Okami x Kamen Rider Ex-aid Bugvisor Rider.

Basically I had idea for a Bugvisor kamen rider with the Okami HD gashat, but that evolved into a Bugvisor that isn't an actual bugvisor, but the literal history and world of Okami HD as a Bugvisor shaped tool, and the Okami HD gashat is a specialized gashat that acts as a key for the transformation. Think a bugvisor thats white with red detailing like all the Gods in the game, and the chainsaw part is a point of a paint brush, and the blast is slightly modded to look like a bow. The rider name would be, Kamen Rider Hitogami(literally, human-god), and would be a white and red Ex-aid rider, with wolf Ear traits and pure white goggles, along with the respective main weapon on the back(where the face from level 1 would be, so whatever weapon you have set as the main weapon) and the long coat skirt thing with beads trimming it(could be the divine beads or whatever weapon beads you choose and set as secondary weapon). You'd have a limited Pause, based on the freeze frame used with the Celestial Brush, which now is a Sword based on both a paint brush(ink on tip being transparent red plastic that lights up), and the sword you get from beating Orochi. Also an actual inventory with items from game.

Maybe the suit is a somewhat remodeled Ex-aid Vr Gamer suit, like the circuit patterns are now Crimson brush strokes, the upper body armor has the chest thing replaced with a mostly normal Rider chest screen, but actually replaced with Okami HD styled stats and hp bars and format. The head set would be a remodeled part meant to resemble Amaterasu design traits, but the back of the head would have a male warrior cut ponytail thing, but its Issun! Making him apart of the head armor would work with how he's usually on Ammy's head!

This may be our last chance.

I finally finished the game a few days ago. I cried.

So it seems fitting to put this piece out (I did this a while ago) of the introduction cutscene when opening the game. It's a classic after all.

I also tossed in the iconic scene where everyone puts their weapons down, but with everyone actually putting their weapons down. Why does it have to be just Tidus, Wakka, and Yuna? Let everyone toss their gear on there too.

Yingxing Appreciation 🎉🎉

hi, hello, it's Yingxing appreciation time and I'm dragging you into it bc he is my baby and I need more ppl to talk about him

Y'know I see a lot of people like in awe and hyping up DF and just giving him tons of appreciation while analyzing him specifically as an individual which is all so so valid, DF is amazing and very intriguing as a character and I love him sm, but I sadly don't see the same for Yingxing despite him I think also being so interesting. I also see him more so dismissed in the "literally God and some guy" kind of fashion sometimes

So I'm here to rant just a little bit about Yingxing, why I love him, why he's epic and why he ruins my day every single time I think about him! This is for any of my fellow Yingxing lovers who are also starved of any content of him

Firstly, this man is a genuine genius, like lest we forget this is from Baiheng's travelogue in which she met a young Yingxing who was still a child by this point.

He was a young boy but had already become a craftsman, a sign of his ability to learn exceedingly quick under Huaiyans tutelage. And his ability to work and progress incredible fast continues into his time as a young man on the Luofu.

We know he arrived probably somewhere around 18-21 (in my personal estimate) and by the time he saw Jingliu again (which itself was likely early into his stay on the Luofu given HCQ ages and timing), he had already impressed the Master Craftsmen of the Luofu's Artisanship Commission and earned himself a title.

There are also multiple things in game that emphasize his achievements and creations he crafted, some offhandedly mentioned in a readable or item while others are emphasized with importance.

Casually mentioned in the Discarded Ingenium Parts is his feat in the Great Trial of the Furnace (perhaps that trial is for gaining the furnace master title? Once again signifying an earlier achievement in his legacy) where it took him only a day and night to create a whole mechanical lion that moved and looked just like a real live lion from a bunch of defective parts and waste.

More recently in 1.5, they released a readable, the Ten-Lords Criminal Directory, which mentions an imprisonment method designed by Yingxing that keeps “Mirage” in a perpetual state trapped within a hallucination of their own making. Utilizing it’s own powers in order to keep it imprisoned. Something that with proper maintenance seems to have lasted for around 700 years so far.

And of course, how can we forget his most famous creations

The beautifully crafted weapons of the High Cloud Quintet, from Jingliu’s incredibly heavy sword remarked as being as heavy as three thousand catties, to Dan Feng’s Cloud Piercer with the ability to even cut through dragon scales, and the Devastator Glaive as well as Baiheng’s recurve bow. Each impressive in their own ways and seemingly crafted pretty early as well into his time on the Luofu with the HCQ given the distinction of Jing Yuan who (even if he likely was more a teen than a boy) still wasn’t an exact adult yet. So once again, let me emphasize this man’s skill here. With how many things he managed to do so so early into his time on the Luofu. A genius craftsman who deserved all of the praise he had garnered with his works.

Additionally, I know they keep harping about “ugh arrogant craftsman, ugh he’s so full of himself” but every single time we’ve seen his personality, he just seems like a genuine joy to be around. Bright, charismatic, sure he’s cocky but he also gives the impression of being incredibly fun and a bit silly if you ask me.

