#i have thought a lot ab them

[just-a-dinosaur-i-guess]

do all the characters have dragons? are they dragons? what does a world with dragons look like? i want to know more

okay so!! this specifically is an au where abilities are dragons (but i will probably make an au later where they are dragons, i enjoy designing creatures <3)!

it's fairly httyd inspired because i really love httyd, so it's not modern, though.. maybe that'll be a seperate au later haha

BUT!! for this au specifically, there is a focus on dragon racing in the main plot; atsushi gets roped into joining the twilight agency (aka the ada here) when it turns out the dragon that he thinks has been chasing him is actually one he bonded with when it was little, it got seperated from him, and then went to find him again.

the twilight agency both races and investigates suspicious going ons and possible cheating in said races! i didn't finish up organizing the google doc, i'll admit, so i don't have everyone's roles written down, but:

atsushi and juni'chiro tend to race most often, ranpo is one of their usual investigators (ranpo claims to have a small feathered wyvern, but.. it is actually a golden eagle that fukuzawa gave him as a baby in that universe's version of untold origins), and they have clerks as well (naomi and haruno, though naomi races too when her brother can't, due to the fact that their dragon listens to both of them).

the night wardens are heavily involved in seaside transactions, transports when needed.. and cheating, it’s rumored, although no one can find any proof. they race too, though they did lose their BEST racers a while ago (those being the flags).

mori himself doesn't have a racing dragon. in fact, his dragon elise is more akin to a very, very cranky chihuahua crossed with the dangerousness of a poison dart frog. she's tiny, bad tempered for nearly everyone, venomous, has sharp claws, among other things.

those are the two organizations i have figured out the most ^^

but for how the world actually looks, that's a fun question!!

i've always really loved the design of berk revamped to fit the dragons :P so something like that, but yokohama

(i couldn't find any other good imgs </3)

the twilight agency's building has a stable for the dragons, the port has plenty of places to put (or hide, if you're tachihara michizo and your brother's dragon has just tracked you down and won't leave despite how much you tell it to) dragons.

one BIG change is that the moby dick is now a dragon; a giant, very old one who despite this is tasked with carrying the guild around. at the end of the arc it and melville disappear to finally actually retire.

i'm not entirely sure how accurately the arcs play out, though i know it's not.. too different, i think? i'm still working on it!

ty for the ask! <3

Another thoughts about ch 23b and some hopes for the future

“What the hell is this?”

I wonder the same thing, dear.

“I’m all screwed up…!!”

I don't know how to understand Hirano's last thought, is he saying he's screwed because he is admitting that he has feelings for Kagi or because he's so deep in this thing that he can't see how to get out without hurting himself or Kagi in the process?

"But i've realized…Just thinking isn't enough to let me decide"

Hirano saying it is no longer enough just to think about it to make a decision... Is this a statement that the 10 sec of touches are no longer useful to him? Can we get our hopes up and think that he wants to try other things? Maybe not just an innocent touch of hands?

I want to believe that from now on, they will begin to explore more flirtations and intimacy between them (yes, even more), leaving aside a little bit the 10 seconds rule that fell short for both of them, and that we will see more BL development (as our dear author called it).

After reading and rereading the chapter, that phrase keeps haunting me (1), and it makes me hopeful that maybe Hirano's confusion/indecision comes from the fact that he reacts (unconsciously) more to emotion that manage to enter in that dense head of his than to physical contact and this deal they have has given him no major clues as to whether he can see our beloved basketball player as his boyfriend (I think he really only reacts to Kagi's reactions. Not to the touches themselves, not to what people around him say, only to what Kagi communicates to him, only to what Kagi says to him verbally or paraverbally).

Although when I was thinking about it I had forgotten a panel: when Hirano questions why he wanted to pet Kagi's hair and restrains himself.

So, he's not sooo foreign to touch, perhaps the problem is what kind of touch he knows and how he classifies it as a romantic touch. 

Initially he didn't want hugs, he considers them too intimate, but despite that he has never had a problem with all the times Kagi has pinning him (that is, Kagi to eat from his dango leans towards him, to make him feel if he has a fever he leans over him, and a few other times).

Or, maybe there's an issue with how Hirano interprets the touches, and how he assign the intention according to the context (or how he gets lost in the context). I mean, he allows him to put the earrings on him, or the lap pillow thing, or that they're always glued to each other, invading each other's personal space... isn't that something tremendously intimate per se?

