me rambling about some character interactions (honestly its really just Hayate/Ridley/Ryu, and some additional Ayane characterisation??) that occur right after the events of DOA5. uh. DOA5 and slight Ninja Gaiden 3 spoilers, but also a VERY LONG post!

thinking about a moment that’s set immediately after the events of DOA5, where Hayate makes a quick detour to Ridley’s apartment only to find Ridley in an emotional wreck because she’s been listening/watching the news reporting of a DOATEC facility (that Hayate, Ayane, Ryu, Kasumi and others were on) that had blown up not too long ago - and that Ridley has been dreading the absolute worse case scenario that none of the Shinobi made it out alive. She was informed before hand by Helena of what was planned, and that she'd promise to ensure the Shinobi would be fine, although after that platform collapsed, she has to do DOATEC's PR/Damage control and hide/lie to the public what actually occurred on that platform facility.

(What occurred on that DOATEC facility out in the ocean is that it doubled as a facility that harbored MULTIPLE Kasumi clones, and the Mugen Tenshin Siblings + Ryu got a little more than they bargained for, as the Kasumi Clones have reached their 'final' phase as being walking shapeshifting weapons of mass destruction that can also mimic abilities off the fly. and one of the clones copied Ryu's form and tried to do a dangerous technique of his, and the real Ryu had to respond quickly by doing the same thing and uh. it leads to facility going kaboom and everything collapsing. If you don’t believe me you can just watch this video. Obligatory DOA5 spoilers.)

There would be a moment where Hayate and Ridley are just standing in the middle of her apartment, embracing each other and Hayate profusely apologising to Ridley for causing any distress. "I’m sorry for making you worried, it was never my intention to do so. It was going all according to our plan but it went south so quickly, and I was powerless to stop it."

Ayane would eventually enter the apartment herself, because she would get really antsy about getting back home after the events of the day. However the moment she lands on the apartment’s balcony and enters, she immediately regrets her actions as she almost interrupts her sibling and Ridley’s intimate moment (even though it’s literally just two people hugging). Just as she’s about to turn tail and head back outside, she’s halted in her tracks when Ridley just barely croaks out a "thank you," to her for “having Hayate’s back,” and even adding on a “I’m glad you’re okay too...”

And Ayane is in complete shock and disbelief to hear this from Ridley, a person she has resented for so long for ‘taking her sibling away from her'. Only recently she has started to soften that stance over time after witnessing first hand Hayate’s and Ridley’s affection for one another. So hearing those words do disarm arm her slightly, like just enough to leave a tiny crack in the cold exterior she has but not enough to break it entirely. That said, in this moment Ayane would be caught off guard to just see Ridley in such an emotional state, and for a brief moment she feels her heart sink a little, and she doesn't know why (it's a ‘I don’t want to see my sibling’s precious person be in such distress’, but Ayane doesn't know it yet.) To get her bearings she sits on one of the couches, and does her very best to not tear up at Ridley’s sincere words.

Lastly Ryu enters the apartment, and I think a little before hand, Ryu would recognise that what has occurred in the last few hours have been exhausting, so he's open to Hayate's suggestion of a detour to Ridley's apartment for a brief rest stop. He would also acknowledge that there's no way that Helena Douglas and DOATEC in general can just hand wave away what's happened, and that there's absolutely a high chance the news would cover this incident, albeit they news would never know the true story. Ryu would reason that just telling Ridley in person that he's okay is a genuinely overall, good idea.

Winding down would also allow the Shinobi to fully process and comprehend the events of what happened at the facility, and relay more accurate (and critical) personal accounts of what occurred at the facility to their respective clans.

When Ridley finally pulls herself together, she does her best to make the Shinobi trio at home.

Uh during this down time, Ridley actually sees Ryu’s face for the first time and the interaction itself is highlighted in this post! There would be a lot more exchanges between these characters, although I'm not super sure how they would unfold right now, but there is a follow up exchange between Ryu and Ridley again, where he takes her aside and privately thanks her for being there for Hayate, when Ryu himself couldn’t (be it preoccupied with clan duties, the occasional demon fiend troubles or artificial gods etc.). Additionally I think in this moment Ryu, in a semi-tired state does confess to Ridley his feelings for her (albeit in vague terms) + mentions that since she's Hayate's special person, that by proxy, she's also special to him. He’s had these feelings lingering around for a while (since DOA4/Ninja Gaiden II) but he never really fully accepted them until the events of Ninja Gaiden 3, where Ridley makes a surprise appearance and punches the daylight out of a mutated Cliff.

