Why I love Umi and Ascot

I have loved Magic Knight Rayearth ever since I was a kid. I come from a small country where anime and manga was a pretty unknown thing during my childhood, but then they started to air shows like Rayearth and Sailor Moon which were so different from what I had usually watched and I was so hooked. However I never managed to watch every single episode of Rayearth anime, I started from the 2nd season and didn't even see all the episodes from that either, I was very late to the party. Later on I got to buy the original manga instead and got to experience the story via that, and I LOVED it! The characters that really stood out to me were Umi and Ascot, let's start with Umi: In the beginning Umi is a very selfish and bratty girl who comes from a rich family, and she is constantly complaining about how she is missing her personal things. However during their adventure she learns to care about others and becomes more patient. She starts to really value her friendship with other girls. Many people have pointed out that Umi seems to get most development out of the all main characters and I do agree. She feels like a totally different person in the very end of the story. What was the real highlight in her character imo was when she managed to talk sense to Ascot when he attacked them. She had learned so much from their friendship and now she used this knowledge to show Ascot how he should really treat his monster friends. Then about Ascot: He starts out as a literal child who was incredibly misguided, he only wanted a good place for his monster friends but everyone were scared of them. That is until Zagato offered him and his friends a place to stay, and he started to serve Zagato as well. He used his friends as weapons against others, until he met Umi who told him off for not treating his friends right. He understood his mistakes and apologized the Magic Knights. And in the second season we see him definitely being learned a lot from Umi. He tells that he has stood up for his friends so nobody is afraid of them anymore, he has learned his own magic skills from Clef so he wouldn't need to always depend on others and he is also helping to do many chores like picking up fruits with his monsters. During the second season I totally love how much of a deep bond there has been developed between Umi and Ascot. While Ascot's feelings were definitely romantic towards her while she was overall a very oblivious person, they still do so much together. Ascot tells and shows to Umi how much he has learned and how much Umi has affected him, for which Umi happily compliments him. He also insists to help the Magic Knights when they are about to go find the path to the pillar, and later apologizes to Umi how he isn't strong enough, causing Umi to smile at him with a moving expression. After Hikaru removes Cephiro's pillar system and the girls return to the others, they are floating towards the ones who the have the strongest bonds with, of course Umi decending towards Ascot. Then in the epilogue we see them making tea together, while Ascot asks if Umi is dating anyone or if she overall likes someone, abd she is still as oblivious as ever. :) If I would add some smaller details why I love these two, here's some: First of all, Umi is often described to be very beautiful, almost like a model, but personality wise she was very brattish. When she changed Ascot however, she did it while reasoning with her, so I really like how Ascot clearly is not into her because of her looks, it was what she taught to her that made him to love her. I also love Ascot's overall devotion towards her, in both manga and anime we see him going to such lenghts to protect Umi, how he even apologizes to her because he really wants to do more but isn't strong enough. Not to mention Mokona also clearly noticed their bond and thought they should go together in the same ship to find the path to the pillar.

Here I would shortly talk about the MKR anime adaptation. Tbh, I was rather disappoited what they did to their relationship here. I do love that Ascot is still devoted towards her, but their overall bond that I thought was very solid in the manga felt like an afterthought. I wasn't very happy about Umi having feelings for Clef either, mainly because it I never felt that much connection between them, maybe somewhat in the OVA but not in the original series, not to mention I always thought Umi was supposed to be oblivious to love in general. I get that anime doesn't have to be exactly the same as the manga, but again I felt that the bond between Umi and Ascot was very solid and in the anime I was very sad we couldn't see Umi truly reacting to Ascot's growth.

While I doubt MKR would ever get a Brotherhood treatment, I would still like to see one someday, and I would especially love the bond between Umi and Ascot being shown in its whole glory. They don't need to actually become a couple or anything, as it was left very vague in the manga too, but I definitely want them to show their bond done right. I overall loved how only one of the Magic Knights got a love interest (that being Fuu), meaning not all the characters have to be in a romantic relationship, which I find admirable. Hikaru and Umi are just still very young and oblivious people. I am not saying all this just because I ship Asmi, I say this because I felt that the bond they had in the manga was such a strong part of their characters. I only want to see that done in proper way. Thank you for reading!

