The Flamebel Mystery!

Now, I'm sure you all know who this is. That is of course, Flamebel from Gravity Falls Lost Legends. Appearing only in the story "Don't Dimension It," she's become arguably the most iconic and remembered of the alternate Mabel's we see in that story (aside from Anti-Mabel of course).

However, this is NOT Flamebel! You might already know this, but in case you don't or forgot, given how many years it's been (just like I did), then you should know that this Mabel was NEVER referred to as Flamebel at any point within Lost Legends. If you read through DDI, she's never mentioned in name. Of all the alternate Mabel's that helped Mabel defeat Anti-Mabel, she was the only one who didn't have her name be stated in the story.

I looked over LL again and sure enough, nowhere in the DDI is she referred to as Flamebel. But okay, there's a Barnes and Noble edition of Lost Legends where we see the names of all the Mabel's in Dimension MA-B3L. Surely in it there will be a name for her and it would be Flamebel. Well, not every Mabel in that page was given an official name and surprise, surprise...neither was this Mabel...

In fact, she isn't even the same Mabel here! "Flamebel" didn't even exist in this original line art of the page. She was added in later and neither her or the Mabel that used to be there was named.

So, that brings up an interesting question; Where did the name Flamebel come from if it was never her official name?

Having been in the fandom back when lost Legends came out, I do have some theories. And it starts with this fanart that was posted in 2018 by turquoisespace35.

In Turquoise's post, which was made on August 14th, 2018, she refers to this Mabel as "Flamebel." This was the oldest mention of the name that I remember. And given Turquoise back in 2018 was one of the most popular GF fan artists at the time, it's possible her post helped popularize the name, given it got over 3K notes on Tumblr and also likes of that same amount on Instagram, as well as over 300 favourites on Deviantart.

However, in my research, I found some older posts that may have been where the name initially came from. For one, found this now deleted post from a user named korla-the-kenku that was made on August 2nd, 2018. In it, they list their favourite Mabel's and among them, is our mystery fire Mabel under the name of Flamebel.

I did also consider asking Kiki-Kit; the artist who worked on Don't Dimension It, about Flamebel and if she knows how the character came to be and if that was her name at any point, but uh...for obvious reasons...that was out of the question...

But then, I found what was the oldest post I could at least find during my own research, that used the Flamebel name. And it was this piece of fanart that was posted on July 28, 2018 (4 days after Lost Legends came out), that was made by hntrgurl13.

In the post, she refers to this Mabel as Flamebel. But what's more intriguing is the fact that she made this for an ask question and in it, the anon refers to her as "🔥Mabel," which suggests that before this post was made, the name Flamebel was not what she was known as.

Like Turquoise, hntrgurl13 was a pretty active and popular artist in the GF fandom back in 2018 when Lost Legends came out. And while her post of Flamebel only had a little over 650 notes compared to the 3K Turquoise had, her post is the oldest I could find that uses the Flamebel name.

It's possible there are older posts out there or now deleted ones that use the name, but as far as I can tell, hntrgurl13's post was the first one to use it. I did find this post on Reddit of Flamebel art dating to July 27th, 2018. However, given the OP posted it in May 2019, I can't tell if they referred to her as Flamebel then or added the name in based on the fact that was by that point the name she was most referred to as.

I also found this post hntrgurl13 reblogged on the same day in July, from a now deleted user that talks about Flamebel and while the name isn't used, it could be where she got the question asked to her from that made her post the art where she first used the name. I also found this fanart of Flamebel (but not using that name) posted on July 28th too by Pitopishi; the artist who worked on the story Face It in Lost Legends. But uh...for obvious reasons there too...I don't think there's any chance of asking them about Flamebel either (why did both Lost Legends fan artists have to screw up big time?).

My theory therefore is that hntrgurl13 was the one who came up with the Flamebel name while posting that fanart for the ask she got. From there, given her popularity in the fandom at the time, the post got the name to be used more. Eventually, artists like Turquoise used the name in her viral post and that caused it to stick. Plus, with how wholesome and on point of a name it is to the theme of that Mabel, it worked and people probably didn't bother to realize that wasn't her official name.

I did reach out to hntrgurl13 to ask her about it, but she never got back to me. So, I can't say for certain if she made the name up or heard it from someone else, but it seems she was the first or at least oldest remaining person to use the name that I could find a record of.

