#i want to do more yuno lore stuff

[reinbouxsworld]

Chapter 7 trailer got me thinking about some stuff

[yourlocalabstraction]

◢◣Welcome!◢◣

Greetings from me, Tap!! I’m a self-taught multifandom artist, amateur webmaster, and abstract character designer. I (plan to) post things like complete pieces, digital paintings, wips, design processes, ramblings, headcanons, maybe even trinkets I collect! We’ve got it all!!!!

Fun fact: I don’t have a pc, everything I do is on iPad.

I’ve decided expand my presence to tumblr for multiple reasons.

The Instagram algorithm is absolute ass, and trying to please it is quite impossible.

I wanted to share more things that don’t fall under the “finished pieces” umbrella that I couldn’t really post before. I mean I DO post stuff like that on my spam account, but only 2 people and a rock see it.

When it comes to my more obscure interests, it’s easier to find folk with said interests on here than probably anywhere else.

I am now cringe i am now free

Fandoms (my taste is all over the place):

Current fixations:

Cult of the Lamb, Chonny Jash, Good Omens, ENA

Other notable fixations/fandoms:

Camp Here & There

Cuphead

Deltarune

Ghosts (BBC)

OMORI

Ooblets

Our Flag Means Death

Re-Animator

Slime Rancher

Splatoon

Yume Nikki

Music I find quite enjoyable:

Cojum Dip

DEVO

Food House

Lemon Demon

Logan Whitehurst

Miracle Musical

Oingo Boingo

Pink Floyd

Ride the Cyclone

Talking Heads

Tally Hall

The Caretaker

Will Wood

My art can sometimes contain subjects such as eyestrain, body horror and gore. Posts with these won’t be too frequent and will be CW’d, so don’t worry too much! But I just wanted to give a heads up.

Things to Note:

What I draw is heavily based on what my autism fixates on. I wouldn’t recommend following for just one fandom since what I draw can very heavily fluctuate.

I have like. 8742578 different art styles. It fluctuates a lot and I’m always trying new shit out.

Feel free to draw fanart of any of my blorbos !!! Just don’t be weird. No NSFW or anything like that.

As of right now I’m new to Tumblr. Being autistic makes it kinda hard to learn UI/website etiquettes, so please be patient with me !!!

If there’s any problems with the custom theme, pls let me know!! I know there’s not too many drastic CSS changes but still. Plus I’m pretty sure the theme doesn’t even show up on mobile so fuck it we ball

If I ever wake up one day and think “damn this intro sucks ass”, i will update it.

Thanks for reading, enjoy your stay !!

I'll bite. What's the supernatural creature au?

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU i am spiritually giving you a hug if you're comfy with that. anyways

supernatural creature au is what happened when i watched twilight on new years eve and got the fatal hubris arc of "i could do that too" and then i spent the early hours of 2023 brainworming with alex

anyways. important things beneath the cut:

main plot:

yuno, mimosa, and klaus are all working for a monster hunting company (idk if its the right term. group?) (run by william (it's the golden dawn stand in)) and they go to this isolated ass washington town to stand in and see if there's any supernatural activity and if the dawn needs to intervene. however yuno finds out asta is living there after going missing when they were eight and he's like "OK i need to figure out what happened why is asta living with vampires what the fuck."

lore:

hunters: humans (traditionally, although there have been some inhuman hunters) who study or kill the supernatural. these people usually have the sight, which is something that allows them to see a supernatural's identity in the form of an aura. it doesnt protect them from getting Fucked Up by their quarry but they do at least know who they're looking for

vampires: all stem from the witch queen and have their own families which fall under the queen's umbrella family. the witch queen very rarely turns people herself. her "daughters" (the other witches) are full vampires and are more superior than those who are turned in terms of power.

the werewolves and the fae kinda. they're classic legends they vibin i think

roster:

humans:

yuno, half-fae which makes him immune to most charms by other creatures, he doesnt know this tho so he just thinks he got extra blessed by the sight, he's genuinely kind of curious about this stuff, he's a sweet boye

klaus, group mom, entirely human, he is so so tired he's got yuno and mimosa on child leashes at all times

mimosa, doesn't actually wanna hurt anyone, she's looking for her cousin who also went missing

gordon, he's fully 100% human but no one thinks he is because he's so weird :( sorry king

asta, is he entirely human? no one knows. he never had the sight to begin with and that's either because he just wasnt predisposed or he's Something Else

william, he's the head of their gang(?) and he may or may not be married to an unseelie faery

julius, william's superior/father figure, he's just a sweet lil guy,,,

vampires:

vanessa, princess of the undead, mommy issues supreme, she owns a club called "love bites" and she thinks its funny

finral, officially her thrall and unofficially her girlfriend, came from a family of hunters but like asta never got the sight. he's not a vampire per se, but he's not entirely human after being vanessa's for so long though

noelle, vanessa's newest addition to her little squad, abandonment issues up the wazoo, she's got a wicked grudge she wants to kill nozel watch out braid bitch (mimosa is very confused upon seeing her)

gauche, vanessa's other addition, he's been Around for a while and he begged nessa to turn him so he could protect marie (marie's a vampire too she's just kinda hanging around)

nacht, mentally ill bitch from the 1800's with a grudge against the witch queen a mile fucking wide, he doesnt actually belong to the vampire families like most of the other vampires despite being turned by the witch queen

magna, bruiser from the 30's who nacht initially recruited to try and kill the witch queen who he then turned after magna was killed by a rival gang. he's been adopted. the only one who knows how to piss off nacht at any given moment

the witch queen, queen of the undead, she's a freak nuff said

werewolves:

yami, single dad who works two jobs, was a hunter before being turned and then his dad tried to kill him for it, he isnt in contact with ichika any more because he doesn't want to hurt her

luck, turned by yami age five and spent most of his time until he was twelve in dog form, he's still learning how to be human, killed his mom on his first transformation

zora, came around to yami's house fairly recently, he's still on the lookout for the bitches who killed his dad, he's a born werewolf so you can see how this caused lots of problems for his dad (also a werewolf)

charmy, just kind of showed up one day, perpetually hungry, has the power to fistfight an elder god but she won't bc she is Sleepy, best dogform for hugs

other:

secre, a human cursed to be a bird by the fae, she's sick of this life but she does enjoy being Held

henry, a ghost who haunts the bookshop nacht owns, asta is his bestever friend

grey, a shapeshifter who lives in the woods and will bite you if they get the chance they have trust issues :(

rufel, seelie of the summer courts, gay ass, owns the mushroom circle in yami's backyard

patri, unseelie of the autumn court, met william when he was fairly young for fae standards and as such never developed the dismissive attitude the others in his court have towards humans

yeah thats about it for like. bulletpoint sparknotes for this <3

[thoughtfullyrainynightmare]

Yeeaaah… so this ended up turning out longer than I intended… but it’s a theory I felt like sharing nonetheless. Hopefully tumblr doesn’t eat this & if this is too long or odd to answer… don’t worry, I understand. I just wanted to share while it was in my head, ya know? So: Long Post Warning!

