#this is about maka and soul from soul eater. lmao

[aerithisms]

we need to bring the term brotp back bc sometimes i AM obsessed with the dynamic between two characters with the same enthusiasm as i have for a ship only in a completely platonic way

[zzziptie]

soumaka dump from the past couple days... i love them so bad

genuinely this is in my top 10 ships ever possibly top 5, they're just genuinely soulmates and i would seriously kill for them. soul eater fans wya 😭⁉️?!!?!?

for funsies, some of my favorite soumaka manga pages/panels (so far, i'm still reading) under the cut!!! possible spoilers though pretty much everything is out of context.

this panel^ is so cute i'm genuinely obsessed with it

last panels are so fucking banging. "maka's music will always slice through the darkness around me. i'll become strong, for her sake. so burn, soul of mine." ACTUAL BARS!!!!!! their devotion to each other is my everything

if you made it this far you're a real one. lmk in the reblogs if you did lmao i want to find fellow soumaka fans because none of my friends have any idea about soul eater </3

(i can't stop yapping about it on discord :skull:)

[chipchopclipclop]

i just started rewatching soul eater for the first time since i was 15 and Stein is so much more interesting to me than he was then... what are ur soul eater thoughts chip if youre willing to share

i did not experience soul eater as a wee youth, the first time i watched (and then read it) was 4 years ago (give or take) so i do not have the beautifully tinged nostalgia for the series others might. i say this only bc it colours my thoughts of the series pretty well lmao.

the anime is alot better than the manga just by virture of bones' animation being incredible but also its like 40% less painfully fucking horny (though still is its shounen) and the way some of that plot goes in the second half is so fucking bad in the manga (though not all, but god). It's not like the anime gets rid of everything like that stupid ass argument black star has with maka still makes me want to murder him but ultimately i like the anime and its writing more. i think my minds canon is just a meld of parts i like from both lol.

ohkubo is also just on my top ten list of mangaka i need to actually kill like hes a solid #3 on the needs to die list. his designs and art improvement were fun to watch and i do love halloween world and his toony stuff, undeniably bangs, but you can really tell by the end where his transformation into horny moe artist came from. sometimes i see people shocked by this and soul eater not's existence and i have to think did we read the same fucking manga...??

sorry i needed to get my bitching out before talking about stein. i love stein. so many things wrong with him. he is 70% of the reason i got around to watching it and 95% of the reason i kept reading it. i think how expressive he is is alot of his charm, like he does alot of moe body language you might not expect of his type of chara.

hes #crazy and #madscientist and #edgy and #insaneasylum but also very silly and whimsical... kind of emblematic of the world of soul eater at large actually, this is also alot of the other characters appeal in this universe too (DEATH THE KID).

he's obsessive, hes empathetic, hes also sadistic, hes got a screw in his head, megane, fun with kids, perfect man. hes also got both an equal capacity for getting worse and better in him which can be fun to think about in either direction, and you've got characters that do influence him either way for that in the series. im also kind of remembering clicking the screw in his head is to help somewhat deal with his mental state actually, king of the disability aid...(?)

you can treat his character very seriously or lightheartedly, i think the writing in both versions maintains that balance well. It also makes everyone else who actually sticks around him somewhat deranged too (the fact he did surgery on spirit at school but spirit still interacts like pretty normally at work with him after meeting again. lmfao. THEY WENT DRINKING TOO) the fact he still calls spirit senpai also is so funny. its like 40% a dig at him but also 60% genuine. i hate gay people btw.

i like the thought that he was more stoic when he was younger but as he got older stopped trying to hide his eccentricities as much, and became more expressive lol. younger stein to me is a guy screaming in his head 247 but looking like 😐 while spirit stares at him trying to decipher what his eyelid twitching today means.

[barblaz-arts]

Hey! Since you mentioned "Soul Eater" before, can I ask what you think about it? From the anime, from the manga (if you read it), the powers, the story in general, the ships, the chops, the humor, etc.

The anime was stunning! I love that it managed to translate the gothic but campy vibe the manga had. The soundtrack was insane too. I used to be so obsessed with Paper Moon and the second ED. Even the character OSTs like Kidd's theme and BlackStar's theme were really good, even if the lyrics didn't make a lot of sense.

The character designs and powers/fighting style for each character was soooo cool btw. The aesthetic for this whole show was just so good. Like. If Tim Burton and Doctor Seuss went and collaborated on an anime idk what I'm saying.

And the animation for the fight scenes were just mesmerizing. Bones(the animation studio) are just real damn good at what they do.

Seeing Maka fight with that giant scythe changed my life. At the time shounen rather than shoujo/slice of life anime were my thing. It was my first time seeing a female main protag for a shounen anime, that was probably one of the reasons I was as obsessed with the show as I was. I saw myself in maka for many reasons, i loved her a lot.

I had my gripes with the anime. Like. The ending was a lil weird with how they defeated Asura, but I did love that it had Maka also be a weapon. Also the fact that Crona was alive and well by the end is a nice bonus.

I vividly remember being obsessed with this scene in particular. I had such a huge crush on them lmao

Also not to like out my cringey 12 yo self, but I used to ship Crona/Kidd. Looking back it's so funny.

Soul/Maka is still one of my favorites anime ships ever tho. Ships that start off being besties that gradually turn romantic are just always gonna be my favorite i guess

Also just... Soul's dedication to always keep Maka safe was so dang sweet??? He'd catch a sword on the chest for her. He'd break her fall for her. He'd really do anything for her. Like damn...