Again, as previously mentioned, these feelings for the pro-wrestler is partly due to how genuinely supportive she's been to Hayate and Ryu holds those in high regard who are willing to lend a shoulder for others to lean on. I am aware its not exactly a sound justification for what will eventually turn into a polyship, but within the lore of DOA and Ninja Gaiden there's only so much I can work with, so cut me a little bit of slack. (also the connected timeline is kind of a mess... i have no clue when NG3 takes place tbh.)

I guess I should stress that Ryu does not envy Hayate and Ridley's relationship or closeness, I feel like Ryu is more rational in his emotions and doesn't let petty things bother him. like you'd have to try VERY hard to get him to be jealous.

ANYWAYS, back to the confession, I’m not sure if Hayate should walk in on the conversation or happen to overhear or, or have Ayane snitch on Ryu (would be an insanely funny idea, but it would be OOC as she deeply respects and holds Ryu in high regard). Whatever choice I go with, Hayate would be hurt to know that her relationship with Ryu wasn’t 'strong enough' for her life partner to feel comfortable in telling her that he had romantic feelings for her girlfriend. Ryu would justify the decision to not divulge these feelings to them as: “I wanted to prioritise your well-being first,” and that “I wanted to ensure that I could provide cover for you if any Mugen Tenshin Clan Elder asked me where you’ve gone. I don’t want you to be exiled or hunted down all your life like your sister, all because you’re seeing a person who isn’t from a Ninja Clan.” Hayate would feel very tired and defeated by that last justification, and even as Clan Leader, she knows she’ll have to answer a lot of questions if she dared tried to change that policy/rule (traditional can suck sometimes).

A few hours before the Shinobi trio leave Ridley’s apartment, Hayate would present the question to Ridley if it was alright to open up the relationship to include Ryu. Ridley doesn’t mind this, although she’s very confused on how Ryu has gained feelings for her. She literally says: “I’m not that special.” It would take a bit for her come around to develop her own feelings for Ryu, she IS attracted to him after seeing what’s under that mask, it’s just the development of romance between the two will take some time, but she’s open to trying :3

uuhhhhhh god this post is so long so I'll end it off here. there's nothing more to add atm other than Ayane being the obligatory fourth wheel to all of this unfolding before her eyes (much to her annoyance).

We need to bring back the term “benevolent sexism” into widespread use for real. It’s a major mechanism in how bioessentialist Girlboss Radfems can be turned into bioessentialist conservative Tradwives.

SUNGHOON SPITTING IN YOUR MOUTH AND BEING ALL FILTHY ABOUT IT LIKEEEEEEE.

he’s spitting in my mouth as we speak

-

“Open your mouth.”

He pauses on top of you mid-fuck with his cock fully lodged inside of your hole. The bed underneath comes at a standstill, juxtaposed to the rough shaking from Sunghoon pushing and pulling his hips from you.

Sunghoon is typically well put together and orderly. Nothing in his room is ever out of place and everything he does has a purpose. He walks with confidence with his shoulders back and chest out forward, and anybody who’s fortunate enough to know him, sees that.

You’re his little getaway from the real world. You, his precious girlfriend, are the only person who could ever get him to completely unravel.

He’s got your legs spread wide open and you wouldn’t be surprised if your thigh burn well into the following day with how hard Sunghoon has been pushing your body. Your mixed arousal gushes and coats both your inner thighs and his the more he fucks into you and he loves hearing those cute little whimpers when he gets his hands on you.

You can’t say you don’t love it. He compliments your chaos and the only time you’re submissive is when you’re with Sunghoon. The roles switch once the bedroom door is closed and you, a loud-mouthed, opinionated person, are reduced to nothing but a toy who loves being told what to do. You love it and Sunghoon does too.

He commands when he speaks. You do as he says and open your mouth wide, sticking your tongue out until you’re able to present the surface to him so nice and smooth. Sunghoon gathers a wad of spit and aligns his head with your mouth to let it drool right onto your tongue, the warm sensation making you even more aroused than you already are.

“Messy baby.” You keep your mouth open for him instead of swallowing. Sunghoon sticks his tongue tongue out to lap up his spit and pushes his wet muscle roughly against yours and resumes his hips rocking in and out of you.

