Ilya & Pri

Based on this song

[artist-kreating-stuff]

Time for the rollerskating girl boss!

Here’s Ilya!

Ilya is the Goddess of Cards. As the patron of card games, she is an incredibly deceitful deity. Hard to read, with a poker face no one can crack, human or god. She can read anyone like a deck of cards, and can figure out exactly how to move against them - with one dealt of a hand, she can make one’s entire façade of confidence crumble.

She created the practice of card games and taught them to humans as a way to test their wits against one another. Along with the card games, she also taught them other skills. How to read one’s opponent, how to keep a poker face, and most importantly, how to bluff in order to keep the enemy guessing. Statues and visages of her are erected in casinos and gambling halls in order for customers to pray for her assistance so that they may win their next game.

Like Lodin, she is viewed as a god of games, though while Lodin is more impartial towards physical games, Ilya is more impartial towards games of wit and deception. And like Lodin, she prefers a simple game in order to decide whether to provide her assistance or not. She always promises to help those who successfully win against her, though she remains undefeated in card games, which means she doesn’t dole out her services a whole lot. Though she can decide to “pull a few strings” if her defeated opponent impresses her enough.

(If Yumeko Jabami existed in this universe, I feel like she and Ilya would be best friends.)

What do you think of Goddess Ilya?

And if you’re feeling a little too steamy, don’t worry - Bashara’s up next!

No one is after Bashara, which means we’re one away from the end of the God AU! If I’ve forgotten any important characters, please let me know!

Beyblade Burst QuadDrive - Ilya Mao

[elreed]

Beyburst heads I know that you’re probably not exactly hot on QuadStrike or Pri

But consider: after Pri breaks away from her brother, rather than creating another Pandora based on the elements, she creates a whole new bey: Freedom Pandora, which not only serves as an allusion to the Pandora’s Box myth as well as her being free of her brother’s control, but also matches her initials GUYS COME ON

Also Ilya and Pri get together and have a battle and kiss afterwards

[demonbutnotdemon]

Finally I decided to make something related to beyblade. It may be a bit boring but it's my home.

Some beyblade burst sky moodboards. Even though Tumblr ordered it reverse, I made the Ilya one first. I'm not sure if I'll make more of these. Let's see how my mood goes. Enjoy! 💋

If there isn't a battle between Quadra and Ilya by the end of the season, I'm going to be VERY disappointed.

Hello there Ilya Mao fans.

[progwords]

What is your headcanon for Rixia/Ilya?

Oh, wow, never expected to get a Trails ship question. Especially not for my...third? Second favorite?

Certainly the second most written about for me.

Either way, a delightful surprise! Boy, there is no short answer to this one, even before Reverie made it WAY more ethically messy.

In the best way possible, to be clear.

If you're talking about their relationship as a whole, I think Zero/Azure and Reverie do a rather excellent job of showing us what that is and a pretty good idea of how that started and what keeps it going.

That said, I do think there was a decent chunk of time where Rixia and Ilya weren't involved at all after she arrived in Crossbell. Any variety of intimacy with who Rixia still perceived herself to be at the time would be rather hollow, and if Ilya was into Rixia initially as "yeah, we bang sometimes", i think that would look VERY different.

The more Rixia learns to love Arc en Ciel, and how art is an exponentially more powerful force for change than assassination/backroom regime manipulation ever could be, the more she de-dehumanizes herself, and the more like a person she feels.

I couldn't really say WHEN Ilya and Rixia actually took that first step, but I would think it was either shortly before Zero started, or shortly after. There is an argument to be made that Ilya knew Rixia was Yin since she started writing "Golden Sun, Silver Moon", considering how, uh, APT her casting is and her "What's Yin? Is that a name or something? Sounds stupid." reaction to getting a threatening letter.

Which means she either got together with Rixia BEFORE figuring that out, or AFTER. I think before makes a little more sense, as then she needs to sort of wrestle with the fact that "oh my girlfriend murders people for money..." Which would also mean, well, yeah, the letter is even LESS scary for Ilya.

You can take that as either "Ilya is fearless and doesn't care", which I think is totally true, considering she smacked Don Marconi for getting handsy. You can ALSO take this as "this is a fake letter; Rixia would never threaten me like this!" which she can't SAY because Rixia doesn't know she knows. I like the latter.

