How do you think a female light and mello would turn out?

Sorry it took me so long to get around to this ask, anon! But I will give my thoughts as of now

In terms of "female Mello", most of my thoughts on that would actually be explained by this post:

But just in case, the tl;dr of that post is that I think "female mello" wouldn't actually end up all that different from canon Mello, given my interpretation of his personality and environment

But female Light? Good question! I'll put my thoughts under the cut

ㅤ

Okay, so in the post I linked above, I did some comparison between Mello and Light. Specifically, I said that Light, given his place in society and how he deals with his knowledge of societal standards, is more likely to change. I'll touch on this more later, but my general statement on this is that (in opposition to Mello, Near, and L, who are aware of societal standards in different places but use them as tools rather than subscribe to them or feel completely constrained to follow them) Light follows them (publicly at least) to the extent he has to to keep/raise his place in society and keep his image. Even if he doesn't actually believe any number of societal standards, he will uphold them to the extent he needs to (because he also cares about being a "good person" in the eyes of society).

Now, as I said in the previous post I linked above, I believe to get a much more accurate grasp on determining something like "how would this character be if gender swaped" (given death note's setting in Japan in the 2000s) would be to keep in mind *Japan's* societal standards, expectations, class differences, etc at the time. I am no expert on this, and I'm from the USA, so I can only do my best based on what I do know and from my analysis of the story itself. This is to say I'll do by absolute best, just keep all that in mind as you read further

So, to answer your question "How do you think a female Light would turn out?" I'll first have to break canon Light apart a bit.

Starting with his morals, his idea of what constitutes "good" or "bad"/a sense of justice is highly influenced by his father's ideals. Out of the members of his family, his father has the most rigid idea of justice and morality, accompanied with the fact of his occupation. It is not at all unnatural for canon Light to look up to his father (Chief in the NPA) as a "good" and "moral" person.

Light’s original goals for the future pre–the death note also build off of this concept (his relationship with and admiration for his father). He's an intelligent kid, and everyone knows it, including him. He's always far surpased his peers and worked through school unchallenged. Even if his father didn't particularly push for Light to follow in his footsteps, it's also not at all unnatural for others to see this intelligent boy who seems to take after his father and get to talking. Light’s smart, he already takes after his father, and he's even helped out the police a couple times himself, so it would be *natural* for him to follow in his footsteps, right? And, as far as I'm aware, the concept of potential still exists. So, even if Light doesn't necessarily pursue his father's occupation, if he doesn't make something of himself, go to a high end/prominent university, use that intelligence for something, use his gifts to do something most people can't, that's a "waste of potential" isn't it? So, to me, it's not at all unlikely that this mindset and Light’s boredom go hand in hand. Everything is the same, people are the same, society is going down the drain (yadda yadda), and he's taking a pathway (a pathway without the challenge and stimulation he so craves) because "he should".

Because what else would he do? It's not like he's interested in anything else, and anything less would "be a waste".

Now, as for female Light, it isn't impossible for all this to be similar. While it's easy to say that she'd be more like Sayu or Sachiko, and I can't say for sure that she would connect to her father the exact same way, I maintain that it's not impossible. While there is the idea that's it's generally sons who take after their fathers and seek their approval, this can still happen with female Light. Now, any aforementioned talk from before would most likely change a little bit due to the gender change, but even if more people doubt her due to this, Light is stubborn. If she already has it in her head that following in her father's footsteps is natural for someone as intelligent as her, giving up simply because someone said it would be hard to move into that position as a woman would be well...a waste to her. Plus, given that she would also rarely feel challenged intellectually, as canon Light seems to (given his reaction to finding a rival in L) she would most likely see a challenge in working up to high positions in the NPA despite her gender.

But, of course, given his knowledge of society, you may be wondering. *What if* she comes to the conclusion that surpassing her father is actually impossible to do (or impossible without compromising her current ideals)? Well, then I surmise if she's still helped out the police a bit and taking after her father, she'd find some sort of higher position connected to this idea of helping out the country/common people as adjacent as she can get.

After all, even if Light actually has no intrinsic passion in following in their father's footsteps, pre death note they NEED an endgoal.

That all being mentioned as well, I have no idea whether you would see women in the NPA at the time. Even in adaptations of Death Note that take place later in the 2000s or early to mid 2010s have maybe one or a few onscreen NPA members. So I can't tell you whether it's possible or how possible it is that female Light would get into it around 2010 or earlier. All I can say is that if it's not impossible, there's a chance she'll try.

BUT, whether "female Light" follows in her father's footsteps are not, there are some plot points we know that could still occur. Namely, Light’s getting into To-Oh university.

