💭 well you knew this was coming :) headcanons about hmmmm. idk, literally anything relating to shiguang that you haven't already talked about! :D

Okay so I know I'm insanely late on this, buttttt, I did write a lot of them to hopefully make it up to you! They're all about their college years because I'm still fascinated by the concept of what their lives look like outside of the photo studio.

(Even though I can't think about it too hard because why the heck would they live in the dorms when their college is seemingly in the same town and they already have a place to live?? I guess it hasn't actually been confirmed that CXS and LG lived in the dorms, only QL with Xu Shanshan, right? And somehow QL is a year older and LG is younger but they all graduated at the same time? And was college two or four years if they're 21/22 but have been out of college for two years?? I've stopped trying to make sense of it...)

So without further ado, Shiguang College Headcanons™:

Lu Guang majored in business because that’s what his parents expected and he really had no prospects for himself otherwise. He minored in photography both because he was inspired by Cheng Xiaoshi and to share classes with him.

Cheng Xiaoshi always knew he’d major in photography, but after he decided to open his parents’ studio he decided to also minor in business.

So at any point during their college years they were sharing at least two classes.

LG was always jealous of the passion CXS had for photography - he was interested, sure, but he found he wasn’t passionate about *anything*, really. But photography was soothing, especially because he couldn’t read the ones he took, and he enjoyed spending that time with CXS so he kept taking the classes instead of switching to something else.

As part of their photography assignments they spent a lot of hours in the darkroom. Sometimes Lu Guang would just hang out there silently or take a nap while Cheng Xiaoshi finished developing photos for his more advanced classes. It’s also where they had their first kiss.

Lu Guang definitely had to help Cheng Xiaoshi with the business classes. Qiao Ling took accounting and finance, so they had one or two classes that overlapped, but either way they tag teamed Cheng Xiaoshi and gave him shit for how bad he was with numbers.

Cheng Xiaoshi drove them crazy because he always had a camera on him, which meant going *anywhere* with him inevitably took twice as long because he kept stopping to take photos of things that caught his eye. Usually this wasn’t a problem unless Cheng Xiaoshi was being quiet, because that meant it would take them a moment to realize he’d been left behind at the last corner taking a picture of something interesting he found.

Lu Guang secretly finds CXS’s leather camera harness extremely hot.

Cheng Xiaoshi had a phase where, finally freed from being in school with people who knew about his parents and his behavioral problems, he tried to befriend as many people as he could and go to parties and generally revel in his charm. Eventually, he realizes those superficial moments and relationships don’t leave him anywhere as fulfilled as a movie night with LG and QL, and somehow he also ends up second guessing how much he’s actually wanted and welcome at these parties and so he feels just as lonely as before. Unfortunately, Lu Guang has to deal with a drunk and maudlin CXS way too many times before he figures it out and stops.

QL, being a year ahead of them, tries to impart all her wisdom onto CXS and watch out for him more or less as she always has - and is surprised when LG has basically beaten her to it. Announcement that student IDs need to be replaced by end of the week? LG has already told CXS. Reminder to fill out the form to change a class to pass/fail grading in time? LG’s already reminded him. CXS wakes up hungover? LG already gave him aspirin, water, and some solid food by the time QL shows up. It leaves her feeling off kilter and oddly jealous for a bit until she accepts this is a good thing - and LG’s not perfect so he *does* need her help with him still.

CXS is on the basketball intramural team - LG occasionally joins during practice or if they need an extra player, but he’s on the literature magazine club instead, reading entries and voting on what will make it to this year’s publication. QL doesn’t stick to one club for long, but volunteers across several, which means she has a huge network of people she knows. At one point she serves as the student council treasurer.

So uh... there you have it, some scattered college headcanons lol

#link click #asks #elibean #animegoil fanfiction

Ask game— i saw u rb odd taxi so let’s go with odakawa! I didn’t take a good look at the questions so I’m just gonna put some random ones here…2, 4, 5, 6, and 8!

Thanks for asking!

Full disclaimer that I still need to give this a full rewatch at some point, because I watched when it first came out, so my memories are somewhat faded.

2. When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)

I liked him from fairly early on tbh. His personality type of lowkey but snarky is always fun, and the show is good at letting him bounce off others in amusing ways. That said, the moment that really recontextualised his whole deal for me and gave me a much greater appreciation of his character was definitely the whole diary reveal.

[Huge spoilers below btw if anyone reading this hasn't seen the series]

I'd been keeping up with the various reddit threads after each episode etc so the fact his furryvision wasn't actually reality wasn't the bit that threw me nor the car accident stuff (given it had been hinted earlier with the cop brothers). It was the revelation that yeah, even though he had the physical brain injury, it wasn't really the "root" of his problems but more a mechanism through which he ended up expressing his psychological issues. At this point, he was using the whole viewing people as animals shtick as a way to allow him to interact with them? That it was his escapism given form. The psychological element of his denial had somehow entirely gone over my head until that point, but in retrospect it made so much sense. A lot of his "quietness" I'd taken as him just kinda chilling/deliberately ignoring annoying people was actually anxiety-driven? Like, don't get me wrong, he very much *does* get fed up with people and his natural state is very low energy. But he was only able to get to where he was because he had a coping mechanism to allow him to interact in the first place. And him seeing people as humans again at the end showed he was growing in the right direction.

