I’m glad Squalo was as prominent as he was in khr. He wasn’t the leader of the varia yet we still get so much with him as a person when it comes to that group. He’s like a side character Amano actually loved a little too much , he gets to drive/kickstart so much of the Varias involvement. Honestly Squalo is a little gem and a great looking glass into that group and the vingola as a whole imo.

Also just had a passing thought but would it be fair to say he’s oddly more aligned with the Vongola and a better representation of that family than reborn? (Out of the characters we see that is) They keep reborn a mystery bc idk the whole arco stuff but Squalo kind of has his roots there as we come to learn.

It's Christmas Eve, so here's my take on the holidays at the Varia:

It is a week long (24-31) celebration that starts with a feast where everyone contributes with their traditional dishes. People in the Varia come from all over the world, and usually there is a team-up of people from the same places gathering to cook togheter, no matter the units they are assigned to.

And I HC Lussuria as being from Emilia-Romagna, where tortellini in brodo are a must.

She forces has the other guardians helping her in making them from scratch.

The process lasts basically the entire Eve:

Lussuria does the filling and broth alone ("Oh honeys, I can't have you possibly screw that up!!") and makes pasta dough with the help of squalo.

Levi and Squalo make the pasta sheets. Levi only turns the crank of the machine ("VOOII!! You're not touching any food, with those dirty hands"), while Squalo minds the pasta. Lussuria is forever sad that she cannot make the pasta sheet herself with only the rolling pin, the traditional way. Unfortunately the dough is way too much and she's not as skilled as her mother was.

Lastly, Bel (and later Fran too) make the actual tortellini (under strict supervision). They are the ones with the smaller hands, after all.

Lastly, Xanxus does actually nothing for the tortellini, but he does buy the wine for everyone for the entire celebration. Crlebration which does last a week and requires enormous amounts of alcohol to keep 100+ people drunk and entertained. This means that not only it takes like 3 months to organise all the purchases and shipping of booze, but also that there are around Italy at least 4 winemakers that rely on Xanxus and the Varia to survive and sell ¾ of their yearly production in one go.

Also, since Xanxus has become is the best boss they can all ask for, he prepares the first drink for anyone that asks during the Eve's aperitivo. He's actually a very good bartender.

The party goes on for one week straight, with basically everyone drunk out of their minds. The most memorable things that happen are usually actually completely forgotten, at most only some photos survive.

Usually there is also at least one dead, but no one ever minds it too much. They probably deserved it.

Then the new year begins with the hard task of sobering up. The hangover officially lasts until Befana.

Many swear not to drink ever again ever in their life, only to do the exact same the next year.

December Belphegor Redraw 4 of 31!  

I absolutely love the dynamic and chaotic movement of Bel just bursting out of the billowing black clouds of smoke from Gokudera's bombs. But like, I think it's objectively hilarious the this is like just before they start talking about "Ah yes, now his TRUE strategic genius shows" and it's like. With movement like this he feels about as strategic as a feral racoon I'd find in my backyard. Like look at this pose and TELL me the strategy here. He is just ZOOMING. Of course after they specify it he actually starts using his strategic attacks that aren't just. I'm going to stab you directly, but like what a way to start this. You sure could have had me fooled! Though... Maybe that was strategy in itself who knooooows~

The Image I redrew is under the cut, just to keep the post small.

I wish they'd make some Varia merch that has them wearing their flame colours. Yellow just isn't it for Bel, but you know what colour does suit him? RED

the way bel found a family that actually loves him, despite how they may all act on the outside, while rasiel was met with individuals who would let him be eliminated for their ends in a heartbeat. say what you want about varia not caring for each other, they don't actually feel that way. they have each other's back in the end. xanxus is there to kill rasiel when bel couldn't. he did not do it for bel's sake, but he was actually there to follow up on the havoc rasiel was raining down. rasiel? rasiel had no one to fall back on. not a soul was going to help him against xanxus' wrath.