I watched the “Rayearth” OVA’s tonight...

Oh did I watch the “Rayeath” OVA’s tonight...

So many, many questions. Yes, I know this is an AU, but still I must know. WHY? Why is Hikaru now the captain of the gymnastics team when before she was literally raised in a Kendo dojo? Did this change come into play or make sense? NO. It’s implied that Umi is still captain of her fencing team. And Fuu...now plays piano. That’ll come in handy fighting all those monsters. Hey, wasn’t it neat that all three girls were already trained in martial arts and combat before they were summoned to Cephiro, making it actually believable that they could become warriors? WELL SCREW THAT FUU PLAYS PIANO!!!

Why is Eagle now Emeraud’s brother instead of Ferio? Was it just so Ferio could fight Fuu? And yes, why I did notice that Umi was also pitted against her respective love interest. And wasn’t she just oh so sad when he died...for some reason. It’s not like they had the same relationship from the original where she literally slapped the character development into him. In fact, they had no relationship at all outside of him trying to kill her. But here he goes boom and it’s oh noes poor Ascot! We barely knew ye! No really, we barely knew ye.

Why are the girls naked inside their Mashins? They weren’t naked in the original. They had armor. Oh right, because in the original getting their armor and evolving it was part of their growth as Magic Knights and ain’t nobody got time for that here. NEKKID IT IS!!!

What the hell is even going on plotwise? The original was deceptively simple: A take on fantasy RPGs/rescue the princess stories with a dark twist at the end of season one and season two picking up the pieces. Season one: Three girls are summoned to another world to rescue a princess. They must find weapons and armor while fighting monsters and foes. At the end of their journey they find that both the villain and the princess are not what they seemed and their true mission was a deception from the start.

In the OVAs...I don’t even know where to start. Hikaru makes a wish to stay with Umi and Fuu, who are already her friends in this version, and somehow this triggers them being chosen to save the world because instead of being summoned to Cephiro, Cephiro is crashing into Earth...

Because Emeraude wanted it to I guess? Or maybe it was her brother who isn’t Ferio but Eagle who has her under a spell thinking Zagato is alive. Oh yeah, Zagato is dead. And this whole thing is happening because the Spirits are mad at Cephiro? And Emeraude is also a spirit?

It feels like Clamp wanted to remake “Rayearth” as a gloomy apocalyptic drama in the vein of “X/1999″, and believe me, “X” was already an eighteen volume slog. We don’t need more “X”. Looking at the credits however, it appears the Clamp team didn’t have much to do with the OVA. They had writing credits on the anime. Here, nothing but the obligatory notice that these washed out imitations are based on characters they created. So I can’t blame this on them.

But the biggest sin in this mess is Hikaru. This is Hikaru in the series:

This is Hikaru in the OVA:

“Meh, dreams and legends are stoopid. Broody angst brood.”

And it doesn’t get any better. Hikaru, one of the most lovable Genki girls in anime/manga and one of Clamp’s best characters, has been watered down to a generic, bland dismal shell. The other two aren’t great but there are small traces of them still there. Hikaru is left with no personality whatsoever. Ya done my girl wrong, OVA.

Even if you find the original corny, or aren’t a fan of magical girl shows, it had charm. It had character development for heroes and villains alike. It had a bright color palette and a fun Sisterhood of the Traveling Escudo Armor. Here? You could replace the characters with cardboard and get the same effect.

Stick to the manga. Or the first season of the anime.

Our Next Guest...

A/N: Here’s my contribution to @hoopshoney and @purple-apricots With Love, From Wakanda fic fest! I’m so excited to temporarily break from Fonder’s angsty chains and coming with that present-day Yaa and Wins! I apologize for the tardiness of this fic, as I started my new job this week. I had to dust this off from the depths of my archives due to the time crunch. I was going to do my M’Baku x OC, but my time was limited.

Word Count: 2.4K

Warning(s): Fluff, Black Love

Prompt: “Have I mentioned how much I love you? Only twice in the past hour.”