Luckily, Death Note delivered us Kiyomi Takada, who I personally believe to be a good frame of reference for a fem Light (it's no secret in my friend groups that I feel that Takada shares personality traits with him). Because of her, I feel comfortable saying that whatever fem Light chooses as an occupation, she will still inevitably end up at Toh-oh, still inevitably take the top score on the exam and outperform her peers (and still date men for the image of it, but most likely not more than one, given that dating multiple people most likely makes canon Light a desirable successful man in the eyes of society, but it would leave fem Light labeled as a slut, counterproductive to upholding her image. So while Light dates multiple before sticking with Misa, I think fem Light would try to stick with the same person for as long as possible).

Now in the Mello post, anon asked if I think that fem Mello would hate men, and I answered that she probably wouldn't more than canon Mello does. Would Light, though? I think so.

Now, the jokes about Light Yagami being a misogynist, we've all seen them. But before I explain why I think a fem Light would "hate men", I'm going to have to explain my take on Light being misogynistic first

The popular take on Light’s Misogyny is that he's always been like that, coupled with the idea/joke that he's gay *because* he hates women. In all serious, though, I find the former a bit more complicated, and I feel that the latter actually influences his growing misogyny.

Canon Light is very aware of his place in society, his presence, and how he can influence people with his looks and his talent for words. He's very intelligent (the most intelligent one in his class even), he's bored (given his absence of a rival/something to truly challenge him), and has always kept all his "friends" at arms length. We even find early on that he considers certain women (Yuri for example) as one of his "friends" as well. There's no proof that Light early on (even pre death note) hated women or thought of them as inherently lesser than men. In fact, I'd argue that Light Yagami is one of those "I hate you all equally types", or, in this case, "I treat you/think of you based on how stupid you are, and gender has nothing to do with it". My prime example is him having no trouble telling Misa AND Matsuda that they're being stupid in areas they can hear (and of course he doesn't nail Matsuda nearly as much as L does, but by comparison tbh L mostly nails Matsuda while Light nails Misa when it comes to "being stupid". It...evens out one might say)

So let's add this to Light’s file. He starts out being annoyed/more unfair in analysis of character towards those he finds to be "dumb", regardless of their gender.

Pre Death Note Light is also a "good kid" (heck, even post dn and Yotsuba arc Light tries as hard as possible to keep the emotions in and the mask showing out). He's not the type to needlessly insult people or tell everyone what he's thinking about them to their face. A little joke? Sure, but I think you're more likely to find him channeling his annoyance and using his words in such a way that they come off less as an insult and more as an observation intended to help them out. If he's tutoring his peers to help out and one of them makes a glaring error, he's more likely to think "they are so stupid", and more likely to act in such a way that "Here. This is the *right* way you should do it so you don't make stupid mistakes. Remember this. You don't want to make dumb mistakes". Basically...a kind of hidden insult if you will with a bit more of a constructive framing.

Now, second thing to add to his file. Superiority. He's smart. He knows it. He's never really been challenged or found a "true friend" because of it (and because he's constantly putting up that mask of the good moral teenage boy that requires him to look good in the eyes of society, which also requires society to not see and know the him without the mask). It's not unlikely that he would develop a sort of complex in which he values intelligence while simultaneously believing that he's above everyone for being the smartest (because no one can challenge him, right? And because everyone thinks so), so it’s not unlikely that he would place people in a metaphorical heirarchy based upon his analysis of their character (which is influenced by how intelligent he believes them to be).

Now, I also sort of hinted at a moment ago that I believe it's "he's misogynistic because he's gay" (if I had to reduce my take as much as possible down to a simple phrase) over "he's gay because he's misogynistic", or that his being gay is something that makes him more misogynistic as the series goes on. This is a pretty long post as it is, so I'm not going to make an entire breakdown on why I think Light being gay (for the record, I personally feel that he's gay and aspec) is a valid interpretation of canon. So if you don't agree with me on it, have fun. If you decide to keep reading, know that what I'm about to say is said upon the basis of this being true.

As mentioned earlier, Light is very aware of his place and influence in society. He's aware of how his looks affect others (and he has no problems using them to his advantage, even in canon. Adding that to the file), and he's combined them with his words in canon to win over characters no matter their gender. What matters (especially when he becomes Kira) is that society *sees* him as a good person, which means often that he can ignore his own actions/feelings that don't fit society's ideals of a "good moral person" as long as no one knows/can see it (because if no one sees it, it may as well not be real) or as long as he believes it *will* become accepted in society. It's a very pointed choice that Light Yagami does not date anyone (and in fact, canonically tells his family that he's too busy to right now) pre death note, even though he makes it clear that he has girls' contact information and COULD initiate a date if he wished to. This is why his jump from dating no one, to going to Space Land with Yuri, to dating a bunch of girls at once is...interesting behavior.

But he's under suspicion of being Kira. We know the lengths he goes to so he can come off as normal teenage boy material (like *cough* reading porn mags on camera), and dating all those women at once is no exception (because it's totally straight behavior to make excuses about why you won't date anyone to jumping to dating a bunch of girls at once so you seem like a totally normal girl crazy teenage boy /s).

