Atreus’ Manimani Full Story (All Hand-drawn Frames)

Since many people missed the Atreus’ Manimani animation video, I decide to post all the hand-drawn frames in pictures .

(It’s so late that I finally realize ppl on tumblr prefer images more than videos!)

When I was drawing, I came up with this idea of demonstrating Atreus’ growth by both his looks and giant prophecy in the background. I also added a bunch of details related to GOW storyline🌟

These screenshots can definitely tell a story, but I still recommend watching the video. There are so much more context and emotional outburst, that can’t be told through images. And Manimani is simply a great song!

So plz check out the video if you’re interested in the complete version ~ You can see it on my homepage!🙌

[adhdtsukasa]

totally not what i intended to post today but also whatever, we ball. pinocchiop is my favorite vocap and i'm very autistic about both him and wxs, so, to honor the song campaign clues that we got today, allow me to present to you the reincarnation apple wxs cover line distribution i did some time ago — and why, in my humble opinion, it fits wxs much more than it fits niigo,

(the lyrics where the color changes each word are where the characters both sing at the same time but my notes app doesn't have the option to do a gradient)

i'm in no way expecting it to be an official line distribution because i did it based on my personal interpretation of the lyrics — and i feel like dedicating almost a whole big part of the song to each member might mess up with the game cut, but i also really would like to see them have solos of those parts — but they're here to help me explain my point better my point. so!

what i like about wandasho covers is that they are performers — and it should give them more creative liberty when it comes to their covers. that's why the reincarnation in this song could be simply treated as them getting into roles, reliving countless lives as actors. even though the accuracy of the lines sung is always nicely welcomed, the covers don't have to always be 100% fitting. and that's fine. especially in wxs' case, because that is a yet another story that they want to tell us.

people often say that the storyline fits niigo but i... don't see it at all? i mean, yeah, ena as the artist and kanade as the savior, that much is obvious (and i guess you could also say that mizuki as a revolutionary, but that is kind of a reach?). but what about the part describing the inventor that matches rui's backstory so well? what if you put main story tsukasa in the artist's place and draw the similiarities? what if you think about emu as the savior, comparing the savior's unconditional love to her wanting to save wonder stage and make everyone smile? the only match that doesn't fit quite well is nene and the revolutionary, but you can't have anything i guess. and then the adventurer part, which is a call back to the our happy ending set (i set out in search of an ideal — emu deciding to go with wxs in order to expand her knowledge and horizons) (and then you know, the end has come with the reincarnation apple)... and then lines like i'm not smart enough and i don't have a great cause could resonate with how people viewed emu and rui in the past.

"oh but isn't the start of the song a bit too dark and depressing for it to be a wxs cover?" kami no manimani starts in a similiar way and yet it still is a wxs cover.

and, putting lyrics aside, it just doesn't feel like a niigo song from the instrumental alone. i'm not a music expert so i don't have strong arguments for it, but for me it sounds absolutely like a wxs song. it even reminds me of sekahaji in a way.

does that mean you're in the wrong for wanting niigo to cover it? nope! i just simply want to explain why it fits. and i don't want people to complain that it doesn't make sense for it to end up as a wxs cover. because i will cry.

tldr: reincarnation as a metaphore for acting save me

Harvard & Carl Friendship Ramble (+ Carl's VA)

You know how Harvard hates powerful and corrupt people? Well, Carl is from a rich family (he's literally called 'young master' in the JP web), but is his family also corrupt?

Since he's basically the only known friend of Harvard from before the game.

Harvard looks like the sort who would hate people who climbed up with power not effort (*cough* Carl getting admitted in a police college? *cough*). I can absolutely imagine Harvard just taking it out on Carl during their early days, almost to the point of bullying him. Imagine Harvard's early college days, maybe he wasn't as mellow as he is now after meeting Carl (& maybe he was shorter than Carl back then). Maybe he was seething with rage and hatred towards anyone who even fits the bill a little.

I'm really interested in the Oxford family & hopes they actually comes out in the game and not just mentioned.

