Part 23

[xehabaldera]

have you seen my children? now you have. 👁️

was going through some theories about the MoM, when someone said nept from ML might be him. i immediately thought about neptune the planet and the associated god- a god of the seas, and a planet associated in astrology with illusions. and someone else had mentioned an idea that nept was aqua's ancestor......

needless to say, i immediately got attached to the idea of aqua and ienzo as estranged siblings- probably parted by whatever took ienzo's biological parents!- and decided to dub the duo the "mirage siblings", or "mirage trio" if you include luxu!! because this IS based on MoM-nept, lol

[oliverbluebug]

first time drawing him. his hair is fucking wild. do you think he meticulously styles it or does nothing and it just ends up that way?

[iwoulddieforienzo]

IENZOOOO MY FUCKED UP LITTLE GUY. Thinking abt him. Rotating him in my mind. SPECIFICALLY. Thinking. About whatever he and Axel have going on.

I JUST THINK. That if a guy I had grown up with in a shitty emotionless cult decided to murder my dad and then me seemingly on a whim in incredibly traumatic ways and then have the AUDACITY to be a rude little bitch to me when we came back from the dead while I was trying to extend an olive branch and answer his questions even though my last memory was of me getting strangled to death while he stared me dead in the eyes and I don’t yet have any answers as to what’s going on, I would simply slaughter him on the spot. but he DIDNT. He was calm & deferential & polite. Weirdly bubbly. And it’s WEIRD they’re WEIRD

I think that Ienzo is trying to play Nice and not step on any light warrior’s toes bc he doesn’t want to die a third time. And Lea is a light warrior now, which automatically means that he is Always Correct and deserves the utmost respect. Clearly he knew something that they didn’t and clearly his murder was justified bc all of them are standing here and alive and whole again and Lea is a light warrior with a key blade. And they need to be careful around him because he can do anything to them and he’d be Right and clearly everything Ienzo thought he knew about Axel-VIII-Lea is Wrong. Obviously. Because zexion thought Axel would never attack him and he was wrong about that. And. Sora mowed them down incredibly quickly, as did Riku. So. Play nice, keep your life. Right.

I think he thinks he and his family are at the mercy of the light warriors because why wouldn’t he. He grew up in a cult where the most powerful members were the ones in charge. Where the leader was the most powerful of all because he had a key blade that he used ON IENZO. When he was a KID. You stick around until you’re not useful anymore and then youre eliminated and no one cares because they can’t. He thinks that every relationship is built on exchanges.

He’s trying very very hard to be Good but he has NO IDEA what good even constitutes and he’s starting from the premise that there is something fundamentally Wrong and monstrous with him. And there are Reasons for that and they mostly have to do with the apprentices and specifically aeleus but if we were to talk about all the issues I think this kid has we would be here all year. SO.

Do not get me started on my Thoughts abt his relationships with Isa & Xemnas & braig & the other apprentices

KH Marriage Material Tournament Round 1

Ienzo is literally so good. He’s sweet, he’s gentle, he wants to help people so bad! He’s smart, too! He isn’t afraid to cry, and he apologizes and tries to fix his mistakes. One person said “get you a man who understands your booktok obsession.” Which is more than fair! He definitely would support and understand your passions! Another person says “I love my little science man 💕” Imagine the cute dates! He’s a sweet little guy!

As you might know, Terra. He’s perfect. He’s sweet, loyal, brave, strong. He wants to be strong enough to protect the ones he loves! He wants to help people! He’s also a himbo. Somebody accurately describes him as a “supportive buff malewife who’s also a himbo.” (thank you for being right) One person points out that “When he makes mistakes, he owns up to them.” The later state that he has a “heart of fucking pure gold. No, no, his heart is worth more than gold it's a heart of tanzanite which is rarer and more expensive than diamonds. He'll do anything for the people he loves, to try to keep them safe and happy. I'm literally in love.” Me too. I’m also in love. Are you?

I see ppl drawing Ienzo from Kingdom Hearts, so here's my attempt at doing so 😁

[xehabaldera]

sentimental things...

[smartzelda]

Blorbo bingo go!

Autor (he counts he's the one your most attached too in the show. I KNOW YOU.)

