duel husbands | k. nanami & tatsu

tags: fem reader + repost + mini reverse harem + househusbands! Tatsu & Kento + fluff + domesticity + food + foot massage + they're both so fucking in love + they pamper you + explicit smut + I just want them to take care of me + will be writing more about them + fun fact; they also share the same Japanese VA!

Five o'clock could not come fast enough, the time ticked by slowly as some sort of eff you from the world for wishing things would go by faster when all you wanted to do was go home to your husbands.

Tatsu would most likely be the one cooking dinner while Kento tended to the chores and whatever was left of the laundry he couldn't finish yesterday. Your fingers thrummed against the desk, your eight-to-five job was draining but worth it and you did love it mostly.

You thought about the two men at home who awaited your return patiently ready to listen to speak about your day while they pampered and loved on you, it is what you deserve after working hard so they could stay home and take care of that.

A lot of people thought it was backward with how they stayed at home and even more strange that you have two husbands, but it wasn't no one's business and you were happy and so were they.

It was probably the perverse thought that most people had. How does a three-way marriage work? Time, understanding, communication, honestly and just being open does wonders for it.

When people ask that at your job when they find out, especially the women who would light up at your gushing, not about one man but two who worship the ground you walk on and the air you breathe.

"Thinking about your handsome hunks?" One co-worker asked in a teasing voice when she came closer with her bag strapped against her chest with a smile knowing the dreamy look on your face was for.

Your lips tugged into a wider smile as you stood from your desk wanting to go home now when you added your weight to your feet. "I am yes, you ladies have a wonderful evening!" You called out softly.

It didn't take you long to get home, only a twenty-minute track which Tatsu tracked, his phone pinged when you left your job. Not because he doesn't trust you but because he likes to make sure you're safe.

"How long?" Kento murmured from his spot in front of the TV, his eyes trained on the stain on the stand that made his eye twitch because it wouldn't come off. "Two minutes." Tatsu answered.

After four years of marriage, they both had it down to pat now, when to greet you at the door and help shed your clothes off before Kento guided you to the couch into his lap where he massaged your shoulders all the while Tatsu fed you making sure to kiss you.

They both enjoyed this more than anything else, but however, sometimes they didn't like that you had to work long hours leaving them home alone. "Thank you, my babies, how was the day?"

Tatsu stood in front of you letting you trace his scar as he looked up at you from kneeling down to take your high heels off. "It was good, we went to the store and did our duties. How about you?" Kento asked as he stood behind you taking your jacket off with a kiss.

His lips felt warm against the back of your neck as you pulled away from them. "Tiring, my feet hurt so much and I'm exhausted." That was all they needed to hear before you ended up on the couch.

Kento had your feet in his lap making sure his fingers hit the right spot watching your face while your other husband Tatsu made work of your back. After they both took turns feeding and loving on you the dishes were done and the three of you were on the couch now.

You were propped against Tatsu with Kento on the other side of the couch, sometimes you even wondered how they could share you, the jealously did come out and play at times but thankfully they both love you enough to work through it, to them, you're their stars and moon.

"What are you thinking about pretty girl?" Ken asked as he propped his elbow on the ledge wearing nothing but a soft t-shirt and Pj pants, the same as Tatsu and they both looked so good. "Dick."

Tatsu's hands stilled under your shirt as he glanced over at Kento from your shoulder. You giggled a little and nuzzled into Tatsu letting your foot gently grind against Kento's growing bulge. "You two are so good to me, now let me take care of you both. Ok?" You hummed.

They would never say no to that and that's how you ended up face-first in Kento's lap, his dick hitting the back of your throat with your ass bouncing up and down Tatsu's cock with fast movements.

It was a chorus of sinful moans and wet suctioning when they bottomed out inside you on opposite thrusts. Your lips stretched around Ken as Tatsu bullied your most sensitive spot making you buck against him, your back arching higher into the air.

It was incredible how they wove their love into each action they did, fingers and hands ghosted across your sweaty and flushed skin pulling you closer to them getting needy in their own desires to cum.

Both of them panted and petted your heated body as your own climax rose to the surface, the couch creaked with their thrusts that became sloppy when you came clenching around their cocks.

Tatsu was always the last one to cum, and you were the first one, sometimes Kento and you could do it together but you're the one who gets to feel the complete pleasure taking you under.

When they pulled out their cocks softening under the cool air of the living room Kento pulled you into his lap to kiss your face while Tatsu grabbed some tissue to clean you up while kissing your ankles. After that you pulled yourself into the shower with the help of Kento.

An hour later the three of you piled into bed under the covers, dry and naked but warm with limbs tangled together as you lay between the both of them letting their heads rest on your chest as you three spoke about the day and this weekend, it was your wedding anniversary.

an; I know this is all rushed and stuff but I just love them so much and Tatsu has no content really :(

Sex therapy is what works the best (Pedri x Reader x Ferran)

Warnings: Ferran is not dating Sira, Pedri thinks a good fuck is what his friend needs to get back to his top level, smut, Pedri watches his best friend fuck his girlfriend, sorry not sorry Ferran is hot, mentions of the internet asking for Ferran's head because of his recent performance on the club, lots of Spanish

Masterlist

Ferran is disappointed in himself, another bad match and half of the Internet beating him down, asking for his departure from the team. His psychologist says its all in his head, that once he gets mentally better everything else will do too. He can't help but doubt it, he thinks he is bad, he won't get out of this one, and like the memes say, he will do better to start learning, Chinese or Japanese because he most likely will end up playing there.

He is a shell of himself seating in one of the corners of the changing room as his teammates celebrate the victory when he feels to taps on his shoulder, Pedri sits next to him, watching him with sorrow, the midfielder feels sorry for his friend.

"Venga, que no pasa nada, ya lo harás mejor en el próximo partido" he tries to cheer him up, but the other shakes his head. (come on, it's nothing, you will do better on the next match)

"Dudo que Xavi me vuelva a sacar tras el desastre de hoy" (I doubt Xavi will have me on the field again after today's disaster)

"Que va, ya verás que si, chacho. Todo está en tu cabeza, una vez te olvides de lo que dicen los gilipollas de Twitter, todo irá mejor" (no way, you will see, man. Everything is in your head, once you forget what those assholes in Twitter say, everything will be better)

Ferran has his face buried on his hands, hiding his dreadful expression from his friend "¿Y que pasa si no está todo dentro de mi cabeza? Capaz es que simplemente doy asco. Llevo ya meses en el psicólogo, hago un partido bueno, y luego todo vuelve a lo de siempre" (and what if it's not all inside my head? Maybe I simply suck. I have been at the psychologist for months, I do a good match, then everything goes back to the same as alway)

His friend is quiet for a second, before saying "Creo tengo una idea para sacarte de la mala racha" (I think I have an idea to get you out from the losing streak)

"Tú estás mal de la cabeza" Ferran tells him once they are on his friend's car after dropping off Gavi, the other shakes his head. (you are sick in the head)

"Que va, tú hazme caso. Lo que te falta a ti es una buena follada para liberar estrés" (no way, you pay attention to what I say. What you need is a good fuck to release stress)

"¿Una buena follada con tu novia?" he asks, unbelieving, Ferran is sure Pedri is on weed or something. (a good fuck with your girlfriend?)

"¿Por qué no?" (why not?)

"¿Y que pasa si ella no quiere?" (and what if she doesn't want to?)

