I really need ppl to understand 99% of the reason why Rulie's portrayed the way he is in fanfics is a combination of two factors:

1.) Jojo actively encouraged the fandom to write fanfic long before she even decided to make an actual long-form comic of her own.

2.) During this time period, & for quite a while after that, the majority of what the fandom had to work off of for Rulie's personality is from this doodle page, & this description for his personality literally straight frm Jojo herself.

... 2.5.) It should also be noted Jojo hadn't played Adventure Of Link until about halfway through the Sunset arc, as evidenced by this post (we know this is Jojo's sister b/c the official LU tumblr credited her for one of the goofy Sky panels).

Now, since then the way Jojo portrays Rulie didn't change drastically overnight, the Magic Sword comic did happen beforehand for instance... but I do think the level to which Jojo plans to focus on particular traits from Rulie's original design has evolved over the course of development for the comic.

More recent (and, uh, mostly discord-exclusive, so I can't give too many details here) commentary from Jojo indeed emphasizes plans to highlight Rulie's determination above all else, quite contrary to how she used to describe his character (it hasn't changed, probably, it's just a matter of plot-driven emphasis).

Fanfic writers aren't stupid, we're literally just working with what we have-AND, Rulie himself, as a very nuanced & layered character, is going to be portrayed in wildly different manners depending on context & genre.

If you want to see more of Rulie's sassy side,

1.) Read more recent fics (Alas you will likely have to search by recently updated, as the first wave of popular fanfic tends to get enshrined forever at the top of the list when searching by kudos & comments.)

2.) Don't read angst (Sorry not sorry but angst & vent fics are going to make up the majority of works in any fandom, & in these fics a character's vulnerable side tends to get spotlighted. Don’t like don’t read.)

3.) Respectfully Ask for recs instead of barging in & just straight up telling fanfic authors what to do. That's rude.

I've been so attached to the P3 stage plays lately and love Ryomina/Ryoshu with all my heart so I wanted to try my hand at subbing this small clip from Sakuya's Act 5!

Aaaa,, I apologize if some phrases read a bit clunky- I'm not super confident yet since my JP has gotten quite rusty, but I tried my best!!

@glowweek Day 5 FAMILY | FRIENDS

Peridot and specially Lapis do not trust the racoons.

Specifically chose this angle so I don't draw feet. _(:,3」∠)_

Mi own connverse kids Ebony and Rohini are there! And technically Sakura and Zachary. (Please until now I don't know what else to name them. 😭)

And sorry the older Maheswarans aren't there. I don't know where to put them and I already had character overload. 😞

Hibiscus print on Bismuth's shirt is from ManMadeOfGold!

Speaking of shirt, another thing I avoided was thinking of their outfit designs. 😅 It's somewhere a little over a decade of timeskip since SU:Future and I'm sure at least one or two would've reformed during the time. So I'm gonna say they wanted to keep the vibe of a casual outdoors picnic-type event so they wore the casual themes.

Marbit for the ship bingo! :D

Oh Marbit my beloveds

Looking for stuff about them is what got me into this fandom a year ago.

They way Two-Bit and Marcia just click, with the same humor right off the bat, and then suddenly for just a minute they’re not rough greasers with too-long sideburns and switchblades or pristine Soc girls dressed in white who get preyed on by greasers like Dallas. They’re just a couple of people who speak the same language, who have the same quick wit.

Augh, they kill me. Two-Bit usually only goes for blondes, but Marcia’s a brunette and one of “two good-lookin’ girls if I ever saw any.” Two-Bit’s a tough hood, but Marcia jokes with him like they’re old friends. She gives him her number.

And then as soon as they’re apart, they’re back to being a tough hood and a clean Soc. He tears up her number. He must’ve been crazy to ask for it. She drives home with Randy. (She wishes he was more interesting.) The phone doesn’t ring, and why would it? She was so stupid to give a hood her phone number. He probably sweet talks like that to every girl. Her number’s probably just one of so many others, and she’s so dumb for falling for it.

And then Bob is dead. Two-Bit gets jumped by Socs, and there’s a rumble, and Randy doesn’t wanna be a Soc anymore. And maybe Marcia doesn’t either.

Randy goes off to school, grows a beard, buys a VW. Marcia stays in Tulsa. She’s not a Soc anymore. She’s just- she’s just Marcia.

