"You look hungry. Let's get you something to eat."

because Star Wars Visions season 3 is coming out soon (I hope) I am back to thinking about a GG Star Wars AU.

No I do not know much about Star Wars lore, but that's probably not gonna stop me anyways.

literally jumped out of my seat when this happened

what do you think about the anime so far? personally i’m loving it

The anime's been pretty fun (and VERY dramatic) so far! I've been doing a watch party with friends, so I definitely think that adds to the experience. I'm curious to see what direction it goes, cuz I'm hoping the rest of the characters get utilized more outside of just Sin, Unika, and Sol, but also this is their story so, it kinda makes some sense if they don't.

hello!!! I love AnBai and your work with all my heart! This is exactly how I saw them, but I couldn't implement them! THANKS FOR THAT!!

I recently realized that AnBai really remind me of the characters from Lilo & Stitch by David Kawena and Nani Pelekai. It seems to me that there is a similar dynamic in their relationship (only their homeland has not been destroyed). What do you think?

Honest to god I have genuinely thought about doing some Lilo and Stitch stuff for them, although it was mainly in the context of Baiken and Delilah as Nani and Lilo (Manager Vampire, record player, that sorta thing) But now that you mention it, Anji as David does make a lot of sense. I think if they were in a more modern world he'd probably go out of his way to make sure she had opportunities for jobs, get her to take breaks when needed, just generally be there for support without asking much in return... ...except for maybe one date, if she's up for it.

okay, this may be a bit ramble-y but I have an important question and I think you are the most qualified expert to ask!!! how would you describe Anji as a character (personality-wise)? I want to write silly little fics with him (also Baiken too because they are cute together hehe :3), but my usual method of reading the guilty gear wiki and combing through content with the character in it just ain't working this time!! anything and everything you have to say is very much appreciated ^^

Oooooh while I'm extremely flattered, I also kinda struggle with the same thing sometimes. He's a little hard to pin down personality-wise because he can be kinda all over the place in the stories and also idk if he's as fleshed out. But I can certainly try!

I'd say he's rather passionate about what he does/the things he cares about? He's lighthearted and a free spirit, but can also hunker down and get serious when it matters. He's definitely curious, sticks his nose into places it probably doesn't belong. And while he can definitely think things through and be cautious, he also just kinda does whatever he wants in the spur of the moment (ad(h)d who-)

I could also argue that he's rather secretive too? He wants to try and have the upper hand in a lot of situations, and I think that goes well with him being a trickster. But I don't think he's completely cold hearted either. He's goofy when he wants to (meeting Nago with Chipp) and earnest when it counts (Baiken.)

My best and honest advice is to both watch and read the script to the games and decide how you want to interpret him for yourself. The strive arcade mode, the few times he shows up in the strive stories, checking out the VG museum, etc etc. But assuming you've already done that, I'd also recommend reading fics and combing through some character breakdowns. @rex101111 and @elementroar do a fairly good job at that (granted a lot of it is in context about his relationship with Baiken but I'd argue that's kind of an important part of his character a little bit.) (but also that is just me so take that with some salt if you wanna)

Rex's fics and also Mundane and Lazy Life do a really good job at exploring more flawed and complex aspects of his character without sacrificing what makes him endearing. They're some of my favorite interpretations because they really flesh him out.

Hope that helps??

do you have spotify? are you aware of the anbai playlist???? 🥹🥹

I DO have Spotify but unfortunately I have not found the Anbai playlist yet, so I just went and made my own

If you possibly have the link to it I'd love to check it out tho!

if I could make an anbai ship week happen at some point I think that would be a huge personal accomplishment

with all due and sincere respect the way my brain stopped working for a moment when I stumbled on your butch anji... I'm already a darn massive fan of your anbai works, my head explodes into a cavalcade of fireworks every time I see 'em from you but DUDE D U D E THE BUTCH ANJI, DUDE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Aaaaah shucks, thank you so much!! 'Tis the power of buff women ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
