CFV Quarantine AU
So the gist of this fic is that 10 assorted characters are stuck in Ren’s fancy mansion in the countryside, it has 5 two-people bedrooms, and they can‘t leave the house for the next couple months. This is bad, because: a) Ren drives everyone crazy (he’s the only one with money and also keeps making moves on Kai), b) Gaillard here still hates Kai’s guts (and so does Asaka), c) Kai isn’t good with being forced to stay in enclosed spaces for a long time. Insanity ensues. Since there isn’t really a plot, here are some incorrect quotes that feel very fitting for this universe:
I should mention that the guys actually switch roommates every week (Misaki and Asaka are the only girls so they are forced to stay together). Courtesy of Ren, because he wants to room with Kai. They draw straws to keep it fair. Ren almost never gets to room with Kai. Karma.
I should mention that Kai in particular becomes very unhinged in this AU, which is mostly Ren’s fault. He does love to see Kai bloodthirsty (which is canon I am not making that up). After months of wearing Kai down, Ren does achieve his goal. He gets more than what he bargained for.
Bonus: they also play truth or dare at some point. Ren smuggled alcohol into the house. it gets very chaotic and gay.
I haven't posted anything Miwa-related for a while now, and I can't have that. So here, have a screenshot of Miwa 💛
this is wholesome
AT LONG LAST!!!! Vanguard If episode 14 reaction
Where’s the little mask part? Does it just roll up like Cooler’s?
It’s so surreal to have the Royal Paladins as bad guys
Nadoki and Shingo summoning their personas
My reaction to If Kai:
Holy plot twist! Kai’s parents!? I never expected to see them like...ever. Does that mean maybe will see Aichi’s elusive dad!?
Kai like is a normal person in If and I’m not sure how I feel about it. He didn’t even remember Vanguard!!! That’s like his whole life!
Shouts out to the Legion Mate-esque flashes. I think it’s rather clever they reversed the situation here. Rather than Kai restoring people’s memories of Aichi their restoring his.
IS KAI DEAD?!
Well, so the new ending and the preview have completely spoiled the fact Kai isn’t dead. It looks like Kai’s joining the squad!!!!...this really is Legion Mate especially with that ending😂! From the preview it seems Takuto is going to be in the next episode and the squad is gonna square off with Aichi. Also, Aichi is still not fooling around he like drops Ibuki into a ravine. Also, Miwa seems like a bizarre choice to join Aichi’s sanctuary knights I expected the new member to be Misaki. I wonder what Miwa’s motive is for joining Aichi.
I couldn't help myself I needed to do this with CFVG cast of remarkable dudes
I got on rambling on twitter about Naoki cause I got, maybe a lil introspective on him while writing and the tl;dr is he’s very much defo neurodivergent.
He fairly obviously has depression to some degree, but that aside I rambled myself into a thought.
Autistic Naoki
Hear me out.
-dealing with people is hard, there’s too many unspoken social rules to figure out and it’s very easy to fuck up with people, for example:
--he is rather blunt/straightforward and quick to act (his brain to mouth filter just, doesn’t work sometimes and he jumps to quick conclusions) i.e telling people to heck off or shut up, turns out that’s rude to do, but also how else is he supposed to make it clear he can’t be sociable rn? and being quick to act means he leaps right to getting physical when we probably should not (b/c words are hard but actions get the point across real clear, and no one ever listens to him anyways)
-he already strikes me as introverted and easily drained by being around a lot of people, esp people that want to talk a lot (and about things that just, don’t interest him) the social drain is a lot slower when it’s ppl or things he knows/likes (i.e he can hang and play Vanguard w/ friends for HOURS before needing to recharge, meanwhile school just, saps it all out of him-at least pre-vanguard club stuff) this also ties back to ‘Naoki is depressed/has depression’ too
-he has a difficult time making friends b/c again, trying to relate to people is hard also the previously mentioned bluntness and introversion means people think he’s rude and don’t want to be around him
tl;dr this boi socially awkward af
-HOWEVER, once he befriends someone he’s basically ride or die (also 100% willing to throw hands for them) and starts becoming more open and friendly
-b/c really he IS actually quite friendly once you get to know him and his quirks and whatnot and get past his cold, standoffish attitude (and his resting bitch face lol his neutral face tends to look a mite grumpy which sure doesn’t help people’s impression of him)
-Vanguard is absolutely a special interest you can’t tell me it isn’t lol He like saw it, got interested and then spent the whole night learning to play just to join the club b/c he was excited about it/got super into his first fight(a learning fight) in the og series
-he strikes me as the sort that, when super excited, will like make excited fist shakes in the air/lil hand/fist flails (and in the og series we actually see him throw his hands in the air and literally run around so, ya boi gotta MOVE!)
-stimming by way of playing w/ the card/deck case. honestly his stims probably involve lots of moving but esp his hands
-also probably tried to force himself to not do those things in front of ppl when he was younger b/c they look at him funny/say it’s weird/whatever so he just ‘oh ig it’s not normal to do that’
-not the case around Aichi and friends tho, esp since there tends to be a lot of moving/flailing from that group when excited anyways. they not gonna judge (also like, lbr it wouldn’t surprise me if some of them were on the spectrum to some degree as well)