"Lo hará. Si escucharas las cosas que dice sobre ti no tendrías dudas. Que si estás cachondisimo que si no se que" (she will. If you heard the stuff she says about you, you would have no doubts. That you are so hot, and more that I can't remember)

The two boys arrive to the house you share with Pedri and Fer, though the midfielder knows his brother to be out with some chick. They hear your low humming and feel the delicious smell of whatever you are cooking. You are distracted when they see you, dressed in Barça's shirt after having to miss the match to study, it's big on you and hides the shorts that Ferran guesses you are wearing. You dance around the kitchen to the sound of Quevedo and Pedri has a giant smile on his face as he watches while Ferran struggles to keep his eyes from your ass. You were indeed only wearing panties under the blue and red shirt.

"¿Te la pasas bien?" (having fun?)

You spin around on record time and are on your boyfriend's arm as soon as you recognise his voice, lips meeting his as you congratulate him on their win, you get off him and also embrace Ferran in a not-so-tight hug and give him your congratulations too.

"¿Tienes hambre, Ferran? Hice suficiente comida para todos" (are you hungry, Ferran? I made enough food for everyone)

"Tiene hambre, pero no de tu comida" (he is hungry, but not for your food)

Ferran hits his friend to shut him up as he laughs, you give them a confused look but choose to ignore your boyfriend's idiotic comments.

It is not until you three are sat eating dinner, when Pedri's plan reaches your ears and you understand everything.

That is how you end up like this, on all fours as Ferran pounds into you from the back, Pedri is sat on a corner watching everything while pumping his dick.

It's impossible for you to contain your moans, your boyfriend's best friends dick reaching incredibly deep inside you, almost kissing your cervix as he brings you in closer by the strong grip on your waist.

"¿Qué tal te vas sintiendo, Ferran? Ella parece que bien" your boyfriend comments, watchful gaze on your forms, how your head is buried by Ferran's hand into the pillow, but not even that can quiet the angelic noises coming from you. (how are you doing, Ferran? She seems to be having fun)

"No entiendo como la dejas sola ni un momento, con lo puto apretada que está, parece que estoy en el cielo" (I don't understand how you even leave her alone for a second, with how fucking tight she is, it feels like I am in heaven)

"Una buena folladita por la mañana y por la tarde y vas tirando. Después de los partidos fuera, hay que recuperar" (a good fuck on the morning and afternoon. After away matches you make up for it)

Pedri's grip on his own dick tightens too, but his hand doesn't compare to the real thing as he watches Ferran abandone your insides, spin you around, your eyes on each other and mouths meeting, your leg on the boy's shoulder, making you let out a scream when he again slams into you. From Pedri's position, he can see your eyes filling up with pleasure tears, your nails bury into his friend's back, surely leaving marks that won't go away on the next few days. Ferran's lips meet you neck, sucking on it, he too wants to leave a mark, Pedri doesn't mind, one hickey doesn't even compare to what he always leaves on you.

You watch Ferran through your teary eyes, you are in a haze, can't really manage to think straight at all. You look down, watching as his cock slams repeatedly into you, how his abs clench, as do his thick thighs that you have always drooled about -all with Pedri's permission. He reaches down again to make out with you, his chain moving as violently as his hips do, the cool metal buries into your chest as he lets go of your leg, his big hands on your ass picking you up and seating you on those thighs you love so much, still pounding into you as hard in that position while also helping you ride him, moving you as if you were a ragdoll as your moans get louder and hold into his strong shoulders.

You eyes meet Pedri's, he winks at you and you clench when you see his cum all over his strong stomach and thighs, still pumping his dick in a slower matter, Ferran groans at your tighter self, the sound getting you closer to the edge until you finally let yourself go, making everything wetter than it already is.

You can feel Ferran's balls clenching under you as he trembles, he too is close, you reach down and massage them, that makes it for him. He gives you the last few thrusts, stronger than any before and cums deep inside you, you are glad you are in birth control. He trembles as you hop off his dick, your hands massaging his chest up and down to help him come down from the extasis of his orgasm, he was ashamed to confess it had been a while since the last time he had one from another person and not his hand.

"Ayúdala a limpiarse, ¿no?" Ferran nods with gone eyes, his thighs still tremble, yet not as hard as yours, he struggles to stand up, Pedri stops him "Con la lengua Ferran, así es mejor" (help her clean herself, no? With your tongue Ferran, it's better that way)

The boy nods, strong hands gripping into your thighs, keeping you in place as his tongue licks from you hole to your clit, lips wrapping and sucking on it as you can't help but move around. One arm wraps around your waist, the other leads his fingers into your hole, pushing in whatever cum has come out, pumping once or twice, you are so sensitive that you cum again in no time. Ferran separates as you push his head away from your clit, he places a kiss on your cheek and falls down next to you.

Pedri stands up, and walks towards you two "Descansen qué ahora me toca a mi follar y tú por la boca" (rest that's it's now my turn to fuck and yours in her mouth)

That night is a long one, your bed is a bit small for the three of you, but you make it work. The next morning there are promises to repeat the experience, no bad performance from Ferran needed as an excuse, but now know that if the bad performance continues, Ferran will for surely attend this therapy asides from the one with his psychologist.

Needless to say, maybe Pedri was right about the whole thing, as the next match Ferran starts in, he leaves the field with a goal and an assistance on his back, the whole Internet praising him as the hypocrites they all are.

That night, the three of you celebrate, the therapy will for sure continue.

I didn't see this anywhere, so I decided to translate the tarot section of Yu-Gi-Oh! Bunkobon Volume 21, which provides commentary on Bakura Ryou as "The Fool" card. I was very excited to start this due to my longstanding disappointment with Ryou's general absence and lack of role during the Memory World arc, and I was interested in how he related to the tarot he represented.

Well, as I read and kept on reading, it became apparent that this was quite different from what I hoped for. "This isn't the content I was expecting to glean off of it," were my words when I was livetweeting my progress, and I'll elaborate later because this... went... somewhere, I guess?

Some caveats before we start:

This, and all the other tarot write-ups in the other Bunkobons, was not written by Takahashi-sensei but by a person credited as CoZo (see top left corner of the last image below)

Due to the amount of Japanese culture it absolutely immersed me in, I had this peer reviewed by a Japanese native (thank you, ash!) for errors and to make sure the translation was as accurate as possible without much loss to nuances

Related to point two, I also conducted my own research (I dug deep, starting from a JP YGO message board all the way to a 2009 blog post about these same tarot pages by screaming machine gun-san, a prominent YGO doujinshi artist at the time who created the Bakura/Atem books "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN"), and links are available for clarification (mostly Wikipedia for ease of access, click on underlined/clickable words)

CoZo refers to the characters as such: Ryou as "Bakura Ryou" and Yami Bakura as "Dark Bakura"/"Bakura" (which was troubling and what confused me by the end of all this but more on that afterwards)

Quite the long post ahead! Please enjoy and share your thoughts! I'd love to hear them!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tarot Theater 63 0　◆　The Fool　◆ The Fool's Journey―Joker―

Making an appearance this time is Yugi’s old friend who turned out to be his greatest enemy, Bakura Ryou. Looking back to when he debuted in the fourth paperback volume, his name quickly foreshadowed that he would be the final enemy.

After repeated mistakes, he should have lost face many times over, yet his steps remain light without a shred of worry on his face. So, who exactly is he?

The name "Joker" is a name familiar to all―they pretentiously sat among dignitaries in medieval Europe, greatly raised the gambling nature of card games, were viewed in contempt by the church at the time because of it, but remained the beloved star of the masses in countryside plays. They appear in folklore around the world, sowing discord unprompted and then disappearing once there is nothing else for them to do.

