if these are closed it’s fine but can you do Lang for the character analysis?

Nah, man, I’m always happy to ramble about these characters when I have the time.

I’m just going to come right out and say it, Lang was done so dirty by these games. Like I know I complain about how they handled Athena, but at least Athena takes a central role in DD and is present throughout SoJ. Lang plays a major role in THREE cases total, over two games! And that’s it! Like you can’t do this to me, you can’t present me with this fun, interesting character and give him nothing to do most of the time! It’s not fair!

But here’s the thing: despite that, Lang is memorable as hell. Like, he’s not given nearly enough time to shine, but he shines on anyway, because he’s Shi-Long Lang and he’s that fucking great. Lang is far and away one of the best parts of AAI, aside from maybe Kay. Everyone I know who’s played these games enjoyed the hell out of Lang for the short ride he was there for. He’s great, and he’s frustrating, and he has a kickass theme song, even if I’m not crazy about the harmonica version.

Lang as a character is so fun. He’s weird as hell, he has this whole wolf motif going on, he’s loud and brash and confident. He’s a really fun rival! Like, he and Miles have great chemistry, in part because I feel like they have so much in common, despite their differences being so pronounced. They’re both very stubborn people, and they both have strong senses of justice. They both care a lot about their jobs, and while they’re not friendly or trusting, once you’re in their good graces, they’re willing to do so much for you. But Lang is absolutely one of those “Act first think later” kind of people, while Miles is a much more careful man. Lang isn’t necessarily stupid, but he is very reckless and doesn’t really have his worldview challenged in any meaningful way until AAI.

And I know I just said he’s not particularly friendly, but that’s not completely true. He’s not friendly to the people outside his ‘pack’ but once you’re in, he’s loyal to a fault. I think it’s probably his greatest strength and greatest weakness. Like, who didn’t watch the scene with him demanding all of his subordinates think of themselves as number one and go “Oh! Okay, he’s actually a pretty cool dude.” And who didn’t feel for him when he was giving it his all to defend Shih-na from accusation. Like, of course what he’s doing and saying is ridiculous nonsense almost all of the time, seeing as he’s a ridiculous nonsense man, but that’s part of the charm! And it’s clear that his ‘pack’ all loves and respects him right back, even if he’s still a bit of a hardass with them. He’s hard working and passionate and cares about the people around him so deeply.

And I love seeing him grow to appreciate Miles’s perspective, and learn to start trusting in him, even if he’s still not sold on trusting prosecutors as a whole. He doesn’t exactly change as a person, he’s still this bizarre wolf man, but there’s still growth there, you know?

And I think that’s why it’s so disappointing that we never really get enough time to really explore him in as much depth as I would like. Honestly, I think part of that is just how Nothing the smuggling ring plot ends up being. It’s supposed to be his main motivation, this hugely important and insurmountable enemy that he’s fighting, but it has nothing to do with Lang’s internal struggles, or with his mistrust of prosecutors and Miles. Like, if you look at other main rivals, their character growth is inherently tied to the main plot of the game. Miles’s growth is tied to the anger, grief, and guilt that’s explored in that final case. Franziska’s growth is tied to her self perception and her views on perfection that get tested in that final case. But Lang’s growth I feel is almost incidental to the main plot. It has nothing to do with the smugglers, in part because most of the smuggler stuff outside of Shih-na is very boring.

We never really go that deeply into why he feels so responsible for the broken economy of Zheng-Fa. It’s his main goal, but it has nothing to do with the rest of the plot. And on one level, we the players can understand the importance of what Lang is trying to do, but I don’t think any of us can connect in a way that makes this struggle meaningful.

And then, as I’ve mentioned before, we never really get time to see how Shih-na’s betrayal affects him. I think that’s more important to his growth as a person than finally taking down the smuggler’s ring, or at least it’s the one that has the clearest implications. Like I said, he’s loyal to a fault, and a betrayal like that could easily be enough to shake the very foundations of who he is.

[Minor aai2 spoilers in this paragraph] Continuing on, we never get to explore how no longer having his men affects him in the sequel. His ties to his men was one of his defining feature, and while we can see that he’s unhappy about it, we never really get the chance to explore why. And then we never get to explore his feelings toward his father or toward Di-Jun Huang. We don’t get much closure with him in the Blaise Debeste situation either. We can see that there’s so much going on just below the surface, but he just sort of fades into the background.

I wish they did more with him in AAI2. I understand why they didn’t, and Justine and Sebastian both were such fantastic characters both as rivals and as characters in general, but Lang could’ve still been relevant! I don’t know how, but he could’ve! I guess I would’ve been happier with him in AAI2 if AAI had featured him throughout, but. Man, I don’t know.

Also, those sunglasses suck? They suck, right? Those are bad sunglasses. Sir, who told you those were good sunglasses? Was it Shih-na? Shih-na, why would you encourage him to wear those sunglasses? I can’t believe they were gunning to have Lang wear those fuckings double eye patches...

