pspsps hello beloved marijuana I thought of something about Hideaki and wanted to share

since his appearance changes according to his mood, do you think as the apathy and indifference starts building up while he was in the cursed realm, his hair and eye color start getting duller and duller (assuming they have color in the cursed realm lmao)

I wanna talk about this in a complicated and long answer, Because I'm in the mood to talk more about Hideaki. Here's a few more facts about his powers and some more insight in his personality under the cut:

Hideaki's entire color palette, before he died, was a warm, soft spring, correlating to his initial personality of being a warm, bright child who clutches on optimism and happiness. That's why he always taps into the sub-element of spring when he uses his powers, because it reflects his attitude and way of life. He was born and raised by optimistic and well off parents who only wanted to see their children grow up happy with careers and a life ahead of them. Thus, why they let Hideaki go with FSM, no matter how sad they are about the ordeal.

Spring mostly taps into the power of Lightning, simply because spring is also the rainy season and just because I want to, lol. It can command the area in Hideaki's proximity to change or evolve in their seasonal patterns, but changing the actuality of the season is taxing for someone as young as Hideaki so he keeps it safe. He can make a flower bloom in the dead of winter, or can make a spring shower out of nowhere in the summer season. Nevertheless, he is in his most powerful during spring season, since he doesn't NEED to control the season nor temperature until he's comfortable enough to start fighting.

The Element of Seasons can also control the quality or traits attributed towards each season: Hideaki is the strongest in spring because his personality makes it compatible for him to control the season. That's why his eye color and hair, most of the time, resembles spring the most, because he's happy and joyful and all things associated with that season. He's vibrant and exudes optimism and that's what makes him so strong in a season where people get pollen allergies (idk I live in a tropical country).

Anyways, talking about moods, Hideaki could also control summer with little to no struggle as well; as a season commonly after spring, summer, in Hideaki's case, is based off raw emotions, outburst, passion and his temper flaming. While spring is his natural personality, happiness incarnate, summer is the emotions that he has to let out every once in a while. Initially, when he was a rookie elemental master not knowing what was happening to him, his confusion, anger, and frustration over not understanding why this phenomenon is tied to him accidentally almost burnt a part of the forest down because the season of summer had been tied to his emotion. It's what led FSM to find him in the first place and comfort him over why this is happening.

So, while his emotional outbursts can be tied to summer still, he has better control over how much he exudes over his element. So when his hair and eyes are in its summer colors (more vibrant and fiery), and the temperature around them is somewhat abnormally warm (especially during winter, autumn, and spring seasons), it means that Hideaki is probably experiencing strong emotions of either passion or anger. Maybe you should start talking to him before he burns down another forest again. Because of his affinity towards summer, he can tap in to the core element of Fire (because summer = hot lmao) helping either increase the temperature or decrease it. In some extreme cases, he can create a fire by making the temperature rise.

Now we go onto the elements Hideaki didn't have primary or stable control over, before he died: autumn and winter. If spring is the embodiment of his personality and how he views things in his life, while summer is his raw feelings and passion, autumn and winter are the opposites of what he and his entire being stood for... For a while, of course.

Autumn is the season represented with abundance, plentiful harvest, but simultaneously represented with death, decay, and decline. You can already see where Hideaki is struggling with this; Hideaki can only replicate or manipulate the one side of autumn that is all about the harvest and abundance of harvest, but not the other side of it. He struggles to understand that sometimes life is meant to be lost. He can tap into the element of earth, yes, but because he can't control the side of autumn very well his access to the element of earth is quite limited and closed off to him. When using autumn's powers, his appearance only appears as a slightly less desaturated version of summer because of his inability to control all of autumn. If he had any true power over the season, his colors would resemble the one in my Hideaki picture.

Some abilities he CAN do while using his autumnal powers: speeding up the process of crops being harvested, ability to detect or sense a change in direction. Autumn is the season of dormancy, which is why Hideaki struggles; he is known to be active and enthusiastic over everything, so finding himself trying to be... Lethargic or inactive is like a mortal sin for Hideaki.

