POV Idk What To Do For May

i come bearing more gifts!

this one has been circling around in my head as a song for baiken for SO long, something about the anger and desperation in her voice just fits her perfectly imo

what do you think?

I can definitely see it, looking at the lyrics you can sorta see that "I'm gonna do this even if it kills me" attitude she had throughout most of the series. Holding onto something that's destroying her so to speak, and maybe looking back on it when she's changed (although I feel like this interpretation leans a little more sad? But then again giving up something you've clung onto for so long is never really easy)

okay, this may be a bit ramble-y but I have an important question and I think you are the most qualified expert to ask!!! how would you describe Anji as a character (personality-wise)? I want to write silly little fics with him (also Baiken too because they are cute together hehe :3), but my usual method of reading the guilty gear wiki and combing through content with the character in it just ain't working this time!! anything and everything you have to say is very much appreciated ^^

Oooooh while I'm extremely flattered, I also kinda struggle with the same thing sometimes. He's a little hard to pin down personality-wise because he can be kinda all over the place in the stories and also idk if he's as fleshed out. But I can certainly try!

I'd say he's rather passionate about what he does/the things he cares about? He's lighthearted and a free spirit, but can also hunker down and get serious when it matters. He's definitely curious, sticks his nose into places it probably doesn't belong. And while he can definitely think things through and be cautious, he also just kinda does whatever he wants in the spur of the moment (ad(h)d who-)

I could also argue that he's rather secretive too? He wants to try and have the upper hand in a lot of situations, and I think that goes well with him being a trickster. But I don't think he's completely cold hearted either. He's goofy when he wants to (meeting Nago with Chipp) and earnest when it counts (Baiken.)

My best and honest advice is to both watch and read the script to the games and decide how you want to interpret him for yourself. The strive arcade mode, the few times he shows up in the strive stories, checking out the VG museum, etc etc. But assuming you've already done that, I'd also recommend reading fics and combing through some character breakdowns. @rex101111 and @elementroar do a fairly good job at that (granted a lot of it is in context about his relationship with Baiken but I'd argue that's kind of an important part of his character a little bit.) (but also that is just me so take that with some salt if you wanna)

Rex's fics and also Mundane and Lazy Life do a really good job at exploring more flawed and complex aspects of his character without sacrificing what makes him endearing. They're some of my favorite interpretations because they really flesh him out.

Hope that helps??

o shit-

YOU! *YOU!* IT'S ALL YOU! Holy shit I've been seeing some of your art off an on for a bit now and I just managed to see that adorable art of Delilah, Baiken and Anji sleeping next to eachother so I checked your stuff out and BOOM

Really great art, those Anji and Baiken are in my top spots for fav hetero relationships in fiction of all time fr

Alas! IT'S BEEN ME THE WHOLE TIME!

Thank you for checking out my stuff! Also my bad for just releasing it all into the wild like that, I will probably do it again.

Throwing my piece into Spectrolite to fool around with the colors and try to make it even more bisexual

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

ok but the fact that I was literally thinking about this whole thing earlier today- what are you, a mind reader? (I kid I kid)

I do really like the concept of Baiken being somewhere on the ace spectrum, cuz I always appreciate ace headcanons gimmie more of them, but then I was also thinking about how trauma would possibly play a part in her relationships too, and maybe that's another reason why she doesn't really bother with romance all that much. Can't get hurt if you don't get attached, maybe she doesn't see it as something worth her while with revenge at the end of the line, all that stuff.

But I think that with Anji it's interesting, because in essence, he really does love her. Doesn't even have to be in a romantic way, he truly cares about her. He wants to see her prosper and do well for herself, he wants her to live. I don't even think he'd care that much if she didn't want him back, just as long as he can be by her side or at least make sure she's doing alright. I think that kind of love in and of itself is just as valuable too.

Feeling really unsatisfied with the lack of anbai smut like, y'all, you have a perfectly good service top and a femdom(?) right there with years of weird and complicated history and you are letting it just SIT THERE-

Welcome to Tumblr! I'm immediately hooked on your art.

Aaaaaaaah thank you! Hoping it goes well!

Forgive me, but today I want to ask a provocative question (

Who is your least favorite character in guilty gear? Why?

Iiiiiiii don't really have anybody in the cast I like the least off the top of my head? And the only one I can think of, I don't think I wanna say...
