Annon-Guy: If there was a third XBLAZE game or a released compilation of the two XBLAZE games, what would you like to see? P.S. Who's your favorite XBLAZE character?

Feeling a little better than I have been, so I can finally get to some of these asks! I actually have a few sitting around that are pretty interesting; thank you, everyone who's reached out to me!

Now onto your topic, Annon Guy!

I would love to see a prequel focused on the Wadatsumi Incident, with Ryouko Kagari as the protagonist. We've already been given a good amount of information about what happened there, and a surprising amount of characters who were involved have been named. I would love to formally meet Ryouko and Sui (and finally get a design for the later.) Maybe get a name for Mr. Amanohokosaka, finally???

We would also get a chance to see more of the XBlaze Ten Sages, which I'm always hungry for. I tend to get hung up on things when we're given some members from a group of characters, and know there are more, but don't get to see them. And Drei has such strong feelings about the Ten Sages being corrupt; maybe we could get a better understanding of why he feels that way, and what he stands for, if we could meet his antithesis. Like, these are the people who betrayed his ideals so deeply that he walked away from everything he'd dedicated his life to, everything Zwei had entrusted him with as her pupil. If given a chance to be fully developed, these could be some interesting characters.

It would also be great to see more of who Avenge and Unomaru were a decade ago. Lost Memories gave us a chance to see Unomaru during the disaster, and I loved it! I love seeing people through different lenses throughout their lives, as they develop. I want more of that, for him and the rest of the cast.

So if I could get a full third installment in the XBlaze series, I'd like a Wadatsumi Incident prequel. Though in your ask, you also suggested a re-release compilation. I know you brought that up as part of the same hypothetical, just to set the stage for the question, but I'm kind of inclined to approach it as its own ask. Like, a full third game would have room to tell a full story. But the best re-releases add fun bonus content, like an extra side story or something. It has to be shorter, more compact. Since the requirements are different, so is my answer.

In a similar vein to my earlier answer, I would love to see some kind of Bloodedge Experience teaser- some small story several years in the future that would bridge the gap between XB and BE. Mei as the head of her clan, troubles with young Saya Terumi, etc.

Though the more I think about it, the more stuff comes to mind. There's just so much I want to see. Kuon as a member of the Ten Sages, maybe meeting or instructing the XB world's Konoe. A jump back to the past to see ANY of the Ten Sage Trio before they defected.

I guess I'm kind of greedy...

For your last question... The other Terumi stans are going to put a bounty on me for this, but my absolute favorite XBlaze character is Ripper. No contest.

I didn't like him early on- I had the same kind of complaints a lot of Terumi fans do. That he was just some boring nobody shoved into a Terumi-esque "quirky crazy villain" role to fill a quota. But I don't think that's actually fair to either of them, to reduce them to their most basic and shallow tropes. On further inspection, I feel the two really aren't alike at all.

There is something so so so wrong with Ripper, like, not in his head but in that he- his physical form- he's a fucking freak of nature. What the hell is a Strange Red? How and why did he get Union-ed spontaneously? I just- I'm #kining the Ten Sages here, man. I ALSO want to take his corpse home to study it. Who wouldn't???

Sorry Kiri ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EXTREMELY funny that there are still Guilty Gear players that are still unironically mad at Blazblue for 'taking its place' or whatever. Like, the last main series game came out a decade ago and has mostly been windmilling aimlessly since. Strive is practically a mainstream game and Blazblue's most recent installment is a phone app that I've seen maybe one person talk about. It's like being successful in your thirties and still holding a grudge against your middle school bully, like, you won, man, why are you still angry?

It's cute how the silly snakes likes to eat their ties. uwu

It's like a daddy (Terumi) imitating his baby (Hazama) to play with him *w* (Sorry for seeing this as age play, I'm doomed. Because according to Freud: oral stage is a part of the psychosexual stages of developpement and Hazama is still finding joy in it. It's the first fricking stage, next are Anal and Phallic stages, so... yeah... sexual stuff overall but I think oral is still the most innocent one. T^T)

(I know this is silly and rushed, I thought the tie eating art I reblogued recently was so silly, I had to draw this. Yum yum! Justice for still finding joy in the oral stage! Thx for the 'kink' representation arc sys kfjskwjdbw *bite on blanket*)

Posting a old sketch from 2018 of the resident Cat Dad! Happy Birthday Jubei! His birthday is the day after my dad's was, so he holds a special place in my heart ;v; At some point, I'll redraw this ol' furball.

My pet idea for the next guilty gear game is like a soft reset, or a guilty gear 3: the new generation if you will, where some time has passed in the story and the new main characters are Sin and Unica, with Sol and Ky not in it (at least not main characters in the base roster), and a cast of nearly all new characters (apart from a couple of unique and popular playstyles that would be hard to just make a new character for (Faust and Eddie/Zato mainly))

New characters I'd like to see include a new character from Zepp (and confirmation that it is indeed now a socialist republic), a new generation of Jellyfish Pirates with May taking on Johnny's role as captain, Charlotte to be playable this time instead of Slayer (with trailer fakeout where slayer goes for the bite at the start but gets pushed away for Charlotte to have a fight for a change), and a new good Chinese character that can act as an apology for everything about Jam

Trinity I drew from memory the other day~

[despair-tea]

passed an important milestone in Blazblue today

[hecatialapis-lazuli]

skipping day 3 bc I haven't actually played/read any side material yet :( Anyways had to capture the awe that Awakening the Chaos inspires. Hearing it all through CT was always incredible, though I don't think I got too many routes where Nu was the boss when I played it.

Fun fact: you can play AtC on a groove coaster arcade machine and I have done so! The added note sound effects don't take away from it at all :) still salty about being only one note off of an FC.

So uh, got a random request from a moot to draw Taro Sasaga'e awhile back. B E T. His hair was a pain but he's cute and has a fun design/ Wanted to do a limited pallet. Wish I knew more about him and that part of the BlazBlue series hhhhh

I missed Valentine's Day! Take this page of doodly ship art as compensation.

I'm writing a fic (SFW) about Hazama and Rachel at the moment, because I almost paired them together in that one fic, AND because in my Tomodachi life save files, they ended up together, which made me cackle. (They had a kid and shit.)

Oh, well, there's a lot of things that made me ship them... well, semi-platonically ship them... their relationship is a bit weird, ngl.

PS: These are my two fav Blazblue characters. I still can't believe they share the same game.

kazuma's dislike not being listed in his profile because he actually has too many is like simultaneously the funniest thing ever and a bit of characterisation that makes me feel like I've been punched in the ribs. like the implicit dissatisfaction he feels with every facet of his life and experience is insane. going through life sometimes not even aware that he can't find it in himself to enjoy it. always thinking that something more will come when he gets his memory back or tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow... but he can't just look around him. he can't just take his life as it is.
