[spro-o]

Hello. Could you please make something about Nasiens with Diane and King? Maybe them hugging or something like that.

why yes of course!! Let them have some good good family bonding time, I plead, Nakaba,, 🛐

Yes, Merlin is morally gray and definitely had horrible decisions but she’s not the most evil being to walk the universe like some people paint her to be.

Listen, I’m not denying Merlin is selfish but why does the whole fandom keep ignoring the fact that she genuinely loves knowledge to the point of obsession (stopping her own time so there would be no limit for her to continue exploring knowledge) and reduce her whole motive to just “being unable to handle a rejection”? Ok, she had a crush on Meliodas (puppy love typa thing let’s be honest) and since she also loves/cannot hate Elizabeth (and this proves she doesn’t have a love brain like y’all want her to), she chose to immerse herself in knowledge, a healthy coping mechanism if ya ask me. Then she found out about chaos and started looking into it. By the point the events in the manga happened, she had already invested 3000 years into uncovering chaos. Now imagine you start a passion project that grows way out of hand, and you have spent too many years to just quit and not get the results. This is what Merlin meant when she said “too late” in my opinion (partly this and partly that she wished she had had someone like Escanor 3000 years ago when she was so hungry for dedicated affection). Merlin is the sin of Gluttony for a reason. Greed is wanting more; gluttony is overconsuming, overindulgence to the point of self destruction. Her actions are always one part cold pragmatism and one part sentimental. It’s cold when she said Escanor was an intriguing test subject. But then she did an incredibly sentimental thing by giving him a kiss, scarring herself permanently as a memorial to him so Escanor is carved into her very skin and she would always remember him whilst people jeered at her for “wasting a pretty face”.

Now onto the next part that I think people are too hard on her for, just slow down and put yourself in Merlin’s shoes. So she helped this guy, and she looked like the only female figure who has ever shown him kindness. Wouldn’t Merlin think she might just be an alive version of Rosa to him? Escanor was probably aware of this, which is why he said “I have always loved you. And I know it's not only because you remind me so much of Rosa”. And seeing how many of y’all keep refusing that it’s Merlin who was with Escanor in chapter 192 but Rosa instead (which is dumb bc only Merlin has that mole and the Japanese text literally says “Merlin”) shows how real this concern is. I love Escalin and I think they should get married, but she is not inclined to return his feelings.

Yes, Escanor wrote many many many poems dedicated to her, and all of the words show how much he worshiped her. But this is bad, because then Merlin wouldn’t think he genuinely loves her (until his confession I reckon, you could see the surprise in her eyes when she realized just how forgiving his love is) and that he was probably mistaking savior worshiping for love. Just look at how Escanor described Merlin, sounds a bit too perfect and um well not exactly accurate:

Her being kind is debatable I guess since she was kinda always nice to him (which proves she did care about him btw)

But cheerful?? Does this mean Merlin smile more in front of Escanor?

It’s a shame really. I wonder what could have gone differently if Escanor had confessed his deep feelings for her sooner, maybe even back when they weren’t wanted criminals yet. Maybe he wouldn’t have become collateral damage to her plans. I hate how the anime portrayed their farewell kiss, the manga did it so much better. I’m not a big fan of how emotionless she is in the anime compared to the melancholy and the sinking realization that she couldn’t back down anymore. How her eyes looked so sad in the manga but the anime missed the mark completely.

Another harsh assumption is that Merlin tried to kill Elizabeth. No, she can teleport Elizabeth quick enough there won’t be a scrape. Reactivating her curse sounds extreme but even if Merlin hadn’t done it, Elizabeth would probably still encounter some near-death experience in purgatory and that would reactive her curse too (still don’t really get how this works as some said Merlin needs to have the power equivalent to a god to reactivate her curse? But personally I think Merlin managed to do it because the demon king isn’t dead yet). And also the curse required Meliodas to “watch” her die so technically since he wasn’t watching, Elizabeth wouldn’t die.

Anyway, Merlin is selfish and I still love her. God forbid a woman has hobbies (literally lol).

Ya know in retrospect, Merlin bringing Escanor back is a perfect example of her gluttonous side where she doesn’t want to lose the very person who loves her unconditionally despite everything.

Here with Merlin and Gowther sibling rant again

SEE SEE MF'S DO THE SAME POSE

[librathefangirl]

for the fic wip ask game (if you wanna do it!):

live

Oooh, yes thank you <3

I actually had quite a few "live", so obviously I'm gonna share them all (because I have no self-control about this)

Tucked Between His Hearts

Meliodas knows what is hidden inside his own little nook. The secrets he hides from the world; the secrets he doesn’t even let Merlin see. The barest, most rough pieces of his soul. He still feels them, but he barely dares to speak them even in the privacy of his own mind. So he tucks them away. Keeps them hidden between his hearts – like the secret journal he wrote and stashed away underneath the loose rock in his bedroom back in the Demon Realm, or the baby’s breath flowers Elizabeth gave him that is probably still pressed tight between pages of warfare strategies. It’s the same place he held the naïve dream of peace across the realms, the place his love for Elizabeth first grew; it is where most of his regrets now live.