I am not 100% caught up on every chapter yet, but I do have a brief understanding of all the events up til now. So please forgive me if this has been revealed and I just don’t know about it yet.

Bell 🧚🏻 = wind spirit🌬🌪

Salamander (who honestly looks more like a dragon than a salamander so he’s gettin’ the dragon emoji) 🐲 = fire spirit 🔥

Undine 🌊 = water spirit💧

As far as I know, we don’t yet have an inkling of who the earth spirit will be or to whom he will “choose” to contract with.

Tbh, I have a some of feelings about possibilities surrounding the earth spirit…

Bell and Undine are both obviously women and I’m 96.8% sure that Salamander is a boy… but who knows, I also wouldn’t be the least bit freaking surprised if Tabata threw that back in our face and Salamander ends up being a girl like in Shrek (and on that note, I just need to ask, in Shrek 2 when Shrek and Donkey drank the Happily Ever After Potion, it’s described as “"Happily Ever After Potion maximum strength. For you and your true love. Drink of this potion and bliss will be thine, happiness, comfort, and beauty divine.” This stuff turned both Shrek and Fiona human while it turned Donkey into a pure white stallion… am I the only one that still gets peeved we never got an answer on wtf that stuff did to Dragon??? Or how it would’ve affected their dragon donkey hybrid babies??? That’s the only thing that irks me about Shrek 2… okay, whew, now that I’ve gotten that out, back to Black Clover theorizing)

Going by the assumption that Salamander is most likely a boy, it would stand to reason that the earth spirit has a good chance at being male as well like 2 female spirits, 2 male.

Salamander’s inspiration obviously comes from dragon lore, I can’t find one singularly specific mythology reference Tabata would have based Salamader on so I’m guessing Salamander is based on dragon lore.

Bell has, for the most part, 2 inspirations Tabata based her on. The main one being Sylphs have power over the skies and air. They've been delineated to have control over the wind and the clouds, and even have the ability to purify the air and control the weather itself. Sylphs are not officially from a specific type of mythology, but if they were to be categorized they’d qualify as European folklore, same as Undine and Gnome which will be explained a few bullet points later. The second and most obvious (my fav of the 2) inspiration Tabata drew from for her character is Tinkerbell; from the blond hair, green dress, gets pissed when male partner pays attention to any female that isn’t her, yeah no denying she’s based on tinkerbell; my guess is Tabata combined her with Sylphs wind magic because it was Tinkerbell’s pixie dust that Peter, the lost boys, and the Darling children used to be able to fly. “Faith, trust, & a little bit of pixie dust” (Which is even more perfect because, even if he doesn’t show it, there is no one else in the series that has more faith & trust in Asta than Yuno does… Yuno’s infinite faith/trust in Asta both drives their rivalry forward and, by this logic, is one of the very reasons Yuno can sore so high🥰).

Undine is the only spirit character, for now, that is directly based off of a real water spirit in European folklore (again, even though Sylphs technically qualify to be categorized under European mythology, as far as I know, they are not officially categorized as such which is why I say Undine is the only one) - “Undine, also spelled Ondine, is a mythological figure of European tradition, a water nymph who becomes human when she falls in love with a man but is doomed to die if he is unfaithful to her.” Being that Undine is described as being able to take human form when she falls in love with a man *cough cough* Ariel *cough cough* Black Clover’s Undine’s background states that she made a contract with the first queen of the newly formed Heart Kingdom and has thus stayed loyal and made a contract with every Heart Queen since. Maybe she fell in love with the father/brother/husband/male-figure associated with the first queen and since the queen is the predominant ruler of the heart kingdom - Undine made a contract with her to be close to this man while knowing he could/would never be hers… she wouldn’t die if her love is one sided… if her love is unsaid and unrequited then anything this man does with another woman isn’t considered being unfaithful.. and maybe she’s maintained contracts with every Heart Queen since out of sheer devotion, loyalty, and love to that original man whom she took human form for. Or she was in love with the first queen and has made a contract with every queen since out of sheer devotion, loyalty, and love not on just for that first queen but every one of her descendants. Who knows?

Tabata’s mythological references (demonology excluded because that a whole other thing) for the most part mainly circulate around Greek mythology, Norse mythology, and European folklore.

Going based off of Undine (and Sylphs) , there’s a strong possibility that this yet to be named earth spirit will possibly directly based on, even if only slightly, someone of those three categories above.

Greek mythology, I find somewhat unlikely seeing as there’s no official male god of earth in Greek mythology. There are deities that have roles related to the earth yeah… but no god surround the earth itself or the element itself. The closest thing to a god of earth in Greek mythology is Gaea - goddess of earth. Simplify it to god of dirt and still the only result is Demeter goddess of agriculture (which seems similar to Mimosa in some ways but I don’t think she will obtain an earth spirit because I think the earth spirit will have more to do with mineral earth than plants and agriculture). If there is to be any inspiration drawn from Greek mythology in terms of an earth spirit, but even this seems a little unlikely, my guess would be possibly some characteristics from Satyrs seeing as they are the male equivalent of nymphs - what Undine is technically classified as.

Norse mythology seems a bit more, but not by much at first, plausible in terms of gathering reference for an earth spirit. It probably wouldn’t be the Norse God of Earth Jörd because she is still technically a goddess and mother of earth like Gaea. However, Norse mythology does have a deity of rocks - Hrungnir is a jötunn (a type of entity contrasted with gods and other non-human figures, such as dwarfs and elves. The entities are themselves ambiguously defined, variously referred to by several other terms, including risi, thurs and troll). There is also one more Norse aspect that goes along these lines - Dvergar or Norse dwarves are entities in Norse mythology associated with rocks, the earth, deathliness, luck, technology, craft, metal work, wisdom, and greed.

Norse mythologies depictions of both jötunn and dvergar tie into the third category of European folklore’s depiction of earth deities/spirits. In European folklore, Gnome, is a dwarfish, subterranean goblin or earth spirit who guards mines of precious treasures hidden in the earth. He is represented in medieval mythologies as a small, physically deformed (usually hunchbacked) creature resembling a dry, gnarled old man. - this description is similar to that of jötunn/dvergar and also ties into Charmy being revealed as part dwarf which will most likely be explored in a later arc.

