god can't stop me from voting slay on every juza poll just because he's babygirl

as is your right! let nothing stop you from rightfully babygirling the babygirl 😌

[mxddyhero]

oh ok more juju questions do you have any juza moments/thingies that you dislike?

YES. not necessarily his fault but I don't like how him wanting to do more traditionally "feminine" things like wear skirts/dresses or wearing makeup is played up for laughs when yuki is Right There and most of the other guys have done the exact same thing. I don't think it's unreasonable for certain people to express discomfort if they're made to do that kinda thing if they don't want to, but Juza has clearly expressed interest in it and rather than have the support the rest of mankai has, he's always immediately shut down.

Usually it's banri, but at some point I want yuki or taichi to encourage him to go for it and really hype him up, yk? Gender is fluid and personal and there is literally no excuse for it to be treated as a gag in a game where there's so much lgbtq+ coding. Juko was a fun little thing, but it was clearly an act and I don't think he should have to act like a stereotypical girl if that's not how he's comfortable, but let him do the other stuff, yk? They literally have a tailor and professional makeup artist, they can SURELY make it tasteful. They have the power to do it. They're just choosing not to and the day they actually let him do it without snide comments or making it a joke is the day I ascend.

If I could kill whoever was responsible for this... /hj

ALSO /nbh but I hate how people just see him as. Half of a ship. He is such a nuanced, brilliant character but some people treat him as just a blank insert to go with whoever they wanna pair him with. I like ships well enough, hell im a juban enthusiast, but when people are erasing chunks of personality and ignoring aspects of his character just to slot him into a ship it makes me 😐 so many people write him as just a himbo but he !! Has so much more to him and I don't think it's fair to him.

Also, censoring for myself later ✌️

I fucking hate the brocon shit. It makes me so fucking uncomfortable and that's why I have the other hy*do muted and filtered I do not like him or his character at all sorry. I was so excited to meet the rookies bcs i hadnt read up on them before they debuted, i just was vaguely aware of them through fanon yk? And i was ESPECIALLY excited for him and sure he was gonna be my fave, but when they pulled that shit, I dipped ✌️ He is not real to me, sorry to his fans

woag you're green verified now

ough!! i wish i could see it....... that's pretty cool

is it both or just one??

[a3outfitstournament]

watch yuki ending up as the one with the highest slay score out of everyone

oh 1000% he's clearing everyone with EASE. the rest of them aren't vying for #1, they're gonna be fighting for #2 instead 😭

i love that we get insight into sonic's past in burning both ends of the night, but will we get something similar with lancelot outside of the main fic? 🫶 or do you not think it necessary? (i'm just so excited to know more about their respective pasts and how that affects their current dynamic... it's so satisfying to see everything fall into place)

also, is there anything specific that inspired tc&hk?

I absolutely am going to do something for Lancelot outside of the main fic and sort of already have something workshopping in my WIP folder 👀

I will probably incorporate a portion of it in TC&HK (like I plan to with BBEotN and Accolon's Tale) because so much character motivation is based off past history and relationships and decisions etc. I feel like a bad author if I make all these random seeming choices and then just go "if you want to know why, read these four other things", ya know? I like to think of everything else as bonus content.

Like, Sonic needs to know the relationship between Lancelot and Arthur just as much as the audience so I'm not going to keep it obscured and placed behind another fic. But the really gritty details? That's what the bonus stories are for. It's why I started BBEotN because there's just too much my brain came up with to fit solely in TC&HK for Lancelot to need to know.

As far as inspiration for TC&HK, I don't really know if I can point to one specific muse. It's a couple things. I was reading a LOT of Lansoni fics (visualdove on ao3 kept me very well fed 😂) so I wanted to contribute to the pairing but I didn't just want to rehash something I had read.

These costumes had just been announced for Speed Battle (of which I play Sheriff Sonic religiously now cause he's GOATed).

And there was the obvious choice to make something like this with the cowboy characters. But that STILL didn't quite squeeze my brain.

Then I had this, like, daydream, of Lancelot and Sonic trying to send him back home. They're camping and it's rainy and they have to share a tent. They have their own versions of each other back home but they like the one in front of them best. And the line "I wish I knew how to quit you" popped up and then Sonic went from regular to a cowboy and BAM! The Cowboy and His Knight had two chapters written before I knew it. Then it was like, well now what 😂 and the dolls kept playing with themselves while I did boring paperwork at work and Sonic Forces Speed Battle just kept showing up with cooler and cooler costumes (Oni Mephiles and Warlock Infinite 💚) so the ideas kept growing.

I estimate before the end of this I'll have TC&HK, BBEotN, a Lancelot/Arthur equivalent, Accolon's Tale, and some kind of sequel 💀 there's a LOT of ideas rattling around up here and I intend to get to them all...eventually.

[the-bi-wonder]

you should give us director's cut access to the cowboy and his knight just because i'm very normal about it 🫪

😂 oh man, being put on the spot here. What kind of stuff do you guys want to know? I've barely scratched the surface of giving the details in the AU and how the two worlds connect so I don't want to say too, too much but I'll answer to the best of my abilities 🫡

THE CALLOUT.

i can't speak without a lawyer, even though you hit bullseye, which is terrible--

for the a3 asks: 19, 38, and 40? 🙏

omg hi Usa! tysm for sending in the ask :D

19: Favorite Akigumi play?

Uhhh honestly I haven't read a lot of plays in general, and what I've read so far is mostly Harugumi ^^; but I'd probably have to say The Stranger! I really enjoyed learning more about Omi's past and seeing his bond with Taichi deepen. the story was v sweet and had some good development for both of them (plus Just For Myself is probably one of my favorite songs in the franchise) - I do have a feeling I'll really like The Rad Red and My Worst Wedding once I read those, too

38: Any characters you wish would interact more?

It's hard to pick just one, but the first pair that came to mind was Itaru and Kumon! their outside work convo is really cute and silly, and it's fun to see them be chuuni together since neither of them really gets to do that with anyone else (besides on stage, ofc)

40: Any favorite costume designs?

Might be a bit obscure bc it's not from a play, but Chikage's costume from the "Ah, My Beloved" event that ran last November is sooooo good. Wisterias are one of my favorite flowers, so it felt special to see him wearing them 💚

As for play costumes, I could pick any number of them, too... But I'll be real. I've been reading chapter 9 lately and I Cannot Stop Thinking About Lucifer
