for the character ask game, how about sooga? or kohga if you're not into aoc?
Character Ask Sooga + Kohga II
Guys so nice, I answer twice ehehehehehe
Yes i can and will share more hcs about them and use this shamelessly as an excuse (and reminder that my asks are still open) (btw tysm for the ask and yes I love hw aoc <3)
Sooga
More things I like about him: dat ÄSS- I mean, his devotion to Kohga being so strong, he defies a malicious corrupting spirit inside a pair of cursed swords (description text for one of his weapons)
More things I dont like about him: that he's dead taking such a long nap! isn't that Kohga's job?! ahaha. ha...
More random headcanons: the worst morning person you will ever encounter. health influencer quiver before him. he doesn't make it another person's problem though, very mindful about other Yiga during his (frankly insane) morning routine. bisexual but strong lean towards men (my personal sooga, I respect all other hcs)
More songs I associate with him: What Kohga is with shamisen and flutes, Sooga is the taiko drums to me, one example in particular from my playlist would be shutsujin-taiko by Yutakadaiko Tomoe-Ryu or just the Kakariko (Night) OST
Kohga
More things I like about him: It was so self explanatory to me to find Kohga hot, I only ever mentioned Sooga this way but... god I love me a fat funny man. Not afraid to bawling his eyes out in public or infront of the clan [aoc cutscene in the temple of time]
More things I dont like about him: how hard it is to handsew a plush doll of him without patterns just rawdogging the details like cmon give us at least an amiibo nintendo
More random headcanon: picky about food, fabric, nap spots, many things. mostly related to sensory issues but also mental exhaustion from his powers. Drinks often, smokes occasionally, and swears sometimes. Also bisexual (my personal Kohga)
More songs I associate with him: ok since Sooga got the "official" songs this ask and personality related ones last ask, I shall bestow upon thee now the few personality related songs for Kohga: Pac-Man by Gorillaz & ScHoolboy Q, Gohotekitobikatanosusume by Creepy Nuts if you squint real hard, it's hard to find something that's not cringe over the top but still captures him well. Fuck it i say Bonetrousle what now
For that lil’ character question list, how ‘bout the ever-iconic Sooga? :D
Character Ask Sooga
helluu kidK and thanks for submitting!! ahhh my glorious handsome Soogito who i am So Normal about
Favourite thing about him: da mooscles- jokes aside, he's such an awesome side character, he enhances Kohga's personality, his story reshapes the players impression of the Yiga, yes these are things about Kohga and the Yiga too, his entire shtick is being there for something/someone else, and his voice rawr
Least favourite thing about him: AGAIN. SCREEN TIME. I am so delulu at this point, he has been in one single game so far and I don't even own the dlc. he is my trout population
Favourite line: "I suppose destiny is at work, then." (my dumbass learning so much English through writing him its insane. Also he is way more polite and sceptical in German.. that probably shaped my characterisation a lot)
brOTP: I absolutely respect and adore a bromance or best friendship between Kohga and Sooga, they're just that fun as a duo
OTP: I think they're the closest to being my OTP of all time, what's several more years of yiga husbands ay
NOTP: Not so fond of Sooga x Zelda or Sooga x Link, but I am mostly neutral towards x Impa and x Urbosa, you do you
Random headcanon: sentimental about all his weapons, keeps old swords and other mementos in his room next to his bonsai garden. Sooga is his old name that he kept past his Yiga recruitment, but he also has a secret middle name
Unpopular opinion: I don't think he's like supernaturally tall, the theories were fun, but I wouldn't put him as over 2,50m tall
Songs I associate with him: OUgghGGhh oooohhhhh I have so many........ Aries by Gorillaz. Always by Panic! At the Disco. Karen 3 by Småland. Migraine by Twenty One Pilots. This bad boy can fit so many sad songs this is the tip of the iceberg
Favourite picture of him:
All of them, art, screenshots, I need to draw him more myself fr. For now I'd say these scene is pretty neat
Yo, my ever so amazing mutual, yk what would be an amazing fic idea...
