For the 4 ship classifications: astelle and astayuno :3

Ayo Spinda! Asking about some classic Black Clover ships, hm? Alrighty then~!

For Astelle, I find the ship makes sense and on the compelling side! Asta and Noelle are two absolute angels of people though their kindness manifests differently. Asta is more upfront which Noelle definitely wants and needs after the first 15 years of her life. Meanwhile, Noelle is hesitant to be soft but her kindness still shows in her determination to aid and protect. (The moment during the Star Award Festival where Asta looks at Noelle and goes "I like her quite a bit" after she takes the lead in helping soothe a lost little girl got me all KSJAHFLUAEHTIAHELTEALGHIUGHRIG!) Also, they see the best in each other. Noelle sees her magic as out of control and useless? Asta is in total awe of her power and just knows she'll master her magic one day. Asta laments that he's just a peasant boy who is lucky to have the friends he has, Noelle knows he's the hardest working and most deserving Magic Knight to ever Knight! They see the best and bring the best out of each other! How can I not adore this ship?! Trick question. I'm physically incapable of even being neutral towards Astelle.

As for Asta x Yuno, it makes a lot of sense but I'm personally not compelled. Asta and Yuno aren't merely orphans in the same church. They are each other's inspiration and rival. They believe in each other, challenge each other, defend each other. I can see why people would ship them because their lives are deeply connected. But I don't vibe with them as a romantic ship. I see them as friends and siblings but not as potential romantic partners. It's not just because I'm so into Astelle. I find ships like Mimosa and Leopold compelling too. But with Yuno, I just don't feel it.

Why is there an egg yolk in your oatmeal? Or is that, like... pudding??? What is going on with your meal of oats?

Are y'all ready to be so proud of me

For no particular reason just because I felt in the mood to make these: Pokemon Teams but for Power Rangers Jungle Fury. Because I’ve done Pokemon teams before for StEx so why not do it for my other long-term hyperfixation of 10 years.

Casey’s Team: Arcanine because it’s got stripes like a tiger, Litten and Meowth because they’re little cats (Litten is literally a baby tiger), Kommo-o and Garchomp because cool strong dragons he’d probably like (Kommo-o has scale armour that makes me think of the Strike Rider armour), and Passimian because Master Rilla.

Lily’s Team: Persian because it’s close enough to a cheetah, Jolteon because fast (and a doggo), Oricorio and Emolga because cute cheerful Pokemon (and Lily used to be a cheerleader), Cinderace because its a fast and active Pokemon (and Lily cannot sit still to save her life), and Eiscue because Master Guin.

Theo’s Team: I struggled on this the most for some reason. Shinx because it’s close enough to a jaguar (there’s no actual jaguar Pokemon), Alolan Persian for the same reason (also it has an ego), Sawsbuck because its close enough to an Antelope like Master Lope, Zebstrika because that’s also close enough, Sawk because it’s a blue fighter, and Crobat for Master Swoop.

RJ’s Team: Mightyena and Lyanroc because they’re close enough to wolves, Alcremie, Tatsugiri and Dachsbun because he loves to cook (cooking buddies who help him! :D), and Quaquavel because sassy dancing water duck who fits their vibe perfectly (RJ likes to dance, water relating him to Finn, and also the sass).

Dominic’s Team: Rhyperior and Aggron because they’re rhinos (sort of), Kangaskhan because it apparently has kaiju elements and it gives me Rhino Warrior Mode vibes, and Dundunsparce, Spinda, and Clodsire because they’re goofy and silly little fellas like Dominic.

Jarrod’s Team: Pyroar because it’s a lion, Shiny Luxray because it resembles the gold and black lion spirit, Absol, Umbreon, and Masbostiff because they’re strong and seen as sinister but they’re actually sweet and loyal, and Lycanroc because loyal doggo (Jarrod seems like a dog person).

Camille’s Team: Kecleon because chameleon, Zoroark due to illusions and disguising, Lilligant and Roserade due to being powerful feminine Pokemon, Salazzle for the same reason but make it more sinister (referencing her past with Dai Shi’s clan), and Volcarona because it’s the closest thing to a phoenix without just outright being Moltres or Ho-Oh (Volcarona apparently saves people and Pokemon from freezing and supposedly their fire replaced the sun during darker days and is considered a deity).

💫 New game: associate your mutuals and/or anons with something that fits their vibe! 💫

Sorry for taking so long to answer, anon. Just had... many other things to do. 😅

Also a lot of mutuals that I wanted to tag. Not all of them though because I have... more than I realized?

..........

