Mainline Pokémon Games Based on How Buggy They Are: A Thread
Red, Blue, & Yellow
Tumblr media
Pretty buggy. The Butterfree line set the stage for regional bugs and emotional trauma. Everybody loves Scyther. Inspired use of Cordyceps when designing the Parasect line. Kabuto and Kabutops should have been Bug to honor trilobites for founding Arthropoda. 8/10.
Gold, Silver, & Crystal
Tumblr media
Yes, we had Scyther, but what about second Scyther? Scizor, Heracross, and Shuckle are legends. Game Freak decided to invite arachnids (Spinarak and Ariados) to the party, truly redefining what it means to be buggy. 9/10.
Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald
Tumblr media
This generation is loaded with bugs! Game Freak realized their mistake in not giving the Kabutops line Bug typing, making up for it with Anorith and Armaldo (who are based on Anomalocaris). They fumble the recovery, however, in not only depriving the Flygon line of Bug typing, but forever making them second fiddle to the Salamence line. The Beautifly, Dustox, and Ninjask lines introduce some interesting approaches to Bug-type evolution. Volbeat and Illumise are there. 7.8/10.
Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum
Tumblr media
DELELELELELEWHOOOOOOP! A smaller collection of bugs this gen, but a well-rounded one. Vespiquen slays. Scorpions get some love via Skorupi, Drapion, and Gliscor. Writing this post is making me realize that slugs, snails, and nudibranchs like the Magcargo and Gastrodon lines aren’t bugs. We grew up thinking snails were bugs, right? Anyway, Yanmega rules. 8/10.
Black, White, Black 2, White 2
Tumblr media
Game Freak’s magna opera. Truly the buggiest games there are. While you have to wait until Pinwheel Forest to encounter your first bugs, you’re rewarded upon arrival with Sewaddle and Venipede, the larvae of the Leavanny and Scolipede lines. From there, you encounter the Crustle, Galvantula, and Volcarona lines. Game Freak has some more fun with Bug evolutions, having Karrablast steal Shelmet’s armor as they evolve into Escavalier and Accelgor (inspired by the real-world interactions between the ground beetle family Carabidae and the gastropods they feed on). Durant is our first proper ant, and we get our first (and only . . . ) legendary / mythical Bug in Genesect. These games made Bug my favorite type. 10/10.
X & Y
Tumblr media
A big step down from the previous generation. This game hardly has any bugs. Do you like butterflies? You get a butterfly. Vivillon is a lovely butterfly that comes in all sorts of colors, but SURELY there are more bugs than that in France. 6/10.
Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon
Tumblr media
Giant isopods! Diving bell spiders! Giraffe stag beetles! A true return to form. While the native bugs of Alola are great, we are also introduced to the ultra beasts, two of which (Buzzwole and Pheromosa) are really cool bugs. It seems they were going for wasps and bee flies when designing the Naganadel and Ribombee lines, but they don’t really work for me. Faint blemishes on an otherwise buggy generation. 8.5/10.
Sword & Shield
Tumblr media
Centiskorch is the greatest Pokémon ever made. I have them tattooed on my arm. Blipbug is the worst Pokémon ever made. I see them in my nightmares. Interesting that they’re both Bug Pokémon, and that Game Freak really min-maxed with them. Fortunately, Blipbug evolves into Dottler and Orbeetle, who are great. Snom has a place in everyone’s heart, and Frosmoth is elegant as can be. 9.5/10.
Scarlet & Violet
Tumblr media
I love Rellor and Rabsca! I . . . don’t really love the rest! Iron Moth and Slither Wing are great, but they’re nepo babies. Tarountula and Nymble are nice, but Spidops and Lokix leave something to be desired. Orthworm is a a big worm. At the end of the day, these games would be alright if they weren’t so wonkily coded and glitchy. Wish there was a better word for that. 7/10.

Boys who...
Boys who you tie up, use multiple sex toys on, and are overstimulated until they're crying and begging.
🔞 NSFW 🔞 MINORS DO NOT INTERACT 🔞 AGELESS BLOGS DNI 🔞 18+ 🔞 SMUT 🔞 ADULT CONTENT 🔞

Boys who let you tie them tight to te bed frame, not worried in the slightest because they're sure you'll be nice.
Boys who are just a little hesitant when you lube up a finger and circle it around the rim of his hole because he's still getting used to the sensation, but are quickly squirming and crying for you to please just put it in already.
Boys who try to stay quiet but can't help but whimper and whine as your fingers continually prob and rub at his prostate as you thrust them in and out.
Boys who were oh so confident at first and are now pathetically and uncontrollably bucking and swivelling their hips into nothing.
Boys who thought having something stuffed into his hole wouldn't affect him too much, but are proven wrong when you push a prostate massager into him and he feels a pleasure like an electric currently buzz through his body.
Boys who have never used toys before realising what they were missing out on.
Boys whose cocks leak a steady drool of precum onto their bellies when you graze a wand style vibrator over his balls and down his taint.
Boys who can't help but unsuccessfully try to thrash around when you turn on another wand vibrator, this time, one that has an attached sleeve to go around his pretty cock that you use to jerk him off to add to the sensation of the vibration, the rumbles of which he can feel in his tummy like butterflies.
Boys who are close to cumming within only a few minutes of having three toys used on him at the same time, but who can blame him?
Boys who are close but not quite at the edge yet suddenly thrown off it when you lean down to lick and suckle at the wet tip of his cock.
Boys who can't fathom the fact that even with his cum on your tongue and dripping down your chin, you haven't moved to turn a single toy off.
Boys who whine that it's too much and beg you to please turn it off, it hurts even if his cock is still hard, the tip still flushed red, his balls somehow still full.
Boys who have tears running down their face and drool dripping down their chin when they cum for the second time in a row.
Boys who cry out in both pleasure and pain when you still don't let up and only move to lightly pinch his nipples as you leave the toys to continue bzzz bzzz bzzz-ing.
Boys who lose all control of their bodies as they clench their jaw, their thighs tremble, legs thrash, hips jump, and hands clench around nothing, knuckles white at the headboard he's still tied to.
Boys who are so overstimulated that their begging cries of please, please, please! are unintelligible gibberish to your ears.
Boys who have become so dumb that they have no choice but to submit to your every whim and want, now simply your plaything to do with what you wish.
Boys who, despite the crying and begging for that to be the end, wouldn't choose to stop you if given the option anyway.

les miserables cluedo au!
(somebody please write this fanfic because i do not have the skills required to)
SUSPECTS:
Miss Scarlett: Julien Enjolras
Julien Enjolras (24) is the only child of wealthy socialites Augustin and Marie Enjolras. They paid his college tuition for the University of Paris before he was kicked out due to disciplinary actions (relating to the protests he held on campus). Afterwards, he cut ties with his parents and officially formed the Les Amis de l’ABC, a political activist group he started at university. Enjolras has been accused by the police force of inciting violence in his rallies and has been apprehended for resisting arrest several times. He is described by his friends and fellow activists as a fiery, passionate individual with a tendency for trouble. Currently, he lives in Paris, France, and is unemployed.
Per his best friend’s request, Enjolras is reluctantly accompanying Felix Courfeyrac (see below) to Marius Pontmercy’s estate.
Ms. Peacock: Felix Courfeyrac
Felix Courfeyrac (24) is a graduate of The University of Paris and a struggling actor. After earning a degree in Theater Arts, Courfeyrac traveled to the United States to fulfill his dreams in Hollywood. Unable to find work after a year abroad, he returned to France and rejoined the activist group he formed in college with Julien Enjolras (see above). He is well known as a party animal and frequently spends his nights bar hopping or at a club. Courfeyrac can be described as gregarious, flirtatious, and at times, impulsive. He is currently living in Paris, France, and is employed at the Corinthe as a waiter.
Courfeyrac first became friends with Marius in university, where he unsuccessfully introduced him to the Les Amis de l’ABC. However, despite their political and personal differences, the two have managed to stay close.
Professor Plum: Charles Combeferre
Charles Combeferre (26) is a graduate student at the University of Paris. Born and raised in Arizona, Combeferre developed an interest early on in butterflies and moths, and has gone on to pursue a Master’s of Science with a concentration in Entomology and Lepidopterology. After obtaining his Bachelor’s Magna Cum Laude at Harvard University, he made the choice two years ago to relocate to France and study abroad. He frequents the Cornithe and is acquaintances with Courfeyrac and Enjolras. Enjolras has been trying to persuade Combeferre to join the Les Amis de l’ABC, but Combeferre has so far turned him down. Despite this, he occasionally attends their weekly meetings in the backroom of the Cafe Musain and voices his opinions. At first glance, Combeferre is on the quieter side, but shows no hesitation in standing up for others or his beliefs. Enjolras describes him as “overwhelmingly intelligent, witty, and unfailingly kind.” Combeferre is currently presiding in Paris and is unemployed.
Combeferre was introduced to Marius through his friendship with his fiancé, Cosette Fauchelevent (see next entry). Their relationship is strained due to their widely differing opinions, but Combeferre accepted Marius’s invitation to the Pontmercy estate nevertheless.
should i continue the suspect profiles? let me know!