At the end of the day, does this all matter? Of course not. I'm not trying to say we shouldn't refer to this Mabel as Flamebel cause even I love the name and think it's super wholesome and on point for her. Alex never bothered giving her a canonical name but the fandom did and she became legendary through it.

But what is funny is how the name became so common place that so many of us, including me, thought it was her canon name and was what was written in Lost Legends itself. I didn't even realize that wasn't the case till a few days ago when someone asked me about where the name originated from and I realized, "Oh...she's never officially been called Flamebel!"

I used to think the Mandela effect wasn't as prominent as it often gets talked about as being. But even I believed for a good while that Flamebel was really this Mabel's name and was in Lost Legends...only to realize that was never the case.

I guess it goes to show; even when you think you know the source of something, you may be wrong. So, always work to make sure what you believe really is based on solid fact. Whether it be something you hear on the news in this divisive world we live in, or just verifying if a character name fans use really is that character's real name.

At the end of the day though...I just hope like we see in this wholesome fanart that mischieflily made for the Epilogue fanzine for Lost Legends, Flamebel finally got to canonically reunite with her Dipper ❤️

And that, was the Mystery of Flamebel; the Lost legends Mabel that Gravity Falls fans named themselves!

IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!! thank you for taking the time to reply to my silly doodles…..I love [Gangle] very much she makes me very happy….i love all your designs very VERY much actually!!! The Trio isn’t focused on NEARLY enough i don’t think, and your irl au designs (not to mention…god tier comics, holy shit) are INCREDIBLE and touch on a lot of aspects of all their characters that people don’t really talk about much!!

Not to go off on a. Large ramble here, but like. i mean it. Your designs, to me, are very faithful-feeling depictions of The Kind Of People Facing The Kinds Of Issues They Have, ESPECIALLY Zooble and gangle.

I mean. Like. Words not wording but, the reality of having severe mental health struggles, and experiencing symptoms like depression, overeating, neglecting hygiene ect— those are all real things that get lost in the pastelization of modern-media depictions of such things. But your [gangle] is built off this reality and I feel like it strengthens her character in a way more people should appreciate!! She struggles with these things and it shows in her life, like it does in real life, and. Grrr. Grrrrrr squeezing her like a stress ball she’s so COOL.

Same with Zooble! Other people have talked about it more in-depth, but physical masculinity in gnc folks is something even fellow queers can find taboo— Trans women with deep voices, or masculine facial features, or even just amab nb people— they don’t get as much rep as they should!! Masculine features aren’t as loved as they should!!

But again your [zooble] completely smashes though this and I ADORE them for it!! “MASC ZOOBLE SPOTTED!” is a tag i have on my blog BECAUSE of the rarity of amab-Zooble in this fandom, despite their trans coding, and youre like. My shining beacon, among the Yuri, with your Zooble and their UNABASHED representation of masc gnc folk. High cheekbones n stache n fuzz n all!!!

Hand on a burnt Bible, your [Zooble] looks more like a real life gnc person to me that I have actually seen in grocery stores, than (sorry guys) any other design yet— MY Zooble design doesn’t look as faithful to “this is a real person who has fistfought gender and won” as yours!! This scruffy pink-hair-with-pronouns triangle ass motherfucker is hands down my FAVORITE DESIGN!!!!

….Anyway, uh, my point is, your irl designs just feel. REALLY faithful to who the characters are, what they struggle with, and who they would realistically be in the real world with these struggles. You have Literally Achieved the Ultimate Irl Au. Which is why. They are my favorite. And I think your art is cool also 👉👈

ok, I’m so sorry, I’ve been yapping so long, (I could probably go on a lot more on just WHAT aspects of the characters you highlight character wise n how fucking cool it is) BUT!! In conclusion…your art is COOL! and I LIKE IT! and YES!!!!

*crashes in through brick wall*

I TRIED👍

Very messy…..very messy messy doodles BUT …..I tried!!! I did Zooble aswell but I need to draw xem full body like gangle first before I share otherwise I’ll die

GGFG H

WAAGHAHGOOOO HOOOO HOOOO

I NEED YOU TO KNOW I HAD TO PACE AROUND MY ROOM AFTER SEEING THESE

YOU DREW HER SO BEAUTIFULLY AND WITH SUCH CARE… [POMNI] TOO!! I LOVE HER STRUGGLING SO HARD TO BE THE BIG SPOON, THATS LEGIT CANON TO THE IRL AU 😭

I LOVE how you stylize [Gangle] so so much and visually show her personality through these… she looks like those ridiculously huge teddy bears they sell during Valentine’s Day season…. Her nose!!! WAH

I’m like, genuinely so touched by this? Thank you so much truly, I’m incredibly flattered you took time out of your day to draw my silly lil rendition of an Irl Gangle 🥺💚

Fixations (under the cut)⤵️

The list below is color coded based on the fandoms I'm fixated on, or I just like

Red = Fixated

Orange = Semi-fixated

Green = Like

Call of Duty - Certain campaigns in it, mostly COD Ghosts though (Yes, I have played the OG versions of some of the campaigns on the old ps3 we have, and I do play MP Cod Ghosts).

