I'm so happy to see people talking and drawing ca! Your art is so cute! I love the kawoAsuRei friendship in this series so much: the way kaworu shielded rei and encouraged her to express herself more, asuka standed up for rei, and asuka declared companionship to kaworu while kaworu worried about her safety. It's especially refreshing to see kaworu bonding with people other than shinji

WAAAAHH that makes me so happy, thank you so much!!! I'm glad to know there's more Campus Apocalypse fans around ;__;💖💖

And YEEEESS YOU GET IT!!! As much as I love Kaworu and Shinji's relationship, it made me a little sad that Kaworu hardly got to interact with characters other than him in the main canon, so I LOVEEE that CA introduces him at the beginning and as one of the main characters with the other kids. Him getting to interact and form relationships with Rei and Asuka too is so exciting and so much fun!!!

Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse - Ch. 7

His and Rei's relationship is so sweet, they give off the impression that they're very close - they feel like siblings almost? He's pretty affectionate with her and she's the only one who knows Kaworu's an angel until he tells Shinji... Plus her asking Kaworu for help when she wanted to learn how to cook despite him implying to be just as clueless about it was really cute 😭😭

Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse - Ch. 14

Asuka and Kaworu have such an interesting dynamic too!!! They're friends but she puts some distance between herself and the "weirdo brigade" as she puts it to try and retain a sense of normalcy, and she calls Kaworu a freak likely as a lighthearted jab while none the wiser that he's an angel, but that coupled with the fact that angels killed her parents in this universe adds some tension to it...

Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse - Ch. 21 // Ch. 22

And that makes it really sweet once she Does learn about it and puts the fact that he's her friend above everything else 🥺🥺 WAAAHHH

Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse - Ch. 21

AND ASUKA AND REI TOO i love this moment sooo much it's so sweet..... also Asuka using her lap as a pillow for Rei until she goes after Kaworu was super cute 😭😭💖💖 THEY'RE SO DEAR TO MEEE

Based on Lapidist's work on ao3.

^^please give it a read because it's really good but i had to cut out a lot of bits to fit it into 10 pages :0

“I. Am going. To kill that rat.” “What was that, Boss?” “I said, BACK TO YOUR POSTS NOW!” “Y-Y-Yes, sir, right away, sir!”

(ID: Kirby series fanart comic, Kintsugi AU, four borderless panels featuring Dark Meta Knight, Mirror Axe Knight, and Mirror Mace Knight, in which the latter two comment on their leader’s interesting new battle scars, much to his restrained dismay. Transcript below the cut. END ID.)

Good thing his minions aren’t the brightest bulbs in the bunch - otherwise they’d’ve found out about all the friendly hugs he’s been getting in his off-time.

(… this isn’t too much, is it? Stars, I hope not. I tried to keep it vague enough that it doesn’t have to mean anything spicy. Maybe it was just a very competitive game of tag. Or maybe DMK couldn’t quite reach an itch between his wings and Daroach got a bit overenthusiastic trying to help. Basically anything that could ruin his “big scary cool toughguy” reputation. As long as DMK is too embarrassed to admit to it in front of his crew, they’re all viable options, haha.)

Transcript:

Panel 1

*DMK walking forward towards our left, M!Axe and M!Mace passing by in the opposite direction, M!Axe waves cheerily to DMK, who glances at them over his shoulder*

M!Axe: Oh, Boss, there you are! Hey, how was the fight? Didja win?

DMK: Hm? What’re you talking about?

Panel 2

*reverse shot of DMK, still glancing over his shoulder, several pink scratch lines can be seen on his back and the base of his wings, each in sets of three*

M!Mace: Got some new scratches on your back, Boss. Nasty ones, too, by the look of it.

M!Axe: (laughing, impressed) Ha! Musta been one heck of a scrap to leave marks like that! I’d hate to see what happened to the other guy, haha!

Panel 3

*front shot of DMK, his eyes shrunk to dots in realization, as a thought bubble hovers over his head - a simple headshot of Daroach, grinning roguishly beneath the shadow of his hat, showing off his claws as they glint sharply*

Panel 4

*front shot of DMK, sweating and glaring fixedly off to the side, eyes still shrunk, a vivid blush inside his visor, while M!Axe and M!Mace stand where they were before behind him, heads tilted in innocent confusion*

DMK: (strained) … … … Yes. … … A fight. … That’s what happened.

