"Better Late Than Never"

Since I will most likely never continue it because I have too many things to do right now, I'm posting the drawings I did so far.

These drawings were for an Inazuma Eleven Story I started to write called "Better Late Than Never", and it was about Edgar and Thiago, as well as Edgar's family and some cameos from Aaron Adams, Paolo Bianchi and Levin Murdoch.

I'm posting the parts I did there at last because, well, better late than never !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1 : The last match which was between England's Knights of Queen and Argentina's The Empire.

The only match that England managed to win, but at some costs...

Part 2 : The aftermath of the match.

Thiago was afraid to lose the one he actually loves. (Yes he finally realized it !)

Part 3 : Waking Up

Waking up to an awful nightmare about his younger sisters, but it may not be just a dream...

Part 4 : Finding Loreena

The only sister that managed to escape is the one that was supposedly dead in an airplane crash 10 years ago. Paolo finds her and brings her to safety.

Part 5 : Reunited after 10 years

The 2 siblings are finally reunited, but in a terrible way not gonna lie.

I guess the upcoming parts were gonna be saving the 2 remaining sisters. Honestly I didn't really know how to do those parts. And due to the fact that I had a lot of things to do (and still have to this day), I didn't work on it, so that's why I am at least putting them here because it's still a lot of work I've done back then.

DM me if you want to have the entire story that I've written for these parts : I will be happy to send it to you ☻

KOQ HCs: Gareth Barrett #2

Gareth and Friends:

Like I said, because of the low image he had of himself and his struggles at socializing, Gareth spent a huge chunk of his life lonely. But at least things didn't had to be so grim for him.

For example, as a child he soon befriended Clover Fortune, daughter of the family the Barretts served. She was slightly older than him, just by 2-3 years, but that didn't stop on them being very attached to each other. Having a superior similar on age meant an easy way of learning butler skills; but even if Gareth tried very hard to serve Clover she didn't like seeing their relationship as master-servant. In fact, despite not being related by blood nor documents, she considers him deeply as a younger brother.

Aside from the main mansion, Gareth would also have some opportunities to meet new faces; such as in one of the many parties done by the Fortune's and their contacts. Being given the very simple task of serving little pastries to the invitees, that night he stumbled upon a girl who would become his best friend, Sienna Hayley. Being of similar circumstances, the two bonded quickly as both desired to make friends. Since she was a fan of baking, the two soon developed the silly passtime of having tea parties together, even at local school of Oldfolk. The procedure was simple, Gareth would serve the food Sienna would make, giving his friend time to eat by herself. However in many occasions she also offered him to join in too, not wanting to see him just standing there "like a pillar". A bit unusual for a butler, but it at least made his friend happy. Plus, Sienna's muffins are the best!

However, not everyone seemed on par with this idea, as one day both friends were sorrounded by some other Oldfolk students who had no good intentions at all. While Gareth was ready to try and defend Sienna, soon the rascals were scared away by a mysterious jockey that appeared out of nowhere. His name was Dale, and while he didn't care much about the two nor their parties at first, he couldn't stand seeing injustice nearby. With the surprising offer from Sienna to join them in, soon Gareth made yet another friend.

But like shown before, Oldfolk school did not always bring him friends. Although Gareth wasn't a person to make enemies, his cold exterior would give others the wrong first impression. And plus, the closest thing to a rivarly he would had was with the child of the Rotten, Lance. Though it was mostly because the helmet boy often tended to act quite snarky to others, boasting about his ties to royalty, but also specially towards Gareth due to their shared knight naming motif. IN FACT, knowing the tragic fate of the knight Gareth at the hands of Lancelot, this often gave him a sense of superiority, constantly joking about it to the keeper. However, for better or worse, Lance is one of the few people Gareth's not afraid of standing up to.

Despite everything at least, their rivarly never went too far. Specially with both boys knowing a stuff like a fight could damage intensely both the reputation of the Rotten, the Fortunes, and the Barrett all at the same time. Besides, they found a better way to express their rivarly without much harm: Soccer. I'll talk about Gareth's entrance to this sport separately, but let's say that both players are always striving to be better than the other, and often tend to have 1v1s.

However, there's a strange factor that also tones down their shared tensions, and that is... Clover herself. Whenever she's nearby or when she spectates any of OF's soccer matches, Lance's bickering atitude towards Gareth is reduced exponentially. The butler assumes is because she's older and thus more intimidating, but there's times where he notices Lance often staring at her way too much. Just in case, he's keeping an eye on him.

