Namalin
Namari x Falin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Easy short rarepair spotlight post for prosperity~ This one I didnā€™t think of on my own for once, I donā€™t know if itā€™s just I forgot the decided-on ship name or what but I remember seeing really nice art and a couple posts about it that I canā€™t find again šŸ’” Namalin warrior you are out there and not forgotten ty for making me see the light
I like that Namariā€™s critical of Falin! I have a whole character analysis on Falin if youā€™re interested, but itā€™s generally well noticed that people around Falin idealize her a lot. Laios, Marcille and Toshiro all put her on a pedestral of ultimate goodness in the world, a saintess if nothing short of perfection. Sounds like Chilchuck felt sort of creeped out by her vibes, uncomfortable because he couldnā€™t read her, so unlike Namari it seems he preferred steering clear of her rather than debate opposed ideologies like he usually does. Makes sense if unlike Namari his issue is with her cryptic aura rather than the stances she does show. "ā€¦ The dungeon is no place for soft hearts" my ultimate namalin scene <333 Itā€™s fun because while this scene is there to show us a lot of things, mostly to establish Falinā€™s characters better as itā€™s the first flashback of her we get, the conflict in it is more than anything else Falin vs Namari in how they contrast and clash and approach situations differently. Namari wants security in swift effective violence and thinks Falin too soft for her own good when she prefers a pacifist approach and promotes compassion even for the "undeserving" in Namariā€™s eyes. Falin steps between the battle ready Namari and the ghost, fearless. Falin effortlessly gently exorcises the ghost without one step back, quickly. Falin proves someone wrong. Falin proves someone wrong.
I love thinking of Namari being surprised when she learns new aspects of Falin. I like Falin having the power to shape peopleā€™s views on her. With Falin ships the most fun part for me is usually that point where Falin/the relationship becomes a clean slate: the person realizes they havenā€™t been seeing all of her, realizes thereā€™s more of her they hadnā€™t noticed or that she hadnā€™t shown, that thereā€™s change, a shift in the views on each other and the dynamic a bit.
Namari often feels like an external view looking in to meā€¦ I need to make a proper analysis on her but like. I made a lamari post once (analytic more than personally invested rip sorry) and I go with the same Namari take here, I think sheā€™s someone who tends to have an outsider view on people and relationships if that makes sense, sheā€™s a coworker before anything else and sheā€™s content staying at a distance, sheā€™s not objective per se but she tries to keep feelings out of her choices and how she sees people (her lil arc on not staying to save Falin despite the existing camaderie but in the end asking to work for the Flokes more because she wants to stay with them). Sheā€™s serious no nonsense on the job but friendly off the job and likes having casual friends, but sheā€™s notā€¦ She doesnā€™t really feel connected to the group. Sheā€™s so focused on doing her job, even if she does get impulsive and passionate and too assertive for her bossesā€™ tastes, so focused on working her reputation and life from the ground up that that professionalism and attitude limits her social life. It doesnā€™t help that her reputation makes her widely judged, so she probably enters social spaces on the derensive. The closest person she was to pre-canon as far as we knew was Chilchuck and even they have a very "coworker I get along with" dynamic more than friends, with a similar sense of boundaries, humor and world view. Also like canon says a few time, the party didnā€™t really try to get to know each other well pre-canon, didnā€™t hang out after work often no one knew where Marcille was from and no one thought that was weird (also how no one had the instinct to ask about Senshiā€™s past) etc, the notable exception is weā€™re shown Namari and Chilchuck hitting taverns together and having a grand time. Everyoneā€™s fine with things as they are, they get along decent even if not everyone considers each other friends exactly. Where Iā€™m getting at is that to me, it feels like she tries keeping emotional distance. Emotional distance from people in general being something which in my interpretation of Falin is also present, which would make it a theme and common thread interesting to explore imo. But yes like, Namari looking at Falin, and how everyone treats her, and being more skeptical, seeing her for what she is a little more, maybe even uncharitable. "Why is everyone treating her like sheā€™s all that? Sheā€™s gentle sure but seems like a doormat to me" and then one day she comes running up with her mace ready to cave in someoneā€™s face to protect Laios. So yeahā€¦ Keeping her distance but one day Falin offering her some gentleness that feels very too personal for someone whoā€™s not used to being genuine and simply showing that they careā€¦ Them talking a bit which leaves her stumped and mindblown in a quiet way when Falin defies her expectations. Namari growing on Falin when she stays and decides to open herself up more, or when Falin ends up reading her really well like sheā€™s shown to do with her parents and Marcilleā€™s worries. Sheā€™s very attuned to worrying and why and when different people do it especially when it comes to when they worry for others, perhaps because she does a lot of that too, so I think sheā€™d nail down how Namari does care for the rest of the party and itā€™d make Namari feel seen both in a warm validating way and in a scared naked way.
