#so here is the last set of him as kisaki in tokrev

[mamiya-shotaro]

“As of today, this is Tokyo Manji Gang’s territory.”

[gratuiciel]

(to the tune of running up that hill) you wanna hear about the fics im writing

u dont have to btw, especially if u dont know the fandoms im talking about (dq11 and tokrev) bc this will mostly sound like a bunch of nonsense if u dont

content warning for whump writing and descriptions of violence/injuries/captivity

first one is gonna be jasper//hendrik in a setting where the luminary doesnt show up on time at the last bastion and so hendrik has to surrender himself to save the people living there (bc he Knows they'll keep fighting if he asks them, and he Knows the whole siege is kind of his fault since jasper is doing this specifically to prove his military superiority over him). definitely gonna be whump in there. jasper keeps him captive in his sky fortress (hendrik cant exactly fly away) and mostly fucks with his mind, but then mordegon decides thats not fun enough and takes matters into his own hands (jasper eventually defects to the luminary while hendrik gets turned into a monster. role reversal babey!)

second one is a gen fic in which hendrik manages to go back to the past (eleven passed on his power during the final battle bc he was too injured to heal), so he's like okay ive got this im gonna fix everything also im literally proficient in both combat and magic thanks to the luminary's power so there is nothing i cant do... except that when he has to choose the moment where he wants to return he kind of panics bc there are so many things to fix, and the confusion as he formulates his wish causes him to return just a few weeks before the events of the game, except he's 6 now and he can't lift a sword anymore. get detective conan'd, idiot. (this is mostly bc adult hendrik with luminary powers would be op as fuck and therefore i had to nerf him and also force him to ask for help for once. he knows everything but cant say anything and he'll need to rely on others to save the world) the fic will then follow the canon story order but things will happen in a different way due to hendrik's interference

third one's premise is: chifuyu gets visions of the future instead of takemichi, and when he sees baji's future he jumps to take the hit in his place. when he wakes up in the hospital, he learns that baji took the blame for the stabbing (he's in jail now) and that his new hospital roommate (once his condition has stabilized) is none other than kazutora (he's been punched in the face a whole lot and got broken bones too). they cant get along at all and takemichi is tasked with watching over them (kazutora is in his division now). once kazutora has healed somewhat, he'll try to get revenge on kisaki and hanma for pushing him to stab baji. at this point he's just obsessed with vengeance and doesnt care abt his own personal safety and chifuyu gets visions of him getting into big big trouble and so he has to get him out of it each time. they grow to trust each other eventually. there is also this takemichi//kisaki subplot which i am cooking up, where kazutora sends dudes to fuck up kisaki while he himself is fighting hanma, and takemichi is the one to rescue (sort of) kisaki (he gets his ass kicked lol but him taking half the hits essentially means kisaki doesnt get beaten to death). then takemichi carries kisaki home to tend to his wounds and then the dude gets a fever and takemichi gets to learn somewhat abt his past and why he is like this. main appeal of the kisa//take subplot is that at some point takemichi will have to go to the future for information and find out that kisaki didnt kill hina bc he didnt propose to her bc now he's in love with him?? for some reason?? it's honestly so funny to me. also i just wanna flesh out kisaki as a villain and find out what couldve shaped his world view (needless to say his family life is Fucked up) anyway this will probably also follow the canon timeline except now kazutora is here to fuck shit up and takemichi is trying to understand kisaki (with mixed results), which will drastically change how things go i think (no idea how this will end yet. i havent even figured out how to make chifuyu and kazutora get injured enough to share a hospital room for some time but not too injured that they can make it to the christmas fight (theyll probably still be recovering by that time... possibility of additional angst by having surgery scars reopen and all))

1-27 for the salty ask list. share them All 🪱

ALKSDJHKLJSHGF OK

since a fandom was not specified i'm answering these with Each One in mind. putting under read more for the sake of everyone's sanity

1. what OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

kurotsukki in hq!!, whatever the ship name between satoshi & ayumi from corpse party is, anyone x keiichi from higurashi, and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the main pairing from another.....the first two annoy me and keiichi doesn't need love but the last one's just kinda ehhh. don't remember anything between them

2. are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

naegiri from danganronpa!!! i just don't think kirigiri is the romance type lol.

tododeku bnha kinda!!! i DO think they're very cute, i just usually imagine them more in platonic settings

homumiko!!! same as with tododeku^^^

AND ALSO SATOSHI X NAOMI (corpse party). no reason other than there are cooler characters they can be with LMAO.

and lastly omori x aubrey!!! no particular reason, i simply think they're great as just friends

3. have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

YES many times, usually over little petty things lol. for example someone interpreted athena cykes ace attorney a certain way that i deemed Wrong and i unfollowed them immediately

4. do you have a NoTP in your fandom? are they a popular OTP?

