Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

ZZZ Headcanons because I headCANon

also i havent finished the game (im on like mid/end of ch2) so some of these may be canon

Anby has autism. Nothing can change my mind. She is autism.

Nekomata has a lot of cat items, like cat beds, scratching posts, toys, etc. and is a catnip addict. She regularly uses toy mice as forms of payment, and gets sad when its not accepted

Even though Billy is an AI, he sucks at anything math-related

Nicole is under the trans umbrella, cis fem to a ___girl xenogender (probably cybergender/cybergirl)

Corin can and will absolutely destroy you if you piss her off enough, she'll go from nice little goober to the worst pain you've ever felt

Soukaku is picky when it comes to food, if even 1 thing is messed up she'll refuse to eat it

Soldier 11 and Anby literally cannot be separated, and they would both full well die for eachother, and regularly get noodles together

Koleda is an absolute gremlin, and sometimes needs to be held back by the entire Belobog team like a feral animal

Grace will always say random embarrassing events that happened to Koleda when she's with the Belobog team, just for shits and giggles

Ben is treated like an emotional support teddy-bear by the Belobog team (mostly Koleda)

Anton is like the Kirishima of ZZZ. No idea how to explain it

Lycaon is strictly a carnivore, and sometimes just eats corpses in the Hollows because he can

Rina is like Corin's mom, basically helping Corin to function properly and not just cease existing from anxiety

Ellen has anger issue and can't listen to 'No', she will throw hands (and fins) to get her way

But can you imagine being one of the soldiers on Kira’s ship feeling great cause you get to work alongside the Golden Vice Admiral. You see the pirates that have the highest bounty in the world. Their boat is flashing rainbow lights into the water. It’s confusing, but you have orders to man the cannons. You do. You’re about to fire.

Their ship teleports.

Their ship.

Teleports.

The entire thing.

You hold on to the last shred of hope for victory but then Some Guy starts jumping around your ship while his Spectral Monkey knocks out your coworkers

honorary Cunning Hare Corin when?? -> look at her fuss over Billy, she's precious!

[Anby stands in front of Corin, silently appraising her with a piercing stare. She circles the poor maid like a herding dog] Corin, fidgeting: Um... M-Ms. Anby...? Anby, coming to a stop behind her: We don't look similar.. but we have similar design elements... hm. Corin: How- How do you figure? [The smaller Demara gestures to each attribute as she talks] Anby: We both have black skirts, straps connected to our footwear, screws, backpacks, we both fight with blades, and have bits of red... You have green hair, I wear a green jacket.. we're both freebie characters- Corin: I'm sorry, we're what- Anby, ignoring her: -you even have a belt chain like Billy. You should be a Hare. [Corin sputters] Corin, frazzled: That- That's a very generous offer, Ms. Anby- but I already have a job! With Victoria Housekeeping! I can't- I can't just quit- Anby: Work both. Corin: I have school-! [There's a few seconds of silence, and Anby huffs in displeasure- which makes Corin squeak] Anby: ...an honorary Hare, then. Corin, calming slightly: Hon-honorary Hare..? Like that one game with the Knights? [Billy peeks around the corner] [Anby nods] Corin: ....okay [Anby makes Billy put a little braid in Corin's hair, but with a white cap instead of green one.]

Facts about the Cunning Hares for fans to grab, those facts are canon

Fact number 1, the car the Cunning Hares use has a name, Old Smokey.

Don't even think of them replacing it too

As you can see Billy is really attached to her. Don't break his heart please.

Fact number 2, the Cunning Hares have a tradition that when they do a successful commission they have celebrative snacks, per Nicole's orders.

Oh and yes Nicole actually gives Anby a list that Anby actually follows, and it's not her appetite, it's really Nicole's. XD

Pretty sure none of those are healthy, but again, snacks. XD

Ok so this one is general to Thirens but given Nekomata is one, this one concerns her, I'm surprised there is that in the game.

Thirens are intolerent to caffeine, so if Nekomata drinks coffee she might get heart problems in the future, guess that also applies to Hoshimi Miyabi and Ben Bigger.

And those were my little canon facts literally taken from the games that I took pictures of when playing the games concerning the Cunning Hares, so I hope it helps some writters if you wonder about them, the car is Old Smokey, they don't want to replace her, they have celebrative snacks for when they do a successful job and Nekomata shouldn't be allowed anywhere near coffee.

Always little details like that that builds up more of the world, seems a bit pointless but I always feel closer to the characters knowing tiny little thing like that, I love how Billy is protective of their ride and Nicole likes to treat them to snacks for when the team does a good job (even if Billy can't eat but Nekomata will appreciate I'm sure) and Nekomata will have health trouble if she has coffee, I feel closer to them. <3

Edit: So I reread the last photo, it actually says that SOME Thirens are intolerant to coffee, so maybe Nekomata is safe, or maybe not either, it might be something that develop over time, and maybe Ben and Lycaon are safe too, or not and it does says that it's what the latest research says, so it's recent news that probably hasn't been seen by every thirens yet. But well, now it's more muddled, so if people want to make Ben, Nekomata and Lycaon intolerant to coffee in their fics, well guess you can have it your way for your stories sake.

Regardless of what his relationship was with the twins, this whole arc made me realise how truly painful the whole ordeal had been for Cross.

He's known them since they were kids. And then Nea died in a horribly awful way and left a message that merely said "Find and protect Allen", and Mana lost his mind and memories and morphed into someone who was barely a shell of himself and Cross had to witness his downward spiral till he drew his last breath.

It must've been so deja vu for Cross. We don't know for sure if he was there when Nea and Mana were on the run from the previous gen of Noahs but Cross was Nea's ally. And at the very least he definitely knows how they struggled.

And then Nea died and Mana kept running alone. With Nea's last words reverberating in his head that was otherwise empty of most of the other memories they shared. Cross at the very least had Tim. Even though he served as an painful reminder of the relationship he shared with the twins(and Nea in particular).

But Mana was alone till he met Allen(the dog). And then even Allen died and he couldn't even mourn him. It somehow led to him befriending Red, the real "Allen", which again, ultimately resulted in....

And Cross had to witness all of that. He had to witness all of that and continue like nothing happened while also raising Allen and making sure he didn't find out any of it.

Its just so irrevocably sad

I'm so normal about them

YOU SEE MY VISION, YES...?

Nekoleda or... Kolemata, whichever you want

THEY ARE THE SCRUNGLES OF ZZZ

i claim my proverbial first stake on this ship i been here since day 1 (i was just too busy being mentally unwell about it in my server)

Took over my brain like some kind of virus (im never drawing Koleda again after the in-game model lmao i need to reference her CGs instead) maybe ill come back to this and re-do it when im not using my mouse 😂

Pleaseee scrunkle them with meee

Koleda appeared at the end of Nekomata's arc they technically have been like 100m of each other THEY BREATHED THE SAME AIR (sanest shipper copium right here everyone.)

And Belobog Industries had to talk with the Nicole for a commission and Nekomata's with Nicole / the hares now SO HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING---- THEY COULD HAVE MET AND TALKED