after being introduced to rasiel and having him reveal how much he belittled bel, how he was allegedly constantly rubbing in his face that he was better than him, it's beautiful karma to see bel not being alone anymore. he's not the 8 year old kid that had no one to rely on except himself. he has a family.

what's especially heart wrenching about knowing their backstory properly is that you find out why bel acts the way he does. suddenly, we are told that rasiel's treatment of him is the source of so much of what makes up bel as a person. it clicks. i still most often see people thinking of bel as conceited, but i really don't see that. not with the context of him looking completely blank when rasiel says that he was always better, no smile, no retort.

when bel lets down his guard with lussuria in the manga interview, he is extremely dismissive throughout. he is in no way excited to talk about himself. he even says that he doesn't want to stand out too much at the end section of one of the volumes where characters comment on fanart. this kind of humble comment doesn't exactly fit the way people around him tend to view his vanity. bel's desperation while fighting as soon as he bleeds also seems like...more than just flashbacks to that fateful night that he killed rasiel. it's like the inferiority complex he must have built up kicking in, he has to win, he has to get validation that he can win. he can't keep losing like he did repeatedly to rasiel in the past. again, i have to emphasize that rasiel says that bel was always worse than him and bel does not speak out. the one who everyone would see as egotistical does not say a word to defend himself. just silence. not even a hint of annoyance. this all sounds like i'm just taking things from canon and making a headcanon through that (which is fine), but then you realize that bel's only dislike listed on his "vongola 77" character page is himself. bel calling himself a genius & making his royalty a statement is sometimes simply just for mischief, a funny excuse he likes to throw around, and other times a cover. maybe a few times, he actually believes it. when he succeeds.

on the other hand, rasiel fully believes that he is better than everyone else. i have no doubt about that. even when bel won once, he still thinks bel is inferior. that bel is trash in comparison to himself. but in the end, he got destroyed by bel's boss who labels *him* trash. throwing that straight at his ego.

So one idea i will properly write out has just been going in my head and turning in there like a marinated rotissery chicken. However its p gory and gruesome and so i aill put it under a read more

So once again it has to do with my babes the unseen varia. In fact its about Lorenzo and what shit Bel put him through. This happens p shortly after he joined maybe a year or half a year befoee the ring battles. So he is around 17-18.

Lorenzo even as a new recruit showed himself to be formidable. He is quick on his feet, incredibly competent and confident to boot. The boy already shows that he will go far in the organisation and even manages to make some pals in he storm division.

And of course that is something that Belphegor does not particularly like. At first he didnt think much about it. Its just another guy under his command. But then he shows incredible leadership skills when a mission goes a tad bit awry. Even Squalo mentions how he is impressed and that doesnt happen often.

Belphegor isnt in any form threatened by Lor as a fighter. He believes himself to still be vastly superior. But Lorenzo does work. He does the boring and tedious paoerwork, he cares for his coworkers and the teams he is in, he just does the things that Belphegor refuses or just doesnt WANT to do. Bel is lazy. He only does what he wants to do in the way he wants to do it. And ir has been a headache to others. and before Lorenzo this wasn't an issue. Bel was the most capable storm they had! But just a year ago two new recruirs joined. Sergey and Leonard. And Leo was clearly stronger physifally than Lussuria or Levi. However the reason he wasn't instantly promoted was because he was just not very capable as a leader. Levi was still the best for the position of their lightning guardian, no matter if Leo was physically stronger or not.

So if there comes a guy, who is not just strong in his own right, but also capable of being in a leadership position-- that's when things get a bit tricky for Bel. But its not like he has no ways of keeping his men in line. Or himself entertained.

So for a week he puts harsh pressure and psychological drwad onto one of his storms that Lorenzo is getting along with quite well. Bel doesnt even remember the guys name but he makes him aware of how death is right around the corner. Or even something worse. The storm division is not a daycare after all and Bel has his moods. If he doesnt keep up the good work to Bels satisfaction, he might become a bit of target practise. And it breaks the poor guy. The absolute existential fear sets into his bones. That is exactly what Bel wanted.

