.:Originally made August 25th-28th, 2023:.

Redesigning (and color adjusting) a buncha ocs ops Also just a little note, I usually draw Winter (the red and black dog character) in a wheelchair; this redesign does not mean they don't use one anymore, they're a part timer (they were always a part timer, I just usually drew them in the chair). I drew them standing to show the outfit design better, aight that's it ovo)-b

I Married a Dragon (Prime Mating Agency #6) by Regine Abel

This will be a sort of part 1 of 2 post as I read the two most recent Prime Mating Agency books but felt they deserved their own respective posts.

Regine Abel is another top 5 author of the monster fucker genre for me. Her plots are always interesting, her monsters/aliens are loveable, strange, and always come with a wealth of background and culture to them (plus they pack some series heat below the belt), and I find she has easily likeable female leads that range across the board in personality. Her world building is outstanding and probably my favorite out of anyone's so far. Plus, I love the illustrations that you can find at the end of her books to really help build the imagination.

Kaida, an enforcer with the UPO (United Planetary Organization), is a tough, duty-driven cookie with a soft heart and a propensity to struggle with letting go of her human societal norms. To be fair, I'm not exactly one to want to walk around naked in public either, whether it's an alien world or not. Despite her hesitations, after discovering she is the one and only person who can aid the Shadow Lord Cedros, Kaida slowly but surely adapts to a slogan of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" as she signs up for a temporary marriage to the big guy. Her key word is temporary as she wasn't exactly anticipating this derailment of her life in the middle of a mission...

Cedros is a Shadow Lord of his world, practically a god to his people as he protects those who get lost in the veil, defeats the vicious aqrats and whatever else may lie in the darkest shadows, and copes with his isolation from society. As a Shadow Lord he faces great discomfort without his ejaya, the only being who can soothe the toxins he encounters in battle and aids in keeping him balanced around those who cannot control their powers. He is socially awkward, adorably innocent, and fiercely protective. He is one of my favorite monstrous males from the series. His innocent honesty and bluntness create some of the most endearing moments that had me kicking my legs like a schoolgirl.

The smut is a bit slow to show up as this is a slow burn, but once it does... It's worth it. While it's not got the most toe-curling, in-depth description I think it fits perfectly within the rest of the story and there is come creativity used between Cedros and Kaida in order to get things to fit.

Outside of the focal point on Kaida and Cedros' romance lies the secondary plot of the shadow obsidian smuggling. Kaida initially agrees to this temporary marriage in order to help out Cedros but also in order to protect the UPO as she works to discover why shadow obsidian, used to open portals, is somehow ending up in the hands of those outside of Cedros' world.

For such immense plots that could easily be expanded on and brought into even greater detail Regine Abel does an amazing job of keeping everything well rounded and evenly paced in these 267 pages. Out of the entire Prime Mating Agency series I have to say this book is my absolute favorite. An innocent but strong male lead, a protective and hesitant-to-love female lead, a slow burn romantic plot aided by an interesting side plot, truly this is some of her best work. I highly recommend this entire series and will be reviewing the next addition as well. 10/10.

Would I read again? Absolutely! I want all the Cedros content, I love him so much.

Would I recommend! 1000000000% Please check out the whole series!

The Ramsund carving, believed to have been carved around 1030, was found close to Ramsund, Sweden. It is considered part of the “Sigurd stones”, a group of eight or nine runic inscriptions which can be found in Sweden, with all pertaining to the myth of the hero Sigurðr. The Ramsund stone depicts scenes from the Völsunga Saga, which go as follows:

Sigurðr preparing a fire to roast the dragon Fáfnir’s heart, as instructed by his uncle Regin. Having burnt himself in the process, Sigurðr sticks his finger in his mouth. He is soon to discover that the dragon’s blood which stained his finger gave him the ability to understand the language of birds as they sang.

The birds warn Sigurðr that Regin intends to kill him and take the dragon Fáfnir’s treasure for himself.

This prompts Sigurðr to end the life of his treacherous uncle, whose body now lies next to his smithing tools.

Sigurðr’s horse Grani now carries the dragon’s treasure.

