#Beyblade au

[thatreliableguy]

Remember that shitpost from the other day? Yeah, I don't think it's a shitpost anymore...

Now the idea of Gingka being in Beyblade x and contributing to the plot is taking over my brain. How did he get here? How would he interact with Team Persona? Is he going to try to get to the top of X Tower? So many possibilities! What do you think should happen?

[sillysillyprice]

Well, I drew something again, in traditional, even painted... but it's something from Beyblade, I'm sharing it anyway because I loved the result

[aduah]

Now after having Sonia and Sasha backstory can we have Lara's?

If it's okay?

Lara... she's the most interesting one, actually!

She and Kay met randomly when she challenged him to a bey battle, defeating the world champion pretty easily! Since then, Kai always tried to have a rematch to get the chance to defeat her.

She first accepted, but she also did not like Kai's attitude, so she started refusing his requests.

Kai had to ask Takao (already dating Sonia) how to approach a girl. He started following advice: being nice and calm, listening to her, and strangely... he found himself hooked to the girl.

What he didn't know is that she was tied to the worst beyblade organization that will take a big role in my AU: the KuroBey. She's actually the sister of the boss, and he's using her to get data from Kai's bey.

She obviously has a change of heart and ends up betraying Lucien (her brother) and staying with Kai.

The two actually get married, have Daniel, and live a happy life... until she disappeared all of a sudden when Dani was 6.

Since then, Kai became obsessed with finding her, to the point he forgot he had a son to raise.

Where did she go?

She's still fighting against Lucien. She just doesn't want her family to be involved.

odysseus — backstory & bey

- odysseus art by ximena natzel -

- bey design by me -

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

💜 - odysseus is a hobbiest bey mechanic and often challenges his opponents under the pretense of the loser giving up their bey. as such, he has a vast collect of beys at his disposal that he’s slowly mastered and experimented with over the years, including his trojan horse bey that he won nationals with. he often switches which one he’ll battle with, depending on the opponent, but striking cyclops is one that he tends to default to.

🩵 - cyclops was originally owned by poseidon, a member of ‘the jury’ (a title given to the twelve greatest bladers in the world) and it was used in a competition where it defeated, and actually destroyed, the bey belonging to polites. odysseus, in response, challenged poseidon to an unofficial match that poseidon lost, thus requiring him to hand over his striking cyclops to the victor. since then, poseidon has been vying for another, much more official, match trying to get his prized bey back.

💜 - odysseus was technically deemed apart of the jury after he defeated athena in a competitive match. however, he rejected the title and quit beyblading soon after so his being a member is in spirit alone. his fans see him as one, but the bey world and most of the jury members don’t, and it’s a constant feud between the communities, made worse by his disappearance from competitive blading. this is why his match against poseidon, which happened after he quit, was unofficial.

🩵 - very few people actually know why he quit, with athena being one of them after she tracked him down to ask why he refused her spot in the jury. basically, “the trojan war” equivalent here was a series of competitions (leading up to nationals), with the end goal being a chance to challenge a jury member of your choice for their spot. odysseus had obviously won and chose athena, but prior to that he had to battle alongside the greatest bladers of their time. one of them being hector, who lost in the finals despite being a fan favorite and, on his way out, said that he battled for his family but that the time and commitment required of him lead him missing a lot of milestones for his son, astyanax. odysseus, who had a son and wife of his own, was shaken by this encounter and opted to put down blading so he could raise his son.

💜 - the choice to reject his membership to the jury was seen as highly controversial, especially given how beloved hector was by everyone and how odysseus’ choice to deny the jury’s spot was essentially screwing him over. in odysseus’ defense, however, it wasn’t him who defeated hector. it was actually achilles, who knocked him out before odysseus could actually fight him. odysseus actually finds all the vitriol towards him to be wildly unjustified since he wasn’t the one who defeated achilles either! not that it really matters since odysseus doesn’t interact with that part of the community anymore and focuses far more on his personal life.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

🩵 - with a thick multi-layer fusion wheel emulating a rocky terrain, striker cyclops is a heavy-weight defense type with a round performance tip that allows for a smoother glide across the stadium. with its weight, however, cyclops is not built for high maneuverability or drawn out endurance battles. still, cyclops is able to deter even the most determined of bey attacks with it’s clunky top.

