Stargazing ⭐️

Saw the one meme floating around & decided to make my own version along with using it as a valid excuse to draw these two again. I do see Megalon enjoying it much more that Gigan though. Im my mind, Megs didnt get a lot of time to actually go out & explore by the ruler of Seatopia, so actually going out to stargaze (more than likely fighting just to get permission) means literally everything to him.

With Gigan, it’s more of just something he’s very used to (being from space) but at the same time, i have a feeling that it could be a thing that brings him some sort of bad memories (more like something he’s trying to avoid). Just explain a lil (tho honestly i do feel like it can be its own separate post), his time with the Xiliens & more importantly being in M Space Hunter Nebula proved to be an overwhelming & stressing experience for him (them having “created” him & therefore demanding more & more from him in exchange for “upgrades”). At some point he fled the moment he had the chance when commanded to go fight for them & not returning back. Instead he’s basically been hiding for a good enough while & during that time, he found himself & stayed alongside Megs. Genuinely enjoying his company & someone who didnt judge him compared to the Xilliens

But also given how much it means to his friend to see the stars out at night, he’s willing to make a small sacrifice just to see his best friend smile. That & reminding himself that he can at least feel less nervous & afraid with Megalon by their side, who at this point is the only one that means literally the whole world (or even universe) to him

but yea, these 2 still mean everything to me & drawing them stargazing together was definitely something i wanted to do so yay :D

[i love coming up with lore for some of my more fav kaiju or just kaiju in general. Hope i can at least share most of them ^^:]

This is something I have been thinking about after watching a video of a Japanese fan analysing if Eren had told Hange about his Rumbling plan. There, they made reference to this panel in the manga.

So apparently, these memory shards from Eren (Chap 130 if I remember correctly), are what he saw of the future when he kissed Historia's hand.

Now, we can match these memory shards in Eren's perspective with the events that happened after that, except for the one with Falco and Hange.

I had been very curious why the perspective of Falco is that of the bird flying across him, which was the opening scene for Season 4.

There, Falco had some memories of the Survey corps in the Paradise.

Of course, anime-wise, it could be a bridge for story continuation. But if I think of possible intention from the author in the manga, it could also mean some form of contact with Eren, whether it is in human form or via the Paths, or some form of contact that is not shown. I do not think that he transformed into the bird and thats why the perspective of Falco is as such, but likely he made contact with him via the Path while Falco is lying down injured.

So, what about the one with Hange. In that video, a few points were brought up:

1) Hange was wearing her cape, meaning she was in combat state when the contact with Eren happened

2) She was depicted with the eye-patch and without goggles or glasses. Now, the analysis shared that it could be an emotional meeting (cos Isayama did mention that Hange view the world via her glasses which acts as a filter to her inner emotions), one where Eren told Hange that she is going to die. And Hange, knowing Eren's helplessness and what is going to happen gets emotional.

3) The video then conclude that Eren did meet up with Hange in the Paths and discussed his plans with her. It was also observed that both Eren and Hange concluded that the Rumbling happen because Eren is an idiot (not because he wanted to save Humanity, Paradise Island or his friends).

So, when did Eren possibly met up with Hange?

This question has been bugging me for a while, and here are my take on Eren's memory shard of Hange.

1) Suppose he met up with Hange via the Path, like with Falco, then the timeline would be when she is wearing the cape.

2) Now, we know that Hange was taken by Floch and the Jeagerists to see Shadis first. She was not wearing the cape then. Thereafter, when she led Floch to find Levi ans Zeke, she was in her cape. And glasses.

Now, it is likely that she didnt get to change to her goggles, or that after being Commander, she started to wear her glasses more. But I thought it was significant because the glasses kind of signify the non-combative side of Hange in this situation.

Anyway, thinking in terms of the timeline, there is this cut of Eren which caught my attention.

3) This scene was after the scenes where Eren pushed away Armin and Mikasa, Zeke screamed and Levi commenced his fight with him, and Hange on the way to bring Floch to Zeke after Shadis got bullied by Floch.

One can also think that he is just waiting. But I feel that at this moment, Eren know that his end is inevitable.

If I think on a very broad perspective, Eren has already laid his chess pieces for both the Rumbling and the Alliance to stop the Rumbling. He has:-

- Keep Armin, Mikasa and the 104 safe by locking them in the cell

- Separated Levi and Zeke cos he needed Zeke to activate the Rumbling.

So, the unknown factor here is if Levi can survive Zeke's suicide explosion. Because Levi is also important in ending his life towards the end. He needed Levi to be alive, and the only thing he needed to make sure is that someone can find and save him.

4) So this is where I think Eren connected with Hange via the Paths and let her know about the future. I also believe that he wanted to know the determination of Hange to find and save Levi, while putting her life at risk, similar to how he may have connected with Falco, who also played an important part in the Marley arc of the story. He needed these important pieces to move his next step.

So I think that Hange and Eren had a heated discussion and that is where we see an emotional Hange in the memory shard. And I think that is why both of them concluded, he is just an idiot who is helpless against all the things that will happen.

(Levihan lens is on!!)

So I do think that Eren, once knowing that Hange will go all out to save Levi, then erased her memory and the sequence of events followed as what was depicted. This is because he knows that when Hange sees a mortally wounded Levi, she will make a decision that is driven by her feelings that she hide deeply, or not even aware of until she realises it. It could also be her response knowing that Levi could die because of the explosion.

5) So, why do I say that Hange's intention is important? Why didnt he let Hange know when he was in the cell and doing his very cool hairdo? I feel that he is waiting for triggers that would signify the next steps. And all these are not in his control. Like Floch is the one making sure his plans work, so he can only rely on Floch when he is in jail. Same thing, he needed to rely on Hange to reach the final scene that he sees in the future memories, whether it is saving Levi or forming the Alliance.

6) I believe that he wanted to make sure that Zeke is alive. But with Founder Ymir repairing the Titan that Zeke ripped apart and then sending that Titan to revive Zeke, I think this is something he realised that his future's death may not happen because if Zeke is alive and Levi died, Eren will not die at Mikasa's hands without Levi's help.

