Guide to the Bravern Flower Shop Verse

Posting this for archiving purposes and for future/new fans who won't experience any of this live (or maybe ever, if Twitter breaks) just encounter it as older, out of context fanart on Pixiv or social media.

So. If you’ve ever looked up Japanese Bravern fanart (or fanfic) on either Pixiv or Twitter you must have stumbled upon a certain flowershop AU. It’s official (made and named by the staff, got referred to as such in the 2nd talkshow apparently) and it’s called 花屋バース. Details with links under the cut!

The contributors

Kamokamen, original/main character designer (Twitter @ sangsilnoh)

Oobari Masami, director (Twitter @ G1_BARI)

Ura Ryuuta, chief animation director (Twitter @ matatabeat)

The origins

"happy new episode release" bonus arts by the main character designer

and their two Yotsuba&! joke tweets:

Isami works at a flower shop called Brave Flower

Smith is the single father of the "mysterious girl" Lulu who is in kindergarten

This spiraled into a whole AU that has Actual Lore because the staff kept adding to it.

My main sources were 2 different tweet compilations made by Japanese fans and the very broken Twitter search. I got into the fandom when Episode 9 aired (before that I was just watching the show weekly and nothing else) so backsourcing all of this was not easy, and unfortunately I can’t guarantee this post has every relevant tweet. For example I found nothing about Smith’s job. It might exist, it might not, who knows. But the staff was very clear that they just wanted everyone to have fun coming up with ideas when they were tweeting about Bravern-the-character.

Isami & Bravern

- Isami and Bravern drive a motorcycle with a sidecar (ART!) called Brave Thunder

- according to the director Bravern wears a helmet

- Bravern exists in that miniature form which was designed by the director, completely unexplained (first appearance of "easy-to-draw Bravern-kun" | official plushie version which he brought to the 3rd talkshow | non-flowershop AU maid uniform update! also designed by him | "bunny day" update)

(T/N: this is not actual canon, but in the Animedia (May issue) interview’s Q&A section the director said Isami has the impression of someone who has a much older brother who passed away when he was young. JP fandom said nope this is the happy AU so he’s alive)

Smith & Lulu

- Smith and Lulu drive a "granny bike" called Spar Kaiser

- Lulu's seat is a child bike seat dubbed "co-pilot seat"

(T/N: answering a fan’s question, the character designer who designed Smith’s weird shirts once tweeted he’s probably using a translator app to scan the text on them.)

Other characters

- as far as I know there’s no "official" flowershop AU version of Superbia

- some time ago the director made a miniature design for him as well, but people usually draw Superbia in a humanoid form in this AU which was designed by the character designer

(T/N: not flowershop AU related, but Superbia speaks in Hiroshima dialect.)

- Miyu has a moped (a modified old Honda Super Cub) and she rides around town with Hibiki to get McDonald’s

(T/N: also not flowershop AU related, but Hibiki considers Isami a younger brother, according to the 3rd talkshow reports.)

- Satake was Isami's homeroom teacher and he was the one who taught him how to properly ride a motorcycle

- it was due to Satake’s influence that Isami chose an American-style Japanese bike which he bought secondhand for cheap for the fun of repairing and customizing it

(T/N: the tweet linked above is from March, but at the 3rd staff talkshow we learned that Satake’s bike in canon is a Honda CBR250RR. At the 2nd talkshow the staff said he gives off the impression of being a good cook, and the director shared he must be single because of the bike & red jacket combo.)

ADD ALT TEXT if you share this on other sites as screenshots. I genuinely can't be assed to care about credit, but I care a lot about accessibility.

I’m collecting the interviews and talkshow fan reports, and I'm also reading Lulu’s spinoff novel so eventually I’ll post summaries of those. (Unfortunately I don’t have time to do more than summaries.) In the meantime you guys could MTL this collab café report/article if you're interested! (I checked googletranslate and it’s readable)

sorry im emotonal and going off of the other asks sent about machete and just i need to stress how beautiful it is to me that machete sees himself so undeserving of love and affection and feeling as if vasco's too good for him but despite all that he is so incredibly devoted to vasco and loving towards him (in his own way) but is so incredibly clear to anyone with eyes that just how in love he is with vasco. like it's not done out of a "oh god please never realize that you're too good for me here here let me overdo it with the affection" its done with the "i love you, and will always love you, no matter what happens to us or separates us, and i will give it to you as long as i am able, and if you ever leave, i won't be okay, but will still love you, and want you happy". like he doesn't use his own feelings of being undeserving taint his love or the way he loves for vasco, and it's so, so beautiful

Slime Girl September!

