standard, especially the last part, but whatever I guess. Idk how glamorous someone who’s a dick can be but who knows. Okay I watched the battle show off and his outfit seems orientalist and awful as usual. Maybe the view was bad but god can they stop doing this. Also his chain scarves are in the Gr*ffyndor and H*fflepuff house colors and I only noticed because both of them were there and looked like scarves. Anyway trans people fucking rock and ily guys sm

hi hellow i've been planning this post for two months anniversary today so

HERE ARE MY OPINIONS ON THE RELEASED CHARACTERS OF ENGAGE but i might not do all of them and this is only their blurb and physical appearance unless i know more ty

Something I’ve noticed while doing this is the sheer amount of siblings there are?? Is there going to be a plot reason (I hope not honestly) or did a writer go ‘wait, it was pretty rare for royals to only have one kid because of the high chances of childhood death and stuff’ or did a twincest writer win the kink lottery or ? Why are there so many siblings… It makes me wonder if the Alear you don’t pick is going to be evil or something.

Why are there so many mount users in the desert? Can horses traverse sand now?? I always hated that mechanic but it was because it made you work around it. Except that you never had enough fliers or mages to actually work around it. Why are there wolves in the desert?

everything taken from serenes forest because its convenient godbless

image and text formatting is to make it not godawful on mobile

CHARACTERS IN THIS: Firene / Firenese characters, the three dragon guardians + Anna

Céline (VA: Akari Kitō) is the first princess of the Firenese Kingdom and Alfred’s younger sister. She’s a kind and innocent philanthropist who always strives to solve things peacefully. However, she won’t hesitate to fight for peace if necessary.

I hate the weird lace stuff and the fact that she just ... does not have a shirt. She looks too young for that to be interesting instead of 'girl what the fuck' and the sheer lace texture would be a genuine nightmare. she's another 'kind and innocent younger sister princess' which like, i feel like we've had at least one in every game, but whatever, the people like what they like.

Alfred (VA: Ryōhei Kimura) is the first prince of the Firenese Kingdom, a brisk young man who battles alongside the Divine Dragon. He’s a kind, disciplined and flower-loving pursuer of happiness.

I like that he has lace as well, it ties him and his sister together. I like his little leafy crown and that he has a love of flowers strong enough to be mentioned in his mini blurb. I don’t like that he’s Dimitri’s little brother, basically. Having one of the first companions look so similar to a protagonist from the last mainline game feels annoying. Also, the yellow white clothes, pale skin, blond hair, and black lines of lace make him look like a bee to me.

Chloé (VA: Saori Hayami) is a palace knight from the Kingdom of Firene. She’s easy-going and adores her liege, Princess Céline. Loves fairy tales and pretty scenery and is always seeking a picturesque combination of the two.

i dont like the boobed breastily down the stairs vibe of her armor (which really isn't armor) but if she's one of the few like it then i can accept it as a character trait. i don't like the armor period, though, it has a lackluster feel to it. I'm really hoping for an s rank between her and Celine. Chloe likes Fairy Tail Aesthetic because she likes Celine, who has a Fairy Tail Aesthetic. This is my most beloved and sapphic headcanon.

Etie (VA: Tomomi Mineuchi) is a palace knight from the Kingdom of Firene. She’s a noble lady who exudes elegance. Has a positive and active personality; devotes all her time to body-building

I like her facial expression, and I think her hair is cute without being overbearing. I like that she's stated to be noble and extremely elegant while also doing bodybuilding. I like how it's a 'yes and,', not an 'even though'. I don’t like that what I thought was a dress is a crop top, though. I think it’s better as a dress.

Louis (VA: Haruki Ishiya) is a palace knight from the Kingdom of Firene. He’s a gentle servant wearing massive armour. He always pays attention to how his friends are faring and seems happy whenever he sees them at peace.

Hello Kellam with curly hair. His arms remind me of Ruin Guards from genshin impact, actually. I don’t like armor knights much (i really value mobility and the sheer defense of armor knights has never been necessary for me to beat maps, even in the GBA games), but maybe his personality will convince me to use or reclass him. From what I’ve seen, I doubt it. I like the pointer clicker on his armor.

