so fuckin deep into my soul eater fixation again … been rewatching it and the relationships between meister and weapon are SO good if you think about it with redacted terms too
tempted to make a whole au concept… AUGH
all im sayin’ is freelancer would totally be a meister with compatible wavelength for each of the damn boys (they’re all unique weapons) (it’s like having a weapon rack) (but they’re your friends)

Unoriginal thought of the day, a first words leverage ot3 soulmate au is especially fascinating when you think that the non-Nate crew all technically met for the first time during the roshamon job. So you've got an absolute cocktail of reasons that they wouldn't notice, or wouldn't do anything about, meeting their soulmates because they're all working. It would only be in hindsight that they would realize and try to piece it together and as we see their memory is fallible. Not to mention you've got three criminals assuming they're soumates with civilians, even if they did remember fresh off the job, it would be a liability. Then years later and you're sitting in a bar with people you connect with on a level you've never connected with anybody before; talking about the one job that got botched and listening to everyone speak, hearing these familiar moments, you realize that they were there to. How would they react, how closely to the chest do you play it when it's your turn to speak or as they're laying their story out for you.

in a drama that pays SO much attention to and is deliberate about giving each character a very distinct silhouette, it has been driving me absolutely fucking insane for several weeks now that some of jiao liqiao's outfits are cut like li xiangyi and li lianhua's robes.
you can see the visual similarities between jiao liqiao's most-worn outfit and li xiangyi in the general form of the robes, but particularly in the drape of the sleeves and where they fall open at the shoulders (sorry, i don't know the technical term). it's harder to see here but both outfits also have bracers that match the robes in a very integrated way and colour-wise, with the same fitting to the sleeves.
here, if not for the colours and material of jiao liqiao's outer layer, this would be something li lianhua would wear. the fit of these robes are the same. the pleats at the lapels even match. jiao liqiao is visually paralleled with li xiangyi and li lianhua, mirroring the man she's forever seen as competition for di feisheng. it's as though in truly every way, she's trying to replace him. maybe if she tries hard enough, di feisheng will finally look at her for once.
i mean hell, think about how even more interesting this scene gets— jiao liqiao's "i'm the victor in this game of love" moment— once you realize she's taunting li lianhua about having a place beside di feisheng while emulating the image of li xiangyi, the man di feisheng cannot leave behind. ("maybe you could still have had him now if you'd stayed like this. if you hadn't become what you are now. it's too bad i stepped in all those years ago, and so you're in this state, isn't it? i've won, li xiangyi.") mysterious lotus casebook already did a stellar job in everything else in establishing jiao liqiao and li lianhua as rivals for di feisheng, but this visual aspect just elevates some of these character interactions throughout the show.