He kisses you with intense fervor and pushes inside of your mouth, neither of you really caring that spit is falling onto his chin or that the filthy, erotic sounds might echo into your neighbor’s room. It doesn’t matter when he gets like this.

Well, it's just, for some guys - not me - uh, but for some guys, you know, when they make it move, it gets all big and hard like a pimple and then it pops. And they say it can happen to anybody but it's still, it's, it's gross.

okay so I’ve played through a good chunk of Tekken 6’s campaign mode, and I think I have a better idea as to how Ridley Amora participates in the narrative + general character stuff about her. It’s a long post so buckle up!

The game has a world map with unique areas with their own bosses, each one being a respective tekken character on the roster. Sometimes it’s just a 2 v 1 boss fight but sometimes it can be a 2 v 2 boss fight.

Ridley Amora would be one of the early bosses, specifically in the West District, 13th Avenue as a mini boss before Paul Phoenix. The reason why she’s located here is because she just so happens to be on the run from the Mishima Zaibatsu and is thus hopping from place to place consistently. She doesn’t want to risk the safety of any Resistance bases or civillians, and honestly she only really stays in one area for under a week, before moving on to the next place. It’s just that she just so happens to feel this overwhelming creeping dread that she’s being followed and so makes the decision to leave the West District - leading to her coming across face-to-face with Lars and Alisa.

She would probably tag along with Lars and Alisa simply because she’s a notable individual who has stood up against the Zaibatsu that any of the Resistance Cells will be able to recognise her as a non-threat and essentially just be a precaution to ensure the Resistance cells don’t attack a temporarily amnesiac Lars and Alisa, who is just as equally confused-and-curious-about-the-outside-world.

I know this might all seem to be a contradictory statement but they’re actually not in these Resistance areas for too long, so the risk for discovery is much smaller. Still risky, but it does not put as much of a target on their backs as they’re just passing through. Also this would make some of the game make a little more sense because I get it’s a misunderstanding to beat up the resistance cells, but like. It would have been way more interesting if the Zaibatsu put a bounty on Lars’s head and the enemies you fight in the game are people who are desperate for something good to happen in their lives, as there is a promise of a large cash prize.

um. Very important that Lars’ and Ridley’s first interaction is extremely antagonistic (or at least she’s antagonistic to him), and thankfully he’s got amnesia so it doesn’t hurt that he’s getting insulted by the very person who inspired him to breakaway from the Zaibatsu in the first place. Although when he does get his memories back…. Uh. That moment really hurts him a lot. Like he genuinely feels like he’s been gutted like a fish, and it forces him to see Ridley Amora as a person and not the so called icon he’s put on a pedestal- especially since she’s the reason why Yggdrasil exists at all.

Ridley has been a very vocal critic of the Zaibatsu and unfortunately the thought of crossing the path of the Zaibatsu’s former military commanders who defected to form a rebellion out of no where, leaves a VERY bad taste in her mouth. Internally, she wants to be like Lars, she envies him because he was able to build a pretty sizeable community/resistance group together overnight, yet Ridley constantly struggles to keep even a basic friendship group together. She wants what he has.

As the game progresses, more and more banter would occur between Lars and Ridley during the moments between chapters. It starts vitriolic, but slowly that edge shaves itself off and becomes more playful and sarcastic. They start working as a proper team, and even if Lars and Alisa aren’t going to see eye-to-eye with Ridley all the time, they at least appreciate Ridley’s bluntness and brutal honesty. Even if it’s something they don’t want to hear, she is able to keep them grounded in reality and look at things as realistically as possible.

Too bad it takes so long on Ridley’s end to realise that the community she wants is right in front of her. Her guard is still up, but she doesn’t realise her castle walls are starting to show signs of their age for the very first time. They don’t crack yet, at least not until the very tail end of Tekken 6’s campaign mode. It would take all the events of Tekken 7 to tear down those castle walls fully, to then allow her the opportunity to let go of this mental curse she’s placed upon herself, that will finally allow all of those wishes of hers to have a stable unbreakable community around her be met with open arms for her.

Her more brash, cold attitude wont disappear overnight, but at least the edges have been filed down to something much smoother, and at least is a lot nicer than before. She’s not meek, but she’s a much softer person by the end of Tekken 7.

Random idea I got this morning thinking about how small little things (mostly about missing important moments of the past) make the boys emotional and sorrowful.
