IF YOUR BODY IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE DEVIL GUN MODE

Thoughts about Nea, past!Allen and the next chapter

long post, spoilers under the cut

Okay so I've always wondered why Nea gave up on Allen as his ally so quickly. Allen was one of his closest allies besides Cross and Tim till the time of his death right? He even gave up his body so Nea could execute his masterplan.

Yes, Allen did lose all his memories(or did he?) and somehow ended up in the Black Order. But we know Nea can show him his memories so he should also technically be able to show him past!Allen memories that were locked away? Or atleast memories of himself with past!Allen?

Allen would definitely be torn and overwhelmed and confused after but everyone who has known the "other side of the war" has taken Nea's side so far. And Allen even went so far as to become Nea's vessel in the past. He would definitely take his old friend's side again right? Or even seek out some sort of a middle ground?

Why didn't he do that then? Nea watched all of his memories since Cross started tailing him and Mana. Wouldn't it be easier to have Allen half-cooperate during the little time he has left, instead of having him actively work against him?

There's so much emotion in this one panel here. Confusion, worry, pain, anger, desolation, and maybe even a hint of guilt?

Its like... he just didn't wanna disturb the little equilibrium Allen had managed to create in his life? The little community he had found in the Black Order?

I mean if we think abt it Nea never really wanted to parasitize Allen in the first place(or atleast that's what I think the evidence so far implies). It was just the only option available to them back then. They needed Nea's powers to thwart the Earl & the Noahs' plans. And if Nea died then the Earl would just absorb(?) him and there would be no stopping him after that.

And I think giving up on Allen as an ally was Nea's way of being kind to him. Of returning the favour. Being his ally isn't an easy or pleasant job from what we've seen so far. And Allen would've disappeared anyway from the moment past!Allen transferred Nea's memories to himself. After seeing his attachment to the Order and the friends he made there, maybe he just wanted Allen to disappear with pleasant memories he made at the Order rather than the gruesome memories of being Nea's ally.

This panel in particular is so sad. He was able to give up on Allen as an ally so easily because he still had Tim. Tim was his last remaining ally and then he wasn't. And its particularly cruel how Hoshino pulled this off. He says that he doesn't need anyone else as long as he has Tim and just a few chapters later Apocryphos kills him. Nea must be used to losing allies by now but Tim really was the last real friend he had left(hoshino you cruel cruel woman)

Also the way Link's just bomb dropped the news abt tim?

Imagine hearing your last friend/ally died from some rando and then not even getting the time to process it because your arch enemy's ressurection shows up and somehow has your face? And then you get yeeted back into brain breakroom just as you were about to start beefing with him and the next time you wake up you're in your childhood home which you have mixed, complicated feelings for.

And that's not even getting into the whole 'tim chose allen over nea' thing.

Also if Allen goes back to the mansion and finds Bookman, he's guaranteed to find out atleast part of his past if not the whole. And he would definitely demand to know more from Nea. Will he accept Allen as his ally again now that Tim is gone? Will he accept Link as well? Will he try to kill Johnny again? Will he even be stable enough to consider future plans? Will we ever see Lavi again? We find out next month :D

Or we don't

(I also have a theory abt the Bookmen having the ability to transfer memories but that one's for another time)

Thanks for reading!!!

[poupeesdecirque]

I have so many words for this but also I'm speechless. I loved all our HCs regarding past!Allen. I will miss him. I am sure Bookman Jr is a wonderful character whom I will adore but .. still.

[cirrusin]

Do you have a manifesto or some thoughts on Cross to spare ( *・ω・)ノ

omg hi <3 i have so many thoughts thank u for asking.. genuinely cross is the most insufferable character of dgm that isn’t an antagonist. and i love him ❤️

we know basically nothing about his backstory but iirc we do know that

- he knew a woman who looked similar to caterina (who might be maria?)