We see in the tentacles chapter that sheā€™s someoneā€™s whoā€™s very protective and looks out for her peers in a tough love way. Sheā€™s overbearing but itā€™s because she wants everyone to have the best chances. I like that sheā€™s very confrontational and somewhat pushy and rude, but itā€™s tough love, itā€™s protective care: asserting herself to better protect and defend. The opposite of Falinā€™s type of care, quiet and self-sacrificial devotion. Theyā€™re barbarian x healer but theyā€™re also bodyguard x bodyguard in their attitude and role. ā€¦ What I want for them is slow burn slice of life of being coworkers and slowly getting to know each other better, pretty fluffy, but god, put this way theyā€™d have the potential to be such a hot layered mess of insanely mutually devoted codependenceā€¦ Falin taking a hit for Namari and Namari being scarred by it forever, lots of arguments about it, my god.
I like that sheā€™s the fighter to Falinā€™s healer. I looove thinking of scenes of Falin healing Namari, necessitating touch and like, a moment of slowing down and sitting together in silence, too intimate, the perfect opportunity to connect that neither truly want to take until one day they do. I love how onesided I imagine the relationship would be at first. Again, as per my interpretation of Falin, I think Namari would have all these little observations and opinions on Falin meanwhile Falin really doesnā€™t think of Namari much at first. So Namari thinks a lot about Falin and thinks sheā€™s got her pinned down but hasnā€™t (not that sheā€™s fully wrong, sheā€™d have credit and confront Falin on some of her flaws like the doormat thing), while Falin is very passive about Namari and doesnā€™t think deeply about her or anything but she read Namariā€™s insecurities and logic well. Not unlike how Laios was the one who seemed to understand Namariā€™s way of care the best in the party in the tentacles episode, and how he was very understanding of her choice and reasons. In Falinā€™s case itā€™s more like, the objectivity of passivityā€¦ She cares about Namari less than Laios who generally seeks to form bonds, so her lack of investment allows her a neutral perspective. In that way another parallel with Namari that Iā€™m drawing, except Namari lets feelings from her opinions seeps in moreā€¦ Onesided beef my beloved. Iā€™m going insane save me this post was a mistake. I think Falin takes the crumbs of friendship and love where she can without expecting or asking for anything more than whatā€™s offered, and I think her relationship with Namari (or anyone really) would start out the way it did with Marcille: the other takes the initiative and they end up spending time together, Falin is friendly but unattached until the bond gets gradually and wordlessly strenghtened through regularly spending moments together. So! I think Namari would need to take a lot of the first steps, which since again sheā€™s confrontational & argumentative and doesnā€™t hold herself back on that front that could spark a lot of conversations I think. Ooor since Falin cares about Namari less than Laios and Marcille she allows herself to be bolder herself lol. Or also circumstances force them to spend time together like dungeon party getting separated shenanigans.
I think their personalities match cutely, I think falin would try to protect namari like she does others but also Namari simply doesnā€™t need protection, just support. And I think theyā€™re complementary in that way that Namariā€™s friendly but also wonā€™t sugarcoat things, and I think if she takes an interest in Falin it could go from there and she could develop some understanding of her and idk like an intrigued crushā€¦.
