#va4 rambles in the tags

Ok but can we talk about how out of all the major male characters that Ryunosuke interacts with throughout the story, van Zieks is the ONLY one that isn't hiding something from/lying to him at one point or another?? Sholmes lies about Kazuma being alive, Kazuma hides the fact that he's going to Britain as a hired assassin, Yujin hides details about the Professor killings from him in 2-2, Stronghart lies about... Well, everything really. Like there's so much I could say about him lol. Gregson hides the fact that he helped frame Genshin for the Professor killings, McGilded lies about having been the culprit in the omnibus case, Jigoku lies about having been the one to kill Gregson... Etc etc. I personally can't remember a single point where van Zieks was hiding things from Ryuu or just straight up lying about important things to his face. He's an ass to him at first, sure, but he's ultimately on the side of justice and finding out the truth, even if it means hurting his cases or having his worldview challenged (except maybe in the case of Klint, which I'll get into).
Now one might say, "Oh but didn't he hide the fact that he had a brother from Ryunosuke at first?". And to that I say... So what? From van Zieks' point of view, details about his personal life (and ESPECIALLY about Klint) are hard to talk about and, frankly, Ryuu really had no reason to need that info about him, other than just to be nosy. That's why he's so cagey about the topic in 2-3, and why he's (somewhat) more willing to talk about it with him in 2-4/5, because at that point Ryunosuke absolutely DOES need to know more about Klint (and the Professor killings in general). And as for Ryuu's point of view, he really has no reason to be asking about van Zieks' personal life at first, other than the fact that he's just curious about it.
Anyways. I really do believe that, despite how rocky these two's dynamic is at first, it's been built on honesty and straightforward-ness from the start, and I really appreciate how we have an Ace Attorney prosecutor who's more than willing to not hide the truth from his lawyer rival (even if he's making dunks on Ryunosuke half the time, lol)
#GOD im so glad i finally wrote. something. about these two's dynamic#like their dynamic is so underrated and it sucks because it's so good like!!#as early as 1-3 these two are working towards finding the truth no matter what it may be. even if it means they might lose#ryuu in 1-3 openly admits that the omnibus was tampered with even though that may implicate his client#van zieks in as early as 1-4 not only gives evidence to the defense that he 100% didn't have to give#(and that would potentially cause him to lose the trial)#but he also calls out the actual culprit and makes it very clear that he won't tolerate her hiding things from the court#he does this in 1-5 as well with graydon.. and in 2-2 with ms green#i'm currently doing my second dgs playthrough and i'm at 2-3 so my memory there is a lil hazy lol#but i do remember that in 2-3 he had an absolutely insane premise for his case and probably sounded like an IDIOT to everyone there#and it 100% feels like it was a way to subtly tell ryuu 'hey mr naruhodo you're smart you should have 0 issue ripping my case apart'#(to be fair 2-3 saw his one friend as the defendant so that's probably why he went through all the effort. but still)#anyways im obsessed with their dynamic and y'all SLEEP on it goodbye#va4 rambles in the tags#vu's posts#tgaa#tgaa 2 spoilers#barok van zieks#ryunosuke naruhodo#also to y'all who ship them you can absolutely ship tag this lol. like im not a fan of the pairing i just like their dynamic platonically#but tbh if you wanna use this as ship fuel then honestly just go for it lmao#o shit i almost forgor... their dynamic tag omg#reaper/resolve

So everyone always talks about their favorite clothing items in DE, but what are your least favorites?
#vu's posts#disco elysium#probably a weird and oddly specific question but who cares. this IS my blog after all#honestly i'm largely just posting this to talk about how much i fucking hate the dick mullen hat#i don't know why but it causes such a visceral rage in me. i cannot stand that fucking hat#it makes harry look SO pompous and full of himself. it makes his face look very punchable. to me#but that is *exactly* why i refuse to take it off in my second playthrough#he NEEDS to look punchable he NEEDS to have a hat on that sends me into a flying rage every time i see it#moralist pants are also on my shit list but they don't make me as mad as the stupid goddamn hat#i hate that hat#va4 rambles in the tags