- nea claims he was forced to work with cross despite cross being human because of circumstances

- komui claims that whatever cross did with grave of maria was borderline earl shit and the order was pissed at him for doing it

- cross is older than 75 but hasn’t looked like he's aged

- he does have a functional eye under his mask and i’m pretty sure he can see through the mask too

so my personal theory is that either cross is the "weird uncle cyrus" nea mentioned, or a former bookman/bookman apprentice (because bookman commented that lavi was chosen because of his eye and lo and behold we have another red haired eye coverer !!!!)

a familial connection w the campbells would explain his magic, nea's claim, whatever it is he has with road, and his monologues about mana when he was stalking him. while being a former bookman makes sense because hoshino described him as being the one "closest to the truth"

but as a person.. lol. lmao. he was basically 500% ready to kill a five yr old before maria stopped him. he felt an ounce of guilt about sacrificing allen to nea before drowning his sorrows in wine and saying "whatever LOL." he keeps mooching off of his global polycule or whatever the fuck. his room at the black order looks like a stank den of misery. i mean in character interviews allen said interesting things about him (he was surprisingly patient while coaxing allen to look at an akuma for the second time??? and allen said he misses cross's salty stew ☹️☹️) but cross is going to hell i’m sorry

I don't know if you ever write for D.Gray-man again, but I recently found you Tyki HC and fell in love. You have a great writing! It's rare to find written DGM x reader those days, as fandom is mostly dead, forgotten and not popular for today's audience, so thank you for making my day! 👍

It's nice to hear that I was able to give you some joy with my writing. Truthfully, I don't know if I will get around to writing any DGM content anytime soon, but every blue moon I get the urge to. So we'll see!

[futurefind]

//Thinking about how my peak belorbo media D.Gray-man is... not just compatible with Fate/ nasuverse but easily so. Ft:

The Black Order & Holy Church being at odds with each other despite same on-paper goal; HC wants to eliminate all 'threats' to humanity, 'heresy' included, while TBO uses magic, Innocence/Invocators/Exorcists ('God's Chosen'), and atrocities to try and secure their goal

While both secret in nature, TBO both being antithetical to HC's views/goals and being a recognized and highly priveleged status symbol among public governments and officials, means HC just... has as little idea abt TBO as everyone else, but they're way more paranoid about it/them

Servants!! Servants and Masters, baybey!!!! Whether they're summoned by Exorcists, or Finders, or stray Invocators, or straight up stray randos viewed as compatable, why get summoned into a grail war when you can get summoned into the Holy War for nothing less than humanity's very survival??? (Dear GOD do they need the help!!!) ((Liably ripperoni to the Akumas the Servants slay, but also maybe not, which is more than what's guaranteed by TBO's other 'additional firepower' methods))

You could similarly justify Servants being summoned for the Noah/assisting them!! While the Servants (and Masters) on the Black Order's side are fighting for Humanity's preservation, those on the Noah's are fighting for Earth's... via eradicating humanity wholesale. Whoopsies!

Aka: I am psspsspssing anyone curious to try DGM!! :] If you're just interested in the premise/setting/tone/lore for this AU specifically, the max you'd need is ~80 chapters (when/before The Ark arc happens), and if you DO like it its updates are max every month n are only at ~250

(P.S. 'how important is this war for humanity's survival anyway?? i mean its literally a shounen--' ignoring how thereve been pub issues due to it veering too dark for shounen label the people trying to wipe out humanity are former humans who are creating an army of monsters via people wanting their deceased loved ones back. these monsters are literally unkillable except by Exorcists or other Akuma. meanwhile, a single scratch from a single Akuma bullet is a guaranteed kill.

The Black Order has a branch in every continent, because where there is People there is grief there are Akuma. The Exorcists? Not even 20 of them including the casualties)

Quels fours Miele choisir dans votre cuisine

Hydracook : présent essentiellement sur les fours pyrolyse à partir du modèle H6264BP. Alimentation via la « paille » inox située au haut à gauche de l’encadrement de l’enceinte. Véritable Générateur de vapeur de 3kW, 30cL de capacité, vidange du générateur (chaudière) dans le lèchefrite à l’intérieur (en gros, on laisse un lèchefrite après cuisson. Enceinte taille maximum, émaillée. T° Max 300°C.