She goes down to the drive-in for old-times sake. There’s a guy there with Cherry’s friend, that Ponykid or something. He’s real familiar. She’s drinking a bit, she’s bolder than usual, she gives him her number and tells him not to lose it this time. And he doesn’t.

I’m an optimist, so I like to think they’ll last. Not without ups and downs, of course. In fact, I think there’s a solid period where they spilt up. But they keep coming back to each other, and Two-Bit works hard to become what he feels she deserves.

Idk, they matter to me. They’re the excitement of sneaking into someone’s house through the window. They’re the fun of telling jokes back and forth. They’re that feeling of looking at someone and seeing they’re thinking what you’re thinking. Their whole world is an inside joke. She’s his uptown girl, he’s her downtown man. They’re just a lot of fun!

Late collab-related post to maintain my motivation:

"I see... Actually, there is a member of Ryuseitai who likes mascots (yuru-chara), so I was curious about that."

"Well, then come visit Phoenix Wonderland! There are many different colored Phenny-kun walking around the park, and you can even shake their hands, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

Midori mention‼️ I remember when I first played prsk I thought it would be interesting if he and Shiho met~ I'd love to see the other characters interact with each other too

(Attempted TL below the cut:)

Chiaki: By the way, when Wonderlands x Showtime was performing on stage yesterday, a mascot was handing out balloons...

Chiaki: Tenma-kun, what was that penguin-like costume all about?

Tsukasa: Ah, that's Phoenix Wonderland's mascot, Phenny-kun.

Tsukasa: This time, the show was requested by Phoenix Wonderland, so I think Phenny-kun was also there.

Chiaki: I see... Actually, there is a member of Ryuseitai who likes mascots (yuru-chara), so I was curious about that.

Tsukasa: Well, then come visit Phoenix Wonderland!

Tsukasa: There are many different colored Phenny-kun walking around the park, and you can even shake their hands, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Chiaki: Oh! If there are many different colors, we might even be able to see Phenny-kun in Ryuseitai colors!

Chiaki: Since we've done hero shows at amusement parks before, there are many members who like it, so let's all go and play together next time!

Tsukasa: Yes! Then I'll suggest a course that will be the most enjoyable for you!

I wanted to try and tl this clip from Sakuya's Act 4 of, featuring the Moonlight Bridge Trio! I appreciate the P3 stage plays so much for giving little extra scenes like this for these three 🥹

[sepublic]

Master of the Mountain is like the thematic inverse to Rise of the Snakes, because you have these visibly non-human, color-coded species based on an Evil Race archetype, who dwell underground. They have their little eccentricities, one of them decides leadership by combat, and they don't get along with each other. This divide is encouraged and exploited by humans in order to prevent a unified uprising, so that these underground dwellers can remain trapped and out of sight, reduced to superstition on the surface.

But MotM recognizes that these underground species are victims, that they are being unjustly hurt and exploited and victimized; It is the human on the surface, obsessed with the appearance of conventional beauty and normalness, who is the true oppressor here. And our protagonists side with these underground tribes, helping them make amends, and granting them great agency in rebelling against those who trapped them.

And I find it interesting because Cole is very much carrying on the legacy of his mother Lilly, who was also a friend and defender of the Munce and Geckles. Her Blades of Deliverance having freaking skulls etched into their hilts. And her father fought alongside the Serpentine, defending them while humanity drove them underground. Cole himself was turned into a Ghost at one point, and was briefly hypnotized by a Serpentine.

Something something. The Brookstone lineage has always been open-minded, welcoming of things that are nonconventional and seem 'scary' on the surface because what is weird, someone who is different, or someone who is different from you? They see the Serpentine, the Munce and the Geckles, and they don't judge nor impose human standards of attractiveness and beauty onto them. They themselves have kinship with 'evil' races, to the point of Cole becoming one of them at a point, and thus reaching out to Yang because he was able to relate. Lou, the ‘outsider’ who marries in, is introduced with an arc about accepting his son for who he is.

Black is a color associated with darkness, death, and evil. But it is also associated with the Masters of Earth. The underground is vilified, hence the Underworld, the Serpentine, the Munce and Geckles; But the Masters of Earth are at home with it. Death is feared but one wields the symbol of the skulls and the other the scythe, and even becomes one of the dead at a point. He fears dragons only to be closer to them than anyone else. The shadows are feared yet ninja find refuge in them, and those who dwell in the earth find much comfort in the darkness already.
