#VB asks

[signanothername]

Srry to bother but i was wondering if the villainous brothers au is still ongoing or is currently on Hiatus

Hello!! Not a bother at all <333

And it’s still ongoing! I know it’s been a good chunk of time since i last posted something for it, but it’s mostly cause of other shows holding me by the neck and demanding my attention

But I’m actually still working on it, just on my own pace (which is VERY slow as you can see shhdhdh)

In fact, cause you asked, here are a leo sketch i made a while back that i plan to turn into a comic eventually, and my attempts at a Draxum design that i made very recently actually >:)

okay but like. I just had the weirdest thought about that ‘don’t look I’m naked’ comic. Which is that that’s essentially the same thing Adam and Eve did after they ate the fruit of knowledge of good&evil. So I feel like the theological implications of that could kneecap Gabe if he doesn’t think V1 is a being with free will.

yeah ok. i dunno man. is this anything

((side note. this isn’t necessarily meant to be in-character or story-accurate or take place at any particular point in time, just a way to explore some Thoughts. i was also imagining more that V1’s words aren't actually spoken, more like Gabriel’s more articulate interpretation of whatever garbled mechanical noise V1 is using to communicate. I think an angel could do that.))

and then they fucked nasty the end

Over Rad Squad happened so long ago but I'm still not over how much of Kohane's arc is about love.

It takes her 3 events to fully connect to Vivid Street and she does it through the love for music they share. And that love helps her realise that Vivid Street is also stuck, also scared of taking that first step, like she used to.

She's blowing up the wall for Vivid Street too.

So if Kohane is the only one who could blow up that wall— that means the only one who could ever save Vivid Street was Kohane.

kind of random, but i heard the recent vbs event's story was really badly paced. i want your opinion on it though since you're essentially the ceo of vbs fans to me. feel free to not answer this if you don't want to tho

i'm on 50/50 w this, i've read the newest event and 50 of me says Yes it does feel rushed because their goal is to surpass RW and now that it's done .. what are they supposed to do?

i get that they have newer goals this time, to "take over the world", but it feels like .. something to put into the plot holes (?) like they just made that up on the spot. because throughout the entire vbs focuses events so far, it's always about surpassing RW and nothing more, it's a legendary event where musicians gather around to honor the death of nagi kotaki

the other 50 of me say that The execution was good, so far the best event i've read, it's got good lines, good pacing, and a good amount of references to previous events and other stuff. the background sounds this time was really awesome too, ULTRA C is super good too

it's a good event, they executed it well, but i wished colopale never rushed this dream with vbs ): it makes it seem that they wanna get rid of them but hbfhf i don't knowww maybe it's just me

🎤 day 183 🎵

➥ akito punch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

➥ this is from my vbs in twewy au! more info + alt versions under cut ➘

➥ this outfit design is kinda just a combo of both his unit outfits. since kohane would have a pretty different appearance in this au, i designed costumes for all of vbs

[tom-is-online]

ruitoya,

legit the only thing i can think about when i think of both of them, peak event

[sana5353]

Can I request Rui, Akito, and/or Tsukasa please? Thank you, have a wonderful day!

i did detective au, i hope that’s fine!

imagine that akito is a new detective and he’s assigned to rui & tsukasa’s team to solve a case and he’s just so annoyed by them lmao… also, rui would be a spy and make things more difficult for him lol 😌

i think the most important thing in the world is vbs being best friends who love each other so much and are super affectionate with each other like. listen to me:

- when toya hugs kohane he'll pick her up a tiny bit (a tiny bit is all he can manage. noodle arms) and she squeals with delight every time

- toya just really likes hugs in general. it's suuuuper common for him to just come up behind akito or an or kohane and wrap his arms around them and lean his head against theirs. hello and goodbye hugs with him always last a good 20 seconds because he won't let go sdjfjsnfkd

