#daryun x narsus

[nanamiwifeyy]

Headcannons: Our boy's are jealous...how do they show it?

Anime: Heroic legend of Arslan

Including: Daryun, Narsus, Gieve, Jashwant,older Arslan, older Elam

Warning: grammer, ooc?

(●♡●)

Daryun: The dead stare, this man killed the person like 5 times in his head.He is most of the time okay with it. You are nice,pretty, attractive, kind, social, kind ....OF COURSE you will get attention.But when he sees a guy getting to friendly with you, his patience has reach the limit. He saw the stranger putting a hand on your shoulder and brushing your hair down.A vein popped on Daryun's neck and fist as he witnessed this scandal happing before him. He would rather see Narsus's painting than his lady being touched by someone else. Wishing you would spend the time with him instead, he will forcefully nvite himsef in the conversation in question..Keeping an arm around you and staring in the eyes of the person while drinking his beer. And when he is asked if he was jealous, he will deny it.

Arslan: He guy is a bit dense. He was talking with others during the banquete. You were enjoying the time when a Parsian official sat next to you, starting a conversation. You enjoyed the conversation until the guy begin to ask personal questions. This didn't went unnoticed by Gieve, who was having a fair time with women around him. He excused himself and went to the prince. Whispering to the prince that there is a damsel in distress in the room. The prince scanned the room but didn't saw anything. Gieve pushed him in your direction and Arslan saw you wanted to leave but the guy held you softly down. Arslan hurried his way to you and sat next to you. Immediatly the attention went to him as he is the prince. Arslan, by observing Narsus and Gieve, learned to have his way with words and made a conversation with the official while holding your hand, giving the reassearance that you needed. Arslan learned to make sure to keep an eye out for you.

Gieve did receive a blow to the head by Daryun for pushing the prince.

Narsus:This man can read the mind and body. His conversation with Daryun had to be distrupted as someone had the audicity to make moves on you. He saw you drinking your wine while a knight was talking to you.You of course, was trying to be nice and struck up a conversation. This man was holding your hand, brushing your hair away.He excused himself from the conversation, upon asked the answer was: saving my damsel in distress

He was walking normal untill he saw the hand sneaking to yor waist, he took a sprint save to say. He knows better than to not make a huge commontion in a baquet so he made his was to you and simply said that he needed you for something slapping the hand of your waist.He asked you to fully wash yourself that night.

Elam: This guy doesn't hesistate. He make sure everybody knows that, skilled in archery at that. When a guy makes you uncomfortable, he will make a make-shift bow and launch a rock to the guy's temple: knocking him out. But it's a different story during a banquete. He is usually very quite and help around during the banquete so he doesn't see you in the room usually. But once he saw that there was a knight, super drunk leaning on you, holding you ect. He went back in the kitchen and made a plate full of meat. He seasoned the meat with every spice and pepper in the kitchen. He asked a servant to serve it to him as he cleaned himself and sat next to you with a new bottle of wine. The knight didn't like this and pulled you closer to him. Then, the servant came and served the plate to him. The knight lost himself and digged in the plate. Only to cough and become one with a tomato. Elam quickly poured him a cup of wine, the knight grapped the whole bottle and drank it without a thought. Only to have his mouth burn more than it already is. Elam made sure to spike the bottle of wine- replace the wine with boiled water with spice flaoting in it.

That pour soul learned the hard way to never disrespect another guy's woman.

Gieve:This man is a certified womanizer and love to give woman attention but when other do it to you, than it's a problem. He just felt that the guy you were talking to had interest in you and he did not like that.He also saw the clear uncofortable signs that you. Believe me, he has experience. Not only will he plot ways to murder the guy but make sure to embarrasse the guy while he is at it. So he made his way to you and poured himself a cup of wine, inculding himself in the conversation you two were holding. He constantly wanted to talk to you, interruppting the knight's sentence to ask you something. Gieve will make sure to be pysical: holding hands, kissing you on your face and neck, rubbing your lower back. Al signs to show the guy you were his woman.

Let's say the guy quickly left.

