Hi! This is my first fanart posted here and I'm pretty nervous, but ever since I read @hao-and-yoh's fic I couldn't get this scene out of my head. @hao-and-yoh - I hope you like it :3

The characters belong to Hiroyuki Takei. The story belongs to @hao-and-yoh and you can find it here.

Shaman King 2001: Hao & Yoh

[saving-empress-ac]

It's just nostalgic and peaceful to watch these two converse casually. It's like making up for lost time, time when they should have bonded and grown up together instead of being front soldiers in a war.

A few weeks late but welcome back, Asakura Twins, Hao and Yoh. 🤗

Hao is so funny, I swear, what main villian has an introduction like this. He's so scary and evil and over powered and this is right after they first meet him. He's so funny 🤣 One of my fav moments for sure. Yoh just waving back sends me 😆

Shaman King Vol 9

[Riku is at the park with his sister, when he sees Taro sitting on a bench.]

Riku: Oh, hey Taro! What are you doing here?

Taro: I just spending some time off with the twins, While R/n and Tregear are at work.

[The twins run up to their step-dad (Their names are Chika and Kaito.).]

Chika: Daddy, we gonna go get a drink. {points at drinking fountain/bubbler.]

Taro: Alright go for it.

Riku: Isn’t that fountain little tall for them?

Taro: It’s fine, just watch.

[They watch the twins stare at the fountain for a few seconds, before Kaito gets on all fours and lets his sister climb onto his back so she can reach the fountain, when Chika is done she does the same so her brother can also get a drink, they run back to Taro who high-fives them.]

Taro: That was some good teamwork you two!

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

[The twins call Taro 'daddy' and Tregear 'papa', R/n is mommy obviously.

As for the relationship with their older brother Taiga. He loves them to bits; even though he was adamant at first that he was going to hate them. Cos: "They're Tregear's kids..." but that all went away once Taro convinced him to hold them Taiga's heart melted and now spends his time playing with or spoiling the crap out of his younger siblings whenever he comes to visit. ]

While I was making my post yesterday about Yoh and Anna, I wanted to try and get a better photo of the panel I used for adult Yoh and Anna and....

This is very on brand Hao.

Self inserting himself into everything like the petty God he is.

[hao-and-yoh]

Yeah I started writing here in the reblog but my fanfiction writing style kicked in and I had to reply in a different way. Here.

Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For @hao-and-yoh

I told you I cannot ever be allowed in FD, it would not end well - now you have written proof (I am so sorry)

Warnings: angst, hurt/comfort(?), self-injury, not compliant with main/alt FD timeline

(Please check out @hao-and-yoh 's Fractured Duality, it's magnificent!!)

Yoh sat on the bench, the hum of the ice machine nearby keeping him company as the model's neon flickered on and off irregularly, and let out a long, long sigh.

This wasn't supposed to go this way.

Their adventure in the western desert was supposed to be exactly that - an adventure!

They were going to enjoy each other's company, find his friends, get the gang all together and have a generally nice time in this reality, one made especially for them.

So why…

Why had it gone so wrong?

He let his head bump against the wall behind him.

Hao had been acting a bit strange lately, the lapses of memory and occasional disorientation spell coming out of nowhere, but he wouldn't have ever guessed that there had been something masquerading as his brother right in front of him and he wouldn't have the slightest clue.

Hell, when they had a moment to themselves as they got into this motel room - paid by Ren, a fact they were reminded quite often - if his twin wouldn't have let it slip about the many worries and self-deprecating remarks that seemed to be going around his mind, he wouldn't have demanded they dug deeper.

He wouldn't have learned about Zeke.

Hao tried to calm him down, at first; he had explained the sense of peace that the other presence had given him, how much clarity had he gained about his deficiencies - he needed to be aware of his faults and limitations, what he was responsible for, really, there was nothing untrue being said-

Yoh thought otherwise.

Nothing that made his brother feel like this - think of himself like this - could be truly friendly.

He dragged out of Hao everything he could: he learned about the loss of time, the lack of memories that seemed to have shaped his twin's interactions with others without his knowledge, the blasted yellow pager getting lost despite knowing he had it on…

As they went on, he could see that Hao was starting to find the holes in his self-normalised deception; his expression began to fall before his eyes widened as he rejected the whispers inside his head aloud, leading to Yoh having to hold him down until he calmed down - enough so that he could tell his younger brother more about that presence, one to even have its own name.