Monster x Mediator - It's a pretty interesting game due to the characters (Sir Knight...🤤🤤)

Ready or Not - The storytelling is PHENOMENAL. I can't get over as to how much detail the devs have put into this game to add onto the atmosphere AND the lore itself. W game, W snap back to reality type shit. I love it.

Black Ops - I'm fairly new to this campaign. Finally starting to get a teeny tiny bit into it due to Bell, yes the character you literally as 💀

Fallout: New Vegas - Fixated more on JOSHUA GRAHAM 🤤🤤. But yeah, story is fire, and the characters are fire. Very well written, still gotta check out the DLC's though.

Battlefield 4 - This fandom is so male dominated (or there's no artists in it or sum...) that there's like, 0 genuine fanart of it, and I'm sad because of that 😔 (PAC MY POOKIE, M-MY LOVE 😩😩)

Rainbow 6 Siege - Don't have the console to play the actual game so I watch it instead.

Mouthwashing - The entire story is just...wow. So sorry that had to Happen to you, Anya. Also, fuck Jimmy. Everyone else is cool.

Fallout (The show version) - Really liked the way they made everything with the characters and stuff. For new fans, such as me, I really enjoyed it 🗣

Hell Divers 2 - Like R6S, I don't have the actual console itself to play it but it's on my wishlist and I really like the concept of the game, plus the community seems pretty fire.

Eddsworld - Used to have a HUGE fixation on this fandom, prob for up to 1-2 years (shit had a strong grip on me)

Silent Hill 2 - That's like the only game I know lore about in the Silent Hill series (Pyramid head...).

My Little Pony - I'm surprised this fandom is absolutely booming now. Watched the entire show (forgot everything though 💀). Love the art the fandom makes though, including the AU's.

Saiki K - Legit forgot the entire storyline, but I know I like it

The Amazing Digital Circus - Caught up on all episodes

Demon Slayer - Watched all seasons

The Amazing World of Gumball - Havent really watched it much, but I really like it including the fan base

Into the Spiderverse - Have never read the comics, but movie-wise I like it

South Park - Funny, sad, cringe, and crazy show. I've only watched a couple episodes but the community can be so fucking funny sometimes

...Damn, you still reading? I mean if you're interested go ahead and drop a follow to this thing (you're likely gonna forget this account anyways, so free follow for me mwhahaha).

Why not, here's Chapter 1 of my longfic— A New Mission: Ash to Fire 🔥

(Na'vi OC art by the talented @quaritchsgirl / @bluekernal 💙)

Chapter 1. Survived

Miles Quaritch's Banshee, in addition to feeling his physical pain, could feel his desire and desperation to reach Bridgehead City through her tsaheylu connection with him. The physical pain in his face, limbs, body, and lungs— that she could understand. The pain was not hers, however, so she could still fly in spite of it, though uncomfortably and with great concern; as much as her banshee mind could muster for her “Na’vi” companion.

However, her companion had emotions she could not comprehend, emotions that to the beat-down, bruised, and bloodied Colonel were swirls of failure, rage, revenge, relief, and sadness.

Miles failed his mission to capture and kill Jake Sully, and he felt rage at him and his wife, whatever her name was, for killing his fellow recombinant Marines. His Marines who had all quite literally gotten a new lease on life, only for it to be cut short on this harsh alien moon. Miles was vengeful and not tempered in his ideas of killing Jake Sully and his family, such desires for vengeance were even more magnified.

Miles also had feelings of relief, however. The last thing he remembers was being caught in a sleeper hold under the wreck of the sinking Sea Dragon, Jake’s arms gripped firmly, painfully around his neck. He felt overwhelming panic and fear, and just couldn’t comprehend the nature of the quick switch around. It all happened so fast. He had him. He had Jake by the neck in the clutches of his legs, but then there was a sudden pulse of underwater pressure and confusion. Jake now had him. And then… darkness.

