GOT MY BLORBOS TOGETHER‼️

So, Snehan being half-human half-vampire has a ton of allergies that affects them throughout the day and their partner, Squalo finds their sneezes (and al the mess) so attractive one day... unique as much 'cause he's a Shark, they don't sneeze neither (barely) get sick and such. The frequency of Snehan's sneezes started to sound like music to Squalo's big ears eventually so yeah, he's one of us snzfvkers fellas!

thanks a LOT again again and again to @roguesnezblog for making this commission (and one of my fav scenarios w them too) come to life!!! Support her in any way you can too ♡

Battle of the Gingers Bracket C Round 1

Doric (Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) vs Squalo (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)

[kari-izumi]

I would like to thank the entire J/C Photoshop community (/pos) and Google's dogshit search engine (/neg) for making it impossible to find an actual screen from Voyager for the purpose of this shitpost but fuck it, Prodigy deserves the hype anyway and my brain was not going to leave me alone until I made this very called for JoJo reference

(For more context since there's no overlap in these fandoms, Tiziano and Squalo are two villains from Part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and they spend the entire two episodes they appear in Like That™

When manga artist Hikohiro Araki when asked about if these two are a couple, goes "LOL no 🙃 why did anyone think that?" Which...it's Japan, and it absolutely reads like bullshit that his edits made him say but considering *waves hand* everything BTS about J/C, the parallel is even more hilarious)

[samaeljigoku]

Is Squalo a more unpopular character than I thought? I've made or seen at least 2 or 3 polls where he came in last, after Carne, who I like but has no speaking lines at all. I'm a little baffled. Jealousy that he has Tiziano as a boyfriend is the only reason that makes sense, lol.

[rebornologist]

Hello~ may I request the dirty talk headcanons for Dino, Hibari and Xanxus? Thanks in advance♡

Squalo is a bonus bc I think someone dropped an ask including him in my inbox and I banished it...... alas, might as well bc the rest of the characters overlapped w/ this ask. Thank you for asking me to write the most embarrassing blocks of text in my LIFE

♡ Dirty Talk w/ Dino, Hibari, Squalo, & Xanxus ✧

warnings: nasty. nsf/t. I genuinely get so embarrassed writing these bc nah wtf is this. breeding. swearing. praise. degradation. D/s dynamics. Xanxus is rude as hell.

✧ Dino Cavallone

He’s a sweetheart through and through pleaseeee he is very well-mannered, would never engage in any kind of degradation, only has the sweetest praises, and has an interesting.. thing about cum.

“Nngh.. haahh.. baby please, you’re gonna make me cum if you don’t stop-fuck!” His chest heaves, breathing ragged as he tenses, throwing his head back and squeezing his eyes shut as his orgasm crashes over him. He’s left panting, legs feeling wobbly, and seeing stars in the edges of his vision as he cups your face and leans in for the sweetest kiss.

୨୧ ⁺˳₊

“Tell me how much you want it.. how much you want my cum.. how you want me to put a baby in you, pleasepleaseplease yesyesyes,” he picks up the pace slightly as he chases that high, firmly rutting them into you, deep and unrelenting, as if he was actually trying to achieve what he was babbling about. He buries his face into the crook of your neck, letting out a breathy whine as he scrambles to unwrap your legs from around his waist. His hips stutter as he moves to hook his arms under your legs and push your knees down into a mating press. He wants nothing more in that moment than to ensure that he spills himself as deep in you as he can, because he likes to keep his promises, of course.

✧ Hibari Kyoya

I am biased b/c my favourite take on Hibari (next to acearo Hibari) is the one who’s secretly a service top in disguise. One who shows tough love, but has mellowed out with age and is fairly domestic (though still quite icy) at the end of the day. Taking his affinity for the small, often overlooked, but resourceful creatures, and extending that to what he likes in his partners. Something about being called, “little one”, by him... drools.

He often takes on quite the authoritative tone, and it’s literally the sexiest thing I’m sosorry y’all. Hibari is initially not as talkative, fairly quiet during sex, aside from giving instructions, and some small comments and mostly matter-of-fact statements. He can and will be convinced to include more praise and/or degradation in the bedroom, though it confuses him at first. He doesn’t understand why his partner would want him to purposefully shit talk them, and he was sure that he praises them enough, straightforwardly, when appropriate. It finally clicks when he sees how they absolutely melt for a simple “good pet,” or how they tense and squirm for him when he calls them a “pathetic hole, so desperate to be filled.”