Carl wasn't even given a physical type attack on the demo, even if he's a negotiator he should be able to fight a bit (his physical stats is literally the same as the small Manimani). Just think about him running laps trying to survive in police college. There could even be guys who would take advantage of his rich background (now, either Harvard is gonna stop them, or join them. Because I can totally see both happening. Maybe join them first (or even lead them), then once he gets closer to Carl he starts to realize the gentle soul Carl is and starts to instead help him out).

Ngl, Harvard exudes that bully energy 🥲. I also always have thought that Harvard seems sadistic. Like he LIKES hurting criminals and even flat-out tells he doesn't like the peaceful way out (negotiating with them, it's on the 2023 VISION trailer). He looks like the type that would cause trouble for no particular reason and just because he likes seeing others troubled (Carl who would have to clean up after him because of his responsible nature).

Also, I thought of this during the Playable Trailer last year, but Carl seemed like the responsible and gentle older brother type, especially when explaining the gameplay procedure during the trailer (Level5 seems to really like using Kaji Yuki in all of their works, but isn't he expensive tho? Since it's Kaji Yuki. Ngl, I really think that this time around, with how Carl is the 2nd protag, Carl's VA Kaji Yuki is most definitely the highest billed one. Since it's Kaji Yuki, google him if you don't know, mate's SUPER top class VA. Harvard's maybe 2nd highest billed since he's the 1st protag, but KAJI YUKI for 2nd protag like damn! Usually Level5 just uses him for supporting charas, major or minor, but never 2nd protag or even 1st protag (maybe too pricey)). Reminds me of Tsurugi and his wheelchair-bound big bro in Ina11 GO.

Talking about how Harvard may be shorter in height than Carl during their early days (since Carl is early adult, while Harvard late teenager still growing), Carl looks like he'd be so proud when he realizes Harvard had surpassed him in height. Maybe Harvard could grow even more in the case he finally lets go of his trauma (it'd be really symbolic).

Also talking about that, Harvard looks like he's the type that would disregard everything other than revenge (that unhealthy single-minded focus), so not eating, properly taking care of himself, etc. In contrast, Carl seems to be the type that REALLY cares about these stuff, so maybe Carl does cook for and takes care of Harvard (Carl looks so domestic tbh, like he could really fit in with an apron despite having others take care of him his whole life (perks of being a young master)).

Food for thoughts: how did Harvard & Carl become friends? Like are they actually friends, or is Harvard just looking to use Carl for his family background (pretty dark, but it's supposed to be a 18+ rated game).

Also, Harvard is definitely the type that would resort to violence when angry + swearing profusely, and Carl the type that would scream out crying but do no violence.

Since Carl is the best friend/partner chara, usually there's only 3 road for him:

Betray MC (sometimes they die/MC forgives them. But it's Harvard so...).

Don't betray MC & dies for him instead.

Don't betray MC & don't die, but becomes outshined by other more interesting charas (AKA becomes a supporting chara).

End note: Did you guys realize that one of the building in Broadstone is called "CARROLLTTE"? Why the double all? 😂 It's also pretty hard to write & spell. 😂 Funny building name.

[habitual-truant]

i love vocaloid producers who have like 2 hit songs and are only known for those and not anything else

like ezfg and r-906 are so good but like

hurting for a very hurtful pain is the only ezfg song people really know, and manimani and the hole and psi MAYBE are the only r-906 songs people know but their other music is so great

and also sedo sounder but idk any songs that are popular cuz their most popular video doesnt have more than like 700k views and they get mainly like 30-40k on their other songs

[decapolicemoment]

Sorry I keep doing asks, I'm starving for content. But what do u think about a possible Carl jealously arc? Like I know his whole thing is him being kind and empathetic, but I think it would be interesting if he was kinda a jealous bitch.

Also like the idea of him being passive aggressive sometimes. Like he tries to be as understanding as possible, but if u piss him off too much, he'll mumble something rude about u under his breath.

dw i like getting asks

i feel like he would be the most jealous of harvard, since they’re close and went to college together. he was prob in his shadow a lot during that time, and although harvard was never rude about it, carl still is jealous and occasionally wished that harvard would mess up or fail so that he could get the praise for once and be acknowledged. it made his crush a lot more complicated since he did want him to succeed and do well, but also wished that harvard wasn’t as “perfect” as he seemed

he would also be jealous of manimani, since they seem to have similar roles on their team. she’s a prodigy as well, and i feel like that would make him feel bad (kinda like seeing kids younger than you in articles do big things and wondering why you weren’t like that). he definitely mumbles stuff to himself or finds himself glaring at moments, but he doesn’t want to come off as rude and tries to keep it to himself.

despite having a high communication, he is very passive aggressive, usually on accident. he would roll his eyes or mock you under his breath if he was annoyed, but he would try to keep up a happy front to not cause trouble. they don’t really call him out on it until his jealousy becomes a problem with the team (him making remarks out loud, being more reckless to prove himself, etc), and they remind him of his worth to the team.

