Spark the Honeybee

After over a month of on and off again work she’s ready to be posted! Really excited to do even more with her in the future ^^

Spark The HoneyBee Age: 20 Gender: Fluid Pronouns: She/He Orientation: Bi , somewhere on the acearo spectrum

*This bio was started and finished before any of the Scrapniks return within the main series. If events become too conflicting later on, or inspire ideas, some things may change, but don’t expect everything to 100% line up with canon because of this factor. Think of all this as an AU, it’s fan work, who really cares all that much if it’s perfect

FULL BIO BELOW CUT, it’s a long one fellas

Personality

Keeping her nose in her business and eyes on her work, most of the time, Spark is a person that vibes best with others that give her mutual respect. You’re nice to her, she’s nice to you…usually. Just because she can make herself get along with people doesn’t mean she likes them all. But as long as they’re nice she’s not gonna make that their problem.

Maybe somebody else’s, but not theirs.

When it comes to people being rude to her though, she doesn’t hide her disdain. Either matching their energy or masking to a neutral tone depending on the day. It’s rare for her to outright confront someone first hand, but any time she does it’s usually for understandable reasons as she usually has to be pushed.

One issue with that though is that since she does need to be pushed, it’s possible for her to snap on someone for something seemingly small at first. Even if in reality it was just a final straw, it usually tends to make her the asshole in that specific situation. 

Spark enjoys a simple life, despite working at the restoration, she doesn’t yearn for a grand adventure of a story. She feels independent and self accomplished as she is now, and that’s all she’s been wanting for years. How could she complain? 

While she enjoys things being tame, that doesn’t mean she can’t have fun. From having a whole night out to a simple brunch, Spark loves going out and spending time with her friends. Even if it can sometimes drain his social battery to nothing once it’s all over.

Her outfits tend to reflect this trait of hers, being cute while still being comfortable. As much as she likes to look pretty, she’s not gonna jeopardize any sense of mobility or comfort just for a cute outfit. Nearly every outfit she has includes a low cut back for her wings because of this.

Plus, she rocks it, so win win!

As much as Spark enjoys her newer life and loves the people around her, it is admittedly not too difficult to upset her if you push the right buttons.

Bringing up her family or the metal virus, blaming her for things she didn’t do, and any harm against animals, chao, or wisps are all things that can easily set her off. Whether it makes her upset or angry, the reaction typically isn’t rational or positive.

If her upset state becomes too frenzied, Spark can sometimes be inconsolable. As much as she tries to be calm and not copy her mothers shouting habit, the effort dwindles the more her patience is tested. In a state of anger the best thing to do for her is to get her out of the scene, and take her somewhere secluded to calm down. Even if she protests in favor of continuing the shouting match.

Unlike with her anger though, any time Spark is deeply saddened by something it’s incredibly hard to tell what can help her. Giving her time alone? A hug? Letting her vent? Just being there as quiet company? Who knows, it’s inconsistent with her, to the point she can’t tell sometimes either. Which of course doesn’t help the person trying to console her. It takes someone with a lot of patience to help Spark in an irrational state, at least patience for her in particular. 

On the whole, and to most people, Spark is simply a nice girl working a nice quant job. To those that know her better, she’s that and more. For better or for worse. She’s an incredibly emotional person with issues and habits she’s desperately trying to break.

The Restoration is the first place she’s ever lived at alone.

The cafe is the first job she’s ever had.

Niko is the first true friend she made outside of her family and hometown.

And the world outside of The Restoration has become terrifying to her.

But, thankfully, she likes her life inside the base. As new as it’s been for her, it’s the most fulfilled she’s ever felt in her life.

And that’s all she’s ever wanted.

Current Life

One of the somewhat newer workers in The Restoration, Spark works at a small cafe within the facilities. While her job is making coffee, her actual passion is art and creatives. Often pulling a sketchbook out on break or during dead hours. Outside of drawing though, she does enjoy collecting random fun finds and eventually picks up gardening.

His time at The Restoration would allow him to meet many new people, including his now best friend Niko. Niko with their wisp, Skullz, would end up being very protective of Spark. She certainly wouldn’t mind though, they sure kept customers from being rude. Awesome bonus, she really liked their company too :D! The scary dog privileges was more so the bonus actually. She really did care about them as much as they did for her..even if it was in a less violent way. Anything for the Queen Bee!…Spark isn’t royalty, Niko is just very committed to the bit.

(Niko belongs to @zip-toonz)

Spark would also end up meeting many other people working for or visiting the residence. It was easy to do as a cafe worker after all. She’s even interacted with Sonic a few times, while he never bought coffee for himself he didn’t seem to mind picking some up for others.

