#with the amount of details those designs have i'll literally cry ]

[badlydrawnarsenelupin]

if lupin had a genshin impact vision, what do you think it'd be?or do you think it would be a delusion? i personally think he'd be like the traveler and get to change elements, but that he'd like anemo (wind and freedom, thieves having the freedom to go where they want)

// Oh man, Lupin in Genshin is for sure something that I've thought about before lol

It would definitely be either Anemo or Hydro! Although, I am personally more leaning towards Hydro, since in the Genshin world, he'll definitely be from Fontaine, the nation of the Hydro Archon. Plus there's the lines from the Oceanid...

"Coveting the shapes of the living, pure water can take on many forms. [...] The power of water is its ability to take any shape…"

which mirrors what Lupin says about himself at the end of the first story!

“Why,” said he, “why should I retain a definite form and feature? Why not avoid the danger of a personality that is ever the same? My actions will serve to identify me.”

It may be possible that he somehow gets his hands on a delusion! Probably stole it from some poor Fatui guys... Hell, make it an Anemo delusion so we can both win and have both Hydro and Anemo on him.

Apart from his vision, if he were to be a playable Genshin character... definitely 5*, probably sustained or quickswap main dps! I would say sword for weapon type, but we already have quite a few hydro/sword characters... Maybe catalyst instead, but like Childe his attack animations are weapons formed from water, because that's cool.

His utility passive would be like... "chance to double the amount of gemstones when you craft them" or "not startle crystalflies and other animals when getting near them".

Some extra thoughts on Genshin Vision lore and Lupin below the cut because I have no self-control:

I originally had the thought that Lupin would be the type to gloat about his vision because receiving one of them is presented as a sign of favour from the gods. Although, thinking on it more and basing it off of some of the canon Genshin character voicelines about visions...

In this AU, I feel that his views on the gods might not be as positive? Assuming that most things plays out similar to canon, having there be gods in the world but yet still seeing and experiencing the abuse his mother receives might sour his opinions.

I'm just imagining little Raoul receiving a vision after stealing the Queen's Necklace and tries to sell it off along with the necklace for his mother lol. Perhaps only later on, he grows to be more accepting of the vision and the power it grants him.

(+ with how visions are connected to ambitions... Imagine Lupin going through 813's whole becoming-mad-with-power and then jumping into the ocean with the extra added tibit of having a Hydro vision.)

Deuce Spade facts and fun facts🥳🥳

This is a list of facts and fun facts about Deuce! This list is based on true facts only and any observations I've made, however observations can be subjective, so those will be labeled properly! Let's start off with some facts already in the wiki :)

First Yr, class 1-A, student no.24

Birthday: June 3

Age: at the beginning of the game, Deuce is 16, but currently, he is 17 [his profile in game has not been updated, but as time is proven to flow in game, it is unclear but can be interpreted that the characters do canonly age]

Gemini

173 cm / 5'8" ft

Homeland: Rose kingdom

Family: Mother, Grandmother, it is implied that his father is out of the picture as Deuce states that he is the only man in the family so his father has either left or is dead

Club: Track and Field [alongside Jack]

Best subject: PE

Dominant hand: Right

Fav food: Egg dishes / omurice

Least fav food: Bell peppers

Dislikes: Limited time sales

Hobby: Magical wheel (twst motorcycle I guess but it looks kinda funky)

Talents: Machinery Maintainance [good with fixing gadgets and etc]

Used to be a delinquent before he heard his mother crying on the phone to his grandmother about his behavior. Afterwards he decided to change

Owns a pink leopard printed suit

Cannot do middle school math, he will take a lot of time to solve simple Algebra problems

Gets nervous and stops functioning entirely when talking to women

Onto some fun facts outside of the wiki! These facts have been gathered from various sources (ppl who can read japanese, ppl who have told me abt info in the twst guidebook, twitter, and ofc the main translated story), but I cannot prove 100% authenticity of this, so take it with a gain of salt

Canonly a pretty boy. Deuce is described as the "cool pretty type" in the twst guidebook

