#and bc hanjae really did that

[theinfinitedivides]

had to go back and rewatch the first half of ep 3 for fic research purposes and i have been stuck on Ryang Eum's outfit for the past three hours. what the f*ck is the name of that thing hooked to his belt bc i have tried everything i can think of to search on Naver and i am getting nothing

update: friend of a mutual did some digging and it is in fact most likely to be a yaopai/yopae/norigae-esque thing. my suffering was not for naught

[burningcheese-merchant]

I yearn for Fire Spirit yap... He's also one of my top favorites from crob and I love hearing about people's interpretations/why they like a character. °☆

I love Fire Spirit so much dude lol. Always have. Been playing Ovenbreak for almost 10 years now (whew) and he won a piece of my heart on minute one

For one, I actually really like his design. Simple and sleek. I adore that smug little smirk of his, so cute. I get annoyed when I see people say they think he looks boring, they're all entirely CRK players and thus don't have the understanding or appreciation for FS that OB players do (this is also seen with Rebel and Wind Archer. It pissed me off how harsh so many players were towards Rebel especially. He looks perfect the way he is). Thin-skinned, know-nothing 12 year olds want overdesigned Genshin Impact characters, like a lot of CRK characters ended up looking like (no shade), bc they're too dumb and immature to understand that less is often more

Second, I really enjoy his voice. His is one of the only English ones I actually like. It's perfect imo. Whenever I read through my PitayaFire fics, it's that voice that I hear when I read his lines lol. (I also love his JP and KR voices ofc. Former especially bc he shares a voice with my favorite anime character)

Third and most importantly, I genuinely love his personality. Asshole with a hidden heart of gold is how I always read him. I can't help but be charmed by his cocky, irreverent attitude. Always running his mouth, always got something to say. He's got wit. He's got a bite. He never takes anything lying down. He will roast you both figuratively and literally, and gladly regardless. But somewhere underneath that dickishness is a genuinely good guy. He's been shown to have a soft spot for children (his arc with Habanero + official artwork depicting him looking after Snow Sugar and Apple + him raising an orphaned Tiger Lily (I know that was in the hanja comics and those were never canon, but shut up. I love that part. It's incredibly sweet and adds a lot of depth to his character. FS and TL are adopted father and daughter, you'll never take that from me)). Despite appearances, he actually does work very hard to keep the Dragon's Valley alive and thriving. He cares about Pitaya Dragon and expresses worry/concern over his declining power/condition (although it's a bit more subtle here; you have to read between the lines and pay attention to his expression/sprite). He's friends with the other Elementals, particularly Wind Archer (always imagined a best bros thing with them). Some way, somehow, despite how he is, he still manages to care for others, and others care for him. When push comes to shove, he comes through. He's the kind of character whose actions prove who he REALLY is, behind his harsh words. A jerk with a good soul deep down.

Furthermore, I adore the mystery of his character. It's long since been revealed that he was not always Fire Spirit; he was a regular old mortal once, and became who he is now through a deal with Pitaya Dragon that saved him from the brink of death. Just who was he in the before time? What was his name? Did he always behave the way he does, or was he a completely different person? Does he remember his past at all? Does he care? Does he miss his old life even a little bit? Does he have any lingering questions or concerns or even regrets about the deal he struck and the life he lives now? (I know he said in one scene that he doesn't regret anything, but one really has to wonder with something of that magnitude.) If he knew what would become of him back then, would he have chosen differently? There's so much to consider, you know? It makes him extremely fascinating, more so than almost any other character in the series

