Asking Because I'm Curious And Also Because I Feel Like I've Exhausted My Usual Options, But What Are

trying not to assign a majority of the songs I listen to to characters or pairings all the time but sometimes a certain line in a song hits different and all of a sudden that restraint withers away.

mood for today

That one kiss meme but it's them

ok I forgot polls were a thing soooo

if I could make an anbai ship week happen at some point I think that would be a huge personal accomplishment

help cuz idk how to tell to normal people that I like Guilty Gear except I don't really play the game I'm just in it for the wackass lore and not even the lore for the main characters it's the lore for two and a half side characters one of which they've probably never even heard of and the other one who is WAY more popular because she's the fan service character and either I risk judgement or them bringing up her massive rack every five minutes while I try to talk about them. I'm going to throw myself into the ocean

HIII OMG i literally just saw the ao3 message so sorry this is kinda late but im so glad you made a tumblr!!! this is cowboylesbian from there btw :)

YOU

But yeah hi!! Finally got on here! Pleasure seeing you as always :D

Hello, vantablackdraws! Do you have any other favorite pairs from Guilty Gear or other works? if it's not difficult for you, can you tell us about them and how you liked them? How do you see the dynamics between these characters?

That's certainly a tall order of an ask my friend... well let's see, for Guilty Gear pairings, I also like:

Chaos and Daryl: I think Daryl can sorta play at his level and therefore possibly beat him at his own game so to speak. I mean he had Chaos convinced that he was a coffee addict only to be revealed he didn't like coffee. I think Chaos would find him interesting. Plus that line "It's so boring here, I shoulda kept Daryl at least." hmmmmmmmmm

Chipp and Answer: Changing Answer's life for the better and from a situation he was similarly in before aside, Chipp is also kind of a dumbass (a very competent one, mind you, but still). And Answer having the energy of "I would literally kill for you but Jesus Christ you drive me insane-" is funny to me. You got a lot of potential for tender/more serious moments as well as some comedy in there.

Axl and I-No: I don't really know a lot about them outside of Strive and some other lore but every time I think about them I get kinda sad, because it feels like Sol and Jack-o except if it doesn't work out. Like the whole "do you love me for who I am, or because I remind you of someone you used to love?" dilemma (plus I-No's whole doomed situation adding an extra pinch of angst-)

Nagoryuki and Testament: Tbh I'm unsure on whether I like this one romantically or more platonically, maybe I'll just keep it vague because I like that. But I think they have a lot of potential based on their arcade interactions and their similar history. Testament understands what it's like to be controlled against your will, or as they (roughly) put it, "I know what it's like to carry yourself like some sort of demon". I think they could also bring out Nago's more lighthearted and playful side (the dad jokes), maybe they could drink tea and go on long walks, just take time to appreciate life again together as two semi-immortal(?) beings. I think that would be nice.

Aaaand the other ships I also like are KyDizzy, RoboVenom, Mayburi, JohnnyTess, SolJacko, and AbaCelsus. They're just nice <3

Me: I've only seen like a handful of Anbai content on here lemme go check the tags to see if there's any more I missed

Me: who is Anpanman-

I sent a similar ask to another Anbai fan a while back, and I think you'd get a kick out of it too: I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li is an Anbai song 100%

I've actually had that song in my likes playlist for a while now! I never really considered it before, but I can see the first verse being from Anji's POV now that I think about it. Also the following motif that's prevalent in their relationship, following her no matter what path she takes perhaps.

POV idk what to do for May
