#poor snuffy :(

[marcsnuffy]

I like that Ego and Noa's designs contrast yet parallel each other somewhat

[mrsnuffy]

I see people compare Mick and Barou a lot but. have you considered.

[satoriberry]

looking at recent chapter leaks is so insane because what the fuck did snuffy go trhough bro 😭

[milaisreading]

Crossdresser!Yn AU:

Loki: Sooo...

CD!Yn, while looking at a game: What?

Loki, putting an arm around her shoulder: Isn't it fun how we get along so well? We should go and eat dinner when this is over-

Noa, entering the room: You think that?

Loki, jumping away when he hears Noa's voice: Mister Noa, sir! I was just keeping an eye on your adopted son, who I otherwise don't know!

Noa, eyeing Loki suspiciously: Really?

Loki: Y-yeah!

CD!Yn:..

CD!Yn: Adopted what?

------

CD!Yn, while eating past: You were right! It tastes much better with the original tomato sauce than the store bought one!

Lorenzo, smiling proudly: I know it does! We should definitely meet up a lot more often and try the different recipes I- Oh, we can make dates out of it!

CD!Yn, nodding along: Sounds good-

Snuffy: What are you kids doing?

Lorenzo: Nothing much

CD!Yn: Lorenzo and I are planning dates.

Lorenzo, noticing Snuffy's lips twitch: Are you alright?

Snuffy: Of course! I will join you guys on these dates as well. Is that alright?

CD!Yn: Fine with me. And you, Lorenzo?

Lorenzo, looks at Snuffy's warning glare:...

Lorenzo: ...Sure...

----

Chris: What a nice day-

Charles: Come on!! Please! Just one!!

CD!Yn: I don't know... I think you should save that for your partner-

Chris, while eavesdropping: Huh?

Charles: But I want you! Please! I even brushed my teeth for this!

CD!Yn: The way you said it makes it sound like you usually don't brush them-

Charles: Please just one kiss! Please!

Chris:?!

CD!Yn: Fine-

Chris, slamming the door open: Kids, let's go and practice!!

Charles, grumbling: You are not one of our coaches!

Chris: True, that's why I will bring you back to Loki and you, Yn to Noa! Far away from each other.

Charles: What?! No!

CD!Yn, oblivious: Ok

-----

Lavinho: Otoya. No.

Otoya: Come on! Yn and I always cuddled while we slept!

Lavinho, while pointing at the sleeping girl: Shush. No, you will not cuddle him while I am around.

Otoya: You act like I can't be trusted

Lavinho: Nothing personal, kid. I don't trust any of you around Yn. Now, be quiet. The poor boy is all tired from his previous game

Otoya: Fine... Can I at least kiss him when he wakes up?

Lavinho:???

Lavinho: No. Leave him alone.

Blue Lock driving headcanons Why? Well why not

Btw I have zero idea what I’m even talking about here

Isagi:

Isagi was always use to either his dad or mom driving him around so he wouldn’t really think of getting a license ( especially when he’s in bluelock ), but at some point in few years he realized that the number 1 striker should probably know how to drive

Bachira

Probably knows how to drive a bike, besides that the closest thing he ever got to driving a car was one of them toy ones his classmate had

He would just let one of his friends ( aka Isagi ) drive him around , he’s more of a backseat princess than a passenger one

Chigiri:

Chigiri just lets his mom drive him around to school and such . His sister does as well when he’s visiting her

Chigiri is just a princess

Kunigami:

Sister kunigami was actually teaching Ren how to drive… but then Bluelock happened.. and then the wildcard

But after everything is settled he does touch the idea of learning how to drive again

Barou:

Barou got a sports car, black with red leather seats, for his 18th birthday from his father. A week or so later he got his license

he drives his two little sisters EVERYWHERE. The moment one or both of them are feeling a little down by just a little, Barou immediately gets the car ready to go to the mall and spoil them rotten

Barou has a couple of rules when it comes to having people in his car . And the number 1 rule is " NO EATING IN THE CAR ". Also has extra floor mats

Those rules don’t apply to his sisters btw

Shidou:

Does Shidou have a license? No , does he know how to drive? Yes , is he good at it? WELLL-

You won’t die but the amount of stress you’ll feel probably isn’t good ( unless your name is Itoshi Sae )

Aiku:

He knows how to drive ofc , after training with the U20 team he’s dangling his carkeys loudly with a cocky smug smirk asking if anyone’s up for a ride

He wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle at some point, do you know .. increase his popularity with the ladies

Karasu:

When Karasu’s 18th birthday was around the corner his older sister and grandma were teaching him late at night. Granny kept nagging at his ear the whole time .. but don’t worry everything tuned out alright, took his driving lesson a week after

Otoya:

Otoya thought about learning about how to drive just so he can seem more cool but ends up forgetting about it .after he met Karasu during bluelock he just uses him as his personal ride from now on

Yukimiya:

Yukki knows enough to drive around late at night he knows that if his eye condition gets worse that he won’t be able to do something like this again 

Rin:

Rin always knew that he’ll get his driving license eventually but he wasn’t in a rush… but the moment he heard both Isagi and Sae have theirs , Rin had to get his as soon as possible when he turned 18

Sae:

Sae has a license, he just likes it when other people drive him around instead( aka his manager)

The only reason he ever got it was because he wanted to go to the beach late at night alone without any worry

Lorenzo:

Snuffy had the great idea of teaching Lorenzo how to drive! … yeah the first time didn’t go so well.. might have ended with Snuffy needing his car fixed.. but Lorenzo is definitely getting better!!

Kaiser and Sae had the misfortune of being Lorenzo’s first two guests to ride around with… Kaiser felt like he was gonna have a heart attack meanwhile Sae was regretting his life choices that lead him here

Kaiser:

Kaiser finally had it .. a beautiful custom designed sports car , a hunk of steel and metal that was peak german engineering , something to show off how far he has come , something he bought from his well earned money

Ray Dark: it’s beautiful . Good choice, Kaiser.

Kaiser: oh ah- Well you don’t think that I, Michael kaiser , would have poor taste.

Ray Dark: No no of course not .. you’re no longer that helpless 15 year old I found. Why don’t you take her for a little ride?

Shit.

Kaiser: OH- um why of course - just give me a -

Ray Dark: You don’t know how to drive, don’t you?

…

Ray Dark: * sigh * I guess you’ll have to take some lessons first . Don’t want you getting into trouble

Ness:

Ness has always ridden a bike growing up, honestly if it was up to him he would use a bike forever

It fits his whole aesthetic you know? He has a lot of silly little wizard themed stickers on his old bike

He thought about riding a motorcycle before… hmmm

.

The end

[witch-from-a-block-of-flats]

Kaiser's backstory is a heartbreaking masterpiece.

I'm not talking just about the panels that we saw but more about the buildup and hints we as fans picked up along the way. The whole time we theorized about Kaiser's backstory I had that little voice in the back of my head that was like: "we probably exaggerate it, it's not going to be that dark, we can't be 100% correct".

And oh boy I wish we weren't.

Color blue as a sign of impossible and unhealthy perfectionism? Tattoo around the neck as a symbol of mental health struggle? Old, dirty ball as a hint towards poor family background and potential abuse?

It was all there and now that we've seen leaks from chapter 260 I'm kinda glad that authors didn't just decide to trick us in the name of reveal nobody could expect. Also, it wasn't done for the cheap shock value. We were introduced to more serious topics in NEL starting with Hiori and then going even darker with Snuffy. Everything fits with theme of experiencing the real world which is dark, unfair and unforgiving.

Kaiser's backstory despite many hints and signs in the past hits like a truck and leaves you speechless. Many of us knew or at least suspected what was coming but seeing it drawn so graphically right in front of you is just... it's a lot to take in. I dare say it leaves even bigger impression on you if you were reading fan theories or making them yourself because it made you think more about this character. He was interesting enough to made people care about what happened to him before Blue Lock. We wanted to know, so we started connecting the dots only to be terrified but the result.

Clever foreshadowing and graphic reveal. I don't even have to talk about how Kaiser's past explains a lot about his character and actions, we've already seen it in every clue authors have left for us.

I love Blue Lock's writing so much.

