i am a little embarrassed to say i didn’t pay much attention to stage posse but still!!!!!:
stage ramuda is an entire menace lmao
like both the anime and stage’s takes on ramuda is a cutesy snarky young man who will tear everything and everyone down when provoked in a certain manner and it’s valid!!!!! doesn’t mean i particularly care for it tho lol
i love track 4 tho for showing off ramuda’s ability to manipulate and even tho he’s the antagonist of that play, he was provoked by jakurai so if you ask me, sensei was the true antagonist of that track and that’s the sort of writing that makes the stage so interesting lmao
there was a flavour of falseness sekoguchi-san’s ramuda had, like a deep seated mask over his emotions and interactions and it SLAPPED he played ramuda’s early self conflicts very well
i don’t listen to stage posse’s first songs at all anymore (i esp despise trap of fling gomen lol) but there was a time i’d listen to stage songs with yasui-san’s ramuda and get sad it didn’t hit the same as sekoguchi-san’s lol
now it’s not a problem lol yasui-san has a wonderful ramuda as well and it was an easy transition because i think sekoguchi-san and yasui-san have similar takes on ramuda
we don’t talk about stage gentaro’s first actor lol but he played a very fruity gencha and i always appreciate that lol
sakata-san’s gentaro i felt embraced more of gentaro’s weirdness which i like to see more of in my gentaro LOL
i always think about that final bop2023 encore talk where he pretended to cry bc everything was ending, but it was a just a big ol’ uso desu yo joke, much to his teammates chagrin lol. stage dice must have been still giving him a look or something because gentaro returned his gaze and did this half shrug with a 😌😏 expression that kills me tbh lmao
speaking of stage dice!!!!!!!!!!
*EXPLODES*
takizawa-san……………. takiryo…………….. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……………………………..
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……………………………
when ramuda got recast, it taught me the fear of my faves leaving and i begged that takiryo would never leave the role of dice lmao
his dancing??????????????? FLAWLESS
his rap?????????? FANTASTIC
his face???????? PHEW 😮💨
*collapses* and he’s charming too i always think about this one report i read where he and doshiro’s stage actor iirc were doing a rewatch of sorts of track two, and before it started they were playing asakusa bounce in the bg so takiryo was singing the chorus, ‘SEIYA!!!! SOIYA!!!!!! ASAKUSA!!!!!’
except he was getting the order wrong and kazuya-san had to gently correct him and takiryo fell out of his chair laughing at himself and UGH 😭💛😭💛😭💛😭💛😭💛😭💛
takiryo’s daisu absolutely put the ‘king’ in daisu lol like he was brutally cool
the way yasui-san and sakata-san tended to look towards him and occasionally acted around him like he was their leader helped drive that home too lol
stage dice was insane btw lmao i still can’t believe he said this lol
i think the stage play leaned into a young master kinda dice, to show what kind of upbringing dice came from in absence of the women’s presence in the plays. i think it’s a bit of a disservice to dice personally, but i wasn’t unwilling to see such a side of him explored lol
before fp vs mtc happened, he and byrnes-san tried to fit dice and rio’s relationship in wherever they happened to be together and i *clenches fist* thank them for that lmao

If Lazarus Pit side affects appear in your story, could you tag them on AO3 please? Jason mentioned them in chapter 6. They're a fanon concept that makes me really uncomfortable and I'd appreciate a forewarning.
No worries, that's totally reasonable! (And anyone else with similar feels, let me know! I'll try to be conscious about tagging potential tws but let me know if I miss anything. Off the top of my head, the worst of it is "depictions of toxic parenting" with Jack and Maddie and...uh. whatever bullshit the GiW has going on in the background)
There's not really going to be any of the conventional Lazarus Pit fanon in CiM. The only impact Jason's dip in the corpse juice will have is that it makes the boons Danny unwittingly gave him more pronounced on account of him having a more profound connection to the other side, as it were.
And really, the League of Assassins aren't going to feature that strongly in CiM aside from maybe occasional mentions. Including them would just take the story in a direction I don't intend it to, and as such, Lazarus Pits and their impacts aren't going to feature heavily--if at all--in this fic, fanon interpretations or otherwise.