The most startling was the revelation that the reflections seemed to be the triggers - while his twin had no memories of what happened when he wasn't in control of his body, he could only suspect something else had to take the lead, or his loss of consciousness would have been much easier to spot by anyone.

That someone had to know him well - had to know what he was, what he did, what he could do - and was clearly familiar with information only they and the King knew.

Since there was only one possible culprit at hand…

Yoh really wanted to be wrong, to give Hao a reassurance, but if he did so, he would have lied to himself just like his twin was up till now.

How many times had he spoken to the imposter thinking it was his dearest brother, though? 

Hao's story made it sound much too often…

The conversation left them both drained; for Yoh it was because he had to process so much information on top of the mess they were already in, and for Hao…

The unveiling of the depth of his willing ignorance of all the warning signs was a massive blow to his already weakened psyche.

Yoh urged him to try to sleep, to try to tackle it again after some rest - to which his brother only laughed at him hysterically.

Dreams weren't safe anymore.

He wasn't safe anywhere.

Neither of them was safe, now that he suspected Zeke - it would take one lapse and the other could show his true colors, knowing that the cover had been blown.

Yoh didn't know what to do, honestly: his brother had to sleep from time to time or he would go mad, which would not be helpful; they had no idea where did the intruder come from nor how intertwined he was into Hao's mind. 

By backtracking through the few memories his brother had, he could see warning signs in Zeke now that he allowed himself to look without the filter of the love for his sibling; the flashes of cruelty, the confidence that went above the one Hao had intrinsically, the willingness to lie to them both in the face…

He needed to get some air.

He offered the same to his brother, but Hao had rejected the option, curling down on the bed.

“I'm going to think here,” his older twin explained, looking at the wall intently, but when he turned with his shoulders dropping towards the door, he looked back and offered a soft smile, attempting a cheer.

“Take all the time you need - I'm sure it will all sort itself out anyway in the end.” 

Yoh smiled back, as usual at those words, and promised to be back soon.

It's been a while now.

He was nowhere closer to finding a way, but he would ask his friends for help - in the meantime he would need to guard his brother in his sleep, to make sure Zeke does not get out when they're not looking…

He got up from the bench.

That was enough moping - he had a twin that needed him right now.

“Hao?” he called out, knocking on the door as not to startle the other with his sudden entrance, but when there was no answer he decided to apologize later; when he pulled on the handle, the unoiled hinges creaked as the door opened, revealing dark room lit by the bright light coming from the ensuite bathroom.

Did he forget to turn off the light?

Actually… had he turned the lights off when he left the room?

Odd…

Yoh went inside, looking for signs of his brother among the mess on the bed and the floor, but nothing looked to be the right shape in the shadows, so he kept on walking until his hand fell beside the light switch. “Is everything okay?” he asked, before he peeked inside.

His twin was standing in front of the sink mirror, one hand gripping on the edges of the ceramic tightly, face obscured by his long hair, but at the sound of another voice he looked around, smiling.

“Look, Yoh,” his brother said, lowering his other hand from his head, blood staining his arm, “he won't be able to deceive us anymore.”

Yoh needed a couple of seconds to truly take in what he was seeing, but the moment he did, he rushed in, assessing the damage.

Hao had blood all over himself, the deep red under his fingernails spreading to the wrist like ink, but Yoh focused more on his face - or rather, his eyes.

The eyes that sparkled with emotion whenever his brother was excited.

The eyes that looked at him with fondness and adoration.

The eyes that rolled when Hao huffed at a particularly bad joke he had made.

Those eyes… 

Those beautiful, familiar eyes…

They were gone.

“Hao, what have you done?” he whispered, tracing over the edges of the still bleeding sockets, the tears clogging up his throat as Hao leaned into the touch, nuzzling against his palm.

“What good is a reflection without eyes to see it?” his brother replied with satisfaction, a cheeky grin on his lips, but when Yoh let out a sob he reached back, using the hand on his cheek as a guidance to place his own on his twin's face, the other blindly, hesitantly landing on the side of the other's neck.