Some Bionicle headcanons, illustrated. Details below the cut!
Basically this whole doodle page is about Spherus Magna's mostly organic residents, specifically the Agori and Glatorian. Going clockwise...
The ear shapes are kind of my personal solution to the "how do these guys differentiate species/class just by looking, when they're not really built all that different besides height and armor?" Agori and Glatorian are pretty straightforward; Agori have short pointy ears, and Glatorian have long pointy ears. The Bone Hunters have more of a butterfly shape, with a more pronounced "shell" and points at the tip and lobe of the ear, and the Skrall have a sort of lynx tip situation going on. With the Skrall, I wondered how they might tell apart classes from birth, so I went with giving the classes different coloration. Soldier class males and all females would simply have the tip of the ear in black, Elite class males would have more of the hardened cartilage darkened, and the Leader class males would have a distinct bright stripe marking their ears.
I'm using Berix and Gresh as examples of what I think the Agori and Glatorian look like without their helmets. For Berix, I kept in mind that his face is exposed most of the time, and he gets his ass kicked for "stealing" every other Tuesday, so he's covered in scars. The looping ponytail/bun thing is a Water Tribe tradition, marking an unmarried young adult. For Gresh, he's still a bit green and his face is thoroughly covered by his mask, so most of the scarring is localized to the tips of his ears (which chafe against the helmet). He ties his hair back very tightly, because it gets tangled in the breeze and in tree branches all the time.
The eyes don't glow, but they do reflect! I kinda modeled them after the eyes of a cat, with big irises, vibrant colors, and reflective retinas. It'd make sense to have better night vision on a planet riddled with nocturnal monsters and very long nights, and also it's fun.
Magnan hair tends to grow very quickly in childhood, but slows down a great deal as they age. As such, the regular cutting of the hair is strongly associated with children, and the growing out of the hair to the point of being able to tie it up is seen as an important mark of adulthood. However, the cutting of the hair as a gesture of grief, particularly among widows and widowers, is one of the socially acceptable reasons a Magnan might cut their hair. Hence, here's Gresh struggling to brush out some wind-blown knots in his hair, while Ackar teases him for not being totally used to the care routine that comes with it. Ackar, meanwhile, has a bit of gray in his old widower hair (not quite a recent loss, but enough to still be noticed; nobody asks him about his husband anymore).
Malum demonstrating what it looks like when these guys are mad to the point of snarling. I imagine that, if the bones are metal, then so are the teeth. It's actually kind of interesting if you think about the implications of that. Metal teeth would likely be way harder to break down by bacteria, and they likely don't consume nearly as much sugar as we do. At the very least you don't have to worry about your teeth rotting out in the apocalypse.
Kiina demonstrating the telltale signs of a Core Wars veteran, namely the old scars, the clipped ears, and the back brace. Scars are self explanatory, but why the ears and brace? Given that the Elemental Lords seemed to have degraded from their original mental state since their transformation, it makes sense that they'd probably be less than kind to their soldiers. Clipping the ears not only removes another potential area for infection, but also acts as a sort of hazing ritual; those too squeamish to face the shears wouldn't be fit for the army. The brace is a response to deteriorating spinal implants from the war. Glatorian tend to develop back problems later in life anyways simply because they're so tall by nature, but the spines of soldiers were reinforced en masse to make them tougher and more capable of handling the strain of carrying equipment and supplies over long distances.
And a cute little doodle of Mata Nui watching ants, because that seems like something he'd do. Imagine going on walks with that guy; he'd be like JRR Tolkien on a nature walk, he'd just be staring at a bug for like 20 minutes.

Between the Boarder
Tumblr media
Magna Swing x Reader
Quote: “Fall in love with someone that shines bright.”
Wise young.
There’s a saying that ‘youth is wasted on the young.’
When you’re young you have all this time in your life. You can only see the vast amounts of time you have and the long future planned ahead of you. And because you have so much time and so much youth you decide to wait to choose. You think that because you are young right now that you’ll have all the time in the world when you finally decide to choose.
But of course, this world is cruel.
It doesn't wait for us to decide.
It moves forward, relentlessly and endlessly.
And by the time you have finally chosen something to do you’ll realise that your youth has withered and wasted away.
And so, you hope to tell the youth that have followed you not to follow your path. But how could they ever hope to understand you when they have so much youth left in their lives? When they still have vast amounts of time to plan the long future ahead of them?
Wise youth is quite the contradictory statement when placed into perspective. Because to be wise is to have life experience. But to be young is to not have lived life at all.
Magna though, he thinks that you’ve always been wise. Much too wise for the small amount of time you’ve lived.
---
It was strange for Magna to see you cry. Of course he obviously knew that you were able to cry, it was a natural reaction for any normal person, but it was foreign and almost alien as he stared at your face.
You’d been so strong through it all. So brave and ever so carefree.
He’d never expected that you’d break apart the moment right before everything comes crashing down. Though, he supposes that it’s the most normal reaction.
---
You smiled as you grabbed a hold of Magna’s hand. Dragging him through the crowd and towards the edge of the ledge.
There’s a bright smile on your face that makes butterflies swirl in his own.
He can hear the crashing of waves against the shore amidst the chatter of the crowd. The smell of body odor is mixed in with the sweet treats vendors happen to sell. It’s not the most pleasant smell but Magna can feel a warm fondness swell in his chest. The smell of a party sometime after the climax but a little before the end. It’s warm, familiar and nostalgic.
The stars twinkle up in the sky.
Magna thinks they’re smiling at you.
The feeling of your hand on his own is nice. Not frigidly cold like Luck’s or sticky and sweaty like his own. They're pleasant and warm. Like damp sand on a hot summer’s day.
The ledge you bring Magna to isn’t so high that one would break anything if they were to jump off it but high enough to deter most people from taking such a risk in the first place. You, apparently, happen to not fall into that category of most people as you immediately leap off that very ledge, dragging Magna along with you.
The two of you, surprisingly, land rather gracefully. Has the sand always been this soft? Has your hand always been this warm? Has it always sent sparks through his palms and straight into his heart?
“Isn’t it beautiful?” You ask, breathless as you stare out into the open ocean.
Water crashes onto the sandy beach as the ocean glimmers like specks of stardust from the stars.
“Yeah,” he says, “it is.”
Your warm hand is still wrapped tightly around his own.
You’ve decided to wear your hair down today and gussied up with the slightest bit of colour. Magna thinks it brings out the specks of gold in your eyes. Shining within their pools of colour like a night of stars. You look older, though Magna has always thought that you’ve looked rather young. Perhaps it just means that you finally look your age.
He’s never realised just how close in age the two of you really were.
It's strange.
Weird.
Yet almost reliving.
And comforting?
You’re staring out into the distance, a soulful look on your face. It’s something akin to yearning and somewhere in between the day before tomorrow and yesterday, if that makes sense. There’s a slight smile that can be seen in the corner of your lips. It’s the same kind of smile you get when you’ve played a prank on someone (most likely him) and are trying your best to get away with it. Your eyes are glassy and wide.
Have you always been this pretty?
Magna wonders what would happen if he were to wave his hand through you. Would you suddenly disappear or fade away? Would this strange visage of you he’s seemed to have conjured up suddenly bring him back to reality?
Your warm hand squeezes his own ever so slightly as you turn to look at him.
He flushes, taking his turn to look towards the ocean.
You chuckle slightly.
Have you caught onto him already? He doesn't think he’s been too obvious about it but then again, he never has been too good at keeping secrets.
“Do you want to play the confession game?” You ask.
“What?!” Exclaims Magna, his hand pulling away from your own.
You point to the waves washing up on shore, “whenever you see the sea sparkle you have to confess a secret of yours to the other person.”
Magna eyes you suspiciously, “are you just trying to learn my weaknesses?”
“Secrets don’t have to be something big.”
He feels his resolve weaken as you look up at him, those gold speckled eyes seeming to sparkle. “Fine,” he huffs, “but you have to go first then.”
“Sure~”
Secrets?
Confessions?
Magna doesn't think he has much. To him, it seems as though most people happen to know his secrets before he does. An open book, as some might say.
Well… there is that one thing.
‘SHINE’
“When I was younger, all I wanted to do was touch the stars.” You say.
It’s quite the noble wish, he thinks. Something very befitting of someone like you.
Magna thinks that if anyone were to ever reach out and be able to touch the stars it would be someone like you. Someone as gentle and unknown as the stars. Someone as brilliant and pure.
Magna reaches his hand up towards the sky.
He’s never realised just how far away the stars really are until now. How indistinct they are. How significant they are to this world that he lives in and loves.
Would stars burn your hand if they ever happened to fall?
He supposes that’s something that you’ll worry about only after you’ve managed to touch them.
You reach your hand up towards the sky.
The stars smile at you in response.
‘GLEAM’
Magna swallows, “I was terrified of the dark when I was younger.”
Magna, strangely, is surprised at the words that leave his mouth. It hasn’t been something he’s thought about in a long time. When was truly the last time he slept with a light on because he was too scared of the hidden darkness of the night? He isn’t sure? He must have been at least half the size he is now.
Why was he scared of the dark when he was younger?
Probably because of some scary story he had the misfortune of overhearing when he was younger.
Were you scared of things like the dark when you were younger?
Magna doubts it.
You seem more like the kind of kid that wasn’t scared of anything. The kind of kid that spoke to strangers at the edge of the world just because you could. A brave, curious kid that chased Romance and adventure. Jumping headfirst into a world of unknown adventure.
You laugh, “then I guess it’s a good thing that you’re a fire mage, huh?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well fire creates light, doesn't it?”
“Oh.”
‘SHIMMER’
You smile sheepishly, “this is the first time I’ve ever played this game with someone.”
It’s the first time you’ve played this game with someone.
It’s the first time you’ve played this game with someone!
“What?” Exclaims Magna.
Your eyes meet with his own, “this is the first time I’ve ever played this game with someone.”
“So you don’t even know if we’re actually playing this game right, huh?”
You pout, “well, I wanted to play this game at least once and who better to then with my favourite fire mage?”
Magna huffs, turning away from you and back towards the ocean.
“Are you having fun?” you ask.
Magna huffs, “it’s alright.”
“That’s good,” you turn to look at the ocean as well.
Magna has never really been someone with a fascination for the ocean. Of course he is a fire mage but it doesn't have much to do with his magic. He’s just never been someone to see wonder in something so far away from his own world. Life in his small corner of the world had always been enough to satisfy his curiosity when he was younger. Well, that and the thrill of becoming a Magic Knight when he got older.
“Why’d you want to play this game?” Magna asks.
You only smile in response.
‘TWINKLE’
“This is my first time playing this game too.” Says Magna.
“Hey!”
“What?”
“You’re supposed to give a secret that I don’t know.”
“You didn’t say that when we started playing the game.”
“I thought it would be obvious.”
Magna smirks, “definitely wasn’t very obvious.”
“No.”
“No?”
“I refuse your answer.”
“What?”
“Give me another one.”
“Another what?”
“Another secret, obviously.”
Magna smiles, “if we see another sparkle.”
‘GLIMMER’
“Okay,” you demand, “give me another secret.”
“But it’s your turn.”
You look as though you’re about to argue but quickly bite your tongue. Instead, you look up towards the sky, as if asking the stars for advice.
And so he waits.
And waits.
And waits.
At some point, Magna begins to wonder if you were waiting for him to say something.
Eventually, though, you whisper, “I’m dying.”
At first, Magna thinks he mishears your words. That what you’ve said isn’t what he thinks he’s heard.
You’re quick to read the confusion and disbelief on his face, “I’m dying, Magna.”
Magna swallows, “well, we’re all dying, aren’t we?”
You shake your head, “I was very sick when I was young. My parents desperately searched for different doctors and cures to help make me better. Eventually they found a strange doctor somewhere at the edge of the world. He was able to help me. Said something about how this world loved me too much and that I’d only be able to live for a certain amount of time.”
“Love?”
“Honestly, I’m not too sure about it. My memories of those days seem to blur into one.”
“So you’re just going to… die because the earth ‘loves’ you too much?” Snaps Magna, “that certainly doesn't sound like love to me.”
“Have you ever loved someone before?”
Magna swallows, “it’s not fair.”
You sigh, “I’ve lived my life on the border between life and death. I know better than anyone that life isn’t fair. It isn’t supposed to be.”
“And you’re just okay with this?”
“How else can I feel?”
“I don’t know!” Magna snaps, “upset! Angry with the world!”
You smile, a sad smile that Magna is all too familiar with, “I love this world.”
‘SPARKLE’
You turn to look at the ocean, “it’s your turn.”
---
It’s strange.
Oftentimes, when one thinks of shining bright they think of someone beaming brilliantly with life and light. Someone in the springtime of their youth. Someone with all the time in the world and with the potential to head anywhere in life they hope to go.
Yet you, who stood face to face with death, seemed to shine much brighter than anyone else Magna would have ever known.
He thinks, paradoxically, that you shine even brighter right now.
Crying as you finally don’t force a smile on your face.
Magna hadn’t been able to give you one last secret like you wanted. At the time, Magna didn’t think that he had any secret that would have been compared to your own. That everything you happened to be was forever unreachable for someone as ordinary as him.
Now that he’s older and wiser, he thinks that he knows exactly what he’d want to tell you. What he should have whispered in response to your heartfelt response. Something that he now can’t bring to say to you.
How can he ever deserve to say something like this to you when he stormed off that night?
His heart aches.
Sitting alone at the beach, Magna looks out into the ocean.
It shines back beneath the light of the sun.
“You’re quite like the ocean, you know.” Magna says, “you shine regardless of the world around you.”
---
Die young.
There’s a saying, that the wise young die young.
That this world loves them so and wishes to not see them suffer so they take them early. Wisdom blessed upon the youth is both a blessing and a curse.
Magna wonders if you would have chosen to live your life differently.
No.
He knows you wouldn’t.
And that’s the reason why you’ve also shone so bright in the first place.
Fall in love with someone that shines bright.

