Pair of Cake Tongs With Caterpillar, Smithsonian
re: hisui & yearning, what's the moment she fell, and is it different to the moment she realised she did? whats stopping her from jumping all in? (personally, outside forces etc)
OH MY GODDDDD god i have so much to say about this actually. let's see how much i can say without beginning to go crazy on the keyboard.
needless to say major spoilers for unique reaction, but it'll be a while before this actually hits the story soooo read at your own risk lmao

H, S, U, I for hisui :)
HISUI ASK AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the FIRST..... omg i can't contain my excitement hehehe. she's taken up all my thoughts these past few weeks....... idk how much everyone knows about dr stone so i tried to explain my best without giving too much away lol
so many of these games are super hard to answer for her since she's basically from the stone age but this game was perfect!!!!!!!
H - Something they're exceptionally good at
since the source material is a shounen anime, everyone's kinda got that oneeee thing, ya know? hisui is exceptionally good at pattern recognition! the best use of it is when she and her brother are foraging for materials - she's able to recognize signs that lead to the growth of certain plants, elements in a cave that lead to certain minerals, etc. it's also how she's able to piece the written language she "creates" back together. using the names written on the gravestones of her village and the town priestess' stories about their ancestors, she's able to use the names she knows for sure and use those to determine the rest. which isn't entirely feasible - japanese is a very nuanced and complicated language, like all languages - but. i mean. a teen scientist reviving humanity after a strange beam of light petrified them for 3,700 years doesn't seem too feasible either LOL! later on her pattern recognition comes in handy for strategic planning during the stone wars period and blueprint formation with senkuu, once his base ideas start to build off of each other more and more
S - Is there something in their life they regret?
yessss i fear. though she and her brother are members of ishigami village, they were driven off of the main two islands where the villagers reside - chrome because of his "sorcery" (we would call it science.....), and hisui because of her writings. chrome was getting a little funky with chemical mixing and scaring the others with what they perceived as "dark arts," while hisui was writing down everything about the villagers she could and coming up with her own stories to tell her fellow tribe members. they viewed that act as sacrilegious, because they already have the 100 tales as part of their village mythology. sooo long story short, hisui doesn't think she fought the chief hard enough for her brother's right to continue living inside the village and practicing his sorcery. she would've happily moved out on her own and never told a story again if it meant that he got to stay and live a more comfortable life.
U - Are they a morning or a night person?
she's definitely a morning person!! gotta chase that daylight as much as possible when you don't have anything but fire to keep the darkness away at night.....
I - 2 things they really enjoy
hisui LOVES to learn, it's part of the reason she's always writing stuff down. there is just so much knowledge in the world and she wants it all, from science, to history, to the arts - every. single. piece. she and chrome are doing great when it comes to the natural sciences, but when senkuu rolls around, he kinda blows all of that out of the water lol. hisui also lovessss organization. the materials in her and her brother's hut have been meticulously studied, organized, and placed in appropriate containers based on their properties. it's already sorted into rock-types, plant-types, and animal-types, but even within these sections, the gemstones and the non-gemstones (? idk anything about rocks) are placed on different shelves, plants that grow by the water versus on dry land are placed in different areas, animal material from birds versus mammals likeee you get the idea. come's back to that pattern recognition lollll
BWAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! i love getting to yap about my gal. writing the next chapter of her story as we speak and i'm excited to get it out soon hehe <3333333
i finally listened to the rockstar roxy fanmix and it's been on repeat!!!! "she's so gone" is a great album closer, ur so right about "because we needed a damn break from all these boys" lmaoo
i assume the album title is a reference to paramore's since you included "where the lines overlap" but i cant help but notice how "brand new eyes" is a little too close to "brand new day". was this on purpose? because i know this version of roxy is not afraid to be publicly messy if the interview is anything to go off of....
hiii omg im so happy you’re enjoying it!! it’s pretty much just a super cut of my fav female pop/punk/rock artists atm… plus some old classics from when i was growing up hehe <3 i tried hard to make the track order matter bc it does for so many artists out there!! glad the end really resonated with you :)
and :)))) i was wondering if anyone noticed how close the album title and old band name were… eheheh…. you are totally right it’s 100% on purpose! the meaning is two fold; one to stick it to mag mostly, but also being she’s turning over a new page - living by herself in hollywood after literal years of being on the road with her dad and with bnd. new page, new leaf, new eyes, new outlook on life. all that jazz! just fit with the paramore song and vibe and i thought it was cute hehe.
i imagine she pitched the idea at a rocque records meeting and it went like
r: here’s my idea… what do you think
marketing exec 1: absolutely not galactic records is going to sue us. it’s too close to your old band.
r: butttt consider: i really like it and i’ll hop labels to make it so…
me2: we have you in a three album contract
r: ANY three albums… doesn’t have to by my debut album…
me1: … i guess if it gets popular enough brand new day won’t really impact our sales anymore
me2: … and if you google “roxanne brand new-“ it could pop up with brand new eyes instead of brand new day
r: :3
me1: we’ll allow it this time…
lolll
i’m working on the second album tracklist now!! and trying to figure out if i can put enough songs together potentially for brand new day’s first album… creative juices flowing in every direction but tasw i fear… reminds me i have a blurb of james listening to where the lines overlap for the first time somewhere in my docs… i’ll look for it when i’m off work
tldr; rockstar roxy i love you i love you i love you