That memory shard of Hange could well represent something else totally. But it will be so interesting to think, what did happened in that memory of Eren's with Hange that she is so flustered and emotional.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Raven i’m confused about why Idia had to impliment a spell/tech into Silver, Sebek, & Yuu’s pens & phone. Cause didnt he say moments before that it’s your imagination and you can do anything in a dream, so why would magic even be necessary for a transformation when they’re just using their imagination? Wouldn’t it have made more sense if Idia told the boys to learn to be more creative?

As an artist i was mildly offended, it felt like I was being called not imaginative enough to make art 😅

I don’t think this is a contradiction? 😅

It is an issue of imagination. While you can technically do anything in a dream, it isn’t possible if you fail to visualize it well enough in order to manifest the clothing change, whether you use magic or not. This is the case for Sebek, Silver, Grim, and Yuu (especially Yuu, who doesn't have any magic to begin with). Recall that this is also true when comparing dreamers, even though the dreamers themselves are not using magic to form their dreams. For example, Epel has a ridiculously buff body but retains his face because he lacks the imagination to picture a more congruous face and body. Meanwhile, Rook’s dream is highly detailed, right down to the dates and issues of his celeb magazines, because his imagination is very strong.

Idia can't just tell Silver, Sebek, Grim, and Yuu to "learn to be more creative". That doesn't work irl either. You can't exactly command someone to "be more creative" on the spot and expect that to be effective, can you? They're struggling to remember the details of their usual clothes to conjure them, because that's just not something most people would pay close attention to.

Ortho points out that first year students only recently learned the spell that allows people to change outfits, so in Sebek's case, he hasn't mastered the magic and he lacks the imagination to perfectly replicate the details of his dorm uniform (which doesn't require magic). Both methods failed for him.

Silver indicates that he has yet to master illusion magic as well. It's not clearly stated in the same scene, but I'd think that Silver may also have issues remembering the details of his other outfits, as he is generally a space case and doesn't pay attention to aesthetics.

I should point out that, in Vil's Bloom Broom vignettes, he tells a story about how, in his first year at NRC, paparazzi pursued him and his father. At the time, Vil had not yet mastered clothes changing magic, but he managed to use color-changing magic to alter the color of their outfits and accessories. We similarly see Ace and Deuce practicing color-changing magic on an apple in Floyd's Labwear vignettes. So... it seems to me that first years don't even learn about clothes changing magic until spring of year 1 (around when book 7 starts). By year 2, they may not have even gotten much practice with it, if Silver's testimonial is anything to go by. Them being younger means they have less practice with the spell but also less practice using their imagination in general. Idia, a third year, expects them to be able to pull this off without an issue. "I figure it'd be a snap to visualize." It's easy for HIM to say because he is 1) an experienced third year and 2) he is a nerd used to staring at screens + games; this makes it easier for him to visualize things, but he is setting the bar too high for his juniors.

Idia helps us out by making a spell/app that does the clothes changing for us because we cannot do it by ourselves, and it simply calls attention to us if we wander into a dream in the wrong attire. I imagine that part of it is also just to have a silly magical girl transformation moment of fanservice. Idia explains this in-universe as a specific phrase coded with the spell in order to avoid accidentally triggering it. The words, in this case, are what activates the change.

I’m not sure if I understand the offense…? Idia isn’t technically wrong when he says the others aren’t imaginative enough. The characters are not able to visualize/remember the details of their outfits. As a result, they cannot make it a reality, whether by means or magic or imagination alone.

I’m not sure if it’s the same as saying, “you’re not creative enough to make art”. In the former, it’s more like an issue of recalling information that is already out there. It is like knowing what a shirt is but not being able to remember the materials or how many buttons it has. In the latter, we’re talking about making an illustration or composition from scratch. This draws upon prior knowledge (shading, shapes, lighting, etc.), but is ultimately being used to make something NEW, not recalling something old/already existing.

I can see why maybe the association could be made, since terms like “creativity” and “imagination” are often associated with artistic endeavors. However 💦 they’re not always tied together, depending on the context.

Hope this helps ^^

Lipgloss lover — Ken <Draken> Ryuguji

Content: fluffy imagine

Warnings: too much fluff

Tropes: established relationship, whipped! Draken

Summary: You really thought that he wouldn’t notice?

Vixen’s two cents: Hi! Here’s something based of a real life experience i had (i couldn’t figure out what the flavor of one of my friend’s lipglosses was after borrowing). I love Draken so much, so let’s celebrate my first Draken post together! Lmk if you like this, and if you have ideas for more little scenarios, my requests are OPEN!! Also, im currently on the hunt for moots to proofread and triangulate with! If you’re interested, please contact me <3. Now enjoy!

Ken furrows his brows after you’ve pulled away from the kiss and were now walking towards the refrigerator. He licks his lips precariously and smacks them a few times for good measure. Something is off about this.

“Babe!” He calls out to you, voice gruff and serious. You turn around a little startled and try to hide a smile when you see the frown on his face. “Everything all right?”

He shakes his head in response. “Mmh I don’t know. Something’s weird.” He waves you over expectantly, his wrist flicking fast to convey his urgency.

With a giggle you go over to him and stand between his legs where he was sitting at the table. “Yes handsome?” Your hand glides over both his shoulders, coming to scratch over his nape and up his scalp.

Draken hums in response, both hands sliding up your thighs and coming to rest on your hips, and tilts his head up to look at you. “Kiss me again.”

“Your wish is my command.” You whisper and lean down to meet him in the middle, and you feel his arms slither and tighten around your hips, his fingers tickling your stomach a little.

When you pull away again Draken’s eyebrows are still furrowed, lips still puckered to a pout. “You did something. What the hell is on your lips?” You laugh a little “What do you mean?”

“You taste different, normally you’ve got this whole cherry-coconut wombo-combo going on but now? Fuck me girl, kiss me again and lemme try ‘n figure out what you taste like.”

Your heart flutters a little and your smile widens a little, and you’re very happy to kiss him again. This time he pulls away “Gimme a tip, love. Do I know the taste? Have you had it before?” You smile and nod. “You know the taste yes, but I haven’t worn it before.”

“Fuck.” He mumbles and licks his lips, looking around the kitchen as if that would help. “You want me to tell you?” You ask him and his eyes snap towards you again immediately. “No. One more kiss and if I can’t figure it out then, sure.”

“Ok.” You Kiss him once more, and when you go to pull away this time, his lips chase yours and his arms tighten around your waist.