Miles remembers suddenly waking up at the surface of the water, a small force lurching him towards some rocks. Relief. There was sunlight, there was air, and there was the opportunity for survival. Even greater relief overcame him when he realized that it was his son, Spider, who had saved him. After all that happened, a boy saves his father.

However, Miles also felt a great sadness knowing that, despite this effort, and the months they spent together— months of Spider teaching him and the others Na’vi, and sharing in light-hearted 1st Recom Unit adventures and shenanigans, as well as sincere moments of bonding, his son spurned him in favor of his enemy. Now, Miles was beaten, saddened, and ashamed. Through his swirl of pain and emotions, his banshee knew to just keep flying straight and steady.

Miles’ Banshee continued to fly smoothly over the ocean so as not to aggravate her companion’s wounds. Bridgehead was about a day’s flight from the Sea Dragon wreck, the scene of his failure. Miles leaned in pain over her neck to grab a water canteen from her green ops pack. Miles’ Banshee was a being he had come to love, though his mind would not let him overtly admit that. He could feel that she cared about him, and he cared for her.

Miles also developed a lot of pride over having her. With her beautiful dark indigo skin and colorful patterns, he knew that she was a unique color morph given the fact that he’d never seen a banshee like her in his previous life’s memories of 15 years on Pandora. Miles had come to affectionately call his banshee Cupcake, based on a jeering joke and reminder from Z-Dog.

[Flashback to the Hallelujah Mountains after all the Recoms have claimed their banshees] The recoms were atop the floating mountain where they had just all finished claiming their banshees. The feelings of shock and sadness at the thought of their Colonel having plummeted to his death on the back of a banshee turned to a proud, celebratory environment where each Marine was excited at their achievement and the prospect of being able to fly around and travel much more easily. The first volunteer after the Colonel was Prager who claimed his banshee actually having found a way to tie its mouth shut using the unclipped sling of his rifle. After him, it was Z-Dog, Wainfleet, Ja, then Lopez, and Mansk was last. Mansk was taking time to really scope out banshees, wanting to make sure he got one which suited him—if it chose him of course. The whole thing took about two hours, the next Marine up when the other was getting in the bond sealing flight time with their new companions. Then, once all were claimed, they flew to another floating mountain, one with a grassy top, to rest and wind down. Spider rode on Miles' banshee and Miles held Spider tightly with his huge hand as they descended to their stop. Spider hated that he felt this way, but he felt... secure. And also exhilarated. He had never flown on a banshee before. He always asked Lo'ak, Neteyam, or Kiri if he could and they always said they would let him, but it never happened. Now here he was, his first banshee ride ever... with this man. This... Quaritch. His "father". And Spider was very relieved that he didn't die from his omission that he needed to tie the banshee's mouth shut. He was reliving the relief, impressed thoughts, and even slight amusement and joy he felt when he excitedly popped up from the sky on the uniquely dark-colored banshee. While the Marines were all resting from the action and exhilaration of claiming their mounts at their floating pit stop location, Spider was taking a moment to tell them how to best design a saddle based on how Na'vi ride their banshees. At one point, Spider lightly confronted Ja for disagreeing with him, pointing out, "If you rode it like that, it couldn't breathe, dumbass." The other Marines chuckled. Ja was unamused. But the Marines all exerted a lot of effort claiming their banshees, so they were just kind of winding down, taking in the sights of the beautiful scenery around them. Mansk was particularly enjoying his new mount, standing next to it and petting its face gently. Miles was at a distance from his Marines, standing at the edge of their floating mountain, looking out into the sky at the Hallelujah Mountain Range. Pensive. His right hand on his hip, left hand clutching the top of his vest, his tail swaying gently. This was the location of his past life's last stand. He was also thinking about what he just achieved and found himself also greatly relieved and thankful that he just survived that ordeal— which he very easily could not have. One wrong move, or if the banshee pulled from him, it was over. He'd have plummeted to the surface and that would be the tragic, non-climatic end of this new life of his. Dying yet again at the surface underneath this mountain range. What a shit way to go. Can't believe the kid omitted such a crucial piece of information. "Did I mention you're supposed to tie the mouth shut first?" What a little shit. Should give him that old school ass whippin' just for that, Miles thought. Miles shook himself from his bleak thoughts and heard his Marines talking and laughing and walked over to them. They were sharing what names they were going to give their banshees. Z-Dog looked at her approaching Colonel and said, "So Colonel, what's yours's name? Cupcake, right?" she said cheekily and chewing bubblegum. "That's what you called it before you decked it in the face." "Cupcake, huh?" replied Miles. He looked towards his banshee, who mildly hissed at him when they made eye contact. He said, "Fits." [Flashforward to Miles flying on Cupcake, nothing but sea in front of him.]