Depiction of Sigurðr killing Fáfnir: having concealed himself in a hole outside the dragon’s lair, he waited for it to crawl outside and towards the river to go and drink so he could stab upwards into the beast’s heart.

Depiction of the three brothers, Regin, Fáfnir (whose greed turned him into a dragon), and Ótr, who appears along with his brethren at the beginning of the saga.

Timeless

Pairing: Amren x GN! Reader

Warnings: Nothing just fluff

Summary: You were looking everywhere for your long lost lover

Masterlist

You travelled from court to court, trying to find your long-lost love. It's nearly two hundred years since you started your journey in autumn court. You didn't stay long there. The high lord made you uncomfortable, instead deciding going to next court. Coldnest of your home for few decades contrasting warm of autumn, yet it was strangely comforting for you.

Cold always reminding you of your lover. The dragon you used to fight wars with, flying through the skies like you were rulers of them, it was the love you find only once in a lifetime. You couldn't help but smile remembering the kisses you shared. The smiles that were held unknown in front of your friends. The sweet smile you held quickly disappears at the thought that your lover might have found someone else, or even be long dead. You didn't let these dark thoughts couldn't cloud your mind. You survived regin of Amarantha, the end of your home, now it's time to find what happened to your only true love. It didn't matter if she's dead or happy with someone else. You needed to know what happened with her.

Night court, your last visit. Walking through every court and befriending High Lords and their families was a fun adventure. You had to admit, this journey was more than enjoyable. Even without the lover you were looking for, you still found excitement and positivity in this. Many friends were made on the way that made you feel safe, no matter what you knew that they had your back.

If this didn't end with finding your lover. You would probably go to the day court, enjoy the atmosphere, and sun rays with one of the kindest and funniest high lord you met.

You looked in the mirror for the last time, carefully preparing yourself to look presentable for the meeting with Rhysand. The sparkly silver dress you choose pooled at your feet, hugging your curves just right in every place. You were ready, last chance to find at least a little bit of information about her.

The residence of Rhysand was beautiful, with paintings on every wall. Some of them were pictures of landscape and some family portraits, and all of them were drawn by high lady herself.

You turned into hall where the meeting was supposed to be held when something made you stop in place.

It was her.

Your long lost lover, your only love, the woman who captured your heart, Amren.

She seemed to notice the change of atmosphere in the room. Turning around too slowly for your liking. She had fae body now, same as you. But that didn't stop your soul from recognising her. The one you promise to love till the end of the time. "Y/N"

In the blink of an eye, she was in front of you emotions swirling in her eyes.

"Is it really you?" She cupped your cheek so delicately, like she was scared you're going to disappear under her touch. "Yes, it's really me"

She buried her face in your neck, her arms snaking around your waist while you started to draw circles on her back. "I thought you were dead. I thought that I had lost you forever. " You could hear her voice slowly breaking at the weight of ger words. "You can't get rid of me so easily. I was looking everywhere for you. I was in every court there is, trying to find any piece of information about you, " saying that lifted so much weight of your shoulders, finally feeling free and whole.

"I somehow always knew that you and I would've found each other." She looked you deep in the eyes, sending you all love through the mate bond your new fae bodies gave you. Her lips held a smile that she only showed in front of people she trusted the most. The smile that she didn't show in two hundred years cause the only person who she trusted wholeheartedly wasn't with her. But now you're here, real, unharmed, and prettier than she remembered.

"I believe that we were supposed to find this, so even in a different life, you would've still been mine." Without leaving you space to answer, she kissed you. You could remember the last time you kissed as it was tomorrow, yet this time it was different, this time it was deeper, more feelings were put into this, telling each other how much you missed each other.

"We would've been timeless"

Sigurd and Fafnir

So the short version of this legend:

Fafnir is a poison breathing dragon that was once a dwarf that got transformed into a dragon by the cursed ring Andvaranaut.

Sigurd is the hero that slays Fafnir and takes the cursed ring. He also cooks Fafnir's heart and eats it. This gives him valuable wisdom.