Premiers combinés vapeur (n’ont pas la mention HC Pro) : modèles format standard 60x60cm, sont des modèles avec enceinte émaillée, joint caoutchouc, qui permet le 100% vapeur, mais limite la T° à env 230°C en tradi. Alimentation d’eau comme un four Hydracook, mais réservoir conséquent, vidange lèchefrite. Chaudière 2kW env (la volonté était de proposer un four plus abordable, dans la bagarre avec les fours AEG, Electrolux, ou Neff)

Fours combinés vapeur HC Pro : format standard ou compact 45 cm. Enceinte inox micro-structurée, chaudière 3,3kW. Bandeau télescopique, qui permet l’accès à un réservoir d’alimentation, et un réservoir de récupération (chaudière, et enceinte, donc vidange dans le bas de l’enceinte, c’est assez top). Joint d’enceinte caoutchouc, pour la rendre étanche, donc idem, T° Max 230°C en tradi.

DG/DGM : même enceinte, de 40L, prenant une logique de plat GN, même si je trouve qu’ils sont plutôt propriétaires en terme de format de plâterie. Vapeur réglable, réservoir type pichet enclenché sur le côté de l’enceinte, quand on ouvre la porte du four. Réservoir unique, donc alimentation et vidange. Le DGM a l’option micro-ondes en plus, mais on ne gagne pas financièrement à « packer », c’est vraiment le prix d’un vapeur 100% + le prix d’un micro-ondes encastrable.

Question besoins, quand on a deux élements, deux cas principaux chez nous :

« je ne veux pas de micro-ondes » : à ce moment-là, le four standard est un traditionnel pyrolyse, ou Hydracook (qui n’est en rien de la cuisson combinée vapeur, sauf peut-être sur les cuissons courtes, où il peut s’en rapprocher…) + un combiné vapeur de 45 cm. Le four principal, le plus complet devient alors le four de 45 cm, le four de tous les jours, ça tombe bien, il est à hauteur d’yeux, plus agréable à utiliser, monte plus vite en température, et peut tout cuire, se nettoie à la vapeur, parfait pour de l’entretien quotidien. Quand plus de monde à table, ou besoin de deux fours, je me sers du standard pour une rôtisserie longue par ex, ce qui libère mon 45cm pour faire tout le reste.

« j’ai absolument besoin d’un micro-ondes » : comme 85% des conso, c’est le taux d’équipement du micro-ondes en France, 3ème appareil derrière le réfri et le lave-linge. Les marques le savent et vous le font payer, surtout si vous voulez qu’il soit « assorti » au four, bien fait pour vous ! À ce moment-là, vous êtes sur un combiné vapeur de 60 cm si vous souhaitez de la vapeur, et vous prenez un micro-ondes simple. D’où la sortie du combiné vapeur de 60 cm, qui n’était historiquement que chez V-ZUG et le groupe AEG Electrolux, et depuis 2015 chez Miele, Bosch, Neff, etc…

Un four 100% vapeur ? C’est pas mal, on a la possibilité de régler la « température �� (en réalité l’apport insuflé depuis la chaudière) ce qui fait qu’au lieu d’agresser un aliment à 100°C, on cuit un peu plus longtemps à 80°C. La vapeur ne mélangeant pas les odeurs et les saveurs, on fait un peu de la bouffe de maison de retraite… Il faut assaisonner… Après, si l’on est curieux, on peut se lancer dans la cuisson sous vide, qui permet d’emprisonner un aliment assaisonné (moins pour le coup, car puissant !) et de la cuire à la vapeur, foie gras par ex. Mais au final, on est vite limité, alors qu’un combiné vapeur HC Pro, fait la même en chose en vapeur qu’en DG, mais peut faire du tradi, et les deux en même temps, sachant que chez Miele, en cuisson combiné, on règle la température de l’enceinte (on saisit ou l’on cuit doucement), et le niveau de vapeur (plus c’est gras, moins faut en mettre, ça protège la graisse qu’on préfère voir fondre)