“Damn it Baby i don’t know. Hit me.” His eyes are still closed from the kiss and he lays his head on your stomach with a sigh. Lovingly, you card your hands through his hair. “Why would I hit you?!” You giggle.

“Hit me with the cold, hard truth.” Your smile widens knowingly at that, and you take a moment to soak in the comfortable silence with him in your arms.

“Green tea.” You state.

“Fucking what?!” His head moves away from your stomach to throw you a bewildered look, and he look almost offended. “How the fuck could I have known that? Green tea? Fucking cracky ass flavor no wonder I didnt guess it!” He complains whiningly, and you offer him a kiss to the forehead as consolation.

“So you dont like it?” You ask with a smile, fingers coming to caress his cheek bones. “Never said that, c’mere Girl.” You kiss him again, and again, and again…

SAMS rant

Dont come after me, this kinda seems like me defending nexus but meh. If you dont like it or if you cant discuss in a respectfull manner then dont bother to see or talk about it.

---------

Im kinda questioning if anyone told solar or moon about nexus being locked up

Heck i dont even know if lunar or earth knew about it.

The only one who know about this are Sun, Monty and Jack.

I believe Jack thinks that solar already knows and if not then idk.

Here is what im talking about (Recap)

Nexus was planning to kill either bloodmoon or ruin to change their dimensionl energy with solars so solar has a "spot" to fill

Nexus chose bloodmoon for that "sacrefice" and everyone was against it. Saying that solar wouldnt want him to kill someone for him,that it is a bad idea and all. After a while they saw nexus as a "threat" (ig) so they had to take action. Puppet let Sun do something cause nexus is his brother and sun has the right here to "choose" what to do with him. Sun proceded to lock nexus up in a cell commanding the computer to shock nexus whenever he tried to escape. Later on monty came by to check out if moon was retrievable and if he wanted to come back, nexus told monty he wasnt allowed inside his head , that didnt bother monty tho. He commanded the computer to shock nexus until he was uncouncious wich it did. Monty talked to moon inside nexus's head and both agreed on getting moon out was the best option here.

K so that happened.

Here is what i got to observe

Moon comes back, apolegized to sun. Sun tells moon about everything that happend. Just kinda in short.

I mean sure maybe sun left some stuff out, probably some stuff that made nexus seem like a victim here. Obviously moon isnt gonna question that, he trusts his brother and believes his word over others. I mean all moon knows is that nexus had so many thoughts at once and then suddendly it was silence. So i think he tried to put two and two together with what he heard and his conclusion, "yup, that guy went insane".

Thats practically mooms forst impression of nexus.

Minus him being able to personally talk to nexus inside their head, he briefly got to see how nexus WAS like.

Solar on the other hand CLEARLY wouldnt just take anything for an answer.

Seeing his reaction solar obviosuly wanted to know EVERYTHING that happened. Here is why i think sun didnt tell him about nexus being locked up. Solar would NEVER just brush that off as if its a normal thing. Solar once mentioned that he dosent like rooms (ep. When he first came to that dimension asking nexus if he could move in) and that was told in a way of like idk kinda giving off that he was probably locked inside a room or put inside a room to be "abused" by his moon (since some people theorize that and it sounds like something that could have happened im gonna be assuming it actually happened). So as someone who was locked away himself he wouldnt just see that as something you can do to everyone. I mean sure sun probably told him that nexus had a breakdown for solar, nexus went insane for solar, nexus wanted to kill for solar but never have i EVER seen sun mentioning nexus was treated like shit. And yes people could say "but maybe he said it off screen" MF SOLAR WOULD STILL NOT SEE THAT AS A GOOD THING. HELLO?

As messed up as it sounds and idc if people hunt me down for this. I feel like sun only mentioned the parts that makes HIM sound like a victim here, and nexus as the bad evil guy.

Yes maybe i am getting to far with this but ot really just seems like the only logical thing for me.

Speaking of logical

People say that when moon put sun in that magical box was a bad thing. But when sun does it to nexus its suddendly a good thing? Sun also almost went through slme sort of search for one person to KILL and we justify that but when nexus does it it suddendly people are like "yeh you cant do that, killibg is bad bohoo"

And trust me i am seeing it from both sides, Sun KNOWS how bad that feels like and STILL did it to nexus. Thinking its a good thing, are you fucking kidding me?

So as long as the "hero" of the story does it its suddendly justice? But when someone else does it then its "yeh no thats an evil guy"

This really angers me so much.

Maybe i really am just overthinking it but i cant think of any other way this could have gone.

your drain folk beauty standards post is super interesting!! I'd love to know more about the impact they've had on the bizzyboys we see in game. Like how is capochin considered fem for a drain guy? Hector doesn't match the masc ideal seeing as he's the tallest of the drain folk we see in game. Is it a point of insecurity or does he like to be more fem leaning (i personally hc hector as transfem postcanon too so i have thoughts hehehe). Where do the other bizzyboys fall into these standards? What variations are there within the bizzygroups?

Your art is wonderful and I love seeing your hcs!! dont feel pressured to answer everything i just got excited hehe

Have a wonderful weekend!!

when i talk abt drain beauty standards we ALSO have to take in mind that there is a big theme of exceptionalism and obvious influence of the outer earth and grove pushing Inspekta´s views towards his own individualism, so the bizzyboys have shifted from drain-standards towards Inspekta´s standards, which is basically whatever neurotic view of the world he will hold at that moment that often reflects his own insecurities, and that goes often directly to Capo , Hector had been already been implied to been treated poorly before godhood and worked really hard for respect, he was tall for a drain guy, he stood out like a thumb and perceived sorta motherly, but in a way that made others walk all over him or treat him like a breathing coat hanger, so as retaliation he bulked up and emphasized reliability and command to be perceived as more masculine, surrounding himself with people and studying n studying to appear more interesting and refined, Capo was his first true devotee and at first he was reaffirmed constantly of his masculinity, he followed through and they both made good emphasis of the strength of numbers and charisma, of making strong impressions of people and looking like they always know what they are doing,

but after godhood , Inspekta basically held onto a TON of baggage and internalized a lot of things and got overwhelmed by the amount of information the world had to offer, the way they were all being perceived in the grove was just a big change, Inspekta turned into a very superficial person, and pushed people into roles they probably didnt know they were cornered into, Inspekta has a lot of gender dysphoria and because he doesnt cope well with it, he cant allow himself to Be part of femininity because that means going back to being demeaned and looked over, he basically starts living thru Capo by praising any waifish traits he shows which Capo interprets more romantically than it actually is, because Inspekta is being very self centered here, which goes to show that dysphoria can not only hurt yourself but others too.