Boucheron (VA: Toru Sakurai) is a palace knight from the Kingdom of Firene. He’s a polite and kind young man. Born with a good physique and highly tolerant of others.

Logically the green accents on orange shirt is fucking hideous, but they manage to make it work with his armor, which keeps the orange from being extremely loud and the green from looking horrendous. He’s not that striking physically but for some reason I want to sit on his stomach and stare at his face for an hour. Also touch his face ??? I like that his tolerance of others is important enough to be mentioned here; I hope he has supports with people from other nations and when they do something not commonly done in his nation he’s like ‘oh, that’s pretty neat’ or the like. Maybe they did western market research and he’ll be a himbo lol.

Framme (Sayaka Senbongi) is a 33rd generation Dragon Guardian, protecting the Divine Dragon at the Land of Lythos. She’s Cramme’s younger twin sister and more determined and lively compared to her brother.

I like her shirt and gloves. I think they're fun. her hat nd scarf don't feel battlefieldy but y'know what, sure, go styling. Honestly I think she looks really cute with the soft bob cut so I wish she didn’t have that braid of hair(?), but the ribbon braided in makes it interesting. I like lively kid characters as long as they aren’t annoying about it, and twins / siblings can be fun if the writers aren’t annoying about it. The contrast between simple sleeveless shirt+skinny arms, and the huge thick gloves, scarf and hat gives her an energy that I really love. All the colors pair together extremely well.

Cramme (Kōhei Amasaki) is a 33rd generation Dragon Guardian, protecting the Divine Dragon at the Land of Lythos, alongside Vander. He is Framme’s older twin brother and was by Alear’s side when they awoke. A gentle priest who serves–and is also a fan of–Alear.

The fact that he’s outright a fan is…. Odd? I’m not going to say bad but we’ll have to wait and see. I love his braid and that it pairs with his sisters. I think his colors pair together less well than his sisters do, but I’m always a slut for arm cuffs. I like that he’s green, black, and beige to his sister’s white, pink, and beige. It’s a fun way to contrast and compare them. I wish the outfits themselves matched a bit more.

Vander (VA Yōji Ueda) is a 32nd generation “Dragon Guardian”, protectors of the Divine Dragon at the Land of Lythos. Cared for Alear who was asleep for ages and a reliable ally who’s sworn loyalty to Alear. Very serious and strict; the guardians’ mission is at the forefront of his mind.

Our jagen!! I really like his beard and hair. How many families got conscripted into staring at my bedroom? I wonder if the care was anything more intensive than standing guard at the doors of wherever it was and running off bandits and treasure hoarders. I’m curious if they entered the building on a daily basis [ for cleaning and making sure everything is okay, or maybe they live there? ], only on special occasions [ deep cleaning every few months or year or for festivals ] or fuckin never and only patrolled the perimeter. We’ll get the answer I’m sure, but I’m curious regardless. Relatedly, I’m curious if there were any signs of Alear waking up? If they knew it was beginning to happen or if it was completely out of the blue. 30 generations of your family getting paid to do nothing, and now you have to fight a cross continental war for the planet or some shit. 

Anna (VA: Saori Seto) is a merchant-in-training. It seems she’s traveling around each country, in search of treasures that can be sold for a high price.

She’s a lot cuter than her FE3H incarnation, thats for sure. It’s probably the posing but she’s actually super cute. Nice outfit that is visually solid without being overly complex and puff sleeves. I dig it. I’m interested to find out what merchant means as a class. We likely aren’t getting a separate convoy again, but (bold take) I actually found it fun. In training is fun; I wonder if we’ll see the endless amount of Anna’s again. I hope so. I hope she has supports again, and it’ll be great if it’s with people other than Alear. It’s interesting that her job / class is first and her name is below it, unlike all of the other character cards.

Thinking abt Yukina unconsciously soaking up purr's friend's habits like a sponge

[nutton-of-tata]

my actual rank of the jr boys based on my correct opinions

its the actual good series time to be ranked, enjoy my reasonings lmfao.

ranked from best to worst in my humble opinion.