Utilisation du micro-ondes ? très sincèrement, on connaît l’histoire, on a la discussion toutes les semaines… La seul chose qu’un micro-ondes sait faire de « mieux », c’est le bol de lait en 30s 900W de l’adolescent relou, qui ne veut pas salir de casserole. Car oui, votre table induction chauffe plus vite les liquides (question de Watts), et votre four réchauffe correctement vos restes, ou vos plats préparés à l’avance (d’ailleurs, un combi vapeur fait encore mieux !). En fait, les seuls arguments qui penchent vers le micro-ondes, sont l’ado relou, et le mari qui rentre le midi, et s’en fiche de manger tout ramoli, parce que de toute façon, le seul appareil qu’il touche dans une cuisine, c’est le micro-ondes. Enfin, argument de prix déjà évoqué, considérant la demande, un micro-ondes encastrable coûte extrêmement cher, pour la même prestation qu’un micro-ondes pose-libre chinois, vendu moins de 100 €, qu’on peut cacher derrière une porte lift, où arrière-cuisine, où que sais-je.

Pour conclure, mon conseil, si vous aimez cuisiner, et que vous flashez sur Miele, c’est de prendre un DGC HC Pro en 45 cm, et d’adapter à votre budget ou envie, un four tradi, voire hydracook.

S*x hotline AU

Please dont hate me

I woke up and yes, the first thing on my mind was an Au where Allen was a s*x hotline operator and Lavi called with little expectations and thinking he would laugh his ass off. He calls but he hears Allen’s voice and he’s more than flustered. Just before they actually start, Bookman interrupts them and Lavi acts his way out.

But then, Lavi discovers Allen is the popular sophomore on his university. He freaks out when he hears his voice in the hallways, and having a face for the memory doesnt help. Luckily or not, Allen doesn’t seem to remember his call. But Lavi doesn’t know Allen does remember his call: He hasn’t payed him yet. So when they’re matched to do a school project together, tension flies through the roof.

Its just a super silly idea, but then I thought: THIS CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY SHIP ON DGM.

Yulma? The funniest bit is to know why and how Kanda called in the first place. Lucky? Tikky has the smoothest lines just followed by derpy remarks that drive Lavi insane about his senior. Allena? Makes it more hilarious if Lena thinks Allen is just the sweet quiet freshman. Komubak? (Ok but Marie and Miranda would be so soft) Angel pair? Poker pair? Yullen? Yuvi? Do I really need to continue?

My writing skills are more than deficient, so someone who’s good at writing please me help me budget this.

(DGM AU)

I know I kept the interactions between these two to the Aftermaths mainly and then a ton in the Outtakes which I never published but I adore them so much. With the reveal of who past!Allen truly is my variant became fanon ... I adore this character I have created even though he is far from being canon anymore. I hope a few HCs I have will live on in the true Bookman Jr.

But whatever happens I have my small AU and I enjoy having these moments with the dolls of them.

[icharchivist]

@irisinally replied to your post “I am very sorry to have this sort of association but I am a weak...”

Now that we're making Dgm x esc... Who would be Allen, Lena and Kanda too? (maybe Alma too, Alma deserves happiness)

OHOH LET’S DISCUSS IT

tbh years ago when we discussed it the whole premise was... please let Nea set a piano on fire... You know he has it in him......

tbh so would Allen, he would set everything on fire.

Idk i think it’s more about which kind of presentation they would get. Like Lenalee I could see her with a ballad but with crazy accrobatism in heels that have everyone be “whaaat”

Kanda had been forced to participate and he didn’t want it so halfway through his song he gets irritated and starts to destroy the stage. It wasn’t planned but it gives specifically the sort of visual the Eurovision crowd wanted. Tiedoll mentors him in the Greenroom and had planned all his staging though, and Marie was helping with the music so they’re all upset but not surprised.

I feel like Lavi would do a soulless but popping popsong? Like, something just as fake as his smile in general, but that is such a bop you don’t realize it right away. Might also be linked to some mystical elements he snuck into the texts and visuals. Bookman actually calculated the entierety of Lavi’s performance. All he wants is to be better than Kanda and Allen because he holds a petty rivalry about raising Lavi better. 