Nine Percent Scenarios for @ninepercent._.forever on IG

Cause she chose majority soft pics, so here is a soft group pic of the boys uwu <3

Cai Xukun

Can I just say one more time, silver hair Kunkun is *chefs kiss*

Alright, for this, I’d imagine that Kun was attending your graduation (high school or university, whichever you’d like) and when it was finally your turn to go up and take your paper/medal/diploma, etc; Kun would instantly smile, pointing at you/wave at you when you turn around to face the audience. I would also feel that Kun would brag about you to the people around him (if it’s your parents then he’ll be like ‘she’s so amazing’).

“That’s my girl!! Yeap!! That stunning, breath-taking, kind-hearted, smart girl is mine. You go sweetheart!!”

Chen Linong

OMO LOOK HOW SOFT NONGNONG IS WITH THAT CAT!! I DIE

Alright!! For this one, I feel that you guys are roommates and were heading back when you guys noticed this cat that doesn’t look alright. Nongnong (being the animal lover he is) would go over to the cat and pet it. When Nongnong said that the cat seems to be sick, he would suggest to bring it to the vet; which you agreed, without question.

After getting checked, the vet gave Nongnong a prescription and Nongnong just held the cat in his arms, soothing it and telling it that it’ll be alright. Upon the sight, you just can’t help but die of cuteness and just had to take a picture of him.

“Don’t worry lil guy, I got you. You’re going to be just fine!!” *insert is uwu smile*

Fan Chengcheng

Alright, alright, for this pic of Chengcheng, I feel that he was bored at home and was like “Hey!! (Y/N)!! Let’s go out!! I’m bored” and since you were also just being a couch potato (mind you, a hot couch potato), you were like “ehhh, I don’t see why not”. Especially when Chengcheng is the one picking you up and dropping you back.

So, the two of you went out the whole day. Had brunch together then went to the mall to do some window shopping/actual shopping, whichever one you are. Afterwards, you guys just decided to walk along the streets for a bit before going back home. Along the way, it started to snow and you were mesmerised by it and didn’t noticed that Chengcheng was staring until you turned around to see him (cue the pic).

“Isn’t it pretty Cheng?”

“Sure is” (looks at you)

Justin Huang Minghao

I SWEAR!! JUSTIN CAN LOOK 20+ IN ONE MINUTE AND 16 IN THE NEXT. LIKE HOW?!

Anyways, I imagine that you guys were just hanging out since it was finally winter break. So, Justin decided to celebrate your winter break by inviting you to join him for a little outing. Like, he’s so full of energy, he wants to go out and just move!! So, the two of you were now walking along the park when you started to feel tired from all the walking and decided to take a break by just sitting down on a bench, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of you. When Justin decided to sit next to you and look at you and you were a bit taken aback when he gave you that face (the picture).

“Wh-what are you looking at?”

“You. I never noticed how much your eyes are glowing. It’s pretty. And not to mention your smile. It’s just contagious. I hope that you would smile often from now on”

Lin Yanjun

Alright, I have no idea why she chose this pic of Yanjun. Clearly, you wanted to kill me huh, Aliya? Anyways, we’ll see what scenario I got

For this specific pic, since my dear friend wanted the boys to either be your guy friend/boyfriend, this is what I came up with. You and Yanjun were childhood friends; with Yanjun being like 4-5 years older and was the heir to a company which you decided to apply for. Of course, you still had to go through interviews and everything; Yanjun believes that you can never take the easy way out.

However, the difference between you and your co-workers is that Yanjun would always asks you about your job at the end of the day which he knows that you worked hard since he heard it from your supervisor. Working under Yanjun was tough but he would never give you work that he knows you can’t handle and every now and then he would definitely treat you by taking you to your favourite restaurants/cafes at the weekend.

You have been working so hard and slowly climbed your way and was now Yanjun’s secretary. However, there were definitely some workers that were jealous of that. They’d be like “how can she become his secretary?” “just look at her! She doesn’t even look that good” and many more. But, it never really bothered you since you knew that dealing with those people are just a waste of your time and childish.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. Sure, you tried your best to not care. But when those people started being physical, it was just too hard to handle. You were constantly dozing away and easily distracted that Yanjun himself became worried. He would asked you every now and then but you didn’t tell him, you didn’t want to bother him since he was basically “shouldering” your expenses.

But fear not!! One day, he finally caught the workers red-handed. You were just about to get lunch for both you and Yanjun when the elevator didn’t work and so, you took the stairs. However, those jealous workers caught you, some of them purposely bumped into you, making the food you brought fall onto yourself. But little did they know that Yanjun was passing by since he forgot to handover a document to his management team. At first, Yanjun was already ready to come in and fight. But when he saw that it was you, he didn’t hesitate one bit. He shouted at the workers, scaring them and you.