The Prime of His Youth: Book V: Where There's Smoke: Ch03: Reunion
Japheth sat in the Ion's cargo bay. Around Him was Arcee, Sirenia, Arcelia, and Roxana on His side, with Pyra Magna, Jumpstream, Dust Up, Skyburst, Stormclash, and Rust Dust standing on the other.
Japheth nervously looked around the cargo bay, "Isn't there anywhere more... private... we could do this?"
"You're the one that wanted all of the Humans." Jumpstream uttered.
"I'm, what?.." Japheth asked.
"You did, Jack." Arcee said to Him.
"I... I did?.."
"To be fair, the Rust Maidens weren't your concubines, yet." Arcee simply uttered. "The loft isn't big enough for them."
"Well?.." Rust Dust asked.
"I didn't want Jack to be cuddling up against fembots he just met." Arcee stated, "That's not, I mean..." she said, as most of them seemed worried, "Your oaths are still valid, and I'll make sure that Jack fulfills them, but He needs a bit of time."
"You'll?.." Japheth asked. Arcee placed her hand on his arm.
"Time." she said to him. "And as for this place being open..."
"Everyone here knows about us." Dust Up stated.
"Including your mother." Roxana added.
"Mom?" a nervous Japheth asked.
"Luckily for you, she's stuck on the bridge." Arcee added.
"She's what?" Japheth asked.
"You're hoping to turn her." Stormclash said.
"Into your captain." Skyburst added.
"I'm..." Japheth asked, and trailed off, the look on his face showing his approval. He then looked around at all of the women, "So... the butterfly isn't one of them?"
"Dragonfly." Arcee stated.
"Griffinfly." Sirenia corrected.
"What's that?" Arcee asked.
"Extinct species of phenomenal size." Arcelia stated.
"So, she's not, right?" He nervously asked.
"She's not." Arcee said warmly.
"So, it's just, um?.." Japheth asked, and started counting, "Ten... just... just ten..."
"He sounds worried." Roxana stated.
"Is ten big?" Pyra Magna asked, "I'm honestly asking, because..."
"Ten is well above average." Sirenia stated, "But far, far from the highest."
"Like, how much?" Dust Up asked.
"Thousands?" Sirenia asked.
Japheth let out a terrible sigh.
"Easy." Arcee said warmly, "Let's tell you about what happened."
"Get comfy." Rust Dust said, "We're here in for a long haul." Japheth looked back at the couches, and turned towards them. He then paused, to ponder the existence of Cybertronian couches.
* * *
"And... that's when you joined?" Japheth asked, looking at Roxana. She just beamed at Him.
"She's a cheerleader." Arcee stated. Japheth looked at Roxana, and almost got lost in her smile, before looking back to Arcee.
"That's it?" Japheth asked.
"Siren is because you need someone to look after, Arcelia because she's a walking database, and Roxana brings everyone together."
Japheth smiled at them before looking at the Rust Maidens.
"And... them?" Japheth asked.
"I thought you'd want to fuck a Combiner." Arcee simply uttered, "Well, you did. I should have known how much you'd all get attached. Jack Darby was never one to pump and dump."
"And?.." Japheth asked, looking at the Rust Maidens, whom all shyly looked away.
"They already revered you." Arcee said.
"In our defence." Skyburst said to him.
"You are even more amazing than we thought." Stormclash added.
"It happened in the same room." Arcelia stated.
"So, I don't just have a harem, but a battle harem?" Japheth asked.
"We are battle sisters." Jumpstream stated.
"Were, before we became Torchbearers." Pyra Magna added.
"What's that?" Japheth asked.
"Something we gave up before even meeting you." Pyra Magna stated, "I honestly don't know how to say this, so I guess straight is the best answer." She paused for a moment to gather her strength, "We are happier and more content than we have ever been in our entire history."
"If you haven't noticed." Stormclash stated.
"We are a bit adventurous." Skyburst added.
"And you hate plans." Jumpsteam stated.
"I - WHAT?!" Japheth asked.
"She's exagerating." Arcee stated.
"Your plans are more about collapsing probability bubbles." Arcelia added.
"They are, uh, what?" Japheth asked.
"You honestly don't know how amazing you are." Arcee stated.
"I apparently don't." Japheth stated.
"So?.." Jumpsteam asked.
"Some place more isolated?" Pyra Magna asked.
"The house in New Kalis." Arcee uttered.
"Makes sense..." Pyra Magna nervously stated.
"Besides, maybe he should spend some time getting to know you." Arcee stated. She then stood up, "In pairs, of course, Arcelia and Roxana, Pyra Magna and Rust Dust, Jumpstream and Dust Up, Stormclash and Skyburst.
"Why do we have to wait?" Jumpstream asked.
"We are fine with." Skyburst stated.
"Hovering." Stormclash added, and the two developed a brilliant smile.
* * *
Japheth and Arcee sat on the bed, with Arcelia and Roxana sitting cross-legged in front of them. Sirenia sat leaning against a wall behind them. "You remember Arcelia, right?" Arcee asked.
"Of course." Japheth eagerly said.
"And you remember flirting with her?" she asked, and Japheth nervously looked away. "Jack." she admonished him. "I'm the one that set you up. We're alone, in our room." Japheth nervously looked at Arcelia and her new colours, "Look at me." Japheth looked over, and saw a loving, supporting look in reply. He then looked at Arcelia. She and Roxana were giving him a nervous look. "They are just a little worried that you are abandoning them."
"Not abandoning!" Japheth quickly stated, "Just... trying... to remember them." he nervously added. "Look, I mean, this is just... alright, Humans... just don't... have 10 wives."
"Historically..." Arcelia tried to say.
"I don't care about historically, it's... It's me." He uttered.
"We know." Arcee gently said, "I had to slowly work you into it."
"Why?" Japheth harshly asked her.
"Because I love you." Arcee lovingly replied.
"That - just - makes no sense." Japheth voiced.
"Does it have to?" Arcee lovingly asked him, and he just sighed, "It made you happier. It made you more powerful As your wife, I don't have a problem with it. I was the one who pushed it."
"And, if I don't want to?.." Japheth asked. Arcelia and Roxana look nervous and fearful. Sirenia stood up, walked over, and sat down beside Arcee, silent during the whole journey.
"That's not the way memory works." Sirenia said. Another round of silence, "Emotions are stored differently from knowledge." Another silence. "Now, look at Ciel and Roxy, and tell us how you feel."
Japheth looked at Arcelia and Roxy. He pushed his nervousness to the side and immediately felt warmth looking at them. He nervously looked over at Arcee.
"Trust your feelings." Arcee said. Japheth looked back. She slowly stood up, walked over, kneeled down, and pulled them in for a powerful hug.
* * *
Pyra Magna and Rust Dust sat down across from the bed.
"Let's make this simple." Rust Dust quickly said, "I'm Rust Dust, and this is Pyra Magna. We're adventure archeologists."
"With more emphasis on the adventure part." Pyra Magna stated. "Until, well, we met you, we've never really felt at home."
"Why... me?.." Japheth asked.
"Because you never tell us your plans." Pyra Magna firmly stated.
"I?.. I what?.." Japheth asked.
"You never tell us your plan." Rust Dust quickly stated.
Japheth look at Sirenia, and brought His hand up to His forehead. He then looked back to the Rust Maidens. "She said something about... probability..."
"You gather information, and wait until you know before making a move." Arcee stated.
"That sounds more reasonable." Japheth uttered.
"That makes it sound boring." Rust Dust dismissed.
"That makes it sound responsible." Pyra Magna added, "Which is exactly what we need."
Rust Dust quickly sat upright. "Actually, yes. A big daddy to take care of us."
Japheth nearly spat up, or at least would if He could of. "D-daddy?"
"Well, you do spank us?" Rust Dust asked.
"I... what?" Japheth asked.
"Jack..." Arcee said from beside Him, and He was immediately embarassed.
"Needless to say," Sirenia chimed in, "others have come to enjoy it as well."
Japheth hid His head in His hands.

