BET YOU DIDN'T EXPECT ME SO SOON

I did the dessert vampires playlist first since it was the shortest!

Stampede- very good interplay with the characters. Gives the vibe of I respect you but we fundamentally disagree on some big issues. Would be fun to play in the background of like a joint operation scheme? like they've gone undercover at a fancy party and this is them working together during it

Vulture- this is such a Shadow backstory song like- i don't know exactly what happens with GUN and Maria in this au but THIS is the song you play to express his feelings. The first verse at least low-key also sounds like Knuckles during or immediately post transformation to Rouge. He's very angy

Welcome to the Circus- a jaunty little tune. bar/saloon coded, probably plays wherever Amy works i think?

Recommend songs for this playlist: Desperado by Rhianna and maybe the entire Anti album based on vibes alone.

Blood Like Lemonade- strong vibes

Trouble Valerie Broussard- more Rouge centric i think

For other playlists:

Like a Vampire Catrien Maxwell, for vamp au Sonic

A Little Wicked - im thinking of Rouge for it but if it fits a different character i wouldn't be surprised

Little Girl Gone Chinchilla - very vamp au Shadow coded imo

Eve Precious Pepala- Shadow coded

All up in your mind- feels like Shadow thinking about Sonic's effect on him in vamp au

Hope these are good and have a nice timezone 🫶🏽. I go to sleep now

welcome back fhbghbjfdfdg !!

This playlist is a little more tough to explain bc i havent shared the major plotpoint that changes the whole title of the au fjgfjghf, but ill get there eventually !! Stampede- idrk know how to explain this one beyond its just Them, their conflicts their compromises, how the two are trying to work together in the situation theyre in, big time agree on the respect with huge disagreements tho, thats one of their major sticking points Vulture- RAHHHHHHH THIS IS IS KNUCKLES @ SHADOW !!!!! the entire time its knuckles rage and defiance !!! and im slamming my head into a wall so fucking hard i prommy it makes so much sense when i share the plot Welcome to the circus- its a rouge @ knuckles song ! like i said the subject itself is kinda weak but it hits on some of their core dynamic pieces --- Desperado- this one i could see being very rouge @ shadow but its a bit too forward and honest ! rouge would defo more take the angle of "im following you bc ur hopeless without me <3" Blood Like Lemonade- strong vibes on its own but doesnt particularly fit with anyone at least right now, i might come back to it after fleshing more people out (also i am sadly biased against songs that are kinda slow sob. i need that constant stimulation music {i almost didnt include vulture in the playlist bc of its speed but it was just too accurate and picks up with some heavy hitting stuff near the end}) Trouble- very correct w the rouge part !! defo eying this one up in consideration

---

Like a Vampire- defo not vampire au sonic , it actually lines up more with desert vampires rouge (i adore the singers voice btw omg) idk if its going in any of the au playlists but it sure is going in mine ! dfhhdfhg A little wicked- shrug tbh ! i see it for rouge but it feels like its missing something, her spunk, her 4kids saxaphone (im assuming if you dont specify an au you just mean for the canon gamers !) Little Girl Gone- THIS IS SO VAMPIRE AU SHADOWCORE LITTLE UNHINGED BASTARD !!! the blood on my teeth line caught my attention....and then the screaming part sold me HDSHDHF hes sooo silly <333

Eve- im so sorry im really biased against love songs so i dont see it personally !! esp not for shadow </3 All up in your mind- eeh there are a few lines there that work, but overall just misses slightly. big fan of the idea that shadows just making up all those lines tho and sonics never said any of it, thats funny fdgjfjdgfg i feel bad for not enjoying all of them wahh, but i am just really picky tbh,,, its gotta bounce the braincell right... but i appreciate the suggestions sm!!!! tyyy!! have a good sleep !!!

do you. want a grenade rant.. analysis thing.. idk whatever it can be called.. yeah I think you do

Grenade lives in a small apartment, near the edges of New County — there's a balcony, fyi. It's a nice little place — decorated with various types of band posters and such.

As you look around, the first thing that probably catches your eye is the electric guitar — a nice crimson red, pretty shiny and well kept. It stands in the corner of the living room.

The walls are a bluish-grey, slightly dark, while everything else is either black or white. In terms of lighting, usually the overhead lights are on, because the curtains are closed.

I like to think they have a good chunk of merch lying around (specifically of things that they're interested in), like t-shirts and posters.

Clothing style wise, they're into things like downtown and streetwear, not really on the whole formal spectrum of things — I don't think that they hate formal wear, but it just isn't their favourite thing in the world. They will dress for formal events, though.