One of the more notable people she’s met though, has actually been Mecha Sonic. Meeting the barista not long after visiting the resistance base, and eventually going from strangers to friends, to friends to partners.

(More on that relationship later.)

Her time at the restoration and newfound relationships with people has given Spark a newfound sense of self worth. Finding fulfillment in not having to rely on family for living means, and being productive in her own job. No place is ever perfect, but for Spark, things right now are damn near close.

Familial Past

Spark can fully acknowledge the fact she doesn’t have the worst family life. They care, they try, they love her and she doesn’t doubt it. Not anymore at least.

But man is the relationship still rocky.

Her mothers side of the family was never too afraid to speak up about their thoughts and feelings. They also weren’t afraid to be loud about it too. While this was usually fine within that side of the family itself, it often caused a clash amongst others.

Her father’s side of the family is much more accomplished and self absorbed, unlike her father himself. Having an attitude of smelling their own farts and high standards for how they should be treated.

Each family alone would be different to deal with, but the combination under one house simply led to chaos.

Constant bickering and verbal berating, three kids would be stuck hearing shouting for years of a couple that just refused to split no matter what. 

Eventually it would go to two kids, and then one as they slowly moved out. Spark left the chaos after the metal virus, unable to carry much in her bags, and hasn’t kept well in touch since.

Any contact she does have with them is very limited, and is only there at all because they make the effort to reach out to her. She feels guilt for leaving her little brother home, but he was still a kid and couldn’t be taken from his life like that.

Despite efforts to make her reveal it, Spark hasn’t actually told any of her family where she moved. Planning to eventually tell them after getting some time away.

She kept telling herself all she needed was a break, but as time passed on, it really seemed like it may have been more than that.

One of the few family members Spark became close with outside of her immediate family was Ladie, her cousin. Ladie the Bug came from the father’s side of the family, and as a result always took lead of the relationship between the two.

Ladie’s the one that suggests when they hang out.

Ladie’s the one who initiates conversation.

Ladie’s the one who talks while Spark listens.

Ladie’s the one who asks Spark about her life to show she wants her to talk.

Ladie’s the one who tries to figure out what Spark likes but just can’t get enough out of her.

While there’s no denying the imperfect dynamic, Ladie has always tried to care for and listen to Spark, because Spark was the only one who would listen to her. As much as she tried to get Spark to open up more, it never felt like enough.

Ladie would eventually be the first to figure out where Spark moved to, and would fly in with her wisp Gentleman for a surprise visit. One that catches Spark completely off guard, and would eventually make their relationship go from distant to rocky.

After the shock, it was actually nice to have some family back, but Spark had to spill the beans eventually. How exactly do you tell your cousin that you’re dating a giant rusty robot?

Yeah she…didn’t really approve much. Not even because of Mecha though..okay well maybe slightly, but after the events of the Metal Virus, Ladie worried her cousin was only doing this as a weird way of coping. Managing to even get in Spark’s head about it and make her worry maybe Ladie was right.

While her worries were genuine, she would eventually realize it didn’t matter what she thought of the relationship. If Spark really liked Mecha this much, even after what happened to her during the Metal Virus, the guy must’ve been doing something right.

     And maybe that’s what she needs more than anything.

After stopping the berating against her relationship, the cousins would begin to become close again. Hanging out more often and, finally, getting Spark to tell Ladie more about herself. During visits Ladie would meet more of Spark’s friends, show Spark some of her own new hobbies, and learn more about her favorite cousin than she ever knew.

While things start off rocky, they eventually become closer than they ever have been before, and finally have a balanced and healthy friendship with no leader. And for a long time, Ladie is the only family member Spark has regular contact with.

But of course you can’t just ghost a whole family forever, can you? And as much as their relationship has grown...Ladie is still a bit of a gossip.

What can you do? It runs in the family.

Relationship with Mecha

Not long after escaping Scrapnik Island, Mecha and his fellow scrapniks would be taken to the restoration to be fixed up, and given refuge until they decide what they want to do. Mecha himself would end up being one of the first to be given a voice, in turn being one of the first to go and meet new people. Even if he had some help doing so from Sonic, but hey he didn’t reject the support.

The whole idea was to just get him, and the other scrapniks, more comfortable interacting with other people. Along with getting people comfortable with them, this was a strange addition to their base after all. What would be an easy errand for people practice? A coffee run of course! Oh yeah you know where this is going.