[captainaikus]

can i can i request a visual for ness or lorenzo? i feel like the yan baby and the zombie baby are overlooked a lot🥺

They are actually! I'm glad you sent an ask in for Lorenzo (': I’m gonna roll with him cause not even once has he made an appearance on my blog (do u guys want one of ness?) This one got a bit long cause there's a whole lot of stuff and my heart bled while writing for him </3

Body analysis : Prominent features are - his adonis belt and around it; has veins on his lower adonis belt. he has lower back dimples, and does plan on getting tattoos. Lorenzo has very long and nimble fingers (his palms and fingertips are scarred) with a prominent vein on the underside of his forearm. He is skinny-lean, prominent collarbones and an adam's apple. His skin is pale (he becomes more flesh colored when they go to the beach) ... Raven happy trail. He trims but he is messy (doesn't see the point of it. "Dah, it's natural why do i have to get rid of it?" *shrugs*) has dyed it purple before i will get into the dirty details and say ; ladies. this man is not scared of a bush. (he is more scared of things escalating with a woman than body hair if I'm being completely honest.) He has scars. They're not visible and have lightened up over time but he has a ton of them if you look more closely at him.

character analysis : more wholesome at the start ; but then it gets smutty towards the end. (he is a sub leaning switch and there is a reason for that as well) He is humble, grateful, appreciative of things and greedy at the same time (but there's a good reason for it.) Since he grew up poor and was abandoned by his parents on the streets, Lorenzo has had to fend for himself and anything small that you could toss away was like a treasure find to him. Pickpocketing was a job he used to live on and his living standards went so low that even his teeth became rotten (later replaced with gold teeth) Because he grew up on the streets there was barely any time for education and after snuffy opened a new world for him, he understood the value of money, work and the importance of it. So while he appreciates the things he has he is also greedy from the sense of deprivation he grew up with. (Question is - if i can afford it and if i want it, why can't i buy it?) But after growing up under snuffy's guidance he learns to value work and understands how to treat money accordingly. (he understands the better concept of earning - and learns to enjoy the fruits of hardwork)

One of the thoughts that he used to embrace was dying while living out on the streets but over a period of time, he learns that there is a lot more to live for. He loves going to rave parties cause if we're being honest, only people with a certain social status can get in so when he gets the title of an ace eater and is a footballer - he gets free access and no one can stop him. (he used to be outside venues that had rave parties so that he could scrounge for food and now he doesn't have to do it cause unlike years ago, he is in the rave and not outside of it) • An uncanny encounter (with an older lorenzo) - on his way home, he is pickpocketed by a kid and holds their arm when they try to get away with his wallet. He does a lot of charity work at the end of it cause he wants to save people who were like him (hopes to be a figure to someone like Snuffy was for him) [ Younger Lorenzo in comparison to this believes in the law of natural selection so he changes drastically as the years go by.]

Lorenzo steals food. He'd want a bite of whatever you're having (if you ordered something different from him and even applies when you're both eating the same thing). Always order 2 of your food choice if you decide to dine out. He likes Mcdonald's happy meals cause it comes with a free small toy (he keeps them on his shelf) (he is childish in a relationship)

He has never cared about his scars - he sees them everyday in the mirror. Living on the streets came with its own set of obstacles of - getting into fights, getting hurt from shrapnel on his hands, sometimes barely being able to run away with his life, messily done stitches either by himself or encountering people who did it for him, but when he meets you, he starts to notice them a lot more so he starts to have a seed of doubt. Kiss. his. scars. (and his tattoos)

It makes his eyes roll into the back of his head and he feels like he being healed. He loves the concept and idea of love but when he finds you - who is devoted, committed and affectionate for him (and just him) he is in love with the idea of being in love with you. And he wants more of it. loves it when you're on top of him and you're taking control cause you're giving him everything you have. While you're under him, he's taking everything you have to offer and will give to him while kissing your neck passionately. Where should your hands be? On him and always on him. Hates it when you're holding the headboard or the sheets so it's in his hair, his hands - fingers entwining with yours, or his back where he can feel your fingertips clinging to his skin. He moans loudly cause he knows you love it and he is extremely vocal in bed cause he wants you to know the effect you have on him and how good he feels. Physical touch does things to him and it is important for him - you can be assured that any part of his body is always touching you. He sits close to you, his shoulder touching yours. He will always hold your hand and rolls his eyes when you pull it away from him. (he will grasp harder if you try to do that his bicep flexes subtlety when he does that... its hot.) He grows fond of hickies. First he hates the look of it since it takes him back to the old days of when he used to get hurt, but the feeling of your tongue on his skin and of how you left it on him with his hand caressing your head when he sees it in the mirror changes his mind otherwise. he's a sadomasochist.

He asks hard hitting questions on days and you have to assure him ; "Do I really make you happy... are you sure? I don't want you to be sad ok?" He smiles when you tell him how much you love him in return. Reaction varies between on the verge of ugly crying and clinging to you or being ecstatic and pinching your cheeks with a soft playful touch - "I love you too."