My tagging system
So, as I'm writing this I'm in the process of doing an overhaul of my tags on all of my posts on here. Yes, all of them. This post is mostly for me to remember what all tags I use (because GOD i've used several tags on here in the past and forgotten about them). However, if you'd like to use this to help navigate my blog, then be my guest!
Characters
So the way that I'll tag characters is pretty straightforward. I'll just use their name (e.g. Akechi will just be "#goro akechi").
For the characters that don't have a canon name/have more than one name that the fandom calls them, I will tag them as follows:
P3 protag (male): I forgor
P3 protag (female): I forgor this one too oops
P4 protag: Yu Narukami
P5 protag: Ren Amamiya
"Sumi" Yoshizawa: Sumire Yoshizawa (I know that tagging her like this is spoilers but shhh it's fine. This blog isn't exactly P5R spoiler-free anyways lol)
Tags involving 2+ characters
Sometimes, when I really like the dynamic between two or more characters, I'll make a tag dedicated specifically to said dynamic. Essentially, I'll just take the arcana of the characters involved in the dynamic, and combine them. For example, posts revolving around the Akechi/Futaba dynamic would be "#the hermit/the justice". The order that the arcana are in is decided by what order each arcana is in in a tarot deck (e.g. the Hermit comes before the Justice). Not every character dynamic will be tagged like this, only the ones that I personally enjoy enough to tag. Also, I will almost exclusively be using this tagging system for the P5 cast. Sorry P3/4 fans!
Other tags with 2+ characters
#pts - Posts involving several (or all) of the Phantom Thieves
#other p5 characters - Catch-all tag for P5 characters that I don't post/care enough about to tag them individually
Games
#p1
#p2
#p3
#p4
#p5
#p5r
#p5s
AUs, theories, meta, all that
#acau - For the P5 Adult Confidants AU
#antithesis au - Art, writing, etc where the roles of Ren and Akechi switch (i.e. Akechi as the protag and Ren as the "detective prince")
#futago siblings - Content where Akechi and Futaba are half-siblings. One of my personal favorite theories tbh
#shuake art
#akechi meta
Other media
#icons
#wallpapers
#edits and such - For edits that I don't really know how else to sort. Good examples are moodboards and pride flag edits
Artists
I have a small handful of P5 artists on here whose stuff I really like. I try tagging their stuff with their name so that I can find it easily in the future :)
#marudyne
#doodleodds
#scruffyturtles
#vhvrs
Miscellaneous tags
#vu's posts - My posts
#vu's rants/vents - More negative stuff. If you want to block this tag then I get it honestly, since not everyone wants to read more vent-like posts (even if the posts are related to Persona)
#fav - My favorite posts. This tag is used for funny/lighthearted stuff
#fave - My favorite posts. This is for more serious posts (e.g. an art piece that I really like)
#end of previous tags - Sometimes I'll put the previous person's tags in my own. When I do that, I'll typically put this after their tags that I copied
#va4 rambles in the tags - When I go on tangents and such in the tags. It's kinda fun to look through here sometimes and see what kinds of stuff I've tagged with this omg
#vu's posts#i'm not done with this post btw. just posting it now so that it doesn't get buried in my drafts omg

Ok I said that I was done talking about the shootout scene, but no. Listen. When the scab leader approaches Kim from behind while he's assessing your condition, you can do a skill check to warn him. That skill check gives you a bonus and is easier to pass if Kim trusts you, and even *more* bonus points if he *really* trusts you. I have a hunch that if you don't warn Kim to turn around then he DIES. Like listen. You're more likely to be able to warn him to turn around if he trusts you, okay? Whether or not Kim trusts you can be a deciding factor in whether he lives or dies. Do you hear me? His level of trust in you can determine his fate! DO YOU HEAR ME. WHETHER HE TRUSTS YOU OR NOT CAN DETERMINE IF HE LIVES OR DIES. LIKE HELLO!!!
#vu's posts#disco elysium#disco elysium spoilers#y'all i am going Insane over the implications of this. THE IMPLICATIONS#and look. i'll admit. this has been a blind playthrough. maybe he doesn't die even if you don't warn him#but i just have a feeling that he does#(but shhh don't tell me if he does or not. i'm gonna test this theory in my next run. i'm gonna make him hate me in my next playthrough)#but yeah if that isn't fucking poetic then i don't know what is#va4 rambles in the tags

It's so funny when I like come across x reader content of van Zieks, because even as someone whose favorite DGS character is him (and as someone who is very much attracted to him rip), I'm still just like "You want to marry him? The racist 30 year old? No <3 I'd rather hit him with a car"
#vu's posts#this is no hate to ppl who like that content btw. like i respect the hustle#(the hustle being content creation/supporting content creators)#but yeah i just could never see myself wanting to be with this man like that even in a hypothetical scenario#maybe it's the aro in me. maybe it's the age difference#maybe it's the fact that we'd clash because damn he's just like me fr. maybe it's the racism#but yeah even if i was alloro i would NOT want to marry this man 💀#va4 rambles in the tags#tgaa#barok van zieks