8. Usami Akihiko

People who hate Usagi want to be different so bad. Y'all wanna act like you're so special. Well you ain't, youre just a twitter user. ANYWAY, usagi is literally my favorite character like. ever. Man children are hot when theyre fictional. AND he's problematic, hurray!

please breastfeed me sir

7. Takahashi Misaki

Literally what is there to even dislike about him besides being mean sometimes?? i love him

6. Shinobu Takatsuki

I like him cause i also harass people i like

5. Miyagi Yoh

i like him because

because because

because

he's old (not really but whatever you say, shinobu)

4. Isaka Ryuuchiro

Honestly, Isaka is...nice. I like his personality...that's it. He and Asahina definitely have the healthiest and most realistic relationship, but are we just gonna forget he literally BELIEVED that Asahina wanted to bone his dad? Not that that's a bad thing, that was literally hilarious in terms of jealousy. Most sane Jr character.

3. Asahina Kaoru

he looks like he votes third party

2. Nowaki Kusama

Sweet angel who could probably kill a man with his bare hands but honestly, other than that, the same issue i had with Yukina, he's just...too normal. Too regular. Sweet but what else is there?

Hiroki Kamijo

People who claim Hiroki as a favorite are either the most insufferable people online or are extremely nice and loving. But he is my least favorite. The first chapter alone made me dislike him.

he looks like he voted for trump because he thought he would help the economy with jobs then regretted it cause he didnt get rich immediately

Slow Burn (1/?)

Nanami Kento x Fem!Reader (character named for smoother writing, but characteristics are insertable) | Fic | 01, 02, 03

DNI if you are a MINOR or TRIGGERED BY DARK CONTENT

Challenge: Write a fic in which Nanami Kento and significant other are not already in an established relationship. Condition: Nanami must overcome his denseness.

Nanami and Yukina meet after being assigned to work together to exorcise a curse that consumes children. I mean, it's a pretty predictable plot. But like...what do you want from me? I'm here for romance.

first fic in a while - be nice, will probably be slow ofc, might be long imo, no smut (yet), language

A stack of papers sat at Yukina's desk. It was left there by Nitta, an auxiliary manager from Tokyo Jujutsu High. Earlier that day, Yukina was asked by Principal Gakuganji to exorcise a curse that had appeared near the Tokyo campus. Apparently, the ratio of curses to sorcerers had grown too high, and the Jujutsu High staff at both campuses have been spread thin. Being the only two sorcerers left, Yukina was instructed to work with a certain Nanami Kento to deal with a high-level curse.

"What can you tell me about Nanami Kento, Nitta-san?" Yukina asked, smiling gently at the manager. Nitta was scrolling through her work emails on her phone. She looked up briefly as she thought about how to answer Yukina's question before she continued scrolling.

"Repressed, I'd say," the blonde answered before excusing herself. Though she was intrigued by that description, Yukina didn't follow-up with anymore questions. Nitta was clearly busy with other things.

With a slightly overwhelmed sigh, Yukina raked through the records regarding her soon-to-be coworker. Though it was a tedious task, she knew that learning more about her peer would result in a more synergistic work relationship, which would ultimately increase their chances of success.

Nanami Kento was a 27 year old jujutsu sorcerer. The death of his friend during his formative years sent him spiraling away from his life's calling - helping others using his jujutsu. He chose to pursue a career in the business world as a salaryman, making the rich richer. After a few years of falling into a rut, he found that this line of work was shit and grew to resent it. Would it come to anyone's surprise that this man was repressed? At least, that's what Yukina thought as she finished skimming through the Tokyo Jujutsu High reports.

'He's probably one of those serious, standoff-ish types,' Yukina's thoughts drifted before reminding herself to focus.

According to the reports, Nanami was typically level-headed person who thought before he acted. His technique involved the use of a blunt blade, which meant his attacks were short-distanced. The likelihood that he was skilled at melee was probably high. Yukina propped her cheek on the palm on her hand, elbow pressed atop her desk. It sounded as though their respective techniques would compliment each other's. If he went on the offensive with his technique, she could support him from afar with hers.