It was just this whole new layer I'd somehow entirely overlooked, but was there all along.

4. How many people I ship them with

5. My favorite ship of them

Ended up merging these two together for reasons.

Okay, I won't lie. I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to ships and tend to err on the side of whatever makes most sense to me within canon. So, in this case, I probably just ship him with the one person, Shirakawa. They have a neat dynamic. One which honestly doesn't get explored particularly much (nor does Shirakawa herself, staying largely as a noir-like insert), but which would be fun to see developing further. I'm not super invested honestly, but Odokawa does clearly have a crush on her, and she is very willing to be the one to make the moves in turn (at least once they've straightened things out with each other)

It's a weirdly mature relationship for an anime, where they're both willing to see where it goes rather than leaping head first.

(If forced to pick another character, maybe Dr Goriki? They both share interests with each other and Goriki definitely cares for Odokawa more than a regular doctor would.)

6. My least favorite ship of them

See, it's not necessarily that I dislike this one, but it's probably the option that would mess him up the most so, Dobu. They would be such a fascinating trainwreck of emotional manipulation.

8. Your favorite outfit of them

I'm here wracking my brain trying to remember if he has any style whatsoever and drawing a blank. Uhhh, I appreciate his commitment to wearing caps. But otherwise, he's pretty bland, clothing-wise. Which makes sense from a character perspective, but kills me a little inside even so.

#elibean #thanks again for asking! not been able to talk about this series in ages so was nice to do so #odd taxi #ask meme #asks

Hello! I saw you tag one of my posts with “no id”, but there’s image id if you click the ALT button! I’m new to ids and stuff, so I’m wondering, did I do something wrong? :o was just curious. Thank you!

oh sorry lol no its become a bit of a muscle memory for me to add it on pictures when i don't look through rbs for IDs so i probably forgot to check it. sorry for making you panic

#i am just. a bit forgetty abt things soz #get meowed at #elibean

Dude i saw your post abt the shrine of resurrection and i feel ya. I have a similar question/gripe too— where the hell are the divine beasts? What happened to them??? Did they just disappear????? Give me answers, nintendo

its like they didnt even exist even though they're explicitly mentioned all over the game 😭

#theres a quest at the hateno school where you gotta help symin teach a lesson about the calamity #and like! it mentions all the events of the calamity! the divine beasts! the part where link dies! its kinda disappointing #snowy.txt #elibean #totk spoilers

Heeeey, noragami op here! Def recommend you to check out the manga sometime if you feel like it, it’s ending soon :D but i totally get it if you don’t want to hahaha

oh !! i didn't realize that it's ending soon :0 that does give me some motivation to read actually (half of the pain i was rambling about was just waiting for updates :'D) so!! maybe on my to do list thank you !!

#answered #elibean #again!! thank you for compiling that its SO good but also. ouchie ouch.

Well that just begs the question, what are your top 10 anime ops? ;)

Aaaaaaah tough question!!! I guess I trend towards more stylistic OPs………....here’s the list that came to mind, in no particular order:

-Xam’d Lost Memories’ OP is firstly a Bop and secondly just a solid package-- I love the continuity of the letter threading together the beginning and ending, and the foot tapping is instantly iconic

-Paranoia Agent’s OP still gives me goosebumps. it’s such a haunting wake up call, especially when I first experienced it at 2AM on adult swim, and it lives in my hindbrain

-Eden of the East’s OP is a graphic designer’s dream. I see “the abuse of power is when it disjoins remorse from greatness” and I go nuts

-Kokkoku’s OP just goes so hard. Absolutely baller visuals, great color design, killer song

-Dororo’s OP woke me the fuck up when I first saw it. Guy who directed Redline did it and it shows. Excellent shit

-Obligatory Death Parade because it’s fun as hell and funky fresh

-Another Boom Boom Satellites OP: Kiznaiver is a kaleidoscopic tumble down a rabbit hole

-The overlooked and underappreciated Yama no Susume’s 2nd OP is delighted with textures and patterns, a precursor to the Yuru Camp OP (which is also excellent), bright and cheerful and fresh

-Samurai Champloo’s OP is a stylish and unique classic, and sets the scene for the entire show and rockets me back to my youth

-Soul Eater’s first OP is a godtier bit of editing and timing magic, and a banger to boot

Honorable Mentions:

-Kaguya-sama

-Eureka Seven

-Princess Principal

-Lain

-Acca 13

-Wasteful Days of High School Girls

-Kaiba

-Eizouken

-Kakegurui xx