“Chris, I’m fucking terrified.”,you huffed.

You were in your dressing room getting ready to finally begin your Sheimbloom press junket. The first stop was Jimmy Kimmel Live, one of your favorite talk shows. You’d been delaying the tour for personal reasons. Now, it was here and you were going alone. Winston was in the middle of a project in New York. Plus, it was Valentine’s Day. It sucked knowing that Winston couldn’t make it, however,it was worth knowing that he was being supportive and giving you advice on TV interviews. You’d had many a print interview, but never a TV interview.

“Baby, you’ll do fine. You’re a lawyer: you orate for a living. Plus, you love Jimmy, so this’ll be a breeze.”, Winston reassured via FaceTime.

“Yeah, you’re right...I guess.”

“You’re damn right I’m right. I can’t recall a time I was ever wrong. ”

“Well shit I can.”, you smirked, earning an annoyed huff and eye roll from your fiancé.

“ANYWAYS, are you going to indirectly promote Us?”

“Hasn't it already been promoted enough?”

“Now, what’s that supposed to mean,Yaa Denae?” One of the production assistants walked in at the perfect moment.

“Dr. Abdullah, we’re ready for you.”, the PA said.

“Well, won’t you look at the time! I love you, baby love!”,Yaa said in a hurry.

“I love you, too, Pumpkin. Gimme love.” The two of you did your secret handshake despite the distance and he hung up.

“K.D., you two are just too cute for words.”, your assistant Talia gushed as you handed her your phone.

You walked out of your dressing room along with Talia and your other assistant Jacqui to the backstage area.

When you got backstage, you found a mirror to check yourself out and posed for your OOTD post. Winston picked your outfit: simple black blouse with matching flared pants and a Tuskegee crimson and old gold striped ascot (your choice,of course). He even picked out the leopard pumps. That man had an eye for fashion. Your curly platinum locs were pulled neatly into a ponytail.

“Dr. Abdullah, you’re up in 60 seconds!”, you heard the PA announce. “Thank you!”, you replied. You took this time to recite your affirmation to yourself:

I am enough;I am here for a reason;I am here to slay; I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams!

Finally, you walked into the elevator as you heard the countdown and studio applause before hearing Jimmy’s introduction. “Welcome back! Our next guest is no stranger to shattering glass ceilings. In addition to graduating valedictorian of Yale Law School at the age of 23,yeah, twen-ty three, this past July, she became the youngest and the first Black woman to win the Richard T. Sheimbloom Award for Merit and Excellence in Law--the highest award for any lawyer in the world to receive. Please, help me welcome for the first time, Attorney Khalida Abdullah!”

The audience erupted into cheer, but not before the elevator door slid open to you doing that little Thotiana jig. You waved to the audience and gave them your brightest Miss Tuskegee smile. You strutted your way towards Jimmy and hugged him before sitting down. “Well...”, Jimmy began, “...happy Valentine’s Day and welcome to the show, Attorney Abdullah.” The audience continued their clapping and cheering.

“Thank you so much,Jimmy! Happy V-Day to you! Please call me K.D.. Can I just say that one, this is a dream come true to be on the show and two, I need to carry this audience in my pocket because they really--” they all screamed and you smiled as you glanced towards the audience once more, “--they really helped me overcome my nerves just now and this energy y’all are giving me is every damn thing to me.”

“Well, I’m happy that’s something that helped ease you. So let’s jump right on in: what made you want to become a lawyer?”

“You know, not a lot of people have asked me that question.”

Jimmy’s head bucked back in disbelief, “Really?”

“Yeah, so believe it or not, the OJ trial inspired me to go into law. I was about 5 years old and I see Johnnie Cochran, a Black man, and Marcia Clark, a woman, working the case. I guess I was trying to figure out why weren’t there any Black Women working this case. Even after the case, I didn’t meet a Black female lawyer until I was in college. Sometimes, you gotta be your own role model.” The audience applauded your answer.

“That’s something to really live by. Now fast-forward to this past July: what’s going through your mind before and after hearing your name called for the Sheimbloom?”