Tbh, I picture this guy’s personality being somewhere between Grumpy from Snow White, the grumpy but well-meaning and wisecrack Lorax, and Phil from Disney’s rendition of Hercules… (not only does imagining this type of personality have me laughing… imagining the 2 most whom I find most likely to be chosen by this earth spirit… imagining them being partnered up with this personality has me near cackling😂)

As for the 2 whom most likely might be the “chosen one” of this earth spirit?

Even though he is technically described as being Arcane in terms of his magical attribute, Mercury is by definition “a naturally-occurring chemical element found in rock in the earth's crust, including in deposits of coal.” So mercury is naturally occurring, derived from earth, and the fact that it can come from deposits of coal ties in perfectly to the hypothesis of this earth spirit/deity being along the lines of dwarves which (not JUST in Snow White) are heavily associated with miners in various mythologies and folklores. So even though technically classified as being arcane, I do think Nozel has a strong possibility of being chosen by the spirit of earth (+ it would make for an EVEN MORE epic rivalry between Nozel and Fuegoleon if they both have an elemental spirit) (++ based off of how dwarves are depicted in mythology and based on how I decribed how I think this guy’s personality will be, I can see this guy as wise/rational but also getting grumpy/irritated easily with a short fuse and just imagine him getting irritated and kicking Nozel in the shins when when he doesn’t communicate his feelings properly & almost always kicks Solid/Nebra/Augustus in the shins when he says something he shouldn’t have - omg this guy’ll be a hoot!!🤣)

The second possible “chosen one” of this earth spirit could be Sol. Not only is she 100% raw earth magic but I also feel like it would balance her out a bit having a male spirit attached to her and that’s where the wisdom side of the Lorax/Phil could kick in and help her not only improve as a mage but also as a person helping her not see things so one sided. You notice, even though the Blue Rose Knights are an all girl squad… Sol is the only one that goes to that much of a degree in despising men; everyone else on the squad detests men on the surface but for the most part not truly. Charlotte keeps up the façade of detesting men to both appear strong for her squad ladies but also to mask her own insecurities. Sol, while she has gotten a little better since her initial introduction, is the only one who barely tolerates men… the only one who’s depicted as not having a façade and genuinely detests all men with a few exceptions. Having a male spirit like character who does not take her BS (*shin kick💥*) but also offers her wisdom and guidance that helps her grow as a person would be phenomenal for her character overall.

I find Nozel to be the more interesting outcome (NO! not just because I’m a Nozel simp… who told you that? They lie) but either of these characters would be interesting and could improve drastically in character development and as a mage having someone like this joined at the hip.

What are your thoughts?

– Grimoire_Girl📚

OKay, okay *takes a moment* (Also: did I just stop what I was doing, just to read and reply to this? .... Maybe)

I'd like to platonically kiss you on the mouth (with your consent ofc, because consent is a big thing on this blog), because I love this. Okay the Fue simp in me was hoping to have more of him, but in the end I didn't even mind. And can I just say that I love, lovelovelove the idea of Nozel getting the Elemental Spirit of Earth.

The theory is made *so* *much* *better* by the mental image of him (supposedly 'him') being a Lorax/Phil (from now on, let's call him Phorax). Because can you just imagine this duo?! Nozel, our lovely tsun-tsun who is in need of a big, warm hug and therapy. (Like Nozel, sweetie, I know that there aren't many therapists around, but you need to talk to someone.)

I'm also thinking that since it's probable that there'll be the 2-2 divide between boy/girl spirits, because I kinda agree with you on Sal being a boy (I'm aware of Shrek 2, but unfortunately I have no answers, but I laughed *so hard* while reading that), if there'll be a divide between the Spirit forms that have wings. Because I can't see the Earth Spirit giving a flying Spirit Dive form.

I mean, what, everyone else, aka the rest 3 spirit owners can rise to the skies and then Nozel is left behind like a plucked chicken? (I'm so, so sorry for that comparison, but ain't no one leaving him behind! Nozel. Needs. To. Be. Included.) I don't think that's fair. So, it could very well be that the two else give a "grounded" Spirit form, and Bell and Undine give a flying form.

Aaaanyways... I do like your theory/thoughts on how Undine came to be. And I could very well see that to be canon.

I, honestly, have nothing further to add at this point. Because this is brilliant. I love this.

But Tabata please, give us a tiny bit more lore. Please? A pretty please

[everything-laito]

How would you react if someone close to you found out you enjoy Diabolik Lovers and then accused you of glorifying Laito’s actions by drawing fan art of him? I don’t think it is shameful to enjoy fiction with themes of abuse as long as one can differentiate between fiction and reality and right and wrong, but I was just wondering if you think it is worth ending a whole friendship because of this dispute. My friends think I am someone who supports sexual assault through this series and it hurts.

Coming back from the dead to answer this question

Oh goodness, first of all, I’m very sorry anon. I’ve been in that exact situation with a friend when I first got into DL six years ago. They’re not my friend anymore due to some other things that happened in early high school on top of that, but trust me, it’s something that I’m familiar with too.

I was also ashamed of myself as well for some time. But, after when I was first sexually assaulted, I still didn’t mind Dialovers, and in fact, it was a coping mechanism for me (probably the healthiest I could find at that moment too). Although, Laito’s HDB route definitely hit very very hard because it is his darkest route in the series. But you can still watch something and be like “oh god this is a terrible situation” but know it’s still fictional, and since Laito’s HDB route is a well written one, you can appreciate it from an artistic stance. Art and media shouldn’t be limited to drawing the positives. Sure does it glorify nonconsensual situations??? Maybe a little but it does show Yui’s deterioration and trauma. Which is why I don’t think it glorifies it too much in HDB, considering what Yui’s thoughts are can be very real.

(Also not saying all sexual assault survivors will have the same opinion of this anime, I don’t speak for all survivors. But there’s your perspective from one :))

Regardless, the fanservice of DL, at its core, is a ravishment fantasy franchise. Sure people are here for the lore too (I know I am), but they can also be for the fanservice. I am unsure how old you are, anon, but considering this petty argument is occurring between a friend and you, it sounds like some high school/late middle school drama to me. I preface this considering I’m gonna be arguing something from the 18+ scale too. If you’re not 18+ this doesn’t rly apply to you (since no minors should be practicing kink) but there is something called CNC, or “consensual non-consensual.” Also known as “rape roleplay.” It’s a kink that can be used in BDSM, and is enacted by consenting adults. Is it nonconsensual? No way! However, in order to practice this, you need a lot of communication and trust, and it’s something that you shouldn’t start out with of course. Also, see Netflix’ “Sex Explained” and I think the first episode is on sexual fantasies. Many women have ravishment fantasies, but that doesn’t mean they want it ACTUALLY to happen to them!! With those types of fantasies it’s just in a D/s (Dom/sub) power play situation, which again, is performed by two (or more) consenting adults.