As for the manga, yes I did read it! I think it ended when I was in high school? I followed the manga as it updated along with other mangas like Pandora Hearts and Reborn etc. Soul Eater was the only shounen I finished reading (Unless PH counts as shounen. I don't think it does...).

The direction it went with was so painful. Crona leaving Maka and going back to Medusa was my NaruSaku fallout istg. It sucks that things didn't end happily for Crona in the manga, but I still enjoyed the journey it put me through. As dark as it was, the chapter where Crona finally kills Medusa was kinda cathartic.

And although the manga didn't have weapon!Maka, i like the upgrade when she honed the abilities of her grigori soul. Maka riding scythe!Soul like Cardcaptor Sakura with her magic staff was so cool. And the way she had Soul's blade turn into piano keys and turned the black blood into a dress was kinda badass. I wish we get to see these in reboot FMA brotherhood style someday

The humor was great. My brothers and I still quote/reference a lot of the funny stuff from it. I just wish it wasn't one of those animes that can get so pervy to the point it's uncomfortable....

Anyways, loved it a lot. Sorry I probably could have talked about Kidd and BlackStar too and I love them, but this reply would be a lot longer than i have the energy to do lol. They're popular anyways. This show had one of the best female anime characters in Maka and it will probably always have a special place in my heart.

And the chops? Great as always

art development !!

i started doing digital art in 2013 but the template starts at 2015 hehe

[[ template ]]

my essaying about my digital art journey below!!

2015 - i was very immersed in the soul eater community! i kept doing resbangs and making friends, and i love doing AUs, specifically soul & maka centric. this is the HTTYD AU where soul is the dragon!

2016 - yes this is Little Things PH's OCs that i did back in the day! i love their lil guys so much i had to make fanart. this was the art i gave to Ate in person!!

2017 - i drew a lot more pokemon this time ! idk why i didn't draw more of it digitally before. i had too much soul eater brainrot lmao. so i combined them! behold contestshipping x soma AU

2018 - this was the time when i got into K-pop! specifically Monsta X haha, i got more interested in doing fashion, especially for male characters~ (and i had to draw my beloved agenda, somakid)

2019 - my bias from MX, Minhyuk on a whale with Minggom! this was made for an artbook that was sent to him! i hope he got to see this along with my tiny message ;; i delved more into a new tiny chibi art style here

2020 - i drew way too much during this year and it led me to impossibly high standards for my art to this day //sobs. i redrew my Your Lie in April AU fanart and i really think i improved so much….. i went out of my comfort zone to really draw the background and the piano

2021 - genshin brainrot started here !! i was trying to find my style even more, and i love kokomi's color palette. i remember looking at 10x references and combining them into this specific pose in the fanart. i still think to this day this is one of my personal favorite art pieces of all time

2022 - another personal favorite art piece (and something my friend aura and a commissioner personally loved!), i was practicing on drawing men since i wasn't confident, but seeing how this turned out made me want to keep going ❤️

2023 - the latest maka & kid piece that i made! they are so precious to me. i love trying out new poses and dynamics, and i tried changing their outfits a bit more to highlight that i wanna try new fashion stuff ^^; i'd like to say it was a job well done ngl

2024 - and finally, a recent piece that i'm most proud of, and shows a lot of my art style (and i drew the background from scratch!). i redrew an old comic panel from a now discontinued comic, but i feel like i improved so much in terms of rendering, coloring, and anatomy!!

Soul Eater thoughts

Recently finished Soul Eater. I think the best way to describe it is dope. I was really worried when watching the first couple episodes that it was just gonna be like a good show with annoying 2000s anime tropes dragging it down but after the like, first 10 episodes those drop significantly. Honestly watching season one of Certain Magical Index and Scientific Railgun probably made my expectations really low lol.

I think it takes a bit to really get it's footing but once it starts introducing the main kinshin and everything leading to it there's a lot of fun. I also like how varied the main characters end up being, a big point of the show being how their individual strength and weaknesses are balanced out from their friendship. I also like the big point about not abandoning fear but learning to overcome it all. Maka's biggest strength not being her inherited powers but her bravery is a lot of fun. I think that point is a bit dampened from the fact Maka has crazy ass powers that do a ton more than the "normal human" they try to peg her as but it is what it is.

Action is really fun, I love the artstyle, and when it gets away from generic 2000s anime humor I think it can be really funny. Though I think it needs to learn when to like, let a joke go? The biggest offender is that there is 3 Excalibur episodes. Like c'mon he's funny but not funny enough for like an entire hour.

Also my favorite character was Kilik Rung despite probably being there for like, 40 minutes total lmao. Also Chrona is awesome and I really liked watching his growth. Extremely solid show and extremely dope. Kinda sad I missed it when it came out, I woulda probably obsessed over it. But I decided the shonen I watched back then was Fairy Tail and I remember nothing about it lol.

[xhanisai]

Top 5 couples

Oh wow, I have so, SO many OTPs that I would die for it's insane!!! I guess I can put together the top five that have driven me the most crazy~~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 - Lovesquare (Miraculous Ladybug)

Obviously, this is the most predictable one from me hahaahah! These two have gotten me in a chokehold like no other pairings and that's because not only does this show allow us to see so many variations of them interacting with one another but also because of how they overturn many gendered tropes!