Which begs the larger question I posed above: why is Ilya okay with that? Why is she okay that her girlfriend and co-star murders people for money, very likely people who are political targets and non-combatants. Couple answers here that I think make sense, but my favorite one is that Ilya's a freakin' genius (as we are told and shown so many times)

If Ilya has heard of who Yin is, then she has likely heard that Yin has been around for a very, very long time. Since immortality, as far as Ilya knows, is not a thing, then the next conclusion would be "large organization of people calling themselves Yin" OR "lineage based position." Considering Rixia's age, and her physical conditioning, and her likely enigmatic or ambiguous past (however she tries to explain away what she does for a living or why she moved here), then the latter seems a reasonable deduction.

Which makes the whole thing tragic and kind of impossible to poke at. If Rixia mentions, even once, "oh, I never knew my other" or "my father passed recently", that's enough to realize this is a FAMILIAL legacy, and Rixia inherited this position VERY young. Combined with how much she seems to have changed since joining Arc en Ciel, if Ilya says a WORD, Rixia will probably vanish and throw it all away.

That and...Ilya could be wrong. She could be wrong. Maybe she's not Yin. Maybe it's exactly as Rixia said, and totally mundane. Wouldn't that be nice? Of course, it isn't, and the truth nearly kills Ilya, and almost cripples her, too. But...

Since Rixia has apparently not formally retired---Nadia seems to imply this---the legacy of Yin by Reverie, and since Daybreak, uhm, has her running around as Yin (I miss the old costume from Zero so much) then she must believe there is still something useful about this role she can use. Which is all kinds of fucked up.

If Ilya hadn't done what she did in Reverie---this is a whole other conversation regarding how much work that mask even DID for her to do any of that, because I think it was basically nothing---then I'd say Ilya is turning an almost disturbing blind eye to what Rixia is doing. But after that?

They're not on a level playing field with ethics. It's closer than it used to be, though. Which is also pretty dark, but I DO love that messiness and I do think, in the end, they work very well together.

And we're back with the "Beyblade Burst God AU x Epic: The Musical" crossover!

There still aren't any new releases yet, but the next unpublished one on the list is "God Games"!

I drew Ilya singing as Zeus as he announces the “God Games”. When I was first planning out this series in my head, I thought I would draw Lodin, as he is the literal God of Games. I decided on Ilya, though, because she’s the Goddess of Cards and is more of a mental strategist, which the game relies more on.

The premise is that she notices Aiger (who replaces Athena in this series, BTW) being adamant about saving Odysseus, and is intrigued since the captain has a long list of irredeemable shames. Always being one for a good game of wits, she tells Aiger that she will pull some strings to ensure that Odysseus is set free. If, and that’s a very big if, he is able to convince her lineup of skeptical gods that he is worthy of divine intervention.

This is where I messed up big time in the drawing. The already teased parts of the song were playing on loop in my head while I was making this, so the lineup is a little messed up. It’s supposed to go:

Apollo - Orochi

Hephaestus - Naru

Aphrodite - Akira

Ares - Arthur (Peregrine)

Hera - Shasa, Honey

But as you can see, the lineup in the cards is clearly… not that.

Apollo and Hephaestus’s parts haven’t been teased yet, so I mostly went off of the premises of their characters. What has been teased about Apollo’s part is that it’s accompanied by a beautiful harp piece, so my brain immediately went to Orochi. And Hephaestus is the Greek god of blacksmithing, so I paired his part with Naru.

I honestly gave up with Aphrodite and Ares, and just went with my versions of the gods of love and war: Akira and Arthur.

Hera is the Greek goddess of marriage, so I automatically went with the Guardians of Family: Shasa and Honey. Yup, they share a part because they are that good of sisters.

This song is technically seven songs in one, so yes, I will make drawings for each part. Once again, Apollo and Hephaestus’s parts haven’t been teased yet, but once they are, you can bet that I’ll draw them!

Here’s the first part of the song that this drawing was based off of, animated by the inspiring @anniflamma ! I can’t wait for the parts to come!