Sonic accompanied him on the first trip there, it only made sense to. Sonic got along with nearly everyone, and at this point they still had a mind link. He had done coffee runs for his friend’s before too, so showing Mecha the ropes wouldn’t be hard, right? Well, yes, but it was still odd.

Initially it was just another slow day at the cafe, Spark trying to doodle to pass time. It was a real dead hour, but despite the effort she just couldn’t think of what to put on the page. In the middle of her thinking though, the front bell would ring.

Looking up and seeing Sonic walk in wasn’t really a surprise at this point, but the giant rusty robot beside him sure was. The sight absolutely throwing her off guard and leaving her staggering as she tried, and failed, to make the order like nothing was odd. She could swear Sonic said what the robot’s name was, but it was in one ear out the other. Despite how odd it all was, she couldn’t stop sneaking looks at him.

It was easily the most awkward customer interaction she ever had, the silence of the cafe afterwards not helping at all. It wasn’t like she was scared or anything..okay maybe slightly, but it was mainly the surprise of it. Could you blame her too much? The guy was huge and had a saw for a leg! That’d shock just about anybody.

But what could she do about it now? She just shook it off and went back to her sketchbook. Finally getting a couple lines down on the page even, look at that! Maybe she needed a little shock in her day to inspire— Wait what was she drawing? The more she added the more it kinda looked like-…oh.

Oh no.

Mecha would leave the interaction thinking he scared the poor bee outta her wits. Sonic though, got a bit of a different impression after seeing those glances. Of course with the mind link, both knew what the other thought, and neither would really agree on that interaction going okay or bad.

At least they both agreed it wasn’t great, but hey it could’ve been much worse.

Thankfully though, as more visits passed, the barista there seemed to calm down. She didn’t even drop a cup on the second coffee run, that was already good!

For a while Sonic and others accompanied him for the first few visits, along with trips to other stops, but after a bit all of them agreed he needed to do these things on his own.

He actually wanted to make trips on his own for a fair bit by that point, so like, finally lmao.

These errands and such would, of course, sometimes involve the cafe as usual. Giving him and Spark more chance to actually talk, which thankfully by that point should be easy. The sight of a super tall rusty robot didn’t seem to spook her at all anymore. Though sometimes she did slam her sketchbook shut when he came in during less active hours.

Damn, his friends sure drank a lot of coffee.

She felt like such a creep. A weirdo even. What kind of freak had this many doodles of a guy she’s only ever known as a customer? Damnit, why did he have to be fun to draw!?

It’s not like Mecha was the only thing in her sketchbook now, but any time she needed a page filler he sure was easy to default to. And he didn’t even know, that’s the part that made her feel like some stalker the most, the guy had no idea!

She couldn’t have liked the guy, she barely thought about him in all truth. Maybe at first she wondered what his deal was a bit, but he was kinda just a regular at this point.

It’d been a whole month of this, she needed to end this “drawing a stranger” crap soon. So what if he has a unique face and tall stature and funky body that was fun to sketch? Well describing it like that just makes it sound more creepy, but how could she clear her conscious?

By doing something humiliating of course. She’s not always the most rational, why would she be so here?

Nothing had really happened at all that day. Nobody needed Mecha’s help with anything, yet they were all so busy anyways. The garden didn’t need any tending, nobody needed an errand, and finally he had a day all for himself for the first time in awhile- Oh the barista bee was stomping over holding a horde of papers in her arms, that’s fine.

Oh she shoved all the papers into his hands while talking so fast he could barely process what she was saying.

Oh she walked away…weird, but what was on the papers-?

Oh

…Yeah he’d need advice on how to respond to a gift like that. Was Amy busy? Surely she’d know best for a situation like this.

Oh she could’ve died right then and there, Spark had done some embarrassing things in her life, but oh my god. That was horrid!

If she was lucky he’d think she’s insane and never come back to the cafe. Then awkward conversation wouldn’t have to happen, that WOULD kill Spark.

Well ready the funeral because guess who came in the next day? You already know.

Her stomach absolutely sank as she saw him walk in, she didn’t even properly hear what he said when he saw her. Almost immediately her words ran a mile a minute until he set something on the counter.

A small pot with a pretty pink flower inside.

...what?

Finally she hushed up as he explained he was told the gesture of a gift being returned with another gift was a kind way to say thank you.

Gift? Thank you? Hang on a moment—

By the time she tried to question him he was already leaving, not even on a coffee run that day. Damnit.

A gift. A gift!? She wasn’t giving him some mushy gift, she was clearing her conscious! In a stupid way, but it was still the goal. He had to be messing with her, no way he was for real.