Next up is winter, a season that transmutes coldness and representation of death. Hideaki also doesn't have the personality of winter (nor autumn), and is the complete opposite of his personality. It's literally the representation of inactivity, detachment, stillness, stagnance that Hideaki finds repulsive throughout his life. It's beautiful, yes, but he would rather just be able to move or feel something other than being, well, the same thing as a winter wonderland. Because of this, he STRUGGLES attempting to replicate winter or even manipulate traits that are usually associated through winter, to the point he avoids using it unless the other Elemental Masters force him to for whatever reason. He couldn't properly tap into the Element of Ice; he can make temperature frigid, but beyond that, it's a really big struggle.

(Fun fact! He actually managed to defeat the Oni of Anger with a trivial temperature decrease, to distract him, before Kokoro goes in for the kill. That's how you deal with toxic father in laws everyone!)

Anyways, about Hideaki's colors depending and changing on his mood or what season he's channeling, it's time to go into his abilities post-mortem. He was the first and last Elemental Master of Seasons (he planned for his baby to become the next inheritor, but you know what happened), so most data about his abilities is lost through history. Anyways, because he died in a gruesome, tragic way and is then subjected to the worst condition of afterlife possible, his spring and summer persona and traits start to fade.

Hideaki starts to understand what the season of autumn truly meant during his years in the Cursed Realm, filled with misery and the case of not having to do anything. Not wanting to do anything anymore, knowing that every escape, every attempt is quite futile, he started to lose hope and what made him Hideaki in the first place. While there is no concept of seasons in the Cursed Realm, he can now control all sides of autumn, tapping into the element of earth properly without any struggle. His emotions slowly but surely begin to grow stagnant, less passionate, less feeling over the years. He is only left with the growing sense of bitterness and that building apathy. Simply put, because of the prompt betrayal and murders carried about his legacy.

When autumn transitions into winter, it's not a very special change, because they're all ghosts and the only way to see whether or not they have colors is if the green pigmentation is a little lighter or darker. But Hideaki KNOWS he's been stuck in this wintry cover for over a thousand years. And yes, because spring colors are all about the softness of colors and being full, winter is the opposite of that, the colors getting duller and duller as the years went by. It's a consequence to his power, as the successor of the Great Devourer's seasonal abilities. Seasons are the driving force of his power, yes, but it also gives and takes from his own emotions, which is the biggest link of them all.

Winter is the season of death, stillness, void, and frigid. Hideaki in the next life is dead, a specter, an old incarnation of his old self. He thinks that, in the end of all things, the person he used to be is gone. It died when he died. This new person that ended up in the Cursed Realm, turned into villain, the thing he hates the most. Yet, after so many years, so much suffering, so much overwhelming emotions that couldn't be solved... he stopped. He developed the need to stop feeling. The need to not cast his expression to the stage, to be the husband the Preeminent wanted him to be. The person that is supposed to not care about anything at all. Yet as the apathy built up, so is his emotions resistance. Somewhere inside him, the last trace of spring remains, no matter how much he want to believe that the person he once was was gone.

<small>... he just doesn't want to believe that some part of him still cares about the people around him.</small>

Here's a discord convo about Hideaki's struggle with empathy and emotions, along with a character parallel I actually created with another oc of mine, Alvern, who's the complete opposite of Hideaki.

Here is also doodles of his summer and winter variant when it comes to the comparison of his most vibrant colors to his lowest, duller and blander ones:

Here she is! I messing with my watercolor brush so I hope you don't mind that it's a watercolor painting @manjirian

[firesofdainix]

Oc-tober Day 1: OC drawing themself

Itsuki Montgomery actually has artistic talent, which is why he wasn't quite interested in history and had very intricate, colorful paintings in wherever he usually stays in. His walls are filled to the brim with environmental studies, no space left blank. He struggles with painting or drawing actual people, so most of his portraits are splotches. It's fine, because Wu loved them anyway.

Wakano Mirra's first dream before rendered as Alvern's eternal assistant was to become an artist. She was initially very good at portraits, but ever since working with Alvern, she became accustomed to looking at art in a way that extends in the mind. So, when asked to draw herself, she would probably take a moment to reflect herself and come up with an answer before she starts to draw.