We have Adrien/Chat Noir so open about his love and affections for Marinette/Ladybug whilst she struggles to vocalise her feelings for him and often runs away. We have him openly emotional and quick to voice what is in his heart whilst she's often bottling up her own emotions. We have him often sacrificing himself to save her whilst the world can't be saved without her power. We have him haunting the narrative (as Chat Blanc), we have her saving him like a knight as civilians and just more and more and more.

I can write a 100K word essay about why I love these two and it wouldn't even scratch the tip of the iceberg. These two are made for each other.

2 - Shadow x Maria (Sonic The Hedgehog)

Probably one of the first few younger childhood OTPs that still have me going astronomically insane for them. It's no secret that I'm obsessed with tragic pairings and this one ticks all my boxes. As we've seen from the recent animation shorts, Maria and Shadow were each other's whole worlds! She wanted to finally visit Earth with him by his side and he wanted to be able to cure her illness.

And then Shadow had to watch her be brutally killed before his very eyes? So he vowed to destroy humanity in her name? Only to remember the promise she begged for him to honour, choosing to save the world with Sonic instead like Maria wanted? I am not normal about them they deserve the moon, stars and universe! They loved each other!! They loved each other so much and Shadow was willing to kill everyone as vengeance!!! I love them so much~~~

3 - Soul x Maka (Soul Eater)

I like to call them the ladynoir before ladynoir was a thing hahaahh! Maka and Soul's partnership means EVERYTHING to me and the lengths that they would go for each other (especially the lengths Soul would go through) brings me so much joy!

Seeing how their relationship develops from being childish and slightly mean to each other to the unbreakable bond it is now is just so good! They're so unique! Imagine my shock when I first watched the anime and seeing how protective Soul was over Maka. "A boy being so protective over the girl in a shonen animanga? Without any of the weird tropes into play? WOW!!" Thirteen-year-old me was ENLIGHTENED for real.

4 - Gojo x Geto (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Another doomed, tragic relationship. Another bittersweet romance that literally causes major plotlines in the story and I can never have enough. These two are like the sun and the moon and whether you see their bond as romantic or platonic, there is no denying the impact that they have had on each other! I love them, I hate them and I wanted them to have the best life they could have ever possibly had!!!!

Fellas never break up in front of KFC otherwise it'll cause your own downfall in the future LMAO.

5 - Ichigo x Aoyama (Tokyo Mew Mew)

Most likely my first ever OTP even before I even knew what all these terms meant and will continue to stay in my heart forever. I was obsessed with these two and would draw them practically every single day. Imagine how shocked I was to find out how unpopular this ship was online when I finally had internet in the house 😭

Cute, clumsy, optimistic girl x big bad alien in disguise who chose her over destroying humanity??? What's not to love!? THIS BOY LOVED HER SO MUCH HE UNCONSCIOUSLY CREATED A WHOLE ASS NEW ALTER EGO JUST TO PROTECT HER AND CLAIMED THAT HE IS HERS!!!! INSANE THEY MAKE ME INSANE!!!!! I love Ichigo with all three of his personas! UGH!!!!

They could have been a doomed romance BUT LOVE WON AND THEY BOTH LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

I loved how their relationship played out in the manga, the OG anime and the reboot~ I need to draw these two again.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Yona and Hak (Akatsuki no Yona), Sonic and Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog), Yato and Hiyori (Noragami), Bishamon and Kazuma (Noragami), Maomao and Jinshi (The Apothecary Diaries), Tohru and Kyo (Fruits Basket), Chloe and Lila (Miraculous Ladybug), Kana and Akane (Oshii no Ko), Roy and Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist), Akira and Ryo (Devilman), Kaneki and Touka (Tokyo Ghoul), Haruhi and Tamaki (Ouran Highschool Host Club) and probably so many more but I can't remember at the moment lol...

[snorlaxlovesme]

For the ask meme:

41) Who’s your favorite character you’ve written?

66) What’s a fun fact about let me do this for you?

68) Are there any fics that influenced you to write the way you do?

74) Do you have a fic you wish got a bit more love?

(You don't have to answer them all if you don't have the wherewithal I just love asking questions to writers!!)

smooch smooch smoochsmoochsmooch LC you know I love you and you know I love talking about writing

41. Who's your favorite character you've written?

like, OBVIOUSLY Soul or Maka otherwise I wouldn't have dedicated the past like ten years of my life writing for Soul Eater. but a secret third option? Hagakure from My Hero Academia. probably because Horikoshi gave me absolutely NOTHING to work with besides "girl who is constantly invisible and wants to be hero" so I got to come up with everything else for her on my own. and since I can't think of a single 15 year old girl on the planet that would be comfortable with fighting naked while everyone else was clothed, invisible or not, I gave her a complex about it. and it's a pretty rad fic if I do say so myself. [x] i