💜 - despite being a defense type, cyclops is known for its incredible attack power as well. specifically, to cover its own weaknesses, cyclops’ energy layer comes with a flowering design that sticks up in the air, allowing it to hook on to its opponent and deal a mighty blow when launched at an extreme angle (further sacrificing endurance and control) or when beginning to wobble/lose stamina. this typically allows cyclops to take its opponents down with it, but the dual-ring forge disc with a round performance tip will often allow cyclops the ability to recover just enough for a survivor finish.

— bey art* design notes —

Disclaimer: this bey is based more on the burst generation of beys, but I just cram shit together until it looks cool so it has aspects of the metal saga generation of beys and, as such, I use a combination of terms from both generations. None of this is particularly accurate to IRL beys or anything you’d find competitively.

The fusion wheel (the metal part of the top layer—the grey) is based on Polyphemus’ cave. the energy layer (the plastic part of the top layer— the purple and red) is based on the lotus flower and I decided to go with purple because I thought it tied nicely with the red of the Cyclops Saga, the lotus eaters had purple/pink eyes, and I wanted it to be a reference to Odysseus’ purple cloak in the Odyssey.

The lotus flower “death blow” concept is based on Polyphemus’ club and how it’s used in both the Cyclops and Circe Saga as this final move it only uses as a last resort. At first, I was going to base this idea on Xcalius (Xander’s bey in beyblade burst) because it has a sword on its energy layer that sticks out to hit opponents.

But there wasn’t a great way to do that without basically making it shaped like a sword. So, then, I played with the idea of adding a spin track with lotus “petals” that would extend like the claws from Flame Sagittario (Kenta’s bey in the metal saga)—

(Not my picture.)

—which is why those purple layers are there beneath the fusion wheel. But I didn’t like that either because it didn’t make much sense for the lotus flower concept and I didn’t like the idea of having a bunch of small claws to represent the club strikes. It didn’t have the right feeling of a one-hit smash like i associate with the club.

In the end, I decided to turn those rings into a weighted section of the performance tip to balance the top heaviness of the upper half and put the lotus flower on top to represent both the club falling and the way Polyphemus wobbled and crashed when he ate the lotus fruit.

*please note that I am NOT very good at art and I know my proportions and perspectives are kind of wonky. these are mostly proof of concept, rather than anything super clean. if you combine my traditional sketch with the digital one, you’ll get something close to what I actually envision it looking like lolol

[tangerine-and-ventus]

Guess what? I’m working on my own Beyblade AU!

It’s called Beyblade Metal Fusion: Remixed, or the Remix AU. My AU diverges from canon greatly and slightly. Here are the main details in my AU:

There is a musical motif in addition to the show’s constellation motif

Gingka, Kyoya, and Ryuga’s names will be spelled as Ginga, Kyouya, and Ryuuga

The characters keep their personalities but have different things about them: for example, Kyouya does martial arts, Ginga wants to be an astronomer and a DJ, and Hikaru is an actual DJ and a surfer

Kenta gets redesigned the most because his canon design makes him look like a background character

There will be four original characters: one working for Dark Nebula and three being Hikaru’s friends

The only headcanons I will be putting in this AU for the characters' (except Doji and my original characters) ages

Madoka is a Blader; her Bey is Mad Northern Cross according to the Beyblade wiki (I made up its Special Move)

Kyouya and Benkei get new character arcs

Madoka gets her own character arc

[uhhhgust]

Luka from alien stage in beyblade because I have free will >:]

[atemins]

Started rewatching an old show, started listening to some songs and bam a new story is born

Most chaotic MFB Beyblade AU to pop up into my head. Part 3: Metal Fury

Part 1: https://www.tumblr.com/eternalnexuswarrior/745518197057404928/most-chaotic-mfb-beyblade-au-to-pop-up-into-my?source=share

Part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/eternalnexuswarrior/745524457497591808/most-chaotic-mfb-beyblade-au-to-pop-up-into-my?source=share

And then… Metal Fury. Ho boy, this is a wild ride.