Something I’m absolutely weeping and crying about that the games didn’t carry over from the anime was Beats little boxing gloves, like he’s not even a goalie, he’s a midfielder, imagine how funny it’d be to watch him play with boxing gloves

[itsbrucey]

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

Marcille is actually one of the biggest reasons it took so long to pinpoint which Chilchuck was the imposter in today’s episode.

The Senshi and Marcille imposters had their own reasons for being hard to decipher, but that was a joint effort on the party’s part. Chilchuck was the only example where a single member’s bias actually swayed the others so strongly that it made them all doubt themselves.

Ryouko Kui did an excellent job of giving us a rich background on how different races interact, and how they may descriminate against each other. Each of the races in this series struggles with these prejudices. Our main characters are not exempt from this, and we see it clearly in the way the shapeshifter manifested as each party member, showing us how the others percieve them.

Marcille knows Chilchuck well, and cares deeply for him as a friend. But she’s not immune to assumptions and biases that come from her elven background. The Chilchuck imposter we are faced with, when it’s down to two of them left, is Marcille’s memory of Chilchuck, Marcille’s perception of how he behaves.

One of the first manifestations of this bias occurs when shapeshifter Chilchuck can’t get a jar open.

The real Chilchuck knows that this would never happen—at least not in this way. Chilchuck is proud, yes, but he asks for Laios’ help all the time. Laios is actually one of the party members he is the most likely to ask help from, given how long they’ve known each other, and how much mutual trust exists between them.

However, the whole scenario isn’t right. Chilchuck wouldn’t give up so easily on opening something; his whole job is opening and unlocking things. He would never quit an attempt like this within 5 seconds, then run to Laios so that “big strong adult tall-man” can open it for him.

Marcille is the one who asks, “Huh? Why do you say that?” because Marcille is partially right. Chilchuck does rely on Laios, and Marcille knows this to be true. But she fails to realize how he relies on Laios.

Chilchuck respects many of Laios’ talents, but the most important ones are his combat skills, his emotional fortitude, and his quick thinking when delegating tasks. He trusts Laios as someone he is comfortable following (he literally said to him and Shuro in the last episode: “Laios!! Tell us what do!! Give us orders!!” when chimera Falin was quickly overpowering them).

So while Marcille almost understands Chilchuck’s confidence in Laios, she tends to accidentally infantilize him in the process.

She immediately believes that Chilchuck B (the imposter, who is specifically using her own memory as its base for Chilchuck’s personality) is the real one, and says so, because she’s blinded by her perception of him as being childlike and adorable because of the very common racial prejudices that half-foots deal with all the time.

She dotes on the imposter, and is open with her affections, as usual (again, her care for him is clear), but doubles down on that bias, on her own assumptions of Chilchuck’s behavior shown through her own lens.

And ultimately, Laios was able to tell the difference, but only because he watched how the Chilchucks handled other minute tasks. Marcille’s stance on which Chilchuck was real truly did throw the others for a loop, at least until the threat passed. And honestly, that’s part of what makes the shapeshifter so terrifying. Its strategy almost worked.

Partinus Family Headcanons (Christmas 2022 Special)

This one will contain OC’s. They are visible in the drawing below.

- Edgar has three siblings, more specifically three sisters ; he is the only boy among the children.

- He has a twin sister named Melody, and she was born before him, making her the oldest sibling.

- Loreena is a year younger than Edgar and Melody. Their last sister, Milly, was born seven years after Loreena.

- Their parents’ names are Finley and Victoria. Edgar’s second name, Arthur, comes from his uncle. Moreover, the children are said to look like their mother, as she also shares blue hair, with different tones. The only one that doesn’t share the same hair tone as their mother is Loreena, as the combination with Finley’s dark hair made her hair look darker than her siblings.

- They are really close with their cousins David and Elizabeth, nicknamed Lizzy by her family.

- Their parents were very loving, but they were always with their mother since their father was often away because of work.

- The family was happy until a plane crash occured and their sister Loreena went missing. She was believed to be dead (She was 3 and her siblings were 4).

- Despite all of that, they tried their best to live on with that loss. The parents were strong together.

- Unfortunately, one day, Victoria died some time after Milly was born, leaving her husband alone to take care of the three children.