I've actually made a serious error though. Sigurd slayed Fafnir with the sword Gram and not a spear like in the picture here. Gram was forged by the Dwarf Regin, foster father to Sigurd and brother to the dragon Fafnir. But Regin did not give the sword directly to Sigurd but actually to Odin himself. Odin then gave the sword to Sigmund, the real father to Sigurd. Later Odin breaks the sword into pieces (why? It's complicated). Later Regin reforges the sword for Sigurd. After slaying the dragon Sigurd also slays Regin since, by eating the dragons heart he had gained the knowledge that Regin would betray him.

Sigurd is later killed because of some drama between his two wives. Yes, two wives is more dangerous than a dragon, this is well known.

House of the Dragon 2, Episodio 6 (Smallfolks): Women Power!

È un passo a due quello del sesto episodio della seconda stagione di House of the Dragon (2x06): Rhaenyra e Mysaria, Daemon e Alys, Aegon e Aemond. Una danza parallela a quella dei draghi, ma che non si evolve come vi aspettereste.

House of the Dragon* continua sulla scia delle puntate che solo apparentemente sono statiche, di strategia e non di azione, ma è solo un'impressione. Lo spin-off del Trono di Spade, con il sesto episodio della seconda stagione si avvicina verso il gran finale. Tuttavia, dopo il quarto sconvolgente episodio, qualcuno si è lamentato dell'eccessivo andamento altalenante della narrazione.

Emma D'Arcy e la sua Rhaenyra rimangono uno dei fiori all'occhiello della serie

Dispiace leggerlo in giro perché sembra che gli spettatori non abbiano più pazienza. Pazienza di gustarsi l'episodio settimanale con calma; pazienza di attendere gli sviluppi dei personaggi e delle storyline, che non sono sempre immediati, come la scrittura originaria di George R.R. Martin, del resto, insegna. Poi, la pazienza di non pretendere svariate morti truculente in ogni episodio, altrimenti anche il realismo drammatico in salsa fantasy del mondo delle Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco rischia di sgretolarsi.

La rivincita dei "bastardi"

Nel finale del quinto episodio Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) insieme al primogenito Jace (Harry Collett) aveva avuto la folle idea (degna del nome della Casa che porta) di riunire gli eredi di altre famiglie di Westeros che avevano del sangue Targaryen nelle vene da antiche discendenze per provare a forgiare nuovi cavalieri di draghi. Perché, nella Danza dei Draghi oramai entrata nel vivo, bisogna averne di più, averli più grandi e saperli cavalcare. Purtroppo la Regina legittima erede al Trono di Spade ne ha persi due in poco tempo: prima quello di Daemon (Matt Smith), oramai arroccato ad Harrenhal preparando sostanzialmente si un'offensiva contro i verdi ma anche contro la moglie; e poi Rhaenys il cui drago è stato ucciso in battaglia, creando stupore e scalpore in tutto il regno.

In quest'ottica l'idea potrebbe essere geniale… oppure rivelarsi un pericoloso fiasco totale: se andrà male, chi altro senza sangue puro e primario potrà mai avere il coraggio di avvicinarsi nuovamente ad una di quelle mitiche creature sputafuoco? Questi "pretendenti" non sono gli unici "bastardi" (non in senso letterale) estraniati su cui si concentra la puntata: torna il fratello di Daemon e Viserys, che torna in un cameo inaspettato attraverso le visioni del Principe Consorte e che farà felice i fan, torna il fratello di Alicent che la aggiorna sull'altro suo figlio, Daeron, riflettendo su come sarebbero state le loro vite se il padre Otto avesse puntato tutto sul primogenito e non su di lei.

Una donna tra gli uomini

Proprio Alicent (Olivia Cooke) è di nuovo al centro dell'episodio in modo speculare rispetto a Rhaenyra e in questo House of the Dragon continua il discorso sul women power della scorsa: come dicevamo, due fazioni, stessa famiglia allargata, due concili ristretti eppure stesse problematiche da affrontare per le due Regine e stesso ragionamento patriarcale figlio del tempo fantastico, ma a tratti socialmente fin troppo reale, che racconta. Eppure proprio in questo spin-off venuto temporalmente ben prima degli eventi, Ryan Condal riesce ad essere ancora più moderno e legato ai tempi che corrono.