Smells like flowers [applies to all students from Rose kingdom]

A romantic, he admired the king and queen of heart's relationship and trey teased him about it

Thought that baby chicks hatch from store bought eggs until the MC and Grim told him the truth

Can cook eggs (he likes them over easy)

Wanted to make a magical wheel club but was rejected so he joined track and field

Bought magical wheel magazines when he was younger and studied it

Wanted to ride his magical wheel in the heartslabyul maze (mentioned he forgets bad things when he rides it so like...it makes him feel better)

Hates limited times sales/shopping but is extremely good at it. He can remember the price of an item, when exactly it sells out, the percentage/probability of when it can sell out, discount prices and pretty much any math that has to do with it [he's extremely good at shopping because his mother brought him out a lot with her to limited time sales]

In addition to the point above, it is implied he can memorize and calculate that for pretty much every item he intends on buying (everything I listed above is in relation to the time he bought 20 limited time puddings which greatly impressed Sebek who wasn't able to grab even 1, but it was later revealed that he also bought 8 bag full of items requested by Trey for baking, as well as the others probably from heartslabyul) so basically Deuce big brain and very good memorization abilities

Hilariously in the instance above, Sebek, who is like...a real fae, has said that what Deuce did was not something a human can do

Flirted with a plant because vil was fucking around with him and told him to

Was ready to fist fight Riddle

Was about to go find Leona to beat him up but Vil was like do u have no fear and Deuce pretty much said that he can get thru to Leona with his muscles

Was about to fight Malleus (jesus christ) but ended up fixing his tamagotchi and came out completely loaded and rich (good for deuce, get that cha ching babey)

Won a Track and Field competition (noted to be rare for a first year)

He is literally a pretty boy, it's been pointed out that he looks good in the ceremonial clothes (but we already know that)

Admires Riddle and sees him as a role model, has called him boss (like...yakuza boss terminology) once

[Observation] Has a pretty good relationship with Jamil as he has asked Jamil to help him practice his Stargazer dance, and mentioned him once again when talking about how Jamil fixed his hat and said that he was a reliable upperclassman

Has said fuck and would not hesitate to say it again 🥺

Has been called honest and cute, was fawned over by kalim and trey. Kalim said Deuce was similar to his younger brothers

During his delinquent phase, he was blamed for many things he didn't do as well, Deuce said that he realized no one believed in him despite what he says, but because a policeman stood up for him, he wanted to become a cop when he grew up

Used intimidation tactics [the equivalent of "u wanna fucking go let's go I'll beat ur ass" to scare off ppl and silver was like hm I will have to try that sometime, to which deuce was pretty much like ahahah no dont

Deuce refers to Yuu as his "mabu", basically calling Yuu his best friend

He can change a lightbulb, and he talks abt hand washing materials and just domestic house stuff in general as if it's common knowledge. In other words it's implied Deuce is really good at housework due to doing a lot for his mother

When he was a kid, he used to cry because he thought there were monsters outside, but it was just hanging laundry

Is more scared of Riddle than ghosts

It's implied that one time (or several times...) he stayed after school with Crewel, and the poor guy had to attempt to explain the same concept over and over again to Deuce for hours until he understood

Ace always cheats in card games with Deuce, so Deuce claims that it's not very fun playing with him

Bad at astrology bc apparently all stars look the same to him

Likes cafe latte

Does tease ppl, he once messed with Yuu and in the process called Ace "Ace-kun" (Ace called him "Deuce-kun" as well). There has been an instance where he's teased Jack about his Niceness TM

Used to have over 30 gang members following him at age 14-15. (You'd think that him being so young would make him like a lackey but no he was the boss)

Has a thing for summoning cauldrons since he was young, but apparently you need to have a large amount of magic capabilities to summon objects, so [observation] deuce may actually be extremely powerful bc he was able to summon things at a young age, but he hasn't refined his powers yet so he still seems weak compared to a lot of the cast

During his delinquent phase, apparently he had a really wild hairstyle and he used his magic on people weaker than him