[pistatsia]

i really really want to see barou's reaction to the loss. will he be as accepting as lorenzo? or will he be angry about it? what do you think?

Oh, gosh, I have no idea but I totally want to see it! I think he'd be mad (especially since it's Isagi who defeated him), but I believe that Ubers really taught him a lot. So I think he'd be more respectful than he could have been before NEL start. Plus others in his team are quite sad but chill, and I think Barou is a really good leader for them. So I think he'd be more focused on encouraging them (in Barou rough style haha) than on getting lost in emotions (like Mr. Worst Haircut 2018-?). And I think the whole story with Snuffy and Mick really taught him a lot. Like, not a win in game but a win over himself and in becoming a better professional and human. That would be a really satisfying end for this game because of the whole "Sometimes you are the worse enemy for yourself" narrative (Mick, Snuffy, Barou, Kaiser's loss and Hiori and his self-restraint due to fear of being alone).

Btw I'm more interested in seeing Snuffy's reaction at this haha Barou will surely suffer a lot - Snuffy was mocking him so much with that 'unruly brat' in the last chapters. And scoffed him that Barou will be the one holding responsibility for the loss. He'll surely bully him about that loss till the end of Barou's career and even after 😭 And with Aiku, Aryu, Niko and Lorenzo as well (they definitely won't stand aside) Poor Barou lol

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Manifesting you get a bfb Karasu equivalent soon!! Trust all these randos are just preparing you for the real deal dw dw!!! But also LOL OK that’s good I can imagine the insane lore developments that come from your hangouts LMAO expanding the miraverse irl edition

LMAOOO yk aikus hit rock bottom when he’s asking Niko of all people for advice…but y/n and snuffy having a relationship like Lorenzo and snuffy have is so cute…I stand by snuffy on top as coach though but anyways this series would actually be so hilarious

This is so funny because you take two ends of the spectrum with playboy aiku and then losers Hiori and Rin and hopefully their ideas would even out to get someone normal….but yeah there’s no way either of them would go to aiku of all people LMAO the blind leading the blind truly HAHA

Ohhh yeah that’s right…Lowk I never understood that because I wasn’t under the impression that when like his entire class confessed to him that they did so solely because of soccer? Wtv ig middle school drama or something but tbh I thought it was more of his face card pulling than anything else so uh…I need one of those goofy trivia tidbits kaneshiro please I need to know…you’re right though there’s no way karasus considered ugly since he did pull Marisa…hm….also agreed if Raichi just shut up he’d be cool so maybe he only screams on field/in soccer mode??? LMAO but those four getting zero really shocks me like…ok yeah I think Isagi is not super interesting but you’re telling me NO ONE in the bllkverse wanted your average sweet boy (ig??)??? Like I’m surprised that he pulled absolutely no one given his rather easy going personality off field…maybe everyone just thinks like us though LOL

NAGI ISAGI DUO >>> I love them too Lowk nagi has so many interesting duo combos…but KIYORA THOUGHTS I was honestly not expecting that one trust I will be giggling when I see the irl miraverse Easter eggs

Ok but the gagamaru fic was so cute??? Him running and knocking on the window scaring the shit out of reader is so on brand for him too LMAOO another Mira W

That kiyora summary line goes hard….Im not a hardcore kiyora fan but when the reader isn’t normal you know that’s when the fic is gonna serve (this is reminding me about our convo on hollyhock LOL)

- Karasu anon

LMAOO no the hangouts always go crazy…plenty of opps created and situations developed…but it is what it is 🙂‍↕️ HAHA one day we will find someone fr but until then i shall content myself w writing abt silly little fictional men 🤩

no literally like aiku’s sobbing to niko and niko is just like ??? bro i’m 15??? LMAOO that poor guy ironically i bet it’s niko’s advice that makes him realize what’s going on because if even NIKO is saying smth then yk it’s bad…like oh man even the kid realizes i’m in love w her maybe i actually am 😭 and YESSS snuffy number one coach easily (although in terms of actual player development it’s lowkey chris prince he just got stuck w reo and nagi in their emo era but he’s helped chigiri mega slay so obv he’s doing smth right) i think it would be so cute if snuffy is like her fun adopted uncle or smth like maybe she knew lorenzo beforehand so when snuffy helps lorenzo out he helps her by extension?? so when snuffy’s like hear me out this aiku kid isn’t that bad and lorenzo is like facts she’s just like umm okay ig i’ll give it a shot??