Il verde del vestito di Alicent è di nuovo protagonista e simbolico

Con un plot twist perfettamente coerente col racconto imbastito finora che riguarda Rhaenyra e che la conferma un'abile stratega grazie anche alla sua (oramai) consigliera Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno), riesce a fare, metaforicamente parlando, breccia tra le mura di King’s Landing. Alicent invece partendo da suo padre Otto continua ad essere usata da tutti gli uomini della sua vita - compreso Ser Criston, se ci fermiamo a riflettere un attimo - e, quando ha mal interpretato le parole del marito in punto di morte, pensava di poter controllare Aegon ed ora si è ritrovata per le mani il regno del terrore di Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), che è pronto a distruggere tutto quello che c'è stato prima in nome del piano machiavellico che ha in mente.

Fratelli coltelli

Il sadismo di Aemond la fa da padrone nella puntata

Il sesto episodio è davvero un eterno passo a due tra le coppie di personaggi citate, in precedenza, e tra queste non si può escludere proprio il Re Usurpatore e suo fratello con la benda sull'occhio. Ci sono almeno due sequenze profondamente inquietanti e disturbanti tra i due Targaryen che lasciano col fiato sospeso. Così come qualche altra scena particolarmente avvincente che passa solo in parte all'azione ma che contribuisce a giocare con lo spettatore che dalla narrativa di Martin si aspetta sempre il peggio dietro l'angolo.

Non sono gli unici due parenti di sangue che si confronteranno in questo episodio, mentre Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) - altro personaggio sempre più chiave proprio come Mysaria - continua con le proprie affermazioni sibilline e il proprio carisma magico e mistico, consigliera di un uomo sempre più in balia dei propri demoni, di nome e di fatto. Parallelamente il serial affronta la questione sociale del popolo affamato, e ancora una volta le due parti della stessa Casa avranno un atteggiamento molto diverso sul problema. La risposta, neanche a farlo apposta, è nei draghi.

Conclusioni

In conclusione Il sesto episodio della seconda stagione di House of the Dragon (2x06) è sicuramente un episodio di passaggio – il precedente era più un “post mortem” - ma allo stesso tempo è ricco di sequenze angoscianti e piene di significato che ci dicono molto sui personaggi e sulla loro involuzione più che evoluzione. È come se stessero tutti sprofondando in un abisso sempre più nero dal quale sarà difficile tirare fuori qualcosa di buono. A rimetterci però è sempre il popolo dei Sette Regni, che inizia ad insorgere pesantemente e pericolosamente.

👍🏻

Strutturare la puntata a coppie di personaggi, consanguinei e non, con qualche colpo di scena in canna.

Il sadismo di Aemond.

L’idea dei consanguinei “latenti” in una serie sulla successione di sangue.

È un episodio sicuramente di passaggio (anche se in realtà ricco di vari spunti narrativi).

La perdita della bussola di Daemon potrebbe urtare i fan del personaggio, n ma resta in linea per come ci era stato presentato fin dall’inizio della serie.

👎🏻

In molti sicuramente troveranno qualcosa che non va, del resto è l'hobby del fandom di Hotd di questionare su qualsiasi dettaglio, ma per questa puntata mi astengo perchè non ho trovato nulla di rilevante che non mi sia piaciuto.

[suffarustuffaru]

please tell me the otto and reinhard rare pair analysis

HAH thank you for asking because your ask is finally pushing me to finish that analysis 🙏 ok lets get into it… this is. a very long analysis!!

so firstly—the suwens and astreas have briefly crossed paths before. i cant 100% go into detail because i still havent finished the wilhelm and theresia centric ex novels, but rezero wiki says this about ottos grandfather (yaktol):

(veltol and tishua are theresias parents btw)

theres also the fact that the suwens’ hometown is picoutatte, which is historically where stride vollachia caused A Shit Ton of chaos that the astreas and wilhelm had to fight back against. wilhelm and kurgan (someone close to stride) dueled there, and then theres the fact that stride not too long after that summons a dragon in picoutatte using the sacrifices of twenty Divine Protection holders T^T on top of causing a shit ton of other deaths as well!! so like—yes suwens and astreas have kind of sort of briefly crossed paths apart from the suwens definitely knowing the astreas because the astreas are Famous.