Alright big man, you wanna play games? Spark can play.

Oh boy Spark regretted making an actual gift in return. At least for awhile, the exchange went back and forth and back and forth for like half a  month!! She was running out of space for these plants, it NEEDED to stop. She had to end this, even if she kinda instigated it.

To her surprise though, when she actually went to talk to him about it he was…very sweet and understanding about it. Huh, okay that was easy…now what?

Well a whole new topic that’s what, soon enough they ended up changing conversation completely. Damn, she didn’t ever assume he was bad or anything but actually talking to him, he was kinda cool and chill. To the surprise of both of them, they actually hit it off pretty good after having an actual talk like normal people.

Neither of these losers were normal at all though, albeit for very different reasons.

Okay, maybe she could actually be friends with this guy. She was digging his vibe, but she’d be surprised if he returned that sentiment to her.

Holy $&!+ he just made a new legit friend completely on his own, Sigma was gonna be so happy! At least happy to hear Spark is officially a friend now, he was kinda waiting for it during the whole gift exchange phase. A lot of Mecha’s friends and family were.

It’s not like he was friendless, far from it. He still had all the Scrapniks, he met plenty of people through Sonic and errands for people. He was on pretty good terms with a lot of people there now, but this happened to be the first person he befriended on his own. Geez, how little time did he really get to himself? He hadn’t noticed until now, he’d have to talk about that.

The friendship kept on for about three and a half months, going from casual friends to practically besties shockingly fast. They met each others friends, Spark met Mecha’s family, oh what could go wrong.

Feelings that’s what, or, well it went right because of feelings. Oh what to do when you catch feelings for a cute bee girl or a giant rusty robot clone of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Why not give it a shot? The feeling was mutual, what was there to lose?

Despite starting to date, their overall dynamic didn’t change much for a bit. They both agreed at the start they weren’t official official yet, but going out on dates and testing the waters. And hey, it was still fun! You don’t stop enjoying someone’s company just cause it’s a date. Soon enough it would be official though, and people sighed out a “finally” as they,, well finally acknowledged each other as such.

They were so slow but fast at the same time, confused a lot of people around them, but overall they were rooted for. At least by the current people currently surrounding them.

Over the course of the relationship their status as boyfriend and girlfriend would become a lot more blatant, as each grew more and more comfortable with the other. Both bringing in some heavy changes of routine to each other's lives, learning more about themselves and each other as time went on.

It was good, imperfect at times like any pair, but neither expected constant paradise. In a way they were imperfect in mere concept, but isn’t that just perfect to be?

(I was so embarrassed writing this whole section the entire time but god damnit that robot deserves somebody who will kiss him)

Interests, Talents, and Hobbies

Spark’s primary interest is art, getting into drawing at a young age and keeping the hobby up into adult years. She doesn’t know if she wants to pursue a career with it or not, most likely not, but isn’t against doing some drawings for the right payment. While she appreciates all kinds of arts, simple sketching is her favorite thing to default too. On occasion she’s down to paint or color pieces, but on the regular it’s just some nice pencil work. 

One of Spark’s hobbies she hasn’t been able to indulge in much since moving is figure collecting. She loves the sight of little characters on her shelves and desks, but when she moved she only had the space to bring a select few. Maybe if she made another trip back, but she doesn’t feel ready for that. While The Restoration has plenty of amenities and decent entertainment, figure collecting isn’t something you can easily indulge in. Your best bet would be to take a trip out of the base, but again, Spark doesn’t feel ready for it.

While it is, quite literally, her Job; Spark has found a knack for making a mean cup of coffee. With good training and being at this station for a while, she’s developed good measuring and order tactics to make a grand coffee. She’s even taken habit to make her own coffee at home instead of buying it, being able to make it exactly like she likes it. Which has been much easier on her wallet that’s for sure.

Back at home and during her bed rot, Spark consumed all kinds of media. Shows, movies, games; you name it, she had the time to consume it. She never did anything, what else was she supposed to do? Nowadays though, working a job and having a more active life, she’s found less time to watch shows or dig into video game lore. As much as she still enjoys getting into other people’s stories, it’s something she’s more selective with now due to limited time and energy. Sometimes it’s annoying not having the time to get into a show she thinks she’d like, but at the same time, she feels alright with the change.

