woah these look incredible ‼️

My friend "A" and me were working on Brooklyn and Takao, now they need to dry and then they will get some color (And Brooky will get his belt too), but I'm so in love how they all look together (Evallina's big brother will get a figure too - and we need to fix Evallinas hair color, it got a bit too dark when it was dry…)! (◍•ᴗ•◍) ❤

favourite time of the year !!

Here is the list of prompts for this year's MayBlade event! Huge thanks to all the people who submitted their ideas - I didn't use all of them, especially if they were too similar to another idea, but I will keep them for the future. The "unpopular character" prompt returns as per request (also, because there are some characters who really deserve more love)

As per last year, you do not have to follow the prompts and you can join two events if you're doing MerMay etc. The prompts are just to inspire, but all the other ideas are welcome. You can also use prompts from last year.

If you participate, remember to tag your posts with "mayblade 2023" so I will be able to find and reblog it :)

Hello there, Beyblade fandom!

We are slowly getting closer to May and MayBlade will be happening again. The rules stay the same as last year. There will be a new prompt list that I will post probably last week of April. Until then, if you have any particular prompt ideas you'd like to see included - send them here in an ask or a PM. Don't worry if I don't reply immediately as I'm rarely on tumblr recently, but I will be checking for messages regularly!

Thank you so much for being interested in MayBlade ❤

-Mod Akemi

UPDATE: The prompt list will be published earlier in April as it was made clear to me last week is too late for everyone to get ready.

V-force content from Beyblade World has now been uploaded to the Drive.

As mentioned before, the above link will feature all the content uploaded on the Beyblade World website that is permanently shutting down on 31st March'23.

Content from Season 2/V-force has now been added, including character art, representative episode screen grabs, DVD art, calendar art and character style sheets. Additionally, there is a doc which features all the textual content like character profiles and episode summaries in Japanese.

This took more time because unlike Season 1, they've uploaded multiple representative episode grabs for this (the folder has more than 200+ images) so it was a very time-taking and monotonous process. I fear I may not have enough time to get done with everyone's favourite child aka G-revolution before the site shuts down because of course, it has similar if not more amount of content.

Sorry, I'll definitely try my best to get everything though!

An example of what you can find in the archive:

one year since i drew a feral beyblader (tala/yuriy over at @yucadoodledoo) and i have some ideas for the next one — feel free to suggest in the comments too!!

[doppelspinsandtopples]

Hi everyone

I want to go back into my fandom activities, and I thought that a very low-stakes and fun way of doing so would be to open my ask box for moodboard requests :)

Here are some examples of some of the past ones I made:

Info:

Drop me an ask/message/reply for your favourite pairing, information about your OC, link to your fanfic, name of your favourite character. As of now, I'm only doing Bakuten Shoot Beyblade related requests :)

And of course, please reblog so it reaches more people to request ^^

Neoborg goes on a road trip

Tala/Yuriy:

sitting in the front seat for sure

in control of the music, but does take requests so everyone’s happy (spotify premium user i said what i said)

flips off (and screams at) the cars that tailgate them/flash their high beams/speed and almost hit them

“FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT DUMBASS!”

Bryan/Boris:

“pull over i gotta pee” *went to the bathroom 10 mins ago*

always gets a large icee at the gas station. takis too?? hot cheetos?

does the running fingers thing on his window to pass time

passes out and snores louder than the music, wakes up to pictures ian took of him on his phone

Spencer/Sergei:

drives throughout the whole trip, not because he wants but because he doesn’t trust anyone else with the job

does the “dad tax” hand reach when everyone has their snacks

constantly telling everyone to get off their phones and enjoy the view

“man foot’s starting to cramp up” “if you want i-” “no”

Ian/Ivan:

1000% an ipad kid for sure

let him have his arizona tea, gas station nachos, and big ass headphones. he’ll be content the whole ride

brings his switch as well to play and subjects everyone else to his commentary (swearing)

“take that exit i’m hungry!… i know we stopped 20 minutes ago!”

Kai:

slept through the whole trip

noise cancelling earbuds, eye mask, neck pillow, and scarf becoming a makeshift blanket

will get a coffee but absolutely no gas station snacks, meal preps beforehand

“WHO took my laneige lip mask!?”

