Random Neve x Bellara headcanons

The reason Neve hasn't had scurvy despite not having veggies for gods know how long is because Bel starts making sneaky veggies recipes. Neve can tell it's veggies (~50-60% accuracy) but eats it anyway (who can resist those big puppy eyes?). Probably threatens anyone on the team who dares telling Bel about the fact that she knows the bread dip has veggies in it.

Bel accidentally invents new poisoning methods while trying to find ways to sneak more veggies into Neve's meals. She doesn't realize she is now on both house Dellamorte and house de Riva' persons of interest list (Neve notices, but can't decipher why, yet).

Bel learns to triple the ingredients whenever they cook together, because while Bel is busy putting an extra kachapuri in an insulated container for Neve's desk, a certain cook assistant takes "a few" bites when the cheese bread is fresh out of the oven.

Bel documents the cases they solve together in a dedicated journal, probably writes it in the style of the serials she likes to read.

Neve starts inviting Bel on Shadow Dragon missions, in which Bel often hides behind Neve because of social anxiety (Dock Town is too crowded).

Bel invites Neve on her field experiments, to which Neve immediately joins because this hyper elf girl might bring the Lighthouse down (there have been close calls).

Neve begins to be more aware of how crazy her sleep schedule is, because Bel gets tired more easily, but still insists on helping. "Alright Bel we need to take a break", which will be met with Bel's high pitch groan about how close they are to solving the case (they are not). Now ironically Neve is the one keeping track of rest schedule and enforcing it.

Neve accidentally finds how hyper Bel gets with coffee after leaving her cup unattended (Bel is so focused on her research she doesn't see what cup she grabs and eventually crashes on Neve's desk.)

The first time Neve hears Bel swears, followed with an angry growl, gritted teeth, and murder stare is when the detective trips mid battle and almost loses her staff (don't worry Bel retrieves it).

The wisps "misplace" Bel's smut with Neve's spicy doodles and both awkwardly pretend they didn't see a thing.

BLOWS DUST OFF-HEY OKAGE BUDDIES WHATS YOUR OPINION ON A FAN SEQUEL? - SPECIFICALLY A COMIC?

Any way I’m working on a fan sequel that takes place 200 years after the original and I really wanted to go a female protag route because I felt like there’s something untapped in such a concept. And also a second legit over powered evil king as well

I’m hoping to get the soup and heart of the series, which it’s tongue and cheek pokes at jrpgs and the roles we play in such games and how I can we do a similar vibe when it comes to both sequels, how a new set of characters act when they have the pressures of the original cast on them and as well as how our new protag is with both our titular evil king and a new king as well. I’ll keep posting the process as I go on!!! Wish me luck!!!!

obviously the main appeal of sakuryou is funny detective partners but have you considered

Sakuya becoming estranged from the Le Bell family to become a musician like in his ending, but having to work a customer service job to make ends meet. And immediately gaining 100x more respect for Ryouta and apologizing for every classist thing he's ever said because "this is what you've had to live with? You work MULTIPLE of these jobs?"

i finished posting all the ask game post and genuinely. floored. by how many people were kind enough to send something. i love you my little phone friends.

Also

I'm going to step away from the selfship community for a while other than doing commissions for everyone. Not forever, but everything feels so overwhelming at the moment. I'm not going to stop selfshipping obviously, and I'll still interact with the friends I've made in the community.

I want to selfship for fun and do it to relieve stress, but sometimes things can get so... hissy and finicky, like an ornery pit viper.

I might not tag my drawings as "selfship" or "selfship community" for a while (or I may forget and just tag those on autopilot because I'm so used to doing that)

Plus I'll mainly just be focusing on the fun fairytale au and pixieverse au for a while

However, I am working on the epilogue for Sugar Crash Void Bash, but that's going to take a little while.

Plus, I've been considering trying out another social media site alongside this one. I might do that, keyword being might. I'll let you all know what my username would be too.

It might be some variation of "Sapphire Heart Tippy", or it might have something involving the word "pixie" in it. But I'll make a post and let you all know, "hey, this is my username for blorfidybloop dot com" if I decide to make a new social media account.

