Venus sitting to take up as lil space as she possibly can but during her transformation, it became the exact opposite due to having wings, so she ends up taking as much space as possible instead.

Neptune remaining mercilessly fashionable while watching the other groups but during her transformation, she's the exact opposite of that due to the black ichor dripping down her chin, making a mess as she walks. She became one you will watch instead of her watching the others.

Jupiter pulling her legs up, liking the security of holding her whole body but during her transformation, hands reach out instead, being the exact opposite in that she wants to hold someone, touch someone, pet someone, hurt someone.

Each of the girls' transformation reflecting on what they really want from the way they normally act is a theme scattered around throughout the game ever since the beginning and I am being very Normal about it again. Venus wants more space for herself, she wants to stop making her world so small, Neptune wants to stop putting on a facade, she wants to be seen as herself no matter how messy that'd turn out to be, Jupiter wants to be closer to someone, she wants to stop being so touch starved but is too afraid to reach out.

[OC] fixed (?) Aria's design to something more fitting for dangerous adventures!! [old design here!] if ya wanna check!!

[kitausuret]

Alright, I have to admit I have not kept up at all with the Carnage/Flash side of Venom comic verse these past few years, so - who is Aria? The few issues I've read centered on Flash during these wacky symbiote times did not contain her, and the Marvel comics wiki gives me nothing. But you have me curious.

Hey there, friend! You wanna know who Aria is? Well, that's exactly what I'm here for. You're right, though - I'm not sure she even has a wiki article yet. She doesn't even have a last name! But I'm all for those underappreciated characters, so, let's go.

(All the following panels will be by Gronbekk/Perez from Carnage 2023.)

(Carnage #1)

We first meet Aria as the bartender at the very on-the-nose-named "Pour Decisions" bar. "Wait, isn't Flash an alcoholic?" Well... yeah. But Aria doesn't know that. And As you can see by the narration, it doesn't have the same effect on him that it used to. But, you'll see this is just another demon he has to battle.

Aria is clearly familiar with Flash - he's become a regular by this point. He's also a bit of a loner but he still knows how to put on the charm. But also, Aria understandably shows some concerns about him.

Flash is seeking purpose in his life, but he's not finding it. Aria knows he's well-meaning, but as always, Flash sometimes gets himself into trouble when he tries to help. It's too bad!

Because Flash is the best, he does apologize for his ill-timed heroics, and like, honestly, who can stay mad at him? Not Aria, even with her perfect hair. (I love her hair.)

(Carnage #2)

She also calls him out on looking like a damn mess.

She's SO into him though and it's so cute. I'm gonna cry. She wants to take that boy home and [redacted/saved for fanfic].

Aria unfortunately vanishes for most of the rest of the series, but since we're appreciating women, let's appreciate Liz for a second here too, after she and Flash take down Carnage.

(Carnage #8)

I'm always giggling at this. Flash doesn't get why there are so many damn symbiotes these days, either.

So even though Aria saw Flash initially as a mess (which he was)...

...after nearly dying at Carnage's hand multiple times/almost losing his mom/being trapped in the Darkforce Cube etc etc, he decides he's got to put himself back together. I do like the panel of him fixing one of his prostheses a lot. It's a nice touch we haven't seen the likes of since Space Knight. (Nice job, Gronbekk & Perez!)

I love this scene where she makes him a mocktail. A fruity little drink. And he does love it. Because who wouldn't.

Like, oh my God, even Liz sees it. She's definitely hinting that if Flash doesn't snatch up Aria, she will.

And then my most FAVOURITE Flash/Aria scene... that truly solidifies that maybe possibly there's a chance for them??? MAYBE??

THAT BOY IS GETTING LAAAAAAAAAAAID ahem. Anyways.

I just, I really love this! It's spot-on with the fact that when Flash is really into someone, he's kind of awkward! But he's soooo sincere and Aria is SO into it. He's taking active interest in what she's into! He's pulling himself together! He's living again!

I want Flash/Aria to happen so badly like, you don't even know. I want them to go jogging in crop tops together. I want them watching birds and getting coffee and her giving him That Look fifteen more times. I want him to treat her RIGHT and for this to be his best relationship since Betty.

But mostly, I just want Aria to survive the next goddamn event.

ok ok I’ve been wanting to draw Aria for a while because I LOVE her design, but I was always so worried that I’d be depicting her wrong or you’d feel like I was taking your idea… but I saw you reblogged other ppl’s art of her so hopefully you’re ok with it???

Anyway I tried my hand at drawing her in an Arval-inspired outfit! Idk if it’s something she would wear but it was fun to draw haha

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

DUDE. MY DUDE. THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like, genuinely????? i will treasure this!!!!!!

don't be so worried about those things!!!! you being willing to draw her at all means the WORLD to me!!! she looks so cool it's such a neat outfit too omg <33333 the black outfit with her tattoos and the choker is SOOOOOO goodddddd soooo good colors........

thank you very very very very much!!!!!! i am going to cry it's so good <333333!!!!!