When it comes to that argument as well, it’s kind of like saying “if you watch and like slasher horror, you support serial killers” which,,,, is far from truth. Murder and rape are both terrible things. We’re just more used to seeing glorified violence on mainstream media rather than rape in general. There’s a whole slasher fandom! With people who love the lore and people who love the characters! It’s pretty similar to this fandom given the circumstances. But there’s people who have crushes on real life serial killers, and that’s just,,,, that’s a huge issue (abs very gross), and very different. Since one’s fantasy, and one’s in real life with real life actions that have affected legitimate families that exist. Even going from the slasher serial killer, it’s like “if you like Deadpool, do you support his actions?” (Which yes he’s an antihero but he does pretty illegal things) which no!!! It’s fun to explore dark and illegal exposition in a fictional world! It’s an escape! It’s looking at a story and still having empathy and sympathy for the characters.

So no!!! Liking DL is not supporting rape!! That’s legitimately such a stretch, and if you want to get technical with this, it’s a type of fallacy called the “slippery slope” fallacy. I believe it’s a combo of others too, but it’s making a claim and having the conclusion be way out of left field. I believe it falls under poor deductive reasoning (but it may be unsound inductive reasoning, it’s been a while since I’ve had to use those skills oops). For an anime specific example, let’s just say you know someone who has a crush on Yuno Gasai from Future Diary. Many people do. Many people love her character. Yuno’s a very flawed, traumatized character just like the ones in DL. But people love her! But you’re not supporting her incredibly unethical actions and murder by liking them!

Even if you know that this is a fictional universe, if you knowthat the characters are flawed but still like their characters, that doesn’t mean you’d support their actions irl. If they’re an interesting villain like legitimately all the characters (except Yui) in the first game are (the diaboys become both the villain??? And the hero??? It’s blurred in the later games but that’s what I love about DL), but you can appreciate their characters and flaws, that’s not supporting their actions at all. It’s a goddamn fictional universe and if you know not to do that and you know the repercussions of it irl then your friends should know you well enough that you have a good head on your shoulders!!! Shit makes me wicked mad, but it’s nothing to lose a friendship over unless if they’re being very toxic (that ex friend I was talking about earlier was a very toxic person and that’s also part of the reason why I’m not her friend anymore but it wasn’t DL related). Sure you can disagree with liking DL, but you still have to respect them. I’m linking a video from Markiplier made four years ago with a powerful message.

I’m very sorry you’re going through this. It’s completely normal, healthy, and inconsequential to be exploring a dark fictional world but not its contents in real life. Your friends shouldn’t be treating you like that. It’s hypocritical of them in my opinion, assuming that they also watch stuff with violence and illegal/unethical acts in them—I don’t know a single person who doesn’t, considering there’s even kids cartoon violence. Best of luck you you though, I hope I was able to help.

Ender Walk (DSMP AU)

Summary: What if Tubbo visited the prison instead of Tommy? What if Sam was more caring for the visitors instead of the prisoner? What if Ranboo became a full blown Enderman? What if Jschlatt was Tubbo’s biological father? What if we could see the realm in between limbo and the overworld? What if DreamXD met Ranboo?

Warning: Violence, blood, gore, swearing, and death (You may also cry, grab some tissues please). Recommended +14

Note: None of this is canon, this is a DSMP AU. This is my take on the story.

Double Notes Lol: This is my first ever story written on Tumblr, so I hope you enjoy it. This was proof read, but I’m not perfect. Let me know if there are any grammar or lore mistakes in the writing it would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day my lovely readers!

-YogurtBerryFlavored

“Boss man! RANBOO! DON’T LEAVE ME!” Tubbo screamed. Ranboo laid there on the floor, eyes flaring purple. He was gushing out blood from his side slowly losing consciousness.

Two Days Earlier

“Micheal! Come on. You like this kind, it’s carrot.” Tubbo sighed in defeat. Micheal was a mess of carrot baby food. “Hey, let me give it a try.” Ranboo said, spooning the food into Micheal’s mouth. “H-How did you do that?” Tubbo asked, surprised. “I have a slick touch.” Ranboo smirked. “Oh sure boss man.” Tubbo said sarcastically. “Well I gotta go. Bye Micheal! Bye Ranboo!” Tubbo said, rushing out the door. “Just you and me now huh Micheal.” Ranboo grinned as Micheal squealed at him.

Meanwhile Tubbo was headed to the prison. “Sam!” Tubbo called. “Yes?” Sam said from behind Tubbo. “Holy shit! Stop doing that!” Tubbo said, elbowing Sam in the ribs. Sam grunted, grabbing at his side. “I’m sorry, but why are you here?” Sam said annoyed. “Tommy wanted to visit dream, but I said it would probably be better if I went.” Tubbo exclaimed. “Fine, but we will have to go through the sanitation process.” Sam said. “The what!?” Tubbo said, trembling. “Please just put all your stuff in a chest and I’ll make sure you’ve got no other items.” Sam said, pitching the bridge of his nose. “Oh. Okay.” Tubbo said, laughing nervously.

Tubbo and Sam enter the prison. Tubbo dropped off his stuff in a chest that was locked back up by Sam. Tubbo walked into a room split in half by glass. “Set your spawn point, okay.” Sam instructed. Tubbo nodded as Sam killed Tubbo. Tubbo respawned as they continued. (Don’t worry this is normal prison procedure).

Finally arriving at Dream’s cell Sam lowered the lava wall. Tubbo sat there feeling the heat of the lava against his skin. “Yea this takes a while. There’s a lot of lava up there yuno.” Sam said. Tubbo nodded in agreement. Tubbo and Sam sat quietly for a while. “How’s Ponk?” Tubbo said, breaking the silence. “About that-“ Sam said before the lava completely lowered revealing Dream.

“Tubbo!? Sam, where's Tommy!” Dream yelled nervously. “Tommy is not coming today.” Sam stated. Sam pulled the lever to the bridge. The bridge formed under Tubbo’s feet as it slid him along the lava. “I'm going to lower the lava! Get into Dream’s cell!” Sam advised. Tubbo gave a thumbs up as he hopped across to Dream’s cell. A netherite barrier separated both of them before being lowered by Sam. Tubbo looked off towards Sam watching the last bit of lava hide him from view.