At Least It Wasn't the Heat

Merlin was going to kill him. He was about to freeze to death in this heat – which shouldn’t even be possible; he had handled far hotter places than this in the Demon Realm. This was honestly ridiculous. Merlin was never going to let him live this down. That was, after she finished killing him, of course.

melban purgatory au

No matter how he had tried to go through life alone, unconnected, Ban was no stranger to loss. And as he stood there, glaring at the remains of a portal to endless death, being free of harm for the first time in almost a millennium, he knew that taking that last leap had been a mistake. Ban had lost people before; his little sister, Zhivago, Elaine… he wasn’t prepared to add another name to the list. How could he? Meliodas wasn’t dead. Maybe what Ban was about to do would negate the sacrifice Meliodas had made for him. Maybe it would make it all worth it. Ban had never been good at doing what he was supposed to, and this time he knew he couldn’t do that. There was no way he could just move on and live life as if the past few centuries? hours? didn’t exist. No, Ban was going to do something else instead – probably the dumbest thing he had done in all his life – and that was saying something.

hitmen!demon bros au

By the age of 25, Meliodas had been faced with more choices than he’d thought he ever would. When your father is the merciless, dictatorial leader of a hitman organization… it’s easy to feel like you live a life without choice. His father had decided on his fate before Meliodas had even been born. But the thing about fates? Nobody else can choose yours for you. Only you can decide your life.  Everybody has a choice… It was something Elizabeth had taught him; it was something that Meliodas clung to as everything crumbled into disaster around him.

Unknown wip (either part of my Came Back Wrong au or some other random fic??)

Meliodas is struggling to breathe. He shouldn't be. He's been breathing for 3,000 years. Why is it suddenly hard to breathe? It's like his body has forgotten how to. How to breathe, how to function, how to live... He can feel Merlin at his side. A steady and constant presence through his hellish world. Passing in and out of his life but somehow still always there. She places a hand on his shoulder. The touch sends a current of electricity through his body; burning and cooling all at once. His breath hitches again and suddenly she has wrapped her arms around him. She presses him gently against her side. One hand entangles into his hair like a firm reminder. He's not alone. They can still fix this.

Send me a word and I'll share a piece of the wip it's in!

This is my first time really posting anything like this so please ignore any awful mistakes,, TωT

Feel free to use any!! (/◕ヮ◕)/

[maelswife]

Why do people refer to Nasiens as Female already?😭😭 ,I don't get it yeah Nasiens body may be changing but does it mean Nasiens is female now? I don't see the signs🤷

I feel like I'm the wrong person to get asked this because I haven't been keeping up with that arc...

To answer your question— because of the fact that he was genderless the whole series, just for it to be revealed that fairies get their sex opposite to the person they love (from what I heard atleast) it's implied he's becoming a woman rn, and I doubt Nakaba has an enough open mind to do anything else with him than just change his gender.

Though, even if he IS becoming a woman rn, many 4koa fans (including me) do not condone of this fact, because it's making Nasiens' whole character to be a queerbait, and let's remember this is Nakaba— he definitely planned Nasiens to be Kiane's child and become a woman in the future. Also, the whole love triangle thing is making Nasiens seem like just another mc love interest which is... ugh

[taeloke]

i an poking you in the arm give me some adult king headcanons cause i swear NONE EXIST ON THIS WEBSITE IVE LOOKED

My time has come.

This is the part where I channel my roleplay muse for this man hold on-

King's awakened personality is half-genuine and halfway an act. His maturity has improved significantly, but he still worries too much over his past mistakes. He now tries to make up for them by trying too hard to be "the best king". Thankfully, his friends and family never let him hide himself under formality around them, and Diane argued with him once to make him tone it down overall.

He still has his signature hoodie and pajamas. He misses when they suited him, but he won't admit it.

King still sleeps with Chastiefol's pillow form. In its awakened state, it can expand into a pillow for the whole family.

He will outlive nearly everyone he knows. King knows he will, but he avoids giving anyone any clues about it...but we all know how well that goes for him. The Sins all have an inkling.

Ban knows. He asked Elaine about why King wanted them to visit so often in recent years and confronted King based on what Elaine told him. It escalated in a typical fashion between them.

He has the longest list of potential baby names out of everyone--even more than Diane's list. He's a walking Fairy Baby Names Dictionary.

After meeting Dahlia in Cursed by Light, he's very disappointed in the 2nd Fairy King's attitude toward his past duties. Gloxinia became the person King respects the most since then.

He's wondered what the Sacred Tree would be like if it had an active will like the other deities did. If it would be as cruel or insistent about enforcing its definition of balance in the world as they were. If it would curse others for opposing it. He doesn't think that to doubt it. He never would. He simply wonders from time to time.

