feb 2025 episode of octavinelle + 4koma updates!

***Note: no Episode of Savanaclaw manga update this month; Episode of Scarabia's first chapter drops on the 27th!***

It's time, guys... AZUL'S CHILDHOOD FLASHBACKS 🤡

Modern day Azul, octo form...! From only the back though.

Waaaaah~ The Coral Sea is so pretty!! I am certain that nothing could poooooossibly go wrong in this picturesque place :))

NUUUUUUUUU OTL NOT THE JUXTAPOSITION BETWEEN THE MERCHILDREN PLAYING IN THE LIGHT WITH EACH OTHER WHILE AZUL'S BY HIMSELF IN THE DARK IN HIS OCTOPOT...

THERE HE ISSSSSSSS 😭😭😭 ashdhvadoyd8tvqef8tqfasi Jade and Floyd are so right, Azul looks so squishy and cute...

It's interesting to fianlly get faces to put to Azul's bullies? They all do seem to be more humanoid merpeople than more sea creature-like ones (though the in-game silhouettes also implied this), which makes me wonder if the "they discriminate against octopus merfolk" theory have some kind of truth to it. A lot of it seems to be that they look down on him for spewing ink when he cries + his inability to swim fast; his limbs get tangled in things.

THOSE KIDS ARE SUCH DICKS THOUGH, AZUL WASN'T DOING ANYTHING TO THEM... Just swimming by with his stuff and that asshole had to tug on one of his tentacles, make Azul's stuff go everywhere, and knock Azul to the seabed... Poor baby's crying (and he inked too, which… uh, seems like the equivalent of wetting yourself in Finding Nemo but not sure if that’s the case here too)💀 KIDS ARE BRUTAL, MAN.

Also??? Confirmation that female merfolk wear seashell bras!! There's a background character that wears one.

OOOOOH Little Mermaid reference! We see a bunch of bottles in the same shapes as Ursula’s ingredients, but one thing that stuck out to me was this bubble with a butterfly in it. Ursula used a similar one to make her Vanessa disguise.

I like that the manga shows us how hard Azul worked to become the person we know today. We knew that he studied a lot and wrote a ton of spells using his limbs and the ink he produces, but we see him engaging in other activities to improve himself too. Like him lifting all those dumbbells!! That’s so impressive for a little kid.

THE TWINNNNNnmNnNNNNNnNs!!!! 😭 They’re so cute!! I think the super short hair (including the shorter black strands, lmao) looks very appealing on their smaller selves. The scales on their foreheads are a nice touch.

LMAO the way the twins just barge into Azul’s place and start digging through things 😭 No sense of privacy, I guess.

cbksbejebzoGsown NOT AZuL GRABBinG THEM AnD tOSSinG THEM OUT LikE TRAsH

And Jade and Floyd aren’t even bothered by it… They’re acting like it’s fun and they just got off some free roller coaster ride or something 😂

So like the game, they first encounter Azul as kids but they more directly approach him and offer to help him out in middle school?

Speaking of middle school, we get to see Octavinelle from this era as well!!

Jade and Floyd look very similar to their modern day selves, but you can tell that Azul notably still has some of his “baby fat”. By high school, it’s all gone.

… Anyway, I can see that the shady seafood trio still had their signature sketchy smirks, even all the way back then. This does not bode well 💦

This month's 4koma focuses on Riddle and his fellow Equestrian Club members! Riddle is trying to make a pumpkin carriage for Halloween, while Silver and Sebek provide feedback on how well the carriage suits Malleus's needs. Riddle also goes on to get help from Heartslabyul.

asdhlbiaogyvsfapa MALLEUS'S EGG (Tamago-sama..._ MAKES A CAMEO...

That's it for this month! On the 27th, we get to meet a new Yuu for the Episode of Scarabia, so I'm looking forward to that.

Jade's been doing the thing.. y'know the thing since he was a kid

The hand thing!!!

And apparently the tweels just decided to leave that one strand of black hair to grow?????

Also hi I'm not dead guys I swear I have art cooking in the background (they might be very very burnt)

Day 18! Babies🐿️🐙 In honor of Azul's b-day on Feb 24

[ladyazurith]

Azul just minding his own business, and then Ace gets his Unique Magic.

[dizplicity-draws]

In celebration of canon baby Azul, Jade, and Floyd in the new manga update, here’s an old drawing I never posted before ^.^ Baby Azul is imagining what it would be like if he only had one tail, but the tweels are not amused.

It’s still technically unfinished (I wanted to do better shading and clean it more), but I figured posting it now was better than letting it sit in my files forever 😅 I just quickly updated the tweels hair and Azul’s body to better match the new chapter in the manga.

I love them so much >.<

MY BABIESSS WHHAHEHDHEHAJHAW

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Can you talk about a character’s physical strength and how strong they are? Isn’t Azul very strong and able to lift heavy things?

is anything mention about wizard being more physical strong or anything?

There's nothing that states that mages are stronger or more physically capable than a magicless human. However, it's important to consider that a mage's overall health and wellbeing contributes to their blot accumulation and recovery. You're recommended to eat and sleep to get rid of blot. This is why NRC has its students in P.E. class and organizes Vargas Camp: to keep the boys in shape for spellcasting.

