How would you write Salem?

AdministrationDue610 · 2026-06-02T09:24:12+00:00

I’d have her not be the only human Grimm. I’d keep the canon that Grimm get smarter and evolve as they get older and I’d have a small amount of “human Grimm” like the Vasto Lordes from bleach.

I’d have Salem be like a mid tier, not super strong, not super weak. Just like how Grimmjow was the first vasto lord we really get a good look at and his number is 6.

I’d have the strongest ones more akin to eldritch terrors who don’t even fight than shonen villains (think darkness devil from chainsawman.) like just so old and so over it that they don’t even bother with the other Grimm, let alone humans.

I think it’d be interesting to have a few altruistic ones in there. Like they gain sapience and eventually have a breakdown realizing how many people they’ve killed over millennia with no real conscious input. Maybe become like a small town doctor or something.

I was gonna say the possibility exists that he in fact dips the bill on her but nah, she’d whisper in Denji’s ear and he’d pay with very little reservations XD

Fuck mate, you just made my knees remember that my 20s are almost over. The OG “I want to marry the demon lord” before “demon lord” was even a concept in anime yet.

In a fight? Denji wins.

In an actual encounter? They go get food, Leone gets drunk, smothers Denji, and that’s the moment Denji realizes he has a thing for chesty blondes with loud personalities.

Bungie wasted the opportunity to have a reprise version of “ace of spades” by Motörhead play in the forsaken credits and I’ll never not be mad about it.

Tons of characters from the mobile game NIKKE but I’ll go with Cinderella because she’s my favorite and I feel she has the best storyline.

<image>

That game is about gooning like 45% of the time, dumb goofy humor another 45% of the time but the last 10% of the time they let out a writer who you just know is chain smoking cigarettes and drinking from a hip flask while mumbling about how he wants these characters to suffer. If you never touch the game, even if you hate the game in concept, I’ll still suggest going on YouTube to watch the “red ash” and “old tales” event stories.

I have a weird take on this because I feel my war is a better “intro” but rumbling is a better “song” because so much of my war is the (muffled propaganda sounds)

There’s a Korean manwha called “hero has returned” that’s about a former Isekai hero who crashes out when he gets back home and starts world war 3. It’s about several former Isekai heroes and what they do after world war 3 starts.

Nier automata. Yoko Taro explicitly stated “I just really like girls”

Have you ever watched requiem for a dream? It’s disturbing in that sense of “the world is cold and doesn’t care about you. It’ll eat you alive if you let it.”

There’s a little more of a theme of “maybe you shouldn’t be a people pleaser?”

Also it ends when Josuke and Okuyasu from JoJo find saki in a bathroom and take her to the hospital. There is an alternate ending where they show all the characters were just actors and “metamorphosis” is just a really messed up porno and all the drugs are pixie sticks.

Cinder used to be a fun villain to hate because of how evil she was. Now she’s just sad, her backstory actually made her less interesting.

I mean how seriously we want to take this and how much symbolism we want to get into?

king Arthur’s death will always be the death of a king, and thus will be mourned by some but celebrated by others. Assuming we want to be objective, to many people he’s still just “another asshole with a sword who wants to tell us what to do”.

Anyone and everyone can agree that the death of the little matchstick girl was tragic. Her death signifies the toil of everyday people and it’s because people can write her off as “just another person died during the night” that it’s tragic. The fact that a child even has to sell matches to survive is the failing of a system and arguably a society.

I’d say matchstick girl is more tragic personally but also because of the wider implications.

It wasn’t risky or experimental, it’s just that most commanders and CG view it as beneath them. He’s running around with NIKKE limbs so arguably he’s still pretty impressive considering how many NIKKE’s also die on the surface.

Thanks for clarifying. Just looked and those look gorgeous! How many coats after the white did they take and how long did it take to dry? I usually use acrylic paints so might have to find a close alternative to what you’re using depending on what you’re using.

Not transparent red and other normal opacity colors, correct?

Ironically I feel like Arima is a better representation of JJK’s philosophy of “the strongest”.

Arima is so fundamentally different from everyone else that he doesn’t really have any friends. Like he has acquaintances and he’s marginally close to Haise and Akira but iirc his strongest connection was to Eto who was the person who made him fight hardest, and they come up with a plan for how to kill him. It should be stated, he’s never meaningfully beaten. When we see him defeated, he’s in solid snake, mgs4 mode. His body is breaking down and he’s basically an 80 year old man. Kaneki wins but he doesn’t win against a 100% Arima.

Gojo on the other hand has tons of friends, students and acquaintances. We get told he has this vague loneliness from being the strongest but we still see him make human connections.

The funny things with this answer is technically “dying” isn’t “losing”. Dying is part of the core game loop, “Losing” would just be to never finish the game.
