Happy Kagepro Day! Here are all my kagepro washi tape art that I still own! I’m thinking of selling them, but for now I hope you enjoy your summer day!
how grumpy is your yaki? exactly whats her general moral alignment?
She’s a grumpy as you would be if you had to live for a bajillion years of isolation and time loops, TWICE.
Her moral alignment is “get me out of here, i don’t really care what happens along the way anymore as long as everyone survives at the last loop. i yearn for sweet nothingness”
Oh yeah, my depiction of Yaki is kind of a jerk. She has a heart with some gold in it somewhere… somewhere.
You can read my fic Route M-X to see how I depict her lol. The way I characterize her and even her powers isn’t canon at all; it’s more of me thinking of how millenia of what seems to be an increasingly hopeless situation and being almost completely alone the whole time can really do something to you, and applying that to Yaki.
Is yaki a jerk with a heart of gold? Veciase she seems quite grumpy but with good reason.
oo Yaki ask. Are you the person who asked me Yaki questions before? I just found them all sitting in my inbox omg, I’m sorry for not answering them 😭
Yaki’s canon personality is simply complex. She estranged herself from her family because she wanted to kill one of them after being in a mental prison for millions of years and learning that a supernatural murderer is coming after them all. She took in a stranger who was sitting in the rain. She refused to engage with Shintaro because she thought he didn’t have anything to do with her problems. She wanted to save everyone, except Marry. She tried to manipulate her little brother that she knew dearly loved her to kill their little sister. She changed her mind and decided that she wants to save everyone, except herself.
And now she’s not even human anymore, and her only point of contact is a boy she fell in love with only days after meeting him, when he’s dead, and he never, ever remembers who she is when they meet. And he doesn’t even know her as her, but as a mirror of someone else.
So uh. Actually based on her dialogue I wouldn’t call her a “jerk with a heart of gold” though you can still get some vibes of that from scenes when she’s human. As a snake, though, I would call her more like a “cryptic know it all” LOL. In the manga, novel and anime, in most of her scenes she asks Shintaro to remember her and is very mysterious about it, but she also seems to be enjoying herself, for some reason. Maybe that’s just because she’s happy to see him.