“Cmon!” Bubblegum said as she stretched the hose. “Come... ON!” The hose snapped as she stretched it too far, wrecking the rest of it. She held the broken item in her hand, her hopes of fixing it gone, dashed to the winds.
She threw it away in a fit of anger. “Grob, DAMMIT!!!” She then thrusted the butt of her flamer into the ground, stabbing the Earth over and over again in a tantrum.
“MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER MOOOTHERRR!!!” She then paused upon her last strike. Some tears began to slowly trickle out of her eyes. She was holding them back, but the thought she couldn’t fix a simple hose had gotten under skin.
She then leaned back into the tree she sat under with her palms in her eyes. She sighed deeply, trying not to sob over this mess. She wiped away her tears and got herself mostly under control as she looked around the forest, she was in.
It was an oxbow lake she was on specifically, a sort of moated island the river naturally made then mostly left.
There were flowers basking in the sun, bees and butterflies tending to them. It was beautiful, which gave her some comfort. The place was peaceful, something she craved. She looked around more scanning the area to admire the wonders of nature, working together in harmony, shifting her head from one way to the other.
She knew their popular names, Giant Honeybees, Starwing Butterflies, Sugar flowers. But she also knew their scientific names, ones given to them in the Ancient languages of the Latins and Greeks, those pioneers of Science & Culture that she admired and whose traditions she continued in a way to honor them.
The Magna Apis. Stella Cornu Gloria. Ursa Mino- wait what?
“Hi!” Said the Bear Boy with a cheerful smile.
“AAAAAAAA!” Screamed the Princess as if she was some sort of victim in a horror movie.
“AAAAAAAA!” Shrieked the boy like a girl.
The two screamed and they harmonized, killing much of the tension in the air. Then their harmonized screaming slowly pittered out, the two staring at eachother for several moments, as if time had stopped just so they could do so, only the sound of running water keeping them company.
The two gazed upon one another, they saw each other as strangers, yet they both felt like they have somehow met before.
A butterfly landed on the bear boys head, which snapped the Princess back to reality.
“You snuck on me there! Hehehe.” She chuckled with a mild blush, realizing it was rude to stare, thinking about how silly it was.
“Yeah, uh, s-sorry about that! Sneakin ain’t my usual style.” Said Finn as he kept a respectful distance.
“How long were you there for? WERE YOU SPYING ON ME?!” She demanded.
“Wah?! NO! NO NO NO! Well, not on purpose! See I was walkin through the woods and I kinda spotted you sittin under this tree and you started fiddlin with that thing-a-ma-jig-thingy and you sorta... started crying and stuff, so I came outta hiding to see if you needed some consolin and junk.”
“That’s what spying is ya dingus!!!” She said in anger. “That’s twisted creepy! ACHOO!”
“Bless you.” Said Finn.
“Danke.” Said Bonnie.
“Well, I wasn’t doin it on purpose and... um... I’m sorry.” Finn said with sincerity. “Do you... need help?”
Bonniebel’s anger subsided slowly, she remembered it was a public space, one that she technically owned, but he had a right to be out here like anyone else. She had no right to be angry with him spying on her.
“...Y-you... got a hose or something on ya?” She asked, trying to be polite, not expecting him to have anything on him she could use.
“Uh...” He flipped his backpack open, emptying out its contents. It was mostly junk, food, drinks, a pencil, a toy slingshot.
“Hey, lemme see that slingshot!” She said. The boy passing the item to her. Then she noticed it was a rubber band and not a tube. “Ugh, no, that won’t work. I need a tube hose.” She then tossed it back to the kid. “Thanks anyways.”
“Hmmm... why not, make a tube from something, like clay or dough?” Finn offered the pink lady.
Bubblegum felt a tinge of anger from the suggestion, she brushed her hair out of her face, ready to give the kid a piece of ehr mind. “A tube from claydough? Really? That s...” Then she paused and realized she was made of gum, which was like claydough. “Actually... gimme that pencil, will ya!”
Finn gave her the writing utensil. She took it and then ripped off a piece of her hair, with which she began to roll into a ball, then wrapped it onto the pencil, and kept rolling it until it was an even shape.
She spent a minute working it until it was satisfactory. She then pulled the pencil out, giving it back to the kid and then attached the new tube to her flamer, taking another moment to shape it just right.
Then she stood up, lifted the flamer, lit the flame, and gently squeezed the trigger. Out poured a great blast of fire into the air. “OOO-HO-HO-HO YEEE-HEHEHESSSS!” Said the Princess like she was a giddy pyrophiliac. Which she was not, mostly, that was Flame Princess, probably.
“SHAMAZOZOW!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!!” Finn cheered with his fist up in the air. “You invented a flamethrower?! That is so cool!”
Bubblegum felt a tinge of pride within her, which she tempered with humble honesty. “Heh, well, invented in a strong and inaccurate term. All I did was just build off of the concept and replicated previous designs for my purposes. But I did design this one myself. I actually have better ones back at my place, including a handheld one I use for cookin!”
“A handheld flamethrower?!” Finn asked rhetorically. “That is so cool! Or hot! Spicy hot! Spice!”
“Heh! Spice!” She said back to him, liking the term.
“Spicy spice flamethrowers are so spice!” Said Finn with enthusiasm.
“Yes! So. Very. Spice!” Bubblegum said with emphasis, followed by a cascade of cathartic laughter, something in which Finn joined along with her as if she told a profoundly deep joke.
Bubblegum then kept on laughing for a while longer, slowing down as fell on her butt, relaxing a bit. Whatever tension was between the two, it was gone, almost like it was never there and she was in the company of an old friend.
“So, feelin better?” Finn asked the lady.
“Yeah, actually, I do feel better! In fact... I can’t say when I last laughed like that! Thanks kid!”
“No problemo! If you need any help, I’m your Man!” He said with a gentle seriousness.
“Heh, I’ll keep that in mind, I actually need some help from time to time. So, what brings you out to the taffy forest?”
“Oh, I’m on my way to the Candy Kingdom for the first time, as a birthday present for myself! I just turned 12! I’m gonna go see the Princess!”
“PFFT! Hahaha!” The Princess laughed, almost like he was being absurd. “You wanna see the Princess?! What for?” She asked, wondering if the kid had something particularly important to ask her. Probably for a toy or cake or something.
“Well, I heard a lot of stuff about her havin probs, like big probs! Big problems she can’t solve and how they’re makin her grumpy n stuff over it all, cuz she can’t get any time to herself! So I thought I would come and help so she can do stuff she wants to do and live her! Cuz Princesses got rights to have fun and junk too!” He explained in a rather quick and long winded, almost deadpan manner.
Bubblegum stared at him waiting if the child had anything else to say. “Th-thats why you wanna see the Princess?” She asked, almost not believing him. “Just so you can ask to help her? And that’s your birthday wish?”
“Well I wanted to check out some other stuff. Never been to the Candy Kingdom, or any city for that matter. My brother Jake is easin me into things about life and all that song & dance.”
He sounded childish, as the bear boy should, he was 12, but he also sounded completely sincere as opposed to not really meaning what he says or understanding what he means.
“So you... just... wanna help the Princess with her problems to take the time off for herself in exchange for... what?” She wanted to know what he wanted in return, or if he actually thought any of it through.
“Nothin! Just wanna have fun doin quests for her so she can have a good time and stop bein a grumpy butt or whatever! Not to mention I get to help all kinds of other peeps while doin it!”
“Huh...” She huffed in surprise, a bit of her cynicism subsiding. “Why help m-... her specifically and not somebody else like somebody out in the town?”
“Why? Why not! I mean... u-um...” Finn pondered the question, trying to think of it longer term reasons besides just doing it. “Well, shes the Princess, so shes got the job of lookin after everybody. So, if I help her, I can help lots of folks all at once!!!”
“And... you just trust her to know what she's doing and stuff? You would just do it for her?”
“Heck yeah I would!” He threw his hands up into the air. “Cuz that’s what guys like me do! She’s the Princess so she probably knows what to do when it needs doin!”
Bubblegum stared at him, he had such a light and energy that sort of made her own sour dour fade, like a shadow by the sun. She liked his enthusiasm and wished more people had it.
“...What are you anyways?” She asked.
He gasped. “I...” He stood up onto his feet and in front of her and pulled out a golden sword from his backpack, raising it up into the air. “-am an Adventurer! And I wanna be a Hero!!! Just like Billy!”
“Like Billy?” She asked, giving a soft giggle. He was a kid with a petty dream, probably playing more than actually meaning it. “Well, you got a long way to go. I mean you aren’t exactly hero shaped right now. More life... friend shaped!”
“Well, yeah, I guess I am.” Finn agreed, looking upon himself. “Gotta start somehow, yknow?!”
“Yeah, I like your attitude.” She agreed as she stood up, towering above the boy. “You’ll grow tall.”
The two starred at one another, gentle soft smiles were on their faces, a gentle breeze blowing as the sun casts its warming rays upon them. It was almost as if time had stopped for a while.
“But don’t forget to enjoy your childhood.” She warned, breaking the silence, snapping back to reality. “You only get to have one for so long. Some people don’t even get to really have one.”
“YEAH! Cuz bein a kid, is... well it’s... Blabbabloopy!!!” He declared.
Bubblegum felt a sting of reality, a longing for something she saw everywhere, every day, something right in front of her right there and now but could never have for herself. Her duty to the burden of leadership and sacrificing for the good of others demanded that she could never even try to have a childhood of her own. Far too many people were relying on her.
People like the boy in front of her. She had to protect them all. This sweet innocence of the boy, who did not know her name, yet was eager to be her friend and help her however he could. As if they were never strangers to begin with.
One day the boy who thirsts for adventure would be gone, replaced by an adult, maybe like herself. But for now, she needed to protect him from anythig that would hurt him, even his own foolishness.
She smiled at him, one that came easily. “Well, maybe when you grow taller you’ll appreciate it even more! Heh... blabbabloopy! Hehehe... What’s your name anyways, kid?” She asked.
“My name? I didn’t tell you?!” He asked in confusion.
“Nope!” She answered, sucking on her cheek. “Guess ya forgot!”
“Oh, sorry, It’s Finn! Nice to meet ya!” He said with a toothy smile.
“Finn? Finn... Finn Finn Finn!” She said. “I like that name! It has an elegance to it!”
“Whelp, it’s been a blast lady! Be seein ya!” Finn waved as he turned to wander.
“Wait, where are you going?!” She said in shock, having not given her name yet, she was actually a bit offended. He must have forgotten his manners, or that she didn’t give him her name yet.
“The Candy Kingdom!” He said. “I’m off to see Princess Bubblegum, like I said! See ya later!”
She gave the boy a glare. “What makes you think you haven’t already met her, Finn?” Said Bonniebel with a tinge of anger, honied with a tone of teasing.
“Huh?” Finn looked back at the girl. “What do you mean?”
“Kinda obvi, ain’t it?” She asked. Was this kid actually dense or did he not know how to spot a Princess when he saw one? Especially one as famous as she was.
“...Um... ar-... are you her!?” Finn guessed, unsure if that was what she meant.
“Yup!” She confirmed, planting her hand on her hips, striking a pose of triumph. “I am Princess Bonniebel Bubblegum of the Candy Kingdom! It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance!” She then gave a formal curtsy.
“No way!” Finn said.
“Yes way! I am happy to fulfill your birthday wish.” She began with a happiness in her voice, like it was coming out of her chest. “As I am su-”
“Nah-nah, I mean, no way!” Finn interrupted. “You can’t be the Princess!”
Bonnie stared at the kid and gaffed at him with a huff. “Uh... yeah, I am! I am obviously the Princess!” She retorted, thinking the Bear Boy creature really was dense. Maybe he needed his ears cleaned?
“Nah, you can’t be, why would a Princess be out here in the middle of the woods. Plus you don’t have a crown! Princesses need crowns to let everybody know they’re Princesses! It’s the rules and stuff!” He threw his hands up into the air as he approached the girl.
“Uh, first of all, I can be out here if I want, these are my woods!” She said with a hint of righteous arrogance, like a teacher lecturing a student. “Second of none, I DO have a crown! It’s on my head, as you can clearly see! I mean, it’s more like a Tiara, but it totes counts!” She pointed to her head, bowing a little to show it off.
Finn stared at Bonnie’s head for a moment, scanning it. “...I don’t see nothin.” He shrugged.
“Are you blind?!” She asked in frustration. “Or color blind and it’s blending in or something?!” She then placed he hand upon her head. “It’s right... there...”
The Princess then waved her hand around her head, then rubbed her hands directly upon it, only to discover the shocking horror. “Oh FFFFFUUUUUUU-” She began, only remembering just now that a child was present. “-uuuu-dge. Fudge.” She censored. “Fudge, FUDGE! FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE ME ALL THE WAY TO CHURCH!!!”
“I like fudge!” Finn commented, partly trying to diffuse her anger by being silly, but also stating a fact.
“I LOST MY CROWN!!!” She yelled, almost panicking as she searched around the area. “OH GLOB! I-I need to retrace my steps! Oh Grob it better not fallen intot he river!”
“Whoa calm down, Princess! It’s just a piece of jewelry!” Finn said, trying to calm her down. “Nothin you can’t replace!”
“MY CROWN IS A SYMBOL OF MY AUTHORITY! One that you clearly demonstrated that I needed!” She spat. “Besides, the crown itself isn’t all that important, the Gem is! I NEED that Gem! More than anything else! It’s crucial to the lands safety.”
“Oh zip! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to downplay it!” Finn said with remorse, feeling an icy chill of regret. “What does it look like!? I’ll help find it!”
She huffed and then sighed. She did need his help right now in finding it and this was her fault for losing it to begin with. No need to take out her anger on him for something he didn’t mean to do.
“Okay, thanks kid, I appreciate it! Now it looks... like... what’s he’s wearing right now.” Her face grew into one of fear as she pointed behind Finn.
“Wuh?” Finn looked behind himself and saw a pink guy on the top of the waterfall wearing a red gown, a fashionably cute Tiara meant for girls, sporting a most mighty and righteous beard.
“Hey good lookin!” Said the Ice King with a grin most crazy wicked. “Watchya got cookin?”