He would of course come to learn that Cupcake was female, thanks to a brief biology quip from Dr. Ian Garvin, the jaded marine biologist and scientific head of CET-OPS though he didn’t much seem like he was the head of anything. He pointed out something about the anatomy of her chest, as well as her back legs that were relevant to egg-laying. Miles didn’t care to remember the details he just knew Cupcake was his girl.

Miles, injured, could sense through the bond that Cupcake wasn’t 100% either. When putting his water canteen back he looked down at the gear on her neck and noticed blood stains and tears. This was from when Jake Sully's monster flying fish leaped out of the water to grab her and pull her down, sending Miles flying and Cupcake panicking, desperate to get out of the water and fly away. Just that memory alone made Miles want to drive a knife through Sully’s skull. The emotion made Cupcake hiss and growl lowly while flying.  

Miles soared over the vast open water, blue azure beauty as far as the eye can see, the faint but ever present daytime Polyphemus watching above. Ocean-going banshees were flying in the distance, nalutsa and wild tsurak were swimming in the clear waters below. Miles was not lacking in basic emotion, and through his pain, he could appreciate the beauty, in many ways it was a welcome distraction.

As a recombinant, he was able to take in this sight, one that his past life certainly never had on Earth in his equivalent younger years. He recalled a memory of experiencing his first truly clear skies on the first day of his long, illustrious tour on Pandora. Of course, Miles’ recom body has never known anything else but Pandora.

The conflict of human memories versus his actual experience as a recombinant would sometimes creep up to be too much to bear. He flicked away these thoughts like a flick of his tail… which having one was also too much to bear sometimes. But he’d rather think about his tail, his blue skin, his big yellow eyes, and his pointy moveable ears than confront the existential crisis that built up inside him.

As he glided, assuming that Cupcake had her bearing to Bridgehead City from her connection with him, he looked at the water far down below and noticed white wakes on the sea’s surface. He gently, psionically guided Cupcake to fly lower, so he could see the source.

The wakes were caused by boats. Lifeboats and life rafts in tow. Survivors of the Sea Dragon disaster! Miles honestly felt great relief knowing that his commandeering of the ship didn’t lead to a total human loss. That was certainly never his intention. Especially after Jake Sully ignited the missiles of the crashed gunship before laying waste the remainder of the SEC-OPS guards in his attack with his batshit crazy wife.

He was going to fly in closer, but decided it might be best to keep a distance and fly on. He at least knew he was headed in the right direction to Bridgehead upon seeing these boats. He kept flying, passing over them, being sure to stay high up in the air lest he be noticed as anything more than a distantly flying banshee.

Something was interesting though, two banshees were flying near the boats a little bit ahead of them, but low. Miles remembered that he had a pair of binoculars stowed in Cupcake’s pack. He pulled them out, every reach and stretch of his arm was pain, and weakly brought them up to his eyes—which he couldn’t believe his sight.

It was Lyle Wainfleet and Devin Mansk! Miles’ relief grew. Some of his Marines survived. Thank god. They must have barely escaped the death throes of the ship, got their banshees, and high-tailed it the hell out of there, he figured.

Miles had Cupcake speed up over the lifeboats and dove in closer to join his fellow recoms in front of the caravan of human survivors. Weakly, he touched his fingers to the comms piece on his neck and said, “Lyle, Mansk. Come in Marines.” Miles waited a moment.

“Holy shit, Colonel, sir. You’re alive!” said Wainfleet excitedly over the earpiece. Miles made his first smile since his survival, hurting his face to make it, and he said, “Corporal, you know a Marine can’t be defeated.”

“Oorah, sir.” said Wainfleet over the comms.

“Oorah,” said Mansk.

ok since i’m so hyped here are my predictions for mikus pokemon and designs (and vocaloP) for project voltage: (disclaimer, the vocaloP choices are probably super unrealistic im not super knowledgeable on vocaloP and i don’t know who they could reasonably get this is just my very limited and biased view)

👁️‍🗨️psychic: meloetta (already confirmed)

🌊water: primarina (already confirmed)

🔥fire: skeledirge (already confirmed)

🌱grass: rillaboom (already confirmed)

⚪️normal: ok i’m gonna be pissed if either normal or fairy isn’t jigglypuff. fits the music/singing theme perfectly AND is pokemon #39 which is the miku number. if they’re cowards or put jigglypuff in the fairy slot, then i could see exploud or chatot for the music theme or maybe even lopunny for the twintails? oh or obv farfetchd cuz it was in the kei art. probably farfetchd.

this design might be closest to regular miku. or they take it in a lass/schoolgirl direction?