[Observation] Deuce is actually pretty good at lying. In his Halloween card he was able to put up a good act and deceive some of his ex gang members into following him into the forest before mildly roughing them up (keep in mind that he has not had contact with these ppl for at least a year, yet somehow he was able to assert enough authority to tell them to follow him. Also, he thought of this plan on the spot, and acted malicious enough so that the gang members would believe in him—which proves that he's not only quick witted but a convincing actor, as Jamil actually believed his act for a while)

It's implied that he and Ace are often in leadership positions, as they helped to lead heartslabyul in designing their Halloween booth, but they also mentioned that it was much easier compared to organizing unbirthday parties

[Observation] despite wanting to be an honor student, Deuce is still able to take unjustly means to achieve his goals (EX. Making a deal with Azul to pass his test), in general, deuce doesn't care too much about the method, be it through cheating or violence to get to his goal, but he does value a fair battle

[Observation] a lot of Deuce's strengths are subtle as we are frequently told abt how much of a bad student he is, but if u rly think abt it, deuce is put in leadership positions a lot, he's good a memorization and small technical details, he can be at times quick witted and deceiving, and he has the potential to be extremely powerful in magic. In conclusion Deuce is a menace and once we find out what his unique magic is I'm 100.01% sure he will become a greater menace and I think he should fight a lot of people and win

That will be all for this post! There may be more fun facts/observations that I may have missed, but feel free to add on to this! Anyways thank u for reading and please stan Deuce Spade♠️💙

Ok but @why-i-love-comics early superhero comics didn't have the level of artistic quality to depict descriptive or compelling sexualizations of their characters-- male or female. Look at Batwoman's earliest appearance in the comics:

Hell, the only outfit here that comes close to being sexualized is Dick Grayson's-- he has the most bared skin and the fucking iconic scaly panties. Batwoman on the other hand has a high collar and an eye-scalding color scheme that looked like it was designed by McDonald's marketing team.

This was one of Supergirl's early appearances:

Kara is a pretty infamously sexualized character nowadays with her Power Girl costume's boob windows and all, but her original appearances were a far cry from sexy. She looks like your friendly blonde schoolgirl-next-door type, complete with the knee-length skirt and all.

Most if not all of early comic superhero women were drawn non-sexualized:

Also as per the lack of dicks you're asking about in comics, what does that have to do with.. with anything, really? I don't think most women sexualize dick bulges to the extent they do with men's abs/ass/rest of their physique.

There are lots of comics objectifying dicks tho, regardless. So there's your dicks lmao.

And yes men usually are drawn with rippling muscles but guess what, that can be fanservice for females as well as a male power fantasy. It can go both ways and is often intended in that manner-- Look at Jason Todd in Rebirth's RHATO in that scene where he's literally stark naked on a tropical island for all except the leaves over his crotch. That is 100% fan service. Adversely, sexy female bodies can be power fantasies for females too. The creator of Bayonetta (an infamously sexualized female video game character) for example admitted that Bayonetta was her power fantasy. People like looking good and appealing, male and females alike.

And also dick bulges are usually way more obscure on a person (in terms of realistic anatomy) whereas tits and ass are obviously not. And yeah men's asses get sexualized regularly in comics-- exhibit A being Nightwing, whose ass has become so famous it's a running gag how good it is in the fandom and comics alike. And given the fact that male superheroes usually wear tight-fitting clothes, their behinds are usually getting an inordinate amount of, uh, detail.

Male superheroes usually get Smexy Treatment(TM) with their depictions-- as it is with female characters, it varies depending on the artist. Clay Mann might sexualize Batgirl more whereas others may not to the same extent or at all. There have been people to depict Cassandra Cain's Batgirl with a more mature take on her body and there have been people to avoid that route entirely. There's been people to draw Red Hood with those thicc thighs and there have been those to not. There have been people to draw Barbara Gordon in a really sexy way and there have been people to portray her in less revealing/tight costumes who chose to highlight more the "girl" in Batgirl and draw her younger with a fitting attire to boot.

You're being super reductionistic when it comes to body portrayals in comics, so I'll just.. finish it with that.