besides that tangent, the rest of the bizzyboys do have some variation but with the process of selection of the team Inspekta has made sure they Are up to the standard, with exception for Grujaja, who i think would be a bit above average height for a drain guy, but he is constantly hunching over and wearing the cone thats bigger than him makes him look smaller, as for Vib, Vibiano has been "breaking the code" for years, he wears heels that are almost as tall as Capo´s , lotta jewerly, contouring and posturing in ways to make himself look taller and willowy and elegant, and nobody questions this because Capo allows it, because Vib makes Capo look more masculine if they are side by side (and Vib actively asserts Capo´s masculinity without conditions) . its all a very dumb balance of performance here.

hades 2 conversation dialogue my sister and i found interesting

SPOILERS obviously. my sister has been failing her runs on purpose to get more dialogue out of people. this post discusses dialogue that was not in the developer stream.

on hermes (mel and hecate are speaking about hermes and artemis at the start):

on melinoë, artemis, and the olympians:

on why mel is the only one who can kill chronos:

on hecate & mel's relationship:

on a secret order that mel is apart of:

on mel's job at the crossroads:

tension and secrets in the crossroads!!!!

when you give hypnos nectar:

(i wasn't fast enough to get his reply. hypnos says something like "zzzz... welcome to the.... zzzz"), then mel says:

other things i didnt screengrab:

hypnos: mel can remark to charon that hypnos is still asleep, charon says "arrghhh," and mel says "wait, he's of more use this way...?" possibly implying hypnos's sleep is not what it seems

nemesis: is uhhh kind of really mean!!!! she says something to mel along the lines of "you're upset you lost a family you don't remember? i KNEW my mom, all you did was be born"

moros: you can invite moros to the crossroads and he stands near the fated list far from everyone because nobody wants to talk to doom incarnate (odysseus in particular makes a point to say he'll stay away). iirc he introduces himself as "the bearer of bad news" which i find kind of clever but also a bit sad. if you give him nectar iirc he says nobody has given him a gift/offering before. aphrodite also notes that moros has made mel's acquaintance and calls him good-looking.

hephaestus: he criticizes your weapon's workmanship when you first meet him, then later takes it back and compliments it as very good, and says "just don't go spreading it around" to the olympians.

takeaways:

hermes is "missing" but he's on a mission for the war to find out what chronos is scheming

artemis (and hermes) didn't tell the olympians hecate has been raising a titan-killer (mel) and the olympians don't really believe she can do it but send her boons anyway, presumably figuring why not

only mel can enter the house of hades to challenge chronos, so that's why she needs to make this journey alone

hecate is rather sweet and mentorly with mel, but she gets exhausted and irritated when mel doubts herself. i didn't grab it but there's a bit where mel says if hecate had not held back, she knows she would've lost, and hecate snaps "you know?" asking mel why she puts limits on herself

mel, hecate, selene, and artemis are part of a secret order called the silver sisters that hermes also supports. olympus does not know about it. all these gods (save hermes) also have moon iconography in their designs

pretty sure moros will be romanceable. i think his and mel's interactions are very sweet, and aphrodite notes he's arrived and calls him good-looking, which reminded me of how she commented on thanatos to zag. no idea who might be a female romance option yet (i'm assuming there is one)

hephaestus boons are a lot of fun, per my sister

the big one: HECATE AND NEMESIS KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T??? hecate maybe knew an attack was coming and didn't do anything?? nyx is also confirmed to basically be not around though we don't know where she is. and hecate is something called a handmaiden??? is she meant to serve nyx? it now seems like the children of nyx are meant to serve hecate, and eris isn't doing that, but nemesis is playing guard duty begrudgingly. so maybe nemesis thinks hecate let the house be captured/destroyed for her own ends, possibly also to get nyx out of the picture, so nyx's children would serve her(?). maye nyx is also a silver sister and hecate is now in command at the crossroads/on earth, second only to selene?

JADESPRITE: what did you do to me?? JADE: i prototyped you and brought you back! [...] JADESPRITE: you shouldnt have, this is overwhelming and awful [...] JADESPRITE: its hard to describe what its like JADESPRITE: but its too much for me JADESPRITE: and the sun... JADESPRITE: its way too big and bright and i cant stop seeing it...

Dream Jade was thrust into godhood against her will, and she’s not taking it well. Sensory overload is only to be expected, as her body is pierced by emerald rays that she was never meant to feel.

As far as Jade was aware, Dream Jade's consent to prototype this body was equivalent to her own. She's OK with this, so it's probably somewhat disconcerting that Jadesprite is not. It's like having your own reflection disagree with you.

JADESPRITE: i was happy where i was with my friends

Wait, so Dream Jade was aware after she died? Was she a ghost?

...wait a second.

If Dream Jade had her own consciousness in death, before she was prototyped, doesn't that mean she always had a separate identity to her counterpart? That there were always two Jades in the equation, even though they were never awake simultaneously?

I'm starting to think that everything I know about Dream Selves might be wrong.

JADESPRITE: i want to go back JADE: i dont think... JADE: that it can be undone :(

Not even in the obvious way. The whole reason we created Jadesprite is because she's borderline indestructible, and therefore might stand a chance against an invincible foe. Her inability to die is the whole point.

JADESPRITE: why, why would you do this? JADE: we need your help! […] JADE: me and dave and rose and john JADESPRITE: john!!!!!!!!!!! […] JADESPRITE: john, poor john… JADESPRITE: id forgotten about him JADE: what do you mean, how could you forget about john??? JADESPRITE: it was so long ago! i put that sad memory behind me

From Jade’s perspective, her Dream Self died hours ago – but Jadesprite’s body has been dead for years, and that seems to be the frame of reference she was working from in the afterlife.

She's been pulled out of peaceful rest, stuffed into a Sprite, and commanded to do her part as a Player once again, in a session which was traumatic enough for her for the first time around.

