think tumblr ate my ask so I'm sending it again sorry if this shows up twice. but i think the difference between Jaye Nothing and Shining is visible in their weapons. Jaye is a kitchen knife (looks scary, is actually just a cooking utensil, is still a capable weapon) Nothing is his fan (a weapon with a lot of history behind it that the untrained eye might think is harmless or even a little silly) and Shining is just a sheathed sword. Idk about Shalem haven't stolen enough theater kid money yet

Oh, Shalem's is the funniest by far because he's out here wielding a shield based on a Gorgoneion of all things.

Gorgoneion were basically depictions of the Gorgon's head on amulets, talismans, shields, and other such utensils, believed to be a magical protective symbol; Athena and Zeus both wore Gorgoneion pendants, for instance.

It's incredibly fitting for Shalem, since it looks incredibly sinister and intimidating, but it is fact a good luck charm, and likely an attempt to shield himself from his backstory.

Granted, his lore states that he's also skilled with daggers; his desertion began when he used his blade to cut the ropes that bound his would-be victim and then giving them the dagger so they could fend for themselves after he let them go.

So, tying this back to your ask:

Jaye's knife is just a regular, high quality kitchen knife. Sharp, but mundane, an excellent metaphor to how others see him versus how he sees himself.

Mr. Nothing's fan is a tragic keepsake as much as it is his weapon. As much as he wants to run away from his past, he carries part of it with him at all times nonetheless, as his beloved master entrusted it to him before her death. This is also an excellent time to remind you that, even though Mr. Nothing is a funny lad who wouldn't hurt a fly if he could help it, he did say that his ultimate objective is to return to his hometown one day and "settle his debts".

Shining's staff is very much her sheathed blade, presumably her weapon of choice from back when she was in the Confessarius. Appropriately enough, it is a past that she'll eventually have to harness again in full, and the blade shall part from the sheath for good when this happens. It is also likely highly conductive as an Arts medium if she can use it as a staff, much like Nearl's mace is simultaneously a blunt weapon and an Arts catalyst.

Shalem, unlike the past two, quite literally discarded his past when he threw away his dagger. Unlike Nothing and Nearl, Shalem has no intention of revisiting the past, in his mind, he's not running away from something he has to inevitably confront like Nothing, or merely delaying the inevitable and waiting for the time to find her own self once more like Shining is, Shalem really wanted to leave everything, everything behind. The fact that as well-trained assassin as him should choose a shield and to be a Defender should be telling enough of how much he viscerally desires to have nothing to do with his past, unlike the others, who cling to at least a part of their past selves to different degrees.

While most of the event's characters graciously accepted Ling's Invitation to Wine, Mr. Nothing instead interpreted it as an Invitation to Whine and has been complaining nonstop about how he, an Absolutely Normal Guy, has gotten caught up in all this Sui nonsense ever since.

The Merchant is my absolute favorite archetype in Arknights right now. I wonder when we're getting a new one...

how about 11, 30, and 59 for any mr. nothing ship(s) of choice for the ask game? kinda a random choice for the prompts but wanted to ask about your more out there/unique rarepairs and didnt know which other ones besides the main ships you were a shooter for, so might as well pull ones for a character from the who is lingering gang

Oh? Much Ado About Nothing? ;D As it happens, I do ship him with Kroos, as a pair of funny bunnies (er, bird and bunny) who are trying so so hard to seem silly and defenseless instead of dangerous and lonely. So then, let's see...

11. "Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?" Hiding their emotions is what they do, baybee! And part of the reason these two work together so well is that they can see through each other's masks and tell if something is off. Half the time if you see them being silly with each other, it's because one of them is upset and the other is subtly helping either calm or distract the other without raising any attention about it. And the other half the time...they're just being silly. Most can't tell! But they can.

30. "Your OTP gets to pick out each other’s outfits; what is each wearing?" Now, assuming that if it were for a formal event they would pick something nice, let's instead consider what they'd pick For Funsies. Mr. Nothing tries to pick out something fun and fashionable for Kroos, drawing on his old knowledge of city streetwear...but his knowledge is very, very out of date. At least Kroos still looks cute in it. Kroos appreciates the classics: She brings him a maid outfit.

59. "Who tops? Who bottoms?" Usually, Kroos is either topping, or power bottoming; either way, she knows what she wants 90% of the time, and Mr. Nothing is happy to give it to her. But sometimes, what she needs is to let go and be as careless as she used to be, during which Ultimate Service Top Mr. Nothing gets to work.

Thanks for sending me these questions! Full list here for more OTP asks!