Hi Erika!
I think I somehow missed the moment you reblogged the OC ask game. Anyway if you're still taking asks could you answer 🤦‍♀️😊🤝 for Helia?
Thanks 💕
Hiya there Lola~! It's okay that you missed the reblog since I have my queue posting quite a few posts a day. And you were no doubt busy working hard on other stuff!
But not to worry, I'm still taking asks and I'd be happy to answer the questions you've got for me!
And these questions are for Helia~!
🤦‍♀️ - Something that continues to embarrass them to this day
Helia is a bit of a ditz and doesn't always think before she speaks. That leads to the chance of her putting her foot in her mouth, as she once did with Asta.
Back when Asta joined the Black Bulls and everyone learned that he was completely without magic, Helia's response to it was "oh so it's kinda like you're magically impotent?" The question embarrassed Asta thoroughly. Finral scolded Helia's remark while folks like Magna and Yami got a good chuckle out of it.
Asta never holds it against Helia and they get along great, practically like siblings. But if the topic of how they met ever comes up, Helia buries her face in her hands and Asta awkwardly tries to laugh away the subject. Solid and Nebra do eventually catch wind of Helia's awful phrasing and poke fun at her for it for the rest of the day.
(Also, Helia's comparison doesn't even make sense. She was probably looking to say "magically sterile" and not "impotent" but she didn't take the time to consider her phrasing and the implications of her words.)
😊 - Something that always makes them smile
Helia's day can always be brightened by a gift of flowers. It can be a full bouquet of many different flowers or it can just be a sprig of bluebells. Maybe it's because of her affinity or maybe it's just because flowers are something Helia associates with happiness but Helia can't feel down when she's got a bloom or two in her hands.
🤝 - Are they good with people? Are they able to get along with people and communicate effectively with the people around them?
Helia does amazingly with people! She's outgoing and a big extrovert! Helia thrives on the energy other people bring, especially if everyone is having a good time. As I said before, she doesn't think too much before she speaks. So while it means she can say things in a clumsy way at times, it also means she speaks in a direct way. It's pretty easy to communicate with her that way.
Not only that but Helia likes making people feel good, sharing compliments and positive thoughts as much as she can. That gets her in a lot of people's good sides. But being so complimentary towards people has also made her seem shallow and like a flatterer. Which... is a little true. But that doesn't stop Helia from being a genuine social butterfly.