How cute are you, Harvard?

A Decapolice fanfic

Plot: After a virus hits the simulator, the team is knocked out. When Harvard wakes up, he notices something is horribly wrong.

When Harvard woke up from…….whatever that was, he notice two things.

1. They were still in Decasim and in the mall at Central Broadstone.

2. He was a cat now.

“Wait, WHAT?!” He screamed. He looked down at his hands. And yeah, these weren’t his hands.

His hands weren’t his natural skin color and were now a bright and happy yellow. He then took a look at one of the mall’s windows and saw his reflection. He was now a cat with multicolored fur, with splashes of yellow, purple, and blue and that were separated with a few yellow stitches. The only thing that wasn’t changed was his red long trenchcoat that he got a few weeks earlier before he was assigned to the Special Investigations Unit.

THIS WASN’T HIS BODY.

“What- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! WHO DID THIS CRAP?! IS EVERYBODY OKAY?!!”

He looked around at his crew who were also knocked out and unsurprisingly not human as well.

“I need to wake them up but…….Carl!”

He heard some murmurs from Carl Oxford who was one of his teammates. Harvard realized that he would take much longer to wake up so he decided to start with him first.

“Carl, wake up!” He yelled.

“…….urm…..please……not now…….need another wink…….”

“Shit, he’s stupidly slow at this! Better shake him to get him to wake up from his dumb dream!”

Harvard moved his body up and got a good look and the new Carl.

While he still has his green jacket and what looked his purple tie stuck to his skin, his body was brown, he was smaller now, and had little bear ears on his head.

So he was officially a stuffed teddy bear.

“Damnit, Carl! Move!!!” yelled Harvard. He shakes his body around, but since they could still get hurt in Decasim he tried to not to do it too hard.

“Carl, wake up! Something happened to everybody! Damnit, please wake up!”

But, only mumbles of “……..stop yelling……please shut up……..” came out of Carl’s mouth.

While he was starting to get pissed off with Carl’s sleepiness, he tried to remain calm. “It’s only the bastard who caused it at fault. Possibly they think this is a hilarious joke.” He said with a sarcastic mood.

Just when Harvard was about to get out the simulator to shake Carl out his nap, Carl began to opened up his eyes.

“Freaking finally.” He groaned.

Carl’s vision was blurry and his head was hazy from something so it hurt like hell. He couldn’t see what that….. thing was in front, but it sound like Harvard.

“What-what is going on here? H-Harvard, i-is that you?”

Carl got up and looked around in worry. There were still 3 people near them but they weren’t there teammates.

There was a polar bear with Zhang’s clothing, a little bunny that had Manimani’s clothing.

And the final one was a huge whistle that

“What happened to everybody? Did it had to do with the odd glitch the system

Carl was breathing heavily and fell down softly. He finally can see clearly

“OH MY GOODNESS, HARVARD! YOU LOOK SO-so ADORABLE!

“Huh, what?”

Carl began to move around, checking out his body like a children inspecting his new toy his parents got.

“Your colors! Your paws! And those big old ears! Awwwww, you’re so cute!”

Harvard felt surprised at Carl’s reaction. While Carl did had his emotional and loud reactions to the crazy shit he sometimes encounter, he never seen him like THIS.

“Carl, listen to yourself!” Harvard, while liked getting complimented (especially by cute ladies), he didn’t liked being cute. “You been knocked out

“Well look at yourself, Harvey! You look like a children’s toy!

As Harvard and Carl continue arguing, the other members began to wake up.

“Ugh…….., are we still in Decasim?” That was from Zhang who was now a polar club.