There’s many reasons Spark never got into gardening: having no energy, it costing money, the bad soil in her family’s yard. Despite some interest, those factors always made it hard. But there was one reason that topped them all. A bee, growing a flower garden? How stereotypical! Imagine feeding into that stereotype, her family would mock her nonstop. She didn’t quickly start gardening after moving, it actually took quite awhile. But after meeting Mecha and eventually learning of his interest, he got her roped into a hobby she no longer had excuses to avoid. This development actually happened about a week into their romantic relationship, about three months of them actually knowing each other, and four months since they first met. After some time Spark started growing flowers in her own windowsill, enjoying the site that reminds her of so many good things.  Who cares if it was tropey? She liked it, that was enough.

Author’s Notes I Guess

Told y��all this was gonna be a long bio. I know I’m usually slow with writing but I’m sure you see why this took me awhile now.

Big mix of motivation highs and lows along with general embarrassment at points, but come on let a guy have some fun projecting onto an oc that kisses a rusty robot.

Real talk though over the course of developing Spark and drawing her more and establishing things not even mentioned in this post, she’s easily become one of my favorite characters I’ve ever made. I’m not gonna suddenly hide the fact she’s a major self insert, I’ve been pretty open about that since day one, but she really has developed beyond that now.

Yes, she’s a self insert of myself, but she’s also just Spark. She’s just a bee doing her best trying to live her life and kiss her mouthless boyfriend. She’s given me hope that I can do things she’s doing, and allowed me to process many emotions and thoughts through her. She had her own drama and issues going on that have little to nothing to do with me. And I really think that’s perfect for her as a character.

I’m so so flattered that so many friends have already found themselves attached to her and her dynamics before I even finished her first bio. And I hope that if you took the time to read all this you like her too.

Thank you also if you did read all this, I appreciate it :33 Any questions or such are of course welcome if you have any, and sharing is always appreciated, but of course neither are demanded and I hope you have a good day ^^

Anyways, I’ll go ahead and let you go. Here’s some other art (mainly doodles) I’ve done of Spark and others! As a treat

(Yes I have been learning to draw Mecha too but I ain’t sharing that just yet)

Canid Faunus Relationships

One: The "Domestic" Faunus

Penny: I love you! I missed you! You're just the best! Is there anything I can do to make your day better?

Most dogs were bred for hunting, be it game or vermin, but even the most naturally aggressive dogs needs proper companionship and socialization.

~~~~~

Two: The "Wolf" Faunus

Ruby: Hey. Let's go out and do something! My whole family wants to meet you, so we should probably do that soon, to! They'll love you!

Ruby: My Mom will probably talk about grandpuppies or something ... Not that we should worry ... Or that I'd complain about having any ...

Contrary to popular belief, there isn't an 'alpha' in wild Wolf Packs, as they are primarily made of a family of wolves where the Parents are the leaders, simply due to age and experience.

