mb yall i have to rant on about ghost lady again because i LOVE writing deep flaws in a character i LOVE writing off of the random conceptions i get and ending up with more than i could possibly dealwithaaoooaouuururrrhhhhh....
i really want to make something showing the big badabing that is minobe's final battle because like. that's what i built Everything of her character up for. but then there's the problem - i really gotta show that Everything.
which in terms of like. the fighting choreography and maybe dialogue. i can figure it out. in fact i have way more freedom to really let her strengths shine since it's quite literally the set situation for her full potential to shine through, if only for a moment. but i just KNOW i'm gonna have trouble really representing the sheer weight of what she feels in that moment. because sometimes you forget how much you put into character concepts until you have to actually execute them
sorry i couldn't spill this information in a more natural way like through nice story writing, but i really gotta just explain this straight up here god knows i ain't doing allat‼️
the reason why she was able to take on such a ridiculously outmatched fight alone and low ranked and win (albeit by the skin of her teeth) was because she awakened her mark in the midst of the fight. she was at the brink of death, several injuries all over and a slit in her throat to boot. you're kinda fucked, man. given her weaker running state by default any results only really came at the last second.
but it went from literally moments from keeling over to experiencing something she's never experienced anything like before - she was barely functioning enough to get up and walk around in her childhood, and it was only that very year she even took on any rigorous activity.
and now? it felt like she had become something new, something greater. she could see everything coming as though it were slowed to a stop, move like there wasn't any weight in the world, split an ancient tree as though it were tearing apart a single leaf. she felt untouchable, unstoppable. alive.
but as she beheaded her assailant, despite all the injuries of her own, her senses settled down. her body returned to its former state, and yet declined further and furthermore.
she couldn't move, immediately falling to her knees the moment that high came crashing down. the shock through her body resonated within her head, yet she didn't truly feel it - and it wasn't the adrenaline she had thrived on moments prior.
it didn't feel like she was in her own body now.
she wasn't alive anymore.
she wasn't alive.
it was hard to accept, but there was no way it could've been anything else; that she came down with it.
and so anyways here she is five or so years later in a boundless fucky maze castle, fighting upper moon five (with power that can't really even be measured in any sense other than the given that they were the strongest of the demons that hadn't tried fighting their way into the ranks of the twelve kizuki which really doesn't narrow it down much at all!!!!!!!!!), bleeding out a Lot among other things haven had her viscera fucking exploded by pin spikes and suddenly - feeling that same sudden burst of energy. that same life. after what she's known to be her death for so long. but it's not just that. i wouldn't just make the whole deal about that realization! because of course i love adding unnecessary nuances to everything!!!
she was still kinda riveted by that whole situation, of course. i don't see who wouldn't be. but she's come to accept it - accept her conclusions, accept the unfortunate circumstances despite the confusion of it all, but came through as an entirely different person. what was once a ball of ambition and energy became hollow, burnt from inside out. but thing is, she really hadn't changed that much.
at a younger age, 15-16ish at the time of her employment, she was always going at it, doing everything she could find to do and then some in whatever strange methods she could conceive - and that sort of skill to come up with that stuff takes a sharp mind that betrayed her appearance! even now, she's very perceptive and quick to make analysis. (but it's easier to believe since she just sits there and stares at people now instead of running around doing nonstop chores around the hq)
emphasis on quick though. it's that very speed that makes this ability go south with select matters. she often comes to the point where she has to make guesses to properly understand a scenario and where it may lead, and while this is usually pretty consistent in accuracy, some things are bound to come wrong.
so in the more seldom occurances where she miscalculates, it really stands out, often to the extent that her intentions are damn hard to grasp from an outward perspective in its entirely. and such a thing is where another trait of hers will stick out like a sore thumb - she's stubborn.
where she's correct, it comes in handy, almost as some sort of reassurance as a supporting mentor-figure she usually assumes in missions. but when she fucks up and ends glaringly wrong, she...still acts like she wasn't. which can be seen in a range from just trying to rationalize the possibility to literal actual Denial.
and y'know logical situations are what they are - logical. logic follows a philosophy, a system. so in tactical situations this isn't really apparent in the slightest. once it gets into more interpersonal stuff, though, is when it gets good.
past minobe held grudges. many. the first couple impressions would change how she acted around a person immensely. but ik that brings in the question as to why this is even relevant, considering i always make her whole character out to be all manners and sympathy for literally almost everyone now. even the total assholes of the series. and yes, courtesy does become a much stronger value of hers over the course of her reintroduction with the corps and in facing seems to be the main aspect of her behavior. but old habits die hard, baby.
it's clearest in the more comical applications, notably her painfully mediocre social abilities and the existence of maeda (the highkey pervert kakushi responsible for female uniform tampering aplenty), but beyond her words, subtle instances of her distaste show through in the near imperceptible variation within her actions. staring a little longer at someone as she says something, giving a little more work in a certain task, et cetera et cetera.
but where this REALLY comes in is with herself. boom wow shocking so unexpected i know i know.
out of all the tells i've gone over in how little she budges i kind of omitted the biggest one which i definitely did on purpose with the direction i'm taking this - even though she wholeheartedly believes she is dead, it doesn't take a professional to see she's still pretty fucking there.
even excluding the many who knew this but didn't have the guts to say it in front of giant scary zombie lookin ass lady, she's heard the quells to her perception many, many times, yet she hasn't wavered one bit in her certainty.
it's hard to see through someone else's eyes, but to her, they simply didn't know. what she felt then couldn't have been explained by anything else. and besides, not everyone knows the form a spirit would take, no? it's only natural some people would be in disbelief.
so anyways picture when that Whole Entire worldview gets turned on its goddamn Head btw. and in the middle of a fight. lol!
my period is back again and id like to take this moment to remind everyone with a uterus to avoid using tampons at all costs, if you can. a recent study was conducted with 14 different popular brands of tampons, revealing that every single one of them contained toxic metals such as lead, arsenic, and more.
i sincerely appreciate it! and i agree, being aware of this danger could genuinely save people's health! menstruation is rarely talked about and when it is it's treated as something disgusting or embarrassing, so many people will just quickly buy whatever products are on the shelf and get out of the store asap.
which i understand, youre on your period, there's too many choices on the shelves to read them all and it sucks being in public. but, if you have the opportunity, please consider getting reusable menstrual products instead, like medical-grade divacups or washable fabric pads or ones made from organic materials. they exist! and theyre much better for you than popular store bought ones.
always be aware of what products you use on and especially in your body!!!
Quote, "For the moment, it’s unclear if the metals detected by this study are contributing to any negative health effects. Future research will test how much of these metals can leach out of the tampons and be absorbed by the body; as well as measuring the presence of other chemicals in tampons" But like, why take the risk??
And from the paper itself, "we found measurable quantities of several toxic metals, including Pb, which has no known “safe” exposure level."
