Some kind of blog...

This doodle is old!! I don't remember if I posted it earlier. So the joke is pretty clear lol.

Shachi: *flips hair* Silence 10. An 11 is speaking.

Feel free to ask me questions! I may not always be around to answer because I use social media less and less these days, but I may pop in from time to time.

So I strongly agree, I believe Angelique was an older kind of demon who's true form is not humanoid!

The thing about H4 is that while I overall did not enjoy it, I really enjoyed Valentina Vargas' exploration of this character. There is a point where I think she starts to realize she has been human so long she is developing a kind of human-emotion based free will. She wants freedom from Leviathan, I think, because she has tasted that freedom in the mortal world. there is a scene where she sheds tears in the mirror, I think, not sure if it was one of the bits cut from the final film. I believe Valentina was trying to do much more than the material allowed, which is unfortunate, because I like the idea of her being more than a femme fatale seductive demoness, but a being with desires outside of what is expected of her.

The film presents us with the idea that Angelique also remembers a time when the Labyrinth/Hell was more primal, chaotic, where the Cenobites and Pinhead come from a more "ordered" era. I have complex feelings on this idea, I kind of like it and yet I I think it does a huge disservice to Pinhead as a character, H4 was the point where they really lost the plot with him beyond recovery. So much of the movie is really about their clash of values, which I think as an idea and a plot is super interesting, just very poorly executed and under-explored, precisely because they lost the plot with his character. He's just a poor antagonist for the potential of her story because he's rendered so one-note. He doesn't have the intellectual or emotional substance to carry it.

I'm thinking about making a tattoo studio in my Hokuto no Ken sims world. Who do you think should own/work in it?

After a few years he met Solia, and they ended up opening a studio together (Purple Pain Tattoo Shop). Solia specializes in all sorts of tribal tattoos (I know he's based on the Terminator, but in my AUs Solia is of Māori descent).

Being an Italian fan has me in difficulty with original names so atm I don't remember who Solia and Sakuya are, but I LOVE the idea of tattoo shops and I find it too funny that I accidentally made up this post because I wasn't using at 100% the sims 4 new Ep I got.

About Akashachi and Kayioh I think it's a common thought in the fandom, and considered that I, number 1 Shachi lover, still call Shachi "kayiohs chew toy", I cannot disagree with your idea of making Kayioh his student xD

Are there any other characters, like the og Nanto team or also Hyou Toki and Raoh?

I was considering Amiba and Jagi for tattooing because they were filthy haha (I don't consider tattooing filthy, but I doubt doctor Toki would like to tattoo).

I love talking about AUs, if you like we can chat or I can send you an invite to my Hokuto Sims discord channel (it's actually more like a anything server but I use it mainly for my Hokuto Sims)!

Ok, adesso ho bisogno di sapere tutto del tuo AU.

Il mio è praticamente una specie di universo alternativo "normale", e ci sono tutti. (E quando dico tutti intendo veramente tutti. Ci sono addirittura i figli di Souther che erano stati creati per un gioco spin off. Ci sono le donne del castello di Han (che lavorano comunque per lui perché ha un'agenzia di modelle). Ci sono i quattro Fanti di Shin. Rihaku ha una palestra con piscina e Toh fa l'istruttrice di nuoto. Raoh lavora in polizia e fa il padre single. Ain e Bat hanno un'officina e fanno i meccanici...potrei andare avanti per ore) (Ah, Jagi fa...lavoretti. Lavoretti di cui la polizia non deve sapere. Amiba è un ex medico/infermiere che al momento fa il manager per un gruppo musicale punk)

(Per gli altri personaggi che avevo menzionato prima, Solia è uno dei generali di Gento, il tizio dei cerchi viola. Nell'anime gli hanno fatto un pessimo servizio, perché in realtà secondo me è un bel personaggio. Sakuya compare solo nell'anime prequel di Raoh, è la donna con i capelli neri che viene "assunta" come stratega da Raoh nel terzo episodio)

E comunque sì, è karma che Kaioh si ritrovi ad essere lo studente del padre di Shachi. Che poi, considerando che all'epoca Kaioh aveva circa 20-qualcosa anni, Shachi era appena un bambino. Un bambino terribile. Un bambino terribile che Kaioh avrebbe voluto picchiare, ma farlo avrebbe avuto conseguenze con Akashachi, e nessuno vuole far arrabbiare un padre pirata. XD

You're not bothering me. I love talking about Souther and the Southerlings. I appreciate that Souther got to join the club of bastard children makers alongside Raoh and Juza. It's always been my headcanon that Souther really gets around, so I find it pretty believable that he has unaccounted for heirs around. (An aside, but one commenter on a Youtube video was so in denial about them being Souther's children, he claimed they were his niece and nephew LOL). It's extra funny to me that the man who hates children got the two for one deal in the twins, Zaki and Gyaran. To preface, I found a video of the game's cutscenes, but I kinda skipped around to see what's relevant, and I can

Zaki just seems like a solid character to me. A non-derivative design, but she still has the signature of being Souther's kid. I also think it's really cool she's the one who inherits Suichoken, a rebuilding of the Nanto schools through the bloodline of one of the strongest practitioners. And she's embroiled in a classic Fist of the North Star sibling struggle, which I think works in this context. She seems great 10/10 no notes. She seems like a pretty decent female character in a series with not many strong examples. However, I think it's due to the fact that she doesn't have to be a Souther stand-in allows her to flourish.

Gyaran is definitely one of the many victims to the game's design choices to give previous canon character a new OC copy, all the way down to their design. The art style gives Gyaran no favors, and I find his massive forehead, huge eyebrows, and Souther's hairline to be rather unflattering for who I assume to be a young man. His scars are a pretty good look to distinguish him from his father however. In general, I am very critical of child characters that are carbon copies of their parents (looking at certain portrayals of adult Ryu looking exactly like Raoh).

Another goofy decision I found with his character is that he doesn't inherit Hoohken, but a completely made up branch translated as the “South Dipper Fanged Oragutan Fist” which earned Gyaran my nickname of “Monkey Son”. Maybe he's not eligible to learn Hoohken because he wasn't taught or went through the successorship trial. However, the attacks are just recolored Hoohken because that's the type of game this is. This completely clashes against the avian theme of the big Nanto branches. Ultimately, he suffers more having to be “Souther-lite” which Zaki doesn't have to shoulder.