ok now moving on to otto and reinhard specifically—they parallel in a lot of ways, and the first way is their families. the suwens are an established and decently well known merchant family based in picoutatte, known as the commercial city. the astreas, of course, are well known for the sword saint line and are very much a warrior family. the roles and career paths otto and reinhard go down follow in their family’s footsteps Exactly, but of course the key difference is that otto has a loving family.

the thing with ottos divine protection is that it wouldve been Extremely easy for him to go insane with it, and iirc there Have been other people than otto to get his divine protection and then Go Insane, so theres a sense that otto turning out mostly alright is a Rarity. and i think that makes sense, because a dp where your senses are Constantly Overwhelmed from birth because of all the constant noise from animals? like otto is right in saying thats literal hell. and thats not to mention that sometimes animals and nature are Brutal, so little kid otto is taking in All of this. but i think otto in large part turned out alright because of his family. they were patient and loving with him and his parents took him to every doctor they could in order to figure out what was bothering otto. his older brother oslo eventually taught him to read and write and Communicate and like—i think its SO telling that oslo and oslo and otto’s parents START CRYING when otto starts communicating by writing down “thank you for everything” to them. like they care for otto and this is such a Huge Milestone on top of those sweet words after otto hasnt been able to respond to any of them, so Of Course the other suwens get emotional. and in general otto being Plagued with bad luck and getting into All Sorts of Trouble, including being chased out of his own hometown by assassins, is like. the suwens are again patient and loving with otto and try to help him out the best they can (such as when they got him merchant connections after he left his hometown so he could be a traveling merchant). theres also frufoo, ottos ground dragon (whos BASICALLY family to him, given how much she acts like a grandma and how close they are), who was most likely acquired by ottos family since iirc ottos known her since he was a kid!! and then otto also Chooses to become a merchant like most of his family. ottos younger brother regin becomes a vet (which is a decision inspired by otto because regin grew to love animals because of otto!!), so otto Really was not required to become a merchant. but he chose to Anyway because thats his passion and thats where his skills lie in.

and in regards to reinhard, well. ok we all know how awful his family gets towards him, but similar to otto—reinhard is born with divine protections. Many of them. and they all affect how he sees and experiences the world, similar to otto, but to a more Extreme extent in ways different to otto. like reinhard in that sense Isnt unlucky like otto is. i mean ottos luck had him in situations like nearly drowning as a baby or falling down stairs (implying that otto mightve been one of those kids that gets scrapes and bruises everywhere bc he keeps getting into shenanigans akdndn). but reinhard because of his dps has basically No Normal Experience. like he doesnt get sick. he doesnt get physically hurt in a lot of ways. etc etc. reinhard also has the ability to get ottos exact dp if reinhard ever gets into a situation where he specifically needs it. but reinhard of course doesnt have a choice in so much of this. otto of course didnt choose to be born with his dp, but he learns to function with his dp and use it to his advantage (including making animal friends!! like frufoo!!) with the help of his family. reinhard is. well because of his family situation and DP situation hes been Almost entirely on his own his whole life. and reinhard IS on his own because of how. special. he is. that and he of course has Zero say in whether he wants to be the sword saint or not. the world has decided that for him and he Has to do it. theres no choice there. otto and reinhard both have the legacy of their families behind them, but otto embraces it and reinhard is Forced into it. reinhard Suffers because of his familys legacy. meanwhile, the reason why otto manages to go on with his life as a mostly hopeful person is Because of his familys love!!

additionally, reinhard and otto grew up lonely. like reinhard only makes his first friend, julius, when reinhards fourteen. and ottos first Human friend is subaru, when ottos like twenty!! otto of course struggled to make human friends as a kid because he was behind in his social development and also accidentally did shit like Summon a whole Swarm of Insects into his town, so no duh otto didnt make human friends T^T for otto and reinhard its hard to make human connections when your dps make you So Different from the people around you!! how do you connect with others then? except ottos dp is in of itself About connection. his dp is entirely based on the ability to communicate—with animals, yes, but we see him make all kinds of animal friends throughout his life. again, frufoo’s his lifelong ground dragon companion, and otto often calls on the help of animals (who CHOOSE to help him). so otto wasnt Entirely lonely, especially when he had his family, hence why he very much did not turn out Super depressed as a teen and adult. reinhard of course was Very Lonely. on the other hand.