- Since he was almost never home, he started to freak out as he thought he could never be able to do it alone without his wife. He thought he could do it one day with her, but she was gone way too soon...

- Finley lost his mind and ultimately decided to experiment on his children, starting with his only son Edgar. As he was taught to be a gentleman, he protected his sisters as he did not wanted his father to experiment and harm them, especially considering Milly was just a newborn.

- He got experimented on endlessly for an entire week. Thankfully, he was freed by his best friend Philip who was heavily worried of his absence. His family reacted quickly and brought the girls to safety. they were all alone when they find them, as their father was at work.

- Some time after that horrible discovery, Aaron Adams adopted the Partinus children. However, Melody was very distant and even mean to him.

- After everything that happened with her father (literally everything at once), Melody grew hateful and violent, the perfect opposite of her brother. She was even in really bad terms with Edgar. It was said by the doctors that it must be a trauma about her father’s doings that made her that way.

- What might be another proof of that “mental illness” is the fact that she always do different hairstyles everytime, showing her possible different levels of violence according to the doctors. She even smokes without her brother and foster father ; she said it helps her calm her nerves.

- She may seem hateful towards her twin brother, but in reality she loves him. Deep down Edgar knows that too, and he was never mad at her because he knew her condition. However, he can’t stand the fact that what his father did made her so different to the point of violence due to trauma.

- Loreena was taken care of by a loving family in Italy after she was found and saved by them from the crash.

- She doesn’t like her eye color ; she is envious of her siblings’ beautiful eyes.

- Loreena was the opposite of Melody ; she was pretty mean when she was young, but she grew a lot calmer over time.

- Edgar never thought at any second that she was dead, he kept on believing that she was safe wherever she was and that they would hopefully meet again one day.

- Despite her young age, Milly loves make up and stylish stuff.

- Their birthday dates :

Melody and Edgar : July 24th (Leo)

Loreena : November 20th (Scorpio)

Milly : March 1st (Pisces)

Elizabeth : May 17th (Taurus) {She shares the same birthday as Byron Love)

David : March 3rd (Pisces)

Aaron : December 17th

- Not all family members play football : Edgar plays as a forward, for the others :

Melody : Defender (n°3)

Loreena : Defender (n°2) and Manager

David : None (He doesn’t play football but he loves watching his family playing football.)

Elizabeth : Midfielder (n°16) and Manager of Knights of Queen

- Edgar taught Excalibur to Elizabeth.

- Melody wants to be a Math Teacher when she grow up.

- Both twins are Demi : Edgar is a Demiboy whereas Melody is a Demigirl.

- Since she lives in Italy for quite some time, Loreena really like the Italian team too. She even fell in love with one of their members, Raffaele Generani.

- Melody, on the other hand, fell in love with Joseph King’s brother James.

- Edgar has different relationships throughout his life :

He was with Thiago for a year.

He was with Sue but it didn’t last long because of their opposite personalities.

He stayed with Camellia for a fairly good amount of time.

He ultimately ended up with a woman named Elieth who is also from England. (She is German too !)

-Their mother got their first children at a fairly young age : She was 21 when she had Edgar and Melody, and she had Loreena a year later. However, she met her demise a few moments after giving birth to Milly. Which unfortunately means that she died way too soon, being only 29 years old. Moreover, she was born on February 3rd.

- Some of the IRL football players exists in this world too. Harry Kane exists in this world and he was like a mentor to Edgar. It was also him that helped him come back to football after what happened to his father. Considering Aaron Adams had a lot to deal with those 3 children and training the children, Harry often took care of Edgar and that made him better and give him more confidence about his capacities. He is like an idol to Edgar. Harry saw his younger self in Edgar too. People even associated a song for their relationship since Harry helped Edgar to get through this “shadow of him” ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_FkM0S-PgY&ab_channel=lyricmaker102 

- Because of her mental illness, Melody can also be rude and violent towards her cousins, but also towards Harry Kane. But since they know about her condition, they don’t reply or do anything, otherwise this could be worse.

- Their heights and weights :

Edgar : 5′6″ (166cm) and 101lbs (46kg) ~~~as a 14 years old.

Melody : 5′3″ (160cm) and 112lbs (51kg) ~~~as a 14 years old.

Loreena : 5′1″ (153cm) and 93lbs (42kg) ~~~as a 13 years old.

Milly : 3′10″ (116cm) and 46lbs (21kg) ~~~as a 6 years old.