Neither good nor evil. Seemingly dense but actually cunning. Causes great strife yet garners no hate. Catching Shakespeare's eye catapulted them to stardom―the jesters who served King Lear and King Oberon added conflict and vitality to their respective narratives by speaking to their kings in sarcastic tones and intruding in affairs within the royal palace. They even made it to the operas and the big screen, like J. Nicholson in recent years, playing the archnemesis in Batman, and F. Mercury, who also sang and danced…

A truly unparalleled existence in the literary history of mankind.

"You think they're the enemy, but when you look at them, they're among your allies, smiling innocently." Is that not exactly what Bakura Ryou is?

Despite entering the story fairly early, his first appearance in this project was near the end… But that is what the illustration is all about―an irreverent man with all the worldly wisdom of a fool.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tarot Theater 64 0　◆　The Fool　◆ Moral Neutrality―Tabula Rasa―

The card Dark Bakura and Yugi used in the Ultimate Dark Game… had a blank face. Thinking of a person or an object existing in memory will make them show up on it. But because only those that exist in memory may be imprinted on the card, Yugi cannot make something appear if it does not exist in memory.

Valuing the rules, Yugi is rendered at a loss. But Bakura, who does not care, summons and fuses non-standard monsters, steals Yugi's abilities, and counterattacks… all as he pleases. Bakura's resourcefulness and cunning stand out, and his mastery of mimicry proves itself as well, but this is where his weakness is exposed―even when nothing is off the table, Yugi is a cut above the rest in his ability to create original concepts that follow the rules and negate exploitative measures.

Tabula rasa… A blank slate. Where comic artists gladly bring their work to life. A pristine state where the greatest joy lies.

Nothingness… Ruin… A world stolen… I have seen heartrending paintings done by war orphans on the news and at exhibitions. Even the hearts of children suffering the ravages of war can be healed through art. Sadness unable to be put into words can only be expressed in pictures. While trying several strategies, therapists came up with "play therapy". Utilizing toys and games, it has been one of the few methods effective for young children with limited vocabulary and without ways to open their hearts though it has yet to be systemized.

Besides drawing, there are other means like creating miniature gardens, methods that use dolls and clay, and swordplay and playing catch for boys. The recent issue of Clinical Research in Psychology reports Saint Seiya as an example of a story wherein "an abandoned child becomes a hero", which was once represented by Susanoo. Perhaps it is for that reason that the series is popular even in South America. Even in Arab countries devastated by ongoing terorrism, one can see children's eyes light up at Captain Tsubasa.

The use of Yu-Gi-Oh! in psychotherapy is not in any way extraneous. On a cold, windy day a few years ago, over one hundred thousand children holding Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in their hands filled the streets of Makuhari, Chiba―and that sight, that excitement, is unforgettable.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tarot Theater 65 0　◆　The Fool　◆ An Untainted Soul Adrift―Trickster―

Society has long known the true identity of "The Fool". Passed down through myths and folklore, psychologists called them "Tricksters". Puck, Kokopelli, Goku, Ivan the Fool, Hans… In Japan, Susanoo, Hikoichi, Amanojaku, and so forth would fall under this category. When the Trickster's wicked side surfaces, they are called… Villains. Thieves. Imps. Violators of order… Those hold true for Bakura as well.

Yugi is a boy with numerous "shadows", and Bakura can be considered as one of them. Men with a darkness to them are said to be charming, but I think the charm lies in those who have the capacity to keep that darkness under control and not let it show.

Yes. Yugi had several shadows. An evil existence… which was Marik. A pharaoh, a dark presence sealed within the tomb of memory living in hiding for years. And then Bakura, the childishness Yugi is now breaking away from. Whenever Yugi sees Bakura, immature and unfailingly blithe, it frustrates him because it feels like looking at his old self. Yet despite this bewilderment, he is unable to let Bakura go.

This time, Bakura's juvenile nature brought forth unfathomable terror. The insatiable monstrosity that is boundless, childlike enthusiasm was about to wreak unimaginable destruction upon the world. Bakura's occasional euphoric glee after a rampage is characteristic of how a child expresses gratification. To him, world war and total annihilation could be "playfulness".

Delighting in foul play and mimicry, Bakura does not actually know how to "play". Back then, children had an omiso―they could be a child from out of town, the youngest of the group, the slowest among them, and the like―in their games who was given more lenient and special rules, so they could mingle with the others and all play together properly. When the omiso unexpectedly played more actively, they were then allowed more freedom in games. But children nowadays do not know of the olden days, are less likely to play in groups outside, and only play games with peers that are on the same level as them. For example, even if the wind sprite Matasaburou or a zashiki-warashi spirit came to play, they would not have any way to do so… A wise mother could then only prepare an abundance of snacks and say, "This is for you, spirit. Thank you for playing with us."

In this day and age, we have lost the sense to accept unique individuals like Sendai Shirou, who may be slow-witted but pleasant. Getting along with them hinges on "fun". Can Yugi and his friends play well with Bakura?

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tarot Theater 66 0　◆　The Fool　◆ Bakura Ryou

"The Fool" is wise in the ways of the world and an excellent imitator. Sometimes it is even very powerful. When the great boom of the Middle Ages ended, it was the only one able to slip into playing cards and stay relevant after the tarot was in decline. It can substitute for a missing card in a row in "Sevens", surprise the player with a loss in "Old Maid", and turn the tables at the last second as a wild card in "Poker". It is an outrageous cheat. And quite the pest. But despite all that, it is a reassuring ally when a dealt hand is lacking. After all, it can become any card. Evidently, "The Fool" is ineffective on its own but suddenly becomes extremely powerful when borrowing the strength of others. There are people like that all over the world, so understand their nature and get along with them well. However, it could turn out to be an unfavorable yet inescapable relationship.

Concept by CoZo

END.

This was an accomplishment and a half. But I'm far from feeling accomplished, just frustrated. In the end, barely anything written on there was directly about Ryou because I feel like CoZo lumped Bakura and Ryou together as one, which really bothered me. If it wasn't about Bakura, though, it was about Yugi (or Atem, not sure which one CoZo was referring to at any given time, really, since they were seemingly lumped in as one as well). Even Marik got a mention ("evil", quite the disservice of a mention too)! Nearly lost motivation finishing the translation, to be honest.

Overall, this seemed... off to me, especially the "Tabula Rasa" and "Trickster" pages. I can see where CoZo was coming from? Maybe? "Play therapy" (Ryou's talent for creating figurines/dioramas) for Ryou after experiencing a family tragedy... He's the omiso... His language is through (his love for) games... But I can't see Bakura as simply not knowing how to "play" or that world war and annihilation are mere "playfulness" to him (with the Kul Elna massacre plot point and all that). Yugi sees his old self in Bakura...? You lost me.

I'm not sure who CoZo is. I searched them up, found someone similar in name, but ultimately didn't learn who they were or what their background was or why they were featured in the Bunkobans (and I just didn't care enough). CoZo might be a tarot expert for all we know, but they didn't know much about the actual character they were talking about to effectively relate "The Fool" to them. And it shows! Like I said, they just talked about Bakura like he was Ryou, like they're the same character (which made me think of the DSOD theory that there isn't a "Bakura", just a Ryou corrupted by the Millennium Ring's evil, but that's neither here nor there).