Dynamis explains what happened with the star fragment, as his arcs’ episodes showed he was the one to split the star fragments, but didn't know where they went. So when Kyoya and Gingka revealed their beys evolved, he starts freaking out. And then when Ryuga and Yuki's beys are evolved, that's when he comes to the conclusion.

Dynamis: Did the star fragments literally go to every single one of us? Like is this the reason we are linked together?!

Gingka: Only one way to find out. Road Trip!

Thus starts the journey to find the other legendary bladers, except Ryutaro joins in with the group. Canon events happen, with some changes. The boys meet up with Aguma and Bao in the tournament (with Bao knowing the whole story, those two have a brotherly bond and you can't convince me otherwise). Johannes goes after them to recruit the beylin fist without knowing Aguma and Bao are already on the Legendary Bladers’ side, and the two decide heck it, let's spy on them, because it's gone well in the past. Next is to New York for Destroyer Dome, where we learn some new details about some of the boys. Dynamis wasn't too happy about the temple holding VariAres being destroyed.

Dynamis: “You destroyed your family's temple?”

Kyoya: “You're so screwed.”

Gingka (slightly terrified): “I don't think I've ever heard Dynamis this mad before.”

Yeah... don't destroy temples around the historian/lorekeeper/guardian. He's not a happy person when you do that.

Anyways!

The boys finally get to Mist Mountain, run into Ryuto, and scale the mountain. Via their spying, Aguma and Bao get into some battles, Johannes starts getting into Kyoya's head. Canon events continue up until the end, where instead after Kyoya leaves the temple, he just goes outside to take a breather. The other legendary bladers are there to pick up the pieces of Kyoya's emotions, and eventually Kyoya stays the night before parting to help find Tithi. Both Tithi and Chris’ searches fall around the same time frame, and everyone is happy. Except for one thing.

Pluto.

He barges in on the middle of this happy group and activates Dynamis’ curse like the smug little man he is. This puts all the legendary bladers on high alert to get to Nemesis’ revival site to save their friend. Some battles happen as Canon, although some interactions are adjusted for this AU. At some point it goes from the standard Chris VS Gingka, Yuki VS Cycnus, Dynamis VS Kyoya, and Aguma VS Tithi to Aguma, Kyoya, and Tithi teaming up to save Dynamis, and Gingka, Yuki, and Chris just wrecking Cycnus and causing mayhem.

Now where is Ryuga in all this?

Still training to get stronger and master L-Drago, and Kenta is determined to recruit Ryuga to help. The Sagitarrio blader took Ryuga's not willing to join in on the search as him not helping his friends (when it's really the opposite, Ryuga just isn't one for big groups). Eventually the misunderstanding is cleared up, and Kenta actually grows on the L-Drago blader. All the while he's just giving commentary on the whole thing.

Ryuga: Gingka your friend is not half bad as a blader as he thinks he is. He cracked L-Drago's face bolt this time.

Gingka: Oh wow! That's some strength!

The remaining events in the temple fall under Canon, Doji returns (and is the menace that he is except he throws his own bey in there to bait Ryuga to breaking formation). Ryuga actually stays with the group while they all heal, but still gets badly injured during the final battle and gives Kenta his star fragment (he's living though, screw the anime on that). The final battle happens and they all recover again together. Kenta ends up linked to their group during the final battle, and he's not expecting the chaos of it all in the days after that.Part 3 will probably cover personality differences and AU changes for our boys.

Digimon for Beybladers

I used a quiz i found (https://www.quotev.com/quiz/15588026/What-Digimon-is-your-partner) to see which Digimon Gingka, Kyoya, Kenta, Tsubasa, and Ryuga would get. The test only gives you one digimon regardless of level, but I tried to add some of the evolutions according to vibes. I skipped a couple of levels for some of them, cause most of them get the Starfragments, which I feel like would be a warp-digivolution?

