I was like "oh this will take a few days"

And then I bang it out in a few hours because apparently I got possessed LOL

First time writing Brutus, so I hope this is okay! Also I think very headcanon-y because Jimmy tones down the touches so much compared to the 80s. So man is *very* desperate for touches. :3

mr sexy bean jones! It's been a hot minute since those posts but I stand by them

Wow! I think maybe it's the JP fandom that likes him more, since ordinarily the western fandom seems to just kind of look over him or hate him.

I know Shinon/Rhys is popular but I don't ship them, so I don't really go into the ship rabbit hole. Since my ship for him is a huge rarepair I don't really delve into ship art with him. I'll be buying some from commissions whenever I can though! I'm definitely okay with shippy art, though I don't really see Shinon as particularly romantic.

Glad to hear someone out there loves him very much! Also happy to hear you're glad to have found me! It took me a very very long time to figure out who my favorite was from Tellius because I had so many at the top of my list, so one day a couple years ago I asked myself who I thought of first when I asked myself who my real favorite was. I figured, if I were to ask myself who my top favorite was, surely the answer was whoever came to mind before anyone else. Being more of a critical thinker with characters in fiction is probably what brought me to my conclusion.

He's one of the characters that has more implications and story hinting in his dialogue where can tell you things about his life that you don't get with every character. Reading between the lines gives you a lot of information about him, and not only do I love the content that it gives, but I love that I can think more about him in depth because of it. Some characters are more simple and speak their thoughts and feelings outright, like Marcia for instance, so there's a lot less thought provoking going on in her dialogue. I like learning things about characters through hints and evasive dialogue. Even his development comes in that form and I love that he feels like the same character in both games but you can definitely feel a difference in his demeaner.

Sure have! I couldn't find it available to watch anywhere, so I own the DVD. posts with a couple of screenshots

He's very very pretty in it, but it was a lot less interesting than I thought it would be. Not as much international spy stakes/courtroom drama/general intrigue type stuff as I hoped.

I'm partial to this one! The Dutch angle, the hot pink contrasted with the pretty side of his face, the fact that this exact shot is where he starts to come off the rails from 'executing what he perceives as blind justice' to 'actually visiting his pain upon other people' (deciding to flip his coin more than once until he gets the result he wants - just once more, then just once more, then just once more.)

Why not take my TLJ uquiz and see if you get one of them? :D

Thank you, I'm so glad you love Protocol Kappa! It is still one of the works I'm proudest of. 💛

I absolutely will write more Jay and Kay! There's at least one I have in the works from way back when, and it will be finished someday. I can make no promises as to when - as they say, the muse is fickle - but there's at least one Jay & Kay fic in my future works. (It's hella heavy on the Kay hurt/comfort, if that's your thing.)

Shinon is definitely a cat! Not the most loving and affectionate cat, but definitely a cat! A bit feisty but loves a set group of people. In fact, cats are misunderstood just like he is within the fandom LOL. I could say so much about horribly cats are misunderstood due to not being in environments where they can thrive. Poor Shinon gets stuck in that same situation with the fandom!

Shinon could also be the first red cat laguz... since the only ones close are orange. He can be unique like Ranulf. >:3

I mean hell, I accidentally manage to get Shinon in almost all of my Ranulf screenshots for RD and I do not know how that keeps happening lmao. It's like wherever Ranulf is, Shinon is always there. Lurkiiiing. In fact, they're always together in the same army in part four too lol. Do Not Separate policy is in effect for Janaff, Ulki and Tibarn, which by extension activates the Do Not Separate policy for Shinon because I can't remove Janaff and they cannot be separated.
