Okumura Rin ♡ for @alphonseelriic

[nyanko-sensei-tte-yonde]

I was rereading Mr 100% Perfect recently n when I saw this chapter illustration ofc i thought of.....

[discordiansamba]

But what if actual werewolf Rin?

anon you can't ask me things like this because I'll end up rotating them all day. i was a Werewolf Girl in middle school and fundamentally, I am still a Werewolf Girl. the earth goes round and round and some things never change.

love mulling over how werewolves and lycanthropy would work in this particular universe to start out with. werewolves are demons who possess wolves, and lycanthropy is a particular kind of mashou that their bite can cause. hundreds of years ago, it used to twist and transform the body and warp the mind, but these days it can be managed with medicine as long as the patient begins treatment early. lycanthropes are rare, and there aren't many lycanthropes who can actually transform anymore. in fact, there shouldn't even be any werewolves in japan. there's no wolves.

except for the one the Illuminati brought in for their elixir research. that escaped.

the egin family never fell into ruin. yuri was never abandoned in a junkyard. she never had her fateful encounter with satan, and therefore satan never began to grow an ego. but god itself could not stop her from her true destiny: being a Weird Girl(tm), so she still grows up fascinated with demons and ends up becoming an exorcist and working for the true cross order anyways.

(she still meets shiro as a child, briefly running away from home after arguing with her parents. even after she's returned to her parents, she never forgets him.)

rin and yukio are still born. they actually get to be shiro's biological kids this time, because things end up working out between him and yuri in this universe. they get to have some happiness, I think.

(mephisto is just like. hm. well this timeline is already so weird that this might as well happen.)

things fall apart in section 13 on their own, and lucifer still abandons it, and forms the Illuminati. werewolves have high regenerative properties, so naturally, they're an enticing research subject. the escape was not part of the plan, nor was it fleeing into more populated territory. or: mephisto hears that an unfortunate child was bitten in the process of subduing the werewolf, and was therefore infected with lycanthropy.

it's okumura fujimoto rin.

(mephisto doesn't even try not to laugh. it figures that in the one timeline he's actually human, that doesn't end up lasting long. this is amusing! he has no idea how this timeline will turn out, but it's certainly intriguing enough to keep around!)

Shiro is a clone of Azazel, strengthened by elixir research, so Rin was already showing signs of being sturdier than the average human regardless of being. well. human. lycanthropy just kicked it up a significant notch.

local lycanthrope is incredibly bad at actually taking his medication, and that's really the crux of it all. local lycanthrope has ADHD. constantly forgets to take his meds once he's old enough to be expected to keep track of them himself.

rin is way more influenced by his lycanthropy than the average lycanthrope is supposed to be. he takes his medication well enough to avoid most negative effects of lycanthropy, but he's more than capable of transforming into a wolf, if he wants. which he does.

yuri voice: we can't just rely only on the medication anyways. he should make peace with his inner wolf. i'm going to teach him to meditate.

(shiro and shura are skeptical. but yuri's approach works. she's not one of the most talented Tamers of her generation for nothing.)

i feel like shura also lives with the four of them. she's part of the family. the cool big sister who teaches rin how to use a sword. it's a struggle because he keeps breaking every wooden sword she brings him for a hot minute there.

(shiro still teaches him to control his strength by teaching him to cook.)

yukio still begins to train as an exorcist early, but by that I mean, like. thirteen years old early and not single digits early. he's still a prodigy, but he's a lower ranked exorcist than he is in canon by the time he turns thirteen. he works as shiro's teacher's aide in cram school.

shiro still ends up being the paladin. no rest for you.

yuri homeschools rin until middle school. his middle school debut goes about as well as expected. he's only talked into attending high school because exorcism cram school is dangled in front of him.

incredibly funny mental image of rin having yuri's affinity for demons except he has absolutely zero talent as a tamer in spite of this. can't summon shit.

rin knows the name of his condition perfectly fine. but he's also afflicted by 'curse of biting his lip when he tries to say lycanthropy' and misspeaking a disproportionate amount of the time.

godaiin voice: my roommate is a delinquent who secretly brought his cat into the dorms with him. this is fine. i'm fine.

(he quickly learns rin isn't as scary as he seems at first glance.)

rin: (<----trying to keep the whole lycanthrope thing under wraps at cram school. not everyone's wild about that sort of thing. except he sucks at it, because he's never really tried to keep it under wraps. he is truly in refuge in audacity territory because no one expects to meet a lycanthrope in japan.)

(rin locking eyes with izumo's familiars. canine to canine communication.)

I remember watching amvs for weed or wolf's rain and I thought they were so cool! But I was really bad at finding and procuring ways to watch them that it just never happened. I'm sure they would have latched themselves into my brain if I found them

Made me wanna rewatch Wolf's Rain it's been SO long i remember it made me wanna be a wolf shapeshifter so bad + the opening AND ending are bangers

funnily enough as a kid i knew how to find anime hosting sites (with fan subs of course lol) but not enough to get like. basic antivirus protection. you'll never guess what happened to the first family computer thanks to me!

I would absolutely recommend watching Wolf's Rain if you're still interested, it's a lovely original anime with a premise I wish more shows had.

I realized that Madarao’s hair goes through the tassels he wears, and thus he must have the most beautiful Kentucky Waterfall when his hair isn’t up. And I had to finally draw him. Still a WIP.

Me after watching the exorcist again

[corpsentry]

ass in the air on my hands and knees searching for link/allen (romantic platonic idgaf in this economy) fanwork i scoured the ao3 tag dry and 8 years of tumblr posts and now i am Two fists deep in pixiv, dodging projectiles of pathetic ai porn, desperately looking for crumbs. i’ve done it again folks i found a more or less dead fandom and got stuck on the niche pairing of the main character and the guy who debuted with a bowl cut and now there is nothing to be done but CRY LOUDLY and then (some time later) EQUIP PEN

Blue Exorcist played at anime club and brought back why it's a comfort anime to me in regards to being a trans guy and how much I related myself to Rin Okumura.

Like, I grew up in an evangelical area as a Lutheran (where baptism confirmation involved learning the Apostles Creed and reciting it... convinced my mom to let me skip that day out of the Two Year baptism confirmation program). My Church didn't say anything about the LGBTQ+ community, but my area did, and so did the Westboro Baptist Church, which was more active at the time.

I have ADHD, just the inattentive type (Rin would have combined) but the impulsiveness was still there. I also had a lot of anger issues, which I for the most part got a good hold of by now, but still act up at times.

So having a character that struggles with ADHD, anger and who's the son of Satan in a very Christain context (raised in a Church by a priest) and knowing that almost everyone around you wouldn't accept that and would see you as irredeemable if they found out hit really close to home. Struggling with the fact that you see yourself as a monster too. Figuring out how to continue with life filled with guilt around who you are and learning to accept it when you're a teenager while also getting others to accept you. Sometimes being unable to convince yourself that you aren't a monster until something or someone snaps you out of it.

I hold onto the series like, "This is *My* trans masc rep." An immature demon boy with a lot of emotional shit going on. I don't need to headcanon him as trans, he already represents the trans experience to me.

I understand it’s a recognizable cultural touchstone for Americans and an easy plot device but i hate when horror movies (especially sequels) that have nothing to do with faith or religion are like, well catholicism is true. And we need it to defeat the beast
