related a little but i feel like a game with a time loop mechanic like majoras mask would eventually do roh in tbh

not bc he'd find it tedious, but bc his progress constantly being Undone would undo him

character opinions | accepting | Khai and Shin for Roh

“Khai– you mean the one who thinks he’s some sort of magnanimous big brother to the rest of us? He likes to pretend he’s above all our squabbles, like he’s so much more refined of a Kai, but he’s just as petty as I am. Also his ideas blow.”

Gathering them all together in a wasteful meeting just to admit his big plan was to go crawling on their knees to the Omni Kings, begging for a second chance? Khai wasn’t just a fraud, he was hopelessly naive, too. Roh snorts.

“He’s not even all that subtle, you know. Everyone should have seen through his high-minded act when he decided not to invite Shin to that meeting.”

And speaking of Shin, well.

“…I don’t… I still don’t trust him. I feel like he thinks I owe him something.” But. There’s a but there, even if he doesn’t speak it aloud.

i also appreciate that nowadays drawing roh really feels so Comfortable

i enjoy when i start a pose with one context in mind and it slowly warps into an entirely Other new context as im refining it

Send 🏳️‍🌈 + A muse to get a headcanon about a facet of their queer identity

Could be their orientation, gander identity, how involved they are in their community, if they're poly, or a lot of other things

"everyday's gonna be the same (laughs). yeah every day is gonna be the same loop, over and over again-- what? i'm fine. nothing's going on. i'm doing okay. i don't need a second slice of tiramisu. i don't want a second slice of tiramisu. as long-- if you-- listen, once you let that go, and you let people in, beautiful things can happen. your loop will end. and you'll shoot skull kid in the head with a gun, which is what i'm thinking happens at the end of this game, right? probably? just assuming. just assuming."

[amongthecrags]

if i ever have the chance to meet sidra and roh's english VAs i'm afraid i may want to ask them to say those lines

[amongthecrags]

decided to draw this text post i randomized a while ago

by all measures roh probably already Knows this but it still amuses me to imagine him having some misconceptions

[amongthecrags]

ghfheopqa i finally have enough doodles for a respectable doodle dump

everything is roh all the time except for one and that's based entirely on me rewatching that one scene from paranoia agent a few times too many since misae is very majora-coded for my own headcanons smh

but the sixth one came about from me stumbling across an old thread that involved roh meeting broly of all characters who found him hanging upside down from a tree after falling for a trap there

broly just kinda pulling him down so they're eye level but doing nothing to free him. sounds about right

wanted to ramble a little on the old ship involving roh and bergamo, bc it's been. almost 10 years now of me writing for this asshole (grapples frantically, numbly, for a chair to sit down in) and some of my thoughts and feelings on him and especially on this ship are bound to change in that time and They Have

chinhands i’ve always had the idea and hinted in headcanons with basil that bergamo is very. idk, Untrusting when it comes to outside assistance. he didn’t trust youth services/shelters and other adults offering assistance when he and his brothers were young, and he doesn’t really trust most others outside his brothers now. he's always been very entrenched in the idea that he is the only one who really Cares or has the know-how or the real ambition to look after his younger brothers in the way that they need and/or deserve

i'm sure some of that is pride, but some of it is also rooted in fear

so even with roh i imagine it’s bc he keeps his distance and doesn’t Intrude for the most part that keeps him in bergamo’s good graces (i mean. among other eventual factors but still). also probably due to What He Is, and that bergamo himself was the one who instigated, so i could imagine him feeling that in this particular case, he is the one with the control over this interaction

bc that is a longstanding headcanon i'm not sure i've ever fully expounded on-- that being that bergamo did start sort of sweet-talking roh a little once he figured out what he was, and it was 100% not genuine, but instead pragmatic. he saw an opportunity (a la bulma now i think about it lmao) and Jumped On It in order to gain from that opportunity for himself and his family

and at the same time roh, despite being a literal god and millions (??) of years old and (gestures at him) on top of that lmao, was not worldly enough about relationships to grasp that it may not have been sincere, which is something that might have multiple layers, considering he also has a rosy picture of mortals in general thanks to his own biases lmao. it was less that he was personally taken in by bergamo's charms and more that their situation tugged at his natural sympathy and affection for mortals and had him wanting to help out. which, again considering his usual demeanor, is not at all something i believe bergamo would have expected from him, and i don't know that he would have Understood those were roh's intentions until much later down the line