He still has issues controlling his heart reading sometimes. It's a result of his power being so filled to the brim. Sometimes it just spills a little, so sometimes he can't help reading every thought or feeling for moments at a time. It gets even worse when he drinks.

King rarely nosebleeds now that he's a married man. Nosebleeds happen when the thoughts™ are resisted. And yes, Diane asked about it. After an awkward conversation with a good resolution, King's nosebleeds ended up becoming even rarer.

He sings. King has a perfect singing voice for lullabies. Every one of his kids fondly remember him singing them to sleep after they had a nightmare.

I am suffering a lot for the huge hate King is receiving everywhere for the last chapter. I really didn't wait years for this arc just so the author just comes and decides to screw up the character in such an awful way. I expected some drama, but I think an author can do that without destroying the characters' development built during an entire prequel. I just pray Nakaba don't last to make King explain everything, because now for each chapter delaying the explanation, it means another week of hate towards King just because everyone mistunderstood the whole situation

Listen...I'm on the King defense squad here and here's the deal, I don't think Nakaba screwed up his character in an awful way, if anything Nakaba screwed King over (that's probably an overexaggeration). The whole point of what happened in the chapter is stitching up conflict. Emotions are high and everyone ran with their assumptions.

Tioreh flew away thinking Mertyl will be thrown away because the last time she saw a changeling prank, the human baby was put back to the humans and the fairy baby was brought back to the fairies. She's a child, and that's how she associated the situation and Diane didn't even get a chance to say anything cause she flew away.

Phao overheard everything and is most likely gonna snitch to the others.

Mertyl was insecure about his situation but Kiane ensured him his entire life, sure they didn't tell him that he's adopted and him realizing that he can cause major stress but he must know that they love him a lot, they literally took care of him for 18 years, he's most likely still coping that the drug can fix him. But it most likely won't cause he's human in the fairy realm. Him taking that drug is like drinking the antidote and drinking the poison again. He felt betrayed at the moment which is valid for him but he didn't know that the drug wasn't even for Nasiens.

Nasiens also jumped to his assumption here. Sure, on the surface he made valid points but hey King didn't get a chance to explain himself. He also doesn't know that Mertyl is human so there's that.

King did the best he thought he could do, yes I admit he made mistakes that resulted in this entire conflict to explode the way it did but he has his reasons. Besides, he didn't know that Mertyl and Sixtus are there.

Speaking of Sixtus, he's my shining light in this situation. He can fix this (I hope)

With these types of dramas it's easy to blame the parents because they're the parents and most of the time their side of the story are the last ones shown and people cry after.

[the-face-in-the-mirror]

Hello, I love your nnt rewrite and the redesigns of the characters, but I gotta ask: are you gonna rewrite the abilities of the main characters or are you gonna keep them as they are.

Hi, thanks so much!

For the most part, the main characters' abilities stay the same, but I am changing a few. Ban still has Snatch and Gowther keeps Invasion. Escanor still has Sunshine, though I explore it a bit more and what it could be capable of. Merlin still has Infinity, of course, since it ties in so much with her backstory and why everyone wanted her in the first place, thus leading to how she got cursed; though, I might tweak it a bit since it's so overpowered in general.

I thought about changing Diane's to something that ties in with her Sin of Envy (a kind of mimicry ability), but the Giants tend to all have the same abilities, so I scraped that idea and decided to make her envy more as a sense of inferiority. In the rewrite, Diane is a lot less talented with her powers unlike other Giants (whereas in canon, she was noted to almost be a prodigy) and so was envious of others for being just naturally better than she was. This ties into the whole arc I made for her (both before and during the main story) of fighting tooth and nail to become stronger and more skilled rather than just being a natural. But I digress.

The only mains whose abilities are chanegd the most are King and Meliodas. Since King wasn't originally born to the Fairy King in the rewrite, I decided to give him Elaine's ability, Miracle Wind, from canon, while Elaine had Disaster. Elaine is tied to the earth, whereas King is more tied to the weather (which is a big part of nature) and can greatly affect it with his winds.

Meliodas, on the other hand, now essentially has Sound Manipulation (like Vanya/Viktor from the Umbrella Academy, but a little bit different). It doesn't quite have the same effect as Full Counter, but it more or less does the same thing with him using the sound of a person's attacks to reflect it back at them (which, of course, works even better if the person uses a weapon). To me, Full Counter always felt a little bit silly and the most video game-esque of the main powers (even before the power level element got brought in). Still, I DID like the aspect of being able to throw an attack back at an enemy when they attack you. Meliodas' power in the rewrite now ties in directly with his backstory and his role among the Goddesses before the Fall. It's also why he's teaching Gowther the Circle of Fifths from Music Theory in one of my previous drawings and why he has so many instruments in Elizabeth's room in the rewrite.

Thanks for asking! Let me know if you have any questions.

Guys AI is once again getting out of hand because what the hell is this??