I mentioned that I came across a 2009 blog post by screaming machine gun-san while researching (it was through them that I realized why this write-up was so confusing to me), and they said it best:

"Hey, commentators... Can you please separate Bakura Ryou, Thief King Bakura, and self-proclaimed 'Zorc' Dark Bakura? You can separate your burnables but not this chaos!? No matter how chaotic these three are, this is not chaos!"

Look, I get it. The Bakuras are the most confusing part of YGO. But come on... You confuse the Bakuras, then you end up confusing the hell out of me!

We have three! They're distinct (see alt text lmao)!

Anyway, in closing, I was planning on translating the rest of the tarot pages for each Bunkobon, but if they're all going to be like... uh, this, I'm not enthusiastic about it.

Special thanks to Aariachang24. His translations of "The Magician" (Atem + BM + BMG) and "The High Priestess" (Ishizu) tarot cards inspired me.

#bakura ryou #yami bakura #thief king bakura #ryou bakura #yugioh #ygo #bakura #dark bakura #jp to eng #umbrella #I feel like I wasted my time #there was no ryou after all #back to rereading ygo in jp #hope yall enjoy whatever this turned out to be #I sure as hell dont know if I did or not #Im like 50/50

"It is fucked up that Bloodborne only has two and a half black people and Yamamura" is one of the most bewildering comments I've ever heard on Bloodborne tbh. Like, it had me genuinely stare into void for six minutes.

It is true that there aren't many people of color in Bloodborne, but Yharnam IS inspired by Victorian times Czechia, so it makes sense majority of characters are white? Still! We have Henryk and Suspicious Beggar, both with very brown skin and implied Loran descent (Loran having strong Egypt vibe too!). Yamamura is Japanese, for sure! We have a Yahar'gul Hunter found in the same underground prison as Yamamura that is a black man, and there are other Yahar'gul hunters who are black/brown that seem to be similar to Henryk's descent. Simon is lighter brown and shares face data with Djura's Apprentice! Djura's Ally is brown. Bestial Hunter has been transformed with.. well, beasthood, but from his face data we can get a hint he used to be a PoC too.

It is not that they're all suddenly "not important" except for three either! Not a fan of "this character doesn't count because no one cares about them uwu" mentality. From the looks of his fate, Yahar'gul Hunter from underground jail was a detractor from Yahar'gul like Antal, and might have helped Yamamura to run! You definitely remember the trio that ambushes you in Yahar'gul, each fighting in a unique way, where did the "they're polycule" takes go all of a sudden? Besides, over half of Yahar'gul hunters use Church weapons, they could have been the victims of starting repressions against foreigners, and unfortunately the ones visually foreign were the most vulnerable. Forced to work with the one guy that accepts EVERYONE as long as they're useful. (Also yes, a potential much more dark explanation for lacking PoC in Yharnam than it being inspired by Middle and Eastern Europe). Djura's friends are certainly important, they stayed by his side, and one of them even continues protecting the beasts after his death! Djura's Ally is even mentioned in Bloodborne's official guide as the one that aids Djura! Bestial Hunter is implied to have been the member (if not owner) of Oto Workshop that was BETA Powder Kegs! Soulsborne characters are often as interesting as the fans WANT them to be!

That's like 12 people of color, not 3! I think the thing we can agree on is absence of women of color. Yurie is a misinterpretation since Zullie datamined her (simply blonde with grey eyes) face data late and her name actually being Julie is not exactly a viral knowledge. With Eileen, she doesn't have face data and voice actors do not bind to any specific interpretation, but even if they did it would not explain why specifically English VA should be crowned as "canon" one. Why not French or German or Italian or Portuguese then? Why not Japanese original, after all? We weren't given female characters of color as far as canon goes, unfortunately, but personally I think Bloodborne is not THAT devoid. You just need to look beyond just the characters who have more evident dialogue and story, Soulsborne games like to tell their stories I silence!

#bloodborne #fandomry rambles #disco horse #sorry I just absolutely abhor 'but these characters don't count because no one cares about them'#I /do/ care!#the 'character's importance' tier thinking needs to die #this hellsite IS good for how we will cherish the most obscure blorbo!#though I regret this train of thought #now I got an idea about yharnamites shunning and bullying (if not killing) most PoC foreigners and thats why they're rare #as if this game wasn't dark enough #tags update: that person answered and they were really chill and friendly actually!#that's a relief #+1 good fandom experience

Squealed with excitement when I saw your post saying you were watching zom 100. Are you going to read the manga? Also please make a post sharing your opinions of it. I literally love reading your rants about manga and anime, positive and critical. I frequent the "sloot bitches about things" tag all the time lmao

Holy shit, I only thought ppl came for my smut, I'm glad you like reading me complain about shit and rant lol

The manga is on my list but my backlog of stuff I want to check out is stupidly long, so...I get to it when I get to it ig

Anyway my thoughts on the anime

In a world where zombie apocalypse fiction is largely bleak and depressing, it's so nice to see a series go "Fuck it, in the post apocalypse, do what makes you happy." It frames the zombie outbreak and breakdown of society in an optimistic way, and I think a lot of people need that. In a culture that's so collectivist and so stressed out, that cultural shift in modern Japan to prioritizing your own happiness and mental well-being really makes me happy.

The animation and especially the COLORSSSS are so nice. There are a few shots where corners had to be cut, but given how fucked the anime production was in terms of schedule I'm more than willing to put up with it. The zombies and the gore having these saturated paint colors instead of just being red is so nice, and it makes the Zom100 zombies stand out from other series.

I could talk forever about the colors in this series. I've never seen a zombie apocalypse that looked so bright and poppy and FUN. If you haven't seen anything from this show, just watch the opening and ending you won't regret it.

I also love shows that have an optimistic message in a bleak fucked up setting. Like if Berserk is grim optimism and struggling against brutality and hardship, Zom100 is bright optimism in a dead landscape. It's fluorescent paint sprayed and sloshed on grey corpses and cracked concrete, and I love looking at it. Like LOOK at this!

Beatrix is best girl, I accept no arguments to the contrary. She's a German weeb who wears samurai armor and wants to restore Japan's natural beauty, infodumps about hot springs history, and is just so fun. Everything in this series is just so fucking fun.

Kencho is hot as fuck and if you like himbos, watch this series for him. He wants to be a comedian. He's a superhunk with a heart of gold. He's working on a comedy bit where he butt-chugs udon noodles. I want him so bad I'm shaking.

Shizuka is a new inspiration for my One Piece OC Minerva, since their color designs are similar and both go from coldly logical to willing to follow their hearts and have fun. Though girl, wear some more protective clothing. You're in a sports bra and leggings and a hoodie, Beatrix at least sometimes wears the samurai armor and Akira had the diving suit for a while.

Obviously I fuck with Kanta on concept alone, and his VA (same as Bakugo and Ghiaccio) understands his assignment. A bitter NEET who wants to fuck things up only to realize he's collapsed under his own loneliness and just needed friendship, and realized too late that he essentially sabotaged his own happiness. Also hearing him cry pathetically in the last few episodes was low-key...activating my almonds a bit 😳

Given how problematic the production and release was, I'm gonna be disappointed but not surprised if there aren't further seasons. Still, they end it on a positive note that makes it a satisfying "ending" if it never gets animated beyond that. Besides, there's always the manga! I'm gonna link the op and Ed because I love them so much.

youtube

Also interesting fact, but this anime got recommended to me...by one of my sixth graders??? She's a huge otaku and I love that she's comfortable around me enough to nerd out (in rapid Japanese I don't always understand lol) bc normally she seems like a bit of a loner, but...madam you are 12. Kencho is showing hole on a regular basis, one of the villain dudes is an Ugly Bastard who has the goal of forcing his tongue down a girl's throat. Where are your parents 👀

kunikida and the azure king ; is he the king? *ೃ༄

This blog will contain spoilers to the specific light novel “Bungo Stray Dogs: Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam.” If you would not like spoilers, do not read more.

