(plus undramatic twink)

(why are they all soo pretty, I mean I am ace aro and all that but I find them very pretty)

[nethersonq]

okay. i think ive done it for real this time

i THINK ive managed to finally run out of bakura colors. finally.

now with the addition of ????more miku blues???, this weird ass sandy color for ryou and ONE (1) new color for tkb. honestly props to him for being the most consistent out of the 3

like halfway through i found someone who had posted some of the official arts i'd already put on here but for some reason the colors were different on those editions and i have no idea whether they should be added or not. so.

all in all. 57 bakura colors. just like heinz sauce

[lesbiangiratina]

Found an asura system tcg website, theres only a couple images of their gg cards but they DO have a presumably full list that says theres about 300 of them. So i have like half of the cards. I feel pretty good about this. But MORE IMPORTANTLY new testament gender history. They put gender symbols on full character art cards for some reason and testament’s just has a question mark on it lol

^ also present on the card list. Cool.

Is Erik South Asian / Indian coded?

This post isn’t going to be as extensive as my other FT posts, but I am going to put out thoughts of mine that have been playing in my head for some time now. Along with my observance of ‘Jellal wearing kohl’ and ‘Why aren’t the ladies of FT wearing panties anymore’ , I have another I want to put out today.

I think Erik (Cobra) of OS/CS is South Asian coded.

Specifically Indian.

I will list the evidence and explain my train of thought underneath.

Admittedly though , a lot of my reasons are for visual representations I have seen of him in both manga and official art, so I am not sure how solid my connections are for the HCs but I will say them either way.

Clothing pattern

Let’s start with the first reason why I believe Erik to be SA coded. 

This is an image of Erik/Cobra from the official manga during the Nirvana Arc

Sadly the intricate design of many characters' clothes are omitted/reduced when animating, Erik here being no exception. And though I understand why, it’s a shame as so many details get taken out which could help piece some more information on the characters which aren’t told upfront.

In the manga, Erik is introduced with a piece that includes a paisley design (the teardrop shaped pattern) on the inner parts and cuffs of his coat. Why this is important to note is because the paisley design is something that is known to be a widespread clothing print all across Asia, namely South Asia/South-west Asia!

This Kameez (South Asian tunic) of mine has the ‘paisley’ pattern which is on Erik’s coat 

Of course it is possible that the pattern on his inner coat/cuff could just be for the sake of fashion with no cultural significance, but taking in mind my next points I think it makes the argument of Erik being SA/Indian coded stronger.

Jewelry 

This may come off as a weaker point I admit, but Erik’s use of jewelry also reminds me of SA heritage. His rings and armlet (or what I learned is called an arm-ring).

This opinion is purely subjective. I can admit that, but me coming from SA heritage myself, his use of jewelry resonates with the way I've seen it being used in my own culture; such as the design , what patterns it is being paired with, the use of adornment. It really reminds me of SA fashion and tradition. 

But I want to be more objective in my reasoning so I looked up why his use of jewelry in the manga does resonate with SA heritage and found some things.

The armlet/arm-ring that Erik has on his coat in the manga is similar to that used in Indian heritage. 

Fair in Indian tradition it’s used as a bridal jewelry (Vanki) for the women, but it was the closest I could find that was similar to what he had for my argument. It might be a reach though and I can accept that.

Now I will go onto my other point as to why I believe Erik is SA/Indian coded.

Salwar in game card 

Another clothing observation, but his trouser reminds me of a salwar with a slit at the bottom. The slit is a bit higher than what I am accustomed to but I have seen clothing like this in SA heritage.

It’s not overly common but you can see where the influence comes from-

But let me go onto the main reason I have always thought Erik to have some ties to SA (but specifically India).

Cobra 

As everyone knows his name when introduced is Cobra, however what this name also holds significance with, is the fact that India’s national reptile is actually the Cobra too!

King Cobra to be exact!

And on top of that in Hindu mythology, the cobra is a greatly respected and revered figure, literally seen as a deity and I believe that ties in well with Erik’s connection with snakes/cobra.

Erik 

And the last point I want to make is that even his name can be found in South Asia too , just in case people want to counter the argument that the HC is improbable due to him having a European name. 

As it can be seen the name Erik can be found near everywhere in the world, predominantly in places with European connections but also in Asia too.

And since I am arguing Erik being possibly Indian coded, I will show the statistics for his name there.

1,386 incidents of the name in the country! That is not a small number even if minute compared to the density of the population.

Map of India with distribution of the name Erik. (the darker red parts show a larger population of Eriks)

It’s very possible though Erik’s name could be from another SA country too. Or maybe he’s a case of being biracial with both SA heritage and something else. 