HAHAHA hiori and rin vs aiku and otoya literally two opposite ends of the spectrum…take the average and you get karasu and yukimiya (definitely d1 piners but at the same time like they’ll do what they have to and actually ask a girl out without taking ridiculous measures to do so 😭)

no literally maybe it’s just because he became so unfriendly/closed off that everyone just felt awkward around him?? like oh chigiri is the emo one so no one wanted to give him a valentine…or maybe he was actively in rehab and barely at school back then 🤔 HAHA karasu is def that guy that’s actually hot but he doesn’t realize it and thinks he’s mid just based on what we know abt him 😭 i feel like people are probably intimidated by him which is why he didn’t get that many valentines or anything…like bro is def lowkey scary even though we know he’d never be a jerk to a girl i can def see girls seeing him be his typical mischievous jackass self and just being too scared to approach him 😓 LMAOO honestly raichi is probably more chill off field/with girls so ig i can see how he got valentines?? but yeahhh idk how isagi didn’t get ANY 😰 like WE think he’s a loser but i feel like in-verse he’s quite chill and pretty tall/athletic so how did he get NO girls?? i can see why bachira didn’t since he was canonically bullied and a loner and ig i can see why nagi didn’t since he’s apparently cursed 😭⁉️ but yeah isagi not even getting one is crazy…ig bllk girls are on the miraverse wavelength in that sense (i wish it said how many chocolates barou got because i can see him getting 0 as well or getting like a fair amount there’s really no in between)

NAGI AND ISAGI >>> second selection is literally my fav because those two are sooo good together i hope they’re reunited soon i lowkey find them more fun than nagi and reo 😓 nagi and barou both make every duo they’re in actively better (which is why their duo is the best) we love them for that…pls i wasn’t expecting kiyora thoughts from a nagi + isagi edit either like it was so random??? but when inspiration strikes ig…i guess that “vague kiyora prompt” entry in my notes app got to me fr 😭 i hope the person who requested it is okay with the direction i take it?? they literally just asked for a kiyora fic which could be anything so praying they don’t hate what i do with it 😩

LMAOO it was the best way i could incorporate what they asked for while still retaining that comedic flair that i tend to use in shorter fics 😵 i feel like gagamaru is one of those characters that’s hard to keep in character because he doesn’t have much of a character in the source material so any expansion feels like i’m taking too many liberties (currently the problem i’m facing w kiyora…like i’m making this up as i go because there’s literally nothing on him even in the wiki so it feels like i’m being way too inventive with how he’d react to situations but it’s just that there isn’t much to go off of??)

I LOVEEE WRITING NOT NORMAL READERS but ik not everyone enjoys them + this reader kind of has a strong character to really play off of how i’m writing kiyora which again not everyone really likes so fingers crossed the anon isn’t like WTF is this because that would be so embarrassing…hollyhock reader is definitely a little/lot worse than this reader though she’s on another level fr 😭

Blue Lock Manga

Chapter 221 scanlation ("Take Me With You") is out and ready for devouring! Going back to a numbered structure for this chapter's analysis. My half-formed thoughts are below the cut.

No chapter next week, due to a break.

Previous chapter analyses

1. How many injuries did that goal (and the shenanigans that lead up to it) cause??

Butt monkey Mandou Sendou, the Ubers goalie and best sharkboi Kurona all get benched this chapter. I'm glad Isagi is cognisant of how demanding he is of Kurona. He calls him his planet/satellite for a reason I guess, but must be exhausting, especially when Kurona doesn't know what he's planning or going for.

Meanwhile, Canoli the Ubers GK might have cracked a goddamn rib trying stop that crazy Kaiser goal. Mad respect, best NPC goalie so far. 💀 While Sendou's... being Sendou (comic relief/a victim of the narrative basically).

I'll say this once and only once:

Bless Igaguri for this, lol (and Neru). But most of all, poor Kurona - you don't have to hurt yourself orbiting Isagi bb 😭

2. Kaiser is done playing.

The reason I got excited seeing the leaks this week is because of how stone cold Kaiser is in this chapter. HE IS SO BOTHERED IT STINGS. Tell me that's not one pissed off catboi right there. Plus, the aura of thorns? Fuckin' sick dude. His ego is coming to the forefront now, and he's less king of the court, more tiger about to pounce.