“I think so. But what is even the time?” Manimani was awake now but was a little bunny.

“Yep, still in Decasim!” Mikey called out and was now a cartoon sports whistle with a human body.

Harvard and Carl looked around to see what they

“Wow, you guys look…..”

“HARVARD MARKS, DO YOU HEAR ME?!?”

That was from Miase Cambridge.

“Geez, she doesn’t sound too happy

“Miase, me and Carl and the rest of the team are fine, but where are you?”

“I am contacting

“Let’s just finished the case and find the culprit and if there was one, defeat the crime beast.”

“Yes!”

After the crime beast is defeated (again) and the case is closed, everybody left the station. Mikey mentioned if anybody wanted to come for dinner. But nobody wanted to go anywhere but home. As Zhang put it-

“Sorry, Mikey. But after what happened today, I just want sleep into a nice comfortable dream.”

Mikey went silent before making a small “okay”.

After everybody left, Harvard and Carl were the only ones left. It was a few uncomfortable seconds while they were stuck in Harvard’s car before Harvard started the engine. But then he noticed something odd with Carl.

“Carl buddy, why are you blushing like you have a fever?”

Carl looked horrified for a second before saying, “NO! What are you talking about?”

“Hmph. Guess if somebody saw that widdle cutely obsession of yours, you might be embarrassed.” Harvard said with a michevous and sarcastic look.

“Hey, you aren’t the one who looked weird there. Everybody else was freaking out over what happened and with that Crime Beast….. I don’t even know what will happen tomorrow.” Carl said sadly with a tired sigh.

Harvard thought for a moment. “Yeah. Some weird bastard must have put the virus in there as a prank. Guess it must be funny to put game skins into a secret police simulator that is used to solved crimes. What a stupid asshole.”

He then noticed Carl’s worried face. Even since we met in police college, Carl was pretty scared about him and Harvard getting hurt or even killed while on the force and with him getting hurt by that criminal and later the crime beast in Decasim, he was a right to worry.

“Don’t worry about it. Miase will talk to Boston about it and I am sure they’ll figure it out something about it. Plus, if you get hurt, I can fix you up. Plus, i don’t care if you have a love for cuteness

“Yeah! Thanks, Harvard!” That really made his heart glow and mood brighten like the sky when rainy clouds disappeared.

“Now, let’s take you home teddie!” He laughed out loud.

Carl looked surprised and embarrassed before getting a sneaky look and a funny idea.

“So, do you want to go to the doughnut shop?”

NOW Harvard looked horrified instead of him. Like he just saw somebody got shot in the face.

“Heh, heh. Just kidding!”

Harvard sigh. He should know that he DESPISED donuts. Or doughnuts for the people who hated simple words.

“Yeah, don’t said to me again.”

As the two ride off from the station to their apartments, Harvard had some major thoughts in his head.

Who hacked into the simulator and put the virus?

Why would they do this?

What will this strange virus do them and Decasim?

And most importantly……..

Why were they turn into such annoying but adorable plushies?!

Notes: You know? Since we are going a new Level-5 direct this summer, how about another Decapolice one-shot?

If you wondering where this takes place during the game, it takes place after the demo case and during the case that takes place in the mall. Check the first trailer and the March trailer to see it.

I have a little headcanon that Carl had a love for cute or kawaii items like plushies or cats (just like Harvard!) His brothers make fun of him for this during his kid years, so he hide from his best friends to avoid teasing and yes this included Harvard. When Harvard and the gang, they take it pretty well althrough Zhang finds it somewhat annoying. Harvard while at first doesn’t like being called cute, he begins to like more as the game goes on.

The next fanfic that I will write will be a Carlvard focused one.

Sorry if the story looks unfinished. I tried not to make it too long but not too short. But I still had some parts left out due to story length

[red-dyed-sarumane]

Just posted Atreus’ Manimani animated(手描き)on YouTube! Took me a couple of days to draw and edit and I’m glad it worked out 🎉

This video highly focuses on storylines of GOW 4 & GOW Ragnarök, Atreus’ personal growth in the series and his emotion outburst.

Atreus really leant to master himself on his journey and it’s one of the most touching parts throughout the whole story. I try to recreate that feeling with r-906’s song Manimani.