Oc-tober Day 2: Them and their favorite flower

Alvern Wand LOVES dahlias, simply because it resembles his personality and love for flora the most. He is fond of fondling these types of flowers, and Kai occasionally finds them hanging in her office. But, what her favorite dahlia is are the black dahlia. Not a coincidence! She also really likes hyacinths and bluebells, and they adorn her formal outfits when they have the chance to show it.

Hideaki Fujimori (Ninjago) is fond of camellias. These flowers were the reason he got together with his wife, before their inevitable end. He usually leaves camellias in his wake, never really seeming to belong anywhere else. His favorite flower post-mortem would be the baby's breath, reminding him of the love that was unjustifiably ripped away from him.

can i

can i give alvern a kiss 😚

Of course you can! He's just irresistible, isn't he?

For the payment of the kiss, he just needs your trauma

[firesofdainix]

hey loise so uh i know it's been a while but you didn't claim your prize for my headcanon thing i did a bit back.

here's what you won so just send me an ask when you know what you want.

waist up picture any character(s)(or a fic again)

OH MY GOD I FORGOT I KEEP *hits my head*

Hehe sorry about forgetting that but I think you know who I want :)

(it's. It's my oc. I want you to draw my blorbo Alvern Wand :DDDDD)

[firesofdainix]

(Reuploaded cause i forgot something)

The eyes are mirrors to the soul.

I wanted to scribble some eyes because I've always loved drawing eyes.

Yes I'm stalling writing Firestorm by making more Alvern x Kai stuff as if I have no idea how their relationship will end. Also this is a friendly reminder for me to write Alvern with more personality.

His eyes are broken glasses by the way.

[firesofdainix]

Drew a few things for Alvern Wand, a Ninjago OC I made a few weeks ago to compensate my progress for TAGOMJTR, before they were revamped and also got turned to my Fanseason Firestorm's Main Supporting Character for Kai.

They go by any kind of pronouns, they don't really care. He's genderfluid. She met Kai with a chance to help him with his grief over Nya, offering her services of her own kind of 'simulation' for him to cope. Eventually, after some shenanigans involving an antagonist (I'm working on it, I'm stuck over the antagonist of the series as of now), their relationship evolved from a office-helper to a much more intimate one. Although Kai notes he couldn't remember most of his day with Alvern, as if someone deliberately blanked his memories out...

Alvern's personality can be chalked up to him being positively optimistic and playful, smiling all the time and cracking jokes. However, their eyes and the way they express things are not very desirable, as they continue to act calm and level-headed in dire situations, as if they don't understand the levity of it. She can also be increasingly formal and closed-off; while she never lies and gives the people who asked her answers they like to hear, she also doesn't give the desires truth either, kind of like Nadakhan with his wishes. He's just a very unsettling person, and if you can delve into his personality, it's mainly inspired by Douma, Shinobu, and Makima.

He is incredibly smart and observant, able to create simulations and better battle plans. He's incredibly tactical, able to outsmart opponents despite not being as strong as Kai when it comes to the battlefield. Kai also finds himself interested in Alvern's eyes, because it looks so close to a sorceror but Alvern explicitly states he doesn't dabble in magic much. It looks more like glass than clear organic eyes though.

A few facts about them:

- I redrew their design multiple times before coming to this final one. The others don't really suit his 'insane beauty' or 'glass-cut intimidation'.

- their personality before I revamped them was COMPLETELY different: they were wrathful and vengeance-filled, until I decided they were better off with another personality entirely. Morro has it worse than before in my original drafts RIP

- she likes wearing things that makes everyone around her aware that she is pretty, of course, but she can't be touched.

- I gave him a sea-themed or blue patterns in every scene I made of them in purpose. I wonder what their purpose is.

- if you're asking me for their voice claim, Douma's JPN voice actor nails the mark on their demeanor.

- some of the songs I relate to her are Mary on a Cross by Ghost and Mary by Alex G.

