I like how in media, there's the trope with a usually standoffish or asshole-ish character that eventually becomes a better human
meanwhile, ogata hyakunosuke gets progressively worse, lies about improving, gaslights HIMSELF, and finishes at his worst. What is that, talent?
Cant believe the only time Ogata ever made out was with his rifle. Except I absolutely can believe that because it's Ogata and his rifle.
Tsurumi saying he thought Ogata joined up to get revenge for his father like he wasn't the one who actively endorsed the idea that he should kill his dad. Like why even lie to your close circle of simps about that, for fun???
i think im having a OFF relapse from when i was 13
Respect to Halo artists cause wtf. Did not help that I decided to add some perspective.
Usami as an ODST, I thought it fit

We should all appreciate Sugimoto more. He wanted to kill Ogata so so bad because he shot him and shot Wilk and separated him from Asirpa. Like he was fueled by rage just to rip him to shreds. But when he finally catches up, he saves Ogata's life instead because of how much he cares for Asirpa. He is willing to put all his anger away in an instant for Asirpa's sake. Him pulling out his knife not to kill Ogata but save him and literally sucking the poison out??? He didn't even hesitate because Asirpa means so much more to him then his anger. It also shows development in how close he has gotten to Asirpa, and how she has given him reasons to not just kill on sight out of anger, but to care for someone else's sake. He still wants to kill him, but on his own terms, not the terms of making Asirpa help in killing someone. Its honestly a breath of fresh air for a main character like Sugimoto to be such a genuinely thoughtful guy.
cant wait till we get Ogata's "then this was all a mistake" line and i see a glorified slideshow to the beat of a radiohead song and I will eat it up
Its gotten to a point were I'm genuinely thinking about writing this but I don't have the skill or motivation
SoC AU again, long ramble about how i imagine Vasily's character in this
Vasily being the groups Fjerdan would mean that something needs to push him to defect. Just like with Matthias at the beginning who is willing to give up secrets in exchange for killing Nina, that's basically why he joins. He just sees this as an opportunity to get payback and kill Ogata at some point. He would probably enter the story already having been shot, which could be interesting in him drawing the Ice Court himself instead of verbally explaining. But he also would be somewhat duty bound to not letting parem be weaponized. I don't know how snipers work with the Fjerdans or if they are just marksman in general, but I imagine they aren't seen as the most respectable of warriors since they don't get up close to kill grisha. This and the fact that his sniper pride was greater than his patriotism (during their first duel Ogata remarks on how a sniper is motivated by just the cold ability to kill not the hatred to dive headfirst into battle, which is kinda your average Fjerdan fighting style against grisha specifically) is what lead him to defect in the original so i think that would be enough for him to leave. I also think he would have never gotten a wolf, he wasn't 'chosen' by one and he didn't really want one either which really didn't help people's opinions of him. It actually might be interesting if he never passed the bridge to become a full Drüskelle, since Matthias said your told by a superior if they liked you how to pass, and he might have not been told. But I'm not sure if that would work, and maybe he was seen as not honorable but necessary so they just let him through.
He can bond over this with Ogata when he starts complaining about how if there were more sniper groups in the war there would be less causalities.
Overtime I feel he would become closer to the crew. Friends even. He might find a reason to live that isn't killing Ogata in actually making friends and having a ride or die group. Before all he had was the Fjerdan military, but now he has actual friends. Very flawed and kinda awful friends but still. The Vasily-Ogata dynamic is like Matthias and Kaz but instead of a duo with Nina or Inej they just have eachother. And they don't make each other better, only worse. That might change eventually but definitely not at the start. Vasily might slowly put killing Ogata behind in priority while Ogata has kinda the opposite development as he distances himself more and more from the crew. I always thought it was funny how they were written so passionate when they really wanted to kill each other. So Vasily would eventually 'let go' of (killing) Ogata. Also it would be funny if he became the go to marksman of the group just because you don't have to do mind games to get him to do something and isn't an asshole about everything. Ogata will totally not take this personally.
Endgame for him would be mostly the same in that he becomes a famous painter somewhere because this Fjerdan is actually surviving.
And I also think whatever prejudice is left against grisha would be destroyed by Inkarmat by explaining the fear they hold for eachother, she also wasn't ever in the Second Army. I think they could become friends. I love found family.