Allen would go all out in his prestation, he would put EVERYTHING in his fashion (with the help of Johnny, his manager and stylist for the event). He knows how to manipulate the masses. and would eventually try to be a fair player but when some (Lavi) are annoying him he sneaks behind them in the Green Room to annoy the fuck out of them.

of course Alma gets to participate but tbh I could just see him with a very heartful and earnest song. Everyone gets very surprised when Kanda (who just destroyed half the stage) gets a focus on the camera where he just looks so foundly at Alma. Also Alma sneaks into Kanda’s spot in the green room and doesn’t let go and it is the least grumpy Kanda is for the whole evening.

Krory would be pushed by Timothy, Lavi and Allen, to do the Traditional Vampire Act of the evening. 

Miranda would sing a very nervous ballad and be completely freaked out by being on stage, obviously uncomfortable. She calms down only when Marie, sensing she was feeling unwell, came on the stage to play music to go along with her. 

Timothy is too young to participate so instead he crashes every Green Room’s interviews and try to have them focus on him. He stays closer to Allen’s and Krory’s boot in general though. 

Link... Honestly I think Link would want to do management stuff. I don’t know what sort of music he would do. Help in the Green Room and bring up to the public the points of the jury. that later obviously get him a lot of slack from the squad in the Green Room and there are a lot of insults. Link doesn’t even care. 

Komui is the presentator and Reever accompagnies him to try to moderate the evening. things don’t specifically go as planned because Komui decided to make an intermitance with a robot. Didn’t end well.

Lveille is part of the Jury because fuck him. He’s purposingly voting against our heroes to spite them.Euro-volution.

Also the Noah definitly decided to crash the party. 

The Jasdebi comes with a hardmetal emo song in which they can show off all their boundages stuff. Everyone is embarassed except for the Earl who is cheering for them very loud.

Also I could see the Earl with a very pumpy song, all cheerful and all, but when you listen the musics the lyrics are actually quite horrifying.

Road forced Tyki to wear the sexiest clothes she could put her hands on, while she was with the most frizzly lolita dress, and forced him on a duet with her because she decided the aesthetic would work better. Sheryl is torn between being happy for his good looking family and being upset she didn’t ask him for a part. 

Wisely ends up sneaking up with the presentators and start to interview the stars by specifically asking awkward question or expressing aloud their thoughts.

Lulu transformed into a cat and sneaked in the Green Room to avoid the embarassment.

Also Cross ends up crashing the party for the final act event, and arrives with a wonderful, pretty, expensive gown to the party. Allen starts to shiver when he realizes that Cross could only pay this dress with... a lot... of debts..... but Cross is determined to steal the show, bring out Maria as back up choir, and he puts everything on fire. except he planned it. And he set the dress on fire so we can’t bring it back to the store. Allen slowly died in the Green Room calculating how expensive Cross’s act was and how much he will have to pay, and Johnny had to try to bring him back to life. 

The ending gets ruined because Kanda ended up furious at Alma ending last that he cut down the cameras. 

sO THIS IS FOR THE STRONG OUTLINE FOR THAT AU IF YOU WILL ;O

[candy-crackpot]

This new volume cover with Allen's left hand is holding up the same pentagram that the Gatekeeper saw on his forehead when he first arrived to the Order,

Now in this volume it's as if Allen bestowes the same mark on Mana, as later Akuma Mana would.

It reminds me of a bible verse that more or less goes:

"I form light and I create darkness, I bring peace and I create evil, I, the Lord, do these things."

And this kind of plays into Road's words way back in the Rewinding Town.

We long suspect that the Innocence is sketchy, recent chapters even showcast some very meticulous manipulation. The Noah by no means "done nothing wrong" but it may be that the Pillar that destroyed their world made them this way, made it their fate to carry out this mission, to be the "darkness" so "light" can exist.

Maybe breaking the Earl and forcing him back on his mission is all neccessary so the Apocalypse take place and the Heart's Possessor may return once more by sacrificing Allen and Mana.