He thinks that he understands society and how people act fundamentally (as shown with how he talks to Ryuk about how society will respond to Kira over time). And while there's no proof that he believes that junk that all women will inherently be drawn towards men (comp het, and some other things), given that he uses his looks to his advantage regardless of gender or romance, he is aware that he *can* win over people with his looks (and with society as it is, especially at the time, whether he has male admirers and knows it doesn't matter in terms of his dating life, because dating men will *not* contribute positively to his "good normal teenage boy" persona), it's true that he does use a lot of women in pursuing his goals.

So, let us set the stage, shall we? We have a man who doesn't respect very many people, nor does he find anyone worthy of his level intelligence wise. He makes judgements on people's character influenced by how smart he believes them to be. He's never had an actual close friend before. He's a man who likes men (who may not know that he likes men) and values intelligence, who surrounds himself with women (and women he dislikes at that)

Even if he needs this to be true for his goals, I doubt Light finds many people who fall for his manipulation of them (aided by his looks) to be very smart. He doesn't believe all women are inherently stupid or lesser, just that none of the ones he's met are worthy of him (not to mention that because he's not a woman himself, he doesn't fully grasp their place in society/how society affects them as much as he thinks he does)

Most people are stupid (no one is as smart as me) -> people are so easy to manipulate -> I keep manipulating women, women are easy to manipulate -> I dislike women being obsessed with me. Why? She is a bit stupid. I have to dislike her for a reason. I dislike her because she's stupid and therefore not worthy of me -> women are stupid

(And even then, as I said, he still doesn't really think women are inherently lesser in the end. I think his reactions are just heightened here by the fact that he just does not like Misa. I mean, heck, when he gets angry he throws men under the bus too (sorry Mikami). I think our perspective is a bit skewed given how much time he spends with her. Even if he was acting about it, it's telling enough that he recognized that Takada *is* intelligent)

So, what would this all mean for fem Light? Well, to keep her experience largely similar (or to keep her as close to the original as possible), let us assume that fem Light is a lesbian. Of course, given her status as a woman, she's going to face a bit more hardship and actually be impacted by misogyny herself this time around, but she has a supportive family. Light Yagami is a "good normal teenager" you see.

She may have told her parents she wouldn't date boys because she's focusing on her studies before, but when she comes under suspicion of being Kira by L, she needs to seem like a "normal teenage girl". She goes on a date with a guy who'd asked her out or a guy friend she knows likes her to initiate the bus jacking incident. She could still read porn mags on camera, although I surmise that just talking about how much she definitely likes guys or making collages of hot shirtless men from regular magazines could do the trick. She picks someone to date long term until getting into university (in which she'll tell people that it just wasn't going to work out because they were going different places after high school). She gets the highest score on the entrance exam to her university of choice (To-Oh of course) and finds another long term boyfriend from her university (or the equivalent of Takada, given that she was intelligent AND pretty, miss To-Oh herself). She already kind of doesn't like men based upon her experiences, but we enter into the second Kira event. Assuming the plot beats are mostly the same and our masc equivalent of Misa still demands to be her boyfriend, he becomes an obsessive obstacle in Kira's path, earning her ire for being an obstacle and because it annoys her "for some reason" that he likes her. It's so easy to get boys to do whatever she wants given her looks and charisma, so they can't be too smart. And of course all the ones she's surrounded herself with she has been annoyed at for them liking her so much. It can't be for no reason, so it must be something else. So clearly none of the men she's dated/dating are worthy because they're stupid and men are stupid.

You see where this goes.

Like I said, Takada happens to be a great frame of reference. She's smart, intelligent, loves Kira. If intelligence is why he could not love Misa, then surely Takada is his type, right?

Mikami is another great frame of reference. He's smart, intelligent, worships Kira obsessively (hmmm curious how similar he is to Misa in that regard and yet he doesn't find *him* annoying) , looks like L is very pretty. ...Light picks him after only seeing his looks on tv and doesn't appreciate any of his other pawns/allies just as much

Anyways, I digress. I've Light essayed you all enough

Tl;Dr, I think it's entirely possible that a fem Light could turn out largely the same (just maybe a men disliker instead of a women disliker or with a different occupation), just because gender would not really change his values morally or in terms of intelligence, nor how he interacts with society. Heck, even if she would have to be more wary of getting exposed about it, fem Light could very much be a femme fatale type (I think canon Light already has the vibes) given that she would use her looks to her advantage as well. She would face naturally a bit more or different hardship than canon Light, but it’s not impossible for her to turn out largely the same with a couple things swapped about her.

Love your wingau out of curiosity if Leona and vil was in this au what kind of wings would they have?

Vil is the Black Swan to Neige's White Swan. I know I could've gone for peacock since Pomefiore has a lot of peacock details, but I thought the Black/White Swan story was better. (Though the Black Swan would've fit Neige best for the intuitive facet of it while the White Swan would've fit Vil better for the hard working version of it, buuuuut... anyway.)