Tala/Tyson headcanons

I posted about this ship and was asked to talk about my headcanons! (sorry it took so long lmao) So just my usual FYI but yes I very much lean more into the manga personalities rather than the anime ones. This is very much the case for Tala who I have written about quite a few times before! Also sorry In advance I sometimes keep switching from Japanese to English names lmao.

· .*How I could imagine them getting together*. · 

Tala wouldn't realise he was crushing on Tyson for a long time. He’s too caught up in his rivalry, not realising that his weird need for Tyson's focus and attention isn't purely about blading. Also he's dumb and bad at feelings.

Tyson being the disaster bi he is goes through a stage where he just crushes on everyone for a while. Most notably Kai but also every one of the bladebreakers at one point in time lol. But as Kai hangs out more with Neoborg in turn Tyson and the others end up spending more time with them too.

During this time finally interacting with Tyson without tournaments in the way and no need to be competitive outside of having fun is where Tala's jealousy streek starts to come into play. Tournaments are one thing but Kai getting all of Tyson's attention all the time outside of that? Nope, he's not having it. He still hasn't quite figured out he actually *likes* Tyson at this point though lol. He ends up purposefully initiating fights just for attention. 

Tyson always up for a challenge, plays along and this is where his own crush starts to develop. I mean Tala is HOT but completely unreachable before now, the attraction was there but feelings start to grow. Also like when does Tyson back down from a fight?

The other guys figure it out pretty quickly, Max is like a radar for this sorta stuff lol. He calls Tyson out on it who finally admits he very much humours Tala just to spend time with him, also that he finds battling Tala exciting and he wants to get to know the guy better.

On the flip side Bryan realises that Tala is acting weird even for Tala, he sorta sussed it out but does not tell Tala, boy needs to figure it out on his own. He's rooting for them tho lmao. Just a little nudge here and there. “Oh going to see your boyfriend again?" 😏

The next tournament happens and Max, being the best wingman is pretty much glued to Neoborg and drags Tyson along with the excuse that they all just wanna hang out with kai. This is where Kai is finally told about Tyson's crush (from Max) and he ends up figuring out about Tala’s side too. He thinks they're both stupid, especially Tala who STILL hasn't figured out he's now HARDCORE crushing on Tyson.

Cue Tala's jealousy streak hits hardcore when the tournament is in its late stages. Sorry Tala but Kai is Tyson's real rival you can't change that. He can't stand Kai being in the spotlight right now and he doesn't understand why because he never had a problem with it before. So screw it. This is where he goes to find Tyson after his and Kai's match, purely on autopilot he pushes him against a wall and just kisses him. Almost gives Tyson a heart attack in the process. And finally. FINALLY, this as he's kissing Tyson is where Tala finally is like: 'OH! I like Tyson😱 FUCK'

It would take a while for them to actually be like a “couple” and even then it would very much be on the down low, never public. I mean real-world problems aside (I simply do not really like writing or thinking about these anyway) I very much just feel like Tala is a very private person when it comes to feelings and would not want the public to know about his business. But here are some headcanons for them actually dating: 

· .*Relationship headcanons*. · 

Tala is very possessive, like to the EXTREME. Tyson actually likes this to a point. Thing is this boy has a dead mom and the rest of his family (other than his grandpa) are constantly leaving, this boy has abandonment issues. He hates the idea of people leaving him or becoming uninterested in him, so to have someone so aggressively want him he likes it…a lot. But it is a problem so they do try and work on this lol. Tala does eventually calm down but he has his own issues regarding this. He very much is unwilling to let things he considers important go, this is the main reason he sticks with his team. It's very much a “this is mine and you can't have it 😡 ” mentality.

Being with Tyson mellows out Tala a lot, I mean it's hard to be around someone like Tyson and not just learn to chill out a bit. I mean mellow for Tala is still really high-strung for most people but hey it’s progress! In turn, Tyson matures a bit more, because Tala won't ever let him talk his way out of something he learns to take responsibility better. They also bond over very brief and highly glossed over talks about their trauma, turns out they have a few points they can relate over. Tyson is relieved he can finally talk to someone about this sorta stuff and not feel judged and Tala is thankful that Tyson never pushes him to reveal more than he's comfortable with.