@cringeyvanillamilk: Steph, gal, I associate you with glasses. I mean you wear glasses but also you're smart and cute, the vibes that glasses give off. That or you can be all cool and push up your glasses while light reflects off them to conceal your eyes as you scheme./j

@kaleidonope: This one's an easy one. Stars. You shine like stars and you have as many ideas as stars in the sky. Also, you're just fascinating, like a sky full of stars just begging to be admired. Finally, I know you just like space/galaxy patterned things. It's hard not to associate you with stars, bud.

@sludgedealer: One of those spotlights for stages. I'm remembering those weird theater days for one. But also, you've stolen the show a few times in the D&D campaigns we've played so that spotlight is deservedly on you! The only discrepancy with the association is that you're as cool as a cucumber while stage lights are scorching hot.

@cryo-visionary: A sketchbook. You have a creative soul. You draw and write so while you could be a notebook, the sketchbook is bigger and I think you have big, bombastic ideas for characters/stories. Let your creativity flow, my dear internet imouto~!

@spindaonateaspoon: A plush animal! Maybe it's because I can only imagine Spindas when I think about you but like... You're funny and supportive and, when need be, a vicious animal ready to call bs when you see it. Also, like a plush, friend shaped.

@loafingdragon: I associate you with a couch. Your blog title is one factor and also the vibes of comfort and just... chilling that couches give me. You of course can be serious and critical and man I love it when you intensely dig into things. But most of the time, you're just vibing.

@nothxkas: You know one of those pointer sticks that teachers use to point to things on a board/screen? I associate you with that. You can go on and on about topics that you're passionate about, like giving an intense lecture (but one I have to read). I don't always respond to the things you say but your mini essays have left such an impression on me.

@thoughtfullyrainynightmare: I associate you with a bookmark. Now I can't physically bookmark your work as I read it but I sorta digitally bookmark by keeping a reblog of your new chapters in my drafts so I remember to read them. I also associate you with knowledge and patience (it takes time to read a book and you take your time with people, don't you ever feel rushed). Also, bookmarks can be simple or fancy and you can either do sweet little oneshots or long, poetic tales of love and strife!

@simpingforthisonedeer: A desk. You are a researcher and a writer and an artist and all those things require desk space! Also, you're not afraid to get serious and put your foot down with people and it gives me the image of being sat across a desk from, like, the principal. You're stern but ultimately well-meaning.

@lyranova: A full tea set. Like CotF with its many families and mysteries, so too does a tea set also have multiple parts to it. Tea sets also make me think of sharing tea with friends. We're not exactly sharing tea when we chat, just next gen oc interaction ideas though.

@marune2: An inkwell. Old timey but gives a vibe of intelligence. Your main ocs (Heinrich and Ida) are intelligent. Also, I get the feeling that you're a fast reader which I tend to associate with intelligence (which probably isn't how intelligence actually works but I'm gonna roll with it). Also, most of your art is in black and white (but when you draw in color that art rocks so hard, seriously! 😍👏💖 I'll stop gushing like a fangirl, sorry./lh), so like black ink on white paper.

@faewraithsworld: A mirror. By sheer coincidence, our ocs and their arcs with their s/os parallel each other. But that's only one reason why I associate you with a mirror. The association also comes with the fact that mirrors can be polished to a shine and you have a bright, shiny personality! Also, mirrors are somewhat associated with beauty and I got the chance to hear your voice once and, well, I thought it was pretty in a welcoming and homey way.

@sailor-muno: A newer mutual so maybe tagging you will help break the ice some more but anyways, Bel, you are a journal. A journal to fill with notes and thoughts and maybe doodles. Full of potential for creativity. Also. Lots and lots and lots of words! You have so much to say, Bel! Also, paper. You've been talking about printing out lots of documents so you are going to be an overstuffed journal soon.

And since I have permission to shout out anons...

Ghost Anon: If you're reading this I want you to know that I associate you with a mug. A mug full of warm, honey ginger tea. You're warm and caring and remind me to take care of myself, which I do with a warm mug of tea.

[loosesodamarble]

New tag game!

Tag (a) friend(s) and an OC you would steal from them if you could.

@cringeyvanillamilk: I would steal Suzume from you, Steph! She is a sweet angel, funny, and incredibly brave! I would probably kiss her too. Yes, even above pretty bird Takayuki.

@cryo-visionary: I'm taking Iseul from you. She's a cool gal and she needs some sibling love! Also, she's a fan of KnY and I would love to gush with her (kind of the way we do). Would she call me eonni? I hope so!

@simpingforthisonedeer: Sorry to Aika and Arthur but Holly is my daughter now. No questions asked.

@spindaonateaspoon: Spinda, let me me real with you buddy. Ferro is a good, traumatized boy. And my motherly instincts tell me to adopt him.