But I could see him being fully SA too since despite the Christian / European origin of the name, there’s a lot of POC who give names like that possibly due to following Christianity or just out of preference! (and personally I know this is a trend in South Asian communities)

But I guess we will never know unless Mashima sheds some light on Erik’s background. ^^'

Now with all this evidence presented, you can judge for yourselves if Erik’s design/clothing and connection to cobras is merely a coincidence and i’m reaching or is he possibly a SA/Indian coded character?

Thank you all for taking the time to read this <3 Also big thanks to @jerzaworms for helping me find some of the evidence to help supplement this post and strengthen the argument of this hc!

There's something about dramas like Our Liberation Notes, Call it love, Summer Strike and Tell Me that You Love me that just heal me and provide me with so much comfort.

Bruh, this is the third time i've been sick in the last 2 months. Viruses have to actually be targeting me at this point, cause this is just ridiculous (⊙_◎)

Like yeah I have a weaker immune system, but I'm literally not even going anywhere! I guess whatever traces my sister brings home from school (she's in HS) is enough. To make matters worse, my toddler brother is about to start pre-school. I sense so many more illnesses in my future O|￣|_

[sleepyminty]

*sigh* well sooner or later she will get mixed up in this mess

But in all seriousness:

While i dont agree with her, we shouldnt harass her because of it. Cuz imagine being angry at PM for not protecting its employees from harassment.....so you go ahead and harass a person working with PM because of they desire to work with a person they worked 3 years with and that might know/understand more about a certain situation than us. How are we better than them? Dont you find it ironic? That’s just low hanging fruit

As for Cassie:

We’re sorry for our behavior but prior to your response we would love you to give it a second thought. Yes you guys have been friend for years but if your friend done something wrong you should steer them to the correct path as a good friend should be. This ‘controversy’ is no mere mistake and shouldnt be taken lightly

btw i probably won't be adding any more role systems to my to-do list unless they follow the original template; where the top three+middle stripes are the system itself, while the fourth+bottom four are for subsets. ill keep using the ones ive been doing but i won't be changing new ones anymore

maybe controversial but I’m personally looking forward to seeing Pete suffer without/because of Vegas a bit more than the opposite. I loveee Vegas and I’m so excited to see him broken too (lol) but to me his brokenness feels different compared to Pete. Pete’s gonna go from tortured to in love w his torturer and bc of that he’s gonna go through so many conflicting feelings. We’ve already seen him crying in the why don’t you stay mv! Like I can’t WAIT to see Pete escape thinking he’s finally free only to realize he misses being with Vegas So Much. That something is Wrong when he’s without him but it also might feel wrong to feel that way. And I can’t wait until we see the Pete who thinks “he was supposed to be the person I had to be angry with. He was supposed to be the person I had to hate, and he was supposed to be the person I had to stay away from. But now no matter how hard he tried to escape, I would follow him wherever he went. No matter he ran to the edge of the world, dived deep into the bottom of the ocean, or even fell into state of unconscious, if I couldn't pull him back I was ready to go anywhere with him” about Vegas (if (hopefully) boc lets them get to that point). Although that’s from the special chapters in the novel my point is Pete’s gonna go from the state he’s in now to something so opposite and he’s going to suffer over it and that’s just so exciting to me. That through all this in his heart he still chooses Vegas….yeah. YEAH.

So I've mentioned before that I just watched Sk8 The Infinity.

I also got into the whole mxtx thing a few months prior.

Here is just one observation I made which I can't let go of:

So.

Adam. This bitch. We all know what he's like.

Me and my sister watched Sk8 and there was one thing which continued to come up whilst observing him.

Adam is literally skate version of this bitch (OK sorry Jun Wu I actually like you more than Adam but still. Heck I like Qi Rong more than Adam. But that doesn't change the fact that you're a bitch.)

Both are strangely obsessed with one kid which they definitely should not be obsessed with.

Both are incredibly weird- I mean need I remind you of a particular sword in Jun Wu's possession. No sane person would have that. And Adam, well enough said. He's weird. Period.

Both are so overpowered yet they are defeated by the kid they've been obsessed with who has suddenly become more overpowered than them (obviously with the help of Hua Hua and Reki respectively.)

Both have this askewed view of the world where they always want to come out on top.

Both also see themselves in Xie Lian (in JW's case) and Langa (in Adam's case) and want them to join their askewed world.

Both also have the tired husband who was there from the very start, was there to support them in the beginning and see them grow, but now they just want them to stop what they're doing even if it means they have to fight against them to do it, yet in the end that husband remains by their side no matter what. Yes I'm talking about Tadashi and Mei Nianqing (I.e. Guoshi).

That's not even all of it but I'll leave it as that.