“Patience, dove..” He mumbles, barely above a whisper, as he finishes tying off the last of the restraints. You’re already leaking and dripping down your thighs for him in the build up, the anticipation swimming laps in the pit of your stomach. The way he speaks as if nothing’s happened just makes you ache more.

୨୧ ⁺˳₊

“Do you want it? Hmmpf. Tell me what you want. Use your words,” is closest he will get to cooing at you, when he’s firmly demanding that you explicitly describe just how you want him, encouraging the most obscene words to spill from your trembling lips. A calloused hand grabs you by the jaw, turning your head to face him and look him in the eyes, and you feel your face burning in embarrassment.

✧ Superbia Squalo

Cocky bastard. Has no shame. Ego through the roof. You know this guy talks.

“D’ya like that? Yeah? Yeah, I can tell- fuck, the way you squeeze around me when I do this.. you gonna cum? Gonna make a mess, huh?” He exhales in such a way that it’s almost a chuckle, grinning ear to ear as he watches you squirm under him and reach your peak, not stopping what he’s doing until you’re twitching and tearing up, begging him to stop because you’re too sensitive to bear it anymore.

"Too much? You didn't think it'd be too much when you were rubbing me so desperately through my pants, huh? Open that smart mouth for me, darling." You hate that the only times he uses pet names is to mock you, and you hate that you're too holes-for-brains to do anything but obey when he gets sassy with you.

✧ Xanxus

Not much of a talker, and honestly is usually pretty rude. The only times he really says much is if you specifically ask him to talk dirty to you. If you don’t ask for it ahead of time, he’s very much a guy who speaks just to give instructions, and maybe warn you that he’s gonna bust.. and to prepare yourself for round two.. and three.. and f-

“Shut up, fuck.. lift your ass up.. ngh, finally making yourself useful,” he grumbles as he roughly fills you again, calloused hands gripping your waist roughly, sure to leave bruises tomorrow morning. “A bunny for breeding, is what you are..”

୨୧ ⁺˳₊

“Cum,” he instructs, short nails digging into the plush of your hips as he moves you, dragging you over his cock. “Right fuckin’ now, or else.” And you do. You shake in his hold and your walls spasm around him, because it feels so damn good, and because you know that if you don’t follow his command, he won’t give you another chance to reach your own high.

A list of my jjba ships for fun

Popular/common: jotakak, Joseph and Caesar, josuyasu, jolmes + f.f., Squalo and Tiziano, Sorbet and Gelato, seccolata, bruabba, Koichi and Yukako, DIO and pucci, dinopants, meloghia, and gyjo (I think that's all the ones that wouldn't be considered rarepairs)

Not super popular from what I know: kiraboss, narmis, fugio, holpol, rubber soul and steely dan, Wekapipo and Magenta Magenta, and Weather Report and Anasui

Rarepairs: Mikitaka and Rohan, devochaka, Blackmore and Funny Valentine, and Illuso and Formaggio

I have basically invented this ship and it's a rarepair now: Massiolo/stoned cards

There is literally only one or two fanfics of this pair that could find: pocoloco and sandman, D-I-S-C-O and Ringo Roadagain, Oyecomova and Mrs. Robinson

Idk why I ship this there is no content I guess it's just for vibes?: Mountain Tim and Dr. Ferdinand

Other: oc x canon

[jjellysoo]

@childe-of-saulot NOT ONLY CAN I POST MY ORIGINAL CAPTON, I can also show Squalo being a horndog for Xanxus’ fighting on multiple occasion, just to put him on blast.

EXHIBIT A

EXHIBIT B

EXHIBIT C (which is a bit iffy, but based on Exhibits A and B we know he likes seeing Xanxus get like this)

In conclusion, Squalo put your dick away.

AND BONUS, here’s Xanxus being a freak for Squalo’s fighting. Fair is fair.

(^ Guy that supposedly “doesn’t smile” smiling to himself watching Squalo fight, the battle of which he had no reason to come to)

[myrmyrtheorca]

I have a feeling you have a lot of asks about Squalo already, but I'm going to go for it anyway! May I ask 12 and 23 for the dear Shark?

(Character ask game) Hi Kiiitt 🩵 I did but it's alright, I want to think of it as people being interested in my (bad) takes about my favorite loud man. No problem at all!