Leona is an Andean Condor. They are birds of prey with one of the biggest wingspan on earth (even bigger than Jamil's white tailed eagle by a whole meter)

Imagine corio seeing a woman flirt with r he’s so confused cuz he’s used to disgusting men after her only

no but like seriously 🌞👉👈

Corio isn't oblivious to the fact that there is a price for dating someone as beautiful as you. Namely, that others - doesn't matter if they're complete strangers or close working colleagues - will secretly want you, with some of them even being bold enough to try and entice you.

This is all much to his annoyance, as he tries being very public about the fact that you're his. Think constant arm around your waist, aggressive kisses in public, loudly calling you 'darling' from across the room. But that doesn't seem to deter everyone.

Especially not the types of men in the Capitol.

If he's feeling calmer that day, he might just stop at glaring at the man whilst pulling you away by the waist, or knocking the breath of you by suddenly grabbing your face and kissing you fiercely for the crowd of men to see. If he's in a sour mood, or it's been a hard week, you have to be careful to keep an eye on the blonde in case he flies into a fit of rage and his mind starts to scan the room for whatever is sharp and capable of causing damage.

"Sometimes I feel as if I have to babysit you." you would tease after one particularly harsh night, where you and Corio get thrown out of a house party after he smashed another man's face into the wall and then proceeded to twist the man's arm to the point of almost breaking a bone. Granted, the man had been extremely aggressive towards you and making very inappropriate comments, but it'd been rather awkward to see the stranger be carried onto an ambulance whilst the head of the household ordered the both of you out.

Chest heaving and knuckles still bruised from the impact, he'd just kiss you again, his tongue tasting of copper.

"Can't help it. You're too pretty." he whispers, and all your criticisms of him would fly out the window.

But Coriolanus is always less guarded when it's a woman around you. After all, you have so many best friends who are women, you spend so much time around grandma'am and Tigirs, and so on. He just associates women being around you with platonic love and comfort.

So when you leave him to go get some drinks at the bar, a fancy upper east side bar you've been begging to go to, he's too busy searching the room for potential men who approach you to notice the red haired woman beelining towards you. She bumps into you 'on accident', pink champagne spilling over the tip of the glass just a bit - a light splash on your jeans, but nothing too bad.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." she quickly says, grabbing a nearby napkin to hand it off to you. Coriolanus watches the interaction from the back of the club, the specifics of your conversation with her unintelligble over the loud music, but he doesn't think anything much of it. Even when the auburn haired woman's fingers brush against yours whilst exchanging the napkin.

He watches as you smile politely at her, probably telling her that it's okay, before turning around to the bartender to make an order. The woman next to you continues to talk to you through out the exchange, which again doesn't raise any red flags to Corio.

After all, women are very friendly by nature. It's normal that someone, especially a stranger who feels bad for spilling a drink on you, wants to continue to talk to you.

You don't think much of it either on your end, other than thinking that she - Clara, she tells you her name after a soft giggle - is very nice.

It's only when the drinks arrive and the woman stops you, lightly sitting you back down and brushing away the hair from your eyes, that Coriolanus starts feeling rather odd. The sudden wide eyes on your face and the red haired woman's smirk, before she slides you a piece of paper from her back pocket and lets you go, raises a lot of questions in his mind.

His top options? Something along the lines of bribery or illegal drugs. Or maybe she's using you to get something from him. Or maybe she wants something from your family.

What he doesn't expect, is for you to come back totally speechless, fingers deftly hanging onto the small piece of paper. You look somewhere between embarrassed and shocked, refusing to meet your boyfriend's eyes as you sit down next to him. He frowns at that, patting his lap instead.

Normally, you'd sit on his legs without a second thought. This time though, you hesitate.

"What'd she want? Drugs? Mone-" he growls, only to be cut off by the stranger.

"So you weren't lying. You do have a boyfriend." the red haired woman cuts into the conversation, now sitting on the velvet chair across from you. Coriolanus swears his jaw almost drops when the woman laughs seductively, winking at you whilst uncrossing her legs.

"You can sit on my lap instead, honey."

"I, you- I just-" Coriolanus starts speaking in an attempt to swear or scare her off, but his mind totally blanks.

You've never seen your boyfriend this flustered. His pale complexion breaks into a dark shade of red, his usually stern gaze darting back and forth between you and the woman, his speech stuttered and jumbled. It's YOU who ends up having the composure to let her down gently, holding out the paper with her phone number out towards her and informing her that you love your boyfriend very much and you're not that interested.

She pouts at that, and it makes your boyfriend's jaw clench so hard his face aches.

"Aw... alright, darling. But keep the paper. You know, just in case you wanna play."

With a wink and a hair flip, she disappears into the dark crowd of sweaty bodies and loud music. It's only then that your boyfriend snaps into action, taking the paper into his hands and shredding it to pieces.