I'm just now remembering that I never mentioned this here, but... After three years of wanting to cosplay him, I'm finally working on an Akechi cosplay! Specifically this outfit:
So far I've only gotten the hoodie and the black bandana(?) around his waist. I've made decent progress on the hoodie design, but I'm not finished yet
Be on the lookout for updates! I made more progress today so I should be posting about that soon hehe
#vu's posts#also can i just say that the big star was. SO difficult to draw#i tried doing it freehand at first#but it kept looking bad so i almost gave up#then i decided 'nah fuck this' and put the reference pic on my tv#and i just put some paper on the tv and traced the design 😂#from there i just cut out the design from the excess paper and drew it onto the hoodie#also. the white is just a base coat to prevent the gold from looking patchy#and yes i'm using fabric paint. what of it#i really need to learn how to embroider tbh#i have one other cosplay that i really want to do after this one. and i'd prefer to do any special embellishments#with embroidery as opposed to fabric paint#fabric paint is great and all but it can look a bit amateur 😵#i'll have to order embroidery floss so i can start learning lol. i already own an embroidery hoop even. like it's time to learn#ANYWAYS that's all i had to say#va4 rambles in the tags

So... I finally started playing Disco Elysium
#vu's posts#technically i started playing it months ago omg. like... 7 or 8 months ago? idk#i kept hearing about it in a like. leftist gaming group i'm in on fb. so i was like 'hm. let's research this'#the trailer made me think it was a third person shooter or something which was a big nope for me lmaoooo#but i kept hearing more and more good stuff about it and was like '...my brother has it on pc. i'll try it out myself'#i tried it out for a good hour and a half or so. i was hella weirded out by it but so fascinated that i was like 'i gotta buy this'#fast forward to. a week and a half ago. i've had the game sitting on my ps4 screen for like a month now and i still haven't touched it#(i bought it on sale btw. if that matters)#i was like 'alright fuck it. i keep telling myself to start this up again so let's do that'#and i did.. and immediately got pulled into the world omg#this is probably my new hyperfixation if i'm gonna be honest lmaoooo#figuring out the gameplay mechanics has been kinda tricky but also fun. learning about the lore too#also i'm not far into it yet so maybe i shouldn't be thinking up headcanons. but i think that kim might be autistic#i don't think i'm reaching here because i said this to a friend who's hella into de and they were like 'oh yeah i see it tbh'#but yeah#va4 rambles in the tags

Master List of All My Blogs and the Tags I Use For Them
So I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, since I want to have all my stuff organized and in one place.

