Ghost-on-mars1 - Ghost Bun

This game is yaoi

Respect to Halo artists cause wtf. Did not help that I decided to add some perspective.

Usami as an ODST, I thought it fit

Himbo-117

Its gotten to a point were I'm genuinely thinking about writing this but I don't have the skill or motivation

SoC AU again, long ramble about how i imagine Vasily's character in this

Vasily being the groups Fjerdan would mean that something needs to push him to defect. Just like with Matthias at the beginning who is willing to give up secrets in exchange for killing Nina, that's basically why he joins. He just sees this as an opportunity to get payback and kill Ogata at some point. He would probably enter the story already having been shot, which could be interesting in him drawing the Ice Court himself instead of verbally explaining. But he also would be somewhat duty bound to not letting parem be weaponized. I don't know how snipers work with the Fjerdans or if they are just marksman in general, but I imagine they aren't seen as the most respectable of warriors since they don't get up close to kill grisha. This and the fact that his sniper pride was greater than his patriotism (during their first duel Ogata remarks on how a sniper is motivated by just the cold ability to kill not the hatred to dive headfirst into battle, which is kinda your average Fjerdan fighting style against grisha specifically) is what lead him to defect in the original so i think that would be enough for him to leave. I also think he would have never gotten a wolf, he wasn't 'chosen' by one and he didn't really want one either which really didn't help people's opinions of him. It actually might be interesting if he never passed the bridge to become a full Drüskelle, since Matthias said your told by a superior if they liked you how to pass, and he might have not been told. But I'm not sure if that would work, and maybe he was seen as not honorable but necessary so they just let him through.

He can bond over this with Ogata when he starts complaining about how if there were more sniper groups in the war there would be less causalities.

Overtime I feel he would become closer to the crew. Friends even. He might find a reason to live that isn't killing Ogata in actually making friends and having a ride or die group. Before all he had was the Fjerdan military, but now he has actual friends. Very flawed and kinda awful friends but still. The Vasily-Ogata dynamic is like Matthias and Kaz but instead of a duo with Nina or Inej they just have eachother. And they don't make each other better, only worse. That might change eventually but definitely not at the start. Vasily might slowly put killing Ogata behind in priority while Ogata has kinda the opposite development as he distances himself more and more from the crew. I always thought it was funny how they were written so passionate when they really wanted to kill each other. So Vasily would eventually 'let go' of (killing) Ogata. Also it would be funny if he became the go to marksman of the group just because you don't have to do mind games to get him to do something and isn't an asshole about everything. Ogata will totally not take this personally.

Endgame for him would be mostly the same in that he becomes a famous painter somewhere because this Fjerdan is actually surviving.

And I also think whatever prejudice is left against grisha would be destroyed by Inkarmat by explaining the fear they hold for eachother, she also wasn't ever in the Second Army. I think they could become friends. I love found family.

real conversation from the manga

HEY! Go read Murderbot!

if john finally had a breakthrough on accepting how what was done to him was wrong and the justifications and reasons do not absolve it, it would hurt so fucking bad and get a lot worse before it got better.

We should all appreciate Sugimoto more. He wanted to kill Ogata so so bad because he shot him and shot Wilk and separated him from Asirpa. Like he was fueled by rage just to rip him to shreds. But when he finally catches up, he saves Ogata's life instead because of how much he cares for Asirpa. He is willing to put all his anger away in an instant for Asirpa's sake. Him pulling out his knife not to kill Ogata but save him and literally sucking the poison out??? He didn't even hesitate because Asirpa means so much more to him then his anger. It also shows development in how close he has gotten to Asirpa, and how she has given him reasons to not just kill on sight out of anger, but to care for someone else's sake. He still wants to kill him, but on his own terms, not the terms of making Asirpa help in killing someone. Its honestly a breath of fresh air for a main character like Sugimoto to be such a genuinely thoughtful guy.

Quick Ogatito for a MS Paint - based contest (we hope for the best)

Sorry if the palette is a bit of a colorful vomit but... I had to use the default paint palette so we make due with what we have ( ^=ᆽ=^)