To say that the workers were scared was an understatement. Nope, they were petrified at this point. Yanjun was walking down the stairs, hands in his pockets and his gaze, colder than ever. He went to your side, asking you if you were alright but all you could do was let out a little hiccup. Noticing your state, Yanjun pulled you into a hug, looking back at the workers and told them that he’ll deal with them later and he hope that they have cleaned their belongings from the office.

“OI!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!”

“Sshhh, are you alright? Is this why you’ve been dozing off lately?”

“J-jun...”

“ *sigh* I’ll deal with all of you later. Oh, and I hope that by the time I call you to my office, all of your belongings are packed”

“Is alright, I got you (Y/N). Please tell me the next time this happens”

“B-but...you just fired them?”

“(Y/N)...you’re too sweet sometimes, you know that? I hope you know that things like this shouldn’t be taken lightly. I care about you, you know. Now c’mon, let’s get you cleaned up and I’ll order some food for us, your favourites, kay?”

HOW DO I WRITE SO LONG FOR HIM?! AND WITH THIS KIND OF SCENARIO!! AGGHHH CURSE MY WRITING

Zhu Zhengting

Mama Ting holding a big fluffy panda?! Welp, time to fly over to visit him (JK)

So, I feel that the two of you were hanging out all day, just a normal day of at your place, cooking, baking and watching TV shows/films all day when suddenly, the sun finally sets and it was night time. Since the both of you were too tired to cook, Zhengting suggested you guys have dinner at a nearby restaurant which of course, in the end, mama Ting paid for everything.

Whilst walking you back home, you both saw this place with a claw machine and you just so happen to see a huge panda in there. Determined to get it, you spent quite a pretty penny on it but failed to grabbed it. However, mama Ting decided to step in and get the doll for you. Which he finally did, after 7 tries.

“Th-the panda...Let me have the panda...please!!”

“Step aside (Y/N), I’ll get it for you!!”

“OMO!! TING!! YOU GOT IT!!”

“I GOT IT!!! Uhh, can I cuddle with it until we reached your home?”

“Is alright, since you got it, it should be yours”

“Eh?! Really?! I’M GOING TO GET TWO NEXT TIME!!”

Wang Ziyi

Can I say, Ziyi, multitasking to a new level man!!

So, for this pic, I thought that it’s been a while since you and Ziyi went out to grab a bite or catch up because he was very busy. However, since it was your birthday, he really didn’t want to cancel anymore plans. So, instead! He just cancelled meetings and all but he still brought a few work with him; works that he can easily finish in a short amount of time. Though he would apologise first-hand that he still had some unfinished business to take care of before you even got a chance to ask him.

“I’m really sorry that I had to bring some work with me today, (Y/N)”

“It’s fine Ziyi. I’m just happy that you even had the time to take me out”

“It’s your birthday. I wouldn’t miss it for anything else. Even though I’m technically somewhat working right now”

“I said it’s fine Ziyi. I’m happy that you’re here to spend the day with me”

“Aishh, you’re too nice (Y/N). Eh, eat up, the food will get cold! I just need to sign a few of these then I’m all yours for the day :)”

Xiao Gui

It’s been a while since I saw a soft Gui but hey!! I aint complaining!!

For Xiaogui, I feel that you finally graduated from university and was on your way back home. Well to be exact you were already back, it’s just that Xiaogui hasn’t had the time to see you. But!! He made it his mission that when he does see you, he would give you a surprise that you would never thought of.

He texted you saying that he had some free time and would like to meet up at the park that you guys used to hang out back in school. But little did you know that when you walked by the park, you saw Xiaogui, sitting on the stairs with a bouquet in his hands, a smile slowly formed on his face the minute you came into his sight.

“Kai (Wang Linkai, yea), wh-what’s all this? Are we going somewhere? OOH!! Is it for a special someone?”

“They sure are. You!”

“That’s...wait?! Me?! Wh-what?!” *cue blushing mess*

“Of course!! Congratulations on finishing your degree!! I’m proud of you (Y/N). Sorry that I have been very busy but, I wanted to do something special since you always send me something special. So, dinner?”

“I’d love to!! Thank you Kai!!”

You Zhangjing

Zhangjing in a suit!! YIKES!!! I NEED TO BREATHE!! PHEW!! OKAY!! ONTO THE SCENARIO!!

So, this is another slightly hard scenario to think of. But, here goes nothing. So, I imagine that you guys decided to have a date night since it has been a while you guys had like an actual proper date night. HECK!! Zhangjing even went all out and booked your favourite restaurant and brought out his suit for crying out loud!! Anyways, the date night, as you’d expect, was lovely. Zhangjing made sure that you get whatever food/drink you’d like then of course, Zhangjing being the responsible gentleman he is, brought you home. However, on you way back, you guys saw this bush with roses on them. And you know what Zhangjing did?

“Hey (Y/N)!!”

“Hmm? What is it Zhangjing?”

“Roses are red, violets are blue. I may not be able to rhyme but there is nothing prettier than you”

“OMG ZHANGJING!! STAWWPP!! Or more like, stop asking Yanjun for pick up lines for crying out loud!!”