“Maaaaan, I was a complete wreck and a tad tipsy from the wine they put on the table. I had my umi and Winston’s hands in vise grips. For clarification, Winston Duke, y’know…”,you looked dead into camera 1, “...THICC DADDY M’Baku? Anyways, everything’s going in slow motion, so my reaction was about 10 seconds slower than what it should’ve been. Now, the Chairman didn’t actually announce my name per se.”

Jimmy and the audience laughed. “So...are you the 2018 Sheimbloom winner or not?”, he joked. “Jimmy, listen! Winston, along with some of his fellow Jabari actors, started barking like they did in the Warrior Falls scene? It wasn’t until Winston let go of my hand and literally took his scarf to bark did I realize I’d won.” The audience cheered as a picture of your raw reaction to winning appeared on the screen behind you. Your red eyes were bugged out, mouth ajar, both hands placed on your chest. That feeling of victory began tingling throughout your body all over again .

“How’s life after winning?”

“To be honest…I don’t really feel that much different. I worked that Monday after the ceremony and up until the middle of August because my partners essentially forced me on leave and sent me to L.A.”

“Why would they do that?” The audience laughed. You did too.

“Honey, I had been working like a madwoman from October up until they put me on leave.”

“Ah-a. So that leads me to the next question: what happened that night?” You smirked.

“Well, after giving my speech, I got whisked upstairs to take pictures with my award.” The screen behind you showed a picture of you holding your award up to your ear like a cell phone with one hand and showing off your rose gold slugs by pulling on your bottom lip with the other. You were squatting down and showing off your red sparkly pump.

“That’s one of the most epic pictures I’ve ever seen. What happened next?” The audience gassed you up with “Ow’s! and whistles..

“Wellllllllllllllll”, your toothy smile should have been the indication that it was about to go down, “I sneak away to the terrace for a breather because God knew I needed it. I’m out there and my Winston texts me asking me where I had gone, right? Long story short, he proposed. Afterwards, socialized for a little bit, and then Wins and I went to our favorite 24-hour diner like nothing even happened that night. So, that’s another reason I was out here in L.A.: he still lives here and we needed time to begin planning the wedding.” The audience went crazy with applause.

“So how’s the planning coming,”

“Uhh...it’s proving to be harder than we initially estimated. We don’t live together—he’s here in LA and I’m in DC. So with that being said, we can’t just meet at a central location at lunch and talk about flowers and what not. He’s big money now with his ever-filling schedule and I’m doing the damn thing too so we can’t just break. We try to reserve a weekend every month to devote our time and energy to planning. The few times we’ve actually come together, progress was def made.”

“One more question before the break: when’s the wedding date?”

You looked at him with your usual “Really, nigga?” face. “C’mon, Jimmy. I can’t just disclose something personal like that. We don’t want our special day to be a media circus. But the only thing I will say is that it’s in 2020.”, you teased.

“We’ll be back after the break.” The audience applauded until the director yelled “Cut!”

—————

“And we’re back! I’m here on this Valentine’s Day with the incomparable Khalida Abdullah, attorney and activist. Now earlier, you mentioned that your fiancé is none other than actor Winston Duke, who’s been on this show before.”, Jimmy explained. The ladies in the audience swooned.

“That’s correct! He’s currently doing press for his upcoming movie Us. Y’all should hit it up next month.”, you responded, trying to conceal the goofy smile forming.

“So one thing I failed to mention before the break was that you two are gracing the cover of Essence Magazine’s Black Love issue.”, Jimmy announced. The audience cheered. He propped the advance copy up that showed you and Winston posed together and serving faces.

“So, if you don’t mind me asking, is it difficult being in a relationship with a man of growing international status?”

“Well, damn. I never even thought about that. Ummmm...no. If anything, our relationship is growing stronger. Life after Black Panther has, in a sense, caused us to strengthen our communication. I believe that our mutual communication is our greatest asset. We literally text each other our daily schedules and we have each other’s events and event reminders in other’s phones. We’re very transparent with one another.”

“So you don’t get jealous with other ladies throwing their panties at Winston?”

You shot Jimmy an unimpressed look. “Why get jealous when he’s in mine all the time?”, you said unphased, shrugging your shoulders, crossing your legs and drinking from your mug. The audience hooted and hollered.