66. What's a fun fact about let me do this for you? [x]

the long-lost soup recipe was inspired by a couple different things! there's an episode of Spy x Family where Yor is trying to learn to cook for her fake family and a co-worker tries to teach her how to make a stew, I think. at the end of the cooking process her co-worker asks Yor where she's from and deduces that the region where she lives probably adds sour cream into the stew, and when Yor and her brother taste it it brings back memories of their childhood. i had a similar experience 2 years ago when i went to Chicago. we went to a fancy restaurant and by total coincidence the mashed potatoes I got as a side dish tasted EXACTLY like how my grandmother used to make them. when i was a kid we'd always have Christmas and Easter at my grandma's house and her mashed potatoes were different from how my parents made them and they were SO yummy. she passed away in 2015 so being able to eat what felt exactly like her cooking in 2022 felt really special. those kind of things reminded me just how special home-cooking is, and how taste can trigger memories. i thought it would be comforting for Cheng Xiaoshi to have a memory food like that, that he really wished to taste again, and to have Qiao Ling love her brother enough to attempt to make it over and over again so he can experience that kind of warmth again. and honest to god, hand on the Bible, i had not watched s1 in a while and had COMPLETELY forgotten about the noodle lesbians and didn't know that i was subliminally channeling a plot Link Click had already used LMAO

68. Are there any fics that inspired you to write the way you do?

that's hard to pin down since I don't have even really have a definitive writing style, really. if you look at the work I used to put out in the 2010s, it's mostly snappy sitcom-style romantic comedy things (which I would say was largely influenced by the Soul Eater fandom as a whole and Bittersweet Romanticide's [x] many many excellent Pokemon one-shots and longfics. those were my core texts when I started writing fanfiction so my earlier style comes from them I'm sure. nowadays? i think maybe since being in the TRC fandom I've switched up my style to be a bit more prose-heavy. that's more Maggie Stiefvater's influence than anything, since I've taken like four of her writing courses. i've been able to flesh out ideas better and have been more intentional with my pacing since learning from Stief

74. Do you have a fic you wish got a bit more love?

no matter how many times i reblogged it, you'd come over, right? [x] was chronically ignored and that remains one of life's greatest tragedies it's a TRC pynch one-shot that takes place in the middle of the end of the world. apocalypse NOW, RIGHT NOW, truly. but ironically despite the fire and brimstone raining down, it's more of a backdrop to the emotional turmoil Ronan is going through, as he experiences the end of days alone. (angst with a happy ending, though, soooooooo. it deserves to be read. it is very good. )

[sunthieving]

Knowing your partner well can potentially make writing together a lot easier

Name: chris

Pronouns: she / they

Preference of communication: here or discord! if you'd like to chat on discord just shoot me a message and i'll give you my info!

Name of muse: eugene fitzherbert

Experience/how long (months/years?): around 13 - 14 years. i've been in so many fandoms and communities here it's crazy

Best experience: I have 2 experiences that were absolutely wonderful for me. one was when I had maka albarn and patty from soul eater as my muses and I had such a strong connection with the community and still have some of them as friends on facebook and discord. the second was when I had my heather duke muse from heathers! I was so close with that community and I loved every minute as heather duke and try to talk myself out of going back lmao.

RP pet peeves/dealbreakers: only expecting a specific formatting or icon style. personally for me I don't care if my partners format or make/use icons or overly decorate things. I care more about the writing but I have the extra time to work on these extra formatting. competitions!!! I had a maka blog that constantly tried to start drama over who was the 'best', i'm not here for that, i'm here to write and help my own anxiety by being creative. I don't have time for drama.

Muse preference (fluff, angst or smut?): i love fluff and angst. i don't write smut often but am not against it.

Plots or memes: when i'm feeling super creative or im closer with someone and know I can message them whenever then I absolutely love plotting and spending time building a storyline with someone. sometimes when i'm uninspired then I prefer memes but am always open and accepting both!

Long or short replies: i love longer replies! I love giving details and descriptive imagery in writing. I don't mind short replies but hardly ever do one liners unless it's just joking around.

Best time to write: usually night time or on my days off thursday - saturday. sometimes I can reply while i'm in office depending on my downtime

Are you like your muse: haha I love this question. quite honestly no. i'm more of a mix of rapunzel and cassandra. he has way more confidence and is outspoken versus me. I don't think i've ever done a crime lmao. I think the one thing we have in common is our thoughts of ourselves, wanting more for ourselves, and constantly being let down when life continues to choose otherwise. I can't tell you how many times i've cried and sung 'everything I ever thought I knew' haha. only other thing in common is liking pretty girls

-🦕

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :D i really do appreciate these so much!! i’m not very familiar with half of them, but i will do my best!! (i will probably not answer some questions though, just due to not knowing, lol!) (also for the sake of easiness, i’ll put in parenthesis wether i know it or not! :) ) /gen

Death the kid:

I HAD LIKE THE BIGGEST SOUL EATER PHASE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!! :D this is like incredibly exciting, just because i love this piece of media a lot! :)

first impression: OKAY, so i heard a lot about him, due to my friend in middle school liking him a lot, so my first impression was that he was like very silly, but in a good way. like he takes things too seriously, and it usually ends up becoming comic relief material

impression now: HES THE!! HES THE GUY!! i love him, he is in fact silly. i think that despite his nature of taking things very seriously, he does know when to just have fun. i think he puts a lot of pressure on himself due to his father. i really enjoyed his character development, and all of his moments :)

favorite moment: the whole excalibur episode was so funny from what i recall. like i forced my father to watch it with me LMAO. also the scene where he passes out in the blackstar and soul fight, because they accidentally gave him a haircut

idea for a story: hmm idk :0 make him go to therapy for his clear ocd 🦧

unpopular opinion: i’m not sure i have one, so i’ll just state a pretty standard opinion, and it’s that i really wish they kept it closer to the manga. because they really skip a lot of his, and especially blackstar’s character development :(

favorite relationship: very basic, but i love his friendship with patty and liz :) his friendships with blackstar, and maka are also really great :D

favorite headcanon: this is so random, but when i was a child my sister, and i had a joke that he really liked shampoo?? it has stuck with me for years