It's not just the Green Sun's light that's bothering Jadesprite - this whole situation is hell for her.

JADESPRITE: after we died i looked all over for him but couldnt find him […] JADE: but john didnt die! JADE: i saved him JADE: YOU saved him, dont you remember?

She also seems to think that John died alongside her, even though her last act was to save his life. This is still Dream Jade, after all, and she’s always been a little absent-minded.

☆ It was ages since I made the headcanon poll but like I was still shaking in my boots about it but you know what I'll just post it and like close my eyes...

☆ Also incoming looooong yap.

Here's my Don Flamenco HC'S! (Well, generally how I draw about him anyways)

❗❗ CW: ableism, general distress, homophobia, ED ❗❗

☆ Because I cant physically shake away "Don" meaning literally Señor or Sir, his name is Santiago Alvarez. Why he chose to use a surname that's used for like older people? Idk he is just that sure of himself 💀 he commands respect people!

☆Already rewriting the canon and we literally have so little of that 😭

☆He's Spanish and Mexican 🇪🇸🇲🇽! Being Spanish from his mothers side and being Mexican from his fathers side

☆ He is an affair baby 💔 his father, Lorenzo Alvarez, was considered a good enough father, but not exactly a good husband. Camila Alvarez ended up having an affair with Lorenzo due to the troubles arising in their marriage, and she had it with Mateo Flores.

☆ While Camila did end up confessing the affair to Lorenzo, and they were able to make amends and seek counseling, the affair did result in Camila getting pregnant.

☆ This did not waver Lorenzo's dedication to the child though, as he would raise the kid as his regardless of not being his child by blood.

☆ Mateo was not even aware of Camila's marital status, and while he respects that Camila and Lorenzo worked it out, he was still completely dedicated and ready to raise the child as his and he was not willing to give that up.

☆ So Don has 2 dads, and while he lived with Lorenzo and Camila, he visited Mexico often in order to be with Mateo. (Every summer guaranteed, sometimes Mateo would gather enough money to bring him for some holidays ^_^)

☆ He also has 2 sisters:

Esperanza Alvarez, who is 4 years older than Don- and Paloma Alvarez, who is 6 years older than Don.

☆ Currently (Don being 23, Esperanza being 27, Paloma being 29), Paloma is a civil lawyer and Esperanza is a freelance artist

☆ As far as childhood goes, it was messy for Don to say the least

☆ He has audhd which wasn't diagnosed until his adulthood, since his family isn't one to believe in mental health topics or neurodivergency, all they know is that depression does exist but can only be diagnosed to people who went through tragedies and stuff like that.

☆ On top of that it became harder to accept that he had autism due to not showing "common traits" for autistic people, seeing as he was extroverted, loved engaging in conversations and was not like shy or put off by eye contact, so on and so forth.

☆ In reality he often masked to put on a persona, as a lot of interests that he would grow attached to made him look weird and pushed people off and he would rather have people like him than put them off, even if it made him really upset that he didn't feel understood

☆ with adhd he was just told that children are "always hyper" and impulsive and that behavior goes away over time (which of course it didnt). Most of his symptoms were often just oversimplified and not made to be seen as a big deal or signs of neurodivergency

☆ His behavior and visible symptoms just landed him into trouble with his parents, more specifically Lorenzo, who opted that you can discipline those actions out of a child. This left Don constantly masking and leaving him overstimulated often (which makes him physically ill, giving him a pins and needles feeling all over his body and an upset stomach), needing to decompress in silence in his room until he was no longer in pain

☆ His family, more of the side in Spain like Lorenzo and Camila, were pretty closed minded in general. While Lorenzo was the type of father to be encouraging of Don and what he persues, he would make it very clear as to what things would be okay for Don to do. He's very emotionally receptive when it came to sports and more masculine hobbies, giving praises to his son for tackling sports. But if Don showed any interests in the arts, fashion, or dance it was immediately flagged as an issue. Any of these expressed interests would have Lorenzo not outright deny him of doing those things, but shame him for doing so, calling him maricón, fino, partido, and pato as means to embarrass him from participating in hobbies that could make him "look gay" or less masculine.

☆ This was different in Mexico however, as Mateo was more open minded and he always made sure to reassure Don in whatever he does. While he did not understand why Don would express his interests in "weird ways" he would try to sit with him and understand what he was interested about (Don spoke like a jet engine as a kid when he wasnt masking lol)

☆ from a general standpoint, the back and forth between family members would leave him disoriented. The trip from Oaxaca, Mexico to Madrid, Spain and vise versa would be around 12 hours on plane, in which by 14 years old he would take alone for the family to save costs, and they were often overstimulating and overwhelming, with no one there to help him through his nerves.

☆ Despite his struggles with travel, he loved going to Mexico to spend the summer with Mateo! Mateo would listen to him the most and wasn't as judgemental towards things he didnt understand.

☆ Don had his problems when living in both countries though. When he was in Mexico, he was often pushed aside because people looked at him as believing that Don thought he was "too good for them" because of being Spaniard. Meanwhile in Spain, he felt an isolation in the back of his mind, knowing he technically was not his fathers son. He also felt anxiety from trying to make his dad happy, seeing as he felt he would need to work harder to make up for not being blood related.

☆ Most of the things that Don did was in order to make his dads happy. Ironically, Don got into bullfighting to make Mateo happy. Due to the more lenient laws for minors to bullfight in Mexico (as compared to Spain where adults can only partake in), he would start bullfighting in Mexico during those summers he was there, and eventually when he was 18, he could transfer his skills to bullfighting in Spain.

☆ He at least felt some comfort in knowing that whatever he would pursue, Mateo would show him very clear visual and audible positive feedback. This was a lot more difficult for Lorenzo though, as his positive feedback was not clear to Don and he had a hard time reading what emotion Lorenzo would show towards him.

☆ Don does boxing for Lorenzo, if that in your face Spain attire wasn't enough to convince you on that matter 😭 while Don does really enjoy boxing and bullfighting, there is still that lingering thought of "doing it for them" which strains him to be his absolute best.