It calls my attention by how in this chapter he doesn't show even the slightest bit of rejection to Kagi's clearly intimate closeness, where he only gets angry because Kagi doesn't look happy and not because he touching him, pushes him against the wall and tries to kiss him (impossible for him not to have thought about it with how close he was to his lips).

But, while so far he has been practically indifferent to the touches (not even a blush in front of Kagi after they almost kissed), the question now is how it will impact on him to have directly felt Kagi's racing heart, if in ch 20, only Kagi's look made him understand that all that passion was focused on him, what effect will it have to feel with his own hand the heat and beats of Kagi's heart focused 100% on him?

I keep my hopes high for the next chapters, since Hirano says that just thinking about it is not enough to make a decision, can we expect the deal to change and try to have a lovers experience closer to reality (maybe try to have a date? I need them to try dating), While it seems to me that the boundaries could be more relaxed, I still don't think he will let himself be kissed right now, but I do think the next moves will be initiated by Hirano, which I'm sure will continue to fall little by little until he himself, in a fit of impulsiveness, kisses Kagi.

At least in this chapter we got to see part of what he's thinking.

After his consideration of being someone else's next, I think this may arouse Hirano's curiosity about Kagi's love past.

I would love to see him ask him directly if he has had girlfriends/boyfriends and have Kagi confess to him that the lap pillow was a test to find out how he really felt about him since it was something he did with his ex, and then Hirano thinking what action would be useful for him to be able to define if that love is a romantic love ( and also what else Kagi will have done with his exes).

Another thing that fascinates me is how amusing Hirano's contradictions are: on the one hand he dismisses what Miyano says.

But on the other, he wants to keep trying. It's like he doesn't want to acknowledge that he loves him, but he's willing to try to love him (if that makes any sense), and also he doesn't want to monopolize Kagi's time, but at the same time he does want to. That poor head is a mess!

And there is an important difference in his reactions. While in ch 20 he tries to escape Kagi's hug (I love the whole scene), in ch 23 he doesn't make any gesture to push him away when he's obviously about to kiss him (and in manga's time it's been like two weeks apart). I don't think it really bothered him.

Also interesting is the late reaction that he always shows in front of Kagi, since only after shouting everything (thank goodness Hansawa wasn't in the next room), and only when he doesn't see him, is when he reflects and blushes just like in ch 17.

It's as if with Kagi present he has a extremely limited atention and can't see anything else or suppress anything. And in the end he sees him so brightly, it's as if he is dazzled by him and his actions every time he sees him.

About the next chapters I still don't have much idea of what will come (since how after chapter 20 Harusono surprised us with the whole date thing that we never saw coming, it's not very clear to me where the story will go), so maybe it's time to show us Ogasawara's date (which he agreed to go because he was in the middle of his gay panic) so that Hirano begins to understand how lovers behave and consciously or unconsciously replicate those behaviors.

It would be so funny if the date with Ogasawara ended up being a group date, with Eimi bringing some friends (of course, if Ogasawara can bring reinforcements, she has all the right to bring her friends). I see Sasaki listless in a corner, half asleep probably thinking about Miyano, Hirano comparing anyone to Kagi (how is he not comfortable without him, how Kagi would be happy eating a lot, taking the fries off his plate, and probably would like to go to the arcade...) and Hanzawa with his poker face while Ogasawara happily fixing things with his girlfriend.

I still believe that Sasaki is going to help Hirano discover his feelings (from what they mention in the ch 15 of ssmy), so hopefully he can help him get his feelings in order soon.

Although sometimes I get swallowed up by the negativity (and the over-analyses of KGHR's crumbs in ssmy that populate my daily thoughts) and I get the idea that they won't be together so quickly, even though in the last few chapters we've seen such a huge progress in such a short time of their timeline, but in ssmy there are panels that make me think that they won't be a couple so fast (I think there's still moderate angst left in this story, unfortunately for me).

On another topic, I still want to see:

🏀 Kagi's reaction to Hirano's black hair and that he's not wearing the earrings at the end of the school year.

🐉 Hirano with his black hair in Harusono's current art style (I live for this, I know I'll frame those panels).

🏐🏀 And if we'll ever get to see the Interclass Ball Games that never seem to come.

I don't want to calculate how many months or even years in real life we ​​have to wait until we see a kiss between them.

Btw, what happened to the hand cream? Was it in the bag? Maybe that date/non-date part is one of the extras in vol 5. anyway i'd rather they didn't show us this “date” (even though we were waiting for it for a year!!!), since it wasn't really a date.

