Ok but Venus by Sleeping At Last immediately makes me think about Noa and Mae. It's a sweet love song, the title is a reference to the Roman goddess of love, but best of all, it has a telescope metaphor to describe the feeling of falling in love, so obviously I think about them!

At first, I thought you were a constellation I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation You're as beautiful as endless You're the universe I'm helpless in An astronomer at my best When I throw away the measurements

Like a telescope I will pull you so close 'Til no space lies in between And suddenly, I see you Suddenly, I see you

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes / Then There Was You by Calum Scott

[ash-arts-a-thing]

Mmm, monkey.

Saw the new one on the weekend and then watched the other three at home.

[n-fblog]

The way they mirror each other makes me sick to my stomach (affectionate)

- I ate by myself, trained by myself, took care of myself

- Nagi: It's admirable. It's important that I do this. Being alone is part of change

- Reo: It's not my dream. I have to change so I'm not alone.

AAUUGHHHHHHHH,,, then there's these

like,, Nagi’s life is really framed as pre-Reo and post-Reo.... not meeting him is akin to not doing anything at all,, like he doesn't talk about school or a job or choki its just,, nothing.

"I dont want to think of the past I'm over it!!" sure buddy,,,,

Together Strong

Pairing: Noa x Mae

A/N: Help, I've fallen and I can't get up. Just a short drabble inspired by a scene from Avatar that refused to leave my mind.

--

It was hard to believe the war for world domination was over for now--harder, even, to think how much had changed since the first time Mae had stepped into this ruined observatory and gazed upon the stars.

Like that fateful night, the sky was dark and cloudless, glittering with stars and the promise of a brighter future. Mae had been wrong, then. The world did not belong to the humans--it belonged to humans and apes, and together they would need to navigate this new age.

The Eagle Clan had tripled in size, and was now established as one of the leading territories. The Clan had chosen a new Master of Birds and Warlord, which called for a celebration. Mae had never known what it was like--to feast and laugh and tell stories over bonfires. To listen to the beating of drums and chants of song.

The festivities that followed the ceremony would last long through the night, and she had needed a moment of quiet, seeking this long forgotten place beneath the stars.

As Mae moved toward the telescope, she heard him enter, intentionally making himself known as to not startle her. But he did not speak. She wondered when he had noticed she had slipped away; he always seemed keenly aware of where she was, just as she was of him.

The past few weeks--months, really--had been nothing but plotting and planning and fighting. There had been blood, and death, and little time to talk about much else but war and peace. Mae did not mind. It let her avoid the truths she feared to acknowledge.

But she knew she could longer avoid them.

"It feels like ages since we were here," she said finally, a hand trailing over the cool bite of metal. "You are the Master of Birds now." She dug a finger into a groove, feeling moist dirt there. "Anaya says you will make a bow from the wood of the tallest tree." She paused. "And you will choose a mate."

Noa said nothing, watching her from the shadows in that silent, still way of his.

For some reason, Mae could not look at him, even though she could hardly look away during the ceremony. He had been covered in dark blue and white woad, adorned in armor that made him look more a knight than an ape. Master of Birds and Warlord. A leader.

Mae reached up to the necklace she always wore, her fingers playing with Raka's medallion--the symbol of peace and strength. "Nina is a good singer," she admitted. The female was one of the best in the clan, taming even the most wild of eagles.

A beat of silence. And then Noa said, his voice drifting from the shadows, "I do not want...Nina."

Mae suppressed a smile, but it quickly faded. "Soona is a good hunter. And an even better friend." And you were born within a sunset.

Another beat of quiet. And then--

"She is...all those things." He paused. "And family."

Mae stilled, not just at his words, but because he had snuck up behind her. She turned, half dreading what she might find. Noa stood at his full height, intimidating in his warrior's garb. He was hardened from war, but his eyes were still soft as he looked at her.

"But I have...already chosen," Noa went on gently. He reached out, his large hand covering hers over the medallion, his eyes bright. "But this woman...this...Nova...must also choose me."

Mae smiled at him, blinking back tears. "She already has."

His lips parted slightly, almost in disbelief. He leaned forward, pressing his forehead to hers, his strong hands finding the back of her neck.

"You choose...this?" he breathed. "You choose...Eagle Clan? Me?"

He had once asked her if apes and humans could live together. Then, she had not known. But now, she could see no other future. Noa and Raka, Soona and Anaya and the others, even the humans that had joined their forces, they were family now.

"Yes," Mae answered. "Our cause is important. What we have built is important." She reached up, cupping his cheek. "You are important. To me."

His hands tightened on her neck, no doubt remembering those words, how he had said them to her on the battlefield when he had begged her to run. She refused. She would not leave him and the others then, and she would not leave them now.

Mae closed her eyes. "Together," she went on, "strong."

"Together," Noa echoed, his voice a promise, "strong."

And as they stood there under the stars, ape and human but somehow twin souls, Mae knew, no matter what the future held, they would face it side by side.

Together.

spoilers for blue lock manga ch 279

the fanon of Noel is so like neutral but secretly nice but bro canon Noel is such a dickhead lmao (and we don’t even know if any moments he’s had with isagi are even genuine anymore)

I understand that it’s likely that Isagi will still prob go to him for advice and the like, and I really really hope that they end up with some sort of mentorship, but jeez Louis this mf does not care about isagi AT ALL (atm)

What’s interesting is that noel’s betrayal is what awakened another layer of isagi’s ego, that is extremely similar to the sort of ego noel tries to invoke (despite his core identity being one of a genius, which is selfish)

ego has been wanting this for isagi this whole time, so did noel learn to admire the logical ego from his past with ego, and that’s why he acts “logically” when he really just wants to achieve his own goal of getting stronger, as a football junky

nah isagi better be careful around him in the future. He ain’t a mentor, he selfish.

you gotta USE him isagi USE his stupid and predictable (now that they’re revealed) motivations to garner favor from him

(And hopefully some basic fucking respect too cause wtf)

logic vs. creativity: vague kainess theory (spoilers for ch 242-243)

after reading their backstory chapters, it's interesting to see how different they started out in comparison to how they act and how kaiser treats ness currently.

in particular.....

when they met, kaiser's intent was to team up with ness so he could play better, specifically he wants to aid ness's creativity.

but earlier, in ch218, we see kaiser talking in a way that seems contradictory to this.

now, he specifically doesn't want ness's creativity.

their dynamic in general is also much different, much more unhealthy, than how we see it in their backstory. I don't think anything actually happened between the two of them that caused kaiser's change in view or that caused him to start treating ness so much worse, I think it's their own team and noa's team philosophy that caused it.

bastard munchen is based solely on logic and rationality, contrary to ness's creativity and his belief in magic, and I think joining the team might be the worst thing that happened to his and kaiser's relationship.

I suspect noa/the team might have ended up treating ness's mindset similarly to how his family did, from "there's no magic in my house" -> "there's no magic/creativity on this team." I imagine that's what changed kaiser and ness's dynamic. Kaiser can't aid ness anymore, because he doesn't align with the team philosophy. Instead, the team revolves around kaiser, who will go along with the team philosophy, and ness is reduced to being the one to aid kaiser instead, since he's the only person on the team he cares about. They still have the same goal together, but ness's creativity can't blossom at all anymore due to their team, so he only plays for kaiser and what he tells him to do.