Oster project would be cute for this one i think! or 40mp

❄️ice: Alolan Vulpix, cuz there was already a pokemon x miku crossover with alolan vulpix. maybe lapras or frosslass or amaura tho if they don’t go with that.

gotta be tons of pale blue, maybe some pink thrown in. i wonder if they’re gonna go with the cute route or the elegant route. ooh maybe she’ll be snow miku-y

or oster project for this one lmaoo

👻ghost: i can’t wait to see this one. it’s kinda hard to pick tho? i could see oricorio, but that might be used for the flying spot. gengar is basically the ghost type pokemon so i could see that as well, but i think it’s gonna be rotom. i’ve seen fanmade rotom mikus before and they’re perfect. i hope it’s that

this miku is gonna be so spookyyyy. i’m thinkin a lil mischievous and sharp teeth and stuff. wispy twintails. ik she’s an electric gym leader but iono vibes

dudeeee if they got mafumafu for this one it’d go so harddddd. they got him to do the anime op a few years ago i really hope he’s part of this collab. syudo would go hard for ghost too

🐛bug: frosmoth? illumise? maybe kriketune for the music theme… idk this one’s tough. final answer frosmoth.

hmm this one’s hard. i hope they make her a lil nerdy. give her round glasses or smth

oohhh i could see pinocchio p for the bug type one. i really hope he’s part of this he’s my favorite vocaloP

😈dark: i’m feelin obstagoon on this one bc of the music theme. maybe absol or morpeko tho.

yess this miku is gonna be so intense. heavy makeup and spikey collars and shit hell yeah. piers from swsh vibes for sure

syudo!!!!!

⚡️electric: very well could be pikachu. it’s just a shoo in at this point. if not, then toxtricity bc of the music theme, or a pikaclone like pachirisu maybe.

probably leaning into the android/digital theme. definitely super energetic. iono vibes

giga??? giga would be perfect

👊fighting: it’s gotta be sirfetchd right? leek and all. idk if they’d wanna do two pokemon from the same line if they do farfetch’d for normal or flying. or i mean, they could be lame and go for pirouette form meloetta ig… quaquaval? iron valiant miku would go hard tho

…. the only thing that comes to mind for design is seraphim on the ring miku lmaoooo

that makes me want to say mitchie m but i have no clue lmaooo

🧚‍♀️fairy: like i said, jigglypuff. if they put jigglypuff in the normal slot, then i could see gardevoir or togekiss. i would also love tinkaton miku tho. it does kinda have twintails

obv very pink! super adorable. i feel like her eyes are gonna be big and either sparkly or kinda empty like valeries from x and y lol

hmmm maybe toa?

🧲steel: ok hear me out. metang. her twintails could look like it’s arms. realistically, i think they’d more likely go metagross in that case tho even tho it has four arms. maybe klink? it’s got miku color in it. cobalion also has miku color. honedge? magearna miku would go hard too. final answer is metagross tho

maybe kinda robot-y? idk we definitely getting some cool grays and teal tho

nayutalien maybe idk i get the vibes.

🪨rock: amaura or arourus probably. i could also see diancie tho

ok i’m kinda stumped on a design and vocaloP for this one tho. genres definitely gonna be rock tho.

🗻ground: this one’s tough. palpitoad/seismatoad fit the music/sound theme but they’re ugly so i’m doubtful. could go for the fan favorite in wooper/quagsire but idk if they would. idk if wooper has the same impact in japan as he does here. nidoqueen maybe? final answer wooper ig

also kinda stumped.