********

Greed:

i haven’t watched fmab in years, and admittedly watched like the last 20 episodes with the flu, so my memory is indeed rough, but i also REALLY loved this show. i stand by it being really really good!!! :D

first impression: i was really neutral about him! like there were WAYYY worse homunculi in the series lol!

impression now: he puts on such a big act, but like he grows so much, he’s a softie at his core :(

favorite moment: LIKE I THINK ITS HIS FINAL SCENE INSTEAD OF LING?? i loved all of their interactions sm. but like that final moment really stuck in my head visually

idea for a story: JUST LET HIM BE HAPPY

unpopular opinion: i don’t think i have one!

favorite relationship: his and ling’s friendship! :)

favorite headcanon: N/A :(

*******

Gengar:

i haven’t kept up with newer pokémon lore, but i watched a video >:)

first impression: i love gengar as a pokémon!!! also i am bias because the color purple is so beloved

impression now: he deserves all the good things :(

favorite moment: just any when he’s playing a fun little trick :)

idea for a story: N/A

unpopular opinion: N/A

favorite relationship: i guess it would have to be his and ash’s friendship 😭 since i don’t know much else 😭

favorite headcanon: N/A

********

(skipping Cecil, because i looked up stuff from welcome to night vale, and it looks really fun, so i’m going to listen to it while drawing! :) )

Guzma (unfamiliar):

first impression: when i saw him, i thought of the evil dude from world girl, and then i googled the evil dude from world girl, and realized they look nothing alike, they just have white hair and goggles 😭 but he gives off fun side villain vibes, like pathetic but in a fun way (kinda like team rocket), his name also gives me poison type user

impression now: HE IS A GOOFY SIDE VILLAIN, he honestly seems like so much fun

favorite moment: idea for a story: N/A

unpopular opinion: N/A

favorite relationship: him and his team, i love how supportive they seem in the clips i watched :) like i love when characters support their cringe fail (affectionate) boss <3

favorite headcanon: N/A

*********

(skipping apollo also, because i feel like one day playing ace attorney :D)

*********

Duke Venomania (unfamiliar):

OKAY OKAY, so i looked up the music video, and also watched one of those “_____ poorly explained” videos, so i’m sorry if i get things wrong :( but i love vocaloid, and this was so cool to watch!!!

first impression: slut (i never use this word in a derogatory manner, it is primarily a positive character trait) >:)

impression now: *still* a slut, but also i feel really bad for him. his actions were horrible, but like his family really set him up for that. his brother turning mean for no reason was so uncool :(

favorite moment: N/A

idea for a story: N/A

unpopular opinion: N/A

favorite relationship: idk :( because they all fell through terribly in the end :(

favorite headcanon: N/A

********

Cardan:

I LOVE THE FOLK OF THE AIR SERIES, LIKE ITS SO MUCH FUN AHHH!! i remember being really skeptical about it, but then i binge read the whole series in like three days, lol!!! i was just talking about it with a friend last night! :)

first impression: HES MEAN, this is unsurprising seeing the title of said book. BUT, his opening segment is so mean, like he just ripped off someone’s wings?? like he’s never that mean for the rest of the series, it’s so uncalled for LMAOO 😭

impression now: I LOVE HIM, he’s a cat that fell into a pool, he’s pathetic, he’s so unserious, i would say he tries his best, but he really doesn’t. and i love that for him

favorite moment: when he exiled jude, and then when she came back, he was like, “my wife is come!!! :)))” because in his eyes it was just a prank 😭😭

idea for a story: i want him in the human world, and i want it to be funny

unpopular opinion: i don’t mind the tail LMAO

favorite relationship: romantically, definitely Jude (the beloved <3) obviously, lol! friendship wise also probably jude 😭 though i find his relationship with Nicasia really interesting :)

favorite headcanon: he can’t cook, but he would try to, just because jude banned him from the castle kitchen (he almost burns down the castle)

********

(i’m also skipping the K project one, because i remember seeing that anime everywhere when i was younger, and really wanting to watch it, but i never did, and now you’ve reminded me of it, and now i’m going to actually watch it this time, lol! /gen)

*********

Bill Cypher:

I LOVE/LOVED GRAVITY FALLS SM, i don’t remember much of the lore, but gosh this show took up so much of my brain for so long!!!!

impression now: he’s a staple in tumblr history, he’s silly and goofy, and still looks like a dorito

favorite moment: i don’t remember :(

idea for a story: N/A

unpopular opinion: i never found him hot, though idk how unpopular that is anymore LMAO

favorite relationship: N/A

favorite headcanon: N/A

*******

L:

THE BELOVED!!! i watched the first half of death note in middle school, but my father spoiled what happened to L, and i literally quit, and i think that’s so valid. but last year my friend got really into it, and she very much dragged me down with them. i rewatched it and GOSHHH, it’s such a good show, i plan on buying the all in one manga one day :)

first impression: there was something about him, that when my 11yo self saw this man, i was like “he is my favorite.” and he was

impression now: i rewatched it, I STICK BY THAT STATEMENT, there are of course other characters that i love dearly now (Misa, Rem, Mello), but L is *the* death note guy, i love him so much still :)

favorite moment: when he hands that guy the strawberry LOL

idea for a story: my friend and i created a whole twitter au, and i’m so attached to it, it’s literally so funny, we’re comedic geniuses /lh

unpopular opinion: i’m not a lawlight shipper :( (though i totally see where people are coming from!!)

favorite relationship: my friend and i made a misa/matsuda/L friend group trio, and they are canon to me. they might not be besties in canon, but to me and my friend they are a dynamic trio, and that’s how it is <3

[its-no-biggie]

inspired by the notes on this post (definitely scroll through them bc theres some really good stuff in there) heres some more thoughts

first things first, im not exactly sure how this works in canon but heres my interpretation of weapon/weapon duos. we know that its not impossible - we see liz and patty working together on multiple occasions, and theres a certain duo that we find out later the meister was actually a weapon without knowing it. my guess is we dont see weapon/weapon duos often because weapons arent super common, so it makes sense to pair them up with humans to make the best use of their weapon abilities. but there doesnt seem to be anything preventing two weapons from working together the way weapons and meisters usually do? swapping between which one is the weapon would probably be difficult, so they would either stick to one person as primarily the weapon, or train a lot to get used to doing both. but soul resonance and stuff doesnt seem to be a problem. anyway lets get into it

LOLIX. thank you *tumblr user joltning (whoops misremembered who said this lol) i always forget about these two, but my god. lolix in soul eater..... okay heres my thought. felix and locus are both weapons and siris was originally their meister, although when missions went awry lolix worked as a duo (like that one time kid abandons liz and patty in the middle of a mission to make sure his toilet paper is symmetrical or whatever lmao). then siris dies and the 2 of them are already used to working together, so they make for an unconventional duo but their years of history make them deadly. augh and then when they start drifting apart and it physically gets harder to work together, and theyre both blaming it on each other but really they just arent on the same wavelength anymore. ough. just like what happened to maka and soul except they dont fix it. and then locus kills felix. soooo good. in terms of what weapons they would be - i know felix favours knives and locus is more of a sniper rifle guy. so locus is a knife and felix is a sniper rifle?

[i know my weapon choices have been pretty uncreative - soul eater has magical weapons so i dont have to limit myself to whats in halo. im just not very good at inventing new weapons lmao - if i were to actually draw this i would want at least some of these guys to be more fantastical weapons, but for now im staying in the realm of rvb weapons lol]

someone mentioned church and tucker both being weapons..... i think i like that! tex and church used to be paired up, then in blood gulch flowers was versatile enough to work with either of them. then caboose shows up and pairs with sheila (huge powerful weapon thats difficult to use), then flowers dies, so chucker are just kinda like well. lets try it. and they work well as a duo! then we could have both tucker as the sniper rifle (hilarious) and church as the sword (insert joke about crossing swords but more uncomfortable this time). i dont think these two are good enough to swap back and forth the way lolix would though so church is primarily the weapon in this arrangement (he wanted to be the meister but he cant aim for shit lmfao).

im still not really sure what i wanna do with tucker and wash though...... i really like the idea of meister!tucker, with wash being a similar weapon to church, so that he seamlessly fills the gap where church used to be (for angst purposes). but i also like freelancers as meisters..... maybe wash is also both? someone also mentioned pfl like experimenting with swapping around meisters and weapons so it could be like. a special weapons-only program where they focus on making weapon/weapon duos as strong as possible? with a focus on versatility rather than a strong partnership.

if you wanna get a little more unethical with pfl - perhaps theyre experimenting on people to turn them into weapons? so originally the ai fragments were regular people but they undergo a dangerous and experimental procedure and come out the other side a weapon. and pfl is doing this so they can control what kind of weapon the person shifts into - so they start with compatible duos, see where their partners strengths lie, and turn them into the optimal weapon. but maybe its kinda like the black blood where it like. leaves some kind of evil magic in their body that can then affect their partner when they resonate? so the duos are really strong but very unstable, and thats how we get the meta and the epsilon incident. and THEN if wash was already a weapon, but he was the meister for epsilon when the incident happened, he would refuse to be a meister again and only work as a weapon. so then he pairs with meister!tucker, which works great for tucker because hes used to working with weapon!church so its basically like church is still around. and then they both realize this arrangement is preventing them from confronting their own issues, so they grow and heal together and thats represented by them swapping roles. hmmm this doesn't really account for epsilon very well but whatever. maybe ill revisit it another time

last thing. grif as the grifshot. i cannot BELIEVE i missed this. its a little unfortunate bc grif is the one who uses the grifshot in canon, not simmons, but lets be real simmons with the grifshot would kick ass. 10/10 easily my favourite duo in this whole au

fuck it. rvb soul eater au

context on soul eater for those who havent seen it: some people can turn into a weapon. they get paired off with meisters (ppl who wield the weapons) based on soul compatibility. if two people are incompatible or out of sync, theyre unable to fight together - their bodies will physically reject it and they can even get injured by trying. so weapon/meister duos are always very deep and trusting (and often ambiguously romantic) relationships. and then they fight monsters or whatever the rest isnt important

im starting with blood gulch, as usual. although..... freelancer has interesting implications...... okay but reds and blues first