-- [Squalo] --

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character? - he's an infrequent reader! His responsabilities as captain + his training take most of his time, but I like to think he's also interested in Italian history, specifically military history. I think he'd be well versed in the 19th century and the Unification of Italy. Nobody in the Varia knows, of course, nor he ever brings it up since there's nobody as knowledgeable as him to talk about it with.

23. Favorite picture of this character? - oh hold on I must search ...t h e a r c h i v e s here's a selection of my favorite manga panels! I really can't choose one....

{Context: Squalo learnt English from a Londoner. Have you ever heard of Cockney rhyming slang? It uses terms such as "Liza Minelli", rhyming with and referring to a 'telly' or TV. The rhyming part is omitted. Hence, Liza replaces 'telly' and Scooby (short for Scooby-Doo, naturally) fittingly means "clue". In other words, he's saying "I've been trying to set up the TV but as for if that's actually working I have no fucking idea."

And yes, I do write out the Cockney accent.

Also, for the record, I drew the follow-up in a state of near slumber which never fully came to fruition.}

17 for saphyre?

This is an interesting question for sure! Ty!!!

— Do they tend to run fevers? How do they take their temperature?

Short answer is yes! hehe you'll see. In the world most of my ocs live called Animalían even if they've human-like body types they're mostly regular animals/mythological beings and such stuff ('Cause there's only 7 half-humans who exists there, one of them is Snehan).

So, Saphyre is a spider: they're ectotherm or "cold blood" animals whose temperature regulation is determined by external elements of the environment. She hates summer a lot 'cause of the heat and she tends to be very feverish at times. On winters too, she tends to caught terrible and miserable colds as the temperature goes lower.

As she's part of the royalty (literally a princess), she has some knowledge about magic and she can identify her health state by using a tactic "generic wellbeing factor" that displays a whole "clinic analysis" of the user. Most times she knows by her instincts, meteorologically speaking, when the environment is changing. That would explain how she can take care of herself properly on either situation or to acknowledge a disruption of her own temperature (she's pretty unmindful at times tho,, that's why she can't escape being sick at least two times a year).

[araccoonthatlikesmurder]

You know how some stands will just randomly get upgrades. Well what if I did that with Clash. What if when Tiziano dies and Squalo swears his vengeance he boils with so much rage at his fallen lover his soul physically alters, creating a new stand entirely.

User: Squalo

Looks: A large shark, seemingly formed of reddish-pink tendrils. The dorsal fin has two headbands on it, and around the top area above the snout, an array of long and blond hair sits.

Ability: Anyone bit by Psycho Killer cannot mention the stand in any way, shape, or form. It can also traverse on land with its tentacles, but it’s much faster in water.

Hi 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Questions time!! For Ava and Lorenzo

Are there any tropes fandom would put upon your character, for better or for worse?

What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

By contrast, what would their haters dislike about your character? Is it a petty complaint? A mischaracterization of the character or their intentions? Are they just a woman in a largely male-centric series?

Ask Meme

Hi hi hi there! Thank you for sending this in Mel! I'm so honored that you have interest in my dudes!

Are there any tropes fandom would put upon your character, for better or for worse?

Ava is definitely one of the biggest yandere providers. The way he clings to his brother would spark many many yandere scenarios. I also think he is someone who is put a lot through unhealthy relationships or one sided loves. Another thing I could see with him is going through the entire shipping bingo (only one bed, hanahaki, fake boyfriends, arranged marriage, snowed in together-)

Lorenzo weirdly enough I could see as being made the reluctant team mom? Also def seen as being a witty one liner machine. Biggest enemies to lovers candidate tbh, he gets instantly paired with whoever he has beef with and that's half the cast.

LorAva as a ship would def be a fave for the tragedy enjoyers, because despite them working it out in canon they just have such high angst potential. Lots of "there was only one bed" stories.

What headcanons/theories do you believe fandom would invent about your character?

For Ava they'd definitely do a lot of HCs about how much he is like their mother and what that says about their mother and Ava in return. Lot's of fluffy headcanons about him being pure and wholesome, letting out his box animal to play, holding tea parties. There is definitely a long running theory that all officers and especially Xanxus have "adopted" Ava as their princess because it's Squalos cute younger brother? Many many "Xanxus is actually soft to Ava" headcanons.

Don't ask me how but i believe there'd be people who believe Lorenzo is secretly related to Belphegor or even Gokudera. Def a candidate of moe gap headcanons about him secretly being really into stuff like stuffed animals??? definitely a lot of "he is just misunderstood :c" posts and a strangely wide accepted AU of Lorenzo and Dera being brothers??? It's all good fun though

By contrast, what would their haters dislike about your character? Is it a petty complaint? A mischaracterization of the character or their intentions? Are they just a woman in a largely male-centric series?

