[bees-mobs-mailbox]

Uhh, howdy? Bee has run off to find a buddy of mine, and put me in charge of running this thing? I don't know what's going on anymore. The name is C! I'm one of Bee's... Uh what does it call us.. pawns? What does this do...?

(A live video feed has appeared!)

Oh Gods! Uhhh how do I turn this off? How the hells did I even turn it on?! Oh forget it!

Uhhh, ask me anything I guess? I guess you'll see my live reactions now or until Bee gets back.

Help! i gave myself emotions thinking about the puppy in dogau getting hit with red smoke and doing the sad kick thing and whimpering from the nightmares!

TT_TT

You will be happy to hear that I don't think red smoke acts the same on animals as people! Jude (that's the puppy's name) finds the smell really gross and pungent, and it makes him very anxious, BUT! It does not cause the same hallucinations that it does in humans! He would 100% still die if left in the smoke for too long, but he is not plagued by nightmares!! (I would never do that to a puppy)

So i've never posted anything before but here I go with some god!ghostxreader au(might turn into god!141xreader tbh, i'm a sucker for poly)

Ghost is a long forgotten god, some odd ball mix of luck and war. Though, some say he's also a god of love or lust. Both words had lost their meaning to you, so it didn't matter.

You had been out on a hike and wandered off of the trail. It wasn't anything big. You took this shortcut a lot. It's how you found this little grotto you loved to relax in. Sometimes, you'd just sit there in silence. Other times, you would read or draw. But almost every time, you cleaned this little shrine you found.

It was a small thing, made of mostly wood. It had some red ropes around the doors that swung open. The inside of the doors were decorated with dried flowers and vials of something you couldn't quite recognize. In the center was a small statue, you assumed it was supposed to represent Him, and a small skull mask.

One day, you were in the grotto again. It was nearing autumn, so all the leaves were turning their different colors, creating a soft scene. You had taken up the habit of reading out loud, though trailed off frequently as suspense in your book took place and you were too enrapturd to read aloud. In fact, you were so focused on your book you didn't hear the soft rustling of leaves crunching beneath a foot or the soft glow.

The situation between Kiryu and Majima is mostly just really depressing. But I think you kinda got at a silver lining with Majima ending the game by talking to and spending time with Kiryu in a normal way.

Majima has done everything except be upfront with Kiryu about his feelings. Instead, he does a lot of self-destructive things for Kiryu’s sake that would only devastate Kiryu if he knew the extent of what’s been going on with him (thinking of Kiryu being a mess in 5 over Majima’s “death” and then Majima nearly actually dying for Kiryu’s sake).

Majima just spending time with Kiryu in the hospital and telling him about what he’s been up to probably goes a lot further in making Kiryu happy than if he had actually shown up with a immortal elixir that he put his life at risk to get.

Yeah, looking back I wish I'd taken more time to reflect on the new, more positive development between Majima and Kiryu at the end of the scene, because as depressing as their situation as a whole is, that silver lining is genuinely really significant. I believe it really does show that their relationship is not doomed to depressing hell forever, and that is largely in part to Majima's own growth in this game.

As I touched on in another post, Majima walking away from the viewer to Kiryu’s hospital room parallels very interestingly with how Yakuza 0 ended, when Majima walked away from Makoto. In y0 silences his feelings and walks away, choosing to maintain a physical And emotional distance between them that he carries all the way to yk2 (and that he Does Not Let Go Of, even In his saga in yk2), leaving all of the self-sacrificing and self-destructive gestures but none of the actual fulfillment of the ability to just. Enjoy each others' company when the danger has finally passed.

Meanwhile in pyih you see him walking towards Kiryu in the final seconds of the game, confronting him head-on (with encouragement from Saejima), just to. Talk. No business, no "take care of x for me" no "I'm Depending on your for y", just having a normal conversation like they should've, could've done in yakuza 3, like they could've done in infinite wealth, what I wish they'd done in 5 and what they Definitely didn't do enough of in Gaiden. (And, just like what Majima and Makoto should've done too in yk2, if Majima had actually grown).

Its interesting because Majima, who's all about impulsive and grandiose gestures and actions and the need to die in a way that matters for someone else, technically didn't even "win" with his plans this time, like he did with Makoto. He didn't get to pull off his hundred-millionth self-sacrificing gesture for Kiryu. He didn't get to die valiantly fighting. A giant squid (lmao) or run back to Japan with the treasure that he dug up with his own blood sweat and tears. But he seems. Strangely okay with the aftermath, all things considered (I know I've been sticking to the word "resigned" when describing how he feels in this particular moment all this time but. What I'm getting at is that he's more okay than you may expect, considering the circumstances and the stakes at hand.)

(I want to (very abruptly lol) point out the fact that we've seen this kind of arc with Majima on a smaller scale before. Majima had a lot of the same deal in y0/4, where he pushed himself with the goal to die for Saejima for Years before his release from prison and was ready to go through with it the day of. However, this ended up being another situation where he "didn't win." What he got by the end of it wasn't Saejima claiming his title as new Tojo patriarch over his dead body, but rather (after a fight goaded on by Majima himself and some pushing by Saejima) they got to just. Talk things down. And just go back to being the bros they were before that whole mess. And Saejima's been able to be Majima's rock for the rest of the games since.