that, and i think it cant be denied that reinhard and ottos later connections to subaru are in some way Special to them. subaru was the one person who had no idea what the astreas and sword saints are and just saw reinhard For reinhard, which reinhard probably latches onto a bit, especially given the fact that reinhard just claims subaru as a best friend when the two havent even interacted that much in the main route? when you factor in reinhard if from lost in memories, subaru being special to reinhard gets clearer too—reinhard in that route just constantly comes to subarus aid EVEN IF subaru doesnt even call him. reinhard basically acts like a puppy eagerly following you and wagging its tail, and subaru is special because of his Particular attitude of being so Loud and Bold. which is also what draws otto to subaru!! otto specifically was captured by the witch cult and subarus decisions in main route lead to him being saved, and then later otto notes that from the moment hes met subaru, subaru acts like theyve always been close friends—which of course endears otto to subaru. to the point where otto RISKS HIS LIFE in sanctuary helping subaru and then he chooses to follow subaru into emilia camp. i think that the thing with reinsuba vs ottosuba is that reinhard wants friends and to be Equal and close to someone so badly, while otto was pretty decently content being a traveling merchant for years with just frufoo at his side. subaru, like many other people, looks Up to reinhard… but theyre not exactly equals because of reinhards status and power and reinhard is painfully aware of that. otto and subaru on the other hand are arguably the closest to being equals out of everyone, i think—in status and power levels and intellect and the roles they play in their camp. and by arc 5, reinhard is aware of otto of course being the emilia camps internal affairs minister and also being a close friend to subaru—and speaking of the reinhard-otto rarepair, i do think reinhard might even be a little bit jealous, if you really want to go that route. otto is a close friend and Equal to subaru. reinhard wants that so badly because no matter how much he registers his friends as his equals, his friends dont usually tend to see Him as an equal. and to otto, subaru is HIS closest friend!!

also speaking of arc 5. OTTO is the one that breaks up the hostage situation with felt and heinkel and reinhard. and because otto broke up that situation somehow, reinhard was able to finally join the fight in arc 5. theres an otto side story where felt and reinhard take the time to thank otto for this too, but like. can you imagine being otto and walking in on heinkel holding felt and reinhard hostage….. thatd be so incredibly awkward…… but anyway!! i think it is so horrible and funny in the context of reinhard-otto wkdndnd. otto is the one person who saw that shit happening and helped reinhard and felt out there hah.