How about, for Luna and/or Clio: ☁️ - does your f/o like to travel? where are some faraway places they'd like to go with you someday? (Dragonsmooch)

Dragon, I’m going to be honest, I completely forgot that I had reblogged an ask game. So, thank you so much for sending this to me - it really means a lot!!

(source: “⭐ assorted selfship ask game! ⭐” by yuzuru-p)

☁️ - does your F/O like to travel? where are some faraway places they’d like to go with you someday? - I think this is a really fun question to compare Luna and Clio’s perspectives, so I will answer it for both of them, if that’s alright!

Luna is agoraphobic, as was stated by her game’s creator. As such, I don’t feel that she would like travelling very much, especially not by herself. She has been shown to travel around Reborn itself a bit - I think the furthest she goes from the castle is the Glass Workstation in maingame and the Citae Prisma (which I think you get to through the Beryl Ward?) in postgame - but the journeys she has made have largely been only out of necessity to go home, or are due to her following Shade’s guidance. With that said, what I have read about agoraphobia seems to indicate that those with it can feel more able to go places if with someone they trust, and so I like to think that my/Adriana’s presence can help ease her fears a bit.

The main far-flung place I envision us going together is the Hoenn region, because it’s safe to say we both need a nice holiday after everything that happens in Reborn is finally resolved. We would spend quite a bit of time there after the grand finale, because of Adriana wanting to try her hand at Contests while she’s visiting, and I think that Luna would enjoy watching those even if she didn’t want to participate. I also think Luna would enjoy visiting Ballonlea in Galar, as well as cities like Laverre in Kalos (which is where Adriana was born!), but these would probably be briefer visits!

Clio, on the other hand, enjoys travelling a lot more! As a Keyblade wielder, she’s used to going to other worlds to help those residing there, and try to combat threats from rising villains. She likes getting to experience what all these different worlds are like and what sorts of things can be found in them - and she can also adapt to new situations on her travels fairly well! (This trait is also one that ported well to Final Fantasy XIV when I made her in that game - to the point that her in-game guardian deity is Oschon, the Wanderer!)

As a result of all this, I think it would be quite common for her to want to explore lots of different places with me/Aria, especially given the wide variety of worlds that were explorable in the age of fairytales (as seen in KHUX). Some are quite similar to each other, such as the Castle of Dreams versus the Enchanted Dominion, but others are very different, such as Olympus Colosseum or Game Central Station - so, there’s always something to see and do! Especially since, when left to her own devices, Aria will have a tendency to spend a lot of time in other worlds anyway, instead of hanging around Daybreak Town. So, with Clio there alongside her, it becomes more of an exploration than a concealment.

I hope that these answers were alright for you, friend! Thank you so much again for sending in this question!!

Good news guys my mama loves me very much and is buying me a totk oled switch (which ive been planning on buying myself when I eventually get a job)

[aria0fgold]

The nickname "Sunshine" is so commonly used yet I never get tired of it cuz it's just so poetic in its own way, it can imply so many things and I love it so much. Just imagine...

You are warm like the sun, bright like its rays. You burn so intensely with a light that brings life yet you destroy yourself at the same time.

You are life yet you bring upon death. You are what keeps me alive yet you are what destroys me just as you do to yourself. But even then I stay, gazing upon you like a sunflower that cannot look away.

You are the sun, and I am Icarus captivated by your warmth, blinded by your light. My wings set ablaze upon your touch and even as I fall to my death, I still love you all the same.

How are you enjoying Mass Effect so far? Also do you play renegade or paragon?

(This reply ended up being a lot longer and gushy than the short witty one i had imagined answering with, but it just goes to show how much I love the game)

Im…on my third back-to-back playthrough. (I bought the trilogy A MONTH AGO)

Absolutely taken the spot of my top game thus far. It made me fall in love with scifi where i was sure i was a hardcore high fantasy girlie. I love the lore and the story.

For Artemis in particular i play mainly paragon but have several choice scenarios where i pick renegade, i love the roleplay aspect so whatever fits the type of character I play. [SPOILERY EXAMPLE BELOW)

(Eg: I always pick the most insulting choices for the Illusive Man, because 1) theyre fun, and 2) character wise Artemis hates Cerberus especially because of Akuze, AND 3) he gives her the BIGGEST ick)

[void-kissed]

My selfship with Aqua is about finding someone worth fitting in with and my selfship with Clio is about finding someone you don't have to fit in around

And yes I will elaborate (or try to, anyway)

[aria-greenhoodie]