Namari wants stability & security & to, like, not be judged and rejected and exiled lol, to find her nest her pack the place where she feels good and wanted in. I think having a fitting partner would help in that (similarly to how the found family with the Flokes seemed to. Oh another parallel, Falinā€™s top priority is protecting Laios her brother and what Namari are a family figure) and I think Falin would fulfill that cozy protection and that warm ā€˜being seen and not judgedā€™ feeling. But also Namari would run up to her and yell about her trying to sacrifice herself ever.
Another fun thread to explore: post-canon guilt for not having gone to save her. Sure, they werenā€™t close, but they had some nice memories, didnā€™t they? Namari cares, and it stings despite herself when it feels like people think she doesnā€™t. Oh it wasnā€™t a lost cause after all, oh itā€™d have worked out, oh I could have stayed loyal and it wouldnā€™t have compromised myself in the end. Wanting to apologize to Falin, or just ahnging out with her and sharing a moment after she wakes up. And tangent but thatā€™s interesting to think aboutā€¦ Narratively, I think the purpose of Namari and Toshiro in the story, beyond strenghtening the theme of "seek to understand what is different from you and promote unity despite them" and fleshing the cast and worldbuilding, is Toshiroā€™s purpose was being a foil & tool in Laiosā€™ arc (trouble connecting with people) while Namariā€™s was being and a foil & tool in Marcilleā€™s arc (standing up for ideals without being out of touch with harsh realities and needs). They are the conflict that push our protagonists to growā€” and they explore different ways of dealing with a situation or topic, different ways of growing into themselves on that end: Laios needing to listen to others more and Toshiro needing to focus on voicing himself more to be able to connect, Marcille needing to learn ideals sometimes cost too much and Namari needing to internalize that ideals are sometimes worth risks (not only to be able to find a reasonable but fulfilling life balance, but also to get in touch with their compassion: Namari restricts her own too much and Marcille is too harsh on people she deems to be breaking values, like Namari not risking her life and career for a friend with no promise of success, or even like how Namari is harsh on Falinā€™s way of doing things : too gentle, too soft, too idealistic) (similarly to Chilchuckā€™s arc with Marcille too, and he also plays a hand in advancing that arc in the Namari chapters). We are getting far from namalin sorry ummm preview for future analyses like Toshiroā€™s contrasting approach to grief and accepting loss.
More post-canon namalin! Thinking about a timeline whereā€¦ Namari is fond of Falin finding herself and going off to do her thing. "Finally!" she thinks. If sheā€™s still for hire, maybe Falin would want her to come along, either as guide or bodyguard <3, she knows Namari has a lot of good avice on a lot of things to give, plus theyā€™ve worked together before. She hires Namari and they travel for a bit. Travel would do Namari good too I think, even if her end goal is to settle and I think Falinā€™s would be too eventually. Seeing sights that light her wonder for the world and going places where people donā€™t know her story, donā€™t recognize her face or her name. Them, feeling free. Finding a companionship that feels uplifting instead of stifling or charged. Namari having been too in her head about reputation and social games and money that they hit the roads and spend time in nature and itā€™s like, woah. Iā€™ve been living in a small world with made up rules.
Ahh yes romance, Namari and Falin kissing after 3 years of not really knowing each other despite seeing each other every day then 2 months of wanting to spend more and more time together until theyā€™re an inseparable duo! Workwives. I want them to stand next to each other during campire time and Namari cracks little jokes and Namari laughs. I want Namari to gift Falin a bug caught in amber and for it to be their wedding/promised to each other thing.
TLDR
Rowdy but levelheaded barbarian x gentle healer that will also cave your face in with a mace I like itā€¦ā€¦ Theyā€™re an interesting duo of mixed stuff. Protection being your purpose and what youā€™re worth for, literally being a meat shield (Laios, Tansu), finding your individuality recognized and validated through a growing bond with the other. Sticking around as a love language. Also bug immortalized in amber and it being beautiful.
Nevermind this wasnā€™t short. Um! Anyways.

