[IMEEJI] Question Meme

[rollwillpowercheck]

I'm notoriously bad at these but I also have nothing else to do today. So feel free to ask me any burning questions you have about Anubis/his impressions of people and stuff/whatever, and I'll ask you a question back. And then we can keep going until I inevitably wander away.

(disclaimer: I'm going to be taking a nap so answers will not appear right away.)

Persephone thinks Anubis is the calmest, most stable, most reasonable out of all of their unit. In terms of "who can he rely on in a crisis", he probably would go first with Anubis (and then Lucifel), both of them nearly tied. He does, however, think Anubis is too trusting and too soft and is very Concerned for him on that front: Persephone is kind of distrustful of people in general and was pretty surprised with how the trust game turned out.

For his part, Persephone is kind of aware of his separation from people, even the (few) people he likes: the two memories he's gotten back so far have kind of given him the impression that he was a very solitary person and didn't really have friends. What's a friendship? So Anubis's ease with people is kind of something he...envies is too strong a word, but somewhere on that spectrum? Persephone isn't jealous but it's kind of something he wishes he could do/know more about?


So does Anubis have any crushes or anything like that?

everyone on sensitiv seems to be worried about everyone else and it's cute...

CRUSHES THO. God. Okay. It's hilarious because 99% of the time when I play Bakura Ryou he's focused on SO MANY OTHER THINGS that stuff like "oh hey they're hot" is a thought that occurs periodically but is then generally ignored because it's not a priority. The problem with Imeeji is that: 1) everyone is hot, 2) there's a lot of downtime where it's impossible to do anything about the ACTUAL REAL IMPORTANT PRIORITIES of getting info/keeping everyone safe/working on some means of escape plan. So #2 results in more time to notice #1.

Anubis gets attached to people pretty easily and he has AT LEAST a friend crush on a bunch of people. sensitIV in general is dangerous territory for those feelings to slip over into straight-up crush territory. He would absolutely be up for experimental makeouts with everyone on sensitIV because whew ////. The only one he's unsure on is Santa, and that's because he's like... "do the facts that I care about her and she's very pretty and her being a robot is extremely cool balance out the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm gay?"

Outside of sensitIV, he's sort of drawn to people with strong personalities? For example, Boss, Intensity, and Phoenix have all made strong impressions on him. That's not at crush level, though.

And then there's Nine, who has probably inspired the most dokidoki feelings FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM. Right now Anubis is firmly in "feeling like something your twin did for you is a romantic gesture and thinking about kissing him is only weird if HE thinks it's weird and at this point it hasn't come up between us so whatever" territory.

WHAT ABOUT PERSEPHONE. Does he have a crush on or feel (romantically or otherwise) attracted to anyone?

[forgottenmercy]

Persephone is like primarily Really Attached to sensitIV, in the romantic and otherwise sense. Like if he's crushing on anyone, it's sensitIV (though it's more a very deep Friend Crush on Santa, since he's Pretty Gay and all. He'd still probably make out with her if she wanted though).

His feelings re: Kazuebiko are kind of complicated? Like I wouldn't call it a crush, per se, but it's probably the closest thing other than sensitIV to that point?

He's also (probably) going on a date with H, but that's not at all about attraction and more about like...fun?

Least favorite person he's met so far?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Oooooh, tough one. Anubis has mostly liked everyone he's met, or at least found them non-offensive. I think it's probably a tie between Okami and Cardigan because of their reactions to the first trauma game. Okami was obviously picking a fight and started off with some low blows. Even after Anubis explained sensitIV's reasoning, he was more focused on the fact that some people had wanted to play harder than others. Which set off a lot of protective alarm bells, like, what, you think I'm gonna throw someone in my unit under the bus for you?

He would have been fine with Cardigan's anger because, yeah, it was a shitty situation and people got hurt... except the longer they talked, the less charitable he started to feel. The nail in the coffin was Cardigan framing Anubis' statement that sensitIV was going to take responsibility for their actions as a "martyr complex"... right after saying that they basically expected sensitIV to purposefully injure themselves, then heal themselves, and THEN heal the other teams. If Loki hadn't stepped in, things might have gotten nasty.

Speaking of which, what's Persephone's take on being the designated healer team?

[forgottenmercy]

Persephone is normally pretty fine with being Designated Healer since atm he likes being useful and it's a way to help take care of the rest of the unit (and without having to be at anyone else's mercy). That being said, shit like what Cardigan said is what he kind of objects to about being the healer team, the expectation that of course they should be good sacrificial maidens who let themselves be hurt and then of course heal everyone else. It's like, who is that good of a person besides like HSS to do that without complaint? Oh, yeah, sorry, you can't protect yourselves because you have the power to heal. It's unfair and hypocritical.

Like he acknowledges that they're privileged because they can fix the damage that they do but at the same time, it's not fair to hold them to an impossible standard that most people can't even do just because they have healing powers. And on a pragmatic level, it's just stupid to expect them to get hurt, heal themselves, and then heal everyone else every time because first that means everyone else has to wait while they heal themselves (unless the expectation is that they just heal everyone while still fucked up themselves which is doubly unfair) and second that'll just compound their trauma and make them less able to, you know, do their job?

Basically it's not the Designated Healer Team that bothers him, it's...other people.


Do you have any songs that you associate with Anubis?