Ugh, he's such an arse, but I really enjoy him as a character. He looks fit to murder Ness (who's unnerved, no bloody wonder) and all his dialogue revolves around how disgusted he is that he had to serve up Isagi's leftovers.

Imagine. You just scored THE GOAL of the Neo-Egoist League so far, but all you can think of is how badly you're doing in the feud you initiated against your seventeen year old Japanese teammate.

For once, I'm with Ness here. Kaiser what the hell? Just take the W and move on, man.

We saw Kaiser get more serious during the Manshine game, but he's never not been smug towards Isagi. Allow me a segue, as I flick through those chapters.

[[In chp 177, he leers at Isagi that he's losing interest (Isagi: and I took that personally).

In chp 181 he scores the first BM goal against Manshine. He shows the same cat-eyed focus (his version of Predator Eye I speculate), but he's still pretty satisfied with himself.

It's only when chp 182, when Isagi turns around and tells him I see hope in crushing you now that Kaiser starts to second-guess his little game with Isagi. Antagonising the Blue Lock ace is backfiring hard on him, because bullying Isagi is a surefire way of leveling him up.

Still. Even when Isagi sets up Kunigami's score in chp 185, and we get the I'm going to fucking kill you if it's the last thing I do moment, Kaiser's still like 😏 He's not bothered. Perhaps because Isagi's doing a fine job of usurping Ness's role, but not his own.

It's not until chp 202 that Isagi finally, seriously, starts getting at Kaiser. Because at the last minute, Isagi not only anticipated Kaiser fucking with him, but had a back up plan to specifically ensure Kaiser would not take the final score of the game. That's NG11 levels of playmaking, or at least approaching it. Itoshi Sae operates at that level, but he's a prodigy. Isagi's managed to close that gap in several intensive months of training and plays. that's why he's the protagonist 😎

After Yukimiya scores and ends the game in chp 203, that's when Kaiser approaches and proposes that, versus Ubers, they compete on goals alone.

That's when Kaiser starts to take Isagi seriously. And now that we're more than halfway through, you can see Kaiser is starting to worry about his odds of winning the competition he set.]]

I don't know how the BM v Ubers game will pan out. Convention suggests Ubers will win it. Barou is a serious rival to Isagi, and at the very least, he's going to get the next goal of the game. I wouldn't write off Ubers winning altogether, with Snuffy subbing on to turn the tide.

But I think there's a strong chance one of Isagi or Kaiser will score again, and I'm leaning towards it being Kaiser. Their rivalry is too good to wind up so soon, even with a rivalry-packed PXG match on the horizon. What will happen before that is Isagi driving a sea of change at Bastard Munchen. They're already five/eleven on the team. Change Ness or Grimm out for Hiori, and Blue Lock will have succeeded in infiltrating one of the best U20 teams in the world. No mean feat, and driven mainly by Isagi's playmaking.

Anyway, back on track. I couldn't sympathise with browbeaten Ness for too long. What in yandere hell was this panel??:

HE'S SO DERANGED. It's really well drawn and everything, but it's legit HAUNTING. Something about the V shaped mouth and massive teeth I think.

Anyway, Ness will need to be sedated after this match if Isagi ends up scoring the last goal, because man can't be trusted 😊🔪

Speaking of Isagi...

3. Japanese man obsessed with being the sole thing on German striker's brain, more PRIDE news at 10

they're so frickin gay, I--

Jokes aside, their rivalry is a feast for the eyes as well as us shippers. Everytime Kaiser talks shit about him, one of Isagi's cells morphs into a jigsaw piece. Man's going to have more puzzles than a ‎Ravensburger catalogue if he doesn't stop soon.

This panel goes so hard. Unfortunately the image quality of this week's scanlation is a little rough. I'm hoping there's better quality raws floating around for anyone that's into colouring, but this chapter has so many cool shots. This and Kaiser bitching out Ness are my personal favourites.

4. Star System Sub Alert! Marc Snuffy's coming in clutch for the Ubers side

I did kinda hope that neither Snuffy or Noa would sub in this game. Neither of them seem like the type to want to outshine their younger charges. Prince and Lavinho are both massive narcissists, while Loki is a peer as well as a coach to his PXG players. Those coming on in a game makes sense.

That said, Snuffy seems to really gel with and support the Ubers boys, and they're on the losing side. To me, that's the only sensible reason for him to step in, forcing Noa to come on also.