With another sigh, she stood up from her desk. 'I guess it's time to meet the man.'

"There has been a surge of incoming reports regarding missing children at the local parks. The general public believes there is a kidnapper loose, but one child claimed to see another disappear into thin air." Ijichi pushed his glasses up before continuing his debriefing, "The curse may be a level 1 or a special grade. You have been assigned to exorcise this curse with one of Kyoto's sorcerers as a precautionary measure."

Mildly intrigued, Nanami asked cooly, "Which sorcerer?"

"Yukina is her name," Ijichi answered, looking at Yukina's details on his tablet. "An ice user, it seems."

"Ice?"

"Yes, according to the files, Yukina is able to form ice using water particles in the air. The ice is then used to pierce through her enemies, at a maximum distance of--"

"...a kilometer," a voice rang through the air.

Nanami and Ijichi turned towards the classroom door. There stood a woman of [short/average/tall] stature, with [your choice] colored hair. Her [color] eyes pierced through Nanami's glasses.

"Well, don't stop on my account," the woman said, her tone teasing.

"Yukina-san," Ijichi said, running his fingers across his tablet, "I thought I was scheduled to pick you up later. Ah! Yukina-san, this is Nanami-san."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Nanami said respectfully. Although what he said sounded neutral, it felt a bit cold to Yukina.

"Likewise," she reciprocated. He was already putting a wall up between them. She almost wanted to roll her eyes, knowing that distancing himself would only be counterproductive. Fighting alongside one another would yield better results if they were more trusting of each other, and she aimed to achieve that by the end of the night.

"Now that you two have been acquainted and debriefed, I'll be taking my leave," Ijichi said, "Please excuse me.l

Yukina waited for the door to close behind Ijichi. "Let's have dinner. I haven't eaten all day."

Surprisingly, Nanami chose the restaurant. Since he seemed particularly keen on this place, Yukina assumed he'd know which items were best and insisted that he decide for her. She sat across from Nanami at one of the restaurant's circular tables. It was a cute little hole-in-the-wall eatery, not a hint of luxury or pretentiousness anywhere. Yukina was mildly surprised. Nanami was a salaryman, and she made the assumption that he'd be picky with his choice of restaurants.

Other than that, Nanami seemed exactly how the records described him. Tall, strong build, straight-to-the-point. She had to admit that he was quite attractive, even with those shitty looking eyes -- the type that glared at you even when there was no malice behind them. She was used to that, since she had some herself. The words 'resting bitch face' came to mind.

She watched him as he ordered, not really listening to what he was saying, more focused on how he combed through the menu, dragging his finger down its plastic cover in the order the items were presented. 'Methodical,' she approved.

"What have you figured out?"

Yukina furrowed her brows, Nanami's voice calling her back to the present. All she could muster was: "Huh?"

Nanami leaned back against his seat, arms and legs crossed, yet not defensive. "You look like you've been trying to figure something out about me. And just now, your shoulders relaxed, which means you've found something."

Yukina chuckled, surprised that he was paying attention just as much as she was.

"I haven't. I was considering how you and I differed," she leaned against the table, resting her cheek on her palm. "Care to debrief me on the situation? I'm certain that you already devised a plan of attack."

Nanami appreciated that Yukina was keeping things on track.

"A curse has been kidnapping children around local parks. It is likely that the children are all dead."

"What if they aren't?"

"Do what you can to save the living."

"Even if that gets in the way of the mission?"

Nanami paused for a second, then responded, "Yes. We would just have to stop it before it harms another child."

"Sounds good to me. Where should we start?" Yukina asked, being mindful of her choice of words as the server approached to set their food on the table. Nanami's hand immediately went for the breadsticks.

"We can start scoping out the parks. We'll split up to cover more ground."

Yukina refused immediately. Nanami raised a brow, waiting for an explanation. "It's safer to go together."

Nanami considered her words for a moment. Was she scared of dying? It was understandable considering their line of work. But she didn't strike him as a "delicate" woman who might concern herself in that regard. There must be something else that worried her. He wanted to ask, but decided not to, realizing that it wouldn't change anything in the grand scheme of things.

