you're never going to believe this but all my thoughts on this r related to Gender again

beyond just the barefootedness lol they're both kind of weird outsiders even among martial artist technician wrestlers, their styles are pretty singular. nobody does it the way she does it which when its a woman is seen fundamentally differently than if youre a guy* and the way that speedball is gendered as guy* is highly conditional and I think is essentially shifted for their heel presentation

was talkin last night abt the way marina is with gender like. shes in a stable with all dudes, dresses less flamboyantly than any of the other women, uses 'mothers milk' & gets called a 'matriarch' but isnt really mothering (if anyone in dr is its claudio lol) she just uses motherhood as an aesthetic, a tool, a taunt. she yells at people to do better. shes the mother that punishes you for a bad report card. she wants you to always be improving & learning.

the match I have seen between them is rly fun but also notably while speedball isnt doing their heel presentation for the audience, they do some of the taunting they tend to do just for marina. at one point shes expecting them to do a topé sui and they just hit the ropes to do a little flip and bow just to piss her off. this is done in a friendly way, kind of to say 'youre taking this too serious'

marina did mma but is known for judo & bjj specs, speedball did tkd but also has been learning more judo & bjj lately...

I don't know how his meeting with Otis himself would go. Otis is of course so nice and polite, unless you give him a reason to hate you, but Jonathan, depending on the version of course, can be very rude and reserved. At least he wouldn't say anything about how dirty Otis is, because he's against judging people by appearance, so there's that.

Thank you so much if you draw it <333 I love it when you do request!! Yippee!! <333 I hope you still find moments to rest even if work is hectic!!! <33

I think it depends on what 'Mother' tells him, but other than that, he can have his own feelings involving a person.

I think it's instinctive for him to be mean as a defense mechanism, as its one that Sephiroth wasn't allowed to express: he had to be compliant in many ways.

So in that vein, Kadaj's mental/emotional walls are pretty high at first, but.. Maybe it's something about reading minds or sensing intent, whether a ability tied to Jenova or not.. He can sense when someone is kind, gentle or a vibe he wants to be around..

Doesn't always make it easier to let his walls down, but I'm sure he would be willing to test the waters, and go from there..

So many and not enough time :(

I have a bunch of oc stuff lined up and won’t even bother starting my leader whump stuff again until it’s done. My wips are getting ahead of me and I don’t want any of them to die