I just think someone would've benefited a Lot from taking notes. And that someone is Not Saejima.)

Like I kinda-did-kinda-didn't get to at the end of the whale post, I think the most important takeaway for Majima at the end of this game is him learning to not constantly throw himself into the fire for every person he wants to protect. Getting himself killed for Saejima and Kiryu wouldn't have made them happy. Keeping himself away from Makoto didn't make her happy, and now the ship of them being involved in each other's lives has long since sailed.

Keeping himself emotionally distant hasn't helped any of them Once, and this is why it's so important that he tries to cross some of that gap now with what is honestly his worst case of lifelong devotion yet (even if it's in a way that's small, in a way that's arguably insignificant for the emotional rift they have, even if it's just through telling some pirate tale, even if Kiryu might not know the true significance of it all even now. At least its Something. At least they just get to be. People, together. It's much more casual than anything they've had with each other for the past like 5 games, but strangely that casualness is arguably more intimate, after everything that's happened.)

Honestly this decision from Majima aligns perfectly with the admittedly cheesy (but I mean this in a loving way) ending of the main plot of pyih itself; by the end of the adventure Majima seeks not the grand impossible treasure he was originally chasing after but to rather cherish and enjoy the time he spent with the people he has come to care about over the course of the game (the photo). Such simple kinds of wishes are rare for Majima at best, but that's why it's so important he gives himself that now: the ability to just sit down and talk with the people he cherishes. That literally would've saved him so many damn times, I think. I think that's something he's desperately needed with Kiryu especially since Yakuza 3. And I think that those final moments in the last cutscene of pirate yakuza means he'll let himself indulge in it, just a little.

I really just hope that it'll be enough to give him and Kiryu some of that peace and closure that they seem to chronically lack, especially when it comes to each other. I hope it means they really can be happy with each other, just for a little while. Most of all I hope it means Majima can be at least some degree of upfront one day, before it's straight up too late 💥

(tl;dr Yeah, honestly, Majima just sitting down and talking with Kiryu for once means more for himself than killing himself over that eternal life elixir ever could have. He's an old ass man, he should learn to settle down a bit, you know?)

Flipaclip art I guess??? Well you know I've been going through an art style crisis, I'm getting my priorities rn, cause it ESCAPED ME!!! The "kiss kiss etc." title was just because I was supposed to make a comic but I got inconsistent motivation AND THAT SUCKS. (Also it was kinda a point I was trying to make with fics and their quick development)

[skeletonfromthecloset]

Y’ALL!!!!

so i’m re-listening to tma & am currently on MAG 13 (alone) and oh my god. I FORGOT HOW KUCH THE LUKAS FAMILY WERE MENTIONED!!! and it got me thinking about them. so of course i went down the google rabbit hole. and then i was kinda just thinking about the lukases and their involvement with like. the whole tma universe. and the amount of statements about them. and now. now i’m thinking abiut how if jon weren’t in a coma in s4 he probably would have known who peter lukas was and been like “hey man!! fuck off!!” and martin would never have become an avatar of the lonely and gone through all of that and they could have been together sooner with much less misery and i’m just very upset about that. because i think if jon were there and KNEW WHO THE LUKASES WERE!!!!! he would not have like. broken both of his knees idk. ceaselessly watch him via many people surrounding him. trying to become friends with him. trying to ‘cure’ his loneliness.

I at once spurred alongside Raffles, as he rode, bronzed and bearded, with warworn wideawake over eyes grown keen as a hawk’s, and a cutty-pipe sticking straight out from his front teeth. I can see him now, so gaunt and grim and debonair, yet already with much of the nonsense gone out of him, though I thought he only smiled on my misgivings. -The Knees of the Gods

Heart of a Traitor - Peter Pettigrew

What makes the heart of a traitor? Peter Pettigrew should know. It was, after all, the heart beating in his chest, pumping the traitorous blood that kept him alive. Lately, his heart rate has felt less human, more rat-like. He was more rat-like. Years of being Scabbers has taken an obvious toll on him. The Peter Pettigrew that called himself a marauder, studied James’ quidditch moves, gleefully cast aguamenti to wake up Sirius, and snuck down to the kitchens to feed Remus’ never-ending appetite, was scarcely there anymore. Being a Death Eater on the run would do that to you. Now he was constantly twitching, flinching at every movement and loud sound and (possibly worst of all) reduced to acting as a servant of the one and only Severus Snape. Sitting down miserably in his cellar after a long day of being belittled and listening to thinly disguised quips about his dignity and intelligence, he reminisced. Of his long-gone Hogwarts days; days of freedom and laughs and pranks and never-ending homework. Back when he was Pete, one of the marauders, the good guys. Those were easily the happiest times of his life, when things were simple and happiness seemed to be everflowing.
