Why Manga Asura does not Work as the final antagonist

Regarding the final bit of the Soul Eater Manga, there is a LOT that does not work.

Crona sacrifice and sealing the moon might sound good on paper, but it doesnt fit the themes of the story. Maka never really managed to hit the final note of her character development that anime Maka did, and at the very end regressed, as she rejected her father out of spite. Kid making peace with the witches was nice, but the manga never really delved into the conflict between shinigami and witches in full and what it truly involved, so the conflict being resolved was sorta half baked.

But one of the things i dont really see brought up that often is how the final villain Kishin Asura does not work. At least not the manga version of him.

He is frankly speaking, a terrible final antagonist for the manga. Not just as an actual character, but also on a thematic level.

Asura as a character all throughouth the story before the heroes encounter him on the moon, has been all about 2 defining aspects about him, two things that has defined his very being.

Overwhelming power, and fear. The Kishin that became THE moster of legend for the Soul Eater Universe, who killed and consumed his own weapon along with two other of Shinigami's Warlords(who may or may not have been great old ones as well) is legendary for his overwhelming power... But also being a massive coward.

Such a coward was he, that he eventually devoured his own weapon, his partner, rather than even risk the possibility that he might turn against him.

On paper, he sounds he is the perfect foil as an antagonist for the Soul Eater protagonist, especially the main character Maka. For a story that is defined by people opening themselves up to others, even despite the pain that might very well ensue from that, to have the villain be one who gave up on everything out of cowardice, and sought ultimate power in hope that it would lead to total safety for him rather than taking a risk on the dangers of life and bonds makes perfect sense.

However, there is a problem.

Namely that while Asura has the overwhelming power down pat, the coward is essentially a complete informed attribute.

While Asura has moments where he is seemingly terrified on the moon, this is not genuine fear. He is simply mocking the protagonists by showing "Fear" and basically saying "oh, how scary" in face of his foes.

It's not genuine fear. There is not a moment on the moon, where Asura is genuinely, honestly afraid of the protagonists.

Hell, not even at the very end, as once again he's being sealed away, does he show a lick of fear at the prospect of once again being sealed away in darkness.

Instead he shouts definatly that fuck you guys, i'll be back!

This complete of lack fear has two massive problems.

The first is simply that he's a BORING character.

Manga Asura is a boring villain. He is every single, bland, overpowered final boss that plagues shonen as a genre, withouth anything that makes him stand out from the mold.

As such seeing his conflict with the heroes is basically them beating up on a brick wall... Only at least most villains in this mold does have the satisfying moment where they do break, while Asura remains undefeated, thus leaving no sense of closure.

He has no charisma, he has nothing interesting to say, and he is not particularily fun to watch.

He is basically the exact opposite of his animated portrayal, who was a giant coward... But also had a surprisingly poigaint amount of things to say, having debates with his father during their final battle where the two beings who fundamentally could not understand bravery, tried to give their own viewpoints of what this bizarre thing could be.

And of course, because anime Asura really was a giant coward, and all his fear was absolutely genuine, when he finally breaks down at the end, it feels satisfying on a story level, because we understand how he ticks, and what has lead up to this point.

But it goes beyond just the fact that Asura is a far more engaging and dynamic character in the anime.

There is also the themes which the story embodies, which are explicitly rejected by the manga version.

Asura Looks down on Humanity, regarding them as Shingami's puppets, and scum.

More speciffically, the real reason he looks down on them is because of their, in his eyes, weakness.

When facing his brother, the only thing he cares about when comparing the two of them is strength.

Because that is the metric by which he lives his life.

He sought out strength with the goal of never having to be afraid again. He wanted to be strong to feel safe, to never have to feel fear, ever again, because in his mind, if he was the strongest, nothing could challenge him.

He rejected all bonds because he was scared of the possibility of being hurt.

In other words he is thematically the opposite of all of Soul Eater's main heroes.

He is the opposite of Kid, as a warning of what the Shinigami could become if he gave in to all his worst aspects.

He is the opposite of Black Star, as a man who sought the absolute top, but threw away everyone and everything that ever mattered to him to get there.

He is the opposite of Crona, who's is able to draw strength from one, single bond with another human being that is defined by love between the two of them, hard and painful though it might be at times.

But the single person who Asura is an opposite to is Maka Albarn, who represents absolutely EVERYTHING that Asura has rejected, and looks down on.