"She called you darling." he snarls, angry. "Only I get to call you darling."

You just giggle, kissing away his sour expression, before tugging at his sleeves.

"Come on, forget about it. Let's just dance." you say, the alcohol in your veins still making you feel buzzed. He complies, never being able to say no to you, but the entire night, he can't help but hold you very close and glare at everyone who approaches you or even looks at you.

Regardless of their gender.

Now, he has to protect you from everyone, he thinks.

BONUS SCENARIO (later in the night)

You've had one too many drinks and yell into Coriolanus' ear that you really need to go to the bathroom. You clutch your handbag and stumble into the corridor, leaving your boyfriend alone by the bar. A stunning blonde woman slides into the empty seat next to him, glossy lips parting to ask a question.

Thinking she's going to hit on him, he raises his right hand, stopping her on the spot.

"I'm not interested, sorry."

The woman scoffs at that, ordering a tequila shot and almost glaring at him.

"Neither am I, genius. I was just wondering if you knew the name of the cutie who just went to the bathroom."

The moment you come back, he practically drags you out of the bar and hails a cab back to the apartment.

He's had enough of women trying to steal you from him. At least for that night.

You are in desperate need of more innocent questions.

So! If you were to make your own musical based on a myth, but it had to be a Pantheon other than Greek or The Bible, which mythological pantheon would you choose?

Optional bonus: If you had to make a musical using one FICTIONAL Pantheon from a fantasy or Sci Fi series (EX: Lotr, one of the DnD Pantheons, Legend of Zelda, etc) which would you pick?

Well, if I have to pick, then it’s Tupi-Guarani mythology, specifically the story of Kerana and Tau.

I’m undecided about whether to make it as faithful as possible or give it a romantic twist, like how some Hades and Persephone adaptations do. But Kerana and Tau definitely fit that kind of relationship dynamic as well.

For those who don’t know the myth: Tau, the evil spirit, fell in love with the human girl Kerana. He took different forms to woo her, but she always denied him. Eventually, Tau decided to simply abduct her, because that’s how every myth goes. During the abduction, Tau’s brother came to Kerana’s aid, and the two brothers fought each other for seven days straight. On the eighth day, Tau managed to flee with Kerana. This led to the moon goddess Jacy cursing them so that all their children would be born as monsters.

They had seven kids, and one of them is my little precious boy, Tejú Jaguá. He’s the oldest and the scariest-looking of all their children—so scary, in fact, that the god Tupã (Nhanderuvuçú) gifted Tejú Jaguá’s personality to make him calm and harmless to other beings. Tejú Jaguá earned the title Protector of Fruits and has a love for honey! 😭

Anyway, I imagine the musical could end with the story of Porâsý, who slayed all of Tau and Kerana’s sons by burning them and herself alive in a cave. The moon goddess Jacy then made Porâsý a star to honor her sacrifice. It’s gruesome, but I like the idea of humanizing the sons to add emotional depth, to then have them be killed at the end.

As for the musical style? Well, obviously, I’d love something in the vein of Hans Zimmer, mixed with traditional Tupi-Guarani music.

Thank you for listening to my ted talk!

SuperBat but they're 2 complete strangers stuck sitting next to each other on a 16-hour long flight ✈️

What immediately makes this funny is that if Bruce is flying commercial he's already holding onto his sanity by a thread and is in no mood for bullshit. Clark on the other hand is really excited since it's probably his first time actually using a plane to fly. The daily planet already paid for his ticket and he doesn't want it to go to waste. He's kinda scared coz it's the first time he's had to rely on machinery to stay in the air instead of himself.

This starts off at the check-in queue with Clark claiming Bruce as his airport crush (since he's trying to do all the classic airport things). He's then pleasantly surprised when they're seated next to each other on the plane. This excitement dies pretty quickly when Bruce snaps at him for trying to make conversation.

This gets worse when Bruce (who has the window seat) decides to close the window and turning on the light to read. Since Clark can't look out the window (lead lined paint) to make sure everything's fine and can't sleep to distract himself he starts panicking a bit and ends up fighting with Bruce, telling him to keep the window open. Bruce starts questioning why he's freaking out over nothing and the fight culminates in Clark saying he was the sole survivor of the plane crash that killed his parents coz they threw him out with an open parachute while they blew up so seeing that the sky is clear keeps him calm (which is only sort of a lie if he squints).

Bruce obviously feels like a jerk but he's too stubborn to apologize out loud. Instead, after about an hour of silence, he gives Clark his snacks and looks away. Clark picks up on this being a piece offering and asks Bruce if he wants to watch a movie together. They get to know each other, joking and teasing then at some point during a movie Clark falls asleep on Bruce's shoulder and this is when Bruce realizes he's falling for this stranger he's known for all of 10 hours.