I think Snuffy's MO will be to set up a goal for Barou, while knocking Kaiser and Isagi down a peg. I hope he synergises with Lorenzo! Noa will be man marking Snuffy, but might get time to do some Isagi coaching while he's out there, who knows?

Either way, we get to see Snuffy in action on the field, which I'm down for.

Lastly: did anyone think Snuffy was that tall? Noa's got to be around Kunigami's range in height (so ~188cm/6'2" territory). From this panel, Snuffy's just as tall, which was a shock... 😶

5. OH LAWD HE COMIN

(and by comin, I mean: signing up to join Isagi Yoichi's harem of rehabilitated sad bois)

HIORI MY SON

WHEN WILL THEY SUB YOU INTO THIS GAME?

Not by the time I predicted, that's for sure. But I am excited to see his ego awakening as he looks with completely platonic admiration at Isagi.

All in all, a hype-worthy chapter, even after the adrenaline from Kaiser's mega goal fades. I'm so excited to see where it goes with two masters on the field (+ Fukaku Gen I guess? I feel validated for writing him into the national team in my post-canon fic haha).

Prediction tracker

(alternatively: how wrong can one nerd be week to week?)

Last time, I predicted: Chapter 221 will be both teams reckoning with this goal. We’ll likely get input from both Ubers and BM, and some sort of change in dynamic–be it a substitution or the coaches opting to play (reeeally doubt this will happen though, unless they get a nudge from Ego). In particular, I’m eager to see how Lorenzo and Hiori process this. Also, someone’s going to yell at Isagi. Kunigami or Raichi are my guess.

Egg on my face? Ah well.

We're down to two more chapters for Hiori to get subbed per my original prediction... chuckles nervously

Already went through my thoughts for where Snuffy/Noa are going to go with this, so I'll chalk that up as next chapter's prediction. See you then!

[muppenthings]

What do your ocs eat?

My free time. ;(

Hehehe ok really now! Since you didn't specify which OC/s I will present to you, a general list for them all!

Coastal and Oceanic mers are omnivores. They eat fish, shellfish, kelp, plants by the shore, seagrass and such. Coastal mers are more harvesters and eat less fish and more kelp while Oceanic are hunters and eat more fish. Merry is a coastal mer so they eat lots of kelp, seagrass and shellfish. :)

Cetus and Tide are carnivores, so they eat primarily meat/fish. Tide still eats whatever, because his metabolism is higher than normal due to being very active for a Leviathan. He'll eat kelp (some kelp he'll eat just for the taste) if there's nothing else, even if he doesn't get anything out of it. Plus he just likes eating in general (hates being hungry) and is always curious to try something new (he did loot ships transporting food for some time). Cetus is much pickier. If he had a choice he'd only eat cetaceans. But alas, the humans decide his diet for him. So he has to settle with more fish and red meat (sheep, cow, pig etc) with only the occasional whale.

Alvin is a carnivore too. Nagas are opportunistic so he'll eat anything he can get hold of. Boar, moose, deer, bear, fish, cow all's good. As he currently lives on a ranch, he's guarding the rancher's animals as part of an agreement. So now he mostly eats the domesticated animals he's rationed, with the odd predator that attempts to hunt the animals he's guarding. :)

Like all Saehls, Runt is a piscivore and mainly eats fish, shellfish, octopus and crustaceans. He can eat certain vegetables and fruits/berries too (like melon, banana, blueberries, pumpkins) but the nutrients he needs comes from fish! He's very happy to have some human food too (as long as it's rice or oatmeal based and thus safe).

Elmer is an omnivore and he can eat whatever's available, like a human can. Before he was sealed, he'd hunt giant elks native to the area or any other large game. But if the hunting failed, or the winter was particularly bad, he'd eat tree bark or branches. These are things he can't really digest but it filled an achingly empty stomach. He also ate honeycombs (think the entire nest) or plucked fruit from trees.

Coby became a carnivore after being infused with alien DNA (poor thing was a vegetarian before :,)). Any and all meat is acceptable and needed to keep his instincts from taking over.

Snuffy's diet was answered here!

Pyrra's species eats lots of grains, fruits & vegetables, seeds & nuts, fungi, eggs and insects. Meanwhile Erzikas has a similar diet, but with more fish and less grains. Thurior eats more meat, vegetables and grains! Her species also digest lactose very well, so dairy products is a staple in their diet.