In Summary: Gingka got Bulucomon, Kyoya got Bancholeomon, Kenta got Labramon, Tsubasa got Aegiomon, and Ryuga got Impmon X. Below the cut I have visuals of all of these, plus their evolution lines and my own thoughts on the digimon, plus what I would have picked for them if I actually chose the digimon instead of leaving it up to the test. This is all super rushed and doesn't look super pretty haha.

Here's Gingka:

I Like the aesthetics of this one, but I don't know anything about these digimon. I think the colors and over-all shapes match Ginkga, but I think I would have chosen either Pegasusmon or some other star/storm themed Digimon.

Kyoya:

I thought it was super funny I got a Leomon for Kyoya, and even funnier I got the extra rare never-beaten-in-a-battle Unbreakable-Spirit Leomon. I didn't like any of the evolution lines that I could find for BanchoLeomon, but I feel like Kyoya would be the guy with a Mega Digimon. I would have to look at other Leomons, or even Wind-Type Digimon, but I actually really like this pairing! the only con In my opinion is the lack of evolutions that fit.

Kenta:

Ooooh i hated this one :) Labramon is fine for Kenta, I guess, but the main evolution line for Labramon is Dobermon to Cerberusmon, and those are not Kenta's type of Digimon. So I was able to find Seasarmon, and I guess when Kenta gets Ryuga's star fragment Labramon would leap to Ancientsphinxmon. I definitely don't think Labramon fits Kenta, but I would have to find either a centaur, an Archer, or some other fiery/claw digimon for him.

Tsubasa:

THIS ONE IS SO FUNNY. Like, what do you mean Mr. I-Adopted-Yu-and-am-headcanoned-as-an-older-brother Tsubasa got a whole child as a digimon? and when that child "grows up" it becomes Horned Tsubasa? Makes Tsubasa's arc of being possessed by Darkness really interesting (which is why the Dark one is here haha)(also these are so blurry but it's hard to find good digimon pics that aren't fanart) I really love the look of this team, but I feel very weird about having a whole child as a Digimon. Maybe something similar to Hawkmon for Tsubasa? I don't know.

And Finally, Ryuga:

Idk why his background is brighter than the rest. But I got Impmon X, which is really interesting! So I gave him Baalmon X just because in my mind I connect Impmon-Wizardmon-Baalmon in an evolution line, and Ryuga already has a super unique bey. If I had chosen his Digimon instead of leaving it to a personality quiz, I definitely would have given Ryuga something more Dragon-y.

I don't have a huge list of digimon off the top of my head, but I think I might definitely go through and find better suited Digimon for my bladers haha.

Greetings Aduah

I have something to ask you if it's okay

Cn we have Sonia's backstory?

I really like your ocs and au in general ❤️

I have a counter question: why Sonia?? Is it because I've rarely talked about her? Is it because she died young and never got the chance to be a mother???

And kjshfaksjdfhlaskdjhfasd thanks a lot!!! Glad you like my stuff!!! ;;;

Well, whatever's the reason, LET'S DITCH EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SAID ABOUT HER AND SASHA because I'm gonna re-write her (and consequentially their) backstory NOW!

Long text ahead, sorry!

Sonia and Sasha Vittoriani were born on March 7th, 1990 in a little town in Tuscany (yeah, let's ditch the "they're from Rome" thing because of personal reasons). They grew up in a quiet environment, surrounded by mountains but also a few minutes from the sea, so they got to experience both of them! Sonia was more of a sea person, while Sasha was more of a mountain one.

Except for this, the two were close and similar: they both liked hanging out with friends, shopping, music, and dancing. As kids, they liked to dress the same, but as teens, Sonia took more of a "tomboy" style while Sasha was pretty feminine. Still, their stiles would match, no matter what!

Sonia had a passion for dancing, stronger than her sister, that's why she attended dance classes since she was 6.

