ok because I guess I'm having wedding thoughts now and nobody can stop me
I think at the reception party there would be a ton of gifts, like a TON. Because yeah there'd be friends and family there (Delilah, May and Johnny, Chipp and Answer, Nago maybe, kiske family?, etc etc.) but also like, Baiken's helped save a lot of people at this point, 95% of those would probably be for her. They're making their speech and Anji just goes "And of course I can't thank you all enough for the...very generous amount of gifts..." and the camera pans over to a mountain of wedding presents like the baby shower from Hercules
(also if Axl showed up I'd imagine him using his time traveling powers to get them like, a piece of poetry or something that's actually legit, they ask Nago to check it and he confirms it's real. They don't think they'll have enough space in their house for everything)
WIP I'm abandoning but I figured I'd share it here
Baiken and Anji are extremely “How to Rest” by the Crane Wives coded. Like thematically, that song and Mirror of the World both share very closely related messages. It’s crazy. I’m going crazy. You can try to avoid it all you want but love will always come back. And it will hurt. But it will be worth it. Anyways how’s your day going
If I had a nickel for every time someone's told me a Crane Wives song reminded them of Baiken (and Anji to an extent) I'd have three nickels now....
edit: ran it by my friend who suggested the other two, they see the vision. (Also you are so very very valid OP I totally get where you're coming from)
update: I am using my powers for evil I just don't know how to post it when I'm done
every day I inch closer to using my powers for evil
Follow up on Dragon Dizzy: does that make Ky a donkey? 😃
I just want you know that this automatically means Sin is going to look like this:
Your anbai art gives me life I love how you draw them 🙏
Aaaaaah thank you!! It's not much but I try my best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"You look hungry. Let's get you something to eat."

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??
Is Into the Light by Skybreak an Anbai song? My sources say yes but my sources are also me
Looking at the lyrics I think it might be a little more on the softer side, but overall I can see where you're coming from "Snowblind, can't escape this feeling Late nights, tell me I'm still breathing No, I'm fine I just need time to find myself a way to calm my mind
Stay with me and help me ease my mind And say you'll never let me go Hold my hand and help me take this leap of faith Into the light"