☆ Another problem he faced growing up was the perception of himself by others, which seemed to constantly see-saw depending on where he was. In Spain, his family, specifically Lorenzo, would call attention to him being chunky or "fuller" (which mainly was concentrated on his face, baby fat face 🥺). He would spend his time in Spain trying to lose that weight in order to not get comments about it. In Mexico, it's quite literally the opposite, they call him incredibly skinny, saying he needs to put meat on his bones. This back and forth that he was stuck in would lead him to have an extremely warped image of himself, which he still continues to have.

☆ This would also lead to Don developing abnormal anorexia nervosa, building habits that would make sure he is directly "in the middle" so both families will not have anything negative to say about his body, and he continues to suffer from it. A lot of his perception on his body depends entirely on how others view him and he heavily relies on the input on others about how he physically presents himself. This carries into friendships, relationships and pretty much any circle that would have a need to speak on his body, like sports as well

☆Don did/does love his family a lot even despite the flaws that are present from both sides. While Lorenzo is a tough guy to try and please, when Don does please him, it's a very gratifying feeling to know he made his dad proud. His mom also tends to spoil him. When Lorenzo scolds him,  hes running to mama he don't care 💀 even now, if anything is happening in Don's life, his mom is the first to know the chisme. His sisters are also incredibly clingy and super sugary and corny when it comes to Don, constantly smothering him in hugs and kisses when he is around, even now, they do not care he is grown that is their baby brother! 

☆ His love for his family is so strong that he tends to turn a blind eye at the genuine problems and trauma that he faced as a kid, since they're all so nice to him theres no way they are to blame for the mental and physical struggles he still deals with. He often gets defensive about it too, and genuine constructive opinions expressed about them causes him to lash out. While he comes off as extremely harsh and bratty for doing so, it's his only defense and what makes him feel okay about still having a connection with his family even after all his struggles, you have to always depend on your family after all.

☆ There is also a balance when it comes to the two dads, and Mateo isnt some total pushover 💀 Machismo is pretty prominent for Don's family in Spain, so by the time Don started getting around with girls, Lorenzo was literally encouraging of it- he could see a different girl in his house the following week and be like "haha that's my son". This does NOT slide with Mateo, if Don isn't home before sundown and he spots him with a girl just to spend the night, he is absolutely scolding him 💀 pulled by the ear in front of his girl type stuff 😭

☆ Seeing as Don lived prominently in Spain, he pretty much leaned into being a womanizer there, but a total saint in Mexico 🙏🏼

Just some hcs to throw in that dont have a placement really:

☆ Growing up, he liked the nickname Tiago because it made him feel so epic and cool, but like people did not call him that 😭 his sisters called him Titi, Lorenzo called him Cacheton (chubby cheeks), and anyone who spoke to him in Mexico called him Huecitos (Bones)

☆ He is hypoglycemic (got it from Mateo) and also has hypoglycemia unawareness, so while his symptoms are visible to others he will not initially react to them.

☆ He is a scream laugh guy, you said something funny? Every circuit just heard this mans scream of a laugh

☆ his special interest is perfumes/colognes and beanie boos and beanie babies that he thinks "match" that perfume/cologne

☆ ASMR, specifically food centered ones, make him physically gag/ sick until the sounds can leave his head

☆ Trust that Don loves Mateo with all his heart, but the male pattern baldness came from him 💀 hes like how can you do this to me. Added stress also did not help his hair thinning 😭

☆ he is pretty bratty and stuck up, he believes he is allowed to be after letting himself be put so low as a kid so now he will be rude and act like a brat as a treat 💀

☆ He is a big sensory person, he could be walking down a busy street and could catch a whiff of an extremely specific smell and suddenly have an overwhelming memory from it

☆ Also very particular about food in general, he cooks because he feels reassured and confident knowing that he knows everything that is in the dish since he made it.

☆ Health and beauty nut, hes got that 15 step skin care routine before bed on LOCK do not play with him about that. (But he smokes so like 🤩 that's not counterintuitive at all what do you mean /sar)

Here are some drawings I have about him + the fam that I was holding off on posting until now

☆ Parenting style is a little- different to say the least

The fam!!!

Teen Flamenco bullfighting 😁

☆ That's the long yap whoops.. thanks for sticking around and reading! :,)

a shiro-focused incoherent rambling !!!

from. the biggest shiro fan ever in 2025 ^_^ joke

ok firstly sorry for how disjointed this will be, secondly id love to hear anyones opinions on this so please dm or comment or anything!!!!

with how little attention there is to the other paladins aside klance, its no wonder that shiro is so one dimensional to the fandom. i mean like even in the show he’s not a greatly written character. we dont know his motivations, background, family, what he does for leisure, we see all of the other paladins have hobbies but NOTHING for shiro. his character is majorly inconsistent and that can just be blamed on kuron. he gets entirely shafted for s8 after his clone was allegedly the one we saw for like 5 whole seasons. i’m just saying he’s extremely underutilized and written. we harp on lance and hunk not getting any arcs but at least they have substance. i’d wager the shiro we see around the paladins isnt truly him either, yet we never get to see him outside of “commander” mode. theres a reason why adashi and curtis x shiro content depicts him so differently, because he would probably act less strict around those his age who he is close to!! he was traumatized as a literal pow by fucking aliens for a year or more for fucks sake.

“shiro after being broken up w by his fiance, taken as a pow, got a new alien hand, became a dad for 4 troubled teens, the leader of an alien warship robot that supposedly will save everyone from the genocidal maniac, dying and being stuck into the shadow realm, his clone becoming evil, being resurrected only to not have an arm and white hair, then returning to earth to find out his ex fiance died, getting a new robot hand, having to pilot another warship robot and then finally retiring at 28 probably.” - me literally making fun of how insane shiro’s story is

SPEAKING OF FUCKING SHIRO’S STORY. I OWN THAT BOOK. it only mentions his days at the garrison briefly. fucking nothijg before that. hobbies? HE DOESNT HAVE RHEM. favorite color?? we only know his “fav” animal bc of that stupid trivia thingy oh mu gooodddddd shiro shiro what did they do to you.

actually ny initial point was just for the fandom to treat him more like a guy. he definitely had maladaptive coping mechanisms. he’s worse than keith, keeping everyone at arms length away. he HAS to be strong for everyone! he’s the only decorated piloted on voltron! the oldest human!! they all look to him for support. we see him sillier at times and id like to think thats the real him. imo, shiro is considerate, loyal, a bit stubborn, curious, strong-willed, resilient, passionate, silly, charming, humorous, disciplined, generous, intelligent, and responsible. but he is also self-sacrificing, emotionally reserved, exhausted, having to choose between saving more people or his team in a literal war, would be the type to abuse substances for coping, probably depressed and canonically disabled mentally and physically (PTSD). he could’ve been so good for rep and then they just … didnt do anything w him. lol! so funny thanks voltron writers. um no conclusion thats it thanks

[mrsnerdygirl]

I have heard about a million times , people saying that , Bellatrix only liked Voldemort because of his power, and Voldemort only slept with Bella because of her looks.