Jashwant:He is an observer, nothing goes unnoticed by him. He is used to keep feelings aside, focussing on the work that is given to him. He was leaning against the wall, protecting prince Arslan while he was watching the banquet in full swing. He also saw you talking to a nice couple, the seems nice to him. But the jealousy started to rise when they introduced their son to you. A young, handsome guy from Sindhura. He kissed your hand and politely introduced himself to you. He wanted to walk over to you but prince Arslan would be unguarded as Daryun, Narsus and even Gieve were somewhere else. He had faith in the bond you two share so he knew that you wouldn't leave him. As the banquete went on, he didn't see you. His mind raced through the thoughts of this fancy guy kidnapping you. Gieve returned and he quickly traded position with him in search for you. He ran and ran and that's when he saw you and that guy. You tried to get away from the guy but he held a firm grip on you. Jashwant went for the jawkick and the guy landed on the ground. He asked you to leave and gp back to the banquete, the seriousness in his eyes said enoughh and you did as yo were told. When Jashwant returned, he had small bloodstains on his clothes that wold go unnoticed to the naked eye

The after he asked you to place red powder in the center of your hairline, showing the world that you are taken.

So I actually have created a small and simple timeline for my Arslan AU. ( I am actually writing a new chapter for the story and yes I am really, really slow). The Timeline is not fully complete, for example the year where Narsus became Lord of Daylam missed and I am not really sure with every canon data. So they will mixed up a bit with my AU and the canon data. A big thanks @tired-reader-writerfor the help to collect some year numbers and canon events.

In the timeline are some events from my AU that are a bit of a spoiler and I hope I can dissolve them with the new chapter I actually write. Hopefully I can posted it in a few days xD.

[suhmayzooka]

I the Jester X Knight post was good and then I saw the tag asdffgjjj. You know every time Gieve calls Daryun a beast the ship gains a sail

Summary: Daryun seeks out Narsus after the forces of Turan attacked the fortress of Peshawar. They banter comfortably until Narsus lets slip something he has been holding onto for several years.

Random sleepy question (hello I was napping and woke up to your post, what an evening): how well do you think the ArSen cast can sing? I've been thinking about one of my ArSen OCs and then my thoughts drifted to the canon cast. Would they like singing? Are they good at it? I've tried searching up stuff sung by the VAs (Katsuyuki Konishi was actually the first I looked, LOL) but all of the songs were... not very much to my taste. Why do VA songs tend to be very loud and shouty and stuff? Where are the quieter, softer songs? Am I just very bad at looking??? 🤣

Either way, please answer this only when you feel like it— and have a nice day!

Oh, I’ve got something good for you! There are actually a few Arslan Senki character songs, sung by the voice actors in-character! These were able to be unlocked in the Arslan Senki x Musou game, and were later released on a CD included with the sixth S1 Blu-ray/DVD release in Japan. You can listen to them here! The tracklist is as follows:

1.   Kazeshirube (風導 -kazeshirube- lit. Guided by Winds) by Arslan (CV: Yūsuke Kobayashi) 2.   Tatakai, Sore wa Kishi no Shinjitsu (戦い、それは騎士の真実 lit. Fighting, This is the Knight's Truth) by Daryun (CV: Yoshimasa Hosoya) 3.   Bigaku no Shōzō (美学の肖像 lit. A Portrait of Aesthetics) by Narsus (CV: Daisuke Namikawa) 4.   Namonaki Hoshi (名もなき星 lit. A Nameless Star) by Elam (CV: Natsuki Hanae) 5.   Koto no Hane Oto no Sora (言の羽 音の空 lit. Feathers of Words, The Sky of Sounds) by Gieve (CV: KENN)

...I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t looked for songs by Katsuyuki Konishi before. It’s been a while since I last listened to them but I remember quite liking Koran, if only because I amused myself by imagining salaryman Shapur from Corporate Warrior Arslan being persuaded to join the other Pars Corporation employees for karaoke and singing it (and of course he’d have to be drunk to do it, so drunk in fact that Kubard’s going to have to help him get home despite his protests that he’s fine). In terms of softer songs, you might like 祈念 (Kinen).

As far as canon characters go, I know of one canonically good singer (Manuchurh, he apparently had a very beautiful voice) and several bad ones (Kubard, Innocentis, Don Ricardo). There might be some others mentioned, those are just the ones I can remember. Singing is also part of Turanian culture! Burhan sings at one point and so does Jimsa. For the others, it’s not something I’ve really thought about before so I don’t have any headcanons about specific characters yet ...actually wait, I lied, I do headcanon that Gurgin has a pleasant singing voice, not that he tends to use it recreationally, or at all when he’s with Team Zahhak

I remember Farangis singing to lay the dead to rest in the anime (S1 E25). In the novel, it just says that she prays for the fallen. Perhaps melodic chanting / singing is incorporated into the work of priests and priestesses, too? I’m not sure about whether it’s directly mentioned somewhere else in the novels, but I like the idea.