but also speaking of arc 5. otto chooses to pick up roswaal’s burnt book of wisdom and otto decides to RESTORE it. otto bringing that damn book to priestella is also what helps draw the sin archbishops to the city??? and the reason why otto does this is because he doesnt trust roswaal and otto wants to restore the book just to read it and then destroy it so no one else gets to that info. and otto keeps the fact that he has the book secret for A WHOLE YEAR. otto has a habit of doing shit like this—doing things that HE thinks is best with barely any regard for anyone else—which reinhard cant afford to do. reinhards the sword saint and hes under the control of the kingdom and he Has to follow orders. meanwhile otto gets leeway because hes 1. very much a normal guy in comparison and 2. because hes “Normal”, hes hidden in the background both literally and Narratively and so he can just do shit like keep the book of wisdom just for his own reasons. Without As Much Personal Consequence. like reinhard does what he thinks is best too, but he cant afford to Not think of others bc his inherent power (and also family trauma…. and being brainwashed by the kingdom…) makes him painfully aware that the consequences of his actions are going to be significantly High if he fucks up. and quite frankly ottos morality is like. he has the morality of a chocolate eclair and im only half joking. well, more specifically, otto follows and treasures merchant ideals—which MAKES SENSE bc he Is a merchant from a merchant family—but he also denies knightly ideals. like with a Passion. otto doesnt see the point in living for ideals and then going out of your way to help others at a Detriment to yourself. like otto is very transactional that way—there has to be a benefit of some kind to him. if youre kind to him, he’ll repay you. if youre cruel, he’ll Also repay you in some way. and then on the other hand. you have reinhard. reinhard’s EVERYTHING is all about knightly ideals. he is THE pinnacle of knightly ideals. he HAS to try and save everyone even if its a detriment to himself and he doesnt even Register it as a detriment to himself because this is just his duty and his purpose. all this shit that otto does with the book of wisdom and then later otto’s Everything in arc 8 with how he supports the idea of just going back to lugunica and letting all 50 million Vollachian citizens figure their shit out by themselves—reinhard WOULD NOT agree. at all. otto chooses like the ten people he cares about the most and decides very pragmatically that everyone else is Less Important. and yeah of course reinhard has people he cares about More, but reinhard 1000% WILL go out of his way to help others. reinhard WILL try to help his family even though theyre shitty to him. meanwhile, if youre shitty to otto, hes either gonna say fuck you and leave (see: greed if) or hes gonna find a way to fight back against you. like unless hes held captive in some way with no hope of freedom (or if youre emilia camp and he Cares about you and knows you also care about him), hes not gonna take poor treatment without at least a Bit of a fight (and even if youre emilia camp, otto WILL complain the ENTIRE TIME and will not shut up <3). reinhard though? yeah emotionally hes gonna fold like a wet blanket the moment youre even Remotely mean to him.

but like adding onto the idea that reinhard would not Approve of otto….. OTTOS AN ALCOHOLIC. LIKE. like theres no question about it, otto canonically drinks when hes stressed out and the others call it his “drinking time” 😭😭😭👍👍 like ottos anxiety is out of wack (his stomach apparently hurts + theres the implication hes lost weight from stress wkdndnd) and im 100% sure he self medicates with alcohol. so like i Imagine the moment reinhard gets to know otto on a deeper level then reinhard is not gonna be happy about Any of the above info (ottos alcoholism + chocolate eclair morality). reinhards gonna be like “wtf otto :((( :<<<“. like hilariously speaking i think reinhards gonna give more shit to otto than heinkel akdndnd like otto is CLOSE to subaru and i think reinhard after being helped by otto especially is also like haha otto seems alright!! and then the moment reinhard learns more about otto its gonna be like. words cannot describe it let me find a reaction picture.

there.

BECAUSE LIKE i think reinhard would trust otto a bit like in the sense that yeah otto is trusted by subaru!!! otto aided in the siege of priestella!! otto helped reinhard and felt!!!! and then otto turns around and does Questionable things and reinhards like “noooooo wtf is this :((((“. its like a weird mini betrayal HAH, is how i imagine reinhard/otto as a rare pair. like i think theyre gonna BUTT HEADS. the idea of otto being one of the only people reinhard comes close to disliking is Hilarious to me. like of course reinhard isnt gonna give heinkel shit bc reinhard is 1. brainwashed into thinking everything is his fault and 2. thats his dad. reinhard sees otto though and reinhards like WHY ARE YOU LIKE THAT :<<<< YOURE LIKE THE BAD PARTS OF MY DAD. and then like subaru and felt are like the good parts of his dad. bold and passionate. otto meanwhile is Petty As Hell, complains a lot, and is an alcoholic akdndnd which is Also like reinhards dad. rip reinhard. otto is the functional alcoholic foil to heinkel ig 😭👍