And ugh... his relationship with Pitaya Dragon. God I could rant about that forEVER. There's so much interesting complexity underlining their dynamic. Forever bound, in body and spirit, to the person who saved your life... who did so not quite out of genuine altruism, but because they were so impressed and amused by his persistence in the face of certain doom (that's something else I like about him. FS never gives up. He kept fighting for his own life even as it slipped through his fingers like volcanic sand). Who essentially remade him, liberated him from his suffering and his old life and gave him a brand new identity and purpose - one that he now has no choice but to shoulder for eternity. With how old they both are, they must have such a long and storied history together. They must've said and done so much with, to, for each other during all those long years. They mean something to each other, they must, if only because of that. Again, it's been implied more than once that Fire Spirit is genuinely worried about Pitaya Dragon's well-being; some of it is probably due to them being tied together (something happens to Pitaya, something will happen to FS), yes, but what if there's more? And Pitaya Dragon likes Fire Spirit, he never would've helped him if he didn't. So much so that, in one scene, FS remarks that Pitaya didn't think anything of mortals before they met. It was FIRE SPIRIT who changed Pitaya Dragon's mind about the mortal world and its value. It was FIRE SPIRIT that got the ball rolling to where it is today: with Pitaya fostering real, lasting friendships with mortals and standing up for them when they need help. It's why I'm willing to argue that Fire Spirit is the most important person in Pitaya Dragon's life outside of the other dragons. He's the one who inspired Pitaya Dragon to change his ways, whether anyone realizes it or not. Him, NOT Hollyberry. Fire Spirit did all the work fixing that dumb dragon and it's her that gets all the credit. He was by Pitaya's side long before she was ever born. But no, it's her one-note friendly rivalry with Pitaya that gets all the praise while the far more interesting and complex relationship he has with Fire Spirit gets ignored (or worse, relegated to a bs parent/child headcanon). But that's none of my business ig

I could make a whole separate post just yapping about him with Pitaya tbh lol. It grinds my gears that they've had so little time together onscreen. (My tinfoil hat theory is that Devsis knows that it will be extremely, unequivocally gay and are trying to delay the inevitable. FOOLS!) Hopefully he actually does come out in April/May as was hinted at in leaks, and hopefully he gets time with Pitaya. I need more ship fuel.

TL;DR Snarky Fire Man is my all-time favorite Cookie Run character next to Dark Cacao. Asshole with a heart of gold + hidden layers + fascinating mysterious past + interesting relationships with other characters, primarily Pitaya. If I see anyone say he looks boring when he releases I will lose my damn mind

[hanja-mikii]

compiling a massive list of every single oc pairing I have currently just to have it all in one place and I can look back on it *just* for times like this

so you can like, ignore it or something

Minecraft:

Hanja/Nox - Semi-canon, I leave implications of it in but they’re pretty open ended story wise. (Note: Minecraft Hanja not me Hanja.)

Asphoria/Cypherix - Semi-canon, leave it up to people whether they want them to remain friends or move onto something further.

Hanja/Rakka - Purely a crackship but I like it so.

Hanza/Mirage - The tension between these two assholes is crazy. Mirage is a 2B2T survivor and veteran and Hanza is just feel pirate lady. Lmao.

Pokemon:

*exclusive to my project, Brain and Brawn.

Brain/Brendan - Not really elaborating because it takes too much explaining but yeah.

Brawn/Gladion - I hold onto this more for nostalgia, it isn’t really possible until Brawn overcomes her depression near the end of the story anyways. But sure it can stay in.

Elemental Guard:

Roo/Hia - Normally I wouldn’t touch servant/master with a 50 foot pole but they feel way less like that trope than they normally would be thought to. And I guess if we go by their race hierarchy in universe even if he’s the crowned prince she technically outranks him (shadow troll) by being an earth troll.

Malco/Crystos - Yay, our second 100% canon pair after Roo and Hia. Not much to say about it, they are very much lovebirds.

Miitopia:

Viola/Janson - I love them so much,, , when I try to talk about them there’s so much that it bottlenecks and makes me want to explode. All I can say, if the Skyscraper isn’t proof enough that MC/EDL is literally canon idk what is. Oh maybe New Lumos. I just love them okay.

Hilda/Sylvia - THE OG LESBIAN DUO I LOVE THEEEMMMM AAAAAAAA someone said they’ve yet to see a lesbian ship where one of them isn’t a cop and I feel so bad because Hilda’s the chief of police lmao—

Pamela/Jeffrey - They’re for when I feel like indulging in very very cutesy concepts. Jeffrey is the definition of loving you even when you’re a worm (because Pamela used to be a cat).

