[heybeyby]

I FORGOT I CAN UPLOAD ONTO TUMBLR. anyways. happy pride month to gay/lesbian solidarity

[robotic-bakery]

whenever I have my daily rewatch of shogun steel, I've found it a little weird for the characters to synchrome with only one other person (at least one per bey) despite how it's emphasized to be representative on bonds between bladers.

it's because of this, I now headcanon between the three month period post neo-battle bladers/pre baihu's arrival, zyro and ren decided to synchrome and their combined energy became too powerful that it caused a bey park to be shut down for 1-2 weeks thus it became kind of an unspoken/semi-spoken rule to pick a person and stick with them

[curedeity]

Yooooo FANFIC FRIDAY TIME This is from the second chapter of "Fallen Down Where Dead Boys Go" by @heybeyby and the fic is a banger. It may only have two chapters out, but the character writing is very dramatic and sets up arcs for them all. I especially enjoy the way Shinobu and Ren foil each other in the second chapter, and I'm looking forward to seeing these two fistfight the other or something idk.

Anyway, go read the fic!

[idontthinkimokaymentally]

Hello there Ren Kurenai fans.

Kaname Kuran from the manga "Vampire Knight" by Matsuri Hino

[artist-kreating-stuff]

I posted these on my Wattpad account a while ago, and I’m curious to see what others think of them.

(Beyblade Burst X Demon Slayer part 1)

(Mostly based off of my Elemental Masters AU)

Valt

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Thunder Breathing, and he would know all six forms.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Dragon Storm: he can shoot electricity from his mouth and manipulate the electric charges in the air to create a large storm that he can psychically control. He can also deliver painful shocks to those he touches, and can send charges along items of metal.

Jin

As a Demon Slayer, Jin's Breathing Style would be Wind Breathing and he would know all nine forms (and his sword sheath would be in his coat sleeve for that dramatic SHING moment).

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Spirit Wind. The winds he creates within his cloak can manifest into the ghostly forms of people his opponents have lost. He can psychically control these apparitions to do and say as he pleases - either to fight his enemies or to manipulate them into surrendering. He can also use simple wind gusts to parry incoming attacks.

Ukyo

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Mist Breathing, and he would know all six forms.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Shroud of Mystery. He can cast illusions to disorient and confuse his opponents. At least, he can make himself or other things appear as if they're not there; at most, he can make it seem as if they're in an entirely different landscape. (I tried to make him look mysterious without making him look fully female - I almost gave him lipstick, but thought that would be too much.)

Free

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Sun Breathing, and he would impressively know all thirteen forms.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Mirror Power. When he faces a strong opponent, his body and mind automatically adjust to match his enemy's power, strength, and strategy. He can match his opponent blow for blow and guess each move they make before they even make it.

Lui

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Mist Breathing, though he mostly uses the styles that deliver the most damage.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Smoke Screen. He can create a thick smoke from the various pores on his body to either disorient or kill his opponent. His smoke types range from Sight Impairing to Suffocating.

Xander

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Fire Breathing, and he would know all six forms (and he would have two swords because yes).

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Flames of Hell. His body temperature can reach levels to the point that areas of his body can combust into flames. When it does so, the air around him becomes rival to a volcano's core in heat. An attempt to behead him means risking having one's skin melt off.

Ren Wu

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Water Breathing, and he would know all ten forms.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Mind Cage. If his opponent looks directly into his third eye, he can take control of their bodies to make them do as he pleases. In this state, the conscious of his enemy is placed into a never ending cycle of mind bending nightmares in order to keep them from trying to regain control. Also, if he focuses his third eye at a person, he can read whatever they are thinking in the moment.

Ken

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Stone Breathing, though he would mostly use Third Form: Stone Skin to better accommodate his sword.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Metal Tomb. The plates he grows on his chest and arms can sprout tendrils of metal that he can either maul or shoot and completely entangle his opponent with, slowly crushing them to death. The plates can also extend around his limbs to create an impenetrable armor. The tendrils also come in handy in picking up far-off objects - and people.

Daigo

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Wind Breathing, and he would know all nine forms (also two swords because Doomscizor has two scythes).

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Total Black. He can manipulate the shadows within his cloak to create several tangible limbs for combat - mostly arms. He can also release the shadows like a cloud; if his opponent gets trapped in that cloud, he can smother all of their senses - sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste - to the point that they're completely numb. In that state, they're totally at his mercy.

Shu

As a Demon Slayer, his Breathing Style would be Sun Breathing, and being the prodigy he is, he would know all thirteen forms.

As a demon, his Blood Demon Art would be Energy Wave. He can produce a white energy wave from his hands. This energy wave can either completely heal or completely destroy whoever he aims it at, depending on how he feels towards them; he can control the size of the wave from effecting an entire army to a single person.

(These are kind of old, so let me know if you want me to redraw any of them.)

MetalBurst Project - Season 2: Beyblade Burst Evolution

Includes the basics (bladers, beyblades, battles, events, debuts). Specific scores of individual matches not included. Also, some teams are from different nations to adhere to a 1 team/nation rule (except for Catalonia).

Note: the times when some bladers meet their bey Spirits for the first time are what count as that spirit's debut.

Each opening would have different scenes from the original, but while I can draw I can't animate whatsoever, nor do I have time to draw an entire opening. So use your minds to imagine alternate scenes for the opening.

--------------------------------------------------

[English] Opening Theme (Ep. 1-35): Evolution

[English] Opening Theme (Ep. 36-52): Made For This

[Japanese] Opening Theme (3 versions - Ep. 1-24, Ep. 25-35 + Ep. 36-52): Evolution Burst!

Note: 5 of my OCs in chronological order of meeting C.J.S. after his 'being able to be himself' revelation over the course of a few months - the stoic bodyguard-in-training Esmeralda Petersburg, the disciplinarian Tess Dileva, the poetic Kirumi Silkenstar (introduced in later season), the spunky wannabe witch Karaina Caulton (introduced in later season) & the highly introverted loner Suki Ryushima - are derived from and inspired by existing OCs found on (y/n) x yandere quizzes on Quotev that I took a liking to thanks to the story/characters/detail/etc., like how much of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is inspired by Western songs. This includes their personalities. I took 5 such quizzes honestly answering the questions posed based on my personality and that of Clarkov Sahaidachny/Furutani, my first and main OC, which are very similar in most ways but very different in some areas. These 5 were the results. As for the dere sides, they start out full on and become more mentally sound as time goes on. That part is inspired by the development of Mizore Shirayuki in Rosario + Vampire. It's how I have to do almost everything in life. Start out with a base, then slowly build it into my own thing. It's a bit annoying, but I make do with what I have. I'll leave a link to the quizzes below.