Gauche x Grey (Greyche analysis/Guide?) PART 2
(not me promoting my art as the cover again)
Tumblr media
HEEEYA here's part 2
So let's continue this massive-… I don't even know what to call this anymore, I feel like I'm just making a Greyche Guide for beginners KAKQKQOA If you are reading this, I hope you like it UEDUH I'm just having fun while rambling that's all DUEIDH
So, first things first, I went through the anime (from where part 1 left off) to catch some little moments on the time skip (before episode 150);
(Chapter 224/ Episode 128) Gauche and Grey are pretty much traumatized after the Agrippa Family experience. Asta in the anime says that what they ate got them like that, as in the manga they just died in their beds DIUEDUHDH Luck says they are stuck in bed akakqka Some meme that they are stuck in bed for that sus reason we all know about but yeah memes aside, they just are traumatized IUUDHHE
Tumblr media
And yes it's worth mentioning for the pics. Since they don't appear for a bit in the anime, that food really fucked them up for real kwkakaka I'm just kidding UEDIUHDHE
(Episode 134) I do know that this episode is filler but since Sister Theresa implied that Gauche asked Grey to transform him into a child, I just wanted to point out how the conversation must have been for her to turn him into a child wkakskd How did he even asked that? And imagine suddenly being asked to turn someone into a child- But truly like (This is just headcanon now) He gets turned, looks at the mirror "Ah just as I remember" And just leaves like a child, and Grey there just watching- UEDIDH
Tumblr media
(Episode 140) They are caught together by Sally and it's just dorky the whole scene. When Sally says that she will experiment on both of them, Grey replies with "Us together... embarassing"- But she would be embarassed with anyone I believe- Well, have Grey clinging without Gauche complaining (at this point is pretty much something natural to him). Also I love that that's just Gauche's signature pose after the "hands in pockets" pose.
Tumblr media
NOW THE EPISODE
(Episode 150)
Well this maiden's challenge is about overcoming her shyness and feeling more comfortable in her true form or at least to handle being looked at. It begins with Grey thinking about how her comrades are improving and she believes that she needs to improve too. She comments on Finral, Gordon, Luck, Magna, Noelle and Asta, the last she comments on is our grumpy boy Gauche. She comments he got "less weird" or at least she thinks so. Which is the funniest improvement to have tbh KQKQKQK actually there’s not that much screen time for Gauche’s improvement/or just focus during the timeskip but it’s fine too
Grey in Gauche's form goes to speak with Gauche himself. She is probably hella embarrassed at this point to need to transform in him to ask for his help. He asks why she is walking around in his form and then she actually asks for help. But he doesn't understand at all since their magic attributes are totally different. Then she explains that she would like to learn how to be more confident. Since she asked him for his help is safe to assume she thinks of Gauche as a confident individual too, I just think he has that “zero fucks attitude” which goes along with it tbh
He refuses at first, to which she says "Don't be mean >_< help me", then he says that he doesn't get anything in return. She offers to do a favor for him. He agrees to help if she transforms into Marie and reads a script of cute quotes to him. Well Grey still is a bit puzzled since she isn't the real Marie but that would make him happy anyway? Gauche is just like "I will survive since I only see real Marie monthly"
Well, outside Gauche surrounds Grey with mirrors with his reflection on it, like it must be a total nightmare of embarrassment for Grey jakqkaka being watched 360 by Gauche.
Well she can't handle it as it is obvious and Gauche is forced to think of something else. Then the whole butterfly hypnosis thing happens, where he commanded Grey to have a carefree mind like a turtle. If I Google it for the overanalyzing sarcasm, Goggle says that "Butterflies symbolize the essence of eternal love and companionship" and “If the turtle is your spirit animal, you probably value stability and security in your relationships. You tend to move slowly and methodically, taking your time to get to know someone before committing. However, you can sometimes be too cautious, missing out on opportunities because you're afraid of taking risks.” UEDUHIUEHD
Overanalyzing sarcasm aside, Butterflies are the symbol of transformation which goes along with Grey. That's it.
Back to our slowburn as it is, she handles the fact that she is being watched 360 by Gauche and he smiles at the accomplishment.
He takes her to town, (date vibes- kidding UEIHIUDHED) and she is quite handling well to be around so many people. Gauche says it will be fine to be surrounded by her comrades then. She thanks him and there he goes asking for her to fulfill her end of the deal.
She transforms into Marie, Gauche immediately rushes nose bleeding to hug "Marie". Grey goes back to her true form. Gauche stops there mid almost hug (;-;) and asks why she turned back, to which Grey is embarrassed again and replies that "that was a bit much". He tells her to transform back. Some people see that as him forcing her, I can see that too but at the same time well they were testing Grey embarrassment too after all and he doesn’t do it again so meh, whatever it was he redeems himself a few seconds after so yeah UEUDHEH. She says she can't transform because she is embarrassed. That means the hypnosis has also worn off. I have the theory that probably the hypnosis worn off because well Grey got embarrassed because it was Gauche… And it’s sus, so that person that you have a sus feeling coming to hug you is fucked up but it’s just a theory, probably it just worn off naturally and that’s pretty much it.
Gauche complains that she got back to normal, so he looks away from her and says that it was a waste of time all their work. Also the frame where Grey is dying of embarrassment and Gauche is looking away, if you take out of the context looks like two embarrassed people that have that sus feeling towards each other is funny UIEUDHEIUHD
Tumblr media
Then he asks why she just doesn't turn to the other form since she doesn't get embarrassed while transformed. Grey says that it wouldn't be the real her. To which Gauche replies with the infamous "No matter what form you take, you are always Grey" and starts walking away as if it was nothing like the aloof wannabe mf he is (Zora and Gauche are just that type of guy but then internally they are soft edgy mfs). Grey giggles and then follows him.
Tumblr media
With that being said…I think is great that he didn't actually see her as his sister when he asked to turn into her. It's still weird and all if you think too much about it due to the siscon thing, but despite popular opinion I don't shipp them just for Gauche to lose his "siscon" thing, he is already working pretty much on it when caring for his team mates and such. Also I think their partnership is far more about just Grey making him transcend or some shit. Also, I think it was nice of him not forcing her at all to transform back after that or pressuring her. Their time was wasted and he was just like "oh well...", not to mention him like saying that to Grey. Finally, It’s pretty much convenient calling the episode “The Maidens’ Challenge”, and including two “princesses/maidens” with their “princes”. Two anxious princesses in their own waysUEIDUHED and well those… two princes UDEDUYEH Let's head now to the Heart Kingdom Joint Struggle Arc
(Chapter 240/241/242/243- Episode 162) Well I like these three panels. We have "Them", "Traumatized them" and "Gauche having a window jumpscare" like Grey did (not exactly a jumpscare but it was a funny paralel)
Tumblr media
We have a little scene before Gauche goes with shit. Like in the anime Grey notices Gauche isn't there when he goes off to the roof. But well GAUCHE GOES WITH SHIT
Tumblr media
ah wrong image
BUT GAUCHE GOES WITH SHIT In the anime we can see Grey looking at him worried and yeah good job Grey ;-; I would be brain dead at that point because I would be feeling so much shit that worried would be my last facial expression, that's why I'm not a magic knight for sure
Tumblr media
Grey cries calling out his name and cries because she couldn't do anything and her magic is "useless". She cries, we cry, I cry,- idk if he is in the same state as Yami when he was about to die in the Spade Raid arc and Charlotte confessed to him, but he didn't manage to listen to any of what she said. so idk if he is listening at all at least he is kinda seeing what's happening in front of him and he knows she saved him well
(Chapter 244_Episode 163) CINDERELLA GREY LET'S GOOO
As Dante casually wrecks the shit out of Asta, Grey is having a hard time, I mean, sure Gauche is literally dying BUT HEY GREY MY GIRL is having a hard time.
It seems like he is looking at her while he dies but I'm not sure so I won't go further into it.
mf just looking straight to what's in front of him and I'm like OH SHIT HE IS LOOKING AT HER
Seriously I can't tell at all
We see her Cinderella back story, we cry- I cry and we will skip to the part where she runs away from home. A group of bastards try to do you know what to Grey (in one of her step sisters from) and suddenly Gauche saves her. However he tells her to not be mistaken, he just saved her because Marie asked him to. By seeing how Gauche and Marie are good siblings she wishes she had a good sibling relationship like that. Well Gauche asks what she is doing at a forest. She doesn't know how to answer, Marie says she should go back home. Gauche asks if she ran away from home and well here we have Gauche's life advice:
Tumblr media
and
Tumblr media
Well destiny brought them to the same place. And that advice actually helped her a lot. When she was recruited to the Black Bulls, there, she reencountered Gauche but he did not recognize her. Regardless, she was grateful AF for him indirectly leading her to the squad, where she felt that she truly belonged and made friends who are like family to her. Which is also some type of Cinderella and Prince thing, he doesn't recognizing her because she was transformed into a maiden. Also if I was to be dramatic, her transformation on the night she met Gauche went off just like Cinderella's at midnight. In Cinderella, she is the one to disappear so she can go back to normal away from everybody else, however in this story Gauche just walked away and Grey got back to normal. Cinderella Gauche confirmed- However to be fair it probably wasn't midnight but it's a parallel I guess. Actually I could be even more hours talking about all the meanings and shit behind the Cinderella parallel but I might as well die from writing. Ah About her true name theory, I have no idea what it might be but if it is meant to be "Cinderella's name" I just wanna say to everyone who gets Cinderella's name wrong, her name is ELLA, not AURORA, not RELLA it's ELLA. CINDER plus ELLA (not including the old origin story of Cinderella for that info) I just wanted to say that because I've seen so many people getting Cinderella's name wrong while theorizing and it hurts However I don't think Grey's name is Ella or Cinderella, I have no clue I wouldn't be surprised if her name is Blue or some shit IUDEIUDHHE And her sisters where like "sksksksk Grey matches your name since it's a colour too" Idk guys UIEDUHUHE BACK TO FOCUS, in the anime it is added the scene of episode 150 where Gauche tells Grey that she will always be Grey doesn't matter what form she takes to add more into it. Well she wishes to save him and-
Tumblr media
she does save him and says this cute thing too <3
well
then Gauche is just there IUDEIDUHEIU lowkey dying but this time alive and well IUEHDIE
(Chapter 260-Episode 167) Well Asta and Yami win and stuff- Gauche wakes up (Note: Grey never left his side, I know she wouldn't be helpful at all in the battle but yeah SUS) She is just happy as hell and hugs him out of happiness. Which is cute because she was THAT happy to not even think on how "embarassing it would be". He doesn't brush her away or anything but well she gets embarrassed and pushes herself away apologizing. Worth mentioning Vanessa lowkey shipping-
Tumblr media
In the anime, that scene stays basically the same but Gauche actually talks besides saying "...Hey, Grey"
Tumblr media
ups wrong pic He still says "Hey, Grey", then she notices that she is hugging him, lets go of him while apologizing and Gauche asks why she is apologizing ;-; In the English dub instead of "Hey, Grey", I believe he asks if she is okay after she thanks the gods for him to be okay. In the English dub Vanessa also says "Yeah something is up with those to for sure"
After that, they are just framed together basically. To be fair I think they are meant to have something because manga foreshadowing is always important duedhiuehd and yeah at this point there's no reason to put all this moment and Grey's back story with Gauche if they are meant to be just friends or nothing at all. If they end up as friends, I'm okay too however I feel like something is off IUEDIUDH But I also don't see a big dramatic kiss out of nowhere
(Chapter 261-Episode168) Grey asks Owen to take a proper look at Gauche since mf almost fell out of the world. In the anime Gauche reasures Grey that he is okay and healed quite softly which which is SUS AF When Owen reveals that Grey's magic might not be transformation after all, in the anime Gauche asks what kind of magic it is then. quite interested aren't we- SUS But I won't overlook that I mean mf just almost died and well it's normal to have curiosity at least IOUDEOIDJ but in the anime his shock is also framed with Grey's so
Tumblr media
SUS
Now let's hold back the canon events for a bit and let's go to the movie
At Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King There aren't at all many scenes, and it makes sense since when they appear the focus is the black bulls in general, fighting or been there.
However, one of the scenes is as they watch Yuno in the arena, Vanessa comments to Gauche on how everyone wants to see Yuno. To which he responds with " I only want to see my dearest sister Marie", Grey looks at him with a kinda sad expression, but I won't get much into detail since she looked already kind of sad before looking at him. She comments "as expected from Gauche-kun" and keeps staring as he chuckles.
The other scene is what made my heart go "AAAAAAA" (you probably know what I'm talking about) Despite the movie not being canon, I think it's still a great scene that shows that something is sus between them JQKQKWOW When the Black Bulls are fighting Edward Avalaché, there's the scene where Finral and Gauche "teleport" Gordon and Grey out of the danger. Finral transports Gordon alone ("alone" as meaning he just caught him in a portal, he didn't transported himself to go get him), Gordon even falls on the floor poor guy. He drops him like shit, kidding Gordon just falls wuwiaka, but I want to point out the opposite moods. Then Gauche, mf appears with Grey in his arms and she thanks him stuttering. Like that was a sight to see KQKQKQKW
Tumblr media
Sure, It's just nice of him to be that caring, but he didn't need to be THAT caring if you know… something wasn't sus. Probably if he didn't have that extra care towards her, he would have just dropped her beside him or something like that, not hold her in that dramatic way I mean kwoqowow
Well on the movie we got happiness, on the manga we got pain (the real ones know the feeling) JAKWKWKW Not complaining If I thought the movie scene was a dramatically great sight, the manga events were a theatrically tragic beautiful sight ;-;
Let's head back to the canon events again with the SPADE KINGDOM RAID ARC
(Chapter 312) THE BLACK BULLS CRASH THE RAID PARTY we have just brief scenes of them. I saw some people mad at Gauche telling Grey to shut up after her saving him. Bros, i swear I would curse the shit out of my wife if she was being embarassed in the middle of a war. To be honest he was quite light by saying "Shut up for now…" Like what the hell would he say "yo love chill out, here hold my hand" God no-
Tumblr media
We have another Grey Mirror Brigade feels like the 20th IUEIUhd After that they are pretty much framed together or near each other like they didn't left each others side anymore (not talking just about this arc because I do know it's only a few scenes of them together, but like since the Agrippa family thing they pretty much have been usually together)
well let's go to the Final and Current arc
(Chapter 337)(Let's include chapter 361 to keep in mind they are still side to side) They learn about Asta's "death" and well they are there existing but props to the fits I liked them.
Tumblr media
(Chapter 364-365 ;-;) Before the pain, here's tiny them preparing for the 100th Grey Mirror Brigade
Tumblr media
well, then DAMNatio.. YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID
Tumblr media
missing the movie;-;
So Gauche jumps to take the hit for Grey, he fails. We have these really theatrical death panels, that well is the sus confirmation that yup something is meant to happen between them. It's way too theatrical at this point what Romeo and Juliet type of shit am I witnessing- I don't know what happened in the timeskip but yeah 1 year and 3 months brings people together (not saying they are together as a couple oficially of course) Also I wonder what Gauche might have felt after noticing he failed to protect Grey.
Tumblr media
(Chapter 367) They are revived together which is another fair detail to have in count and here they are
Tumblr media
I've seen some people commenting that they might not be getting matching scars but it would be iconic to be fair Therefore we just need to wait for the rest now
WELL WE'VE REACHED THE END (for now) OF THE GREYCHE GUIDE DUYEGDIG (until chapter 368 format)
I might cover the new updates in the future WELL I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS MASSIVE GUIDE DIOEODEJIOED thx <3

