Helki compilation

Helki is a prisoner-turned-servant. He’s a criminal canary and was implicitly one of Milsiril’s charges, and now that she’s retired he’s become her servant.

He must have gotten into Milsiril’s good graces, wether through attachment or convenience, which is a feat considering Milsiril’s a socially anxious recluse. Interesting since it’s not like he seems like the agreeable type, shifty upbeat delinquent style… We really don’t know much about him, not even what crimes he did, so there’s a lot of space for speculation on all grounds.

Edit: Shanghai QnA with Kui gave us a new juicy morsel of info!

Interesting… The original answer in japanese is: パッタドルと同じような杖を使っていました。今も同じものを支給されているのですが、すぐになくすのでもはや携帯していないようです。 That it’s written in japanese seems to say that there isn’t the same double translation issue there was last QnA, so if someone wants to look at the original phrasing and word choices it can be done. Perhaps Helki-Milsiril has a more protégé dynamic undertone than previously thought… "For various reasons", meaning circumstances that made it so the squad had to choose between saving him and saving their own skin, or like, "man this guy’s personality sucks we don’t really like him"? Likely to be a mix of several things, since ‘for various reasons’ implies the situation was either complex or they had multiple reasonings. In either case, the phrasing is very much that Milsiril couldn’t abandon him herself, and so a relationship sprung out of that. Another instance of outcasts seeking out and sticking with other outcasts in Dungeon Meshi. This could mean that it’s a bit less out of personal attachment and more out of a sense of duty on Milsiril’s side as well though.

Still edit: So then maybe him staying with Rin in that comic isn’t that much because of work ethics or that he cares for kids (or maybe he does because he feels kinship to them, alone and mistreated), but because he didn’t want to join the other canaries in that room chatting and laughing… Maybe the isolation was exacerbated because he became Milsiril’s favorite, teacher’s pet style, but I’d also be careful about assuming the others disproportionately dislike him, it could be that they just don’t really care for him. Why? Could be because of his personality, because he’s seen as shifty or unreliable or annoying, if an event, who knows who knows, but I like to think because of the Rin comic that he generally just tends to be a loner, that he’s "weird" in a neurodivergent vibe, he doesn’t conform to proper social behavior which in elven society seems especially alienating. He’s the only one with Rin to think of her sake, not only worth observing/caring for but also asks her to eat, but he does this with an offputting stare, not really emoting, and then well, the infamous alone with her staring munching covered in blood panel. He stands out. I’m a fan of the theory that it was a "Helki? Not that I dislike the guy but I’m not risking my skin for him" situation… Ok end edit back to older observations.

He seemed to be acting out of his own initiative in the Rin comic, he doesn’t look thrilled to be there in many post-canary comics but he also seems content enough. He restrains Milsiril in the Mithrun cleaning comic which is interesting to think of for their relationship.

It’s fun to notice how he’s the only one that didn’t get bored of looking after Rin, and then reports back about her condition… I’d say he was getting used to taking care of kids which would come with the job of serving Milsiril, but then, not enough for him to clean the blood off himself hah. In this way it’s interesting to think about his relationship to the idea of parenthood, he’s probably the closest thing to a father figure/male role model Kabru had growing up, without mentioning the other kids. I feel like he’d consider himself an older brother, cousin or uncle figure sooo much sooner than a father, but even then I do think it’s just his job and he’s not really invested or forming real relationships with any of them much.

It’s curious to note that he’s dressed in canary uniform presumably after having been pardoned and living with Milsiril? Which you can tell by the armor bits (the yellow strips of spider silk). In the Kabru training montage and the Rin comic specifically. It seems very implausible for him to have still been a canary while being a retired Milsiril’s servant and being with her all the time, and the cleaning with Mithrun comic (where he’s not in uniform) happens after Utaya so it could happen after Kabru was taken in but around the time of the Rin comic. So why uniform? It could be one of the best outfits he has, so it’d make sense to wear it around especially if you’re sparring or getting… Blood on you? Could just be because that's how Milsiril wants him to dress. But yeah we don't know when exactly Helki becoming Milsiril’s servant happened. We do see Mithrun’s charge Cithis be tasked with taking care of him, so a charge being given a servant-caretaker role doesn’t seem all that out of the ordinary, sometimes even prior to retiring.

Imo, if he doesn't work for Milsiril he goes back to jail/the canaries/has to try and get a job instead of just tending to her, so Helki is staying with Milsiril because she's the best option for him. He’s her milsiril's personal servant and does mostly dull tasks involved in that. He’s not particularly suited to the role but they’ve gotten used to each other to him so she took him with her, and he does prefer it to canary work so it works out decent for him. I think he’s used to reading her and managing her moods and he’s one of the rare social connection she has.