"Welll, here's an Instagram picture of the two of you. Not quite like we just discussed but very cute. Does he get tired of the graduations and celebrations you drag him to? You taking his shine?"

A picture of you two came on the screen. It was the Instagram picture the two of you took at your graduation dinner this past spring. In your beautiful red off-shoulder African dress and doctoral cap and he in his khaki seersucker and unbuttoned white dress shirt, the two of you jokingly did the “prom pose” and he was kissing your neck. Your signature smile and red lip were on full display as you were mid-laugh. The audience awed as they felt the warmth and love you two shared in that moment.

“Nahhh...in his mind, he sees us as equally yoked. Whatever hustle I have, be it a speaking engagement, an award, or anything, he’s cheering me on 125%, and the same goes for me. So with anything in our lives, you’ll see one go all the way for the other. Metaphorically, no one has a bigger head between us.”

“But in the literal sense?”

“Oh, it’s definitely his ass.” Everyone including yourself burst out laughing. “Plus, it doesn’t hurt that we’re good arm candy for each other for events. I mean, look at us!”, you said enthusiastically as you pointed at the picture.

“Well, one more thing before we go: what’s on the agenda for Valentine’s Day?”, Jimmy inquired. You carefully thought about your answer. The thought of being away from your Teddy Bear on Valentine’s Day sucked ass.

“Well, unfortunately, he’s on his way to New York to tend to some business. Buuuut, in a perfect world, I’d be rushing to finish this interview and get ready to go out on a date or stay in, get into our pajamas, and watch Forensic Files all night long.”

“Well, once again, happy Valentine’s Day and congratulations on everything you’ve accomplished. Khalida Abdullah, everybody.”, Jimmy concluded. The audience stood up and cheered as you and Jimmy chatted it up until yhe break.

“Annnnd cut! Great job, Khalida!”, the producer yelled over the PA system.

“Not bad for your first interview.”, Jimmy complimented. You thanked him for the opportunity and were escorted backstage.

Jacqui was the first of your staff to welcome you backstage. “K.D. (you hated formalities with your staff), that was amazing! It’s crazy to think that you were terrified right before this and now look at you: mastered it like it was nothin’!”, she said as she hugged you deeply. You’d thanked her and you started walking back to your dressing room.

“I just wished that Wins could’ve been here, y’know?”, you whispered loud enough so Jacqui could hear. You opened the door and it hit something heavy, the door’s impact sounded as though the victim may have been a person. Your face scrunched in curiosity and your native New Orleans kicked in for this very moment. “Bitch, who the fuck?!”, you yelled. You stepped back to make sure you were going to the right dressing room. Yup, this is my dressing room. You slowly opened opened the door again.

Your confused expression remained on your face as you heard Ed Sheeran’s Perfect playing softly. The lights were dimmed just enough that you could see Winston standing in the middle of the room looking the fuck good as usual. You ran to him, tightly hugging his torso. He took in the sweet scent of your loc oil and perfume and kissed the top of your locs. He could feel your chubby cheeks complimenting your candy apple red smile.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Pumpkin.”, he whispered.

“You raggedy as fuck. Just want you to know that. I love you though. ”, you clapped back.

“I love you, too, but hoooooow?!”, Winston looked down into your teary light brown eyes. “New York, Winston? Really?”, you answered.

“Denver, Khalida? Really?, he shot back.

Silence. “Touché.”

Your staff recorded the entire exchange. Praise the ancestors for them. You looked over to the counter to see a large bouquet of your rose trifecta and Tropical Skittles, your personal favorite candy. Your favorite snack was sporting a burgundy suit with a tan turtleneck.

“Now, I was in a crunch trying to get here, but I figured you’d appreciate the Tropical Skittles over the originals, even though Skittles are your favorite regardless.”, he explained. You shook your head as you heard his explanation.

“God, I love you, Winston.” He kissed your fivehead before giving your lips the same attention.

“I love you even more, Pumpkin.”

“Have I mentioned how much I love you?”, you asked.