“A letter for you, my lady.”
The servant outside of your room curtsies in front of you, delivering the unfamiliar envelope to you with slight flourish. Tilting your head, you try to visually identify anything that could indicate who would send you a letter with ink smudges pressed into its sides and corners.
This clearly is not mail from any of your noble friends, the penmanship of whoever wrote your name says that much. Despite your confusion, you giggle and pluck the envelope, turning it between your fingers and squinting at the seal you don’t quite recognize. In fact, it looks homemade.
Carved into possibly the flat face of a piece of wood, uneven at the edges. Nothing like your own seal that boasts a heavy oak handle and a glass etching of your Silva family crest on the underside. It boasts a messy A with a shape you can’t quite decipher from a cross or a star next to it.
It couldn’t be.
Your fingers twitch slightly as you nudge your thumbnail beneath the seal to open the envelope, carefully sliding the paper inside out, more smudges leading your eyes to the words.
Mimi,
Writing letters is weird. I usually only write to the village but wanted to write to you today. How are your studies with Owen? Captain Yami keeps calling him a quack and I don’t really know what that means. He isn’t a duck so it never makes sense.
Anyway, Charmy learned a new recipe she wants to show you and Luck and Magna broke a window two days ago. Noelle seems sad when you aren’t here. Everyone kind of does, honestly.
I hope you’ll return home from the capital soon. I sleep better when I know you are safe and I know you are safe when you are here.
Asta
You press the envelope to your lips to hide your smile, curtsying back at the servant who brought you the letter to dismiss them wordlessly. Entering your room, you gently shut the door and scan over the letter again, squinting at the unbelievably messy handwriting.
He sent you a letter. He has been thinking of you as often as you've been thinking of him.
Asta may be a new feature in your life but the steady beat of your heart in time with the pounding wings of the butterflies in your stomach play a beat that convinces you he may be around for a long time to come.
i've reread this so many many times because i can feel the softness of his voice so clearly, he's so darling, he's so perfect wahhhh

☆ With You.
Magna × fem!reader
[ Inspiration - Happiness is a Butterfly ] (argument)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“ God damnit, what is wrong with you?!” Michonne’s voice boomed throughout Gabriel's Church, the one place you could truly be alone with the core group. “ Do you even know how dangerous this is for not only you, but for all of us?! You are putting us all in jeopardy!” The tension in the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife. She doesn't know. She just doesn't get it. The urge to snap back at her and continue the cycle of screaming is intense, by a miracle you keep your composure some - what intact and mutter out with a shaky breath, “Michonne, just because you’re so miserable gives you no right to speak on my happiness. What has she even done to this group? Magna has done nothing to us besides keeping her weapons on her and giving you some fucking attitude.”
Your words stung. The silence of the room said all you need to know, nobody said anything for a good minute before Michonne sighs “Look. For all we know, Magna could be a serial killer or just a lunatic in general. You can’t risk yourself like that.” You run your hands through your hair “ If she's a serial killer, then what's the worst that could happen to a girl who’s already hurt? I’m already hurt goddamnit. And if she’s just as bad as you say, then I guess I'm cursed, but looking into her eyes, I think she's already hurt.” You pause, trying to muster up something to say, but you just can’t. You can’t be around the group right now. You need Magna.
Michonne starts to say something, but you cut her off quickly “I appreciate you, Michonne. i really do, but i can not be in here with you right now. I'm done with this conversation.” You dart across the room, grabbing your shit from the table Gabriel leaves his bibles on for study group and just, leave. You don’t look back. You don't wait for a response. You just go. …
The walk to Magna’s was quiet and long. In your head, it felt like the cringey movies you would watch before the outbreak happened. Most of the ten minutes you were walking you were cursing the core group for doubting your skills in judgment, but the rest was just how you needed to feel Magnas arms wrapped around you tight, the smell of cedar coming off of her flannel, the way you can hear the smile in the way she speaks, you needed her. Now more than ever. You didn’t even make it fully to her house before you heard the comforting voice you’ve grown to love, as everyone else has grown to hate. “Whatcha doing out so late, hm?” Her lanky arms sneaking around your waist. You turn around swiftly and make eye contact with the tall ginger in front of you “Magna!” Your eyes grow wide and wrap your arms around her neck. “I missed you.'' You whisper as you bury your face into the crook of her neck. Blocking everything out except the sweet sound of her laughter and the feeling of her hands making her way up your back into your hair.
“You wanna tell me what’s wrong?” You pick up your head from her neck, avoiding eye contact, “Just the core group..” She sighs and pulls away “You seem cold, stay still for me, ‘kay?” She slowly takes off her soft flannel, wrapping it around your shoulders. “Let me take you home, we can talk about this when we get home, yeah?” smiling and nodding at the masterpiece of a woman who has you wrapped around her spindly fingers.
“yeah.. Let's go home.”
☆ NOTE ! This is like kinda a filler because I have something totally big coming up in the next few days / weeks, *cough* a series *cough cough*, so sit tight and I'll get the first few parts out asap! <3