Mikami

Prompto

Dib

Ienzo/Zexion (throwing him on here cuz you really were an Ienzo apologist for like a solid year buddy.)

Okay so for the good of everyone I've decided to put my answers under the cut because you *know* I can't shut up

ㅤ

Autor:

Okay you know what? That's fair. That's true. I was attached to him BEFORE I knew he was gonna be important. He was the most (side) character of all time to me

Boy sometimes your blorbo is a funky side character who just WANTS TO READ HIS BOOKS IN PEACE IN THE LIBRARY, DAMMIT

(And uh also stalk the pretty boy who comes by to search all the fairytales who you just so happen to be uper jealous of because he gets to live the topic of your special interest)

But he's idk he's more of a voice of reason for other characters, especially early on, but he's also definitely passionate. Somewhere between sensible and will do anything kinda guy. It's almost surprising he hasn't killed a man yet.

ㅤ

Mikami:

*GASP* HIM

I ADORE HIM

Okay I'm aware I'm going to have to explain myself a little

The feral square refers solely to the fact that he gets very much feral when he's passionate about something or generally *really* feeling an emotion. I think how he acts when he writes names in the death note + is noticed by Kira and during the entire yellow box scene (at least in the anime) is proof enough

I will not be explaining the Autism™ square. If you can't get it then 🤷 All you need to know is that even though it's not technically canon it means so much to me that this absolutely factors into his childhood and how things happened to him

Haha you know he's my favorite I couldn't hide it if I tried

He's my pathetic meow meow because he's a serial killer and he dies so tragically and just...sad. He's pathetic and committed atrocities and I love him

Let's be clear, when his mind is at it's clearest, he *is* the voice of reason. And yes this cam be true despite the murder. He has a strong black and white idea of right and wrong, and if he thinks something is wrong he cannot be swayed. It's probably only around Light those reasoning skills dwindle

Technically accidental parental figure is movie canon. I may not have watched the Japanese death note live action movies yet, but by god I live for Teru Mikami adopting Hikari Yagami. Now, of course I'm disappointed from what I know about how that specific plot works and how the movies handle Mikami, but...it's better for the brain if I think about Mikami adopting Light's son and pretending the rest of the plot surrounding that doesn't exist.

By god he needs it so bad. I think most people think he just needs it because he's "insane", likely evidenced by how he acts in the yellow box scene or when writing names, but it’s so much more than "oh, he needs therapy because he's crazy". No, dudes. He's *traumatized* traumatized. I'll spare you all most of my essay for now, but if you take a look at how he narrates his own backstory, it becomes so clear just how messed up a lot of things were, and how some of his feelings on the matter arised after the fact. Teru Mikami, as a middle schooler, did not actually think his mother should die because he asked her to prioritize his own wellbeing and stand down so he wouldn't be bullied. He didn't even begin to think that she must've deserved it and that it was divine justice until she'd died and he had to cope with it. Who he is is such a mix of all the trauma he endured by the bullying and uh harrassment (an understatement), having an absent parent, definitely being neurodivergent, trying to solidify clear differences between right and wrong, being orphaned as a young boy and having to cope with his mother's death, and just...god. Like, come on. There's no way that deciding his dear mother must've deserved death and *that's* why she died along with his bullies, turning from defending the weak to taking out "the bad people", and deciding that he's god's poor meow meow and *that's* why all this is happening because he's "chosen" aren't at least partly coping mechanisms of some sort. Okay, okay. I'll spare you all the full essay

Do I even need to say it? I need to be him now absolutely now. Pretty man with longer hair in trench coat and ah

I mostly marked the muse one for the "haha he's god's poor meow meow" joke but also god I have so much fic I need to write for this man

There's nothing like having identity crisis (in terms of neurodovergence) because you relate too well to a character who is absolutely not neurotypical and dealt with largely similar social problems (minus most of the harassment) to you while also being an intelligent overthinker haha

I don't 100% know why I marked this but it is not derogatory. Does he have a super tragic and traumatic backstory? Check. Is he also literally built to be god's perfect number one follower? Yes. My man looks good and neat, he washes regularly, he can cook, he started working out, he literally thinks he's god's poor meow meow, and he happens to think very very similar to Light so he does get praise. Like of course it implies he worked for most of what he had but by god man he's basically perfect? Like if I was Light I'd malewife him here and now. His life also went coincidentally so just so he *could* see himself and actually become god's poor little meow meow

There are so many reasons to be feral about Teru Mikami

ㅤ

Prompto:

Aaaa I haven't talked about him in a while but god I love him

I need to preface this by saying I only marked angst machine because he is a secret angst machine. Once you get more of his character it just starts leaking out until the dam bursts, man

He is like, quite literally that character who is happy go lucky and a sunshine boy and he's the protag's best friend and everything is great, right? Right??