Am I the only one who, based on the development of this chapter and the progress between them, thinks that this could be the chapter that closes volume 5? Crossing my fingers to have volume 5 during this year 🤞

Idea I've had for a while: Douglas essentially using Marcus as a service dog

[scarletlight-has-issues]

Okay so I've held onto this one for quite a while bc I was self-conscious ab my art style and how it doesn't look nearly as good as a ton of other prohibited wish artists on here but I think it's time to share it-

I had this idea in my head and I just needed to get it out sooo um.

Sorry for the pain

Also I was testing out how I draw maskless Scarab (which is partially inspired by the INCREDIBLE @time-woods's design for their Carma sorry for the @ I just wanted to credit you for the inspo- btw) so it's changed a bit since I drew this bc Ive gotten more used to drawing him-

I have a ton more art in my backlog I'm just,,, self-conscious lol. trying to get better-

PLEASE [tumblr] fix the quality when I post this bc it looks like ass in the editor as Im looking at it rn

WHOS the yellowblood w the blacked out eyes in yr header so i can go thru their tag

That would be Bronte Voltej !

Bronte Vultej (she/they/ze) was a troll with renound psionics and a rebellious nature, but not enough gut to act on it. She stayed in a lowblood neighborhood, and helped out with local shops. Life was very good until a turf battle occurred in the town between loyalists and rebels. It was a very violent experience, and Bronte was caught in the crossfire. With all the chaos and distress, plus the violence she would inevitably get caught up in, their psionics went off with a bang, in a very literal sense. Zer psionics caught onto the nearby transformer, and executed a chain reaction to every transformer connected to the telephone lines.

Zey wake up disoriented, short circuiting, and with only the barest form of psionics keeping them alive despite what is, essentially void rot minus the rot. On top of this, she loses all of the memories of their former life. Bronte Vultej eats batteries to feed the psionics in her body, and has physical subconscious jerks + a stutter due to the physical trauma.

And here is the bull himself >:)

+ lore notes

I was like, ah I should make the shadow something interesting, and then I'm like GIVE HIM BULL HORNS???? OKAY SURE !!!!! I'm glad such thoughts can strike at 7 in the morning....thanks brain. But hehehe I'm glad bcs now this matches up super well with the Nando one!

New ship dynamic: who's the bull and who's the matador :)

I think, in this AU, Fernando is generally pretty fond of Seb when he first meets him. Like "ah yes my very own protégé, very nice, I shall mold him in my image." But then Seb starts veering off that course. Bullfighting is all about being dramatic, but Seb maybe has a bit too much(🤏) flair for the dramatic. This escalation starts while he's still Fernando's assistant but he keeps it generally at bay. But god when he becomes a matador himself, he's just off the rails insane.

Bullfighting, to me, is a sport about reckless endangerment of one's self in the pursuit of drama and performance(its literally described as a tragedy in three acts.) But Fernando thinks Seb endangers himself *too* much, not because he cares or anything, but he's making a mockery of the sport!! Especially when Seb starts doing that bull hand symbol(seen above), Fernando just keeps become more enraged with him, not anything to do with the fact that Seb is threatening his records and threatening his own wellbeing, nah of course not.

Seb's gesture is making a mockery of the sport, he's disrespecting the culture, the very nature of it, blah blah blah. Jenson once asks Fernando, after noticing him seething while watching Seb do his gesture, "Which bull are you really trying to defeat?" One could also describe Fernando and Seb's relationship as a "tragedy with three acts."

Anyways Fernando gets very tied up with this rivalry. Even after suffering a severe injury(I have yet to decide, but y'know mchonda electrocution core), he quickly returns to the sport, loath to let Seb get any more headway. And then Seb gets injured, poor little sweet Seb, and neither of them can handle it. Though I already covered this in my prev lore post 🤭 and I think I put it pretty viscerally there so!! I digress.

They're both matadors, but the bull itself is not the only bull Fernando wants to conquer. Conquer as in death? Hm.

[s4pphoiduser]

in a world with an aftg show (because it Has to be a show, not a movie) seth would have a Pretty Guy actor playing him who looked even prettier when he was sneering or scowling and people would make edits of him with the velocity + slo-mo effects and be like "i can fix him"

[tsukasalover]

ive been thinking more abt different pjsk characters recently (specifically emu kanade and mizuki because i like them a Lot) because 1. i genuinely just want to get. A better understanding of them and love them and 2. I keep hearing tsukasa saying different things in my head from different event + card stories and it’s getting On my Nerves. He’s great but his fans annoy me so badly and he can be a pain in the butt sometimes (doesn’t mean i love him any less but still)
