"fuck it we ball" is for stress about the future "it is what it is" is for stress about the past and "this too shall pass" is for stress about the present thank you for coming to my TED talk

Thinking about more stuff with Blainebot, under a cut due to mature themes.

In Wizard In Glass, it's clear that part of how Blaine had "entertained" his higher profile passengers was through holograms that could perform sexual favors, given what he had said to Jake during the riddle contest.

When given the option to have a body made of alien tech, Blaine went the route of making it completely male, instead of monosexual like AMaton or not including a sex altogether like KARRbot. He sees himself as male, and so that's the hardware he gives himself. However he's sort of more like KARRbot than AMaton in that his genitalia is not set in one place, there's sort of a seam down the middle of his belly where adaptive manipulators and his genitalia can move freely to where he wants them. This is where I take a bit of inspiration from ratbat's dire machines, where Blainebot can maneuver his phallus wherever is most convenient (for himself, mainly).

Given he did mention the features of his holograms freely, Blainebot is comfortable with sexuality- and deep down he wishes to know what it is like, instead of detachedly witnessing what his holograms did to pleasure his high profile passengers. Male or female, it does not matter, he sees beauty in both. His eye does however, wander most consistently towards AMaton when he ponders the act. His form is quite alluring to him, strong yet curvy, and there's his face- his lips.

There's plenty of days where Blainebot has spent the hours contemplating him, and during their conversations there's nothing lacking in AMaton's personality either. He interests him more than Ted or KARRbot, and while he's not interested in fulfilling Ted's fears of stealing AMaton away entirely, he does have ideas in mind of perhaps taking AMaton for himself every now and again.

Given the discussions that AMaton and Blainebot get into at times, it doesn't seem so far fetched that AMaton would object to the idea either.

So, to recap, Hayato Suo:

Does basically everything with a permanent smile on his face (it's NOT always reassuring).

Wears an eyepatch and we absolutely do not know if there is a working eye beneath it.

He claims there is a Chinese spirit under the aforementioned eyepatch. In the character book he states this seal was "about to be broken", whatever that means.

He introduces himself as Leonardo Fucking Dicaprio for some reason.

He is touchy.

He calls other guys "Cutie" (derogatory) (is it only derogatory?).

He teases people (Sakura) as if it's second nature.

He can (and might) actually kill you.

His Hobby is freaking Human Observation which leads to his best subject being Chem and his freaking best skill being World Manipulation.

His favorite music is Folk Music.

His dream is the Emancipation of Slaves (which. Holy Moly Ravioli. The others listed a gf or a trip and there he goes).

Has a Master and Brothers (Relatives? Other disciples of this Master?) we know absolutely nothing about.

He NEVER eats. The single panel in the manga where he is shown eating has been "corrected" in the anime adaptation with him handing the food to Nirei. And he claims to be on a (unspecified) diet.

He has yet to go all-out.

Berates others on what it takes to be an adult (he is at most 16).

He claims to be a "chill guy" (spoilers, he is not)

What is wrong with him.

Thinking about the previous post with AM's perspective on Blaine while finding him in Lud, all I can imagine is something akin to him having the lemons rant at the communication box in Blaine's cradle.

Like he's going off, trying to get Blaine to become royally pissed at the denizens of Lud instead of just "meh". Ted meanwhile either watches on with a mix of concern and amazement, or he becomes like the GLaDOS to AM's Cave Johnson and just hypes him on.

Chuuya's reaction to Dazai getting hurt during the Lovecraft fight has always been so interesting to me...

Because it's the kind of worry you'd never expect from a character as gruff as Chuuya, who had displayed nothing but hostility towards Dazai so far. Usually, characters that are labelled as "angry" or "anger issues" (which Chuuya is much more complex than that but you get my point) act more as a tsundere type of way when the one they "don't care about" gets hurt. And show their care in very, very subtle ways (ex. their eyes widen, their mouth parts and closes again, etc) before putting up their front once more.

Chuuya, however, is open, and vocal about it. His worry is clear not only to us, but to Dazai himself, the one he shouldn't be displaying the concern to (as per the cliche). Shouldn't it be some sort of secret that Chuuya does care? Isn't that what skk's dynamic has been shaping up to be until now?

I'm telling you- the way my mind blanked when Chuuya just casually.... showed concern not once, but twice, was a sight to see.

Besides, the context makes it much more confusing, because Dazai isn't some rookie, and Chuuya knows that more than anybody. He was the youngest executive in Port Mafia's history, of course he can handle a hit or two. Of course he'd seen him handle a hit or two, sometimes without batting an eye.

Heck, Chuuya himself was hurling Dazai like a ragdoll in their reunion, which was their last meeting. And you could argue that he was going easy on him, but Dazai has mostly withstood the same damage (as far as I could see), and Chuuya was as bitter as ever.

So that kind of contradicts both what we knew of Chuuya so far, and how their dynamic was shaped to be. I mean, that just makes Chuuya a hypocrite, yeah? What makes him care now, all of a sudden? What makes him care at all?

Well, to me, this backasswards reaction implies one (or more) of the following:

- Dazai rarely got physically hurt during their partnership and thus this is an unexpected thing for him to see (during a mission).

- The four years of separation made Chuuya unsure of how much Dazai can withstand physically now. Also the fact that he isn't in the mafia anymore, aka fighting enemy organizations on the weekly, would naturally make Dazai lose his touch in a way, what prompts Chuuya's reaction.

- Dazai getting taken off guard took him off guard which led to panic. Especially since the situation was (momentarily) out of their depth. Seriously wtf even was Lovecraft?

- During the dungeon scene Dazai was an enemy, while in the Lovecraft fight he was as an ally. The difference might be significant to Chuuya.

- This has always been Chuuya's reaction to Dazai getting hurt regardless of the situation.

- "Only I can hurt him like that" ahh logic

- Asagiri was still experimenting with their dynamic and thus there are some inconsistencies.

This scenario didn't play out again (after their reunion) for me to exactly determine which one is more plausible, but it is 100% canon for Chuuya to shamelessly show his concern and run to Dazai to check on him before properly dealing with their opponent, which I find to be such an appealing layer to their dynamic, and a good spin on the type of character he gets stereotyped as.

Bonus: Dazai also becomes a softy when Chuuya's hurt, especially post corruption. Dead Apple alone displays that multiple times.

All in all, Skk are doing a terrible job at maintaining their 'hostile' and 'antagonistic' relationship post their reunion. Freaks.
