Honestly curious if you would be able to rank your fave Guilty Gear relationships from favorite to least. Or at least give a top five.
I've answered something similar before on this ask, but to be honest it's kinda hard to say? I don't really have any least favorites outside of ones that make me uncomfortable for Obvious Reasons, but for the most part I'd rather not say just cuz I don't wanna be rude/hurt anyone's feelings.
howdy! I finally got an account!

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!
"You look hungry. Let's get you something to eat."
Is Into the Light by Skybreak an Anbai song? My sources say yes but my sources are also me
Looking at the lyrics I think it might be a little more on the softer side, but overall I can see where you're coming from "Snowblind, can't escape this feeling Late nights, tell me I'm still breathing No, I'm fine I just need time to find myself a way to calm my mind
Stay with me and help me ease my mind And say you'll never let me go Hold my hand and help me take this leap of faith Into the light"
every day I inch closer to using my powers for evil
what do yoy think about oc x canon/yumeshipping/selfshipping? :0
Honestly I think it's fine! Just as long as people are chill about it (same could be said with everything else about fandom culture.) It's not something I'd personally do, but that's just because I want my favs to kiss other characters and not me lol
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??
@kostecko27 Anji leave him alone...