“You gotta be kidding me.” Dream said, rolling his eyes. “So…” Tubbo said silently. “Tommy said this was his last visit.” Dream said frustratedly. “Well I guess you should have said bye to him last time.” Tubbo said angrily. “You're still mad at me aren’t you.” Dream said. “Why wouldn’t I be? You blew up my nation twice! You tried to kill me! And for what.” Tubbo argued back. “Tubbo, I couldn’t let you all forget that this is my server!” Dream shouted. “Then why! Why did you so kindly invite us here! We were your friends.” Tubbo yelled on the verge of tears. “That’s the funny thing about friends. They always leave you!” Dream screamed as an explosion rang out in the distance.

“What the hell was that?” Tubbo said quietly. “Sam!?” Dream shouted through the lava. No answer came. “Oh this is gotta be a joke. There’s no fucking way I’m gonna be stuck in here with you!” Dream said, hands sliding down his face in frustration. “No no no no!” He yelled, slamming his fists to the ground. “You are stuck with me. For two weeks!” Dream quivered. “What do you mean!” Tubbo exclaimed. “It’s prison protocol. If anything goes wrong during the visit- we are stuck in here together.” Dream said shakley. Tubbo stared at him in fear. “I’m stuck here. W-with you.” Tubbo said run towards the wall of lava. “Sam! Sam! Don’t leave me here! I don’t wanna do this again!” Tubbo screamed in agony. “Tubbo, you were dead the moment you walked in.” Dream said. “No no no. This is all a prank. Any moment Sam will come. Right!?” Tubbo said, dropping to his knees. “You have the same look Tommy had in exile. How ironic.” Dream chuckled. “W-what are you gonna do to me?” Tubbo said unable to move.

The next day

Ranboo had heard of the news. His only love was stuck with Dream. Dream had taken so much from Ranboo. He couldn’t take it anymore. “Sam!” Ranboo yelled from outside the prison. Micheal was being babysat by Eric at the time. “Sam, where are you!” Ranboo continued to yell. Sam walked out of the entrance of the prison. “Sam! What’s going on?” Ranboo questioned. “An explosion went off in the prison. I can’t let Tubbo out until I find the source of it.” Sam said, trying to apologize. “What do you mean you can’t let him out! He’s stuck in there with Dream!” Ranboo snarled. “Look if he were to help Dream escape we’d be in a lot more trouble than this.” Sam corrected him. “He almost killed Tubbo and tourtmented m-me-everyone he knew! Do you think he’d let out a man who's killed innocent people!?” Ranboo was almost holding Sam by the collar of his shirt. “This is my job Ranboo! If I fail to keep the most dangerous man on this server in jail I’m dead!” Sam shouted smoke bursting out from his mask. “My husband will be dead if he’s left in there!” Ranboo screeched in an Enderman tone. Sam grabbed at his trident only to let go of it again. “Ranboo he’ll be okay. It’s my job to keep prisoners in the prison. Tubbo signed those books. You know that. I’ll give you any new information that is discovered.” Sam said with a sigh trying to calm the situation. “T-thanks Sam. I’m sorry, it’s just Tubbo is the only thing I’ve got left.” Ranboo said, not knowing what came over him. He turned around walked away. His tail whisked in the wind.

Back in Dream’s cell things only got worse. “Oh Tubbo you remember the fireworks right?” Dream said with a sinister smile. It was as if something took hold of him. Making him no longer human. “No stop! Get back!” Tubbo yelled shakley. “Tubbo, we can have our own festival here. It will be fun Tuboz.” Dream said, inching closer towards Tubbo. “Stop Jschlatt!” Tubbo shouted by mistake. “Oh-ho-ho Tubbo, would you like to say hi to daddy?” Dream chuckled. “He’s not my father! He never will be!” Tubbo screamed in pain his hands griping at his horns, wanting to tear off the one thing that reminded him of the wicked man.

Tears fell from his face as Dream chanted some demonic language. Tubbo backed up into a corner unable to do anything to stop him. Green dust swirled around the room as if a sandstorm was happening within the cell. A burst of light appeared in front of Dream. It slowly formed the shape of a man. Then a blast of energy covered the whole room. It blinded Tubbo, putting him in a daze. He looked like a baby fawn trying to rise to his feet. Everything cleared up revealing what Dream had done. “Did you miss me!” Jschlatt cackled.

The burst of energy shot through the prison and all across the server. Ranboo was hit with a powerful blast of the energy. The surprise blast made him fall to the ground. “What the hell?” Ranboo whispered as he returned to his feet. He groaned as he rubbed his head. Then all of the sudden he felt an electric shock in his nerves. He fell to the ground, his whole body burning in pain. He hissed, unable to lift a finger. The Enderman side of his face slowly spread its color across the white side of his face. The pain only grew as he slowly began to change. He wanted to scream, but nothing came out. Then it just all stopped. He curled up into a ball on the ground and covered his face. His skin soaked up his tears burning him once more. His eyes glowed a deep purple as he was engulfed in pain. Speaking in an Enderman tongue he whispered “⏁⎍⏚⏚⍜” (Translation: Tubbo).

Jschlatt stood above Tubbo. “You may not be a lamb anymore, but you sure still act like one!” Jschlatt bellowed, kicking Tubbo in the gut. Tubbo coughed up blood not making a sound. “At least you're not a pussy” Jschlatt said, grabbing Tubbo by the chin forcing him to look up into his soulless eyes. “Schlatt! I didn’t bring you back to spend your quality time with Tubbo.” Dream spat. “Right.” Schlatt said as he pushed Tubbo’s head into the obsidian wall. “Your a sheep you got that! Your a stupid ass doe that’s supposed to follow me just like the rest of them!” Jschlatt whispered into Tubbo’s ear, making him wince. “You stuck to your side of the deal. Now what do you want?” Jschlatt grumbled. “Now Sam knows something isn’t right. Everyone saw that energy blast. He’s coming to the cell. You're gonna help me escape.” Dream said.