About half of the cast are in athletic clubs. This includes Riddle, Ace, Deuce, Leona, Jack, Ruggie, Floyd, Jamil, Epel, Silver, and Sebek. I would also argue Jade counts as athletic, but his club is sort of a middle ground between athletic and cultural. The others--Cater, Trey, Azul, Kalim, Vil, Rook, Idia, Ortho, Malleus, and Lilia--are in cultural clubs. This doesn't automatically make everyone in athletic clubs stronger than those that aren't though. For example, Riddle has very low physical stamina (something which Kalim comments on in Riddle's P.E. Uniform vignette) and Rook, despite being in Science Club (ie a cultural club) is quite strong.

Here are some notable (physically) strong or muscular characters from NRC's student population!

Please note: just because I don’t list a character here doesn’t necessarily mean they are weak; a character could be fit/healthy but not be in this list because there isn’t anything in canon which indicates them as being a standout in terms of strength.

Deuce (ex-delinquent; infamous in his hometown)

Trey (he bakes (ie lifts heavy bags of flour and sugar) and used to play soccer; Magical Archives states his build is actually surprisingly thick, even moreso than Rook I think)

Leona (do I need to explain this one)

Jack (do I need to explain this one part 2)

Azul (grip strength)

Floyd (his infamous squeezing)

Jade (is able to hold his own in fights with his twin; he was also taught self-defense as a kid)

Jamil (professionally trained bodyguard)

Vil (trains with personal trainer who was an master kickboxer; he is careful not to train too much to avoid becoming overly muscular)

Rook (tells a story about how he got lost in the jungle as a kid and survived by himself until he was found; an archer, which takes considerable arm strength)

Malleus (can literally crack open coconuts with his bare hands and punch holes in cave walls to retrieve magestones)

Silver (Lilia's hellish training + he is a knight)

Sebek (same reasoning as Silver)

Lilia (an ex-war general, trained the other Diasomnia boys himself)

***Honorable mention goes to Ortho, whose physical capabilities vary depending on the Gear he is equipped with at any given moment.***

Let’s talk about Azul in more detail since he a the character named in the ask!

In the second Beanfest event, Floyd reveals that Azul actually has "crazy grip strength", even if his speed, reflexes, and stamina are lacking. This is because "Octopi are all muscle" and Floyd doubts that Azul's "crazy grip strength" would have diminished simply because he is currently in a form more suitable for land.

This is confirmed in book 6; Azul states that, "I'm confident I could take [Riddle] even without magic. My arms are quite powerful, unlike [his]." He is also confident that he can help Riddle hold up their Thunder Spear later in book 6, but it shocked by its heft. This suggests that Azul is used to having the strength to easily lift things.

Azul's arm strength persists in other events too. He is able to, for example, pry Stitch off when he was clinging on to Yuu for dear life, potentially drowning them both.

In an event yet to come out to the EN server (Tapis Rouge), Azul is able to keep pushy reporters at bay when they try to swarm Vil.

Finally, in Azul's Outdoor Wear vignette, it seems that Azul is well aware of his strength, but purposefully plays up being weak to make this situation stick out in Kalim's mind. He's being a real drama queen about helping Kalim gather firewood because he's hoping to get something out of this "kindness" later.

So yes! Azul is strong, even if he may not look it.

𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 : a sleepy morning with jade

𝐚/𝐧 : this has been sitting my drafts for a bit so why not post it. I WANNA GIVE HIM A LIL SMOOCH

Slowly opening your eyes, you were greeted with complete darkness. A confused groan left your lips as you blinked a few times, adjusting to the lighting. Your eyes flicked around the room, until they landed on your boyfriend.

Tousled teal hair splayed across the blue satin pillowcase, painting it with color. A singular piece of black hair laid gently across his cheek, following the curve of his jaw. The electric heterochromatic eyes you adored so much were covered by his eyelids, which were softly shut. And finally, a sleepy grin was spread across his pale visage. He looked like an angel.

A loving smile spread across your face as your gaze softened towards your lover. If it weren’t for the fact you personally knew the beauty who laid beside you, you would have thought he was a prince from a fairy tale.

Heat rose to your cheeks painting them a soft shade of red. You pouted, you really are a love fool, aren’t you? You brought your cold palm to your face in hopes of calming yourself down, but you were met with the piercing azure gaze of your “prince.”

“My dear, were you staring at me while I slept?” His voice is a whisper, yet it was warm and teasing as his voice always was. His sly grin was ever present just as it had been even in his sleep. Your eyes widened.

“…no?” You uttered. Though, your voice sounded more similar to a squeaking mouse rather than your usual voice.

Jade inched closer to you, his amused gaze trained on you. He was enjoying this; possibly a little too much. “Are you sure?” He pressed.

You grinned nervously at the eel. “…maybe?”

The intensity of his stare softened as he let out a little chuckle. He then lowered his head to lay his forehead against yours, continuing to admire the sweet sight in front of him. “I’m flattered. I must look quite ethereal if I've captured your attention.” He teased, sliding his hand up to caress your cheek.

Placing a hand over his own, you leaned into the warmth of his palm. “You’re always pretty, Jade.” But you already know that, don’t you?

He placed a soft kiss on your forehead, and continued to gaze at you. There was a dusting of red across his cheeks, Jade wasn’t one to be easily flustered. Perhaps it was from the genuity of your words. “Thank you, love. I suppose I just enjoy hearing it from you.” He admitted.

A silence fell between the both of you as jade took a glance at his alarm clock, his eyes widening slightly after noticing the time. “Ah, it’s almost time to start the day.”

He then looked back at you before suggesting something that almost made your heart leap excitedly out of your chest. “Would you like to join me this morning, dear?”

It wasn’t often you woke up at the same time as your boyfriend, better yet before him, so you didn’t waste a moment with your reply. “Of course, Jade.”