They both discovered Beyblade when the first world tournament was being broadcast and immediately decided they wanted to try it! And... they sucked, lol. But still, they loved the sport immensely, so much so that they started saving and making plans to actually go see one live!

They managed to do so for the GRev one when they got in Italy, and here, the first headcanon for Sonia and Takao starts.

While Takao was hanging around with Tao, at some point he walked away from all that "fashion shopping" to relax, and sat right next to Sonia. Needless to say, Sonia almost died when she realized she was sitting next to Takao! She tried to make small talk in English, but Takao pretty much ignored her and left when he saw his team in difficulty against BORG. Sonia couldn't shut up about the encounter the whole day with Sasha (notice: Sasha had the same experience (sort of) with Max, who was still pretty down because everyone was against the PPB, but the two managed to have a talk and also exchange contacts!).

Jump one year later; there was a contest and the winner would have the possibility to follow around the Japanese team for the whole duration of the WBC! The twins did their best and actually got picked, so they got to follow the reformed G Revolution around the world as they fought!

Takao and Sonia... didn't get along too much, because everytime Takao tried to teach her beyblade, she would fail. It was some sort of Daichi vs Takao all over again, but everyone teased that they liked each other. They... did. But they wouldn't admit it.

They start to talk more and hang out more, and at the end of the tournament, when the team wins, Sonia can't hold it and kisses Takao in front of the whole stadium. And from there, they're together!

They managed to make it work through distance thanks to raising technology, emails, and chats, and sometimes they would visit each other (of course, Max or Sasha would tag along for convenience!).

She was with him when he started having heart problems. She kept around when Takao revealed he still had a big crush on Kai and was jealous of Lara (Takao is actually poly). She did all she could to make it work, even if... things started to deteriorate from that confession.

She became anxious and jealous, the two would argue more than before, and probably they would've broken up if... she hadn't gotten pregnant.

She was sure that now Takao would stick around, and he tried his best, without telling her that he was being eaten alive by stress and anxiety, and his heart was holding all that weight.

It wasn't good.

Everything ended on a faithful night when Sonia was involved in a car accident with her older brother Gabriele.

Takao took the first plane he could find, but when he arrived, she was gone. And Yury was there.

He decided to move to Italy to take care of the baby, helped by Sonia's family.

Sasha held a grudge against Takao for a long time, saying that her sister should be there, not the kid. Takao too lived with guilt for years, trying to push it back to make sure Yury could grow up without worries.

I have a HC that, if she had survived, probably she would have lied to Takao and said the kid died, to cut all ties with Takao. She would also lie to Sasha, telling her the kid she saw around was someone else's. That would be a really depressing, bad ending AU, even more than the normal one.

More self indulgent posting for Beyblade because why not- LET'S TALK ABOUT CAMP HALF BLOOD AU!!!

Picrew credit

First up my beloveeeed Tyson, aka son of Zeus. Being the son of the King of Gods of course he's blessed with a lot of abilities, but his control over the winds and lightning is the most powerful tool under his belt. He loses his mother when he's about 9 to mysterious circumstances which aren't clarified to him until much later. His stepfather at the time doesn't care for him much and sends him to a military school for problematic kids where he spends two years avoiding monsters until finally he runs away and makes it to Camp Half-Blood. It takes a few months for Zeus to claim him, till then he spends time at Cabin 11 (Hermes) where he makes fast friends with Charlie (OC). After he is claimed and assigned his first quest, he discovers during the quest that his mother just didn't die a mysterious natural death, but was murdered because of a plot instilled by Hera and then swears that he'll never answer to the goddess' call or prophecy (which proves almost fatal to him in the future as well). His sword-fighting skills are topnotch, thanks to his maternal grandfather a kendo specialist, who comes looking for him after he finishes a year at Camp Half-Blood and takes him in during the school year since then.