~~~~~

Three: The "Fox" faunus

Pyrrha: Oh no~ It looks like you lost your belts~ Now what Will you do~

Foxes are strictly Monogamous creatures, but do prefer a solitary lifestyle outside of their Den with their family.

~~~~~

Bonus: The "Hyena" Faunus

Cinder: *Heavy Breathing* You ... And Me .... Now ...

Hyenas are neither Canine or Feline, but rather are their own thing. The Females lead the packs.

That's all, have a good day/night!

[shaydh]

I can't remember if you ever talked about this but what fursonas Animal Crossing villager animals would your ocs be? Liam a wolf obviously, but what about the others? Izzy could make a fun hyena.

They do actually have fursonas, I drew them once but I think it’s been lost to twitter. For acnh Niko’s an ostrich (vulture patterned), Bug is a rat (possum patterned). Lucia is a deer, Kaspar’s a bunny, Katarina’s a cat. I’m not actually sure what Izzy would be, but probably some type of bird, maybe a nightjar

Jess Watches // Thu 18 Apr // Day 204 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Renegade Nell (with mum) 1x04 Devil's Dung

Nell risks capture to find a doctor and the gang receive help from some unlikely sources.

So Roxy has a magical gift too? Or magical guardians at least? If it wasn't Billy Blind, who was it? Played by Phil Dunster hopefully :p

Chucky 3x06 Panic Room

Armed with new weapons, Chucky aims to become the most prolific serial killer in history.

Santa got nuked.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (rw) 3x20 The Prom

After Angel breaks off their relationship, Buffy single-handedly battles three fearsome hell hounds so that her classmates can enjoy their senior prom.

"We're not good friends. Most of us never found the time to get to know you, but that doesn't mean we haven't noticed you. We don't talk about it much, but it's no secret that Sunnydale High isn't really like other high schools. A lot of weird stuff happens here."

Crowd outbursts: Zombies! Hyena people! Snyder! (laughter)

"But, whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you, or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history." (applause from the crowd) "And we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class, offers its thanks, and gives you, uh, this."

*Jonathan produces a multicolored, glittering, miniature umbrella with a small metal plaque attached to the shaft.*

It's from all of us, and it has written here, "Buffy Summers, Class Protector."

Killing Eve (Remix) [x] 3x07 (Beep Beep) Wanna Ride?

4x06 - Villanelle survives the attack. Konstantin speculates that Gunn, a Twelve assassin, is behind the attack. V later meets Gunn, who slips her a note stating that she was ordered to kill her by Hélène. Eve travels to Berlin and follows Hélène to her hotel room. V kills Hélène in front of Eve then leaves. Eve tracks down Carolyn and confronts her. Eve kills Lars.

The switched-pronoun version of 'Bill' playing as Eve delicately buttons up Niko's V's shirt. And 'Mother's Been a Bad Girl' being the title of the song playing when V kills Hélène. Also, I changed the song a bit over the end montages to match the scenes better: the shift when Carolyn finds the notebook, and putting the V-having-a-breakdown-on-a-train scene from 305 here as it was a beautiful scene and fit the narrative going into next episode.

[running-on-narrativium]

More Discoworld OCs Explained As Horribly As Possible

Charlie: Smooth talking hyena boi with a lot of…"projects" in the works.

Audrey: Pretty bird who will scratch your eyes out.💖

Niko: He’s so charming it’s almost worth getting inhumed by him…

Fool’s Gold: He prefers to be called Pyrite and he will make that very clear to anyone who doesn’t call him that. Even if it means the person he’s explaining it to ends up as a puddle of mush.

Grey: The reason orcs are so well hidden…

[nenekobasu]

was gonna make a point about how kaiser getting a black background for ch.232 marked him as the protagonist because usually black backgrounds are for isagi but then i was like isagi isn’t the only one who gets them and i got unsure so i went back to check on which charas get black backgrounds. i am very stupid for this

ch.210: ness (talking about how he’s kaiser-enabling bait), isagi (thinking of lorenzo ubers’ “heart”), lorenzo (after stopping/devouring kaiser)

ch.211: lorenzo (isagi’s thoughts), lorenzo twice (talking about ubers’ intent to devour), lorenzo-kunigami (lorenzo defeating kunigami and kuni reaction), lorenzo (faking a shot), lorenzo (hiori’s thoughts on lorenzo passing to barou), isagi (after stealing the ball from barou)

ch.212: barou (tsking at isagi who stole the ball), isagi (juking out yukki+defender), ness (coming to block isagi)

ch: 213: ness (agitated at isagi’s lefty shot), kunigami (tsking at bachira, flashback), isagi (thinking of his left foot as a secondary weapon)

ch.214: aiku (thinking of isagi’s lefty shot), lorenzo-isagi (calling the goal a fluke), lorenzo (isagi’s thoughts), snuffy (“what will you have if you lose soccer?”), barou (telling his teammates to steal the ball from isagi)

ch.215: snuffy (talking to barou about talent and his past)

ch.216: barou (refusing snuffy), barou (reconsidering his refusal, then announcing he’ll surpass snuffy), gagamaru (isagi’s thoughts)

ch.217: isagi (thinking of barou’s shot + understanding predator eye), ness (frustrated with his inability to stop isagi and barou), isagi (stealing the ball from lorenzo-ness, cutting off hiori’s thoughts), isagi (thinking about duels after stealing the ball)