“Only twice in the past hour. ”, he teased. “Now come on—it’s half-past 4 and we need to get ready for the night ahead of us.”

“Welp, there goes that Forensic Files binge-a-thon I bragged about.”

Thankies @jaygrl22 Three Ships: My main is Frelma (Fred x Velma), Bruma (Bruce Wayne x Velma, and Harley x Ivy (We stan those ladies in this household!)

First Ever Ship: All the Magic Knight Rayearth 2 ships. Umi Ascot, Fuu and Ferio, and Hikaru with both her guys Lantis and Eagle! Pretty sure that was my first ship.

Last Song: Inside Out, Italobrothers (Which I will write Bruce singing at Velma at some point XD Since he's a dork like that)

Last Film: Like in movie theaters? Uh, probably one of my own. It's been a while but I go to my own movie premiers when I'm invited.

Currently Reading: Dungeons and Dragons Player Handbook 5th edition, and How to Write Mysteries by Shannon Ocork (also one several of my fanfics over and over as I try to write the next chapter) And also a million and one manga.

Next Book: Dunno, maybe the dragon series my nephew recommend

Currently Watching: SCP Explinations on Youtube. Been a nice filler in the background to have while doing things.

Currently Consuming: water... lots of water. I tag @ghostil, @scrappedtogether uh, and anyone else. Not sure all the shippers out there That I don't know their main info to learn more XD

Thanks for allowing me to participate in this tag game, @katekanemybeloved

Rules: Tag 9 people you want to get to know better. No pressure if you’re tagged. If you wish to ignore it, it’s up to you ;-)

Three Ships: DickKory, Clois, and Tim x Bernard

First Ever Ship: Probably RobStar (TT Animated DickKory) or Gohan x Videl since that’s when I truly started being aware of ships in general lol

Last Song: I Feel Fine by The Beatles…of course lmao

Last Film: Disney’s Encanto, and yes ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ is catchy as heck

Currently Reading: New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. It’s just a work that while obviously dated on many fronts, still I can’t help at all but smile with its amazing characters, meaningful plot twists, and of course Perez’s amazing artwork. Also, reading Kurt Busiek’s Superman run and I can tell why this run is looked upon fondly by avid readers of the Superman stable of books

The next book I’m planning to read: Frankly with so many comics I have, I don’t know where to start

Currently watching: Nothing really actually. I primarily watch whatever Iike on YouTube and that’s about it lol

Currently Consuming: Oreos with Milk, can’t beat a classic

Tagging: @mothnem @lightdusk96 @viceturtle @fireflyxrebel-writes @tarisilmarwen @spider-jaysart @sbd-laytall @thattimdrakeguy @wisegirlandseaweedbrainforever

Hi! I was just wondering if your going to don another Hikaru X Lantis week?

We would love to promote another Hikaru x Lantis week. Though I think for the time being fuckyeahrayearth is not officially hosting shipping weeks, so we don’t have to worry about missing any out.

Officially, I’m the one hosting Umi x Clef week via my personal blog, @milieva , and Suz is doing Fuu x Ferio week from her fandom blog, @veteranfangirl, this year, and we are using this blog to promote them and encourage the fun.

Last year, @adiaskyfire was the host of Hikaru x Lantis week. Which took place in early December.

Anyone is welcome to start a shipping week. We will happily promote it and celebrate it. Just try to make sure it isn’t at the same time as another currently promoted week. (I would also suggest avoiding November as probably some of the regular fic writers–me, I mean me… and @dragonofwinternights… and occasionally others–make the terrible decision of participating in NaNoWriMo each year.)

I haven’t seen any posts about a Hikaru x Lantis week from anyone in the Magic Knight Rayearth tag or elsewhere. Please let me know if I’ve missed it. If no one decides to pick up the reins and host one, I’ll probably try to get one off the ground for the same time of year.

(Hell, if no one does an Umi x Ascot week at any point, I might even try to get one going. But I suggest someone like @mokonalord be the host for something like that as it is still mostly a NOTP for me)

As a warning, @dragonofwinternights and I are currently planning a 12 Days of Crack-ships celebration after Christmas. (26 Dec - 6 Jan).