Hilary is the daughter of Athena and has been around at the camp the longest as her father her dropped her there when she turned 5 and didn't try to reconnect with her until she was much older. Despite many other kids being older than her, she's still the most sought-after for advice regarding quests because her strategic thinking is almost unparalleled within Cabin 6, however, she isn't allowed to join her first quest until Tyson rolls into the camp. She's sceptical of his presence because a child of the Big Three never not comes with problems but warms up to him eventually after they successfully complete a quest together. She understands his dislike towards Hera but tries to maintain a good relationship with the goddess herself, which eventually leads to them being dragged into a quest at the behest of Hera. This creates a big divide between her and Tyson, after the quest is over and the two go back for the school year, they don't keep in touch at all and don't speak to each other until the next summer. She's good with any kind of weapon, being the daughter of Athena, but prefers a bow and arrow.

Kai is the oldest camper and is the son of Ares. He's mostly quiet and barely noticeable around the camp until a battle comes by where you might hear his infamous scream that stops everyone in their tracks for a full minute helping him gain full control of the battlefield. He has very faint pyrokinetic abilities as well, but they only activate during stressful situations. Ares is also very open about claiming Kai as his favourite kid. His preferred weapon is a sword, and he's in charge of conducting the sword fighting lessons at the camp.He prefers to take solo quests despite Chiron's many attempts to team him up with other kids, and his first quest as a team is with Tyson (Tyson's 3rd Quest) when they're prepping to infiltrate a monster army base led by the Titans, but the two often butt heads and end up half failing the mission, leading a handful of monsters back to the camp which turns the whole camp into a warzone when they're not prepared for it. The only thing the two agree on is their dislike for Hera and the need to smash monsters into dust.

Now I thought a lot about Max but finally decided to make him a son of Apollo instead of Poseidon because he matches up so well with Will Solace in terms of personality and because with the stupidity/rashness levels of Tyson & Kai, they need a healer in the group. Apart from being one of the strongest Healers from Cabin 7, Max is also a talented archer and singer, and the most popular boy in Camp Half-Blood. Apollo is very openly proud of him and gifts him a magical quiver that never runs out of arrows after he completes his first-ever quest with Tyson and Hilary.

Charlie (OC) is the daughter of Hermes and usually prefers to sit out quests. She claims she's more interested in helping around at the Camp rather than monster fighting, but the truth is that after losing her sister (from her mortal parent) while making her way to Camp Half-Blood, she's just afraid that she's not strong enough to protect anyone else. The Oracle however picks her as the lead for a quest that requires stealing back important magical items from the Titan's monster army and through that quest Charlie is finally able to get over her fear of questing. She's friends with almost every Cabin and is usually the mastermind behind every major prank that happens at the Camp. She's a Capture the Flag expert and every year she makes other Cabins bid for Cabin 11's support using camp chores as leverage.

Rei arrives at the camp very late, and although his mother, Nemesis claims him instantly, since there is no cabin at the time for minor gods, he bunks at Cabin 11. He prefers not to divulge any information about his life outside of Camp Half-Blood which makes everyone at the camp naturally more curious towards him. He has his mother's blessing of perpetual good luck which makes him the most sought out companion for quests. Despite his cool demeanour and usually balanced outlook on life, Tyson notices that Rei doesn't really enjoy being bunkmates with Cabin 11 and at first, Tyson's protests for getting a Cabin in Nemesis's name aren't heard so he invites Rei to sleep at Cabin 1 which is obviously empty apart from Tyson. This doesn't sit well with anyone, but especially not with Hilary since it's breaking a major rule and tradition, and only sours things further between her and Tyson. Rei is grateful however for having more space for himself and he mentions this to Nemesis during one of his offerings, which ends up making the Goddess fond of Tyson as well so she always tries to make sure good luck is on his side. His preferred choice of a weapon is a dagger, though he does well with a sword as well.

[I don't think I need to spell out the ships since they're obvious but uh TyHil, KaixOc and ReiMax are endgame though there is a bit of drama involved with Mao and Mathilda (Aphrodite's daughters) in the middle.]

Fuck it, Beyblade AU