Jaxter

Ashetorn
Daxtess
Bio:
So, I’ve been into this series for a little over 12 years at this point, and needless to say, it was literally my childhood. When I turned seven years old, I got my first gaming system -a PlayStation 2- and the first video game I ever owned, Jak 3.
So I fell in love with the game, and I of course sought to own, and play, the whole series (when I was first playing the games, I played the third, fourth, first, and then the second game, in that order). When I was about nine some things went down that caused me, along with my brothers, to have to move out of state to live with our grandparents, thus forcing me to leave my PS2 behind.
So for about eight years I've been waiting to play the games again, and of course, I lost my mind when I heard that they were being ported to the PS4. They're literally the only reason I bought a PS4 to begin with!
I've played all the games in the series except for Daxter and The Lost Frontier (the latter of which I'd only found out about last December, thanks to Wikipedia), but weirdly enough I couldn’t remember much of anything about the games after a year or two of not playing them (until I started playing them again in December 2017, of course!).
Currently, I’ve completed the whole trilogy, as well as X. I'm more than open to discuss any of the three, so feel free to chat with me about them!
Sly Cooper Shitposts
Bio:
I got into the Sly series somewhat recently (July 3, 2018). Since then, it’s been one of my favorite series, and one of the only series I play. I don’t really have much else to add here, other than this: if you’ve never played these games, either play them or watch a let’s play (play them if you can though). The entire trilogy can be found on Playstation Now if you have a PS4 and don’t want to hunt down a PS2 and all the games just to play them.
Ratchet & Clank Shitposting
Bio:
Like the Sly games, I got into this series pretty recently (March 26, 2018). At the time I was looking to try out some PS2-era franchises similar to the Jak and Daxter series, which is why I initially tried these games out. My first R&C game I played was the 2016 reboot, and while the humor, characters and all that weren’t the best, it was really fun to play and got me wanting to play the older games. After a couple months or so I played some of the earlier games on PSN (Quest for Booty, Crack in Time, and Into the Nexus) and enjoyed them a LOT more than the reboot overall (mostly CiT though, since although I played QfB I didn’t especially care about it, and I enjoyed the intro for ItN a lot but got bored with it).
Hamilton Shitposts
Tags:
#not hamilton
Bio:
I’ve known about Hamilton since mid-2016 (thanks to a former friend of mine), but I actually kind of hated it for a while, because of said friend (let’s just say that she constantly shoved Hamilton content in my face without properly introducing me to the musical first).
It wasn’t until last December (December 2017) that I finally got interested in the musical. My brother who lives out-of-state was visiting for the holidays, and he literally blasted Alexander Hamilton and Non-Stop in the house several times during his stay. After listening to them a few times I actually really liked them (especially Non-Stop), so when I got some free time (sometime on 1/14/18, since of course I still remember the exact day I got into Hamilton), I decided to listen to the whole musical, and I loved it.
Now pretty much all I listen to is Hamilton. I know I’m going to say this at the end of all these other bios, but seriously, if you want to talk to me about Hamilton, message me.
Guardians of the Galaxy Shitposting
Tags:
#not gotg --Not Guardians related, but you should probably still see what it is
Ships/Pairings (Ships that are crossed out are my NOTPs):
Starmora (My OTP)
Roquill
Drax x Mantis
Bio:
So to start off, I thought I’d just say that I’ve only ever watched the films, but I have read a tiny bit of the comics as well.
I got into the franchise in early June last year (2017) when I saw Guardians 2 with a friend, and let me tell you, I really wanted to see it, despite not caring about the series at all. If I didn't care about the series at the time, why did I want to see the movie so badly? Well, let's just say that I only wanted to see it for that sweet, sweet "plot" if you know what I mean. 👀 I also just needed something to distract me at the time, since I had been going through some really difficult stuff around that time (I plan on making a post about what happened at some point, so if I do, then you’ll be able to find it here). Once it was over I fell in love with the characters, and the franchise overall, since the second film had not only far exceeded my expectations, but it also helped me cope with the bad stuff that had happened to me not too long before.
Feel free to discuss the series with me, since I’m usually more than happy to talk about it. Thanks in advance!
Ace Attorney Shitposts
Tags:
#not aa
Favorite Characters (Characters that are crossed out are characters that I don’t like):
Apollo Justice
Bio:
I’ve been into this series for about two... actually, almost three years now! (where has all that time gone?).
My brother actually got me into this series! I watched him play Rise From the Ashes one night (I think it was somewhere around March 2015), and I was kind of interested in trying it out after that (although I kept my mouth shut about wanting to try it, since I was really self-conscious about trying new things at the time).
I didn’t get to actually play Ace Attorney until mid-June that year, when my brother one day shoved his 3DS in my hands, telling me to play First Turnabout. After playing through the whole case, I got obsessed, and I was also really excited, since he was going to buy the trilogy for me on our Wii (he didn’t live with us, so he couldn’t let me play the games on his DS). I didn’t officially get into the series until July 2nd that year, which is when I started playing the trilogy on our Wii.
I completed the first game in three days, and I was obsessed with Ace Attorney for about a year and a half after that (I think that’s the longest that any obsession of mine has ever been my, “Main Obsession”). I also had a huge overblown crush on Phoenix most of that time (which is surprising in hindsight, since I couldn’t care less about him anymore).
I’m now just a casual fan of the series, and I’m down to discuss Spirit of Justice any time (since it’s my favorite game in the series), but I don’t really care to discuss the others (not usually, anyways). So anyways, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my blog!
Pokémon Shitposts
Tags:
#not pkm

Scolipede
Glalie

Rayquaza
Kyurem

Charizard line
Talonflame
Swampert line
Decidueye
Greninja line
Mimikyu
Bio:
I’ve been into Pokémon for as long as I can remember. I know that I’ve been into it for at least 13 years, but I feel like I’ve liked it for much longer.
I didn’t start to really obsess over it until the age of 11, after getting Explorers of Sky for my birthday (one of the Mystery Dungeon games). Once Gen. 5 had started, I only got more into Pokémon. I mostly collected the cards, but I did also play a lot of Rumble Blast. And let me just say, I was honestly so into the TCG, that it was kind of unhealthy.
I lost interest in the franchise for a little over a year, starting at the age of 13 (thanks to My Little Pony), but once I stopped liking MLP, I just went right back to obsessing over Pokémon, but with a bit less emphasis on the cards, and more on the games (Who am I kidding? I was still immersed in the TCG world at this time! Just, not quite as much as before).
After about a year of being addicted to Pokémon (again), I started to become more of a casual fan of the series, turning my interest towards other things (i.e., Ace Attorney and Steven Universe).
It wasn’t until I started playing Sun (a month after it released) that I started obsessing over the franchise (for the third time). I became a casual fan again soon after finishing the game, which was somewhere in early March of 2017.
Currently, I’m just a casual fan of the series (aside from my several characters, who I’ve had around for three years at this point). I can’t really suggest you trying to discuss Pokémon with me, since I am just a casual fan nowadays (Unless if you want to know about my characters I mentioned!). Thanks for reading!
Miscellaneous:
Favorite generations: Five and two
Favorite types: Ice, Rock, Electric, Ground, Steel
Favorite Pokémon throughout the years (from oldest to my current favorite):
Pikachu
Drifloon
Cyndaquil
Oshawott
Dewott
Skitty
Archeops
Vanillite
Vanillish
Vanilluxe
The End
You’ve reached the end of this post; congrats! I will be updating this as needed, so check back here as often as you feel like. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
