I've Been Gone But Know I'm Back Because Unfortunately I Have Transformers Brain Rot So I Gotta Speak

Full of Curlys

I need them back :/

I like how in media, there's the trope with a usually standoffish or asshole-ish character that eventually becomes a better human

meanwhile, ogata hyakunosuke gets progressively worse, lies about improving, gaslights HIMSELF, and finishes at his worst. What is that, talent?

what is halo

Imagine a hard-scifi military series where, in the wake of a massively popular anti-colonial insurrection, the future CIA starts kidnapping children from colonial subject planets, brainwashing and experimenting on them to create teenage supersoldiers, then using the survivors of this program to assassinate left-wing political opponents of the imperial government, because the previous traditional military campaign was untenable. THEN as this is happening, an alien pseudo-catholic empire doing some Ancient Rome shit shows up and just starts OBLITERATING any resistance humans put up.

Okay so now imagine a series of video games where you play as (now adult) child soldiers from this program, and none of it EVER comes up and the games are just about how freaking sick the imperial government’s guns and tanks are and you go around shooting aliens with them and it’s sick as hell. That’s halo, baby! Anyway, read the short story Dirt from Halo Evolutions it’s so so good

sea, swallow me

Wake up.

It is done 👌 It was mesmerizing to see the downfall of Ogata 🥲

Also think it's interesting that both series have a common theme in showing affection, in soc it's touch and in Gk it's food but both appear in either series

I made the au post as a joke but it's genuinely taken over my brain as I realized a lot of common things with both series, which are both some of my fav.

The main soc au group would be Tsukishima, Koito, Inkarmat, Tanigaki, Vasily, and Ogata. They are a part of a larger gang which is the 7th with Tsurumi as their leader. They would get in a bunch of side quests probably but would still break into the Ice Court for Jurda Parem secrets. Instead they are finding Wilk though and Asirpa would be the Kuwei who has information everyone wants after their father is killed.

None of the characters are really directly correlates to the crows though

Koito is official leader of the crew, kinda Jespers comedy but also the crews spider

Tsukishima is the right hand man and advices a lot of leadership decisions with Koito, the least like a crow I feel since Igogusa would be his Inej but shes long gone when the story starts

Inkarmat is a heart render who is the Nina of the crew, does fortune readings

Tanigaki is the Matthias I'd say except he's not fjerdan, the big one plus knows how to traverse the wilderness

Vasily would be the group fjerdan bent on getting back at someone else on the crew. I'm not sure how fjerdans would treat snipers but I think he'd defect on his own to hunt down Ogata

Ogata is the marksman of course and I would relate him to Kaz but he's honestly so much worse, funnily enough they both lost their brothers in very different ways

Also Ienaga is a healer who's also learned some tailoring that runs a hotel and Edogai is a durast taxidermist that is given skins in exchange for helping the 7th

I have so many more thoughts on them so I'm probably gonna post about this more but I haven't read shadow and bone yet

We forgive the gay war criminals

This game is yaoi