Feel free to check it out and leave a comment! Turning on English subtitles for lyrics is also recommended!😇

(It’s not really ‘animation’ but you get the idea and I couldn’t find the exact word for 手描き XD)

Angel's voice chapter 2 | The angel's past

It's been a few days since Venti and (Y/n)'s interaction, and ever since that day, venti would not stop bothering her. Walking in the hallways? venti is there. Eating lunch? he's there. On the rooftop? he's there. Walking home? he offered to walk her home once but ended up getting bonked in the head by her book.

Don't get her wrong, she enjoys his company, I mean, it's kinda of the first time someone willingly talks to her(apart from her cousin kazuha) she just doesn't like it if he follows her 24/7 saying "PLEASE LET ME HEAR YOU SING!" or "MY FRIENDS WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR VOICE" or "YOUR SINGING IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER HEARD MY ENTIRE LIFE I COULD DIE PEACEFULLY I SWEAR-"

He's an annoying brat(affectionately)

Until she caved in and agreed to sing in front of his friends.

I mean, how could she not? The way he gives her puppy eyes or the face he makes when he pouts, it's hard not to agree.

Like she said he's an annoying brat.

So there she is right now, inside a club room full of (attractive) boys as she hides behind kazuha because he's the only one she can trust in the room so far (apart from venti but he's still an annoying brat. and in her defense, he basically blackmailed her into doing this.)

"So guys, I'd you all to meet my new friend (Y/n)! she's also kazuha's cousin" Venti says as he pulls (Y/n) from behind kazuha.

"uhm..Hello" she said rather awkwardly avoiding their gazes. She didn't know that she'd be singing in front of (attractive) boys since venti never mentioned it(Little shit) So her awkwardness is a lot worse.

"Is she the one you said that has the "voice of an angel"?" Heizou asks venti.

"voice of an angel..?" (Y/n) turns her head to venti with a questioning look.

"what? It's true! her voice is the most enchanting melody I have ever heard! She's like an instrument created by the Gods themselves!"

"Venti..I think you broke her" Xiao points at (Y/n) whose face was right red with steam coming out of her as kazuha tries to snap her back to reality. 

"WAHHHH (Y/N)!!!" venti exclaims taking her away from her cousins arms and shakes her.

"ah- I think you're making it worse.." kazuha mutters.

After (Y/n) was brought back to life, venti was now convincing her to sing.

"PLEASEEEE!!! even just for a little? we're the only ones in the room anyways!" venti asks practically begging (Y/n).

while she's having a mini panic attack. She knows she promised venti she would but it's been years since she sang in front of people. Not to mention that she'll be singing in front of boys.

Kazuha, who knows what she's been through and understands her reason, tries to help. "Heizou, why don't you sing with her?"

"what-"

"Yeah! great idea kazuha!"

"hang on- what's my say in this?!-"

"none!"

and so the rest of the boys were watching (Y/n) in front of Heizou who was forced to sing. (Y/n) was feeling very anxious as she refused to look at anyone in the room only staring the the floor with her hands slightly shaking and her breath getting caught in her throat.

She lifted her head and looked around the room hoping to find Kazuha's comforting smile to help her, but she found herself gazing into Venti's face instead.

He was looking at her with his bright smile and gleaming eyes. His smile was so bright it was rather blinding, but she didn't mind. His eyes gleamed with excitement for her. She would normally get uncomfortable under people's gazes but the way he smiled at her, It was a smile that warmed her heart and it made all her anxiety go away.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down as she focused on the music.

Heizou = Red

(Y/n) = Purple

Both = Blue

The entire room was dead silent only staring at the two in front, which got (Y/n) overthinking 'Why are they quiet?!' 'Did I do something wrong? I must have!' 'Did I say the lyrics wrong and have completely ruined the song?!?!' 'Do they not like my voice?!'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a slow clapping of hands. they all turned their head to see wanderer clapping for them which was unusual for him of course. the entire group looked shocked and amazed by her voice. Kazuha was feeling like a proud dad because he had never heard her sing after that incident so he was happy for her.

"see! I knew you could do it!" venti exclaims and jumps behind (Y/n) 's back both his arms wrapping around her neck as she blushed a bit not quite used to physical contact.