🪽flying: could be farfetchd. i kinda forgot it was also a flying type. i would love oricorio miku tho. ideally with parts of each form incorporated into her design, but if they just stuck to one form, i’d say pom pom for the vibes or sensu for the color.

oooh we gettin a lil adorable ditzy mikuuuu we got the light blues for sure. skyla from black and white vibes

could see oster project for this one too lmao

☠️poison: ROSERADE MIKU WOULD GO SO HARDDDD. i think it’s unlikely tho :( most likely it’s gonna be toxtricity if he’s not used in the electric slot. if he is, then maybe toxapex or drapion?

i feel like they’re gonna go with a roxie from bw2 vibe for this one and i’m so here for it.

deco*27 i feel

🐉dragon: ok i’m like 75% sure it’s gotta be altaria right? the other 25% is dragonair. i hope it’s altaria tho i love altaria

ok if it’s altaria maybe they’ll do lisia from ora’s vibes i could see that. if not maybe we get dragon trainer miku? clair from johto vibes??? that would go hard ngllll

idk for this one ngl….

anyway i can’t wait to see how wrong i am :D i’m in love with project voltage aaaaa

FIRE ART OP🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Trying to draw in greyscale

[terubakudan]

A playlist dedicated to the murderous but incredibly moe capo of the CR:5 :D

Have this banner of my two favorite 'Mad Dogs' (this playlist has nothing to do with Majima I just think he and Giulio are really cool):

Rad Giulio art by @someruco (originally from pixiv but the artist deleted all their works, the OG image here)

Rad Majima art by @krng_fu

Vane Lily - BUTCHER VANITY ft. Yi Xi

A song that I got recommended by YouTube through a short Homicipher fanvid. Because I love the idea of cannibilism as some twisted form of love I was intrigued, and it's just so earworm-y. The lyrics which talk about that kind of hunger are wonderfully written, with lines like:

Oh, your heart Aortic work of art My love, my knife To carve it out, your life

I seriously love this verse. Also the lines sung in Mandarin brought a tear to my eye QQ It flows so well!

2. Sweet Pool OST - The Hunger

Composed by Tomita Ryouji with vocals by Ken1, the ED song to Makoto's ending in sweet pool. Makoto's ending traumatized me but the song is 🔥fire🔥 so it's ok~

I'm lying it's never ok.

Giulio may not be an established cannibal but frankly I think headcanon-ing him as eventually becoming one isn't out of the question.

3. The GazettE - FILTH IN THE BEAUTY

THE GazettE song. It's the song I would recommend to people wanting to get into the GazettE, arguably their most iconic song. I want to give a special shout-out to the female vocals in this song because while the song is already awesome with the gang vocals backup, the female vocals elevate it. It represents the 'beauty' in this song perfectly.

Especially the part that goes 'sexual disgrace', this song is filthy but it's just such a good song I can only lavish the highest praise on it xD

4. Yakuza 0 OST - Receive You The Subtype

Composed by Hidenori Shoji, I was debating whether to put The Subtype or The Hyperactive and thought The Subtype fits Giulio better, this song served as Majima's battle theme for his Mad Dog fighting style in Yakuza 0, and I love the dangerous and crazed tone this version of Receive You has. Much like a mad dog waiting to strike, and then going full bonkers.

I also find it really neat that both Giulio and Majima are referred to as 'Mad Dog' (狂犬/kyouken) and are both part of the Mafia.

5. Coda - Bloody Stream ~mito remix ver.~

A dubstep remix of the best JoJo OP Bloody Stream. I don't know why but I felt dubstep suits Giulio, it's just a gut feeling of mine xD.

Also because JoJo, you can never go wrong with JoJo.

6. Mittsies - Titanium

You may know Mittsies as the composer of the OST for Helltaker and Awaria, the game with the sharply-dressed demon girls and the game where you kiss ghost waifus. Both trouble for my bisexual ass.

Titanium is the track that plays during the Examtaker boss fight and believe me when I say that like Helltaker it's addicting. xD

7. Mittsies - Heartbreaker

The BPM of this song breaks my heart 💔 it goes especially hard during the final boss fight in-game.

8. Koshotengai no Hashihime OST - eyes only (vocals by 川名唯 Kawana Yui)

ED song of Hashihime of The Old Book Town. It sounds lively but with that tinge of melancholy I just love so much. Looking at the lyrics and you realize it's a sad love song, which may involve deceiving your lover as a form of love, or currently going through a sort of insincere love. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on song analysis (sadly) so only the songwriter Kurosawa Rinko knows what it's really about xD

It pairs really well with Yokan by Dir en grey. Maybe have some Yōkan while listening...

