Saito - Tumblr Posts
I drew this on January 23 for a challenge on the dA forums where you had to draw something in 10 minutes, and, since you guys liked the last 10-minute sketch of Aerith I did yesterday for my friend's b-day, I thought you might also like to see this quick portrait of Saito Hajime, one of my favorite Hakuouki characters! 🌸💕
I hadn't posted it until now because I was planning to display it together with the full version (lineart/coloring/shading) in a few months, but the reception you gave to my last sketch motivated me to share it earlier! 😉👍
P. S. The tip of my previous digital pencil was still broken when I drew this, lol, so I had to draw it with the eraser and that's why the strokes look a bit wonky. 😂

Day 26: If each character was a snack food, what snack would they be?
Cobb: Muddy buddies/puppy chow. I have a lot of good memories of making these with my family. They're easy enough that you can whip up a batch quickly with/for kids. (or if you're also the dad friend of the group)
Arthur: These things. You can't eat just one. Befote you know it you've shoved all 30 into your mouth in one sitting. You still feel good about yourself though, because they're just so tasty.
Ariadne: Angel food cake. Toeing the line between 'snack' and 'dessert' but I, for one, am completely incorrigible and will eat it any time so I think it counts. Light and fluffy and goes great with pretty much any topping. Especially homemade whipped cream. Mm.
Eames: Pigs in a blanket. Easy to make, but absolutely essential. When I walk in to any social gathering and see these, it's going to be a good time no matter what. My team lost the Super Bowl? Well, I know nothing about sports and I've eaten like a dozen pigs in a blanket so it's still a pretty good day for me.
Yusuf: Cold rotisserie chicken straight out of the fridge at 2 in the morning. A snack for when you're up because you're doing something too important for things like sleep or cooking so you're just grabbing whatever food you have in the house.
Saito: Freeze dried mango slices. They're expensive as all get-out, but they're probably one of my favorite snacks. Well worth the price, even if I feel bad about spending so much money on them afterwards.

more catching up to do!
Day 03: If Inception were a musical, what song would you want to be in it? Who would be singing it to whom?
I don't know if they want to be tagged, but aflour put down some Lord Huron songs for this and they're so right about that. As soon as I finished Inception the first time, I sat down and pulled up The Stranger.
It fits Dom so well.
"I can't trust anyone or anything these days / If you are who you say you are then show your face."
In all his dreams, Cobb can't see his children - he looks away from the projections of them when Mal tries to make him stay with her. He'll only let himself see their faces when he gets home to his real children.
"Came out of the ocean like you came out of a dream / Your voice, it sounds familiar, but you are not what you seem / All your words of comfort cannot take away my doubt."
Limbo is always envisioned as a beach you wash up on, coming out of the ocean. And then Cobb creating a projection of Mal who tries to cajole him into staying with her.
"I know enough to say you are not what you claim to be / So I've kept close watch upon you and I don't like what I see / Can't escape the feeling that you'll get me in the night / Well, I sleep with one open, I am not afraid to fight"
The memory prison he keeps for Mal, where he watches over the projection, and her lashing out at him while he does dreamshare jobs.
"Now that I have seen your face / I'm haunted by the letters of your name."
This repeats at the very end of the song, and the music is almost cheery here, compared to the rest of it. This would be when he finally makes it home and is able to see his children's faces again.
I think Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men also relates pretty well to his relationship with Mal!
If we could get a scene with Saito in Limbo, Lonesome Dreams might be nice. That's also a Lord Huron song.

Day 06: A headcanon about the dreamshare team.
If they're all hanging out in the same place for whatever reason, they'll sometimes play a game or two.
Saito is scarily good at Monopoly and Risk because he plays them exactly the same way he runs his business in real life. A game with him never lasts more than 45 minutes.
All of them cheat at card games. Cobb doesn't tend to cheat, and Arthur will play fair for Cobb's sake, but they both have to give up on their morals if they want to stand any chance of not losing all the time. Somehow, Ariadne always wins Uno. No one's quite sure how she does it.
Eames takes Cluedo far too seriously. You can tell exactly how far along they are in the game by how frantically he's pacing and gesturing.
Yusuf insists on playing Scrabble, and it turns out that it's just because he really enjoys humiliating everyone else at Scrabble.
They tried to play Sternhalma/Chinese Checkers once. It ended in a stalemate so bad that they never tried again.