yes and yes. it is called tamaharu (ohshc) and i am a HATER the thought of it makes me SPIT POISON and BREATHE FIRE also the fact that it's canon SICKENS ME <333 i don't care if they're perfect for each other it is simply incorrect and i am looking away so hard

also omori x basil!!! i think that one's pretty popular? i think it's toxic for several reasons which are all in spoiler territory

i'm sure there's more i'm not remembering atm ^^

gonna choose mr. amanome seiji from spirit hunter: ng for this one! his whole sadistic schtick is annoying and that specific sprite is ugly :) I STILL LOVE HIM OF COURSE. he's just ultra annoying when he Does That

also choosing phoenix wright!!! beanix is the unsexiest man i have ever seen <3 i don't care that he was struggling or that that whole mess was going on. i think that version of him is gross

lastly uhhhhh takemichi fron tokrev!!! vague manga spoilers: he's stupid for saving [redacted]. should've let him die

sometimes (SOMETIMES OKAY.) the tokyo revengers art style looks ugly <333

also i think a lot of the characters in another are pretty forgettable

16. if you could change anything in the show, what would you change?

i'd make the corpse party anime so everyone lives 😌 i WOULD get rid of it entirely but the op is AMAZING and it deserves to stay. what i 100% would totally get rid of though is blood drive and chapter 8 of book of shadows. those do not exist to me <3 except for inumaru cuz he's the best and i love him

for dgs 2.................i'd simply change the ending. will not explain how

and for aa6. haha. i'm changing all the characterization there, baby. keeping 6-4 how it is though.....love that case to bits

17. instead of XYZ happening, i would have made ABC happen...

VAGUE TOKREV MANGA SPOILERS: instead of ****** dying, i'd.....yknow............make him Not Die............................lol........................................ also i'd make kokonoi get over his obsession with akane

VAGUE DGS 2 SPOILERS: instead of [redacted] and [redacted] just talking, i'd have made them share a tender moment catching up and having more interactions :( honestly this would've made for a great escapade episode

18. does not shipping something 'popular' mean you're in denial and/or biased?

i think it depends on the reason why one doesn't ship it! i'm definitely in denial about (and kinda biased against!) ouran purely because i don't ship tamaharu lol.

19. what is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

how the fandom is on the art reposting part of instagram lmao. the comment sections there are easily the grossest places on earth!!!

20. what is the purest ship in the fandom?

mayushige (corpse party), takehina (tokrev), arankita, takakiyo kiyoyachi, any karasuno 1st year x yachi (hq!!), junithena, the delites (aa)

LOVE THEM easily the ships of all time

22. popular character you hate?

uhhhhhh?????????? don't think i hate any other than kisaki lol!!!

see #11 :D

also do wocky kitaki and uendo toneido count as unpopular characters??? if so then yeah those two.

OH AND INUPI. inupi my dearest...........

24. would you recommend xxx to a friend? why or why not?

what i would recommend: aa, hq!!, mp100, ouran, hades, professor layton games. amazing stories and amazing characters!!!

what i'm on the fence about recommending: another, corpse party, higurashi, your turn to die, spirit hunter, omori. neat stories, spooky visuals. viewer discretion VERY advised

what i Would Not recommend: danganronpa, genshin impact, bnha. just cuz

25. how would you end xxx?/would you change the ending of xxx?

OH i mentioned this in #16, i'd change the ending of dgs 2. still not explaining why or how!!!

i'd also change the ending of ouran by making haruhi Not end up with tamaki :)

26. most shippable character?

27. least shippable character?

honestly??? everyone in haikyuu

and both travelers genshin impact. i mean almost every character sends a love letter on their birthday, so

professor layton himself purely because of what happened in unwound future. i think he should remain completely unshippable

also sexiest man alive: detective hosonaga satoru 😌

[cheswirls]

i had that surgery between posting abt tokrev and now n took a break from reading and so the first half of tenjiku arc is fuzzy BUT i did finish it today so heres an  update, ~190 chapters in

ive been vague b4 but this one will DEF have spoilers im talking openly abt so if you havent finished tenjiku arc dont read anymoreeee

i think i started last time abt the emma ch so to start off this one w the emma ch bc. damn. i think besides being absolutely heartbreaking this cemented kisaki as not necessary the enemy, but as someone who has done wrong. kisaki has been the main villain this entire time, but i mentioned this last time, its different being told someone has done something vs seeing it. besides him n hanma beating up chifuyu, everything kisaki has done hasnt had any proof to it. even when he says  something akin to ‘damn my plan is foiled’ its less admission when theres nothing to back it.

but emma changes that. now theres a homicide associated w kisaki. now theres a bad thing hes done right in front of the mc, and for all the viewers/readers to see. now hes equivocated w the death of emma. 

i think emmas death matters for two reasons, and one more than the other. the first is the impact it has on mikey. its shown a few times now what death will do to him, like w shinichirou and baji, but w emma it hits different. im gonna contrast her and baji on both points, not to take away from baji’s death, but to add to emmas.

