do you think c!tommy and c!dream would have eyes that glow in the dark. like cats.

Literally a genuine question no ill intent

What do you like about Aira? As much as people are absolutely adamant Akira is projecting (I really don't think he is (I'm not saying Akira is innocent) I just think he's trying to address the prejudiced thoughts the average Japanese person will have on the Ainu) Aira's weird comments and behaviour to Hiiro have been there since day one. And I also think Aira being the one who says all this is because he's supposed to reflect the fans and the average Japanese fan probably isn't that educated on the Ainu + there can be a good few racist enstars fans...

I'm not trying to sound heated about this I'm just coming from a genuine place, what appeal is there in Aira?

Also, as much as the Aira fans are talking about blaming Akira, I feel like there should absolutely be a focus on Hiiro right now considering that comment was... yknow said to him. I just think we should actually be talking about the Amagis considering that comment was intended to discuss the Amagis and their culture and the discrimination they go through.

i had someone ask me a similar question once but not in the context of all thats happening currently so you can read that here if youre inclined

buuuut what made me like aira so much in the first place was honestly that his concept as a character is really funny. i made a post a long while back that went into the funny meta jokes that you could make using aira as a character before i really knew much about enstars at all. having a character in your idol series that loves idols and canonically reads fanfic about them is just a funny concept in general. and as i continued to read more he continued to be funny and annoying and endearing (his little mini interaction with midori comes to mind immediately. there is something wrong with him)

also i tend to gravitate towards characters that give me like. little sibling energy. i love having a favorite little guy to dote on

but afterwards what really drew me to him was the main story!! thermometry specifically comes to mind (ouuugh,,,,). his feature scout stories are also great and so is feather touch! i wont like. go into detail really cause my blog is covered in me talking about aira already

his dynamic with hiiro is one of my favorites too, especially in mainstory. their dynamic isnt JUST aira says shitty things to hiiro and thats it. their relationship develops really far to the point where aira admits that he needs hiiro as much as hiiro needs him. they're young and inexperienced and kind of codependent as they're trying to keep themselves from going under in a sort of cutthroat industry. i think thats really neat. their relationship is really sweet to me and aira is a great tsundere type of character. he regularly is shown to actually like hiiro a lot as mean as he can be to him sometimes i.e. here. and you know the whole holding hands thing (which they also fucked up in the climax story but Whatever)

theres also this. which i think about regularly. the hiiai shipping fuel is vast

and additionally i think aira has some really great relationships with other characters too, alkaloid especially. feather touch develops his relationship with tatsumi a lot and its one of my favorite aira moments. i couldnt find my screenshots for this one but basically aira gives tatsumi his unlocked phone (something VERY important to aira since hes a little screenager) and it shows tatsumi just how much aira trusts him and he realizes how important aira is as a friend to him. being someone with a history like him aira's friendship is sort of new to him and it helps them both grow

he loves his friends so so much and he’s had a positive impact on all of alkaloid. he is its heart after all

but in any case i'm not going to like, defend myself for liking aira. i am aware that the shitty stuff has been there from the start but i've said something similar in the past that was like. aira isn't real and he cannot take accountability for what he says. he's a character written by real people who doesn't have any control over how he acts. so i guess that's why when i think the writers write something i dont think he would do or say in my own personal aira opinion i can sort of brush it off as just bad writing.

and not in the sense that i dont recognize that enstars sucks, because it does. enstars can be terribly racist sometimes and not just when concerning aira, and thats important to talk about (i.e. the orient cards, the king of thieves cards, etc). but at the end of the day the most important thing to recognize is the people and company behind the game as well as the real people who play the game and are affected by it. and not like, the specific characters in the game. cause they didn't actually do anything or feel anything you know

zombie

I have a random theory. With these pieces of evidence:

1) Weva Vudol, a Grave Domain cleric of the Raven Queen, being cordial to Laudna (a kind reminder: the Raven Queen's followers and the Grave Domain clerics absolutely despise undead entities - not even Caduceus Clay could hide his disdain when he found out that Jamedi Cosko was a Hollow One!). Weva noticed that Laudna was recently resurrected, so either she is the most understanding follower of the Matron ever, or she didn't identify Laudna as undead, 2) The zombie-like appearance, the slow heartbeat, the coldness and the low sensitivity to pain are quirks caused by her being a Shadow Magic sorceress; the Hollow Ones retain the appearance and the abilities of their own living selves, and their only additional combat abilities are Unsettling Presence (instant fear effect on a living enemy) and Cling to Life (critical success on a death saving throw by rolling 16 or higher), 3) Matt described the instances of Laudna's Cling to Life activating as being directly caused by Delilah,