1. WHO IS THE AZURE KING?

The azure king is a terrorist, who is introduced in episode seven “Love for the Disease Called Ideals” and the light novel “Bungo Stray Dogs: Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam.” He is someone motivated by ideals and was described as “ambitious.” When cornered by the police, he sent off a bomb, killing himself.

2. HOW DOES HE CONNECT TO KUNIKIDA?

The azure king and Kunikida have numerous similarities which can be seen throughout the light novel and throughout episode seven. For starters, dare I say the most obvious one, their appearance. Kunikida and the azure king look alike. Whilst the azure kings face is primarily obscured with an azure-colored banner, blonde hair can be seen sticking out, as well as his eyes, but the color can be easily confused due to the screen-like texture. Their shape is also noteworthy as well as their expressions.

Another notable resemblance between the two is they share the same Japanese VA (voice actor) which is Yoshimasa Hosoya. The two of them are both idealists, along with educational background being mentioned (as to which I find quite odd, I’ll explain why.) Speaking about Bungou Stray Dogs, the characters are based on authors, and some have severe similarities to the book they were inspired of or- in general. Kunikida Doppo; the author, was born in 1871, his first wife was Nobuko Sasaki, the azure king’s wife in the anime. Nobuko Sasaki divorced him after about 5 months of being married while pregnant due to financial struggles.

3. WHO IS NOBUKO SASAKI IN THE ANIME?

Nobuko Sasaki was introduced in the light novel and episode six through seven and makes an appearance in a flashback in episode ten. Nobuko Sasaki had appeared to be a well-mannered polite and patient woman but had been the completely opposite. She is incredibly manipulative when together with the azure king and to other people generally. Behind the scenes, she actually helped the azure king with his bombs and many plans due to the fact she has no ideals so completely committed herself to his own, trying to find a reason, or will, to live. When he dies from the bomb she practically loses her will to live, and in return, directs her grief and unsettled anger towards the armed detective agency because they played part in his death. In the end, she doesn’t feel accomplished at all or satisfied with trying to damage the armed detective agency's reputation. She is the main focus along with Kunikida in the “Azure Apostle Arc.” Kunikida and Dazai go to an abandoned hospital where she is seemingly drowning, along with four other people in the building at the time due to a kidnapping, she was the only one saved. Later, she goes to the abandoned hospital after Dazai calls her over ; speculating she was the azure kings significant other. When she gets there she shoots Rokuzō Taguchi, someone who’s father died to the azure king in front of Kunikida and Dazai. She lowered her gun because she knew Dazai couldn’t shoot her but Dazai “drops” his gun and Rokuzō picks it up while he bleeds out and shoots Sasaki to revenge his father. She was later revealed as the “Azure Messenger” the one who sent real threats to Kunikida and Dazai, just as Dazai had suspected.

Kunikida then goes on to yell and argue with Dazai because he doesn’t agree with what comes down to; Dazai’s sense of humanity in a way, Kunikida doesn’t agree with dropping the gun as he deems it wasn’t necessary and a life or possibly both could have been saved. The point isnt their contrast on their perspectives of lives and ideals though, so i’ll leave it there.

4. KUNIKIDA AND THE AZURE KING’S IDEALS.

Kunikida and the azure king both have what they consider extremely important ideals. Both of their ideas, ultimately, wish to protect innocent people by whatever they can do. That’s what it comes down to. The execution of those ideals however is very conflicting to the other. Kunikida attempts to stop violence whilst the azure king creates violence and destruction because the people he was dealing with were criminals. The azure king essentially punished detectives and government members for failing to capture criminals which isn’t necessarily their fault or something they could control, at least I hope not.

5. KUNIKIDA AND THE AZURE KING’S VIEWS.

I believe not only with the contrast of their ideals their views on life and humanity are very conflicting as well. The azure king tries to make the world a “better place” by what he deems correct, which is, well, committing crimes against criminals. (Ironic, isn’t it.) In contrast, Kunikida strives to heal the world and make it a better place just like the rest of the armed detective agency, but through harmless change. The biggest difference here is the azure king strives to fix imperfection by covering it up with more imperfection whilst Kunikida holds himself as high as he needs perfection or close enough to fix imperfection. Both of their ideals are so strong it controls their life and how they act, if Kunikida were to “change his ideals” it would be extremely difficult.

For example, his hope for change in Dazai. That’s a bit less serious though, since he’s just a pain in his ass.

6. EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND ; WHY IT’S ODD.

The only thing we know about the azure kings backstory is he graduated at the top of his class from an elite educational institution. Similar to Kunikida, we barely know anything about him, except that he taught math in the past. Besides that, he doesn’t really talk about his past. I think it’s more than that, but this isn’t about his past. My point is, we don’t get much about people's educational knowledge on other characters, so it struck me as odd both of them had it mentioned, especially a terrorist. Who cares??

7. MY OPINION ; CONCLUSION.

In my opinion, the way Kunikida is in general is the opposite of him being the azure king, while they both are idealist’s, Kunikida is very against murder, as can be seen when he gets mad at Dazai when he lends his gun over.

Or when he hugs a child with bombs strapped to her even while they go off. Sacrificing his life for a child? And his strong ideals against murder? It’s just very contradicting. There’s also contradictions in the plot of bungou stray dogs itself if this were to be the case, why is Kunikida always in the ADA? If he were the azure king he would need to be other places, and how would he have survived the explosion? The azure king, what the characters come down to, is a contrast to Kunikida’s character, a path that he could’ve went past; a challenge he faces, and I think we do know more about Kunikida and what he struggled with than just the eye surface, which is this. I also believe that the azure king is a mix between Kunikida and Dazai which is absolutely perfect because it’s about the beauty of the new partner Dazai has earned, whilst shining light on Kunikida’s character. The azure king did reckless things, he was suicidal, as Sasaki had said, “Every time he got up, he was knocked back down… he simply had enough. He lost his away, unable to realize his ideals, so he tried to… kill himself.” while also living for his ideals, like Kunikida.

Thank you for reading this really long blog, if you want to discuss this more feel free to! You may also leave some other theory's in my questions box and I’ll try my best to respond. <3

info dump for charlie!

STAND USER: Charlotte 'CHARLIE' Hunt. STAND: Iron Lady, STAND POWER: Hemokinesis // Blood Manipulation, HOWEVER if IRON LADYconsumes a large quanitity of blood ( aka multiple foes ) in battle, she'll enter a phase known as BLOODLUST, becoming an uncontrollable beast that can't distinguish foe or enemy, this also affects the USER into a delirium state as they share the same mind.

IRON LADY is a lioness-headed Stand with a humanoid body, a stand that's give and take as she must feed IRON LADY her blood if she were to use her ability, she can manipulate the iron within her blood to form weapons of however she sees fit from making a tiny needle to a harpoon, however LADY can only manipulate her master's unless she's tastes the enemy's blood, she's a close ranged stand with high strength and endurance however lacks speed.