So one day he asks Lorenzo and that guy to a more secluded area of the yard. He doesnt notice Leo coming by by accident on his break. He looks at his two guys and snickers before he explains himself.

He is bored. And he wants to test them both. Ya know? Just for funsies~.

Lorenzo doesnt know what to do at first but rhen he actually defies Bel.

"Sir, I don't think having your men engage in spontaneous murder of each other is such a good i--"

But he doesnt even get to finish as he quickly dodges an attack from the other. He tries to calm his friend down but the other is out of it, completely taken by panic nd a need for survival that he lunges at Lorenzo and it comes to a fight between them. Lorenzo tries all he can to incapacitate the other so the fight ends more or less painless, but Bel is in the guys head, spurring him on, through a whole week of manipulation. And it comes as it has to evenrually.

The young man lunges again at Lorenzo, who keeps his knife up in defense and just feels metal hit leather and then flesh as blood drips onto Lorenzo. He is on his back with the body growing limp on top of him. Lorenzo manages to push the body off of him, pulling the knife out in the process and breathing heavily as he comes down from the adrenalin rush. His body is shaking and he needs a moment before his eyes fall onto his former friend. He checks hos pulse.

...

....

.....

Nothing.

He's dead.

The realisation hits Lorenzo like a truck and he barely hears the slow clapping of hands before the voice he comes to hate most rings in his ears.

"Good job~!" he hears in emglish before its follow up in italian

"Looks like the newbie got some actual skill!"

Lorenzo is frozen in place.

Its not like he has never killed anyone. Far from it. But the thought rhat his superior just for shira and giggles had them fight to the death?

He can feel a hand on his shoulder and a squeeze, more menacing than comforting.

"Just so you know: I will always be on top, shishishi~... If you as much as think of dethroning me, I will annihilate you~"

He lifts himself up ahain, snickering, hands in his pockets and shoots Leo a glance who jolts together. Bel lays a finger against his lips as a silent threat and then leaves.

This incidents shakes Lorenzo, but ita not enough to truly break his resolve. That comes at another point. During a mission of which he is the leader, the mission gos awry because one of their newest recruits, a young 16 year old boys nerves colapse. He wants to leave, no money in the world is worth this stress and torrure. Lorenzo has pity on the young storm. He has been there 3 days only, he barely made it in and shouldnt even be on mission yet. He wants to go back to his family, he shakes and cries. So Lorenzo promises him to take the fall and get him out of there.

But Bel cultivates an atmosphere of betrayal. Another storm snitches to Belphegor what happened, for some favor points with the storm officer and the young boy gets stabbed in the kidney and thrown onto the streets. Can't have any of his men fail at missions after all~

And Lorenzo snaps. He manages to track down whoever snitched on them and beats him to a pulp until the guy begs for Lorenzo to stop. But by then its too late. He kills the man. And at that point realizes that he has already lost to Belphegors mind games. He can not make friends. He can not trust anyone. He HAS to be alone to make sure nobody else gets dragged into their power struggle.

Nobody outside of the storm dicision teuly knows the extend of Belphegors torture and manipulation. The division is a bunch of egocentric maniacs out for their own gain, because teamwork never pays out. They betray each other constantly and are put in small batrles against each other for Bels own amusement. People are killed off for just being annoying or in the way. Nobody helps each other.

It gives the storm division a bad reputation and puts Lorenzo under constant stress that nobody else understands, just because he believes he has to prove that he can still rise to the rop without giving into these stupid games, even though he has already lost to them.

It's a battle he can not win.

But he will be damned if he doesnt try.

∆ OVER HERE ∆ - sender grabs receiver’s hand to grab their attention. ( fran )

Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| @dyingresolve

Haru momentarily flinches and almost pulls her hand away when Fran grabs her hand to get her attention. She didn't like being touched, so it certainly got her attention.

If anything, Haru had a soft spot for those younger than her, and that was the sole saving grace that kept Fran safe from getting smacked.