David : 5′8″ (173cm) and 137lbs (62kg) ~~~as a 16 years old.

Elizabeth 5′0″ (150cm) and 104lbs (47kg) ~~~as a 13 years old.

Aaron :  5′10″ (178cm) and 159lbs (72kg) ~~~as a 39 years old.

[thewisecheerio]

Based on the INT requirements for the sorceries they can cast, Rennala and Rellana are canonically two of the most intelligent characters in Elden Ring. And the fact that they both fell for unhinged, genocidal redheads is proof that intelligence is not the same as wisdom.

KOQ HCs: Gareth Barrett #1

Background info on Gareth. My emo butler boy (? <3

(Experimenting with a different type of format than the typical bullet list I tend to use here. Mentions few OCs.)

The Barretts carry a very interesting legacy when it comes to their servitude. In the past, it was even rumored they helped to serve the royals themselves. In actual times however, the family has decided to step down a bit, although still within the world of the privileged.

Currently, they reside on the simple village of Oldfolk, located within the english plains. Despite its lack of fame, it is still the residing place for many wealthy families at their mansions; including the Fortune. The current family the Barrett serve.

Gareth's father, Gawain, is the main butler of the house, helping to lead the other servants and organize events. He's aware that the role of a butler is losing more and more importance in the modern world, but he still tries to hold on the history his family carries. At least he can rely on his wife Liz to help him out.

Though she also has her fair share of controversies, being originally the maid of the Rotten, a nearby household. Their first meeting is attributed to a party both families attended a long while ago, plus some random encounters they had on Oldfolk down below. With time, the attraction they had became way too apparent to hide, and it led to a discussion over what would be their future together. After talking about it, Liz decided to move and live with her lover's family; a choice that was accepted by the Rotten although with some tension. Nonetheless, things went quite good enough, and later on the maid was also given a little temporal residence on Oldfolk as to take care of their newborn.

...Gareth, Gawain... Yeah, the motif is a bit notorious. Gawain himself claims his birth name was simply a regular choice with nothing behind it, but it did inspire Liz when thinking about baby boy names. Gareth himself doesn't mind nor care about being named after a round table knight; though things could later get tense as he had to convive at school with another boy also with a similar motif.

The little butler's childhood was quite decent, actually, living peacefully with his mother in Oldfolk. However once he was old enough, Gawain convinced his wife to start bringing Gareth to the Fortune mansion, as for him to know and maybe learn in the future about the way of life of the Barrett. A strange choice, but something that had been normalized in the family. Until now, none of the male members had even refused the offer of being a butler for the rest of their lives. Would this be any different?

Gareth's raising as a butler was pretty simple at first. He was given very easy tasks, such as organizing little places, tiding up clothes, cleaning one room at a time... If he ever felt in need for help, Liz was always there to help him. Gawain preffered to give him space instead, a way for him to learn, but it did cause some distance between father and son.

Overall, Gareth's relationship with his parents (and the Fortune elders) was so and so. He never had any feelings of dislike for them, but as he was growing into teen years he started to feel a little distaste for the future butler life. Sure, it did give him very good skills on life -and a huge attention for cleaniness and detail-, but the though of him spending life inside a mansion's walls felt... Overwhelming.

Whenever he visited Oldfolk's village, his day always got better. It was such a small, simple place, yet it always gave him a sense of wonder and curiosity. The world outside the Fortune mansion was so big, and he himself wondered if he could go one day and see it properly...

And besides freedom, Gareth also soon started to crave friendships. Even if both Oldfolk village AND school gave him opportunities to meet new people, he struggled a lot on social skills, specially when putting his feelings into words. To make this worse, a strange belief his father would impose of him is that "If possible, don't stand out too much. The butler's thoughts shouldn't matter much". An unfortunate toxic mentality that made Gareth be even nervous on speaking out at times. But honestly, seeing the other kids playing together while laughing gave him a saddening jealously...

Fortunately worry not, he at least has the current Fortune heir to give him company. He'll also meet other people too in the future and even more thanks to soccer, but uh... Let's end this here.

------

CLARIFICATION: Gareth's name written in japanese is ギャレス (Gyaresu), while the knight!Gareth's name is ガレス (Garesu). This means that these two "Gareth"s are completely different (as names), and the reserve keeper was not named after the legendary figure. However, I still wanted to put the idea here because... This is Knights of Queen, DUHHHH-

I wanted more knight references (?)