Not directly related to what you’re asking, but it amuses me and I think you’ll enjoy it, too — some of Isfan’s heroic deeds later become the subject of a ballad (something like “Isfan and His Two Wolves, Protectors of the People”). I’m not sure at what stage it went from a story being recounted multiple times to being immortalised as a folk song, but on the offchance Gieve ever found out about it, I am 100% certain he sang it in Isfan’s hearing just to piss him off.

[pastellig]

don’t you also ship daryun x narsus? If they were together (in your hc) when daryun went to serica then why did daryun fall in love with another person? i have only dated 1 person (i’m in hs) but id be really upset if he fell in love with someone else and i think he would be upset if I fell in love with someone else

I both ship them and don't ship them. I think the story reads well both ways, and sometimes I'm in the mood for a wholesome friendship and sometimes I'm in the mood for a little angst :)

One of the reasons I like this situation as much as I do is because adult life is full of difficult choices in between career, family, friends, and love. I am around Daryun’s age, and I have made those challenging (and profoundly heart wrenching) choices myself.

Daryun chose duty, career, country, and (given who his uncle is) family instead of staying in Serica. He canonically says that he doesn't regret this choice (link contains novel spoilers) because it means he could support Arslan (though Arslan can tell he does have some regrets). And this choice allows the Narsus/Daryun ship to sail.

Shinryan/Daryun are canon (with minimal content) whereas Narsus/Daryun are not, so it takes a little finagling (AKA, headcanons) to make either work, and there’s room for both because headcanons are full of potential.

Maybe Narsus was upset. Or maybe Narsus understood and had his own relationship(s) in Daryun's absence. Maybe Daryun and Narsus never talked about "what" they were, so there’s nothing for them to angst over. Maybe if he had stayed in Serica, Daryun would continue to just see Narsus as a friend.

As far as my headcanons go:

It certainly was a difficult parting, though Shinryan understood the call of duty — she couldn’t follow him to Pars for the same reason.

Daryun was excited to tell Narsus about her, and seek his insight in how he could make a more permanent transition to Serica. He couldn’t, arriving home to find his close friend had been exiled. As he advanced in his career, Daryun’s rank and responsibilities meant he had to stay close to Pars.

He keeps an ear out for news from Serica, especially information about a brave warrior princess. Thus far there has been no announcement of an engagement, but he has steeled himself for the fact it may come — it is one of the best ways to make an alliance, after all. He wouldn’t harbor any ill will toward her.

He still holds a torch for Shinryan, but reuniting with Narsus ignites another. This is difficult and frustrating for Daryun, a man who prides himself on loyalty. Narsus seems to understand, and he knows Shinryan would too. If they could meet in person, they wouldn’t engage in petty games like two noble girls fighting over the same eligible lord. He loves them all the more for it. Sometimes he hopes that Narsus will find someone or Shinryan will marry, so he doesn’t have to make a choice.

Though he is confident returning to Pars was the right choice, he dreams of a more peaceful timeline, one in which the stars aligned so he could stay in Serica with Shinryan. That dream is a big one — it’s as much about her as it is about sparing Pars from the Lusitanians’ destruction, and Arslan and Elam and Alfarid from bloody battles. He wishes he could ask Uncle Vaphriz for advice.

But he can’t pursue either until Shah Arslan is crowned and Pars is in repair, so he holds them both in his heart. And he waits.

Currently watching and enjoying Ousama Ranking / Ranking of Kings and have to laugh because Domas looks like a Daryun X Narsus lovechild and he certainly could use some of their advice.

Arslan x Estelle Novel Summary (Book 15)

Elam once again mentions the matter of marriage to Arslan:

" 'This may be redundant, but most of your subjects wish for Your Majesty to marry soon, so please reconsider.'

'They all say that? What would Gieve say?'

'Your Majesty can't take him seriously!'

As soon as Elam finishes, Arslan can't help but laugh.

'I'm sorry to let you concern over this. But the matter of marriage must wait longer! Maybe I can reconsider in another ten years. The crucial matter now is peace in the kingdom. If I marry now, it might even cause trouble for the prospect.'