9. yama - 偽顏(Nisekao/Fake Face)

I learnt of this song through an old friend, and initially thought it was Korean at first but then realized it was Japanese. I feel that that it's sung in such a way that mirrors K-pop, but it's quite the catchy song with a music video that my friend describes as 'being great for headcanon-ing your ships into'. I agree xD

I can totally picture Giulio and Gian as the characters in the video xD

10. Yakuza 0 OST - Cabaret Sunshine Fake Love (Ambient After Hours Ver. by GeorgeTheStrange)

The fact that I have placed yet another song from Yakuza 0 shows how amazing and diverse its soundtrack is. I adore this ambient version of Cabaret Sunshine Fake Love and it sounds like something that would play after Giulio and Gian had a long night at the Cabaret Club, which we know is of no use to them because they're both very gay.

It's morning, and then there's this scene of Gian just blabbing about x and y while Giulio just lovingly/longingly stares at him as this song plays in the background. And then they lock eyes.

This was inspired by a post about Katara being a Sifu of the Northern Water Tribe.

But I cant find the original post; if you know of the post and/or are the op of the post, let me know, so i can credit them properly!

~~

After the war, Katara, Sokka, and their friends helped rebuild SWT.

She spends a year with her family, then she moves to the Northern Water Tribe to teach girls how to fight!

💙Katara teaches little girls beginner moves.

She teaches the older girls (pre-teens and teens) about more violent self-defense techniques.

The girls learn about healing in the side but with Katara it's mostly combats, self-defense, gender equality, and consent

They get taught about red flags in a toxic friendship and older girls on unhealthy relationships while dating.

Before she starts her class, she has them say,

“What do you say when boys say you can't do that because you're a girl?”

“Heck no!”

“We're?”

“Just as capable as you and even better!”

“And?”

“I'm not afraid to show you!”

Katara beamed proudly at them, “Good job, girls!”

🩸The girls of the Northern Tribe have only seen waterbending used for healing.

Her students get really impassioned when she demonstrates it for combat and cheer her on whenever she asks her friends to spar.

⚔(@a-hams-art ): Sokka does some sword-training/warrior training.

He makes it a point to inter-mingle boys with girls, to make the point that they can fight side by side.

🍉Whenever Zuko visits, he likes to bring exotic food like pineapples, mangoes, strawberries and other Fire Nation cuisine for Katara and her students to enjoy.

🕊☮Having her friends come visit and help her students had her come up with Culture Day! An event where her friends talk about their culture:

🌬Aang teaches them about the Air Nomads

🔥 Zuko about his Nation(of course)

🌏Toph talks about earthbending

🤺Suki and Sokka talks to them about how being non-benders isn't a bad thing, and they're capable fighters like benders.

At the end of culture week the GAang gather around the class and says:

“We maybe different, but that's what makes us unique; It makes us whole. No nation is better than the other. We're all equal."

--

When she becomes Ambassador she talks about bringing back schools and implementing culture week into them.

Instead of 5 days she turns it into weeks even because: “There's so much culture of each nation that it can't be taught within a few days.”

Week 1-Air

(After the war, the airbender survivors came out of hiding)

Week 2-Water

Week 3-Earth

Week  4-Fire

(the kids learn that Firebenders aren't destructive monsters and that the Fire Nation as a whole isn't. )

Week 5-Non benders

Mom help me please

I was reading Daichi with Ukai's daughter and my brain went "what about Washijo's granddaughter with tendo"

Now I don't know what to do with myself 😂

Love you ❤️,

Japan manager anon

😭😭😭 how wholesome would this be tho! Lile Washijo would have his granddaughter help as the manager and Tendou's just like 👁👄👁 at her constantly 🥺

"Tendou I don't know about this"- YN, very unsure how she got roped into this

"YN it's fine! Trust me, nothing will happen"- Tendou, reassuring YN that everything will indeed be fine

"You said that last time and YN almost got her front teeth knocked out"- Shirabu

"Yeah but I've trained her since then"- Tendou

"But is there really any training for guess blocking?"- Reon

"It's an ART! And I am Picasso"- Tendou

"I still think it's a bad idea Tendou. YN is tiny and Washijo will probably kill you"- Semi

"Hey I'm a big girl! I can make my own decisions"- YN

"I don't think this is a good decision YN"- Ushiwaka 😐

"Are you saying I can't block you Wakatoshi?"- YN, trying to be a badass

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying"- Ushiwaka 😐

"Ope-" Tendou, knowing fully well Ushi lit a fire in YN

"Send the set up Shirabu"- YN, in a killer blocking stance

"YN are you-" Shirabu

"I said... send it UP"- YN 🔥 👄 🔥

"That's my girl"- Tendou