Unfortunately, his bliss is shortlived coz there's some unexpected turbulence. The violent shaking of the plane wakes up Clark who's panicking because if the plan goes down he knows he won't be able to get everyone to land on time and still keep his identity in check. But to Bruce it looks like Clark is having a trauma flashback so he tries to calm him down which surprisingly works when the plan levels out again.

The bad weather does still force the plane to land and all the passengers have to find somewhere to sleep for the night before their connecting flight. Luckily for Bruce, he already owns a penthouses in this city and he asks Clark to stay the night with him if he has nowhere else to go.

Idk what happens after that but I think this would be such a fun plot for a fic.

HELLO so sorry to return from the bash of which I live.. but I'd love to request some Garmadon art possibly inspired by your ideas/predictions for Shatterpsin :)

Or maybe some s15 Garmadon and Lloyd "bonding time" or whatever they do instead of play nice :D

Please feel no obligation by my request and I hope you have a lovely week <3

Hello dear bog creature, I am here to give you your occasional weekly supply of Garmacontent

Basically: The first one is based off of the first few new pages that were released, which means obviously I require some spinjitsu bro content (+ just some Garmadon idk). The second is literally just and only because it is fuckass hot everywhere and I want to die, so Garmadon gets to suffer too

On a more actual-predictions-note, I’m just generally hoping we get to see the actual fight scene with the giant scorpion that’s on one of the alt covers. I also don’t think that Garmadon would wear one of the masks/ get his goodness shattered, just because of the way it probably wouldn’t make much sense with the timeline— if anything I feel like the events in this comic actually make him even more inclined to fight for the good side in the Serpentine Wars

screaming over the idea of mizu with a reader who's super into mizu and often gets flustered around her, becoming stuttery and flushed, and just kinda sucks at hiding it... I feel like she might allow herself to be a bit of a tease then

a/n: y e s. 🫶

.

“Your face is adorable.”

warning(s): swearing and a little suggestive

summary: you suck ass at hiding the fact you get flustered easily and the fact that you are into a certain blue eyed samurai. mizu finds it adorable, amusing even. so much that she’ll even be a bit of a tease just for you.

——————————————————————————

A terrific healer, you ended up joining Mizu on her journey after you found her in the woods on one snowy day, badly injured yet somehow still walking fine and even holding her blade. You were a litttle reluctant on joining because A, She was awfully hot and you could barely hold a conversation, and B, you could not focus for the love of god.

Only reason Mizu finally gave in after Ringo tried to convinced her to was because “you actually had some usefulness to you and could defend yourself.” Ringo was ecstatic, finally having someone kind and patient on board with them.

Mizu could easily tell you were into her, hell everyone could. Besides Ringo, of course, he’s a little clueless. The samurai found it amusing, often purposefully trying to fluster you as a little joke. You knew you sucked at hiding it, and Mizu certainly loved it.

After Mizu had busted open her stitches again by another petty spar between her and Taigen, you were left with the task of mending her ripped up cloak. Of course you didn’t mind, it’s the least you could do while Ringo patched Mizu back up again. And you would get some peace while doing so alone.

Or..perhaps that wasn’t the case.

You were stitching up her clothes again peacefully, humming by the fire while you worked. You didn’t notice that door sliding open and someone entering. Lost in your thoughts, you didn’t catch Mizu creeping up upon you and leaning close to your ear. “Hm, what are you doing?” She murmured, causing you to immediately stop and swing your head around.

“Gah! Mizu!- shit, you sca-scared me,” you said as you took a sharp breath and put down the needle on the table. Mizu smirked, tilting her head to the side, amused, before sitting beside you.

“I scared you? Is that why your face is red?” You immediately closed your mouth, hands covering up your face and looking away while puffing out your lips. Yes she did scare you, a bit, but it was the fact her warm breath was on your ears, which were particularly sensitive—

“Or is it because I was close to you?” Mizu’s voice snapped you out of your thoughts, now she was leaning in very close and her rough hands were on your thigh. You felt your face burn even hotter. Why was she so close? And touchy?!

“You..you—wha-what do you need?” You managed to utter out. Mizu smirked before she yanked you over onto her lap so quickly you had no time to react or resist. You let out a squeak, embarrassed at the position you were in. Yes you were severely down bad for her but what is this?!?

Mizu’s lips ghosted down your neck, her warm breath trickling against your flushed skin and sending shivers down your spine. “I thought you liked me, no?” Well that managed to shut you up, and Mizu knew that as well. She began to leave kisses along your neck, and had decided to leave a few marks along the way.

You squirmed in her lap, softly moaning and also embarrassed at how easily you react. Your entire body was hot and your face was on fire. Mizu held you in place, one arm tightly around your waist to keep you still. She hummed, her blue eyes looking at the purple marks and the soft bite marks all over your neck. Pretty, right? Why not mark the entire body now?