A brief re-introduction. Slime Girl September is a Themed Art Month/Challenge, where I attempt to draw and post a slime girl everyday for the month of September. Just like last year if there are any slime girls that you know of that you'd like me to draw(including your OCs), let me know

i think dinostar is such an interesting ship right now even if i've kind of turned away from it after this season. the problem is that it's complicated, and fandoms historically don't like nuanced situations or takes. i don't think it's fair to say darius is putting brooklynn on a pedestal, since from his perspective, she hasn't done anything wrong, and kenji has been framed as this unfair partner to her. it does feel like his feelings are very immature and more of an infatuation right now ("if he loved you half as much.."/"unless?"), especially when you compare them to kenji's own feelings for brooklynn - his girlfriend who he's loved for 6 years - but that isn't a horrible thing, it's just different. i do completely understand if people dislike the ship right now, and even criticize darius' way of handling the accidental confession, but i just think people have been way too harsh on all three of them without being willing to see that all of their perspectives are different

FINISHED WATCHING MHA MOVIE 2: HEROES RISING!!! SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED IT

OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD YO HOLY FUCK I LOVE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAA

This was truly My Bakudeku Academia. Watching that final battle felt like a religious experience- as if I was watching the birth of Christ. Holy fuck if that really was the original ending, with Deku passing OFA to Kacchan, and the whole "Oh it actually stayed with Deku and Bkg got amnesia" didn't happen, this would have been a dramatically different story moving forward.

Horikoshi really loves Bakugou- like absolutely no question. The story following this kind of ending would be about him continuing OFA's legacy with the guilt of a thousand suns on his shoulders for "taking away" Izuku's dream. Izuku would have continued the hero course as an actual quirkless student. I would love to see aus of this being canon and continuing their story from there.

I'm guessing Nine here was supposed to be AFO, and he would basically be gone too. Katsuma is perfectly set up to be the next protagonist (I can already imagine him using Cell Regeneration as Super Regeneration- he could become invincible while also healing others. Incredibly amazing quirk).

NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT I HAD WAS ADDRESSED. THE REST OF THE CLASS ACTUALLY DO FEEL STRONG AND USEFUL AND EVERYTHING AS SHIT I LOVE IT AAAAAAAA

YES MY GIRL OCHAKO FINALLY HAS HER BIG MOMENT FLOATING SO MUCH DEBRIS!!! I'M SO HAPPY- EVEN JIRO, AOYAMA, SHOJI, TOKOYAMI AND MORE HAD LEGIT GOOD SCENES AND FIGHTS I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH THEY ARE SOOO COOLLLLL THEY GENUINELY GAVE IT THEIR ALL FUCK YEAHHHHH

(note. THAT WOLF GUY CALLED SHOJI UGLY- A FELLOW HETEROMORPH, CUS HE WAS PROJECTING HIS "MONSTER" ISSUES ON HIM HOW FUCKING DARE YOUUUUU)

THEY ALSO MAKE IT ACTUALLY MAKE MORE SENSE HOW THE WHOLE CLASS IS SEPARATED ON AN ISLAND TOGETHER AS A WHOLE CLASS THIS TIME TOO (and not just half like last movie). They even managed to tie it in to AFO, the LoV, and Hero Society. Like it actually feels more grounded and reasonable why the class would be here alone with supervision.

They even add hints of Touya Todoroki with him having a short battle with Endeavor, Hawks spying in the LoV, the HSPC head cameo, and other little things too. Man I loved this fucking movie I would watch it 10 more times right now.

Tips for jealousy? I'm monogamous and the thought of my spouse being attracted to others makes me feel physically ill. Please don't be mean. I'm really struggling. I feel like I have ptsd. I need help. I don't know how to get through this. I don't think I can afford therapy. I discovered they watch porn and follow a lot of sex workers and they admitted they are attracted to many others. I had no idea. We've been together a long time. I don't want to leave them but I also don't know if I can stay if I can't stop feeling this way. I feel so bad all the time. It's been months and I'm not getting any better mentally. I'm crying all the time. I get triggered all the time when I see certain things. I don't know what to do. I love them and believe they love me. But I just can't seem to get over this.

Hey friend. It sounds like you're really struggling. Much more than what I would consider normal even for someone who is strictly monogamous. I'm really sorry it's so much for you🫂.

I'm no doctor, but that sounds like there might be a LOT of really unwarranted anxiety. If therapy isn't an option (though you should look around for places with sliding scale fees), maybe you could talk to a doctor about medication? Those are usually cheaper, and I do think you need more help than I can give.

In the meantime, here's what I can do:

I want to emphasize that your partner probably thinks nothing of being attracted to others. It is normal and involuntary. It probably didn't even occur to them it might not feel great to you until you said something. There is no betrayal in their heart, and it in no way diminishes their love for you.

While it may be reasonable to ask for certain accommodations here, it sounds like even the thought that your spouse could be attracted to anyone else is devastating for you. And they are actually, physiologically incapable of changing that. They can not mention it to you, if that would help (Give real thought to if it would, and if the answer is yes, ask it of your spouse immediately). They might be willing to cut back on how many sex workers they follow, if that would help. But they cannot promise to only have eyes for you, even if they wanted to. So this will require a lot of work on your part no matter how you slice it. It will likely continue to cause you discomfort for years to come, and because it is so normal and involuntary, I think you will have a hard time finding anyone who NEVER is attracted to anyone else, if you even do leave your spouse over it.