Tala is the one to bridge the language gap between them and learns Japanese. Dude is like a genius so it's not that hard for him. He doesn't even tell Tyson he’s learning it, he just busts it out one day just to style on Kai. Russian on the other hand Tyson can't wrap his head around, but not for lack of trying. He knows how to say a few words but that's it, he learns to listen for certain words when others are speaking around him tho. He ends up being able to pick out quite a lot of words for everyday things (and a lot of bad words lmao thank Bryan and Ian). Tyson really likes Tala's accent in both English and Japanese, he also loves hearing him speak in Russian. He gets Tala to read to him in Russian sometimes normally just whatever Tala happens to be studying at the time.

Tala is quite anti-touch with pretty much everyone other than Bryan or well, he is at first. They have to work on that and it's torture for Tyson to start with, guy is very touchy-feely and affectionate! Tyson gets it though, Tala needs time to come out of his shell and he lets him and gives him space, only initiating physical contact every now and then or so he thinks. From Tala's point of view, Tyson is attached to him 24/7, glued to his back like a little monkey and it's overwhelming. In the beginning he even has to distance himself a few times, he gets better at it as time goes on though. And I mean Tyson is so soft and nice to hug? What is this? Soft and casual physical affection. Disgusting, he wants more.

As the relationship goes on Tala gets more secure in it and it becomes familiar and normal, routine. He mellows out but one thing he can't put a damper on is his jealousy towards kai and at times the other BBA members, he just quietly seethes a little and it's probably the only time he ever gets physical around others. He very much will wrap a protective arm around Tyson if he thinks one of them is getting a bit too friendly, he wants Tyson's attention. The worst culprit of this is Kai who he very much feels he's competing with sometimes. He’s not insecure about himself or anything he just has a problem because he wants to completely monopolise Tyson when he has the free time to actually be around him.

This is very much a relationship that could turn really ugly real fast. You would think Tala's possessive and jealous behaviour and Tyson’s own insecurities sorta encouraging it would lead to something bad happening…but it never does despite them walking a very thin and dangerous line for quite a while. This is mainly because both of them acknowledge that they have these problems and are aware of when they are doing it. At the beginning of the relationship (when the problems were the worst), Tala hadn’t actually intended this to even be a relationship, thinking it was just something he needed to get out of his system. But the longer he spent with Tyson the more and more he caught real-ass feelings. It’s something that creeps up on him one night when he finally realises that he's actually trying to better himself for Tyson. Has a bit of a freak-out over that realization but gets over it LOL

When it comes to the other members of Neoborg all of them are a bit weirded out it's Tyson of all people but after they get over it they are happy Tala finally found someone, they really weren’t expecting that. Also, they are a bit relieved that it's actually someone nice XD The one who is the most worried about the relationship is actually Spencer who is worried he is going to hurt Tyson and in turn hurt himself in the backlash should that happen. Still, he feels he isn't one to question Tala's life choices. The borg boys are surprisingly nice to Tyson for fear of Tala's wrath only Tala is mean to Tyson Tyson and Ian even strike up an unlikely friendship because of this.

On Tyson's side, while a little unsure his friends are pretty supportive especially when it comes to Tyson dealing with Tala's uglier aspects. His grandfather is nervous about Tala too (I mean he saw what happened in s1 lol) but wants Tyson to be happy. He will warm up to the redhead once Tala proves he's not going to rip Tyson's heart out and stamp on it, takes a while tho (cuz at the beginning Tala thought he was going to do that himself lol). Tala on the flipside finds Tyson's grandfather real weird and also a little intimidating? XD Tala is also big on the Hiro hate train, both for his actions in Bega but also just cuz he's a shitty ass brother to Tyson. He however mostly keeps it to himself because it would be like if Tyson started randomly hating on Bryan or Spencer which he would hate. This does lead to some pretty awkward and interesting family dinners at the dojo.

Well that's it for now. If you've read all this well done! You should join the Tala/Tyson cult Ship! Go read my Mini fic Fire on Ao3 here lmao.  Art is from this doodle here. When it comes to ships I have way too many thoughts so yeah If your gonna ask me about my headcanons expect an essay back XD That being said if you want an essay feel free to ask my opinion lmao.

"so what's bakuten shoot beyblade about"

[doppelspinsandtopples]

I thought it would be fun, until I had to do Yuriy's hair... 😑😑

[doppelspinsandtopples]

Huevember Day 18! It’s Yuriy “can make a pocket dimension on demand” Ivanov.

I won’t lie, I rushed a lot of this. The idea was for S1 Yuriy to hang out in his own little pocket dimension with Wolborg, but unfortunately time did not allow for it. The ice was pretty rushed too.