Kai finds them very suspicious at first, not wanting to accept their help willingly. However, after getting to know him better and helping him with the things that confuse him, he started finding himself attracted to Alvern. Whether that's a bad thing or not is up to you.

(Ignore that I forgot Kai’s scar please)

[firesofdainix]

I was playing with colors and the hand bases in ibis, so this happened. It's not anatomically correct, but... it did give me a lot of balls to start on more serious projects next time. Had fun rendering it too

Remember that one post where I said I wanted to draw Kai and Alvern in the most down bad, sensual, passionate and definitively not safe for work poses (Except they don't actually do the do, I'm just interested in making it look hot)? Yeah, this is the first part of the saga. I won't actually do sexual stuff because I hate that, but it's... definitely UP THERE.

Also expect more of Alvern and his relationship with Kai, because it's one of my FAVORITES to write in my fanseason. I drew this when I'm trying hard not to remember what their relationship is like. Chalk up your assumptions about them and their relationship in this work idk

[firesofdainix]

I made Alvern Wand in various picrews, I only like the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh options because it made him look unhinged but beautiful at the same time

Vibes that I tried were that he is enchanting, of course, but he is also filled with some unattainable kind of beauty. At least that's how Kai sees him. Also, in Lego standards, he looks a little weird, his eyes and hair being a bit too glass-like for comfort.

[firesofdainix]

Everyone wake up Alvern Wand voice claim

Still looking for English vas with this kind of voice though

[firesofdainix]

20, 7, 4 for the Oc ask game ^^

Original Post:

I'll go with Alvern Wand because he currently gives me brainrot

4. Do they have any underlying motivations? (ie they seem hard-working but secretly just don’t want to fall back into poverty, etc)

Maybe they do, but what's so bad about helping someone with grief?

7. What is their biggest insecurity?

She can't have insecurities if she is the perfect being.

20. What AU would they belong in the best?

Probably something from a horror/thriller movie; the Ring AU's or Shutter?

[firesofdainix]

Look, I SHOULD be developing the story for Firestorm and their antagonists (its literally a messy clutter rn, so far I only finished part one's start and ending, and part 2's ending as well) but I also wanna draw Kai and Alvern in the most intimate and sensual positions (not sexual lol) in mankind

[firesofdainix]

Really went from Hee-young being my favorite Ninjago OC to Alvern Wand huh

[firesofdainix]

Concept for my Ninjago OC. They star in my fanseason Firestorm, but you'll meet them first in TAGOMJTR first because they correlate in an alternative timeline of sorts.

His name is Alvern Wand, and he's just a regular human! Nothing wrong with her, not at all...

Some Facts:

- their main Inspirations are Douma and Kocho Shinobu from Demon Slayer, and Makima from Chainsaw Man. I'm already giving you clues about how they're going to end up as.

- her eyes are the same eyes as a sorcerer's, but more clear and glassy, it makes her eyes look very weird to other people

- I redrew him SEVEN times, I FINALLY came up with a good design for a ref to design for him

- they're Kai's most trusted companion in Firestorm. Whether that's good or bad is up to you.

[firesofdainix]

Give me all the non spoilery details about ur fan season pls. I’m starving for content.

Hoooo boy *rubs palms*

BASICALLY, in simpler terms, Firestorm is a fanseason between Seabound and Crystallized, because EVERYONE assumed Kai was getting a season (we got a Lloyd season out of nowhere), and we Kai fans are seasonless once again. However, the gap between Seabound and the next season after Firestorm will be more than a year for this season to work.

So far, the story goes like this: Kai hides his grief and caters, but one night, when he was out trying to avoid Nya's posters he runs into thugs that were harassing a woman. Kai got pretty angry because they were disgsracing the city Nya sacrificed to protect. He meets a young man named Alvern Wand, who acts like a counselor and wants to help him with his grief.

Things get a LOT more complicated after a few secrets are revealed, and new threats that involve a 'virus' that continues to haunt him even irl, some 'glass warriors' trying to convert him to their side to kill Alvern, him not being able to remember what happened when he spends too long with Alvern... you know... normal things.

Normal, right?