Tome's face might have never been clearly shown for artistic and symbolic reasons as a flashback of someone who really wasn't there mentally. Especially from Ogata's perspective since she was so emotionally unavailable. Or maybe it's because he doesn't remember her face.
The legend of the Freischütz is a German folk tale that centers on a marksman who makes a pact with the devil to ensure his bullets never miss. He receives seven of them, with six hitting any desired target and the seventh controlled by the devil himself.
I find it so interesting how Ogata is able to accept death so quickly. Ogata does not live for any other reason then to prove non-existent people wrong and him right. He's a bit of a coward and fights dirty because he has a goal, to become leader of the 7th. But if he's given another way to die in a satisfied enough manner, he will take it. When he knew Sugimoto was going to kill him the moment he caught up, his decision to try and get himself killed by Asirpa's hand seemed to come so easily. Like he literally just said one 'poor me nothing goes my way' line then instantly went into his death monologue that was about the guilty conscious he definitely didn't have. He fought in the war just to be closer to his family, not in a good way. He plays a dangerous game while trying to take the safest routes, but when it comes down to it, all he wants is reassurance in his delusional world view whether he dies sooner or later doesn't matter too much to him. He wouldn't prefer to die before he can reach his endgame, but it's all a means to an end for personal reassurance.
Also think it's interesting that both series have a common theme in showing affection, in soc it's touch and in Gk it's food but both appear in either series
I made the au post as a joke but it's genuinely taken over my brain as I realized a lot of common things with both series, which are both some of my fav.
The main soc au group would be Tsukishima, Koito, Inkarmat, Tanigaki, Vasily, and Ogata. They are a part of a larger gang which is the 7th with Tsurumi as their leader. They would get in a bunch of side quests probably but would still break into the Ice Court for Jurda Parem secrets. Instead they are finding Wilk though and Asirpa would be the Kuwei who has information everyone wants after their father is killed.
None of the characters are really directly correlates to the crows though
Koito is official leader of the crew, kinda Jespers comedy but also the crews spider
Tsukishima is the right hand man and advices a lot of leadership decisions with Koito, the least like a crow I feel since Igogusa would be his Inej but shes long gone when the story starts
Inkarmat is a heart render who is the Nina of the crew, does fortune readings
Tanigaki is the Matthias I'd say except he's not fjerdan, the big one plus knows how to traverse the wilderness
Vasily would be the group fjerdan bent on getting back at someone else on the crew. I'm not sure how fjerdans would treat snipers but I think he'd defect on his own to hunt down Ogata
Ogata is the marksman of course and I would relate him to Kaz but he's honestly so much worse, funnily enough they both lost their brothers in very different ways
Also Ienaga is a healer who's also learned some tailoring that runs a hotel and Edogai is a durast taxidermist that is given skins in exchange for helping the 7th
I have so many more thoughts on them so I'm probably gonna post about this more but I haven't read shadow and bone yet

Thinking about how when Sugimoto's group catches up to Ogata and Kiroranke, Kiroranke dies satisfied with Asirpas help knowing it was all worth something, meanwhile just before that Ogata tried to also die with satisfaction with Asirpa in the form of her killing him and proving him right. But he survives and instead dies making her get blood on her hands like he wanted but it comes with the opposite realization to Kiroranke, that it was all for nothing and basically his entire life was a waste. Does this make sense
the batter is so funny to me but i can't think about him for too long or i'll go completely insane. this man has slaughtered hundreds of innocent people with absolutely no remorse; including a sickly child and a man he found desperately screaming for help in the middle of a subway. his one goal in life is to find the world's off switch and shut everything down for good. and also he is 1 day old and looks like this
i'm saying true things
A tiny ghost with ears vs ogata fursona plushie I think ogata claps ngl
Baldness is for nerds this is a battle to the death. If you have the same character/pfp on both platforms you have to decide which is the superior.
You have to explain your reasoning in the reblogs too
What's to become of the 7th division!? Prt. 1 of ???
Nova ref sheets, first attempt at armor designs
Some of my oldest OCs but I was too scared of armor to ever actually draw them
you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
“I’m sure you’re the same as me”
Golden Kamuy in Grishaverse AU so that Inkarmat can be the heart render to Tanigakis wilderness guy cause she and Nina are some of my favs
Not letting myself draw anything else until I finish my ref sheets for art fight I'm in hell
The coloring kicked my ass it should not have taken that long
Ready to paint >_<