I don’t agree with this, because I think it brings down their relationship , and why it is so beautiful to me . For starters when you speak about looks , and lord Voldemort together, it immediately makes ZERO sense. Of course he was VERY attractive when he was young but that doesn’t mean that he made a person, a death eater because they were hot . Voldemort saw as important, skills and power , and blood pureness , not the way people looked.

I have this headcannon , that while sure he did find Bella attractive all the time , she was the MOST beautiful to him, when she tortured or killed people for him .

Growing up , Voldemort never had anyone do something for him , simply because they loved him . I mean his friends followed his commands in school because they wanted to be feared and successful , not because they loved him or appreciated him as a friend. His death eaters committed crimes because they wanted to , and because they feared saying no . Bellatrix did everything because she had the same interest as him , and she killed her cousin and niece and stopped talking to her sister , to show how little everyone else mattered to her , when it came to him .

Also , when Bellatrix came back from Azkaban and when Voldemort came back more beast than human , everyone was scared to look at him , but Bellatrix kept loving him and didn’t shy away . Which means that looks were never an issue .

On the other hand , when it comes to power , while I’m sure that the first think Bella appreciated about Voldemort was his power , I don’t think she was with him because of it . She wanted power , and she became a death eater for it ,but I doubt she only was with him because of it . I mean she did so much for him , she went crazy when he left , proudly announced she was a death eater , she left her sister behind ,who she clearly loves so dearly , all for power?

I mean I’m sure that every other death eater was there for power , like luscius , the carrows etc., but they all denied, denied, denied , while Bella didn’t hesitate once.

She fought in the battle , while she was still weak from giving birth , which no other person would have done(accept of her niece, which shows exactly how the blacks are).

Also there are situations throughout the book that show the connection they had . In “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” , when Harry broke the prophecy, and he was fighting against Bella , Voldemort came and took Bella away the moment the situation heated up . He knew that his fight with Dumbledore wouldn’t be a children’s play, as well as knew that the ministry would soon arrive and while they wouldn’t be able to catch him, they could catch Bella. And he was right , the ministry came , they saw him , but didn’t manage to trap Voldemort . They did catch up to the Death Eaters though, which resulted into them being thrown in Azkaban .

In the deathly hallows, we see that Voldemort had learnt about Dora's marriage and that was clearly not good about Bellatrix or the Malfoys, but while he makes fun in general of the family, the moment he sees that Bellatrix was getting embarrassed and that they were making fun of her, he stopped the other Death Eaters.

When Voldemort faints after he hits harry with the killing curse, only Bellatrix dares to go near him, while everyone tried to get away as far as possible.

When Bella gets hit by the killing curse,he screams. He didnt have such a dramatic reaction for any of his death eaters. We actually see that he gets THAT mad only when something important gets destroyed. He clearly stops acting as if the battle is a fun game, and tries to wipe away molly. He could kill 3 important people to the order of the phoenix, but choses instead to kill molly, who wasnt important at all.

Now, i know that most people see villains as people who arent capable of having any feelings towards human beings. But villains are actually as human as any other person, and compared to the heros who are always sacrificing themselves and moving on fast, villains go through events more dramatically, for longer periods of time, much like any other human being. After all, any normal person sees a hero, and admires their courage to be strong, knowing that they could never do it.

Voldemort does have feelings though, as much as any other person. While he killed people brutally, and never felt live as a child, it doesnt mean he didnt feel love or any other emotion.

So to understand better here is an example, in deathly hallows, when harry goes inside of Hogwarts while under the invisibility clock, he sees that Ginny , his lover, nearly dies, and that maked him change his plans fully. Instead of charging towards Voldemort, he turns to Bellatrix Lestrange to make sure that she wont harm Ginny, because the thought of her getting injured or worse dieing makes him want to burst .

When Molly kills Bellatrix, Voldemort changes his plans, and turns in Molly's direction to take revenge for her.

I think that this must have helped most people to understand that, what Voldemort amd Bellatrix had wasnt just a fling, and that it actually was the closest to true love those two had come across.

Hi! I absolutely love your work! Please take your time and feel free to ignore this!

So I was hoping to request dad Fukuzawa and big brother Ranpo with a teen reader. Basically the port mafia found her when she was like 6 and took her in cause of her ability. But she never obeyed them cause she didnt want to hurt anyone. But then when she was 10 she was put under Dazai and I think we can all tell where that went. So then she’s like heavily traumatized and won’t do anything without someone telling her, won’t even eat.

So then fast forward Dazai leaves the port mafia and takes her with him but since she hasn’t committed any actual crimes that would cause her to go into hiding the government office guy put her with Fukuzawa while Dazai went into hiding. Basically the two are neutral to her at first then get really protective.

(I had the idea that they try to work up her confidence but not too much so to keep her as their sweet obedient little sister/daughter)

Feel free to ignore this! I know it’s a lot. Again love your work and take your time! Don’t over work yourself too!

A:n; thank you for the request and sorry for the late as some work came up pilling.

Either way, it's Platonic Yandere Fukuzawa x Teen fem! Reader x Platonic Yandere Ranpo x Platonic Yandere Yosano The agency members present during the time

The first thought for Fukuzawa was... Why?

He never thought of babysitting I mean you might be around 13 when he was given the responsibility more likely by Takeda (I think that was the guy's name?)

Your e/c dull eyes bored at him contemplating on what you have gone through... Only to find out who you were and why you were brought By later on the years.

Ranpo often pokes you as you stay still like a robot unless told. He whined about how you were so quiet and tried to send you for errands on his part.

Though he kinda feels guilty whenever he sends you out it is like he was ordering you.

Maybe he was but later on he try to be less ordering for sweets errands and tried to talk to you by showing the new sweets and share it with you.