I THOUGHT THIS PART FROM VNC CHAPTER 62 LOOKED FAMILIAR

i mean they're not. the exact same but they are very similar to each other!!

Also this could just be me but I feel like that these two have a lot of parallels. Break's family are the Rainsworths, who are not his biological family. Johann's family is Dante and Riche, who also not his biological family.

When someone they care about dies/gets threaten their first instinct is murder. When the Sinclairs died Break killed 116 people to bring them back, and when he thought Reim had been permanently dead he killed Fang. When Vanitas had threaten to kill Dante, Johann told him that he'll kill him if he meddles with his family.

Another thing they have in common is that there both, how do I put this, angry in some way/some point in their life? Break had been bitter and depress after returning from the Abyss but then learned to smile again because of Shelly. Johann... Okay, I can't say much about Johann because not much has been revealed about him yet BUT he definitely is sketchy!! With how the Dhampirs are treated it wouldn't be far off to say he would be angry at the world/society. He also has been shown to not like Noé much. Johann has also been shown to be very protective of Dante and Riche, so it's possible that he could've been similar to how Break had acted in the past, and now has something to live for and would do ANYTHING to protect it.

Another thing I'm just now realizing and probably should've brought up first but they have similar vibes/atmospheres. Though Johann is more flirtatious and Break is more... Weird. I guess. Eccentric, if you want a fancy word. They're also have this whole... How do I explain it? They're good at observing/analyzing things is I guess the best way to explain it?

I think I'm gonna stop there, there was something else I kind of wanted to talk about but I think it was a little bit of a stench fkdjgfjdf. I could be wrong about some of these, I didn't mean to write this much so basically all of it I wrote on a whim. Whatever my brain thought of I wrote down which resulted in this (which reading over it might be noticeable considering this post is kinda a mess kgjkfjgjfj). There's also the fact that some of the Johann stuff was just speculation, which could 100% be wrong. But I do think some of it I'm right about!!

Oh my goodness! I wonder what questions we have to ask to see what happened?

//Well if there's something you wanna know about, you gotta ask about it! Whether or not the character answers, or answers in the RIGHT way...well, maybe there's a way to get one character to "loosen their lips", and maybe there's another character who's already willing to answer. Or, perhaps, the other can tell you how to get the first to talk. Who knows?

[piningprecussionist]

I suppose you could say that.

Also apologies I don't usually introduce my name and first, either way I'm 💠

I can do an in person introduction if that's more proper.

Besides that your technically correct I don't have any ill intent right now, and I don't need anything from you either. Though I will gladly ask if I need anything. Thank you.

*Kim feels an uncomfortable, cold chill go down her spine.*

(I... am not sure I'm enjoying this energy, here...)

*She looks back over her shoulder, but she's uncertain if she should bring Blaze's attention to this- they had other matters to attend to, after all. She turns back to the monitor, hands hovering over the keys.*

(I feel like I should tell someone about this... but I'm not sure who, yet. Or if that would be an overreaction...)

*Uneasy, she shakes her head and sets about typing her reply.*

Your welcome. I'll keep an eye out for your asks then, 💠. I think talking like this suits me just fine, personally. At least for now.

When Roger died, Rayleigh lost half of his soul. Their relationship was beyond best friends, partners, lovers, or however people chose to view them. For as pragmatic as Rayleigh has always been, he had genuinely come to believe that Roger was his soulmate.

The first few hours after Roger’s execution were filled with sobbing and laughing that escalated to a near hysteria. An excessive amount of alcohol finally put him under, granting him the blissfulness of unconsciousness.

When he awoke, Rayleigh dragged himself over to where he had hidden the Oro Jackson away. She had been left with him and with Rayleigh unsure of what to do with her, she had ended up sitting alone and abandoned for months. Her captain was gone and he knew that it pained her, could almost feel her grief when he whispered the words into her planks. Rayleigh sat with her for the whole day, meditating on his decision before finally resigning himself to do what he felt was best for her.

He knew that she would be targeted for the rest of her life. No matter where she sailed, whether it be the government, pirates, or even civilians, the Oro would never know peace again. Rayleigh couldn’t sell her, nor did he ever want to see her stolen or ripped apart by poachers, and most of all he knew that no one should have the right to captain the ship other than Roger.