The amount of hate for Ava, because there are a good few that ship him with his brother. In general I think most Ava hate would come through how he is depicted by fandom as this uwu shota bean too pure for this world, which makes him seem so unnecesarily childish. With the uwu baby bean comes also the "he has never done anything wrong in his life" which some find extremely annoying because Ava is ALSO violent and hotheaded and can say insanely stupid things. Also lots of hate because of his relationship with Takeshi and the Yama x someone else shippers don't like that.

Lorenzo is definitely just hated because he is a meanie. Or rather it's the whole "they are so unhealthy for each other" debate. One specific thing he is hated for by some is that [SPOILER ALERT] during the fights that break out to determine if Tsuna keeps listening to Squad 4 or if he refuses their teachings, Lorenzo actually wins his fight against Hibari through a technicallity and myyyy god there are enough Hibari fans who hate that so much, and therefore just can't forgive Lorenzo.

【KHR AU】 XanLena and the Varia visit Vietnam ❤️💜🔥🪷

CN Neka by BIKOSI KHR Official art by Akira Amano

Intro

Discussion rambles I had with my friends Cinna and Snow about a KHR AU scenario of mine where XanLena (Xanxus/Selena) and the rest of the Varia visit Vietnam.

For those who don't know, Selena is my Viet NB assassin KHR OC who joins the Varia as one of their members. She has a calm, reserved personality and likes flowers, gardening, and fashion. In my KHR AU, she is Xanxus' S/O. My lotus themed wife... 💜🪷

I wanted to post this for Xanxus' birthday today! Happy birthday Xanxus! Happy birthday to my fave KHR character ❤️🍷🔥

Xanxus is my favourite KHR character, tied with Hibari. You were born on 10/10 to be a 10/10! I wanna draw XanLena when I get the chance…

Varia visits Vietnam

Selena in her main outfit and Xanxus wearing áo dài

Me: I have a lot of KHR related discussions (including about my KHR AU), which is why I need to start posting more of it here. I write a lot about Selena's shenanigans with the other Varia members. The Vongola family's chaotic funky assassin squad. Assassin kindergarten brawl

Omg this generates ideas in my head of the Varia taking a vacation to Vietnam... When Selena asks him about visiting Vietnam, I feel like Xanxus would want to see Selena's home country

C: CUTE. The blorboes exploring your home country is peak comfort actually /lh

S: Y e s

Hạ Long Bay

Me: The idea I had in my head was so funny. Like I imagined the Varia visiting famous Viet tourist attractions like Hạ Long Bay. The Varia members are going sightseeing in boats.

Xanxus and Selena are sitting together in a separate boat, while Xanxus is sitting all cross legged

The other members (Squalo, Bel, Lussuria, Levi, Mammon) are in separate boats. At one point, they start arguing and fighting. And the ensuing chaos causes their boats to tip over, causing them to all fall into the water

Me: And Xanxus continues to sit there with his eyes closed, completely unconcerned/unfazed, and Selena is just like (!?!?!?) when she sees the huge splashes when everyone falls into the water

I imagined him to have these expressions~

(KHR: Vol. 40 - Ch. 391) (KHR: Vol. 25 - Ch. 227) (KHR: Vol. 39 - Ch. 375)

C: ONSNCNZNXNDZ

Average day with the Varia

I swear, Vietnam has one acre less of land once the Varia leaves /jk

S: These pics look so pretty

Me: HDAHSHDSHSH

Omg Varia exploring in Vietnam's caverns via boat would be fun!

Me: For the "The Varia members are at Hạ Long Bay" idea I had

I imagine when the Varia members fight and tip each other's boats over (which causes everyone except XanLena to fall into the water), Xanxus is just sitting like this, completely unfazed while chilling in his boat with Selena

C: Truly an average day

...

I remember coming up with a bunch of KHR AU scenarios where the Varia visit Vietnam. I wanna make more scenarios based on this idea since it's so fun to imagine the Varia's shenanigans while they're on vacation in Vietnam.

Selena would be scolding them to not wreck her home country 💥

I imagine Selena expresses to Xanxus that she feels a little homesick since she's been living with him in Italy but misses going back to see her home country every once in a while, so she wants to take a short trip to Vietnam by herself, if possible, when her work is done.

Xanxus thinks it over in his head and then decides they'll be going on vacation.