At that moment, the figure which appears in Arslan's mind is that of the female Lusitanian knight."

From there, Arslan changes the subject to Elam's prospective marriage, which Elam vehemently rejects. Later, Arslan brings up to Elam the possibility of Elam x Aisha, a maid in the royal court.

In a later part of Book 15, Arslan can be seen visiting Estelle's grave by himself:

"In within the low-rising stone walls, submerged by blossoming autumn flowers, stood the small tombstone, surrounded by cosmos, wild roses, platycodon, dianthus, and other flowers found nowhere else in the royal palace, such as imported chrysanthemum. Bending over against the stone wall, Arslan can be seen lost in his thoughts. He hears a cautious approach from behind and turns.

'It's you, Kasim.'

'Ah, forgive my intrusion, Your Majesty'

'It's okay, I'm just here to daze.'

Arslan leans against the stone wall and says.

'You've taken good care of Estelle's grave, thank you.'

'No no no, as your subject, I'm only doing what I've ought to do. Ah, I'm just here to have a look, I'll be going now.'

The servant known as the nephew of the Prime Minister Lushan lowers his head practically to his knees.

'Don't worry. As I've said, I'm just here to daze.'

Arslan grasps at a few strands of golden hair drifting through the autumn breeze."

Elam soon arrives, as does the maid Aisha, who stumbles in with a bouquet of flowers to lay before Estelle's tombstone. Elam catches her from falling, rebukes her for being so clumsy, and for having such a lack of common sense as to place a bouquet in a garden already full of flowers. Arslan's response:

" 'The more flowers the better, this will ensure that Estelle's spirit of valor and chivalry can be perserved for eternity.'

Upon hearing those words, the three subjects stand in awe."

(In a nutshell: As Narsus and Daryun already suspect, whenever Arslan is asked about finding a marriage partner, the image of Estelle lingers in his mind. Even without the mentioning of marriage, Arslan frequently thinks of Estelle. The touching scene with Arslan alone at her gravesite affirms how deeply he treasures Estelle in his heart.)

Do you have headcanons for modern AU Daryun and Narsus? x

I do have headcanons for a modern day AU. The exact setting is not something I came up with by myself, but the basic premise is Daryun is a sport team coach and Narsus is a former art teacher from the same school. The Sports Club (consisting of the younger characters) is in trouble and struggling financially. This is how I imagine their lives. The links are all to songs on YouTube.

Daryun:

His black motorbike is called a Shabrang. He and Kishward go out biking occasionally, Kishward owns a Tahir.

He has weights at his apartment but can do some jumping excercises, too, because he doesn't live over anyone. Has a poster of famous player Rostam in his room.

He makes small shopping trips because he doesn't own a car.

He stops by Narsus' house more often than the other way round to cook there because Narsus has a separate kitchen, that doesn’t make the whole place smell of food.

When he used to play in a team himself he had the number 12. His current coach jersey is a custom black one.

Narsus:

Has at least a speck of paint on every item of clothing he owns. He put some on his motorbike helmet he got from Daryun on purpose, though.

He likes to sing cheesy songs on the radio like 80's Love Ballads while he and Daryun cook together (they have basic household skills in this, Elam needs to go to school and have a teen life!)

Has in-depth knowledge of the sport but it's rarely ever on TV, so he snacks on the sofa watching online videos of it.

He makes sure his Ex, Shaghad, knows he made a mistake. 

Narsus still orders wine when they take the team out for dinner after a game, safe in the knowledge that usually Daryun will drive him home later

Other:

Narsus sponsors Elam.

When they rent a bus to go to competitions Kubard is the driver.

Gieve is a Music teacher, Farangis a Religious Education teacher

Etoile later joins the Pars Team

Rumours about a ghost go around school. But Biology Teacher Isfan's brother is just fine, he just left to work at a different institution.

Guiscard is actually kind of boring and is happy to be a coach for Lusitania, it could be worse, he could be running a country during a war in another life.

~Short Story Pitch~

When playing against Shindhura, the Pars Team are losing and Daryun is coaching from the sidelines. Behind him, Narsus notices something isn't right and the children could get hurt. He texts Gieve and Farangis a reference to a TV series and they catch on that they should mess with the playing field in some way to get the match called off (There's no way Narsus will incriminate himself with something so basic like TEXTS). Investor Rajendra offers to sponsor the Pars Team because he can see the potential in some players, but it's also power play. He tosses a jersey at Daryun with a massive embroidered Tiger on it. Rajendra suggests they think about it, gets into his car, and drives away laughing. Daryun: *"Tch" face* He thinks the shirt is so hideous he gives it to a charity shop the next day and thinks he can move on with his life. The club needs the money, but not for this.