DOT: August 22nd 1967, GENDER: Female, AGE: 20, HEIGHT; 5'10, EYES: Green, HAIR: Brown, BLOOD TYPE: B, PARENTS: John Hunt & Joan Waren, PLACE OF ORIGIN: Chicago, USA, TIMELINE: Stardust Crusaders-Stone Ocean Japanese VA: Sachi Kokuryu // Romi Park

CHARLIE awoke to her stand at eighteen, the same day her parents were murdered by her uncle who had sold his soul to DIO, and craved for the promised immortal life he would get for proving his loyalty, she had walked in after the deed was done, her uncle had gone to kill her as an extra contribute only for something inside of her to snap in that moment, she was frozen in place, she felt the heat pour into the ground leaving her body cold, still.. like a husk; she couldn't even blink, time seemed to slow down and then... like a bolt of lightening, she was alive. IRON LADY protected her master, redirecting the knife back proving their strength by snapping his arm completely backwards, driving the blade into his neck, supposedly killing him by bleeding out, however he didn't die that night for his body disappeared when authorities arrived.

leaving CHARLIE with a stand and the name DIO, for the next two years she trained with her stand, getting inmvolved with underground fighting, using her stand to train as well as cheat to get the money together to investigate DIO herself, that was until news of this impossible-to-beat 'guy's with a sixty-seven winstreak with insane strength gets noticed by a SPEEDWAGON FOUNDATION AGENT, tasked in looking out for STAND USERS, for a possible ally, or an enemy. CHARLIE at first brushes AVDOL and JOSEPH off believing them to be undercover cops until AVDOL makes a propostion, since fighting was her shtick, why don't they have a one-on-one; if she wins, they leave... and if he wins, she'll answer their questions.

the next thing she knew, she was enjoying her last smoke in her homeland for a while, she was going to EGYPT.

CHARACTISTICS

charlie is androgynous, so much so that she looks more like a young man than a woman, a trait she got bullied for once puberty screwed her over that the teens would nickname charlie to humilate her, which lead to her becoming a very angry and outcasted teenager, ending up embracing the name and the rage that came with it.

having awoken to a stand with no guidance, she wasn't aware to extent of her stand's ability and learned what it was during her duel with AVDOL.

she took on the charlie identity even more after her parents died to use her androgny to get into underground fighting which was very male dominated to get in and rise the ranks to get money.

charlie has scarred hands, skinned and calloused by the knuckles from fighting as well as thirty-seven dystinct scars all over both hands, thirty seven being the amount of stab wounds combined to murder her parents, as a means to fight him with his own sins staring him in the face. Each scar marked is a victory she had while in the underground meaning she was undefeated with a sixty-seven win streak, all possible thanks to her stand.

she has musophobia. (fear of mice)

when angered charlie will often exclaim 'GRWL' especially after she's been taunted.

her favourite flower are lotuses.

she has golden studs in her ears.

charlie's favourite alcohol is beer, which is a nod to the red-dyed beer in SEKHMET'S story, what IRON LADY is based on.

her favourite fruit is watermelon.

her favourite colour is gold.

NICKNAMES: charlie-boy, lottie ( by her uncle only )

she smokes.

she's American-German descent.

known quotes being 'guys like you piss me off', 'GRWL! i'll have you in my teeth!' 'didn't mama tell you, you look with your eyes and not your hands?'

charlie would often remark her grandfather would say she was an 'OX' in a past life in regards to her rather lean body as she began to develop quite masculine way back in her teens, which is an easter egg and hint that her grandfather was in fact one of the soldiers TEQUILA JOSEPH knocked out.

she had a chain around her neck holding her parents wedding rings, two golden wedding bands which unfortunately get lost in the ocean in favour of saving ANNE.

charlie has a massive preference for meat in meals, particulary beef which can be because of the iron intake in order to maintain her stand power, having a weakness for japanese BBQ beef, 'Yakiniku'.

#( charlie tbtl;; )#( lil bit of info! )#( would of made a page but its bein well glitchy rn )#( i'm sorry if this sounds stupid i hope its good! )

ok, so in a post you jokingly mentioned your art is ugly, but I am here to say: NO!!!! IT IS NOT!!!!!!

You’re literally my favorite artist. the way you depict Bruno (and everyone else from JJBA too) is so perfect—I’m DROOLING over ur sexy art of him. You’re able to capture his beauty so well. I absolutely adore your art style. AND you’re a Rohan fan!! I saw that you got V3 and I also wanted to say that specific version of him is my favorite figure from the SAS line. And your art of him too!! UGH!!!!

Also, I love that the two characters you’re obsessed with are voiced by the same actors. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST YUICHI NAKAMURA WHO SHARED KARAMATSU AND BRUNO BUT HOLY SHIT, RAY CHASE TOO??? I’ve never watched Mr. Osomatsu, but I think I’ll have to check it out now.

(I Had to make this shitpost when I found out they shared both VAs)

(apparently Yuichi Nakamura and Ray Chase also share Professor Cerise from Pokémon??? Oh well, I only included Bruno and Karamatsu because it seemed more relevant to your blog.)

Anyways, thought I’d finally reach out. I eagerly await your next masterpieces. Keep up the awesome work ! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🤐

OMGOMGOMG AAAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH, I FEEL SO FLATTERED THANK YOUUUUUU 😭💖💖💖

I’m trying my best to bring out the sex appeal of our favorite capo because damnit it’s so unfair how beautiful he is it’s almost criminal 🙈💦

I have to do my capo justice 😩

And yes the V3 version of the Rohan figure is so well made I absolutely love the coloring and the accessories he came with (i couldn’t believe they included the part where Rohan cut off his pinky I was laughing so hard) the attention to detail is great with this one 💕

From all the SAS I own he’s definitely my 1# favorite (I’m sorry Bruno)

If I’m really honest here the only part that motivated me to start watching part 5 is because they share the same voice and god damnit I’m really grateful for it because it became one of my favorite parts and gave me a new addition to my fictional husbands list pffff

If you ever wanna try Osomatsu-San i recommend having your brain somewhat on standby mode and let it happen because sometimes it gets crazy with its comedy (in a good way) but it does have its serious emotional moments too so if this sounds interesting to you go check it out, you won’t regret it :3

Also recommend watching it in Japanese because the characters feel like they are written for their VA and you can hear they all are having so much fun. And since you are a Rohan fan…he plays one of the main characters there too😏 And Jotaro is there too and it’s so cursed because he plays a character that’s so opposite to him and I love it hdjcksocbxi

Thank you so much for coming by it made me really happy.

Keep it up being absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was feeling things…

I was on my way to university and I was suddenly hit with the fact how times had changed. Kind of like the realization: “Wow, you've grown up! “. It's such a weird feeling honestly, but at the same time I think it's part of what we call life.

(Feel free to skip, because it's really not like the usual content)

This is a little writing on the spot about how I currently feel, so it may be cluttered. Don't worry, it's still kinda about music/multimedia projects I love so much, but I hope some may share the same sentiments and feelings as I do.

As always, I would love to hear your thoughts as long as it's respectful!

A STEP INTO AN UNFAMILIAR WORLD

I was never really into Japanese media like I am right now. To be honest, my world was pretty empty when it came to music. I don't even remember the artists I followed before I fell into this world, but it was probably not a lot. Music was simply not something that played a big part in my life.

I think that I wanted to try something new roughly 10 years ago, so I sort of forced myself to listen to vocaloid. It was something unfamiliar and I thought it was weird. They didn't sound human at all! Soon, I grew to love the fact how the vocaloid producers could make songs exactly the way they did. What would be something impossible for humans, was possible with vocaloid.