"If you insist," Nanami responded.

Yukina smiled, "We're getting along so well already."

[helpfulbug]

for the blorbo meme, could I ask yyh? :3c 😄

YES i will always use any excuse to talk about yyh thank you sarah<3

i really like how u explained your answers a bit w dmc so ill also hide mine under a readmore: (also no emojis bc im on desktop i prommy well get through it no matter what tho)

GLUP SHITTO ASK MEME

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

anyone who follows my yyh posting knows im working on in theory a yukina specific au so obviously shes my fav:) shes the twin sister of hiei one of the main characters (the short troll doll shaped fellow) their mother was part of an ice demon culture where women bore only girls on their own but their mum went off and had a little fun and came back pregant w a girl (yukina) and a boy (hiei) she gave birth to both of them and while she was still down from giving birth they made her best friend throw hiei off a cliff and assumed he died.... so he had his whole shonen character orgin story but never forgot where he came from and returned there as a teen. their mother had died and his sister had set out to find him. the only thing she had to go on was the "tear" of her mother bc ice demons shet tears that turn into extremely valueable pearls so shes looking for her brother who will ofc recognize his pearl. she enters the story when the gang learns a demon has been kidnapped and is being abused bc of her valuable tears and they learn its hieis sister when he kamikazes the guys holding her....she immediatly recognizes smth in him and he asks him who he is but he just responds w "no one" and after that they have this weird relationship of recognition but hiei can never tell her hes her brother for reasons i cant explain bc this is already like a page of text so tldr: scorpio legend back story and relation to the main charas that make me cry and throw up every single day of my life killer design i need to stop now i could go on forever one of my ALL TIME FAV CHARACTERS EVER (im so mad she gets sidelined that im actively working on an au)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

im gonna go the creature route here once more and say puu!! bc hes literally shaped^^ hes connected to the main character and supposed to show yusukes innermost self so he feels everything he feels and changes w yusuke over the course of the story i wont say too much but know theres some instances of puu that slay me on impact everytime i experience them.......CREATURE

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

not really underappreciated in the tumblr scene but GENKAI you might know her from my old url shes the legendary gamer grandma!!! shes just an old as shit tiny women who can shoot lasers and has an arcade in her home w games that she herself has to put quarters in i love her sm if u say anything mean about her she will kill you on the spot or beat u in street fighters at her house whatever works for her

again slightly spoilers but the way she and the first big antagonist are connected and play off eachother......togashi literally invented femism here (and uninvented it w biski in hxh)

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

koto!!!! togashis mind when he wrote the quintessential tournament arc and had the whole thing commentated and refereed by women. koto is just in the ring to see violence and blood and will complain if someone is having a shonen character monologue instead of fighting her design is also really cool shes a fox girl w a microphone doing backflips!! she sadly only really appears in the tournaments but when she does.....you know i go insane!!!!!

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

i can say this in good faith bc im part of the elite tumblr users who can experience the chapter black arc w a gay gaze like it was meant to be consumed bc hes very fucked up but also he was brainwashed as a child so whatever maybe hes right also i will be sending him to super hell very shortly

if were going less villian and more main character i have to say kuwabara bc i think a lot of ppl think hes super annoying and loud but hes actual the blueprint for all gay shonen boys out there....if your reaction to getting punched in the face is "omg he remembered my name" bestie.....i have news for you. also actually fits the description of poor little meow meow

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

koenma im 100% sure he inspired boss baby also hes collecting child soldiers and manipulating them bc hes too lazy to do his job when this doesnt work out he just looks for someone new who cares what happens to the last guy if i say acab im including koenma in this

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

as promised sensui and itsuki go to superhell i mean is it any different than spending eternity in the void at least there will be other gay ppl so youre welcome:)

also kurama bc hes commited crimes (in a funny way) and is fruity (im banking on him escaping i just think it would be funny if he was in there for a bit)

but also dont pretty much all of our main cast take vacation jobs in demon world in one part of the story.......so theyve all at least BEEN to superhell i guess