I have had the most progress when I have been able to really sit with my feelings, and get down to root worries. I think this worksheet does a great job breaking down how to do this with jealousy and insecurity. I highly recommend you sit down with it, with a pen and paper, and commit a 🕐lot🕑 of🕟 time🕕 to it, in multiple sessions.

That should give you a good starting point, but it will take a lot of applying that worksheet to your daily life. It will take time. It take consistency from you. It will be hard. But I believe you can do it, and find a way forward that works for you. Buckle down, sending you all the luck I can. 🍀🧧

lol not me crying because someone from my program texted me to ask how i was doing and that they hadn't seen me around in a while

[kindnessoverperfection]

ADHD really does put everything at equal levels of importance, huh? Like I'll have an email I need to write that'll take maybe 10 minutes, and getting that done will alleviate 6 months of stress. Then I'll notice a sock on the floor I need to put away. Then I'll get the strong conviction that it's up to me to cure cancer. And my brain will tell me that I need to do all of them at once, start and finish them all in the time span of 0 seconds, and my executive dysfunction will throw up its hands and do none of the above.

🦵🦵🥩🥩💔💔

hi, thanks for the ask!

🦵 - 6 sentences of the leg pain fic!

“I can see it in your face, Evan.” Tommy narrows his eyes. “What did we just talk about?” he sighs with a small eye roll, but it’s more fondly exasperated than anything else. Buck noticed by now how Tommy seems endeared even by the most annoying qualities of him, and it still amazes him. “How bad is it?” He repeats, voice soft and patient, just like he always is.

🥩 - 6 (or 7 lol) sentences of the barbecue fic

I'm introducing a couple ocs in this fic so any new names are just tommy's friends lol - also this video was the inspiration for this whole fic btw

 Buck’s mid-conversation with Karen and Alex, when he notices something in the corner of his eye, and his eyes are drawn to his boyfriend. Because Tommy, his gorgeous, hot, beautiful man, who’s currently standing at the grill and preparing food for everyone, decides it’d be a good idea to take off his t-shirt and tuck it into the back of his shorts. Buck’s mouth goes dry – he should be used to this sight by now, but every time it gets him like he’s seeing him for the first time ever. He stops paying attention to the conversation, already taking steps towards his boyfriend. “Hey, babe, you want a fresh beer?” Buck yells, ignoring the half-full bottle still in Tommy’s hand. Tommy looks down at the bottle, too, then at Buck, an amused smile on his face. “I’ll get you a fresh beer,” he decides, stepping into the house so quickly he nearly trips over his own feet.

💔 - 6 sentences of the cheating fic (reminder that they're not great people in this fic, and it's ooc, and idgaf haha)

It’s only when he wakes up, in Eddie’s bed, in Eddie’s clothes, with Eddie wrapped around him, that it hits him what he’s done. He’s really outdone himself this time, and he’s never felt shittier. Last night was amazing, of course it was, and it came with a new realization – that this thing with Eddie, this… this affair, or whatever the hell they’ve been doing, this isn’t just physical. How can it be? It’s Eddie. He should’ve realized earlier, after it happened that first, drunken night, and couldn’t bring himself to stop doing it again – in fact, he wanted it to happen, he couldn’t stop thinking about doing it again – despite having a girlfriend, who does not deserve this shit.

hey do you remember any cgs where it had ace and david (and maybe other people idr) holding a card with ace looking to the left and being cocky and david kind of being apprehensive? i found it in a gif but even though i thumbed through every episode i can't seem to find it...

i think you're probably thinking of this one? you can't get Ace being cocky on screen at the same time as David (without editing) but he is cocky and holding the card right before this. here's a link to the episode/timecode.

I feel like the first time Camila tells Vee she loves her, Vee is just going to immediately start sobbing hysterically. Both because nobody’s ever loved her before—especially not anyone like a parent—and because IMMEDIATE guilt spiral of “But I’m not her real daughter or her real anything, and I Can’t Be That, Either”

🥺

yeah....

shoutout to AU vee and luz for both being like "i can't be camila's daughter, i'm not good enough" except for Wildly different reasons.

vee is like not only can i not BE your real daughter, but i hate your real daughter's guts. and camila isn't even Angry with her about it. she's just like baby i'm so sorry she hurt you. anything you need, i'm here

and vee is like. what have i DONE to TRICK YOU into being this nice to me. i'm just gonna. crawl into your lap and bawl now....

i know i've posted abt this before also but i did not have screenshots to demonstrate just HOW gently passive aggressive ingo is to volo when they talk. i have no idea if they intended it this way but he sounds so "sadly my strict standard of conduct will not let me tell you to fuck off for asking weirdly personal questions just so you can share your theories but with the subtext toolkit available to me i am VERY much shooing you out of the way so i can get back to what i was actually trying to do."