“I think I might want something more..active. Up for it, Princess?”

hello

is this how your peopls work. i am obsessed with your comics and the panel layout and the way they react to eachother and sdgafkhgfdhsagfha s i very desperately need to have a grasp on how you see them in their dynamic and interacting and i feel like i don't know as much about how isabeau and loop be interacting but i am so so so so SO curious as to how that goes and how they feel about eachother pre-"i'm a former siffrin" and post-"ok you know who i am"

oh hell yeah a diagram we love a diagram

but yeah i'd say you've gotten my interpretation of the dynamic down pretty solid??

in general i think my instinct with loop-isabeau interactions is a lot tamer/calmer than others ive seen, my reasoning for why being hmm... i think i can note my core 'things im keeping in mind from the text' here

isabeau's line in act 6 remarking that loop seemed 'shy'. for all of loop's bravado @ siffrin (and thus the player's pov), they are still siffrin, so while it can be easy to percieve them as this loud bombastic personality-- there is this textual reminder that them acting this way is probably due in part to being up against siffrin, someone who won't speak unless spoken to (and thus loop takes the initiative, and is also presumably reveling a bit in making them uncomfortable and annoyed, inkeeping with their self-hatred and self-flaggellation) this to me reads as a reminder that they'd probably retreat into their shell hard when presented with other people- the party included. so even if i can see them trying to undermine their relationships with others, i think it's probably more on the insidious 'insulting siffrin to make the party protective of them' side, because that also feeds into 'proving' that the party only cares about one siffrin and that loop can be replaced. meanwhile isabeau has shown that, even with a vicious jealous streak, he can mostly keep a lid on it. he's the most emotionally intelligent of the group, and would probably be able to suss out loop's self-harm-via-getting-people-pissed-off-at-them gambit relatively simply given how obvious it is. also isabeau is not immune to insecurity-- and would probably let loop take some precidence over their relationship with siffrin because 'well i cant compete with the guy who actually went through All Of The Timeloop With Them.' because like... damn how are you supposed to do that. loop understands their pain better than isa ever could, and it would show in their fucked up unspoken understanding of each other (because how is Isa to know thats because theyre the same guy, and not just because the timeloop traumabonded the fuckers baddddly. which it also did.).

timeloop stressful as fuck. absolutely has both of them on tenterhooks the whole time. we visibly see how it affects siffrin (despondance & mania & aggression), and we see SAPfrin be very. very very despondant. so it would seem to me that loop is basically in a perpetual state of mania, given how sif's internal monologue begins to resemble their way of speaking (with the tee hees and such) when they are clearly broaching into manic states. one can assume that if you take loop out of the Torment Nexus, while they probably wouldn't faire well, all of the tension and pressure that's holding them up would collapse, likely putting them more depressive again by default? Of note, whenever i write loop's dialogue (which im told i do well? i will be honest i kind of feel like that's far too high praise.) i initially write it as very blunt and pissed off-- and will afterwards go back in and Maybe change wording to be more 'silly', but mostly i just add tildes~, italics, exclamation points and laughter to the pissed off dialogue without changing the actual content of it?

loop likes their friends! They are fucked up in the head about it (badly!!!) but they like their friends! They still care a lot, and can barely even hide it a little bit with their aloofness in game. it feels redundant to even try pointing out where they slip up because its everywhereee. They de-person their Actors because theyre the same lines over and over and over, but you see in SAP alone how any break from the script makes them overwhelmed with emotion, and how devastated they are if that deviation occurs a second time and becomes predictable (dying to the king after triggering the requisites for the true end, forcing you to go through it again). BUT!! You take their friends out of the timeloop and let them be New Unpredictable People again? I genuinely find it hard to believe mx siffrin "i love my friends so much id explode the world about it" nolastname would be able to see that and just go "nope im emotionally disconnected i can keep being a bitch to these guys forever". like no theyre gonna slip into being at least neutral no matter what. even if it's in a quiet depressive state when the mania wears off.