- kohane loooooves to tuck her hand in the crooks of her teammates' elbows while they're walking together. this way she won't get lost <3 sometimes she'll hold onto like, akito's elbow with one hand and an's with the other. it's very cute. and as vbs has grown closer, she's started to switch to hand holding. (don't tell anyone but akito's her favorite to hold hands with because he swings their arms as they walk and it's cute)

- also, kohane's hair tends to be messy because of her damn hats and this bugs akito so he spends a lot of time fussing over it. he'll just sort of...tug her closer and take out the pigtails and comb through it with his fingers. at some point she starts packing a brush in her bag to placate him. i like to think akito knows how to do hair because ena will sometimes make him do hers so after a while he stops just rebrushing kohane's hair and starts pulling it up in different ways... braiding it... etc... and he starts keeping things like hairspray in His bag. yknow. jic

- the hairstyling extravaganza extends to an and toya too. (i mean there's only so much akito can do with toya but he tries...) it's a calming thing for him - fiddling with his teammates' hair as they plan setlists or wait backstage. and having your hair played with is always nice <3

- i think shortly after teaming up an started giving kohane little kisses on the cheek. not as a romantic gesture - just simple affection! and after a while, she starts kissing toya and akito too. toya is always happy to lean down so she can pepper his face with little platonic kisses, but she usually has to wrestle akito. it's all in good fun and he'll always relent and let her kiss him in the end

- speaking of platonic kisses, i ALSO think that akito gives toya little kisses from time to time. it started back when they were still BAD DOGS. toya wasn't having a great time one night and after soothing him with a good sturdy hug, akito kissed the top of his head. it completely floored toya and akito blew up when he realized what he did. and they never fucking talked about it <3 but since toya didn't seem MAD about it, akito decided to stick with it and kept giving toya kisses like that. it's not common, and he ONLY does it when they're alone. except for when they make up after their little divorce arc in the main story. IGNORE the gunjo sanka mv and listen to me. they HUG after their heart to heart. and akito kisses toya's cheek. right around where he punched him

- but an's overaffectionate nature kind of rubs off on akito after a while. so he becomes less stingy when it comes to kisses and starts giving them to kohane and an too <3

- they lean against each other while sitting like kohane might cuddle into toya's side or an goes and lays her head on akito's shoulder

- and they have sleepovers and they fall asleep comfortably tangled up together (or not comfortably. at all. seriously cuddling while sleeping can get so uncomfy but it's worth it to be so close to someone you love). ken's taken quite a few adorable (and sometimes really funny) pictures of all four of them passed out on piles of blankets and futons. just dad things

i could go on forever it's just. platonic affection is so important to me and it's so frequently Ignored in fandom spaces. and in the case of vbs and the prsk fandom specifically, there's a tendency to separate vbs into akitoya VS anhane. which is so 💔 because the whole POINT of their story is that while they started off as separate duos, that's no longer the case! they've become such good friends. they're inseparable.

like even jokes about akito and an being "wlw and mlm hostility" are starting to wear on me because... they're friends, guys. they're incredibly close. akito is always looking out for an and is right by her side to support her through all the shit she's currently struggling with. there's no "hostility" present in their relationship. like, if you actually look at the game's text, an... rarely teases akito. the person who teases him the most is actually toya but you know... whatever... gotta reduce an down to a mean lesbian amirite... completely ignoring that she's one of the kindest characters in the whole game...

idk. i juuuuuust wish that this fandom wasn't so defensive and obsessive over shipping akitoya and anhane (mostly akitoya while anhane is a second thought but YOU KNOW) because it results in so many people watering down vbs as individuals And as pairs - because all they care about is shipping. like i promise that the other dynamics in vbs are worth exploring (both platonicallyand romantically but too much of this fandom still feels threatened by m/f vbs ships). and hell, explore akitoya and anhane on a platonic level, too! don't just jump to shipping them because teehee boyxboy and girlxgirl. take the time to understand what draws them together in the first place

i love friendship. i love when friends outwardly express their affection for each other and it doesn't have to have any romantic implications. can we talk about friendship for once like this game is literally The Ultimate Friendship Simulator feat. Hatsune Miku