Odina/Viola - One sided. Odina in canon loves Viola but she’s already married to Jan so-

Not listing NPC pairs because there’s way too many like Norma/Ein, Sherri/Tycho, etc…

Bakugan:

Blank/Dan - Dan is so sweet what the fuck, I cannot believe he’s had all these potential gfs and he chose none of them 😭 So he’s choosing Blank but it’s bittersweet because he still fucks off on that boat and leaves her behind so

Ienera/Gunz - They’re so fucking silly but I feel bad for Ienera because her bf appears for like one episode then becomes a victim of identity theft for the entire season 😭😭😭

Bakugan Battle Planet:

Dan/Blank - Fuckers, you thought I wouldn’t make reboot Blank be with reboot Dan for real this time?

Beyblade Burst:

Aiko/Silas - comfort ship fr, Silas is a huge comfort character of mine and I gave him SO much lore. Also Aiko really needs him to put her in her place because he’s the only one in BC Sol willing to talk back to her ehwjsudhs

Mahiru/Valt - They’re so sweet what the fuck 😭😭 like it’s literally the star athlete + his cheerleader aaaaaAAAAA—

Akila/Ranmaru - Pair with my friend Saber’s OC Ranmaru, I need to do more with them I love them rrraaahhhhh feral lesbians my beloveds.

Okelani/Arthur - Dumbass adults who keep getting their shit handed to them by 10 year olds half their age and size. They’re for more realistic depictions of adult couples in a highly cartoonized and minor centric universe. They do taxes and plan where to use their first time home buyers discount.

Alessia/Gwyn - Ah yes, the neurotypical and her highly autistic gf. Really only works out in the context of Gwyn being a girl idk why but I only accept Alessia being a girl kisser.

JJBA:

Kokoro/Josuke - … I’m taking this shit to the grave I’ll never elaborate on this. I spent the entire semester of robotics class building the robot while my friend did the coding and we watched Part 4 together on his laptop and I had the fattest fucking crush on Josuke back then so don’t ask me about this.

Mashle:

Abyssa/Finn - Holy fuck I just really like Finn okay. He’s so smol… and I know he’s offput by scary people but Abyssa’s a lil different, yknow? Like she’s the Sunshine Protector protecting her Sunshine.

Neru/Margaret - FUCKING LOOK AT MARGARET OKAY. LOOK AT THEM. DOT IS FUCKING BLIND IF HES RANKING THEM THAT LOW IN LOOKS JUST BECAUSE THEYRE NONBINARY. FUCK YOU DOT. IF MARGARET HAS NO FANS ITS BECAUSE IM DEAD. I WILL GIVE THEM THE BIGGEST SMECK ON THE FOREHEAD. I EVEN DID MARGARETS MAKEUP AND MARKINGS IRL. THATS HOW DEDICATED TO THIS PERSON I AM. okay so like im normal about them i swear.

Genshin Impact:

Raphael/Navia - Very, very new pair. But I’ve had a minor crush on Navia for a very long time I just couldn’t bring together good enough ideas for a gf. Then my MVP bestie Saber helped me and now Raphael exists. Raph WORSHIPS the very ground Navia steps on. Get yourself a woman who treats you like her Morticia.

Diwen/Zhongli - Tragic. Diwen loves Zhongli and has since forever. But because she thought he was with Guizhong and she respected Guizhong a lot more than she loved Zhongli, she kept her feelings to herself. Even in current day now that Guizhong is long dead, she doesn’t dare try and make a move on Zhongli out of pure respect, so she holds it in even more. Tragic tragic. Anyways they’re Hu Taos grandparents now.

___/Tighnari - I’ve had a Tighnari ship for the longest time, he’s such a refreshing character to have no trauma, both parents alive and well, a job he loves and does well, actual schooling, and is relatable as fuck. But the oc I had with him is currently under construction for the third time so.