ch.218: niko (gaining meta-vision, isagi thoughts about niko’s “awakening”), isagi (thinking of meta-vision), ness (reacting to kaiser insulting him), isagi (thoughts, ready for battle), kunigami (stealing the ball)

ch.219: niko (using meta-vision), isagi (in niko’s thoughts), aiku (stopping isagi), isagi (about to shoot with his left foot), isagi-aiku (isagi frustrated as aiku stops the left foot shot)

ch.220: isagi (reacting to lorenzo, about to cut off the pass), kaiser (actually cutting off the pass), kaiser (isagi’s thoughts)

ch.221: kaiser (“fucking shut up” + calling his goal a “hyena goal”), isagi (thinking of kaiser’s shot), isagi (thinking of how kaiser needs to pay attention to him and being very pleased), isagi (contrast with hiori)

ch.222: isagi (out-meta-visioned by snuffy), snuffy (isagi thoughts on how snuffy controls the game)

ch.223: lorenzo, isagi (thoughts on snuffy, begging for someone to notice him), barou (frustrated with isagi blocking his shot), isagi (thinking of noa-kaiser-isagi barely holding off ubers + snuffy’s supportive role), isagi (ruminating on noa’s words), isagi (asking raichi whether he’s willing to die)

ch.224: isagi (asking raichi in his thoughts to become a sacrificial piece), snuffy (foot and ball only), isagi (shocked his plan was anticipated), barou (in front of gagamaru, about to shoot)

ch.225: barou (about to shoot, gagamaru’s thoughts), barou (frustrated after his shot is stopped), yukki lobs the ball panel), isagi (thinking he needs someone who shares his vision, hiori contrast)

ch.226: isagi (thinking about how his imagination won + determined to prove his ideas), isagi (thinking he’ll crush ubers with his eyes and brain), barou (gets the ball from lorenzo), isagi (going to crush barou), barou-snuffy (barou rebelling against snuffy)

ch.227: barou (calling ubers mindless), snuffy (calls barou the best), barou (isagi’s thoughts, barou fulfilling what isagi wanted to do), barou (about to shoot)

ch.228: isagi-kaiser (isagi’s thoughts, isagi-kaiser defending against barou’s shooting options), barou (the pog shot), barou (telling snuffy to get out of the way), snuffy (doing just that, pushing noa away and grinning)

ch.229: mick (reacting to snuffy’s words), barou (silently judging snuffy’s praise), isagi (contrast with barou who taunts him)

ch.230: isagi (frustrated + screaming), isagi (failing to see a way to defeat barou-kaiser), noa (asking isagi to explain “we can’t win with that”), isagi (response to noa, “so that i can score”, noa (denying isagi’s request to bring in hiori)

ch.231: barou (reacting to snuffy’s “take responsibility”), noa-kiyora (“don’t let your blade rot” “…’kay”), ness (“kaiser and i might lose”), kaiser (“are you ready?), hiori (isagi thinking about hiori his final piece)

ch.232: kaiser (“good boy, ness” + “rest easy”), isagi (looking to steal the ball post-lorenzo block), aiku (after blocking isagi)

some notes i guess:

the only characters who get black backgrounds (discounting charas who only get them because they’re accessories to others): ness, isagi, lorenzo, kunigami, barou, aiku, snuffy, gagamaru, niko, kaiser. yukki gets them but only when he’s in relation to isagi. noa-kiyora get them but noa has never gotten one while on pitch

dividing this group in two: isagi kunigami barou kaiser ness as “protagonists” players who want to score (in ness’ case, wants to help kaiser score), lorenzo aiku niko snuffy gagamaru ness as “defenders” players who want to stop others from scoring (ness to isagi that one time). “protagonists” has two meanings here, one is “players who want to score” another is “players who score”, since in blue lock strikers are the protagonists who through scoring goals “gain the role of protagonist” accordingly protagonists are also players who vie for this role

thesis time!!!! black backgrounds are used most commonly to mark either “protagonists” or protagonist crushers (“defenders”). isagi is main protagonist so it’s important aiku only receives black backgrounds first when thinking of isagi’s lefty shot then later blocking him, aiku by getting the same black background as isagi visually invades isagi’s domain. while i’m on the topic isagi breaks this thesis somewhat by getting black backgrounds whenever he wants like when he’s analyzing and stuff but as series protagonist he has more claim to the backgrounds than anyone else so he's able to bend the rules a bit

this view of black backgrounds also explains noa-kiyora: on-pitch noa isn’t trying to become the protagonist but he gets a black background as he promises kiyora a protagonist-related role for the next match. noa also gets them in response to isagi when isagi wants to be protagonist as noa either demands he explain himself or refuses him, noa’s black background here marks him as a “defender” an obstacle to isagi’s attempts to become protagonist

barou-snuffy— they often get black backgrounds when interacting, barou main striker and snuffy the strategist and goal-designer. in ch.229~231 however snuffy stops getting them— ch.228 barou told snuffy to move out of the way of his shot and snuffy through his compliance lays down the burden of protagonist-hood and lets barou take full responsibility for the team. since in ch.229 mick received black backgrounds where snuffy didn’t, barou-snuffy can be read as a mick-snuffy renewal; snuffy sees mick in barou and decides to trust barou’s ability to shoulder despair