Under spoiler is stage 2 interpretation stuff, bigger speculation, in a reblog I’ll make soon I’ll go over my thoughts for stage 3 interpretation lol. Helsiril I’m coming for you

Hi I hope you’re well! I was just curious on whether you think damian will show up in the settle out bones series and how it could be different than canon

I do have plans to add Damian one day, but it won’t be for a while yet. I have at least 2 more oneshots planned that are just the three boys, and then I’m planning a chaptered fic with Steph & Cass that I’m really hyped about because it’s quite AU but I think it’ll be really fun for explaining how they came to be. Then after that, we will get to Damian!

Tag drop: Jing Yuan (incomplete, but the rest will be added behind the scenes) (... and a little return of Yelan's aesthetic, for I've missed her desperately)

also btw i am passing a new amendment that says that “dom/sub dynamics” is a blanket term to be used for any gender configuration pairing EXCEPT a man dominating a woman which henceforth MUST be labeled “mascdom” and at least 70% of the time the term MUST be misapplied to scenarios in which dom/sub dynamics are entirely absent and it instead functionally designates the man is topping

“If you don’t mind me asking…” Nadja shockingly spoke up “…why don’t you go after Marinette by yourself?”

The question had the five corrupted Miraculous holders pausing. Mistress Tigress stared at the interviewer with wide eyes and Nadja felt like she was staring into the eyes of a monster. She scanned the reaction of the other villains, the fox villainess was shocked at the question but lost interest and went back to playing with Ladybug’s hair. The turtle didn’t even look up from the iPad, but the horse and the newcomer, the monkey, all froze.

Nadja decided to try again, “It’s just that there are now five of you…” still no reaction from the other two but the tiger began to show a hint of reaction so Nadja was going to keep pushing. “…and I don’t exactly know how powerful your Miraculouses are but I figured if you’re Akumatized then you must be really powerful…” she paused for a second, the monkey was now staring at her no longer messing with the tiger who was still cuddled up to Ladybug.

Ladybug and Chat Noir were looking at her like she was crazy, the fact that they didn’t know anything about what would happen if a Miraculous holder was Akumatized was already bad enough but Nadja enticing them and trying to get more information out of the Akumas was worse. Ladybug shook her head no to Nadja, she didn’t want anymore of the Miraculouses secrets revealed it was only going to help Hawkmoth in the end. But Nadja was a reporter and this was a big opportunity for her to get more information on the Miraculous and the future.

“…So why don’t you go after her yourselves?” she smiled a kind smile to the Akumas and waited for an answer or better…a reaction

“Hmm no thanks I like living.” The monkey said as he played with the tigers hair, the tiger smacked the monkey in the face, “Yeah I like not being hunted down and being tricked into traps like a wild rabbit, so that’s a no.” The tiger cuddled back up to Ladybug and the fox stopped braiding Ladybugs hair to look Nadja dead in the eyes but said nothing, “With how cunning Marinette is? No way.” The monkey piped up.

“That wouldn’t be a wise idea.” The horse Akuma added in but didn’t look at her like the others, Nadja was curious now, it would be great if the fox and turtle said something as it seems they knew a lot more than the others. “If we went to find Marinette on our own separately she would pick us off one by one.” The turtle finally spoke, his eyes showing no lie as he crossed his arms. “She may have been revealed to be Marinette but she’s still Ladybug, the holder of creation …she’s been fighting Akumas for 23 years.” The fox pointed out.

Nadja blinked, “23 years?” She parroted in disbelief that the 13 year-old Ladybug in front of her had committed to fighting Akumas for 23 years. Was future Marinette really that scary? Was future Marinette really that dangerous? “Besides Marinette is the Miraculous Guardian, she’s bound to the very Miraculouses that we all wear she’ll know how to take us down.”

Ladybug and Chat Noir looked shocked

Nadja was even more curious, “Bound? Bound to what? I thought the Miraculouses were just pieces of jewelry that turn you into superhero��s?”

Kitsune Rouge smiled a toothy grin, “To the 19 gods that reside in the Miraculouses of course!”

Nadja eyes went wide, “Gods?!”

“Gods” Kitsune Rouge smiled, “You didn’t really think that the Miraculouses were just pieces of jewelry that you put on and boom you’re a superhero! Do you?”

The Akumas laugh, “Oh Nadja, inside the Miraculous reside Gods, powerful Gods, Gods that were enslaved and trapped in these pieces of jewelry.”

Nadja gulps, fear now clawing at her brain as she realizes what she fears or yet doesn’t believe.

“That means…”

“That means that Marinette Dupain-Cheng is more powerful than you could ever imagine.”