meanwhile ottos thoughts on reinhard are like—theres a wariness and intimidation i think, because YEAH reinhards the sword saint and otto of course knows that, but im pretty sure otto just thinks reinhard Is a wet blanket after walking in on the felt-heinkel-reinhard hostage situation. and then otto heard reinhard blaming himself for that afterwards. like otto Pities reinhard for the shit reinhard has to deal with, i think, and on a deeper level i think otto could be weirdly endeared to reinhard. i mean otto already cares about One stupid hero complex knight (subaru) and otto Already cares about another stupid hero complex person too (garfiel) (also emilia <3 who has a lot of parallels to reinhard anyway!!). ottos gonna be like god reinhards so fucking stupid. i cant Exactly leave him alone…. like we see otto having sympathy for emilia before he even meets and gets to know her, so i think itd be similar with reinhard. otto would get that reinhard doesnt Exactly have a lot of agency, and of course astrea family drama Is Loud As Hell so otto has pity for reinhard of course. otto with his healthy familial relationships is like WOW that sucks. so like i think the rein-otto dynamic is reinhard being like “ew otto :<<“ and being Perhaps a bit passive aggressive while ottos like “GOD hes just like my entire camp!!!! stupid and naive!!!!!!! i cant NOT leave him alone actually!!!!”. which is fucking hilarious to me akdndndnd

and. lastly. prophecy of the throne shows a more in depth look at reinhard and otto meeting each other in one scene—of course those versions of reinhard and otto are slightly different because prophecy of the throne is AU arc 3, but like i think its interesting to factor in bc its reinotto crumbs!!! like reinhard is like “oh subaru whos this? :o” and ottos like panicking and freaking out hes like “WHAT?? WAAAA ITS THE SWORD SAINT?? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE CALM RN???” bc hes literally meeting a celebrity rn and subaru did not tell him shit and reinhards like “haha if youre friends with subaru you can just call me reinhard 😅” like the reinotto meeting is the most awkward funny shit of all time wkdndnd. so im sure the rest of their dynamic is gonna be awkward and messy 👍👍 and if reinhard ever gets ottos dp too, they can go and awkwardly hold hands and go out squeaking at animals together LMAO. theyre both so cringe fail that their dynamic is gonna be the most cringe thing youve ever seen 😭😭

and adding onto my hypothetical breakups tier list post. yes i do think they would try to pretend nothing happened. reinhard manages bc his whole thing is that he seems unfazed by things (is actually Not Unfazed). ottos whole thing is that he seems like a crybaby, is a crybaby (without actually crying that much), but is also decidedly Secretly Insane the more you look into him bc of how he Literally and Narratively hides in the background a lot, so ottos just gonna be getting drunk and then blabbing about reinhard to everyone who comes near him akdndndn. otto and reinhard are both Emotionally Messes when they dont seem like theyre as messy as others but theyre MESSY!!! theyre gonna be messy!!! im not sure how reinotto would ever start but like you could shove them into shenanigans together and they could get up to the Stupidest shit and thats how they grow a Weird Relationship out of it wjdndn. otto being otto is probably also like “this is GOOD politically bc cultivating a good relationship with felt camp and the sword saint is very important!!” while reinhard is head empty and going “ah yes otto 🙂 subarus other friend!!”. and i would Love to explore more of what their dybamic would be, yes.

A volte le regine sono guerriere.

A volte i principi piangono.

A volte le principesse escono dai castelli,

per vivere avventure.

A volte i draghi, non sono così feroci.

A volte anche i principi, devono essere salvati.

A volte le cose, non sono come le raccontano.

PH PIETRO BORRELLI

Sometimes queens are warriors.

Sometimes the princes cry.

Sometimes princesses come out of castles,

To live adventures.

Sometimes dragons are not so fierce.

Sometimes even the principles, they have to be saved.

Sometimes things are not as they tell them.

Sewaddle

Reginal variant

Bug grass

In a region ruled by Charizard, local sewaddle decided looking like the strong dragon would keep them safer. Large leafs like imitating eyes and red leaves on its bioluminescent tail makes most avoid the small bug.

Swadloon

Reginal variant

Bug dragon

Able to get closer to the powerful dragons, Sewaddle collects discarded scales to stick onto it's body. once enough scales have been added, it evolves gaining the power of dragons.

Leavanny

Reginal variant

Bug dragon

The thick fireproof scales make leavanny a powerful armored dragon. The brighter the glow of its tail the higher the status among it's group.

What started as imitating becomes a true dragon in its own right. Leavanny now live with peacefully Charizard and watch over there young together.

The thought was what Charizard had a pokemon copy it's look the way Mimikyu imitates Pikachu.

This was my first rough idea for dragon Leavanny.