Keiki is opportunistic too and will eat any giant sea creatures like sea serpents, fish, cetaceans, crustaceans etc. He'll also eat any Titanik fruits/vegetation he can reach from the shore. And he'll also eat ocean magic currents, basically magic. Magic fuels him for a lot longer than other foods. :)

Hilda, Frida, Alfredo, Archer, dr. Pugh, Brian, Jonathan, Alice, Magdaleine, Taniel, Amelia and Samuel are all humans. So they have a human diet. Lots of variations tho as they live in different timeperiods, cultures, lifestyles and worlds. And have different allergies and intolerances. But that's just too specific to get into.

Birdie (borrower) eats whatever she can get, but she's got a sweet tooth. If she aquires a toffee then that's what she'll eat the next couple of days. Who needs the food pyramid

[marcsnuffy]

I got this graph from this site & I don´t think it looks very reliable but still... $545 USD average per teeth removed + $998 per implant (plus the cost of the GOLD teeth). all you need to know is that Snuffy is insane for this.

How much does a mouthful of gold teeth cost anyway

"Spinney recalled that Hunt, at times, “would tease Jim to the point where it was embarrassing. Jim would walk across the set, and Richard would say out loud in front of me, ‘Here comes that rich bastard millionaire. ’ I don’t know why he would say stuff like that. Sometimes my wife and I would look at him and say, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ ”"

Ok honestly probably my favorite antecdote abt him in the book like what a fuck shit stirrer but also poor caroll n Debra i relate to them bc ive been witness to similar shit

"It was nothing under-handed. In fact, it was always open and out there, and always with a certain amount of humor. If you came to the show with any whiff of ego at all, with an attitude that you could be as funny as any of those other guys, he would tear you apart.

[[...]]

“Richard loved musical theater,” Robinson said, “and when he learned that I was doing something" [audrey ii ] "that was totally separate from the Muppets, something that he totally appreciated, that was when I started to be okay. It helped that my girlfriend at the time was Ellen Greene, who was the star of Little Shop. He adored her, as we all did, and he and Ellen went on to become very close.”

Also so funny imagine your girlfriend becoming besties w a dude who was pretty dickish to you (n a lot of others)

"It was art imitating life, as the puppeteer had as big a crush on Sonia Manzano as Snuffy did on Maria. “I was able to work out feelings through Snuffy,” Robinson said. “They wrote some really nice scripts about lovelorn Snuffy, and it wasn’t much of a stretch for me to play. We all had crushes on her.”"

So relieved to know that my first crush was bewitching to everyone

Caught up in Blue Lock and I have some things to say

spoilers below the cut!!!!

Let's go NAGI!!!

Omg poor Yukimiya I honestly thought it was too good to be true. At least he got to score a goal even tho Isagi helped him. Hopefully he gets the treatment for his condition (random note: he and Chris are so pretty! Nagi is still my favorite tho lol)

Why am I not surprised that Isagi was chosen by Ego

Hiori is so precious but I'm fighting his parents 😊🤜. I have a feeling he's gonna play in the Ubers match because of the zombie game panels and Lorenzo has a zombie like play style

I'm also fighting kaiser (Isagi calling him a clown was hilarious tho)

Why does Ness lowkey remind me of Yan-chan from Yandere Simulator

LETS GO RAICHI FOR FINALLY PLAYING! HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES

The mini Team Z reunion was 🥺 even tho Kunigami did not want to be there. I feel like he was on the inside

We love to see the Barou character development!

Poor Snuffy 😭

I love Niko's development but tell me why I burst out laughing when him or Isagi mention metavision

The shock from Kaiser’s backstory doesn’t come from the story itself rather it’s from how graphic it is

Let’s be real here everyone and their mom agreed and guessed that Kaiser’s childhood would have these similar elements to the one we had in canon

The most popular theory being that Kaiser was poor and was abused by his father

The hints were all there . From Kaiser choking himself to this double spread

But reading theories and reading fanfics that talk about Kaiser’s past is so different from actually seeing it happen in the manga in such a graphic way

Pictures of fictional portrayal of child abuse under the cut

Before chapter 260 the darkest Blue Lock has ever gotten was in Lorenzo’s and Snuffy’s backstories( and Hiori’s ) but even then I would argue that those three pale in comparison to Kaiser’s

Even if you see these panels once it stills lingers in your head 

It’s uncomfortable ( and it should be ) seeing it with your own eyes hits so much different than reading words of the idea of Kaiser’s backstory

Anyways just wanted to get some last thoughts before the translations come out for this chapter