Later that night

“Dream!” Sam yelled through the lava. “I know you had something to do with this!” Sam lowered the lava wall. “S-Schlatt!?” Sam shuttered seeing him hold Tubbo by the horns. “Thanks for the chew toy!” Jschlatt said, slamming Tubbo onto the floor. Tubbo whimpered as Jschlatt pushed his foot into Tubbo's chest, pinning him to the ground. “Stop!” Sam called. “Why stop? We're just having fun.” Schlatt interjected. He pushed his foot harder into Tubbo’s chest making him scream. “Let him go! Why are you back!” Sam shouted. “Oh I got what I came for my Tuboz. And I’m finally out of that limbo! But now I owe that little blob a favor.” He said pointing to Dream leaning on the cell wall. “Sam let me out!” Dream called. “I can’t do that Dream!” Sam said, the stress causing him to shoot sparks out of his mouth as he spoke. “I hope you like lamb chops Sam!” Jschlatt yelled as Tubbo could barely breathe, his hands trying to push off Schlatt’s leg. “Fine!” Sam spoke. “Good, now go flick that lever over there for me would you.” Dream mocked. Sam reached for the lever before hearing a yell from Schlatt. “You little SHIT!” Jschlatt growled at Tubbo who had bitten his leg and was scrambling out from underneath him. “Leave him! You can play with him all you want when we're out of prison!” Dream hissed. Jschlatt’s blood dripped from Tubbo’s mouth as he stood in front of the cell entrance. “I can’t let you do that!” Tubbo said baring his teeth.

Ranboo staggered to his feet. He slowly cleared his head and he understood what had happened. The blast from Dream had unlocked the Enderman side of him. He could understand the language. He could speak it. He knew he could finally help Tubbo. But something in the back of his head still didn’t feel right. He had some sort of urge. An urge to return home, to the End. He had to do that later now he needed Tubbo. He took a step forward only to hear an ear bleeding scream. No one was around yet the screaming kept going. It sounded like an Enderman. It was all in his head, but it hurt so bad. Ranboo dropped to the ground, his mouth now in the shape of a snarling Enderman. He breathed heavily as the pain subsided. What was happening to him?

He stood back up. He looked for the nearest bit of water. He had experimented with this before. If he could teleport out of the water, then maybe he could teleport to the prison. Only one way to find out. Ranboo saw a small pond just ahead of him. All he thought about was Tubbo. He thought of the warm smile on his face. His little hooves clicking against the floor. When he pushed his head into Ranboo’s telling him he’d be okay. The way he accepted Ranboo for being, well Ranboo. He ran over and jumped into the water.

It was all fuzzy at first. Then he could feel the heat of the lava. The drips of the crying obsidian. The smell of blood. The environment soon formed around him. He found himself in Dream’s cell just as he’d planned. He looked towards the lava entrance to see Tubbo surrounded by dark figures. As he got closer he recognized them. It was Dream and Jschlatt. He had seen Schlatt’s picture in L'Manberg before it had been blown up. Tubbo looked like he was hurt. He wobbled on his little legs. Ranboo also saw Sam from across the lava. He seemed unsure of what to do. But Ranboo knew what to do. He was gonna save his friend.

Ranboo teleported right behind Dream and Jschlatt. Like an instinct Dream instantly turn around to face his foe. Even if Schlatt did notice he didn’t care. He wanted his prize and it was Tubbo. “Ranboo!?” Dream realizing that it wasn’t just a mob. “Tubbo, you're still that little horned ass sheep I put in a box.” Schlatt said, still not paying attention to the tall figure behind him. “Well I guess we're both in the box now.” Tubbo said, bucking his head up at Jschlatt. “You wanna go pony boy.” Jschlatt said, circling him. “⎅⟟⟒!” (Translation: Die) Ranboo grabbed Dream's hood. He held him up like he was nothing. “Fuck, put me down!” Dream yelled, grasping at his hoodie. Ranboo walked towards the lava lifting Dream just above it. “Ranboo! Don’t do it!” Sam yelled seeing Dream grip onto the Enderman’s hand. He looked Ranboo in the eyes, petrified. Due to Dream wearing his mask Ranboo couldn’t see his face keeping him from getting more enraged.

Ranboo was so concerned with Dream he completely forgot who he was supposed to be saving. “Look who’s cornered. Now come on, do you really want to challenge me to a Contestive head butting?” Schlatt sighed. (Contestive head butting is just the scientific word for two Rams having a head butting competition). “What can I say? I like to gamble. I think I know who I inherited that from.” Tubbo grinned. “You're in for it!” Schlatt laughed. It was like they were bonding, but in the deadliest way possible. Schlatt scraped his hooves against the ground. Tubbo got into a fighting stance. “Oh ho ho! This is going to be fun!” Jschlatt laughed wickedly. He charged at Tubbo and their horns locked together. They pushed into each other as Tubbo neared the edge. His feet tried to balance on the rim of the cell. His foot almost slipped into the lava. He eyed the boiling liquid, sweat dripping down from his face. All Schlatt was focused on was his victory. The gears turned in Tubbo’s head. He couldn’t just keep pushing Schlatt away that wasn’t working. Then a spark grew into a flame in his mind.

He whipped his head to the side, throwing Schlatt off balance. Their horns unlocked. Tubbo threw his horns up into the air. He aimed for the now stunned Jschlatt and rammed into him. Schlatt tried to move, only making the situation worse. Tubbo’s horns jabbed down into Schlatt’s thigh, making him scream in agony. Blood poured out of his leg. Two big slashes could be seen from where he was bleeding. He stumbled backwards into the floor. The pain was too severe to even move his leg. “Not fucking again!” He howled trying to stop the bleeding. Dark red blood covered Tubbo’s horns. Tubbo stepped back in horror realizing what he had done. What he didn’t realize was that he’d stepped too far back. He fell backwards into the lava.

But fortunately for him he grasped onto the ledge. “Ahhhh! Sam!” Tubbo screamed in terror. “Tubbo! I-I can’t bring the bridge over!” Sam yelled. “S-sam!” Tubbo cried out. His hand started slipping with nothing to grip on too. Schlatt, still bleeding out, crawled over to the edge. “Come on! I’m not done with you yet.” He said, reaching out a hand to Tubbo. “No! You’ll kill me!” Tubbo said not moving an inch. “Trust me.” Jschlatt said gently. Tubbo never heard Schlatt talk in such a caring tone. Even when he complimented Tubbo it was never said nicely. He knew what Schlatt could do to him, but his instincts told him he could trust the alcoholic goat. He reached out his hand and grabbed a hold of Jschlatt. “I got ya.” Schlatt grunted, pulling him up. Sam across the lava sighed with relief.

“You did a pretty good job, kid.” Jschlatt said, touching his wound only to pull his hand back with a hiss. “I-I’m sorry for hurting you.” Tubbo stuttered. “It’s not your fault. It’s an addiction. I wanted all that power and for what. I saw you as a rival, not as a son. And I didn’t even kill you because I couldn’t bear to pull that trigger. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for hurting you. I’m sorry for leaving you.” He said hugging his son. Tubbo felt Schlatt go limp putting all his weight on Tubbo’s shoulders. “Schlatt? Schlatt!?” Tubbo shouted, pulling him off his shoulders. He looked down to see him motionless. “No no!” Tubbo sobbed, tucking his face into Jschlatt’s chest.