In the term of foods, I think they'd like things like soup — since most of the time, they seem to have good intent towards others, and come off as warm, just like soup would be. Warm.

thghsats iiitt for nwwos

BRYCE bryce ru ok BRYXW ILY SHAKES YOU….

i love how youre righht about LITERALLY EVERYTHING????? IM NOT KIDDING ALL OF THIS IS CORRECT TO SOME DEGREE /SRS thw only things really is that grenade HATES apartments and they dress differently like every single day theyre crazy theyre weird theyre multifaceted like that but YOURE STILL SO RIGHT??? grgegdgrgev bcuz i really like balconies balconies are so cool i LOVE balconies and being high up and having a view and also yes i like streetwear/downtown I LOVE THEM A LOT I LOVE I LGDJFHFJJD

…soup. mmmmm. i love soup i used to hate it but its grown on me bcuz its the only thing ive had for most of my life EXCEPT FOR CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP. CHICKEN SOUP DNI!!!!!!!!! oh also grenade is a canon picky eater so yeah yay!1!2!2 not yay thats awful but yay&1!2!1!1!1

they definitely would have some merch yeah….guh…i WISH tbh but i am. just an average individual im saving up i can buy shitton of osc and south park merch sadly..thats ok tho ig i dont want it as much as i used too anyway.

yeah grenade would have a guitar lolz :3 i have a feeling it wouldnt be used tho like itd just be there…lyin around collecting dust…they arent all that good at it probably. they would try every so often but you kno. also theyre either chronically online or outside charting or just exploring/loitering sooo….am i projecting too much with this (i used to have some purple electric guitar but i never used it ever and we gave it away) they would probably take care of it tho…cuz…TAKE CARE OF YOUR GUITARS DAMMIT!1!1!1!!1!1

i xant say much about the walls…cuz idrk. i dont really do much to walls. not because i dont care about them, but because im an indecisive person who cannot pick a color and if i so it either wont fit the apartment or ill end up changing my mind later…ill really only change it if im going for something. a certain vibe

holy hell. this was a lot. thank you bryce snjdkdjsjd ily…you are a GENIUS i dont get how you psychoanalyze characters like this

6, 7, 24. God all of these are sooo good

HEHEH THANKIES

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

ok im sorry but. Kiamei. do not get me wrong i LOVE kiamei so much and theyre extremely important to me [tho i Will admit im more of a nanahua + elymei person] but kiamei onlys are SO annoying istg. they feel so threatened and for what. LIKE BRO IM LITERALLY MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS!! I DONT DISLIKE KIAMEI!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE.

i dont think ive seen any different honkai pairing [other than like. ottokallen but tbh i havent even ran into those people too much] that would have a fanbase as dedicated to hating people for not shipping what they like as kiamei fans are. of course im generalizing and i know a lot of Very Chill kiamei fans bc, lets be honest, its one of [if not The] most popular pairing in the fanbase but ive also seen a lot of nasty ones.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

answered here! this is one of my most correct takes ever and i will forever stand by that

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

honestly speaking ive been doing my best to avoid the Worst areas of the fandom so idrk if theres anything Particularly bad going on rn but for me personally. probs just Everything to do with part 2

which is. a pretty complicated issue and i dont really have a set opinion on it all. rn im actually Quite Optimistic as the new story has been pretty fun [tho admittedly not Lifechanging, but neither was ch1 of part 1 so im not judging based on that] and the open world isnt making my computer burn. an option to replay stuff Would be quite nice tho.

as i suspected, part 2 is a well made piece of art from a very technical standpoint but it doesnt have the Honkai Feel to it yannow. much more star rail coded in terms of vibes. BUT AS I SAID nothing is Over yet and im very much giving it a chance bc i have been having fun with it. i love helia she has literally nothing going on for her but she charmed me

Considering the Mixed thoughts on the 2nd Half BMA, how would you have written it?

im gonna put this under a read more bc i have a lot of thoughts on this and ive never talked abt them before so i have a lot to say.

tbh the problem i have with the 2nd half of bna is that it doesn’t really do any of the things the 1st half set up for it to do? idk, like, i know a lot of people say it feels rushed, but i think it only feels rushed because (rather than complete the plot points they established in eps 1-6) the 2nd half of the show introduces an entirely different unrelated plot that really needed an entire season rather than half of one.