Sharing old Bakugan fanart I never shared here apparently?
I mostly posted to DA back in the day, but deleted my account when they had the whole A|I thingy. And last night I randomly got recommended the bakuga tag, so I started scrolling through the tag.
I was surprised and happy to see people still caring about the show and the characters (the old stuff I don't care about Bakugan Battle Planet).
Bakugan was one of the first "fandoms" I drew art for and I still have old art from that era. It was babies first MS paint/ traditional drawing era. Eventually I did move to digital art on SAI though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So it has me wondering what my stuff would look like now if I made fanart for it again.
I've done redraws of past Bakugan fan art before, but some make me cringe because it was like I regressed, especially with drawing Alice.
Tumblr media
This was a redraw of the MS paint art LOL
Anyway sorry for the rambling, just felt like sharing something especially for the Spectra x Alice shippers since it's a rarepair LOL

TLC Ship Weeks 2024
Winthorne + Change the Universe
and decisions, they change us
Tumblr media
ā€œAll by yourself?ā€ A voice asks.
Thorne turns in his seat, ready to woo andā€”
Heā€™s stunned. The stranger beside him is breathtaking. Angelic. Curvy. She has long curly hair and bright golden eyes. And three imperfect scars running down the side of her cheek.
He only pauses a second before quickly brushing the little tuft of bangs back into his eyes. He licks his lips, and tries out his most dashing smile.
She blinks at him balefully.
ā€œMaybe I am.ā€ He says.
A corner of her lip quirks up. ā€œMaybe?ā€
The woman he meets that night changes his life forever.

Reasons you love whisperain
Her most characteristics trait people overlook from her
And favourite ships with her innit
-M
Hhmhmm,
When i first saw her it was sorta love at first sight, like, ohhh a gloomy looking cool jellyfish medic with an eyepatch!!! Then when i got to her lore it's so like, her weird form of immortality, her only barely remembered past life(?) connection to the seaborn, her past travels as a wandering medic/in her previous lives. It's really fun to think about what she could've been up to and who she could've met. Also she's so pretty and so cute and i love her reserved but extremely gentle personality.
As for her overlooked traits, i can't really blame people bc it is like, 1 (one) voiceline, but
Tumblr media
This thing and its implications for her have been driving me insane ever since she dropped in global. What did she see????? Where has she been??? I barely see stuff exploring it from anyone else and it makes me a bit sad
My fave Whispy pairings lately have been her and Andreana's narratively neglected purple girls' club, and aside from that Weedyrain is always a classic (Weedy building an entire movietheater for Whisperain in her oprec for example is so romance)
I tend to um, whimsically pair her up with whomever I'm feeling at the time, for ex. in that church of the deep au/theory of mine i was thinking she'd go well in a tense yuri thing with Amaia :3. Also her voicelines and profile mention Warfarin a lot, so that's also a rarepair i enjoy (even if im the only one to do so waaah). Gameplay synergy wise she goes together so well with Blaze i cant help but also like them together :).
Then there's of course the pretty nice pairing with Dusk (girl who creates art to deal with the horrors vs girl who enjoys art to deal with the horrors, grumpy reserved girl vs kind reserved girl alliance, them both enjoying movies, Whisperain's past allowing her to have met whomever in a past life she doesn't remember and the implications for that with Dusk....)
Basically she never gets anything canon ever at all so in my despair I've taken to playing with her & anyone available like dolls. It's great fun, highly recommend (join me join me join me)

par for the course (read here on ao3)
She kisses him.
To be fair, itā€™s part of a spell, and to be fair, Moonshine kisses everyone, but still ā€” she kisses him. Makes no more warning of it than asking if he wants to be strong or tough before placing her grimey hands on either side of his face and pulling him down to her lips. Itā€™s wet. And uncomfortably sensual. And tastes a little bit like dirt, and a lot a bit like fungus.
So, par for the course, in terms of anything Moonshine related.Ā 
(the ep 10 kiss, from Hardwon's perspective. 560 words.)