"heh, didn't know you could sing" wanderer says mockingly to heizou.

"Oh shut the fuck up you little-"

"Ahem." Xiao coughs to stop the two from starting a fight.

"the two of you will definitely win the competition," kazuha says to venti and (Y/n) with a smile on his face. At the mention of the competition, both (Y/n) and venti froze. "What competition?" (Y/n) asks venti who was sweating with a nervous look on his face.

The others looked at the two in shock.

"YOU NEVER TOLD HER?!"

"I-i was going to! b-but uhm.." venti stuttered trying to make some kind of excuse.

"He was going to ask if you can sing with him for the upcoming competition," Wanderer says rolling his eyes as he speaks for Venti knowing that he'd take a while to explain it to her so Wanderer beat him to it.

"Y-yeah, that.." venti mutters.

"uhm..venti, are you serious?" (Y/n) asks looking a bit unsettled. "Yeah! we can perform a duet together! I've already written a song that would go perfectly with your voice, kazuha even said so himself that we'd be great and-"

"Venti, hold on" (Y/n) stops Venti from talking her expression looking a bit anxious. "Listen, I'm glad that you liked my voice and that you think I'm good enough to sing with you, it's just that performing isn't my thing.." She mutters

"But we'll be great together, don't you think? I can always help you when rehearsing!" venti said trying to convince her.

"Are you ok with this (Y/n)?" Kazuha asked placing a comforting hand on her shoulder with concern written all over his face.

"I'll...think about it.." She mutters. she grabbed her stuff and left the room without saying anything. The room was dead silent when she left. "Well that was..something.." wanderer mutters not enjoying the tension in the room as Venti lets out a disappointed sigh.

"Venti, can we step outside for a second, I need to talk to you about something," Kazuha says leaving the room and Venti follows shortly after. The two of them arrived at the school rooftop when Venti finally spoke. "Does she not want to sing that bad?" He asks no one in particular leaning on the edge of the rooftop and looking at the view.

"No it's not that, I've known (Y/n) since we were kids, she loves to sing very much, it's her passion, she's even written songs," Kazuha said joining Venti leaning at the edge as well.

"Really? What happened then?" Venti asks turning to his friend with his head tilted.

Kazuha let out a sigh.."Well, it all started 4 years ago.."

"(Y/n) dear, I've signed you up for the talent show in your school, It'll be nice for you to sing." her mother said smiling at (Y/n)

"W-what? But mother, I've never performed for a crowd before! I don't even have time to practice my singing yet!" (Y/n) tried to protest but her mother already made up her mind. "Nonsense dear, I'm sure you'll do lovely, It's just a performance after all, you worry too much" Her mother brushed her off and returned to the kitchen leaving (Y/n) alone with her panicking thoughts.

"Kazuha..I'm scared.." (Y/n) said holding on to Kazuha's sleeves with shaky hands. Kazuha decided to stay on backstage with (Y/n) hoping it would comfort her "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be alright" Kazuha gave her a reassuring smile hoping she'd be alright, though he trying to fight back the urge to just take his dear cousin away from this, He can't help but be worried. Her entire figure shaking from nervousness, Her eyes looked like she was on the verge of tears, and the way she kept on taking big breaths man she was probably having trouble breathing.

She was then called to the stage and with shaky steps, she hesitantly walked in front of the stage and stood in the center.

She felt eyes watching her, she felt so small right now, her parents were watching her, her classmates were snickering at her, the judges were looking at her as if she was useless, and the lights were too bright as she felt blinded by them. The noise around her slowly faded, all she could hear was ringing and loud overlapping voices of people, Her vision started to get blurry as she felt tears fall down her face. She couldn't breathe and her body felt heavy. The last thing she heard was Kazuha's worried voice screaming her name, her classmates' laughter and her parents and judges' disappointed and irritated sighs before everything turned black.

"Ever since that day, she refuses to sing again or even face a microphone.." kazuha muttered sadly. "oh, I didn't know...I didn't mean to push her that hard.." venti says as he regrets those times when he was annoying her. "No, I'm sure she's thankful for you" Kazuha said smiling at Venti who looked confused. "Even though she refuses to sing, It doesn't mean that she hates singing. I would sometimes see her writing songs and practicing them in her room. You helped her find her inner spark, you gave back her song and for that I thank you." Kazuha said finishing his words.