my biggest deviation from frequently observed fandom things here i think: i think loop doesn't actually believe that ISAT!Party are 'replacements'. they rarely if ever word a sentiment like this. this is something the fandom goes for because the horror of being replaced wholesale probably WOULD make it easier to cope if you considered those people to Not Be Your Real Friends. But loops WHOLE act 6 spiel? 'THEY WERE MINE FIRST. I LOVED THEM'? (paraphrased) they obviously desperately want to be with them again, and know they're the same people. The Fighter/Defender discrepancy clue is mostly metatext here-- since Loop never acknowledges the defender title-- just calling ISAT!Isa Fighter-- because they are the same guy. Your Fighter. They even call them Fighter in the "You got memory of X, your Fighter will now..." dialogues! Which are practically system dialogues! So. they see these isabeaus as the same. And while I would not put it past them to come up with the "they are different, my party is Dead" thing to Cope... I do think it is a delusion, plain and simple, and that I think any post-knowing-the-truth party would probably shut down weird rituals ive seen the fandom propose (often in a cute way??? it makes me feel insane?? like the concept of loop 'memorialising' their 'dead' family is not cute its nuts. they are being nuts. its like actively feeding into an extremely maladaptive coping mechanism. sorry this is like a massive sidebar but like. Yes i do think this is something loop might do if left unchecked. but it should not be presented as sane or rational? it outright undermines the themes of the game to treat the concept of 'Loop's party' being 'dead' as 'True'?? There's like several points in the game where Loop and Siffrin express that things that happened in the loops Still Happened even if the party dont recall it-- which is why their actions-- being cruel or doing 'experiments' still hold weight and can be Wrong. That it's tragic that the party will never remember but that their forgetting is NOT a pass to do whatever with no consequnce (experiment, bad touch, etc). It follows that by Nixing all of "loop's party", treating them as seperate, in some way implies loop's memories are Lesser and what they did "doesn't matter as much", which is antithetical on account of being contradictory to however you take the stated theme. PLUS... The game and Paratext are clear that there is One Timeline. SAP is in the same contiguous space as ISAT-- it is effectively just that on the loop between SAP and ISAT that we the audience dont see-- loop ate that star and when the loop restarted there were two of them. for all intents and purposes one can intuit that Loop 0 of isat and SAPfrin's first loop are legitimately identical from sif's POV, as Loop does not reveal themselves until Loop 1. BUT YEAH GIANT SIDEBAR OVER. THIS WHOLE READ OF THE TEXT INFORMS MY THOUGHTS RE: ISALOOP AND RELATED CONCEPTS VERY GREATLY)

jesus christ i wrote a lot in the above um. sorry. i dont know if its intelligable. uh. good luck?

im also on team 'orrery book and sif's thoughts about it belie a real deep-seated brainworm' re: their response to a Cautionary Tale About How You Will Inevitably Kill Your Double seemingly being "Nah, we'd be besties."... like. i do think it is. funny. and not particularly Unbased. Given how they are. For siffrin and loop to specifically be compelled by how they are the same guy. And i think that there's a lot to be mined from 'Both of them are convinced that the party knowing who loop is would fuck up everything badly, so they're going to great lengths to conseal this' played in tandem with '... they are like. very much explicitly doing things together that are directly related to a feeling of shared ownership over siffrin's body and form & the fact they are The Same Guy'. like it is a hysterical setup to me and i think is only added to when you have to put Isabeau in the middle of this polycule also. With the few exceptions of times ive drawn stuff specifically hinging on characters Knowing Who Loop Is (which is like. all bonnie-centric stuff so far? i think?), i take a lot of care to try and make their exchanges Vague as if they are worried about being overheard or saying something that's too much of a smoking gun. But also it's really god damn funny to think about how concerning some of those things could sound the vaguer you make them. Remember that above all i live and die by The Bit. (... as do they.) ie basically because im powered by The Bit thats why i focus more on the sloop side because its like. actively Funnier and more drama filled. or at least presents oppertunities for such. i feel like on isabeaus side here its kinda frequently like

yknow ? (oh god my formatting is broken now) . i DO very much think it can become like. niceys. of course. i think they can just be normal fucking throuple eventually (though if i'm going that goddamn far into the future u may as well partycule the fuckers 2 me. by the time theyve solved whatever the fuck you call pre-reveal isiloops i think odile has gotten involved at the very least. but this is why i mostly keep myself to the realm of 'the mostly immediate post-game conflict' stuff since i think all these characters leave off the end of the game with such solid springboards for arcs set up (clearly intentionally) that the infinite realm of possibilities opens up too wide for me to be comfortable with.) anyway i keep thinking about the tragicomedy of isabeau finally finding an "in" to nurture a friendly bond with loop by comisserating and steeling themselves for changing again even though it feels like a betrayal of their previous actions/beliefs and how fucking funny the idea of 'loop reveal but theyre like 2 weeks into using she/they' is. just like you get all the way through the horrors of 'oh jesus christ the timeloop was even worse than we thought it was' but now '.. d. do you still . what pronouns do you want?' is tacked onto the end. Sorry did you hear something . must've been the wind. anyway . this ask is a fucking mess i hope its readable like at all . can you tell ive been brainscramblied for six weeks

TL;DR:

yeaghj you got it. its not like im doing anything revolutionary im just trying to stick as close as i can do what i percieve the characterisation is in canon & thus generally dont tie down any of my fanwork to specific post-canon-plot-concepts. its all just nebulous extrapolation set 'pretty close to the end of the game because i think these characters are going to grow and change extremely rapidly once the game is over given how they're all intentionally poised for character arcs when the game ends'. but also you should put isabeau in the worst social bind of all time with two of the most mentally unwell BPD OCD havers youve ever seen and let him try to figure out the balance of 'be gentle' and 'treat them like the almost-30-year-old adult they literally are' while he also balances his own set of entire life changes it'll be fine he'll be fine (someone should probably check on him)