13 January 1967
Tumblr media
The US record album for the Yellow Submarine film is released, without the words "Nothing is Real" on the cover but with the following nearly unreadable bio of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the back:
Somewhere during the hours between the years 700 and 750 (anno Domini), a brother from the Northumbrian monastery wrote a youthful thane of King Hygelac (King of the Geats) named Beowulf… a hero. A super-hero who arrived from far by sea to rescue Heorot… a feasting hall built by a benevolent old king called Hrothgar… a feasting hall that exuded the pleasures of food and music and perpetual celebration and all that was raison d’être… a feasting hall which for years had been ravaged by the villainy of an evil spirit named Grendel. Having already proven his metal as a good-guy combatant par excellence (by the conquering of a picturesque sea monster and a victory over Breca in a swimming match), Beowulf goes forth to rid the once beautiful Northumbrian landscape of destructive Grendel… a demon who indeed perishes when his arm is delicately dislodged from its socket by Mr. Wulf. The kingdom is saved (albeit after disposing of Grendel’s mother who took unkindly to the action) and Heorot restored with the pleasures of food and music and perpetual celebration and colorful beauty… a restoration which permits bigger and better glorias to be raised to the local gods addressed as Wryds.
Some 465 years later (1215), an English king named King John signed a Magna Carta at a roost called Runnymede… an act of prodded royalty which liberated barons and bumpkins to roust with a greater degree of carefreedom.
Some 561 years later than that (1776), a Virginia gent named Jefferson quilled a Declaration of Independence in, of all places, Philadelphia and shipped it to a king called King George which hypothetically rid a small group of new-world colonies from crimson-flocked enforcers from a faraway land… taxations without representations vanished and the colonies flourished freely under a hero named after the colonies’ capital, Washington. (Ruffled feathers on both sides of the sea have since been plucked.)
And in 1968 – some 1,218 years anno Beo (A.B); 753 years anno Magna (A.M.); 192 years anno Declaration (A.D.) – bad people (Blue Meanies) still force their wills on good people (Pepperlanders) and demolish the human and physical landscape of beautiful pleasure domes (Pepperland). And Agnes – the inquisitive baby sitter next door in California, United States of America – will be pleased to know that there are still heros around of the calibres of Messrs. Wulf, John and Jefferson… there’s John, Paul, George and Ringo and their attending Lonely Hearts Club Band who sail from one place (Liverpool) at the invitation of a benevolent but old leader of another place (the Lord Mayor of Pepperland) to rescue the pleasures of food and music and perpetual celebration and colorful beauty from the villainous hands of less-than-beautiful people (Blue Meanies) who act under the supreme guidance of the most evil spirit (Chief Blue Meanie). The Beatles come by sea (through the Seas of Monsters, Time, Music, Science, Consumer Products, Nowhere, Green Phrenology and Holes – each puddle supporting a lively cast of characters) in a YELLOW SUBMARINE captained by Old Fred (also leader of Sgt. PLHCB) where they prove their heroic metal by outwitting a sea monster (Vacuum Man) and out-swimming competition (School of Whales) even before they reach the shores of the besieged undersea kingdom of Pepperland. Once arrived at target P., they triumph over the Chief Blue Meanie’s primary evil-tempered henchmen (par exemple: the lanky Apple Bonker who assaults his prey with Baldwin apples; the corpulent Hidden Persuader with a penchant for underhanded inscrupulence; the abdominal Snapping Turtle Turk who chomps at the slightest bit; the belligerent Butterfly Stompers who perform tasks that any evil butterfly stompers worth their soul would perform with supreme acuity). The good guys win… the hero-Beatles triumph once again and restore the pleasures of color and music and all that’s beautiful… a restoration which permits bigger and better glorias to be sung to the reigning god of Pepperland addressed as Love.

So I made this some time after I made that one art of Ackar and Mata Nui post here
Ofc I had to make an art of my favorite Glatorian the second Glatorian of Tajun Kiina!
I decided to do one of my signature sleeping art I do with my headcanons for Kiina (ie, the necklace, tattoos, hair especially the braids and biomechanical parts)
I wanted to have her tattoos symbolize in a way in things that are important to her, the green butterfly for her closest friend Gresh, the Bara Magna symbol for her loyalty to her Glatorian role, the infinity symbol is not much thought of honestly, the one on her shoulder is actually something I don't even know (I tried to get closer looks but I still don't know) and ofc the Three Virtues because after seeing it in the hidden caverns she feels it's super important in a way she gets it tattooed on her)
Her biomechanical parts I had an idea of them that their added to boost certain things of a person but also have their downsides, Kiina had her surgically given to her a few days after being taken under the care of her grandparents as a kid and she's grown used to the sudden shift of metal and flesh from them, her hands help her have stronger grips and harder punches, her knees and thighs for better speed, her elbows for better arm throws and her abdomen area for better stamina but unfortunately due to the placement it gives her fertility issues
Her necklace is a reference straight from the 1997 Fox film Anastasia of Anastasia/Anya's necklace and music box from her grandmother Marie, Kiina's comes from her parents and the music box as a minutes figurines of the Lord of Water inside it, unfortunately for a good chunk of time the music box is still in her old village until she and Gresh finally go to get it
As for Kiina's hair, the braids are for when she wins a Glatorian battle for Tajun, an extra one is in the midst from Gresh from a half victory he deems for Kiina for almost beating a Skrall in the arena (before they cheated and broke her ribs by firing a Thornoraxx at her which bit her chest, which was how her biomechanical upgrades were discovered), the blue highlights are completely natural though and it's still unknown where they come from (but for me I'm still trying to decide for it)

What is your opinion about the team of Sol, Magna and Kirsch during the Royal Knight Tournament?
Tumblr media
———
Hiya anon!
Hmm…I don’t really have any thoughts on it, but i’ll try my best! My memory on their battle is very fuzzy so I’m going based on what memory of it I have 😆!
I think it was funny that you have Kirsch who is a social butterfly and likes to show off being paired up with someone like Sol and Magna who are more serious and like to show off in different ways is very interesting but also works very well!
Despite their bickering and disagreeing (mainly between Sol and Magna) they were able to work well together and were able to show off their magics and spells!
Overall I thought it was fun and interesting seeing the characters interact and work together, but otherwise I don’t have any thoughts about it 😆!

PERSONALITY.
hardworking nurturing perfectionist self-critical emotional nitpicky
HER-STORY.
tw: mention of death and depression — Ysla grew up with her parents and eight brothers, four older and four younger, which made her the quintessential middle child. Despite the chaos of a large family, she maintained a close-knit bond with them, although at times they could be overwhelming. — As the only girl among her siblings, Ysla was both protected and challenged by her brothers. They were fiercely protective of her, always looking out for her well-being and making sure she felt safe and loved.  — However, being the only girl also meant that Ysla had to keep up with their antics and rough-and-tumble play. Ysla's bond with her brothers was unbreakable, shaped by a lifetime of shared experiences and unwavering support. — From a young age, Ysla knew she wanted to teach, a career path she pursued with unwavering determination. Graduating as the magna cum laude with a degree in education, she immediately became a preschool teacher, fulfilling her lifelong dream. — It was during her time as a teacher that Ysla developed a deep bond with Mirabel, one of her students. Mirabel often stayed late at school under Ysla's care due to her mother's demanding work schedule. Over time, Ysla not only became a trusted caregiver for Mirabel but also formed a close friendship with her mother, who appreciated Ysla's kindness and dedication. — Tragically, a hit and run accident took the lives of Mirabel and her mother, leaving Ysla and her family shattered. The mother and daughter were on the way to Ysla’s house when tragedy struck. The loss of her beloved student and friend plunged Ysla into a state of deep depression, and she struggled to cope with the void left by their absence. — It was during this dark period that Ysla stumbled upon a video of Mirabel taken by her mother expressing their desire to travel the world with her. Touched by their unfulfilled dream and inspired by their memory, Ysla made a life-changing decision.  — In honor of Mirabel's wish and as a tribute to her enduring bond with both mother and daughter, Ysla embarked on a journey to fulfill their dream, starting her own YouTube channel, Wander With Ysla, to document her global adventures. — At first, her family was hesitant about her traveling so far from home. However, when they saw how much joy it brought her, they eventually came around and wholeheartedly supported her decision. Ysla’s been in the region for about 3 weeks now and is always seen with her vlogging camera.

HEADCANONS.
— wears a butterfly necklace since it's mirabels's favorite (her comfort necklace tbh) — collects butterfly souvenirs from every place she’s visited and keeps them in a box dedicated for Mirabel — adores children and would want to have some of her own — has a knack for finding hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path destinations — is a food enthusiast and loves trying local dishes to learn more about a place and their culture — loves karaoke and would treat it like her own concert — a hopeless romantic at heart who believes in soulmates and true love — biggest travel inspiration is dua lipa — always wears a swimsuit beneath her clothes
WANTED CONNECTIONS/PLOTS.
coconut pals — people ysla would generally have a good time with. they definitely need to be open to being dragged to the nearest karaoke a reason to stay — ysla is on the constant move, maybe this person is the reason why she’ll finally choose to stay more tbd! dm’s are always open to plot