“It's alright, Yoh, it's alright,” he assured, sliding the palm down to squeeze on the shoulder instead, but his gentle words fell on deaf ears as his younger twin leaned away, hands falling away as he dug nails deep into his skin in hopeless anger.

“How is it alright?!” Yoh cried out, the frustration making him shake; yet, when he saw Hao try to find him again, fingers missing him narrowly, movements uncharacteristically graceless, he didn't wait to join their hands again.

When his brother leaned forward, he mirrored him at once, foreheads touching as they slid to the floor.

“I did it to myself, didn't I?” Hao's soft voice rang across the tiny bathroom, his hair falling around him like curtains, cutting them both from the rest of the world. “I did it for us…”

In this little cocoon of safety, the cold of the tiles didn't seem to reach Yoh; longing to be closer, he slid their foreheads apart as he looped his arms around his brother's torso, burying himself in the nook of his neck.

“We could have found a way…” he mumbled, the warmth of his twin's body helping to begin to ground him, leading him away from the bitterness that threatened to take over.

A touch on his back made him squeeze his arms, tightening the hug, while his brother's soothing voice hummed along the circles he was rubbing with his bloody hand.

Right now, Yoh didn't care about the stains.

“Maybe we could,” Hao began to list, “maybe we couldn't have,” he added, a twinge of sadness soon turning into that of anxiety, “maybe the way out would have shown itself after he's already hurt you and our friends-”

He stopped, both words and motions ceasing; Yoh felt the chest below him expand as his twin took in a deep breath, and the hand on his back moved to his hair, tousling it gently.

“I couldn't take this risk,” Hao murmured, pulling him closer, halfway onto his lap, “not when I could have prevented it at a small cost.”

Yoh bit his own lip, crushing the complaints of the universe's unfairness when it came to his older brother; he wouldn't undo Hao's sacrifice, he had to acknowledge it without belittling the end result - but by the stars, it was breaking his heart.

“This wasn't a small cost.”

A chuckle made it out of the other's ribcage, shaking him a little; the arms that cradled him moved him up, the long hair tickling him as he was shifted.

A moment later, he sat with his back pressed firmly against his brother's chest, Hao's breath tickling him as his twin laid his chin down by his neck.

“For you? I would've done it over and over again,” came the late reply, accompanied by two arms moving to loop around his chest this time around.

He looked down, Hao's fingers suddenly looking more vulnerable than ever, despite still being covered in the rusty twinges of blood, and placed his own hand on top of them, sighing in resignation.

“Please, don't scare me like that again,” Yoh pleaded quietly, the futility of this request already apparent to him, and, judging by the twitch of these thin digits, Hao knew it too.

Still, right now, he just needed to hear those words.

He closed his eyes, trying to not think how he most likely would never get to see his brother's again.

Hao had bought them time.

They could fix it.

They would find a way.

It would all work itself out in the end.

He repeated that to himself as the embrace around him tightened, and, unbeknownst to him, a cruel smirk stretched itself on the other boy's mutilated face.

“I promise,” Zeke purred into his ear, the lie sliding off his tongue with ease as he held this fake Yoh close, delighted in hearing his little disgustingly positive mantra.

It really did work itself out in the end for him, didn't it?

It will always and forever be special to me how Yoh now calls Hao as nii-chan. 🥺 I bet he really wanted to do it all the time they had to go against each other during the Shaman Fight.

Little me's blueprints.....

[jhzhuxx]

a thought:

yoh and ren's relationship feels the healthiest and realistic because there is conflict and disagreement at times that is worked out through a blanket sense of knowing each other but also explicitly discussing and communicating thoughts and concerns when needed

idk man you can't convince me that anna just knows what yoh's thinking all the time every time without shit being said, i feel less and less understanding of the relationship between yoh and anna the more i look at it someone else explain to me maybe

[homoerotic-shonen-rival-showdown]

in honour of numerous things always happening on may 12th, semifinals will be out noon EST tomorrow

I streamlined the formatting to no longer include in post propaganda so setup would be faster, and also because our top 4 are all pretty well known. just letting you all know

this round will be your last chance to get contestants in the Loser's Box, which is still at 3 contestants. the Loser's Box free for all will still be coming out concurrently with finals

and again everyone be nice in my notes about contestants and matchups, doubt I'll get the same level of annoyance this round but I still wanna say it