ness-kaiser go through a baton pass of sorts with ness getting black backgrounds from ch.210~ch.218 and kaiser from ch.220 and beyond. to me this indicates that ness was the protagonist of the kaiser-ness pair and the main enabler of kaiser’s protagonist role during the early stages of the game while ch.220 marks kaiser’s first proper foray into protagonist-hood; kaiser’s early reliance on ness may explain his failure and it’s when he grabs the role of the protagonist himself that he’s rewarded by the story i.e. it’s growth— kaiser this game has learned to be a player worth following instead of taking for granted a system that makes him protagonist by default

hiori with a white background as he reacts to isagi contrasted with isagi having a black background happens twice (ch.221 and ch.225) then in ch.230 they pair up and both receive white backgrounds, partners finally together. maybe hiori was attracted to isagi’s protagonist status? you could read the contrast as hiori being isagi’s “light”, though if black backgrounds stand for being protagonists there are negative ways to interpret this as well

the yukki lob panel has fukaku as a distinct presence, fukaku connected to snuffy in the “i’ll break your pervert team” panel and as goalkeeper he has the potential to be the ultimate protagonist crusher. notably gagamaru does not get black backgrounds in ch.226 where he stops barou’s shot suggesting that while he did stop barou he failed to crush barou’s protagonist power

- The cat king refuses to acknowledge Selena as 'Cat woman' because she's not a real cat.

- Niko sees Harley Quinn cartwheel out of a bank with a pink fluffy boa and hyenas running behind her and decides she has a new role model

This is my third thought in the past 20 minutes 😭

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

I have a lot to say:

Hibiki Okawa looks like a hyena

It's mainly the hair, but I have always seen him as a hyena

Also, Okawa looks more like Rin than Rin does Rin Just Look:

Is this one just me?

I have one more, Okawa is gay. Hear me out.. He looks gay (to me) or at least some form of queer. I kinda ship him with Niko. And look:

The translation of the text is "[Team Y} BL Ranking". But if you look at it without the translation the Chi character (the first one) kinda looks like a J, and in some words can sound like G. The Mu character (the one that looks like a triangle) kinda looks like an A, and then we have the Y. Put it all together and take out the dash and you get 'Gay'

Their smirk turns devilish. Nikolena's first, because she catches up on things quicker than her sister, but Alena's isn't so far behind. They're both mischiefs and about to do a mischievious thing.

All because Cross indicates uncertainty and The Twins jump at the opportunity like hyenas at a carcass.

"It's totes true, you're basically our slave for the day. " Says Niko, inches closer to them.

Alena nods her head eagerly. "We have to abide by traditions."

Cross frowns, gaze flicking from one to the other. "That's not true."

Is it?

Cross knows she's not exactly up on normal things that happen to normal people, but that seems wrong. Then again, they didn't even know you were supposed to get cake for the longest time, so maybe this is just another one of those things where—

"I don't think that's true."

Did Neanderthals Make Musical Instruments?

Do you like to listen to music? Have you ever admired the skill of a musician? Maybe you even know how to play an instrument yourself. Unsurprisingly, humans (Homo sapiens) have enjoyed this rewarding art for all of recorded history. In fact, the earliest evidence of musical instrument construction dates back to the great unknown ages of prehistory.

 In 1995, researchers excavating deposits thought to be between 40,000 and 60,000 years old in a cave called Divje Babe (which translates to “Witch Cave”) in Slovenia found the femur (a leg bone) of a juvenile cave bear with an unusual line of small holes perforating one side. The find was recognized as being a fragment of a flute-like musical instrument. Due to the age and location of the discovery, the manufacture of the flute was attributed to Homo neanderthalensis (the Neanderthals) rather than Homo sapiens!

This discovery was extremely important in shaping our view of the Neanderthals, another species of hominid with which we share a common ancestor. Prior to this, they were often viewed as brutish, animalistic, and wholly incapable of aesthetic sensibilities. However, if they made musical instruments and played them for entertainment or ritual purposes, these activities mean that the Neanderthals were creating a complex culture reminiscent of our own when they went extinct around 40,000 years ago for reasons still unclear. The ability to modify a material so that it can then be used to create a variety of pitches implies, in the minds of some researchers, greater motor ability and a higher capacity for abstract thought.

There are many skeptics, however. Some posit that the holes in the bones are the result of hyenas making a meal of a juvenile cave bear, while others point to uncertainty about exactly when the perforations in the bone were created. Perhaps the interpretation of a modified bone as a musical instrument is all exaggeration brought on by our desire to relate to those who came so long before us. As of this writing, the scientific community is still undecided about how the holes into the bone were created and when it happened. There are two things we can all agree on, though: we hope someday to uncover the true origin of the Divje Babe bone flute, and musical instruments certainly rank among the greatest inventions of members of the genus Homo.