grif and simmons - grif is the weapon (maybe a rocket launcher?) because you know his ass is not running around fighting. this works great with simmons' need for control. 10/10 no notes

church and tucker - i think church would naturally be the weapon here but im thinking about how this applies to tucker and wash down the line..... i kinda had it in my head that the freelancers would be meisters and the ais their weapons, which would make weapon!tucker pair well with meister!wash after church dies, but if i disregard that. weapon!wash could be really really interesting.... i dont really have a plot in mind so i also dont know how epsilon fits into this but hes also here. idk ill think about it. anyway obvious weapon choices for this duo would be a sword or a sniper rifle. (i do think its really funny to make tucker the sniper rifle that church cant aim for shit. oh you wanted the sniper rifle so bad? now you are one and your meister gets no kills with it <3)

sarge and lopez - this one has hilarious implications. is lopez still a robot? is he just a regular ass shotgun that sarge built and insists on using instead of pairing with a person? is he a robot that can turn into a weapon? does he still speak spanish? if he is a robot, does he have a soul???? do he and sarge resonate the way weapon/meister duos usually do???? honestly this is hilarious no matter what, but im leaning toward hes a humanoid robot that can turn into a shotgun. sarge built him and lopez hates him for it but he was programmed to be compatible so they resonate just fine. dont think about the implications of a robot having a soul okay shhhhh its fine

if robots are on the table then you know we gotta do caboose and sheila - is sheila also a robot? i think it works either way. shes definitely the weapon though - something with a lot of firepower. truly i think shes the only one who can balance out caboose in a combat setting and even then they still get church killed. incredible

donut and doc - this one is interesting with doc being canonically a pacifist. maybe hes still primarily a medic but he keeps a weapon on him just in case? and then omalley makes good use of it >:D donuts really just along for the ride. i dont have specific weapon ideas - i know doc tends to favour the rocket launcher and donut is good with grenades, but also. insert joke about crossing swords. anyway no matter what weapon he is, donuts weapon form is pink

(also i want you guys to know that i almost did pastrytrain as a duo and left doc out for the crimes of being a pacifist. i still think it could work, but donut and caboose dont really interact that much compared to caboose and sheila, and also i wanted to keep the teams separate. you understand)

tex and kai - honestly this is a GREAT duo imo. i know the only time they interact in canon is some catty bullshit but its not their fault they were written by misogynists, and honestly they have some really good black star/tsubaki duality going for them. i think tex would be the meister, and kai would be maybe a melee weapon? oooh could do both of the grif siblings as knives..... knife simmons...... anyway tex and kai really good duo. easily the best out of all the blood gulch crew

and then the freelancers would be...... actually remarkably similar to how the freelancer/ai relationships work in canon! although if you swap around whos weapon and meister (as opposed to the ais all being weapons) you could certainly shake things up. also kind of interesting bc theres a lot of partner swapping in freelancer, which doesnt seem to happen much in soul eater. a testament to the poor conditions at pfl perhaps......

anyway i dont really have ideas for a full-fledged au, but its certainly fun to play with - the soul eater designs are already fun and then bringing in the rvb colour coding...... giving them fun dramatic weapon designs...... plus the whole soul resonance thing adds a layer to the relationships that i think would make for some delicious character interactions. force these mfs to communicate with each other lmfao

Happy gay month! Drop all of your lgbtq soul eater headcanons

[answering this ooc so we can get into details >:) sorry (or not?) for how dang long this got. please enjoy...

maka!!

-girl! trans! demigirl in a "all girl but Girl is so much bigger than cis people think it is" kind of a way.

-bi! uses it interchangeably w/ pan but tends towards bi as a descriptor. being a girl is a big part of her attraction. iykyk

-recognizes when she likes someone very quickly which makes her an absolute outlier in this group. love that for her. everyone clap

-now being vulnerable by admitting to those feelings to others...a little more complex! i am rooting for her

soul

-boy! also trans! my guy my dude my man. this guy can fit so much t swag in him.

-bi! loves women as a man but queerly and bonds with kilik about this. important note.

-even worse than maka at feelings which is saying something

-doesn’t bind generally. too uncomfortable and his back is already messed up due to the *gestures at so many things about this guy* so yeah. his presentation is v influenced by his sensory needs.

-his name stuff is very important to him as evidenced by him canonically owning multiple clothing items with his name on it. every time i have to type out soul eater evans i am physically pained by this but there’s no good solution. soul eater my friend soul eater

kid

-nonbinary. trans. gender is symmetry. you know!!

-made a comic about this a bit ago

-”’boy”’’ terms are fine w/ him. gets a little >_> (positive) when people mix in they/thems for him with his he/hims. beloved he/they boything

-very new to thinking about all this but he has already figured a lot out gender with support from his friends!!! proud of him

-attraction/sexuality...less so! knows he’s not straight but is not really able to think about himself in the context of attraction at the moment. he will get there when he gets there...

liz!

-girl! she is the only cis person in the crew, lol.

-she is lovingly referred to as "our liz cizbian, our ciz lizbian" etc by many of them

-lesbian as aforementioned. an absolute wreck. tries her best to play it off but so very nervous about acting on stuff.