Wrong. He struggles heavily with body image and fatphobia, his outgoing sunshine personality began as a cover so he'd be more appealing, he feels like a living lie for so many reasons (given that there's a blurred thin line between what of his personality is actually him and what's a curated mask, he pretended he wasn't who he was as a kid thinking Noctis would find him more appealing as he is now, he keeps most of his real thoughts and feelings and insecurities inside because he's afraid to burden them, he feels like an outsider in his own friend group because Noctis is the prince and Gladio and Ignis are connected to that, meanwhile he's just some commoner, and he's not only secretly *from* the empire Noctis's kingdom is at war with, but also was born to become I believe the energy source for the empire's robot soldiers (ik what they're really called don't worry about it)), and he even has an identity crisis! *slaps head of boy* You can fit so much trauma into it! Oh, and also it's implied that his adoptive parents are basically never around and that he's not sure if they care about him so

He needs therapy so bad

He also needs a kiss from his best friend as a treat. It wouldn't fix him but it sure would help

ㅤ

Dib:

Hehehehehehehhehehehehehehe

God I miss him

I am

Mmmmmm

I am literally vibrating okay ah so many thoughts whirring around the brain

I hope what this gets across is that he's an absolute bastard who really has an abnormal threshold for "just a normal Tuesday" and an interesting set of morals. He's a feelings denier, he's absolutely traumatized by all the shit in his life (what, from everything with Zim to going through literal torture to being basically locked in an insane asylum as a child to no one, even his father, ever believing him, to just trying to please a father who's never around and never seems to actually be proud of him, to the best friends he's ever had being another kid who's also probably heavily traumatized and is basically his stalker and well Zim). Whether canon or in aged up fanon this boy is messed up and traumatized, neurodivergent, self sacrificial, easily angered, passionate, and bad at feelings.

ㅤ

Ienzo/Zexion:

Hey HEY

I'm actually still an apologist thank you very much

Yes he did bad things no matter his circumstances and enjoyed it, and yes I acknowledge he could end up turning on the main cast and betraying them

However also he can do no wrong I love him in fact if he just so happened to uh get rid of Ansem tw I would say he deserves it. He can do whatever he wants

By god I am...too tired to go into it right now but wtf when you did into him just

By god so many things have happened to him. At least the rest of the org were older teens this boy was AN 8 YEAR OLD when he became a nobody. Think about that. You're an orphan kid who's practically adopted by the local king and the stern cold man of science. The former is "the fun dad", which means he uses you as an excuse to get his favorite icecream. He doesn't actually hang out with you because he wants to hang with you and doesn't seem to do most of the real parenting. The former cares about his science projects above all, and while he probably does all the parenting work he's far from warm and caring. And then all the people you live with/your older friends practically dramatically exile your technical adoptive parent and convince you that he deserved it, and then coerce you into you know literally having your heart pierced so you can divorce your heart from your body and not have to deal with pesky feelings. So he gets drawn into a literal cult at age 8. And then for the next like eleven years grows up as a nobody/without his heart while being told he's now broken without it and will never be able to truly feel emotion and care, and is also basically raised through these years by said cult made up of his friends and some sketchy people. And then of course he basically dies before coming back to life, and sure he's technically whole but he has complicated feelings about all this and of course now his technically adoptive father is back and just does not acknowledge what he put him through (Ienzo ends up being the one apologizing for everything in front of him as if he's taking the responsibility of it all above himself). I swear he's a ticking time bomb there's no way he can just stay okay with everything that happened to him.

Anyways, thanks for the ask, Xion! You know how I love essaying on my favs🥰