She then realizes that she must've been spacing out, not paying attention to her surroundings, so he tried grabbing her attention in any way that he could.

"Sorry about that, Fran. I spaced out," like a space cadet. "I lost myself in my thoughts, but i'm here now. What's up?"

Posso lamentarmi? Mi lamento: per descrivervi quanto sia ridicola ormai la situazione agricola Italiana vi voglio raccontare questa cosa. In questi ultimi anni ho dismesso tutte le coltivazioni (causa zero ricavi) orzo, grano, farro, lenticchie, per citarne alcune, ormai tutta rimessa sotto ai 100 ettari e mi sono concentrato sugli olivi, ogni tanto però faccio qualche prodotto su richiesta specifica o per qualche amico. In questo caso ho fatto delle balle di fieno per un amico, un fieno di prato misto dove ci sono varie essenze tra cui l'erba medica, il trifoglio, il loietto, l'avena, ecc ecc... insomma tutte quelle varieta di specie erbacee che fanno i prati di montagna colorati per cui tutti impazziscono (Tipo la fioritura di Castelluccio). Bene vi ho già annoiato? Lo capisco, ma aspettate tanto è caldo e non si può fare niente a quest'ora a parte leggere. Allora per essere breve, il processo del fieno è abbastanza semplice, si taglia, si fa asciugare un giorno o due (in questa stagione) si gira, si ranghina, ovvero si mette tutto insieme in file per poi pressarlo con l'apposita macchina attaccata al trattore che fa le balle che possono essere di varia forma densità e misura a seconda poi delle bestie che andrà a nutrire. Ecco capite che è un bel dispendio di tempo e gasolio fare questi passaggi senza contare le macchine che ormai sono costosissime e senza contare che il mercato ormai richiede un prodotto perfetto, per perfetto intendo che se becca una piovuta non vale più niente. Ok fino a qui ci siete? Ora viene il bello, una di quelle balle cilindriche dove tutti si fanno le foto Instagrammabili pesa all'incirca 4 quintali e il fieno quest' anno viene pagato 4 euro al quintale, 4x4=16 euro per una balla, bene, sapete quanto costa la rete per legare la balla (che è quella che fa si che il fieno stia lì tutto bello pressato) ?????

20 euro.

Per concludere, 4 euro di rimessa a balla, senza considerare il gasolio per tutti i passaggi che vi ho descritto e senza considerare che il fieno lì non ce l'ha messo il buon dio ma ci è stato seminato con altrettanti passaggi che vi evito per non essere ancora più prolisso

Let’s talk about how Lussuria’s queerness is discussed in Japanese!

It’s no big secret that Lussuria is not…great…representation, but he is iconic for much of the queer audience, and in KHR’s heyday he was popular-ish with Japanese girls as “the gay best friend character.” Here are some ways used to describe Luss’ queer identity:

“ルス姉さん” (Luss nee-san) - Big sis Luss. Subordinates call her this in the future arc.

“変態” (Hentai) - you know this one, pervert.

“オカマ” (Okama) - slur for AMAB queer people, sometimes reclaimed by queer people but used offensively in KHR. Used by Bel, Fran, Squalo, and even the narrator! It’s comparable to the f-slur or t-slur, Luss does not like being called it.

Luss’ way of speaking is very feminine, lots of “あらぁ~♡” (Ara~~) and stressed vowels.

Luss calls himself the “お母さん” (okaa-san, mother) and “ママ” (mama, mommy) of the Varia in special segments.

Luss’ nickname for Squalo, “スクちゃん” (Squ-chan) is extremely feminine, something only a mother or close female friend would say. Like it’s ridiculous Squalo lets her say this, it’s a little boy nickname 😭

In a mini comic extra, the narrator isn’t sure whether to call them “he” or “she.”

One of my favorite bits on “オカマ” (Okama) is when the Varia try to get Fran from the present and are wearing their every day clothes. Bel says that Fran won’t like Luss’ perverted okama clothes, and then Luss angrily says that it doesn’t matter what Fran thinks about them.