His behavior as mirrored by the mirage echo in Scalegorge Waterscape is distinctly playful even in what might be a more tense situation, lightly bantering with Dan Feng and even chuckling in certain languages.

In Jingliu’s character stories, it even furthers this bright, playful attitude he gives off with his distinct cheekiness shining through especially with that “toothy grin” of his. And if you listen to Jingliu’s (at least her English) voice lines during Clouds Leave No Trace when she speaks about Yingxing before getting into his transformation, there is a distinct fondness or amusement in her voice as she speaks of him especially that cocky nature of his despite her distaste for it at first.

While Baiheng is hailed as this kind figure in the High Cloud Quintet, perhaps their sun even casting light upon them, it doesn’t seem too far off to say Yingxing was a shining star among them in his own right. His easy going nature with them bringing about a bubbly playfulness similar to Baiheng given their closeness from when he was young. I could go into way more especially in regards to the casualness at which Yingxing seems to speak and treat others allowing for a more equal formation of relationships especially with Dan Feng but I’m saving that for another rant.

And all of this about him especially how expressive he seems at certain points he’s been mentioned, really just makes me so incredibly sad when thinking about Blade now. How severely separated he is from this identity. A division that exists from not only his death but from the way his mental state has been severely warped from his time with Jingliu and being affected afterwards by the mara.

The sheer dehumanization and lack of a personal identity in place of seeing himself as a solely a weapon when put next to Yingxing, with such a clear bold individual identity, really makes the transformation of one into the other all the more jarring and tragic. Especially with the emphasis on how Yingxing hated the abominations of Abundance only to become one himself, something that is still implied to have not been by his own hand. Blade is an immensely tragic character, but that tragedy only holds weight because of the life and identity Yingxing had. It is only with Yingxing’s light which shined despite the circumstances of his life that his descent into darkness hits harder, and it makes me so sad that I haven’t found many others talking or expanding upon this despite my searches because he really is such a well written character with so many details in his story that are both interesting and utterly heartbreaking.

And additionally, I want to say that I think there is a lost potential in examining the Xianzhou through Yingxing. Specifically in the way he is treated as a short life species. We know how the relationship between the Vidyadhara and the Natives, especially as it’s changed after Dan Feng, but there is a very interesting relationship to be explored between the Xianzhou and the Short Life Species the end up there, especially through Yingxing’s relationship to the different Artisans guilds whether on the Luofu or the Zhuming.

In the end, it becomes another sad element to Yingxing’s story. Yingxing managed to change his attitude regarding how the Zhuming masters treated him and even grew more of a confidence, but even in the Luofu's Artisanship Commission, he can never truly get as far as he deserves. Just as Jingliu says

Even with his work impressing the master craftsmen of the Luofu, even after more than showing his skill and earning the title of Furnace Master for that skill, he still would be denied higher positions and could only prove his true worth by the High Cloud Quintet.

And just let me say it again, him being a short life species allows for such an interesting examination of the world and people around him based upon that. While we don't know exactly how they met, we do know that Yingxing was Huaiyan's personal disciple and the only one he mentions of the celestial masters to treat him with respect and believe in his capabilities despite knowing he's a short life species. Through his treatment of Yingxing, we learn quite a bit about him. Through Baiheng's treatment of him as well, we learn a lot about her, more than anywhere else.

He's just UGH I need more exploration from Yingxing's perspective, the lack of it feels as if I'm being starved. He's so interesting, he's so fun, he's incredibly tragic, and he makes me cry every single time he crosses my mind. Please do yourselves a favor and think more about his character so you'll end up as sad about him as me. Or don't maybe. I dunno. All I know for sure is that you absolutely need to read Views of the Universe From a Starskiff: The Zhuming if you haven't. Anyways bye, thanks for listening to this rant, I gotta go cry over him.

i like to believe that during the time where Gavus and Eugene were giving Liberta & Lucilla their magic to help heal the twins, they swapped children from time to time and that has the kids be (in magic hijinks fashion) biologically related to them

and it’s why Lucilla has full heterochromia (Gavus) but a red eye (Eugene) and why Liberta had yellow highlights in his eyes as a baby (Eugene , who also had yellow highlights in his eyes), they’re both a little bit Celestial and Hypogean respectively

and on a more heartbreaking note, Liberta doesn’t have these eye highlights anymore when he’s older so I have to question on if Liberta was purged of all things Hypogean in his dna and magic due to Celestials despising Hypogeans to that level of nonsense

Y'all asked for him!!! Candy is back!!!

...even though not a lot has changed. He just has some new bling.

For those new: Candy Corn Vampire is the Sixth Celestial, a self-made Lord of Mirrors, trans man, on-and-off husband to Deathly Toll Bells, alien sugar-consuming vampire who rarely drinks blood, extremely extroverted, lover of trashy romance sitcoms, causer of migraines, yada yada yada he has a lot going on. All you need to know is that he is a wildcard of abilities that include (1) being able to transverse into the mirror world (2) reflectivity (3) bulletproof and impervious to most causes of physical harm (4) telepathy and (5) laser projectiles. He also mentors Scarlet Frost and is a very helpful teacher to her.