if im not mistaken a majority of baji scenes were only shown after his death. i think it worked and the valhalla arc was  rly well structured, but what this left in turn was a sort of emptiness associated w baji dying. the readers didnt rly know him at all compared to some of the other toman captains, and it rly hadnt been shown yet wwhat his relationship w mikey was like. we see the effect it has in his rage towards kazu, and none of his grieving. even when at bajis grave, its chifuyu that gets a bigger focus than mikey. but w emma, it actively tears mikey up. he struggles to carry her to the hospital, hes visibly shaken when he tells takemichi shes grown cold, and hes absolutely dead inside when hina is crying at emmas corpse and drakon is yelling at him asking why he let it happen. it hits hard, and it shows, and it makes the impact that much harder, that she died in the past and theres no way tofix it. and the realization takemichi has right before, of ‘o yeah ive never seen grown emma come to think abt it’ then bam.

the second and much bigger point is the emotional impact is has on the reader. baji appears and is instantly a source of conflict. he outs himself from toman, he joins the enemy, he denounces chifuyu when questioned abt investigating kisaki. theres no reason to trust him n no reason to think he’ll turn back, and then only thing there is mikey saying he wants baji back.

emma had that amazing chapter not long before, and shes had a few focal points previously, like on her birthday, and on new years, etc. we’ve seen her as an individual first, then as mikey’s sister, and that makes a difference. seeing her even admitting izana was her brother rly hit different bc its emma, the emma that grew up w shin and mikey but had another life before that. that was the connection i kept making, even as izana explained he had more relation w shinichirou, bc it was mentioned by emma first, bc emma remembered him, after all those years. knowing izana was involved w her death made it hit harder. it hits harder in general bc its emma, someone whos been around since the beginning, and been explored more in depth. i felt sad when baji died, but i was destroyed and heartbroken when emma died.

which, going back, makes kisaki in turn absolutely despicable. deplorable. abhorrent. unforgivable. even more so when he shoots kaku, and then izana, thrice, and then izana dies. i still rly didnt. get? izanas motivations, but i started to feel for him thru mikey, when he realized it was izana shin meant when he asked abt a second older brother. kaku getting shot was unexpected and almost worse than emma in the moment, bc kisaki had a gun and even knives were kinda taboo weapons, guns were completely off the table, and he shot five times andinjured three people w every shot. im glad the tenjiku members that stayed behind told police abt kisaki bc the entire time he was running i was like um??? and even B4 that i was like hey no mikey you dont need to stay, yall jus nee to beat kisaki into submission n have him confess bc the gun is right there, the bullets are there, cmon now.

but then kisaki dies/????? the way its set up made me go crazy, thinkin someone did it purposely, but then the driver was a nobody, and then hes still alive after impact???? big surprise honestly. but then his arm n leg are emessed up, n he says he cant get up, n it took me a sec to realize he prolly lost coordination n not jus bc of one leg, like he prolly couldnt sit up at all, then he up n died rightthere. 

b4 thattho, was the confirmation. i completely always thought kisaki wasnt a timeleaper, i thought takemichi made atheory but  it was baseless, i didnt rly like it, and then the scene during the vs tenjiku when he says future stuff n kisakis like what?? are yiu talking abt??? BUT THEN then have their standoff in the same parking lot n kisaki says you are a timeleaper and i was like what? he can also??? but then he coudnt! he admitted, was like no in ever could, which means someone else is pulling strings if there is another timeleaper, andmy moneys on hanma, the only other one whos been around the whole time. maybe ill b surprised but i f its not him then theres not another one, imo.

kisaki dying caught me off guard. his whole ten year plan was absolutely nuts, ic ant believe he thought he could go up to hina n straight propose n she would say yes, like honestly would she even remember him at that point? regardless i knew from the cram school chapters that there was some connection there, but i didnt think hina dying was some jealousy-fueled hate revenge plot. wild. but now the “main” villain is dead so what goes from here? we willn see.

i am rly glad kaku made it out. tallying 3 deaths in the kanto incident was so confusing w emma being one of them but the reveal that kaku was alive was rly something. i hope more comes from him!! the setup between him n takemichi was rly rly nice!!!! i wanna see more

i am kinda sad abt coco, bc thesetup of takemichi protecting him from div5 was great, n inui is a permanant fixture in div1 now, so to see coco decide to split was kinda sad. hope he doesnt go down the wrong path. kinda expected to see more knowing how popular him n inui are?? but nontheless

and smiley and angry were so good!! souta and kawata are amazing and souta was not like what i was expecting at all, n now knowing that he cares a lot n is not rly a fighter but iss till in toman jus. rly speaks a lot abt mikeys judge of character n kawatas older brotherschtich that they would let him be vice of div4. seeing what kawata and mitsuya both did during tenjiku arc was rly nice. 

and then hina telling drakon andmikey!!! surprised they believed, but it rly will mak things move now. for ex the gun scene where hes abt to shoot kisaki, rly ready to end it, but then hina n mikey rush in. i rly like that knowing that they both know this takemici is from the future, bc they panic but their faith in him isnt lost ,y’know? like they see him desperate, n drakon has a great line abt takemichi’s desperation, theyre not seeing their friend abt toshoot someone n freaking, n they wont judge his sense of character off of that,instead theyre seeing the desperation of someone who wants things to change, and know they can talk him out of it, or if not that then at least ,like, its not going to change what they think abt him. iunno jus. nice little detail i loved while reading that.