Goddess Kiss OVE:

Calluna/Tirza - I know this game was meant for cishet dudes who don’t leave their basement but come on Tirza’s a canon lesbian she even hates men.

Mario:

Plumosa/Wario - Okay you guys can bring out the pitchforks. I personally view them as very platonic. Like they willingly choose to have each other in their lives. They feel incomplete without the other and it’s from nothing but the purest of friendships. And they’re gym rats together so yeah.

Lily/Waluigi - These mfs are so popular, I didn’t think they would be but they are. Anyways Waluigi is hot as fuck and I don’t trust you if you think otherwise.

Otoca D’or:

Mochi/Yomi - just a cute little funsies ship.

Sonic:

Roxanne/Knuckles - I’m so tired I don’t want to elaborate on this but it comes from my concept of another Sonic game that features two whole ass new islands and the gang goes on vacation to one of them but then an ancient god and shit wakes up and they need to save the day. So yeah. Also they’re a thing in Boom too, fucking dumbasses.

Roxanne/Tyresa - Canon in abbs.with.abs’s Gaia Infection AU, Knuckles dies, Roxanne gets stranded with Tyresa and then they find comfort in each other instead. Otherwise not really, I might play around with it but I like Knuckles a lil too much to commit.

Stardew Valley:

Kasumi/Sam - What can I say? I like the manchild who causes property damage and jams out. Ambitious king with no motivation. Love it.

Yandere Simulator:

Nodoka/Geiju - The painter and his favorite thing to paint. Artsy duo fr.

How to Train Your Dragon:

Brutalia/Snotlout - Brutalia’s only present in Race to the Edge, idk what happens to her in canon mainline movies but she defo ain’t around after that.

DuckTales:

Carrie/Dewey - I can’t remember why this is a thing but my DuckTales phases lasted like a week.

Carrie/Webby - crackship, in an alternate universe I can totally imagine Carrie getting a mild crush on Webby so-

Tokyo Revengers:

Toruko(Diva)/Shuji - They’re really fun to think about and the more I add to it the cuter it lowkey gets even if they’re both apathetic psychos. Truly made in heaven.

Yotsuba(Orange Caramel)/Chifuyu - My god they’re cute… I’ll elaborate when I do more Yotsuba stuff. Yotsuba has fr said “hmm… I really do like the sound of Matsuno Yotsuba though…”

Cookie Run:

Dusty Miller Cookie/Bellflower Cookie - I’m so fucking gay for Bellflower you don’t even get it. And I know she’s a cookie. But she’s a cute fucking cookie damnit.

Hunter x Hunter:

Koruso/Feitan - Short king obsessed with his tall as fuck gf. Love it. Not a normal relationship at all but it works for them.

Highschool of the Dead:

Nozaka/Kohta - This phase lasted like 1 week but still. Comforting.

Epithet Erased:

___/Zora - It was over when it was said she likes hourglass figures and was bi lmao. The character I put her with has been unnamed for years though, even if her Epithet was finalized already.

BNHA:

Sensu/Tenya - Again will never publicly talk about this because the fandom is terrible. But I still kinda like Tenya as a character he’s okay.

Shugo Chara:

Brie/Kairi - I can’t accept him and Yaya I’m sorry. She’s a literal baby. Isn’t it kind of weird to be with someone who dreams of being a literal baby? Anyways office queen Brie and samurai king Kairi are superb. (And not lowkey illegal).

 ⟨ ›   𝐌 𝐎 𝐎 𝐃 𝐁 𝐎 𝐀 𝐑 𝐃   ‹ ⟩   ╾  ‹career: soso collaborate›

the filming of soso turns out to become more of a statement than he thought when agreeing to do it in the first place. the song was interesting enough, he liked it, but if he had known when being shuffled into the collaborative spot he’d end up going nude on set and feeling emotionally connected to and exposed by a song? he might have thought twice about agreeing, and then did it anyway of course because he’s gyu hanjae after all. the filming was overwhelming even for someone like him, and unforgettable both to him and the countless audience probably not expecting a fully nude hanjae in the music video. yet, it stands as a memory he’ll never forget.