He raised her anchor, steering her out of a hidden grove and onto the open sea. He sat with her a bit longer, thanking her for all the years they had spent together and for all the memories that had seeped into the fibers of her wood. She had housed a family. She had carried them across the world. Now it was time for her to rest, and Rayleigh wanted her to go in the most peaceful, respected, and dignified way possible.

When she was surrounded by nothing but water, Rayleigh set her sails and deck aflame, bidding her one final farewell before stepping off of her deck for the last time. He got onto one of her rowboats and watched in silence as she slowly burned and sunk into the sea.

The next few weeks and then months did not get any easier. Roger’s name was on every tongue, his face on ever poster and newspaper. Rayleigh laughed, unsure of if Roger’s continued presence comforted him or only opened his wounds further as Roger’s parting words haunted him-- “I ain’t gon’ die, partner.”

Beyond the loss of Roger, Rayleigh felt as if his life no longer held any purpose. There was nothing left for him to see and now on top of it all he bared the burden of truth and knowledge, forced to live in a world that was ignorant to it. Rayleigh had been aimless before he met Roger and it was Roger that had given his life purpose, joy, and meaning. Now Rayleigh was left with nothing. His family was gone, his home was gone, and all he had left were his thoughts. He lived in his head. He began to live in the past, rather than see any hope for his future.

As the months passed, a deep depression began to settle into his bones. Though Shakky had returned to his life and provided some comfort, her presence alone wasn’t enough to heal him nor did he expect or want to place that burden on her. He was difficult. He drank far too much and didn’t take care of himself and was excessively negative. Rayleigh is still convinced to this day that if Shakky hadn’t had lovesickness, she would have taken no interest in him at that time.

Though Rayleigh had often pondered dying, his decision to follow through on it had come very sudden to him one morning. He had woken up one day and just felt an intense clarity on the matter. That was the day he sailed out into the deep sea on a small boat, prepared to let the waves or a sea king take him. It was in the midst of a raging storm that Rayleigh smiled, closing his eyes as his boat was crushed under the weight of a wave. He had been pulled under and as he sank, Rayleigh accepted that it was the end. As his vision blackened, that was when arms wrapped around him and he was propelled upward.

The next time he awoke he was on shore, his ears registering the sounds of a child crying in worry. Rayleigh turned his head, looking over to where a young fishman sat with his head in his knees. Rayleigh’s hacking and sputtering caught the boy’s attention and relieved him.

Rayleigh did not have the heart to tell the boy the truth of why he had been out at sea all alone. He had told Hatchan that his ship had wrecked and that was all, sparing the child from the heavier issues. The shipwreck story is one that persists to the present day and Rayleigh is glad for it as it swept his suicide attempt away. He never uttered a word about it to anyone, although he was sure Shakky knew what had actually happened regardless.

Though Rayleigh’s depression never left him he began to find little things to look forward to. He was more present with Shakky, he began to learn how to coat ships, and the two of them moved to Sabaody to be closer to Hatchan who would often visit them on the surface. Rayleigh was saddened to hear that Hatchan would be leaving them, but wished the boy well on his future pirate voyage.

He continued his life like that. One day at a time. He found small ways to entertain himself. Many began to view him as the strange, eccentric, old man that coated ships and Rayleigh was okay with that. He even played into it a bit, to the point that he ended up becoming said, strange old man.

Though he had found some level of personal peace, his life did not truly gain purpose again until he heard the rumblings of a Monkey D. Luffy. It was the boy Shanks had bet his arm on, the boy that wore Roger’s hat, the boy that carried The Will. When Rayleigh was able to meet him in person, something clicked into place inside Rayleigh’s heart. It was this feeling of ‘so this is what I’ve been made to stick around for’.

While Luffy did not save Rayleigh, he had given his life greater meaning again. He helped him remember his purpose. While Rayleigh wouldn’t be the one to claim the One Piece or to even be a part of the new era, he suddenly knew and understood that his last job would be to guide Luffy in doing so. After so many years of unresolved emotions, the pain he still carried in his heart over Roger, Rayleigh for the first time since Roger died began to look forward to tomorrow.
