I have finally learned how to draw ztd Akane
(Scenes from this fic!)
I'd die at 22 to feel alive at 21
(The voting for decisions/fragment selection on this awesome ztd rewrite fic by @kayzero is happening on Tumblr now so... maybe try reading it to understand the context of this? I prommy it's worth your time pls join me)
Reading fics with friends is fun because they can mispronounce words and you can correct them in-character
(it's from @kayzero 's fic again yeah. I know It's just that... it lives rent free in my head. sorry it will happen again)
Zero Win Game | Chapter 33: Mortality
Sigma’s stoic about the situation, like usual. Junpei— “So it’s dark and wet and we have to walk to find our way out? Why not give us a fedora and set a boulder after us, huh Zero?!” Junpei’s the same as ever.

Zero Win Game | Chapter 38: Ameliorate
The heat is nauseatingly familiar. It reminds you of confinement, of a towering titan causing panic and pain for a cause only he understood. It reminds you far too much of the past. Of death. You turn towards the cold.

Zero Win Game | Chapter 39: Aberrate
You escaped the incinerator — you were rescued, you were freed, but the fire came with you, it burned you soul-deep, present in every conceivable timeline. You are scorching. You are ashes. You are dead.

He needs you to be okay
You can't answer him
You are not okay
Zero Win Game | Chapter 42: Terminal
“Akane, are you feeling okay?” You turn around to face Diana and give her a small smile. “Just thinking about the deeper nature of the puzzles we’ve been given.”

Zero Win Game | Lab Rat
“Simply amazing,” you mutter to yourself. “Amazing,” Carlos comments, and you see both him and Diana looking blankly toward each other on the camera feeds. “Because we’re in a maze? Really?” You don’t know what the problem is.

Zero Win Game | Chapter 44: Expected Results
If you think about it any longer, you’re probably not going to press it, so without further hesitation, you plunge your arm into the depths and press the shiny red button. “Quantum decompilation process canceled.” It proves itself to be a trap immediately.

Zero Win Game | Chapter 45: Unforseen Outcome
Finally, Diana looks up. Her eyes are watery, her jaw is set, and her fists are clenched, but she looks directly at the camera and shakes her head. No, she seems to say. If she doesn’t want you to push the button that would save her life, who are you to disagree?

Super fair way of doing the name picking I think what you went with worked out great ^^
The one that really gets to me that I was thinking about when I sent that was how she speaks to Maria in the Designer chapter like what she voices is just wanting to get her to comply and give back the puzzle piece but it comes across as so scathing and personal at the same time even with her barely looking at Maria to say it, evil version of what I had her tell Aoi in my own fic when they're talking about the safe ending while preparing their game like the completely different framing of the same sort of disdain at the mere concept I love you and I'm half-dead and miserable and if only you get the chance to I want you to live I'll be the most unhappy if you follow/ your brother is going to hate you if you decide following him is worth taking an innocent bystander down with you are you really that desperate. like. also her telling Sigma he should have killed himself like giiirl I. the sudden Mirakane in that chapter overshadowed it so much for me in the end but I was speechless for a good while when that happened I think I even was like okay I'll take a break and then I came back to a whole different thing happening lol she leaves the room so proud of herself for "winning the argument" with that one too I think friend said something that stuck with me also while she was mentally giving Diana shit for having anxiety and trauma and he was like girl like your brother??? who also has those things??? in a different way of course but like still???? like yeah exactly she's just like so bad about it with the way she thinks about people struggling in this way specifically and it just makes me wanna poke it and keep writing essays about it it's so interesting to me I like it there's layers upon layers to this character flaw
I don't think I ever sent you an ask about it or maybe I did but like there was a day I decided to google the name meanings for the first names you picked for the Kurashiki's parents in zwg and I was emotional about Ayaka's meaning having to do both with flowers and colors when that's a theme in Aoi and Akane's as well I was thinking how like you write their reactions to her death into their characters so well Akane's especially since that's what we got to see most of so far she clearly doesn't blame her mom but since she had Aoi to fall back on and also never did a therapy about it every other time the topic of suicide comes up it's clear that she processed it as a form of abandonment and is pretty callous about the subject I think about the Kurashiki's mother way too much my friend just played up to the coffin ending in 999 all day and I just got back home an hour ago and am woozy but need to talk about her with spoilers enabled to someone so I remembered this hi ily 🫶
hi ily2
i’m gonna be real honest i don’t remember looking very hard for their mother’s name (comparative to their father’s name, “hardworking” i think, and then. uh. another name) so it’s entirely possible that i just saw a relevant looking A name and said “yeah that one”
but yeah, akane definitely has some Issues with suicide that definitely link back to her mother. i’m sure these issues would never be exacerbated in a timeline with a rationality virus or in any other timelines haha.
Chapter 46: Monster (Newfound)
Any comparisons made to the person who kidnapped you and forced you to play a death game was going to be negative, of course, no matter how accurate they might be. (You try not to think about exactly why you hosted a death game. You try not to wonder if his reasons are at all similar.)
Read on AO3.
Burnout has me in a stranglehold, here's every chapter I have left, we'll see if I have anything to give you after everything else is done.