After that, I kind of branched out to the utaite world, but I think it was when I heard MafuMafu's ベルセルク (Berserk) that locked my place in this industry. I felt understood and that was the moment that I thought (maybe a bit cliché even), “So music really can save lives.” I didn't even understand the lyrics, but the raw emotion in the song really hit me like a truck. I was not alone in this world, because there were many others who resonated with the song. It was as if a warm blanket had been put on your shoulders on a cold night.

THE SPARKLING WORLD OF MUSIC PROJECTS

After that, I started to follow these Japanese artists and one day I somehow ended up on a video of Love Live! (just to be sure, social media wasn't really big back in the day, so you really had to do it with what you had at that time which was YouTube for me). I was surprised because they were anime girls, but the voice actresses behind the characters were also performing live? I had never seen something like that before.

I think I got into LL with the last few months of μ's. I didn't follow them that much, but I knew I kind of loved the feeling of supporting something that was so close to the things I love (anime and music in this case). So when Aqours was announced, I decided to follow them closely and that's how I became an Aqours defender. It was a fun time, but it was also still fresh after the disbandment of μ's, so people were throwing kind of emotional comments all the time. I think this made me appreciate them more, because they kept working hard and they kept giving to the fans. They looked absolutely lovely in my eyes, not only the characters, but also the VA's.

Anyway, I also stumbled on the MV of Roselia's BLACK SHOUT and I thought they were cool, but I never really fell into the hole of BanG Dream! as project, but I guess I did follow Roselia's music casually. Not after I lost the YT account because I didn't have a Google account, so I only remembered after I found the video again.

LET'S TRY SOMETHING OF A DIFFERENT FLAVOUR

After that, I played SIF and Garupa a lot, but I wanted to try something different. This is something unimaginable if you know me, but I absolutely refused to check out music projects featuring male characters. I thought it was stupid and why would I because I couldn't relate to them anyway, but oh boy, this aged so poorly...

Back then, I was on an app called Amino. It's a dumpster fire app nowadays, but I'll never forget the people I met online on there (but that's a story for another time). When you entered the app, you would get advertisement sometimes. I deadass got advertisement for the game of IDOLiSH7. This was very very very stupid. I would get i7 ads on YT as well and I was so confused. Anyway, I decided to give it a try but I was on my iPad and I was stupid, so I was locked out because of region lock. I raged, LMAO.

I still decided to give it a try since I saw that they had an anime season with these characters. This was mistake 1, because not only did I not know what I started, not only did I watch the cringe dance, but I fricking loved it. TRIGGER was introduced and wow, I listen to their songs and their songs are good too. What's happening? I didn't know either. In reality, I absolutely fell into their marketing trap and my life had never been the same.

Some other projects worth mentioning that I started to check out after realising that male music projects were good were Band Yarouze! and Kare wa Vocalist.

IT'S TOO LATE TO TURN BACK

I met people online who were into other projects and I met my bestie who introduced me to Hypnosis Mic back in 2018. I met more people, I started to follow more music projects in general. I actually didn't even like hiphop/rap music until I stumbled upon Paradox Live. These projects are really opening my eyes now, huh…

Anyway, a project that really changed my life forever was Argopro. I followed them in their beginning stages kinda (2018) and they still don't disappoint at all. They were building on a shakey base, but look how steady it goes (pun intended?) right now! I was even reminiscing about the times when the pandemic was going on and how strongly they were going even then. They were absolutely dominating the field. Here is the link of that small thread of mine.

Suddenly, there was a rise of several music projects too. I guess it was the perfect time for people to check out these projects, especially when they were not allowed to go outside.

HAPPY, BUT WITH A LINGERING SADNESS

I graduated from high school, but my high school times were absolutely wild. I tiered in games. Not in the biggest games ever, but I had a great time tiering in AAside and Hanipre (though both games are no more; do check out Kimisute 🫵). I went to school, did my homework and played games. That was basically it.

When I officially graduated, I started to understand the SOARA songs more and I felt a certain sadness within me. It was time for goodbye. It was an end of a chapter of my life. My friends and I were going to different universities and we were friends, but there were no aligning interests actually, so the interaction died out pretty quickly.

I started to attend uni and I was much busier than I was in high school. The 30 minutes cycling to school became a 2 hours ride on the train and I had to plan. There was no time anymore… there was no time to indulge myself into these projects that much anymore… It was an end of a chapter.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE NOW.

Even though I'm mostly a closet fan and I'm afraid to actually take the first step for many interactions, I am no longer alone in this world. I bought CDs and albums, I bought online live tickets, I pulled other people into projects. I am happy.

This has been a mess, but I just wanted this to be off my chest while I'm on my way to uni.

I do feel bad when I'm missing out and when I'm no longer up to date with the story of the projects, but simply listening to their songs is more than enough. There is not something like a good reason to be a fan. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it, right?

Of course there are party poopers who are like the fandom police who tell you to do certain things and they make obnoxious comments like "how did you not know this?". They honestly make me sad, especially as a Genshin Impact fan, you know how bad it is over there. Do I really have to care about their words though? No, past me did not put a lot of effort to find happiness for the current me to throw away that easily.

Things have changed, of course they do. It's impossible to stay the same and I think it's valid to be sad about things you can't do right now. You are allowed to grief. It is okay and it will be okay. I always tell myself that. Even if the road seems long, it's still not a dead end. You got this, just like all the other times you did.

I don't know if people struggle like me, but…

You're not alone,

You will never be truly alone.

Lots of love,

Lae

Have you played Rain Code in Japanese?

I haven't, but I'd like to! Maybe when I inevitably do a third replay of Rain Code, I'll listen to the Japanese voice acting to switch things up a bit. All I really know is that Yakou shares the same Japanese VA as Dio from Jojo (I've only watched part 3 and some of part 4 of the series a long while ago), which is certifiably rad. I also really liked Shinigami's Japanese VA when I listened to her voice clips during pre-release, when jumping back n forth between English and Japanese news about the game was a necessity to get every little bit of information possible. I think both English and Japanese VAs for Shinigami did excellently, but I actually personally prefer the Japanese VA's tone a bit more. For the rest of the Japanese VAs from what I've heard in clips, I like them all equally to their English counterparts. Everyone does an absolutely amazing job, so I'd like to hear the whole game in both languages someday.

Official Submas Appearances Masterlist

Want to consume offical submas content but don’t know where to go? Look no further than this post! I’m not perfect so I might miss some things but I hope this at least covers most of it (These are just directly copy-pasted from previous posts I’ve made in the past, but hey! I’d rather copy-paste than do hard work I’ve already done haha)

Links will be under the cut- and this post will probably be updated as Pokemon inevitably cashes in on their popularity and gives us more submas content <33

Pokemon Black and White / Pokemon Black and White 2

These were as simple as taking the first thing that popped up on a YouTube search, but since this is their original appearances I’m put it here. They come from Mixeli, who posts videos of Pokemon Battles on their channel.

Pokemon Black and White

Pokemon Black and White 2

Bulbapedia is fan-curated, but their commitment to sourcing information and sticking to canon makes them good enough to add here as well:

Emmet / Emmet (Quotes)

Ingo / Ingo (Quotes)

Pokemon Special

These links come from readmanganato (NOTE: The ads here are NSFW, please use an ad blocker!), though you can alternatively use mangaowl.net, which should have better ads.