Xanxus announces to the Varia and they're going on vacation and says it's for "work" but everyone knows what it's actually for.

Hehehe. Getaway vacation to Vietnam! ✌️

(Read under the cut for more)

Misc Rambles

FGO referenced Hạ Long Bay with the Trưng Sisters! Very cool of them. Here's Hạ Long Bay in the Trưng Sisters' Noble Phantasm (NP) background at the end.

Trưng Sisters (Fate/Grand Order)

IKR AVERAGE DAY WITH THE VARIA

S: WNNISSUVAA

C: Oooh true!!! That's very cool :3 LMFAO

Me: I imagine Selena has a trait where she tips money to children at booths (since kids often help out at their family's stores). Like in general, she gives tips to people who provide good services, but will give larger amounts to kids.

S: Aw

C: Ohhh cuute. She's a good person fr

Me: Still cannot believe that FGO gave me the first major Viet rep in mainstream media like animanga and games. And they were drawn by Takegarou, one of my fave artists. And they have wonderful designs and colours. Massive W

Cuz it's FGO, which has a horrible reputation with rep, I expected to lose on every front tbh, but I won with this (and I never expected to win)

The outfit designs and colours are gorgeous... Take is such a good character designer and has really diverse body and facial types and skintones (unlike F*na LMFAO).

Take has such a strong aesthetic sense. Her colours are so strong. I love that the Trưng Sisters have tanner skin like a SEA person would. I used them as refs for Selena and Xanxus' skintones (I HC Xanxus to be a mixed Italian)

My good friend Feuri told me that Southern Italy and especially Sicily tends to have a higher mixed population and more tan and olive skinned folks compared to North Italy.

So I HC Xanxus has a very mixed ethnicity (^^) And it fits with the KHR ani giving him an olive or warmer skin tone, compared to his OG manga version. Xanxus' design literally looks better with darker skin, because it harmonizes against the black and red colours in his design.

Me: I visited Hạ Long Bay when I was a kid (my family and I went on a huge vacation all over Vietnam when I was 6 ~ 7)

YEA Selena is genuinely a good person. She's a sweetie, but she does have an unhinged side when it comes to her work. Which is a nice contrast to the rest of the Varia

C: Very true. Since outside of her job, Selena is legit nice af lmao

S: Cool :3

Me: Hạ Long Bay caves! I think I did see the caves as a tourist attraction

Oh yeah and the Varia are probably all chilling in Viet clothes while on their vacation

C: Oh those are fucking gorgeous holy shit Awwww

Me:

C: I swear Vietnam has one less acre of land when the Varia leaves

Yeah and I imagine Selena is basically the little sister of the Varia who keeps up a mentally big sister role and tries to keep her chaotic siblings in line

C: POOR SELENA JSJGNDKFKD WORST POSITION EVER HONESTLY

...

Me: Vietnam has elephant riding tourist attractions and the elephants are nice! And there's also ladders that'd lead up to tall wooden houses

C: Cool :3

Misc Rambles

S: I sometimes forget that in the art they’re like teenagers and not mid 20 adults

Me: It depends on the charas! Some are teens, some are mid 20s adults or older

S: Not in a bad way but I just think it’s funny a lot of teenagers in shounen media look like adults cause honestly I have that same problem with my art 🙈

Me: SAME LMAO

Biggest reason why you haven't seen me draw Wadanohara yet or MMBN/EXE charas that much: I can't draw kids good at all /lh

C: SHONEN CHARACTERS ALWAYS LOOK 5 YEARS YOUNGER OR FIVE YEARS OLDER I SWEAR

S: IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY

Me: And the Xích lô (cyclos) in Vietnam where you pay a very inexpensive amount of money (it's cheap) and then get lead around in like bikes/cycles It's a common tourist attraction.

C: Oh yeah! I think I've heard

...

Me: Ngl a part of me wants to visit Vietnam again someday... I feel a higher cultural connection to VN culture than most of the younger gen in my family does and the tourist attractions are WAY more exciting than here.

There were even elephant riding tourist attractions and the elephants were nice! And ladders that'd lead to wooden houses (tourist attractions). And a bunch of caverns and such

C: Cool :3

S: Oooooo I see

C: And it'd be a great opportunity to reconnect with your culture up close

Me: I am slowly reconnecting with my culture by getting more VN clothes heehee

I want to reconnect with my culture since I'm Việt Kiều (Viet diaspora), so I want to learn more about Viet culture