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.

i love having an increasingly incomprehensible and massive oc lore that i never talk about on here except in like tiny jokes like. Ha! They don't know about Quinn and Rodger! They don't know about Aleks Ev Ed pathos and Bel's insane family situation! Anyways the like 3 people here who have read otf and/or have been friends with me long enough for me to spout brain gunk at them have access to a whole new level of Len bullshit that you probably don't....

Does anyone else ever get this urge to twirl a knife in public? Like, I would definitely cut myself ten times and probably stab at least (1) limb. Plus I would get arrested.

But.

Twirly knife *dreamy sigh*

I think it's okay if Draken and Mitsuya want to live a boring life. Just them trying to navigate their way through adulthood, experiencing things that seem dull & uninteresting. As long as they're going through it together, everything doesn't need to be extraordinary or anything.

The most important thing is how to find beauty in those little boring life. How to make the ordinary become extraordinary. And I'm confident to say that they're always gonna find the wonder of everything ♡

Tarot Reading in Bel Air ~Kuuhaku no Shunkan no Naka de~ de l'image

As a cartomancy person, I was a little itchy as well as curious about the rest of the reading in the movie, beyond the one focused-upon card; perhaps more so because, well. . . It's not exactly easy to guess at while watching, thanks to the picture quality.

I only dug into it more myself when I got tempted to write a fic - because it's always Death that's the dramatic warning card in media, always, and I get so tired, and I wanted to poke fun at that by having someone in a fic interpret the reading correctly. >.>

This is probably of interest to few other people, but I figured I'd share!

So, here's the reading from the movie:

(The card not yet turned over there is, of course, Death.)

All of them but Death are rather unclear, obviously, but the deck is the Medieval Scapini (thanks to @koilungfish who turned it up for me!), and with that my guessing from the blurry film upgraded to being able to actually identify them! (I had 4/5 correct initially; kind of proud of that. XD)

They are:

1: The Empress (inverted) 2: La Papesse (High Priestess) (inverted) 3: The Four of Pentacles (inverted) 4: Force (Strength) (inverted) 5: The Queen of Cups (inverted) 6: Death

Five out of six cards being inverted (upside-down) is certainly . . . something; can also mean things in general are blocked or similar.

Now I can't necessarily interpret the reading properly - I have no idea what the layout is supposed to be (this may surprise you, but dotting blood on a reading mat is not actually part of any spread I know XP), what each position is meant to represent and how they interact, but I can go over each card's meanings, and that's what I've put together.

1: The Empress (inverted)

dependence/lack of self-reliance, smothering others, someone else draining too much of your energy, infertility, creative block or exhaustion, financial issues, domestic strife

2: La Papesse (The High Priestess) (inverted)

losing your inner voice or your connection to your true self, uncertainty, secrets, repressed feelings, withheld information, feeling uncentred/ungrounded, you may need help (or to focus yourself) on your own thoughts/feelings/intuition

3: Four of Coins/Pentacles (inverted)

you've been too materialistic, greed, overspending, stinginess, spendthrift behaviour, you may be stingy with emotions as well as material possessions, finding it difficult to trust, possessiveness, all driven by fear of losing what you've worked hard for, and thus not thought through clearly

4: Force (Strength) (inverted)

weakness, self-doubt, insecurity, jealousy, being out of balance, failing to accept all sides of yourself, mood swings and unpredictable shifts in thought, fear to allow vulnerabilities leading to deeper weaknesses, may display as misplaced aggression and lashing out

5: Queen of Cups (inverted)

insecurity, dependence, martyrdom (throwing oneself into), self-care, your emotions may be getting the better of you (you need to control them, not the other way around), you need to focus on caring for yourself, spiritually and physically, before expending so much in caring for others, don't sacrifice yourself in the name of care

6: Death

change (often of the that bridge burned behind me type of irrevocable), transformation, end of a cycle, new beginnings, cycles, change is incoming, a new phase in your life, you may need to let go of things (including uncertainty) to move forwards/start anew

I note a lot of insecurity, dependence/clinginess, and not focusing on the self, as well as change - both needed and coming (ready or not). . .

Who knows, perhaps I'll do more cartomancy meta breakdowns like this, when next I see one of those media with a tarot reading that makes me sigh or roll my eyes!