Back by Ranboo, Dream had scrambled out of his grasp. Ranboo teleported after him, scaring the crap out of Dream. “Ranboo, what the fuck! Stop!” Dream yelped as Ranboo scared him once more. Then he got an idea. “Hey, Ranboo over here!” He shouted over his respawn point in the water. Ranboo accidentally teleported behind Dream into the water, damaging him. Dream tried to drown him in the water pushing him down further. He screeched in pain as it burned his sensitive skin. He teleported back out curled up on the floor. Coughing up water he slowly formed back, regaining his consciousness. He now had control back over his mind. He grabbed out his axe from his inventory. He caustionly pointed it at Dream. “You did this to me!” He hissed. “Oh I did that.” He hummed “I think I made you better.” Dream said with a chuckle. Ranboo growled at the comment. “You're not gonna use that axe on me. I know you don’t have the guts!” Dream taunted. “Oh yeah!” Ranboo shouted, throwing his axe at Dream. Dream grabbed at the blade of the axe. He winced as it cut through his hands. “W-what are you doing?” Ranboo said shakely. He then knead Ranboo in the stomach forcing him to let go of the axe. Dream now holding the axe grinned at Ranboo. “You can’t beat me, you're weak! You're just my puppet!” Dream laughed. Ranboo groaned, balancing himself on the wall of the prison. “W-Why did you do it?” He gasped out. “You needed a purpose. I gave you one. But I don’t need you anymore. Your purpose is fulfilled.” Dream said, pushing Ranboo against the wall. He grabbed Ranboo by the collar, lifting him off the ground. (Dream’s still shorter than Ranboo, but he can still lift the guy up). “Say hi to Will for me.” Dream chuckled, sinking the axe into Ranboo. “No!” Ranboo yelled, feeling the pain rise in him.

Dream dropped Ranboo to the floor pulling the axe out from his side. He gasped at the pain trying to get back up. Sam had formed the bridge. Letting Dream escape. “Thanks Sam!” Dream wickedly laughed running past him. Ranboo vision got fuzzy as he searched for his wound. All he would feel was the warm liquid spilling out of him. He could sense his presence fading. “T-Tubb-o….” He whispered with no answer. He could see the blur of Sam rushing to Tubbo’s aid. The whole time he’d forgotten who he was fighting for. He was hating himself. Now thinking he deserved this. He should have protected him. He was such a coward, always scared of everyone. He never even trusted his own husband.

“Tubbo! Tubbo! I’m sorry I couldn’t let him leave.” Sam said out of breath. “It wasn’t your fault. I shouldn’t have come here.” He said stained with tears. Sam inspected Schlatt seeing the damage. “He’s okay. He’s just passed out from the pain.” Sam said, checking his pulse. Tubbo sighed in relief. “W-where’s Ranboo? I saw him, but Schlatt….” He trailed off seeing Ranboo across the cell. He set down Jschlatt and ran towards Ranboo. “Boss man! RANBOO! DON’T LEAVE ME!” Tubbo screamed. Ranboo laid there on the floor, eyes flaring purple. He was gushing out blood from his side slowly losing consciousness. He hugged Ranboo comforting him. “I’m sorry….” He said cupping Tubbo’s face. “You came to save me. What do you have to be sorry for?” Tubbo smiled tears rolling down his face. Sam kneeled down beside them. “You did good, Ranboo. You did good.” He said gently. Ranboo coughed up blood seeing everything fade away. He’s whole body stiffened as he closed his eyes. He smiled remembering everything he had. His friends, his family, and Micheal. He almost forgot about his son. He hoped he’d see him again. He took one more deep breath in and then he let it out.

“Ranboo? Ranboo! No-o-o-o.” Tubbo sobbed seeing the life fade from him. “Come on. You grab Schlatt. I’ve got Ranboo.” He said picking him up. Tubbo wandered over to Schlatt who was coming back to reality. “Tuboz?” He whispered. “Yeah.” He said sniffly. “What’s wrong?” He said, wiping away his tears. “Ranboo’s gone!” He cried. Schlatt stared at him in confusion not knowing who that was. “H-He was m-my partner.” He said. “Oh. It’s okay. Come here.” He muttered giving Tubbo a hug. “Here.” Tubbo said, motioning to help him get up. Schlatt balanced himself on Tubbo and hopped on his one leg. Sam followed close behind with Ranboo.

Ranboo grabbed at his chest in fear. He gasped for air realizing he wasn’t in the prison anymore. “Hello?” He called. He looked to see where his wound was. Now it was only just a scar. “Hellooo!” Called a distorted voice. “Who’s there!” Ranboo said, searching for his axe only to remember Dream had taken it. “Oh, look he’s scared.” The voice chuckled. “Boo!” He said popping up behind Ranboo. He yelped at the sudden jump scare and turned to face the figure. “Y-Your DreamXD!” Ranboo said, holding his breath. “Don’t do that now. We wouldn’t want you to die again.” He laughed. “Your fun. I remember when you were my little jester.” DreamXD recalled. “Wait I was never-” Ranboo was cut off by him. “Oh that’s right. You can’t remember. It’s okay, it happens to the best of us.” He said fitling with an eye of ender in his palm. “Wait, we've met before?” Ranboo asked. “In a past life, yes. But that doesn’t matter now.” The figure wished around Ranboo. “Am I in Limbo?” Ranboo asked again. “So many questions, but not quite. You aren’t dead. Yet.” He explained. “That’s your choice to make.” DreamXD smiled. “What happens if I make the wrong choice?” “Well it could go many ways. If you want to live again things will fall apart and loved ones will get hurt, but you’ll be remembered the way you were by your family. If you want to accept your fate you’ll become a ghost. You’ll be filled with fond memories of those you love, but your image will be ruined. Your family will never see you for who you used to be. You’ll change.” DreamXD broke the news to him. “This is your life. I can’t interfere with that.” “I’ll go to limbo. My family needs me, but I don’t want to hurt them.” Ranboo responded without hesitation. “Part of you will stay here. The other part will be amongst your friends. The alternative version of you will get as much free will as you have. He can make his own decisions once he’s entered the overworld. Are you sure you want this?” DreamXD frowned knowing that this was hard for the mortal. “Yes.” Ranboo replied. “Well I hope I can get more entertainment out of you.” He chuckled before Ranboo was split into two.