Day 12: What is each character like when they get drunk?
Saito is really good at hiding how drunk he is, up to a point. After that, he'll still try to act normal, but it's hard to pretend like you're ok when you're slurring your words so badly no one else can understand you.
Cobb definitely cries a lot. At first, it's super depressing, but as he gets better (and goes to therapy) it becomes more of "I love you guys so much 🥺🥺🥺😭" and weepy hugs.
Eames will start buying them all drinks or food. It's nice at first but they quickly learn they have to take his wallet when he starts drinking so he doesn't end up spending hundreds of dollars on bar food.
Ariadne is the classic giggly drunk. She spends most of her time talking to whoever will listen about literally anything. It takes a lot longer for her to get drunk than anyone else - not because she holds alcohol better but just because she hardly stops talking long enough to take a drink once she's started.
Yusuf starts to open up a lot more. He's not as emotional as Cobb or as talkative as Ariadne, but he's more chill. If they need a designated driver, he volunteers, but usually Saito pays people to drive them.
Arthur just gets really sleepy and quiet. He admires Saito's ability to power through alcohol, but he just can't do it. By the end of the night he WILL fall asleep face down on the bar or on someone's shoulder.

Day 15: Your favourite romantic pairing.
I am quite firmly of the opinion that they would all be together. There's more than enough tension there to go around, and after everything that went down, I think they all deserve as much love as they can get. The only issue I can think of with this is I don't know if there are many beds big enough for six people, but two of them are architects and one of them can pay to have things custom-made so I think they'll figure it out.
If I have to choose just one, it'd be Saito and Cobb. The parallels between his relationship with Mal and his relationship with Saito make me swoon every time. 😍

Day 17: If you could change anything about Inception, what would it be?
In the scene at the airport, Cobb gets one last look at everyone - except Saito, who is speaking on the phone. I think they need one more longing gaze into each other's eyes to complete the set.
@inception30daychallenge
Day 18: A rumour about Saito that the team thinks might be true.
That he has several illegitimate children. There's really no way to tell either way if it's true or false without a lot of very invasive investigating, but Cobb points out that Saito is great with James and Phillipa, and absolutely loves spending time with them, so if he had any children there's no way he'd rather hide it than be a good father.

Day 30: A self-rec! (anything from art to a funny Tumblr post you made!)
I'm really new to the fandom so all I have is some (read: as many as I'm allowed to put) incorrect Inception quotes from the incorrect quotes generator.

Day 20: A headcanon about your favourite pairing.
They all travel for business often, so they keep a handful of safehouses/apartments in major areas. These get covered wall-to-wall in little post-it notes they leave each other.
Highlights include:
Cobb,
I saw some interesting buildings downtown. Left you sketches of my favorites. You should totally check them out!
- Ariadne
___
Tried to catch the spider that was in the corner. It escaped and now I can't find it. If I don't make it, know I love you. God save us all.
Eames
___
The bowl outside is because I saw a stray dog. There is a bag of dog food in the cupboard. If you don't feed him you are a bad person
Yusuf
___
Arthur & Saito,
There's an art museum in this town. Left you the flyer. You two should check it out.
Cobb
___
Cobb,
Thanks for the recommendation. We had a great time. Got souvenirs for everyone, they're in the box.
Love,
Arthur
Saito
Finally manage to crop out these sassy progenitor vampires from the OnS magazine cover image for my tablet home screen background and Tumblr blog. Here it is (*^ーﾟ)b From left to right : Urd Geales, Crowley Eusford, Lest Karr, Ferid Bathory, Saito Anime/Manga : Owari no Seraph
Who wants to be whipped by flat-chested loli too? :)