@thoughtfullyrainynightmare: I would honestly just like to steal Solara if only so she and Helia could be a cool, sun lady duo together. I honestly think they'd be a great team.

JLTHEKTJRBTLRSUKJATAETAEHFSHRSYTSYEIATUKJEABEAKJHF!

YEEEEEEEES! "No homo" Fuegoleon makes his return! KDLJHFAEITKAEJTGBD!

THE WAY THE FIC WOULD CONCLUDE! I'M DYING! I'M LOVING IT! THANK YOU SPINDA!

Title: Don't Tell the Others but I Think They're all Gay.

Soda! Here with a fabulous idea as always!

Fuegoleon has a childhood friend visit from Heart (no reason to think he and his siblings never got to train there, right?) and of course he introduces him to all his Clover friends! They pal around together for a few days and this friend can't help but notice that Fuego and the bros are kind of.... Intimate?

But who is he yo judge? They're ll nice to him and they're having a great time. So it isn't strange until he sees Fuego do something extremely gay and then say "no homo."

He then tries to figure out what is going on, but unfortunately his gaydar is as bad as Fuegoleon's, even if his intuition is a little better.

By the end of his visit he's at his wit's end, and he finally takes the risk to ask one of the bros if they're in some kind of poly situation of what. "Oh, no," Rokken says, "we're all gay or bi, except for Fuegoleon, but none of us are together."

"But he acts gayer than any of you!" Friend gawks. "Why is he like that? And why do you all play along?"

"Hey, if you were gay and Fuegoleon Vermillion treated you that way, would you tell him to stop?"

[loosesodamarble]

Hey soda, why wouldn't you date Nozel?

Ah Nozel. My Silver Prince. My first love in Black Clover. Oh how I miss him...

But, just like Fuegoleon, he's a royal and captain so there'd be a lot of pressure that would come from being with him. And my mannerisms wouldn't be seemly in a royal court so he'd be too embarrassed to make the relationship official. While I'd understand, I'd also be really freaking pissed off at that. It's basically him indirectly saying that he doesn't want me to love him (and maybe even that he doesn't want to love me) because he doesn't want people to know we're together.

I guess another reason is that I really like my Nozelia (Nozel x Helia) ship. I haven't posted much about it but I'd rather have Nozel date Helia than me.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, the braid. I'm going to be tempted to chop it off whenever Nozel has his guard down. And if I actually went through with it, Nozel would throw me out of the nearest window without even opening it.

[loosesodamarble]

The kind of conversations that happen on Discord are golden.

Thank you @spindaonateaspoon for reblogging the post that inspired it.

And thank you @loafingdragon, @cryo-visionary, and @nothxkas for making it all better.

[loosesodamarble]

To be fair, Mereoleona could break anyone.

Mereoleona 😏

She would break me in half. I know she would💀💀 she would pull a spinda on me and cave my head in bc she got too excited👹💀💀

[loosesodamarble]

If we do that then I’m gonna steal @simpingforthisonedeer from Anshi. Because Morgen~! 🥰

Why don't I recognize any of the urls in my notes. Did you all change your urls for the new year. Who are you people

[loosesodamarble]

Askjhakrjt! Oh the political intrigue! LEUkrjstnm!

Hm, For the made up title game: Fragile Kingdoms 👀?

LYRA!!! What a treat! Thank you for the ask!

A drama mystery among the royals of Spade, Diamond, Heart, and Clover where it is revealed that Yuno is not the only royal with a complicated lineage with regards to growing up in a kingdom to which his parents were not natives. What happens when a little infidelity a generation back means that some of the royals have blood from multiple kingdoms? Half siblings? A responsibility to a kingdom they don't consider their own? Geopolitical and social lines get *very* shaky.

[loosesodamarble]

"Let there be light," I say as the stovetop glows red beneath my frying pan.

Not to get religious on the sabbath but I think cooking is a godly act of creation

[loosesodamarble]

Black Clover anime's biggest crime is not giving us an anime original arc with just Licita and Liebe. Like, the plot should've completely swerved away from the Spade issue to just give us wholesome family content from the past.

Yami and William who? Spade Kingdom where? Nah, let's see Liebe and Licita scavenging for food and enjoying a bedtime story together.

Gosh picking up the Black Clover anime right at the tail end of the filler really drives home how Black Clover is so good. It also drives home how Black Clover is so bad

[loosesodamarble]

I think we should straight up replace the like button with the a dislike button.

In honor of YouTube removing dislikes I think Tumblr should gain that feature

[loosesodamarble]

What kind of flower are we talking about exactly? A corpse flower?/lh

Is it just me or did William’s outfit look infinitely uglier when Patry wore it?