Therefore I would not be surprised if it turns out that casting away Delilah and resurrecting Laudna soon after caused her to lose her "Hollow One" status. As I said, her build would be virtually identical to how it was before, Laudna would lose only two abilities (with one of them being very similar to one of the effects of Form of Dread, with the only difference being the result is decided by a roll and not automatic), she would be able to age again (and thinking about it, the only person who had any benefit from Laudna being ageless was Delilah as it was a guarantee her vessel would have been still around no matter how long it would have taken for her to use her body to come back to life), and she would not be recognized as undead by magic anymore (unless her subclasses are still identified as "undead", but it doesn't seem to be the case). The difference would be so subtle it could go unnoticed by Bell's Hells for a very long time. Or maybe it is me who wants to read too much into Weva Vudol's friendly "welcome back" to Laudna, but let's face it, it would be appropriate for a cleric of the Raven Queen to rejoice because a former undead person has been healed from their condition, either by being properly brought back to life or by being definitely put to rest.

Bard of Doom, Mage of Heart, Knight of Void

also his drawings. make me insane. im pretty sure ive made a post about this before a while ago but i just love looking at his silly little drawings it adds so much to his character. even after everything he's been through he's still got some humor and lightheartedness in him. and he's really good at drawing too!! so it's likely something he's been doing since he was a kid

What if I made a durge that thought they were so drawn to murder because they were a Myrkulyte before they lost their memory, and their urges are Myrkul himself testing to see how devoted to death they are. The euphoria they feel from killing as a bhaalspawn is confused as and overshadowed by the euphoria of believing they're earning the approval of Myrkul.

So when Fel comes along and tells them that they've been unknowingly but still surprisingly accurately enacting Bhaal's will instead, they're PISSED.

At BHAAL, for getting in the way of their worship to Myrkul. No wonder Myrkul hasn't made them one of his Chosen already, this stupid asshole must be interfearing. Maybe, if they just worshipped better, were more devoted to him, then Myrkul will see that this is what they were born to be.

growing up I always liked playing as sub-zero in mortal kombat because yeah his ice powers were cool but also duh blue is my favorite color. Last game I played was deception in the GameCube era but honestly never really followed the series’ lore at all. I’m watching nemesis network play through the story mode in mortal kombat 1 (which has been super fun and interesting thus far!) and turns out sub-zero is a power-hungry traitorous asshole so that’s been fun to take in lol. I hope scorpion and smoke put his ass in place!!

[hears a couple good set it off songs] ok that makes 6 that i like now. im obligated to actually go into their discography now and get into a Phase(tm) if i like more of them

//A Happy birthday to Riversal, who, in true middle child fashion had his birthday forgotten last year so hopefully by shouting him out here I can get rid of the guilt that's been burdening me ever since ;w; Again, happy birthday to our little boy!! Asks ofc are open (Of all the siblings, I'm sure he'd appreciate them the most lmao) though I'm currently trying to focus on some older asks as well (When i'm not caught up in college and bighttown), so if it takes a second just know I'll get to you eventually!! Thank you~ :3

SkullMammothmon ST16-13 by Spareribs from ST-16 Starter Deck Wolf of Friendship

This card shows SkullMammothmon performing its Sprial Bone attack!

it's funny that you hate vax when he has so much in common with our dark lord and savior wwx, at least on a surface level... or maybe just funny that one of them does the "bound for death through self sacrifice" thing so much better than the other. this isn't meant to be mean i genuinely find the difference in reaction interesting

lmaoo all i can think about now is the meme that's like..

can we get wei wuxian

we already have wei wuxian at home

wei wuxian at home:

@reborns: okay, but this was so poignant and beautifully written. i love this.

     In undeath, Zoen has found his family. While tragically that includes Arthas, it also includes the Ebon Blade and ( to a lesser degree ) the Scourge. For all the blood and horror between him and his father, he’s also found comfort and belonging with the rest of the damned. They’re his kin, and he’ll love them for the rest of eternity.

my toxic trait is sometimes someone will rec something to me and i grab it and run with it and i end up liking it more/being more obsessed than them with it and i get very annoying with it. unfortunately this has happened at least 6 times likely more