The other him looked ghost-like with a big sheet over his head. “H-Hello?” He said. “Hi I’m Ranboo.” Ranboo greeted. “I-I’m Ghostboo?” He said, puzzled. “Yes, you are Ghostboo.” DreamXD said amused. “Take care of my family.” Ranboo said, setting a Golden Apple into his hand. “That’s a very special apple. Please give it to Tommy for me, okay.” Ranboo instructed. “R-Rapple?” Ghostboo replied, still having no clue what was happening. “Don’t worry. Everything you’ve learned he'll remember eventually.” DreamXD said, showing Ghostboo a door that had opened. He nudged him through the door as he disappeared into the other side. “DreamXD?” “Yes?” “Can I take one last look?” Ranboo pleaded. “Okay, just one.”

Ranboo peaked through the door watching everyone meet Ghostboo. It was as if time was fast forwarding. He saw the way Tubbo looked at him. He saw the pain of him remembering who Ranboo once was. But he saw the pain heal and his family grow. He saw Ghostboo making Tubbo happy. He saw him playing with Micheal. He watched them fill the empty rooms of their mansion. He saw Ghostboo give the Apple to Tommy. He saw Schlatt becoming the father Tubbo always wanted. He saw Dream die too, but he came back as a ghost. His corruption was gone. He was happy. Everyone was happy. Ranboo had finally found his peace. “Thank you.” He said looking back at DreamXD. “You're welcome. You are different from the rest you know. You did something I couldn’t. You brought joy, Ranboo. You brought joy.” DreamXD smiled softly. Ranboo saw him pull something from his pocket. He looked at it for a moment, giving Ranboo a chance to peek over. He wasn’t sure, but he could have sworn it was George? DreamXD quickly hid it back under his cloak. Ranboo squeezed him at the waist causing DreamXD to tense up (Finally someone much taller than Ranboo. I mean the man’s a god). “This is um nice.” He said, relaxing and wrapping his wings around him. “Come child. It’s time to go.” DreamXD grabbed his hand. “Okay.” Ranboo said as they stepped towards the light. “Thank you.” DreamXD said. “For what?” “Making me happy.” Ranboo smiled as light showered upon him, stepping confidently into it.

For the ask meme, 20, 26, and 31? Sorry if any of these have been answered already 😅

Thank you, and sorry for the late reply 😄💕

20) Least favorite rivalry?

Does Mimosa and Noelle’s sort of love competition count? Because I’ve never been fan of this kind of rivalry. It shows girls—even worse, cousins—in shameful and unrealistic looks and gives the idea that girls have to fight for the main boy’s attention—which is both annoying and cringeworthy; and this is coming from someone like me who’s boy at birth and heart... well, I’ve never been interested in lovey-dovey and harem stuff to begin with, so maybe there’s a charm in this kind of relationships, but still..

For a more straightforward example, I have to admit that I’m not the biggest fan of Asta and Yuno’s rivalry. I like them as brothers, but not rivals.

26) Least favorite magic, and why? Are there any changes you can think of to “make it better”?

OK, I have answered this one already, but there’s no harm in repeating my words again. I don’t like the four major elements (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth) because they’re just too basic and cliché. It would be better in my opinion if they were more related to the spirits and only the best of the best were born with one of them. Magic attributes aside, I’d love to see more use of magic tools, forms, relics and techniques, and also—please Tabata, give us the lore we need and deserve for grimoires and grimoires tower!

31) Would you rather Asta, Yuno, or someone else (e.g: Noelle) become the 30th Wizard King?

I think it'd be more symbolic, emotional and interesting if neither Asta nor Yuno become WKs and both remain as the captains of their respective squads after Yami and William retire. Julius believed that he had to become the WK in order to change the system, but this didn't work 100 percent efficiently. So I’d love to see Asta choose a different method and at some point in the story he will realize that he never needed to become the WK to achieve his dread... this is the sort of realization I wished Naruto had. I think I can see Yuno as the Wizard King, but not Asta. I want Asta to do things his own charming way—and when the world starts to accept him and call him the next Wizard King, he’ll instead choose to live as the simple boy he always used to be. Lumiere, after all, needed no titles or high positions to become the WK, it’s him who made the WK exists, and for this reason he's a legend.

The short answer, neither Asta nor Yuno, not Noelle either, I think it will make more sense if Julius remains the WK since he’s a kid again and will grow even more stronger & wiser.

[sleepy-sunnys]

i've been considering watching black clover since school's over for me and i finally have some time on my hands, and i was wondering what your opinion was? like what do u like most about it and whatnot. it seems pretty interesting!

I WOULD CONSIDER WATCHING OR READING IT 1000%

Ok first of my all time favorite thing about this series is the fact that the female characters actually get character development and are allowed to be strong. My biggest problem with shounen is the treatment of women and how they're never allowed to grow. Black clover is completely different in that regard bc all of the main characters get development and a lot of the strongest characters are women (for example mereoleona, dorothy, Charlotte, Charmy, Noelle, etc..) Its such a nice break from the typical shounen and it makes it so easy to get attached to characters!! It's also amazing to not have any crushes be the sole personality of the gals and have them yk exist out of the sphere of influence of the guys.

it's a found family kind of thing and I'm kinda in love with all the characters (yami is the somewhat reluctant father figure if I'm being honest) !! like I said above they all get a lot of development and its honestly made me super invested into all of it. Theres a lot of sweet and emotional scenes between characters and it's nice to see how they change and grow:") There are a LOT of characters too so theres many you can get attached to!

The protagonist, Asta, is very well written. A lot of people complain about him being loud but he is a very lovable character and slowly understanding why he tries to be loud whenever he feels defeated is kind of amazing??? Hes also very kind hearted and compassionate towards everyone (ik this sounds weird but hes like a rock Lee naruto and knuckles (hxh) lovechild (??)).

I also love that him and his rival, Yuno, have a super healthy relationship and actually support each other yk?? it's not a toxic rivalry and the genuinely care and love each other.

if you're a fan of worldbuilding?? black clover has a lot of it and are the moment we are in an arc were we are getting a lot of lore on different nations (and I kinda predict we are going to get some more insight on different races within the black clover universe ( dwarfs, elves, etc..)). Idk if you saw but I legit spent like 30 mins today just talking about what the different religions in black clover could be.

The plot is also super good and honestly addictive bc I could not put my phone down while I was reading it. I dont want to spoil anything but it's aaaaa really good.

THEY ALSO SAID EAT THE RICH😤

-the anime is a bit less fast paced than the manga but it is still really good!! if you prefer things to be faster paced I 100% recommend you read the manga first (theres ton of websites you can read it for free!)

if you do end up watching or reading it let me know bc I would love to share stuff with you👀 (the fandom is a bit small and it's really nice bc everyone I've talked to yet has been really nice and easy to talk to!)