very amused by the idea of bergamo thinking 'damn this guy must be down bad i've got him wrapped around my finger' while roh is just content to be more directly helping a mortal who needs it (and really deserves it!! considering some of the Messes he and his brothers have already helped clear up for him)

i also do imagine there must be some mixed feelings from bergamo regarding roh. while he would eventually come to understand that roh's abrasiveness does cover up a sincere love and -- for mortals and for their universe, considering who and what roh is and the state of their universe, the kind of life bergamo has lived up to now, i wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a part of him (or any of the trio) that looks at roh and wants Answers. like how are things This Bad when you obviously care this much

another thing is i’ve always felt that i’ve developed roh much more than i have bergamo which probably makes sense given he’s the one i wrote for but i do remember fearing that it made the ship less interesting since bergamo remained this kinda underdeveloped mystery. so i have been trying to develop bergamo more too, just bc it's fun to build up two different characters at once and figure out how they work (or don't work) together

at the time too when i really shipped them, i feel part of what kept me from delving too deeply was that i wanted the ship to be something it realistically, logically Shouldn’t Be, if that makes sense. i wanted it to be a bit more straightforward, a bit more Deep and fluffy than it probably should be, all things considered

years later now i find it more interesting for them to have hiccups and to really delve into what keeps them from being a standard relationship, what keeps them from being completely happy with each other, and a lot of that is the fact that roh is Terrible at his job and bergamo suffers bc of it rip

[eatinqrow]

roh does not actually sleep sprawled out in his bed like he’s just landed after sky diving but curled into a tight ball on his side while hugging his pillow bc he’s deeply insecure and it makes him feel better

[eatinqrow]

roh: mortals are so messy. why can’t they just come into existence from fruit as fully-formed toddlers with teeth and hair and personality disorders and everything

[amongthecrags]

i just noticed i have some old roh posts sitting in my drafts so i think i'll go ahead and queue them to clear them out

Launch laughed a little - what an interesting fellow. Launch couldn't help but be amused that Whis seemed more disturbed by the thought of having to catch some fish rather than food poisoning. Perhaps it was because she had gotten used to Goku and others who would just jump in the water to catch some fish. Of course, that wasn't her fishing style, but it was the style she had seen from the tough guys.

"Well, I know the waters around Kame House has got a lot of fish and some of them are huge. But, it'd be less work if we went to a market to pick it up." She shrugged, "It's up to you, but I ain't sure how good that store bought stuff would be compared to getting it fresh though." Whatever option he picked, she'd go along with. Of course, she didn't mention that her method of obtaining fish from the market would be by stealing it. Either way, there was sure to be some sense of chaos involved.

[amongthecrags]

"Ha, well, I wouldn't want to place more of a burden on you than I already am by insisting upon a larger fish than necessary—!”

What a difficult conundrum she’s placed him in! Of course, he might prefer having the best possible version of a new thing rather than just good enough, just new… but not if all the toils of fishing are involved. How icky. Instead, in an attempt both to satisfy his appetite for new things and to salvage his own unflappable image, Whis happens upon what he believes to be a happy medium.

“But, surely you don’t mean a supermarket. All this coastline and not a single nearby fishmarket? Why, I simply don’t believe it. In any case, I should be quite satisfied with fare that’s not quite farm-to-table. I’m certain it’ll be a photo-worthy experience either way, of course.”

⸺❝Long enough to be certain that this doesn't feel like it should be where I belong. For how long? Who knows.❞ Everything's a little hazy in that regard. They don't really keep track of the time - how could they? Not to mention that when this whole thing started, they were in a state where blinking took days.

⸺❝How... had you found me, by the by? I've rarely seen another soul while, as you say, 'scampering about in the woods'.❞

⸺At least whatever can be said about Frieza in their current state... they weren't stupid in at least asking, even if it's so obvious for others who has the ability to search for specific people via their energy levels.

It’s nearly a full minute of silence before Whis answers, appearing still as if he is appraising his companion’s status. When he does deign to explain himself, it’s with a breezy laugh and what’s almost a shrug. “Call it mother’s intuition. Or perhaps even fair, witless serendipity, if you prefer. Stranger things have happened.”

Finally seemingly satisfied, he straightens and tucks one of his arms behind him to rest against the small of his back. “And what, pray tell, is the plan from here for you..? You can’t mean to wander about the woods for the rest of your life.”

“Or can you..? Far be it from me to tell you what to do.”
