Hello, Vantablackdraws! Do You Have Any Other Favorite Pairs From Guilty Gear Or Other Works? If It's

Can I get a uuuuuuuh Zetsu Anji mid-transformation?

i noticed you post your art on ao3 occasionally and I’m curious if you have any GG fic recommendations? I like the majority of the cast so idc who it’s about, just curious if you’ve got any :3

I'm going to be completely honest with you here, I may not be the best person to ask for GG fic recs... because I mainly came here for one pairing and I don't really dabble much outside of that, and I'm also a bit more picky with this fandom than with others. That being said, off the top of my head I think some fics I've enjoyed reading so far have been:

Mundane & Lazy Life by somewheresometimewatching, which is a series of introspective stories of the Bedfamily's lives after Strive. I really enjoy how much thought the author's put into how they'd think and how they'd interact, it feels like a nice mix between being somewhat realistic but also true to the characters themselves. It's got a lot of heart put into it, so I'd highly recommend it if you want more bedfam content

Swipes of Sword and Fan by Rex101111, which is a drabble collection about Anji and Baiken post XX when they started traveling together. I've been reading (and re-reading and re-re-reading-) this since I first got into this fandom and went on ao3 only to be faced with like 20 fanfics-, and it's really played a hand in how I view them and their deliciously complicated relationship. They've also written some other AnBai and GG fanfics that are just as good and definitely worth checking out.

No One Like You... by Lohan3xists, which is a pretty good (and...also the only one on ao3) TestaNago fic. Basic premise is, they go on a date, but I think it manages to hit all the points of why I like them. It's sweet and playful, but also explores how they move on and live life after such a serious thing happened to them (Happy Chaos and Justice). It's a somewhat short but overall sweet read.

But I'd say just poke around a bit, and feel free riffle through my bookmarks if you wanna! There's plenty of fics out there that I haven't mentioned that are still worth checking out, even if a lot of them are kinda short. Hope that helps!

Ok three questions

How'd you get into guilty gear?

Favorite guilty gear characters outside of anbai

And any other fandoms you're especially passionate about?

Friend of mine had been playing the game for a bit, occasionally he'd talk about some of the characters during our group calls, slowly gained more interest as time went on, found out about Baiken and everything sorta went downhill from there.

Kinda hard to say? I'm horrible at picking other favorites tbh, I think a lot of the cast is pretty fun. Maybe Delilah?

aahaaaaaaa uuuuuuh lemme see, off the top of my head I like: - promare (and just a lot of Studio Trigger in general) - arcane - Dandadan - MP100 - Alien Stage - Dorohedoro - Mad Max - Star Wars Visions (very specific I know) - a lot of other stuff

Throwing my piece into Spectrolite to fool around with the colors and try to make it even more bisexual

this isnt a question but your banji art makes me want to eat glass (positive). i main both of them in strive and they are simply so so silly

Thank yoooouuuuuu!! Also don't...don't eat glass.

just gonna...leave this here....

Delilah probably? Goes to school? (Maybe she does? she has homework) so I keep thinking about her getting into like, a school play or something. They're doing hamlet, she gets the role of Claudius (Anji thinks she should've gotten Hamlet), they're going over her lines together at home and Baiken is occasionally tuning in to bits and pieces like a dad who pretends to not be interested in whatever you're watching but is still invested anyway.

Baiken: This Hamlet guy's a real piece o' work. What's his problem?

Delilah: Well he thinks his uncle murdered his father and now he's the king

Anji: And he also married Gertrude pretty quickly, so Claudius is also is his stepdad.

Baiken: You know what that makes sense.

real sleepy hours

bonuses:

Hii, i dunno if you actually care about this but i have a silly Baiken hc

So, yknow how she had ginger-ish hair in the first guilty gear game? Well, i have the hc that after that game she started to dye her hair pink for some reason that i can't actually think of

So i draw her hair pink but with ginger roots

Also, i love your art, it's so very gorgeous!!!

Honestly I think it would be interesting if she just did it purely because she wanted to/thought it looked cool. That might not fit exactly since in canon she seems like a very practical character and would probably actually view it as a waste of time, but maybe it's like a nice thing or ritual she does for herself every once in a while. It's probably a lot easier to dye your hair pink/red with some extra help (Anji) too.

i love your posts so much please don't get struck down by lightning

I make no promises