-advice giver despite this lmao. good at picking up on other people's stuff if it doesn't involve her

pattyyy

-girl :3 transgender :3 she is having a great time. gender stuff was unfortunately part of her and liz’ reasons for leaving home

-thinks its hilarious to vary the sizes of her breast forms and she’s right. she’s very powerful and does whatever she wants. trans joy is real and patty is proof

-assigning words to her attraction/sexuality simply not on her radar at this point in her life.

-she’s also like . why is everyone so pent up about this just kiss the people you want... i will do it since you are so fucking complicated

black*star

-trans boyyy... gender is being THE BIGGEST and being THE GREAT BLACK*STAR

-he knew EXTREMELY early. like basically never got why people were calling him a girl early

-sid and everyone else around him were super supportive! he basically never had to transition socially, it was p immediate

-gay!! attraction and “fun” dating easy and great, Big Feelings/Romance are...much more difficult! he is simply bouncing around like an electron can’t catch me vulnerable thoughts and feelings!

tsubaki!

-trans girl! was also very supported by her family and has had a relativeley smooth time of gender. want an easy one for her lol

-pan! also uses bi but prefers pan. truly like “the future is open who knows :)”

-sees herself like...idk how to phrase this but her self view is very utilitarian mostly? like her function and her abilities rather than Her as a person if that makes sense.

-so it’s a nice like...genuine expression of self care for her to have been able to express these aspects of herself. tsubaki..

crona my beloved

-nonbinary of all time. they/them so much. just so not in the binary. we love to see it. did not have the language for it (or most things) growing up but always knew on some level they weren’t a boy or a girl.

-re crona gender medusa was along the lines of ‘as long as you serve your function, whatever’ which is shitty in its own special way but at least. you know.

-as far as attraction/sexuality...oh crona. does not know what a crush is. woefully out of their depth in terms of being able to conceptualize themself as someone capable of being loved or loving others at this point in their life. and yet! both of these are possible. and in fact. happening right now... bless them. it’s hard. they will get there..

THANK YOU AND CONGRATS IF YOU READ THIS FAR LMAO

happy pride everyone!!!!!]

Rambling about Fairies - Manga Chapter 160.5

I didn’t realize Day of the Fateful Encounter was canon, too! What a surprise.

Anyways. 

Reading this again, I find it kind of sweet how quickly they clicked. This is a standard romance manga trope, that these two clicked and they immediately got along well due to their similarly friendly personalities, and their shared interest in books and writing. It reminds me of Zeref and Mavis. 

But to continue the point-- this trope usually ends with the conclusion that despite their similarities, the girl chooses the guy who’s personality is her opposite (Natsu in this case), because their differences combine together much better. 

An example of that is in Soul Eater, where Maka literally makes the point in the final battle that her identical wavelength to her father can never surpass the chaotic, harmonious tune she composes with Soul. 

This isn’t a groundbreaking way of advancing Nalu or anything, but I think it’s sweet that Mashima gave this to the fans. I wish we had more of it so their relationship can actually move forward instead of being stuck in that obnoxious not-not-not-semi canon thing they have going on now.

Like, I’m aromantic, but I still prefer ‘romantic ship teasing’ like this chapter, rather than the annoying “haha, look, another Nalu counterpart that’s officially canon while our main couple remains vague in canon!” thing that Mashima keeps thinking is funny. 

(Seriously, Fairy Nail is cursed. City Hero does not exist ❤ Edo Nalu is alright, but oh, Edo Gruvia doesn't make sense to me. Edo Jerza is even worse. I'd rather Mashima focus on the actual personalities and dynamics between those counterparts rather than throwing a bone and a lovechild at the shippers. I like Edo Nalu, it was foreshadowed in Edolas arc that Edolucy liked the upfront and bold Natsu, so it made sense that they became a couple with a car sex joke lmao, but they are them. Earth is earth. And yet, people celebrate all of these counterparts as a Nalu win especially with the reveal of Nasha, so Mashima keeps doing it because it drives the popularity. I really think it's just an excuse to distract everyone from the fact that Natsu and Lucy have not had a single explicitly romantic advancement like this chapter in ages. At least, not one that isn’t literally rehashed over and over like the backhug, or the 'holds hands and run away from the guards, let's go!' moments.)

But all that aside, this chapter was genuinely, incredibly sweet. 

The manga makes it short and simple, too, it’s not weaved between the another messy Jason episode full of cringey skits and Shubidubap, so this is an entirely Lucy-centric episode.

Thanks for the tag @silluuuu!! I’m supposed to be working on a Thanksgiving oneshot rn but got distracted with a fantasy AU that’s been giving me brainrot so I’ll throw it out here lmao

——————————————————————-

“Oh sir Eater, I can not thank you enough for saving a damsel like myself from an imminent doom with your chivalry,” Maka mocked as she laced both her hands within his own, causing Soul’s heart to beat at an erratic rhythm due to the contact.

He let out a snort to calm his nerves, only to find himself becoming even more enthralled by how the low moonlight reflected off Maka’s earrings and caused her smile to illuminate his entire vision.

“Oh, they’re about to start the dance,” the princess then stated as the sound of soft humming and music began to make it’s way to the balcony.

“Not a chance-,” Soul grumbled once Maka flashed another smile in his direction.

“Fine,” she immediately cut him off before leading them both towards the center of the balcony.

“We will just have to dance here then,” Maka finished, prompting Soul to hum in surprise as she led one of his hands towards the dip of her waist while the other stayed tangled within her fingers.