A few weeks later the rematch takes place. The Pars team are nervous, but they have a new strategy. Just before the match, Narsus shoves something into Daryun’s arms. Daryun: "This i- How? Why did you spend money on this." Narsus: "A fiver, we'll live. It was professionally cleaned, at least, and..." Narsus points to a little wiring on the shirt. "Elam's tech classes are coming along fine." Daryun: "What are you planning?"

Narsus: "Wear the shirt, Daryun. And just be yourself. Occasionally you'll get instructions via the wire" he says, then indicating a little further away to Jaswant from the Shindhuran staff and Farangis. Basically Narsus got some dirt on Rajendra and while the game is going on Gieve, Farangis, and Jaswant uncover it. Daryun needed to wear the shirt so their act was convincing when sweet-talking Rajendra.

Through anime protagonist powers the Pars Team win despite the odds. There's a big meal at the end ("The shirt stays on, Daryun" Narsus clearly enjoys how hideous it is). Narsus celebrates with a drink and Daryun also has some, so they arrange a taxi for later. The kids are driven home in the bus. 

(The rest is this Pet Shop Boys song from Narsus’ pov OK just because) 

....look I don't know how good the plan was, but I had a VISION of the boomerang hideous tiger shirt Daryun just cannot get rid of.

If you're fond of historical seinen manga like Vinland Saga, I'm sure you'll love this!

Issak 

Story: Makari Shinji

Art: DOUBLE-S

Story: During the Thirty Years’ War, a Japanese marksman known as Issak traveled across Europe and keep being entangled in wars for his goal. He work as mercenary with aim to find the person who killed his master and to get back a specific rifle.

First of all, the art of this manga is amazing! It’s really shouting “historical seinen” when you read the pages! As for the Thirty Years’ War, you can search about it in internet what exactly is going on during that era. Based on what I have seen, most battle is Catholics vs Protestants but some other political issues are also involved. ANYWAY! Let’s start with introducing our cool long-haired bishie Protagonist!

Issak is a marksman but he's also a swordsman and archer. Not only that! He also suggest his war strategies and know self-medication. In other words, he’s a legend! His stubborn nature make him do anything to survive. When everyone accepted that they are going to die, this guy will raise his voice and show a different perspective to win even if he’s badly injured.

And in case, you want to ask why his name is not Japanese. It is actually Japanese. It just a matter of pronunciation, I believe. His real name is Isaku but foreigners kinda pronounced it as Issak. When I begin to read it, I thought he’s a swordsman with katana and all that. It really surprise me that he’s a marksman. Maybe bc his character design reminds me of Felix Fraldarius from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Zetta also reminds me of Annette so yeah I’m sold. It’s like my ship became suddenly canon lol. Zetta is a fine girl character. I have no idea why people find her annoying. She pretty much has the initiative to help them and don’t just wait. There are times that she seems show strong interest to Issak like everything she did is for him and wish to receive a validation from him that she did well. Something like that. Zetta is a fine girl for me so I’m going to ship them. She’s not perfect but she’s fine. I also like the dynamic of a person who believe in God x don’t believe in God. I mean they look so cute together! I really like how she assists Issak during his battle. 

The manga actually have three long haired bishies. Issak(the protag), Heinrich(A prince, Issak work for him in the meantime) and Lorenzo(A creepy guy who loves war). Heinrich and Issak relationship gives me this Narsus-Daryun tandem from Arslan Senki. Issak is yes a mercenary but Heinrich treats him like a comrade. 

As for Lorenzo, I don’t really wanna talk about him. I’m not fond of him. He enjoys war and the feeling of being close to death. He’s the exact opposite of our earnest Issak. 

The manga has so many clutch moment that I enjoyed so much! I’m sure it will look good if its adapted into animation! This manga shows that being a marksman is not just about shooting your target accurately. It shows a last minute decision like how you adapt in sudden changes of battle and how you build fear by choosing what or who to shoot. That’s why I STAN ISSAK LOL This manga need to be popular!!! It’ll be nice if they adapted this into anime like Vinland Saga!