(bc there’s been no announcement for s2 and we have no reason to believe there’ll be one, im critiquing this as though the show’s over btw. also i’ll be calling the 1st half of the season “pt.1″ and the 2nd “pt.2″ from here on, just bc it’s easier).

one of the worst parts about pt.2 is definitely the entire alan situation. the big reveal that he’s a beastman was awful: most of pt.1 had been about how beastmen were being oppressed by humans and pt.2 completely dropping that plot line then going on to make the main oppressor in the show a member of the minority he was oppressing was... not a great look. it’s complicated, because there definitely is something to be said about “pick me” minorities, who would rather fit in with their oppressors than stand up for the people in their own community, but bna wasn’t trying to do that. even if they were trying to do that, because alan is the only villain (except maybe boris?), it creates a narrative that minorities are responsible for their own oppression. which is obviously not correct and could have been avoided if a) alan was a human or b) there were other human villains (and if they went down that route, i’d probably do it where alan is working with/for the humans and think’s because of that he’ll be safe, but they end of betraying him and treating him like they do the other beastmen when they don’t need him anymore). 

and it wasn’t even good storytelling, the reveal came out of nowhere, there was no buildup or foreshadowing or anything (there’s a difference between an unexpected plot twist and something that just doesn’t make sense) and it ruined all the “humans vs beastmen” conflict that pt.1 had set up without solving it or even acknowledging it at all. also, i didn’t think this had to be said, but introducing blood purity in the last 5 minutes of your show as a “funky little plot twist” is the worst thing ever??? wtf?????

also this post talks abt alan being in a giant robotic wolf for his fight with shirou which i think is a really cool idea.

honestly, the main plot point that gets dropped after pt.1 is the “human vs beastmen” thing (which is especially weird considering it’s like the whole focus of the first 4 or 5 episodes??? like. the entire show happens because of it? michiru goes to anima city bc of it, michiru meets shirou because of it, she befriends nina because of it, nazuna and the church of the silver wolf go to anima city because of it. like.. for all of pt.1, the entire plot revolves around the oppression of beastmen by humans then in pt.2 it’s only mentioned like once??). the only time it’s mentioned in pt.2 is when mayor rose gets trapped by the humans (and even that is brushed off as nothing). 

i think there should’ve been more time spent with humans: in ep1 they’re literally trying to kill michiru, in ep4 they lock nina in a fish tank and almost drown her, in ep1 they show clips of anti-beastmen riots and even the fact that anima city exists? obviously it’s supposed to be a safe place for beastmen but a) just separating humans and beastmen isn’t going to solve the problem and b) 😐 u know the humans’ probably only agreed to that so they wouldn’t have to interact with beastmen anymore. we’re shown beastmen being murdered and abused by humans on multiple occasions and the only “solution” we’re given in the end is nazuna becoming an idol and? ending violence against minorities by singing songs? (not even political songs). it just feels really disjointed that pt.1 is all about racism then in pt.2 it’s completely forgotten about for the sake of nirvasyl syndrome.

to be honest, i’d like to get rid of nirvasyl syndrome all together but it’s pretty important to most of pt.2, so i’d probably just change the way it’s executed. rather than give the minority characters a gene that turns them into bloodthirsty killing machines, i’d have sylvasta pharmaceuticals be involved with it. maybe when beastmen go to their hospital (considering it’s the biggest one in anime city, it’s safe to assume most if not all beastmen have been to it at least once), they’re given an injection that gives them nirvasyl syndrome (the capability to have it - they’d still have to get really angry or upset for it to kick in like in canon). or maybe the human government are involved with it somehow? idrk

tbh, i’d leave everything up until episode 9 the same, then i’d change nirvasyl syndrome to be a disease beastmen were unknowingly given by sylvasta pharmaceuticals (so everything with nazuna’s concert and shirou’s howl could still happen) and i’d make alan a human and give him a giant robot for his fight with shirou.

i’d also continue the humans mistreating beastmen plotline past episode 6 (human alan/sylvasta being responsible for nirvasyl obviously ties into that). becuase it’s only 12 episodes it would probably have to end in a “things are just starting to get better but we have hope for the future” type thing - maybe with getting rid of anima city?

i’d change it so anima city is marketed as a euptopia for beastmen to convince them to go, but once they get there they realise it isn’t as great as they thought (which is kinda canon already). although they’re safe from humans, they can’t leave and they’re not even completely safe (like in ep1 when those beastmen working for humans destroy the festival) (and the way they can’t even use phones to contact the rest of the world? u wouldn’t have to do much to make it feel like a prison).

near the end of the show, the human government starts betraying mayor rose and, even before that, it hasn’t been helping anima city out (sylvasta gives the city enough money to run), so i’d end the show with the beastmen breaking out of anima city to confront the humans and demand they be allowed back into the rest of society (which even adds the opportunity for a second season).

after sylvasta gave the beastmen nirvasyl, mayor rose realised that if they aren’t even safe in anima city, there’s no point being trapped in there (i’d probably add an episode or have the nirvasyl incident happen a little earlier/end faster tho, so there’s time for them leaving anima city to not be rushed)