The first time he ever felt a sense of proudness when you smile while eating one of the special sweets he brought during his out case.

A sense of understanding was there of the fact your mother died before you even saw her face and your father had an accident meeting his demise.

Unlike Kyouka you don't even speak unless told! This was overwhelming.

Like an elder sister Yosano was who talk to you and ask about your health and even treat you well.

She knows how it is to be traumatized and she wonders what and who has pushed you to be completely out of emotions.

Instead her most concerns was you didn't even felt pain when your hand was burn not a well nor flinch.

Truly you were completely out of emotions or sort.

But don't worry Yosano will always be there to treat you and make sure you take care of your health.

Ranpo on other hand sometimes ask about your ability which your gaze often fall to the side.

But after a year of been together you somehow open up. You can talk more likely small talk or a nod or shook but it was a progress!

You also smile a bit! It was not a waste of efforts.

But... One time your tears fall from your eyes as your quivering hand holds the hem of the sleeves of Fukuzawa.

You almost thought you would lose another happiness when he brought up that it would be better as he mention about you getting adopted.

You eventually spoke your mind to Fukuzawa was taken aback by your words.

"Please... I will obey every command please don't take my happiness away"

Happiness.

So you do find the agency your happiness.

Fukuzawa pat your head as he went to your level and nod.

"I won't take away your happiness... But staying in agency will risk your life"

"My life has always been"

"...why do you want to stay for?"

"..."

"What is it that you find happiness from?"

"My happiness... I found from Yosano-san... Edogawa-san, Kunikida-san Kenji-san and you"

From that day onwards you ought to never leave the agency even if the certain someone told you to leave.

Even though it was shocking for Fukuzawa to hear it on your part some part of him was happy that you finally found happiness... And it is from the agency.

You could say... You are now apart of the agency as a whole now.

.

.

.

.

You start to open up and do stuff on your own. It was a good progress but... Ranpo make sure you also listen to them so that you will depend on them especially him!

After all you call him, Ranpo-niisan! And he promises to be your number one brother and make sure no one take his place.

It took him years he can't let someone just pop up in your life and take the place of being an elder brother.

Yosano often brings you along from cooking to shopping to you sharing apartment with her.

After all she finally have someone to dote on and the fact you (she insist after Ranpo pressuring and succeeding in calling him big brother)

So she ought to be look out on whatever you have to learn and the day when your first period come she will be first to reassure you and take care and explain to you.

Fukuzawa well he is like your father figure I mean he literally adopt any Orphans by now so yeah.

He does make sure your ability is not misused or misinterpreted by people.

You can reassure yourself that you have a family on your back to look after you.

Despite the fact you can protect yourself with your ability.

They just want to make sure you are okay.

.

A:n- t-ats all take care!!

So, I discovered this in my phone while I was doing my annual archiving. It was a clip from the After Party last year and this one is between Levi and Hange.

I didnt think much when I first listened to it, or even when I recorded it down. But today, after listening to it again, I realised, there is a very very subtle hint about their relationship.

1) Hange is talking to Levi about his situation, not talking about Levi and his Zeke squad. The 2 of them really have this bubble between them where they just exist with the other.

Just some random moments which reminds us that Levi is always Hange's most attentive listener (Remember when Oluo told Eren to shut up in Season 1?)

2) So Levi then snap Hange out of her rambling because she is empathising the feelings that Levi had to go through...to have no options but to kill his own squad....

"....it's beyond cruel...." 😢

Or maybe Levi woke up because Hange is mumbling and he has to be the listener and be there for her? 🤔

3) Anyway, I loved how Levi tried to get Hange to think logically and not get to stuck with Sannes' words aka her sense of responsibilities. Although he feels the same, he said he try not to think about it. So this tells me that whatever I am going to conclude about Hange later, also applies to him.

Now, does Levi mean that he forgot about the torture bonding time? No, because he said if he could. But I think that he is trying to tell Hange not to think about what is not helpful to her, especially for the present situation.

Just try not to think about it, like I do.

I think that Levi is trying to help Hange to differentiate between duty and responsibility because these 2 are very different to begin with.

When Sannes, or Hange, or even Nick, felt that it is their responsibility to protect the king, save humanity or keep the Wall's secret, they then faced with that role/ turn that Sannes talked about. But Levi has a duty to kill the Beast, to give meaning to the deaths of the Scouts who had been conned to die, stop the Rumbling, fulfil his promise. A task that he just has to complete, and not feel that he is responsible for it in anyway. Which is why I think he tried to tell Hange to lessen the burden of responsibility, and focus on her duty instead.

And we do hear her tell Jean in 127, that she is still the Commander and she has her duty. But of course, she still struggles with the responsibility part, even up until 132.

4) Now, the last part is where I had a new realisation about their whole interaction here. (Of course Levihan lens in on👓)

I think this is where the very conflicting moment shows for both Levi and Hange.

"We chose to be soldiers, and we chose to push on"

Now, suppose they make the other choice, there wont be any need to fill the role that Sannes talk about. And that alternative choice was really, giving up their duty, or not and live out their lives together in the forest.

And like Hange said, both of them had chosen the path to take.

5) Levi then kept quiet while Hange continued about the roles and turns. I feel so sad here as Hange conclude that when their turn comes, they would need to sacrifice things that they hold dear.

Now, just rewind the clip back and you will notice that Hange had always talked about "the 2 of them".

And I feel that this moment, kind of explains why the 2 of them cannot look at the other in the eye after that.

They understood who they had held dear to them, and the other party also knew.

6) So, what else could be "dear" besides Levi? Definitely not her life because Moblit has always scolded her for risking her life.

For Hange to feel the conflict of sacrificing what she held dear, because of her choice, I think Levi must have understood too. Because their parting words...

"You would understand, Levi..."

And Levi's duty to kill the Beast means he had to sacrifice what he held dear to as well.

7) So in a way, Sannes' words was really for both Hange and Levi, although he said it to Hange directly. But the choice they both made, meant that when the time or turn come, there had to be a sacrifice made.

And thats why Hange did not let Levi speak first. She kind of have forced him to make that "sacrifice". And she took responsibility for that choice he made, likely, to lessen his regret.

** ok, I added that last sentence myself because I cant get my Levihan lens out. 😭😭😭😭