It was true, ever since that accident, Kazuha had never heard her sing, yet he knew that she was still passionate about it, in 4 years, he tried to help her regain her confidence back, in 4 years, he tried to ignite her flame that was snuffed away, yet venti managed to make her sing in just a few days.

"She may not look like it, but she's happy that you asked her to sing with you" kazuha adds looking over at his friend who has a determined look on his face now. "sorry kazuha but there's something I have to do, thanks for telling me though!" he called as he sprinted towards the exit and left.

Kazuha chuckled to himself "Dang, I can't believe he forgot about that day" he muttered looking down at the view in front of him while smiling ever so slightly.

You know what time it is... Carlvard headcanon time!!

I had to do Carlvard next, they're taking over my brain. Living rent free in my mind (ignore the fact it took long to post this I forgor).

They met at college because they were in the same class. Carl was intrigued by Harvard in a sense. One day he saw him in the hallway and started staring unknowingly. Harvard noticed this and called him out. Carl got incredibly flustered, especially with Harvard's intimidating stare. However, as soon as Harvard saw him, he realized Carl wasn't a threat.

They eventually became study mates, going to cafes together and visiting each other's dorms.

They rented an apartment together after college cause Broadstone be expensive as hell (just like NYC irl frfr).

Carl developed feelings first while Harvard developed them later.

Carl calls Harvard "Harvey" as a nickname (only Carl is allowed to call her that, if anyone else does, she will glare at you).

Harvard will call Carl pet names in Spanish and Italian like "bonito" and "bello."

The matching pendants are actually friendship charms Carl bought for them in college! As their relationship develops, it becomes more like wedding rings lmao.

Carl worries about Harvard a lot and is afraid that she'll let her truama consume her.

Harvard also worries about Carl and his lack of self-confidence, he's just bad at expressing it openly.

Surprisingly Harvard likes being the little spoon while cuddling.

Harvard's love language is physical affection (giving) and acts of service (both giving and receiving). Carl's is also physical affection (giving) and words of affirmation (receiving).

Harvard is extremely touch starved while Carl is the most cuddly person ever.

Sometimes Carl will do Harvard's makeup if Harvard feels too tired to do it. He also fixes her hair sometimes.

Harvard's first relationship was with Carl while Carl has dated other people in the past.

When grocery shopping, sometimes Harvard would wordlessly put a six pack of beer into the shopping cart and Carl would have to pay with his ID (for context, the drinking age in America is 21, so Carl can legally drink, but not Harvard lol).

Speaking of alcohol, Harvard would get very touchy when drunk and be a lot more emotionally vulnerable. Carl tries not to get too drunk that often because when he does he gets wired asf and does stupid shit.

Carl would sometimes make Harvard breakfast in bed to practice his culinary skills (when they actually have the time off to sleep in late.)

Carl often comforts Harvard after nightmares. Harvard tried to play it off at first, but Carl wasn't having it cause empath brain sensed something was wrong.

Harvard likes when Carl scratches behind his ear and pets his hair (like a cat!)

They compliment each other's flaws. Harvard reminds Carl to have more confidence while Carl reminds Harvard that it's ok to be vulnerable about your feelings.

They didn't really have a confession per say. Their relationship just kinda slow burned into romantic one.

They didn't really confirm they were dating until after their first kiss.

Carl: "Does this mean we're dating now?"

Harvard: "Carl, I think we've been dating."

Due to Carl's jealousy issues, he would sometimes get a little possessive— NOT TO A TOXIC DEGREE THOUGH!!! If he senses someone trying to flirt with Harvard he'd come by quickly and interrupt join the conversation or subtly grab Harvard by the waist and pull him closer while side-eyeing the other person. Harvard never says anything about it though because he kinda likes it.

Harvard would sometimes jokingly call Carl his "sugar daddy" cause he's rich. Carl hates when he does this (I only now just had this headcanon cause of fanfiction. Thanks fanfiction!!👍)

That's it's for now! Again, sorry this took a while to post, I can't remember shit for the life of me lol. If I remember I might do Zhang or Manimani headcanons next.
