#tomogui

so they're obviously post-canon and they're all based off versions of them from my fic that i still havent made any more progress on sorry theres like 3 chapters of content so far and theyre not consecutive

if you haven't already seen me talking about my fic it's t4t kanoshin where kano approaches jun (shin) after starting to question her gender and ultimately jun supports kano in becoming shoko, also they fall in lesbians with each other in the mean time. jun is nonbinary and actually prefers she and they but you can only pick one for tomogui (shrug emote that i am too lazy to copy/paste). shoko is far more binary-aligned about her approach to womanhood and i look forward to writing the contrast in their experiences if i ever actually write more lol

at the start of the fic, kido (who at some point preferred they/them but reclaimed her womanhood a la shissou word) and momo are engaged and planning their wedding. seto and marry are cohabitating and romantically involved somehow i think? but not sure on the details of their relationship yet. takane and haruka are dating, maybe open? takane is a she/they/it type digital nonbinary situation. not really sure how either of them relate to their haze powers now but i'll explain their mii designs in a bit

saeru isn't really present, other than maybe a flashback at some point, but i put him there for ayano, who died 3 years prior to the beginning of the fic and the trauma from her toxic relationship with jun is a big source of conflict in the fic. azami also won't show up but i Like Her and i needed one more :] and of course, last in that group image is @fishmass 's chud tuxedo who i adore, his mii was a collective effort between us. cat tax will be added as a reblog bc i'm out of images

as far as what they're doing in their adult lives:

as has been my fanon for a long time thanks to that one panel of shin with the vocaloid editor open, jun wrote all the kgpr songs and is decently famous online for it. shoko has been working on and off at part time gigs and gambling, and both kido and seto probably have put a decent amount of money into getting her out of financial trouble. she's also a heavy drinker at the start of the fic. kido works in an office, seto has continued blue collar work (but unsure what sort, potentially a mechanic?). momo retired from idol work and is now a popular streamer and influencer, marry is a librarian. haruka did the art for jun's videos, but his main profession is as a male model. takane is a vtuber and uses ene as her avatar - unsure if she just has a model drawn by haruka or if she uses snake powers. last thing i remember it was pretty contested whether they kept their powers post-str but i never finished the manga, only what was out at the time, and havent read the novels... so that's tbd

as far as their designs:

"jun" is a unisex name and, this is from a decade ago, but i remember at least sharing meanings with some readings of "shin"? i'd have to figure out what kanji it was i remembered being able to be read both as "jun" and "shin" if it exists. she grows out her hair but still prefers basically the same clothes, with some maxi skirts added in. basically, whatever's comfy. she wears light makeup sometimes.

"shoko" was actually a placeholder name and is still up to be changed, i wanted her to pick a "-ko" name because of the whole "women must have -ko names to marry the emperor" giving way to lots of -ko women's names. she wants nothing more than to be a "normal girl" and be treated as such by the people around her, likes dressier clothes so lots of blouses and dresses, always wears heavy makeup.

ayano had really bad ptsd from being trapped in the haze and it combined with her existing depression. for years i've had a concept of shinaya where shin is a schoolteacher and caretaker for ayano, they're married, have 3 kids, and ayano gets worse; that's more or less been adapted to fit this fic, minus the kids.

saeru is mainly just kuroha's design (really not sure how that fits in with haruka but it doesn't matter bc he won't appear in the fic)

kido i named kido because originally her mii was a they/them lesbian who just went by her surname, and her current feminine iteration happened after momo rejected her in game; now i've reconceptualized my fic version to match and imagine her as basically a "desister" (though she doesn't identify with or use that word, and has probably never heard it).

momo is just older, she likes "american" style clothes (ball caps, sportswear, athleisure, etc.)

marry, too, is basically just her canon self. i imagine her collection of dresses has gotten bigger and that she basically only wears dresses.

seto grew a beard, i have him as kousuke because i imagine by this point he wouldn't be going by his surname. i've mostly been giving him canon-like clothes or work clothes. yes he has a pet dog

takane dyes their hair, that's why i have it gradient blue and their eyes are brown. they also got facial piercings. i might or might not be entering my takane era

haruka i know seems to have white hair in some post-str art but i'm still on the "when haruka merged with the konoha body it took on traits of both" train. his design is based off frames from str. back in the day we used to talk about what condition he might have and at some point whatever group i was part of landed on marfan syndrome, so that's what i'm going with here. he has to be careful not to overexert because his health gets worse with stress, since he's seen in a wheelchair in str i'm going off "his condition got better but didn't go away". i also read that japanese marfan syndrome patients tend to have less skeletal abnormalities and more vascular abnormalities so i figure that's reasonable enough?

azami's design is based off various pics of her but primarily the manga. the white in her hair comes from art of her by hakuri

about their (in-game) relationships:

shoko and jun are Finally dating. it's going okay. kido and momo are also Finally dating after momo dated and broke up with cordelia dead estate. i have painstakingly crafted crushes from seto > marry and takane > haruka, but marry and haruka started dating Basically Immediately on creation and have not stopped (despite my efforts ;o;). saeru is best friends with Everyone for some reason, ayano is in toxic yuri with kafu (as previously mentioned im sure). azami is very single and mr chud is very gay (not many options on dyke city, poor man).

so with most of these they're just based off the box design, usually with a preference for the oldest design, but with some exceptions. for their birthdays i tried to use their original release date, if possible, with the year varying based on whether it'd make them an adult.

kaito and meiko are both based off their v1 box designs, with their v4 super pack designs serving as guidance. luka is based almost entirely off her initial v2 design. rin & len are primarily based on their super pack designs iirc (thus blonde brows)? gakupo is based off his v3/4 designs with native as the primary. ia was based completely off her v3 standard design. flower IS technically based off the more well-known v4 design despite the result's striking similarities to the v3 designs... kafu was primarily designed after her cevio box design.

miku is the biggest exception because she was the first i made, she's specifically modeled after DUNE miku! she even has a custom jacket, one of if not the very first custom clothing i made and you can tell.

and then gumi and teto are both by @fishmass with teto's design based on birdbrain. idrk what that means since i don't really dip my toes much into the english side of the fandom, not since ghost back in the 2010s, but that's what i'm told :v

now, about their relationships...

meiko was rejected by kaito in favor of acorn, a plushie (see previous post). they have a son (he'll show up in intros: 4!). miku and rin FINALLY started dating each other yesterday after at least a week of mutual crush. len is married to sayaka pmmm (see prev). gumi has a crush on luka (i support them), ia has a crush on flower (i double support them). kafu is in the most toxicest of yuris with ayano kagepro (who we'll talk about in intros: 3). and teto and gakupo were the first couple to marry on my island, with a record 12 hours of dating prior to marriage. they have a stupid gen alpha son who's addicted to vtubers, he'll also show up in a later intro post.