Chapter 487 (The Submas Introduction Chapter)

Chapter 488 (The Submas welcome White onto the Battle Subway)

Chapter 490 (The Submas watch White test out the Battle Subway)

Chapter 500 (White battles Ingo)

(NOTE: These are FAN translated works, you will have to buy the manga to get official translations)

Pokemon Anime

Pokeflix features a library boasting pretty much every Pokemon Media there is, but for ease of access I’ve linked all the submas episodes here:

Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief! (End of Episode Cameo)

The Beartic Mountain Feud! (End of Episode Cameo)

Crisis from the Underground Up! (The historic episode :D )

Battle for the Underground! (The historic episode, part two eeeelectric boogaloo)

Lost at the Stamp Rally! (Minor supporting role, but they battle here :>)

A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team! (That adorable lil flailing cameo)

Pokemon Masters EX

For those unfortunate enough to have not been around when the twins were first released and/or haven’t scouted them in gacha, YouTube is your best friend in getting that sweet, sweet pokemas content.

Hey y'know how you could describe Hector as being a simpler Guts?

And how you like to imagine Dracula being abusive to him like a fucked up father?

Well do you know who voiced Dracula in the japanese dub of SOTN?

Norio Wakamoto

Do you also know who voiced Gambino in the 97 anime?

That's right :)

Well that's only mildly creepy :D as if dracula could sell his favorite general like that. lol. lmao. he'd keep him for hims--

Too bad Hector doesn't share any VA with Guts. But N!Hector has the same VA as Griffith in the Japanese dubs of the movies. Which is. Well. Something to think about.

Peeks...hi hello, so we can ramble about our crossfandom agendas here? 👁️

If you don't mind me— i have MULTIPLE of them, and would love to share about the multiple brainrots i have about them. heck i even made a whole very self-indulgent casual modern college au for them because i terribly need to shove all these characters in a single room and see what happens

I'll try to keep my first ask short tho, so I'll just drop my agendas and then maybe elaborate on them more in future asks? if that doesn't bother any of you-

(just a heads up, I'll be talking about characters from enstars, genshin and danganronpa!)

So first of all, my main and favorite duo (the one which started the whole college au mess)— my two favorite characters from two games i like, leo tsukinaga and lyney! :]

I have TOO MANY thoughts about them for it to fit here...so i might ramble about them another time. But please think about them for me 👉👈

Next one i am very insane about is the fontaine twins and 2wink because??? I am not the only one to see the multiple parallels between them right??? Especially lyney and hinata??? Both pairs of twins have such a similar past too— grew up on the streets by themselves (fontaine twins because parents died, 2wink because they ran away) and had to perform to earn money to survive

Then there's once again lyney, but with kokichi (danganronpa) this time— it's less i want them to interact, and more like holy fuck why the fuck are they WAY TOO SIMILAR??? they even have the same japanese va....

It all started september 1st 2023, when i was rambling about lyney to my friend who knows nothing about genshin (but was into dr with me), and she pointed their similarity out

And ever since then, i have not been over it at all

(scrolls back up, see: "I'll try to keep my first ask short tho", dies a little inside BECAUSE ITS ALREADY GETTING SO LONG I AM SO SORRY...i am normal i swear (i am not))

OK BEFORE I FINISH I JUST HAVE TWO MORE— do you know the fanganronpa dra? Because I've had a leo and yamato friendship agenda for so long now. I just think they would be the best of friends, because they have a lot of similarities imo? They're also both my faves from their respective medias so,

BUT RECENTLY I'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING OF YAMATO AND FREMINET INTERACTING...because they're both somewhat into machines right? So I'm just thinking...yamato acting like some sort of older brother/senior/mentor figure to freminet? I don't know??? I think it has the potential to be cute and wholesome

OK I THINK THAT'S IT I AM SO SORRY FOR JUST. popping out of nowhere...but finding a blog about crossfandoms just! Made me excited because i am very passionate about my brainrots about it...hope you guys don't mind! Have a nice day :]

OMG OMGGG OMGOGGNAJDHDJKAS YEAH NO ITS COMPLETELY FINE TO GIVE A LONG RAMBLE!! HONESTLY THIS MADE US SO HAPPY!! DEFO FEEL FREE TO ELABORATE IM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THE COLLEGE AU HELLO???

putting under a cut bc this can get long, but also MINOR warning for genshin main story spoilers + enstars spoilers regarding 2wink specifcially, again its minor but still!

'' my two favorite characters from two games i like, leo tsukinaga and lyney! :] ''

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE TWO AS WELL!!

THEY WOULD BE SO FUNNY AS A DUO, im pretty sure leo would love lyney's shows and even made a song based on them a few times, they would be very inspiring!!

as friends i think lyney is the oddly 'sane' one of the two, usually, in a casual normal day lyney has to put idealistic leo in place, honestly

BUT i also feel like in a way leo can ground lyney, bc that guy is someone who lies a lot, its all for a purpose, even someone's good, sure, he even puts on a happy facade bc thats what everyone likes

but all that has GOT to be exhausting and he's surely been in a place where he's just lying to himself even, saying whatever nonsense with a fake smile. leo might be childish but idk i feel like he tell when someone is at their limit like that, ground him back to the truth but not harshly

ykno?/w??/ ajdhasjkdsah am i making sense?? i sure hope so but i will defo be keeping them in my thoughts thank you

'' Next one i am very insane about is the fontaine twins and 2wink because??? --- Especially lyney and hinata??? ''

YEAH I SEE WHERE YOURE GOING WITH HINATA AND LYNEY HONESTLY

LIKE... IVE BEEN TRYING TO READ UP ON 2WINK LORE, I NEED TO READ THAT ONE ! ERA STORY BUT I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED?? DUDE??? HINATA WAS NOT DOING WELL AND I CAN ONLY HOPE HE'S CURRENTLY FINE

THEY BOTH FEEL SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY AND GUILT FOR THEIR YOUNGER TWIN :((( HINATA WAS LIKE ALSO ANOTHER PERSON WHO PUT ON A HAPPY HAPPY FACADE, AND WOULD CHANGE WILLINGLY CHANGE HIMSELF AND SACRIFICE JUST FOR YUTA??!?? :((( THEN WITH LYNEY ALWAYS TRYING TO TAKE THE GUILT FOR ANYTHING BAD HAPPENING, TRYING TO HANDLE EVERYTHING HIMSELF FOR HIS TWIN + FREMMY NOW :((

TWINS MAKE ME SAD BRO, THESE FICTIONAL TWINS WANT ME DEAD

trust me lyney and hinata both gush about their younger siblings together, then lynette and yuta at the same time elsewhere are complaining about the trouble their elder got them into over tea hasjdhajksfha

'' Then there's once again lyney, but with kokichi (danganronpa) this time— ''

ahh yeah yeah! i remember seeing like, fanart of lyney and kokichi back when the fontaine vas where announced, but man thats a while ago now... BUT YEAH THEY ARE SIMILAR, LIARS, LIARS, PANTS ON FIRE

irl i hate liars sm but in fiction they scratch my brain so much, theyre so... interesting... give me more...

actually on the topic of same vas, wasnt there someone in genshin who had kiibo's va? i cant recall who tho, maybe it was just a random shitpost...

'' you know the fanganronpa dra? Because I've had a leo and yamato friendship ''

'' BUT RECENTLY I'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING OF YAMATO AND FREMINET INTERACTING... ''

hmmm im only familiar with official danganronpas unfortunately, so im afraid i can't comment much, but still by all means encourage you to tell me more about them!! since i know nothing about yamato, please tell me more about how you think these characters interacting would go? :o

please please please give fremmy more people to look up to and to encourage him, he deserves all of it and all the love and care!! imagining him building robots with someone else makes me ahsdkjashdkjahskdjahsjkhasjk EXPLODES /pos