Sooga haunting the narrative and Kohga having that trauma response where he can't remember much of it besides the smell of blood and how much it hurt. (Sooga dies to a guardian and dies gruesomely and in the arms of Kohga as he begs Sooga to hold on for a bit and surely, he'll be alright. This in my opinion would be an amazing fuel for Kohga's hatred to the Sheika as they originally created the guardians.)
hello beloved mutual beetle
EEEEEEEE this is sooo good, going on the list of wips TYSM for the inspo!! Definitely need more Dead Wife-ooga and Traumakohga. Might just be a one shot of Sooga dying though (she said, lyingly). dying again. i already have soo many wips of him dying. i cast eternal horse plinko on Soogito
but.......... one thing about this (I won't say whaaat~) is already a plot point in Sweet as Banana Wine so definitely stay tuned ehehehehehehe!!
Also, on the Sheikah hatred, I believe I interpreted canon a bit differently: afaik, the ancient sheikah 10.000 years ago split into two groups when the king announced the burial/defunction of ancient sheikah tech (guardians, weapons, beasts) since it got infected with malice: the (now modern) Sheikah who did his bidding and went into hiding, abandoning the tech until recently (second calamity, reemergence, zeldas research)... and the Yiga, who felt disgraced and insulted to be the King's scapegoat, and stood by their inventions, rejecting the royal family and Hylia to pledge allegiance to the Calamity and Ganon. So, in my version, to fuel Kohgas hatred, the guardian would already be under the Royal's/the Sheikah's control [glowing blue] and detecting "allies of the Calamity" on a random patrol, and then BAM! so much angst.
dont have much source at hand right now, so might as well count as my personal worldbuilding atp but this is what I personally aim to tell and have gathered from the source material :3
thank you again little dead beetle for your continuous support!! Ask box is open, drawing requests, and ask games are always welcome!!
How about either Shin or Noi for the character list thing! c':
Character Ask Shin + Noi
yippee thank you for submitting! honestly I love them both so dearly, so why not both?
💜 Noi
favourite thing about her: being physically taller (and wider!) than every other human + sorcerer (especially shin <3), her cute demeanor and amazing hair, her "I tank everything" attitude, did i mention her giant fucking muscles?
least favourite thing about her: not enough friends outside of work :< I feel like some actual female friends would make for a fun dynamic, especially in size difference or chitchat about their jobs
favourite line: im watching with subs so I can't tell but they're all good TwT
brOTP: Noi and Duston, I need them to be so so silly together all the time
OTP: Shin x Noi of course😔 though I respect Noi x Nikaido too
NOTP: Haven't seen any other ships in her tag much, but if you ship her with En, Ebisu, or Fujita or something... No
random headcanon: She regularly takes Guragura for a walk and cares for him like an owner, but always considers him Shin's dog only. Can get very domestic. Loves to try the sorcerer equivalent of protein shake flavours
unpopular opinion: [no idea if this is considered unpopular] Her fan service scenes are not that bad to me, it's rare you have a body type and personality like hers represented in anime AND BE considered desirable, also she's smart and hot as fuck
songs I associate with her: Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane (the old one before the stupid club remix) (something about the voice, guitar and lyrics "and your mind your mind is so full of red") or Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie
favourite picture of her: [photo dump under the cut]
❤️ Shin
favourite thing about him: He's surprisingly well written for what could be a typical "half-half edgy orphan main character" and his entire concept and backstory are so cool, I love his lil rings and the hammer motif
least favourite thing about him: not getting enough hugs :(
favourite line: im watching with subs so I can't tell but they're all good TwT
brOTP: Kasukabe and Shin, legendary blunt rotation potential with Thirteen, yearning for their respective gals, Fujita maybe too but he'd probably just want some women in general. Give Shin a break for once please
OTP: Shin x Noi of course 😔
NOTP: Nothing coming to mind really. I have yet to see a ship thats not Shinoi, I don't see much in any other ship imo
Random headcanon: He has permanent damage in his fine motor skills and can't thread a needle for example, therefore hates tiny flimsy arts and crafts. Secretly loves the smell of wood. Still uses tableware with the Flower Smoke branding at home because of the sentimental value
Unpopular opinion: Nothing coming to mind rn :b
Songs that remind me of him: 2 way nice guy by creepy nuts!! generally lots of breakcore and some creepy nuts songs by vibe but this one the most
Favourite picture of him: [photo dump under the cut]
I couldn't decide on one TwT They're both so pretty individually in all of these and so iconic together aaa