Maka is not a particularily strong warrior as far as Soul Eater's powerlevels is concerned. While far, far above the normal human limit in every physical regard, compared to the likes of endgame Black Star and Kid, she way below them in overall combat capacity.

But that is not why Maka is a great fighter. Maka is strong, not because of her base power being stupidly high, but her ability to bring out the best in everyone around her.

This is encapsulated by her abiltiy to bring out the best performance of every single person on her side through soul syncronization... Something she is only able to do thanks to her partner Soul, and the trial and tribulations she went through to get here, including both falling on her face along the way, as well as rejecting her feelings of inaduquacy when compared to the sheer power gap between her and black star.

And of course, her defining relationship in this series, her bond with Crona, is about doing the exact opposite of what Asura did with his own bonds to his partner and father, and comrades.

Asura killed and absorbed 4 of his own friends, and tried to do the same to his father, because he feared those bonds and the uncertainty they had... He rejected the best things in his life because he could not handle the fact that they were not certain things, that they could in fact go wrong... So he sacrificed them in exchange for the ephemeral safety of power.

By comparison, Maka refused to give up on her relationship with Crona, no matter how much logical sense it might make, and how much the people around her migth tell her it was the better option, because Crona mattered to her. The bond they shared mattered to her. The love she had for Crona was stronger than the fear of being hurt.

This is the reason why Maka is the Hero of this story, while Asura the villain.

In other words, even if Maka and Asura does not have a deep and complex relationship like many heroes and villains do, thematically speaking, they are the exact opposites.

Asura represents everything that Soul Eater sees as bad. Fear of others, cowardice, power for the sake of power, and rejecting an uncertain future.

Maka represents everything Soul Eater sees as good. Love for others, Bravery, seeking power not for the sake of yourself but for those around you, and having the guts to embrace the future, regardless of how uncertain it might be.

It is the reason why the anime final fight, despite some hickups and misteps getting to maka's charge up the hill and the final punch, works.

This was the climax of the story, and in the end, the story rejects Asura's claim of ultimate power being the key to safety from fear.

It brought all of Soul Eater's themes together in one, final sequence where Asura's ideals are broken to pieces in the face of Maka's hope, dreams, and love for everyone she cares about, just as decisively as his face was.

One of the Manga's climax's themes, is that Asura was... Kinda proven right by this ending.

The heroes did not in the end manage to overcome him, thus in it's own way, proving his faith in his own power right.

Rather than ultimately stating that power is ultimately meaningless, ephemeral, and not what actually matters in life, Instead Asura's strenght is allows him to live on to fight another day.

This his quest for power, and the sacrifices he made for it... Was actually kinda worth it in the end. Becasuse he was right. His godlike powers DID keep him safe and alive in the end, with the hope of one day breaking loose and continue his onslaught upon the world strong in his heart.

And that is one big denouncement of ALL of Soul Eater's themes, and it's overall message.

#soul eater #kishin asura #maka albarn #black star #crona gorgon #shinigami sama #meta #meta analyis #themes #broken aesop #fear #power #madness #bravery

i am legally obligated to think of a band AU for every piece of media i enjoy

silly little brain was imagining a Soul Eater band AU (as one who is normal about things often does) and i had a few thoughts and i think i will ramble about it a little bit here to make more thoughts. i think since they'd have such a large group, they kind of swap out/tap in for certain songs so they're rarely all playing at the same time. they all probably play a couple instruments because of this (with a few exceptions) and there's just a fun assortment that they've got going on and i also think that would make some of their songs sound drastically different since it would be like a different combination of people playing. overall, i feel like they're pretty gritty and punk, but they've probably got a wide span between more electronic and maybe even hyperpop adjacent stuff and like "original" punk and rock stuff. i think it'd really depend on who was playing.

some of the instruments are obvious. Soul is legally required to play the keyboard/synth/whatever keys exist, though he probably knows how to play the most instruments out of the group so even though he's mainly piano, he can play everything and he'll add his own little flair to it.

my brain is yelling at me that Tsubaki would play the bass. idek why but it appeared in my thoughts and i think that that's the gospel truth that Tsubaki would play the bass. i feel like she would also play some wildcard instrument like a violin/viola or flute or idk like an oboe and when she breaks that out you know the song is gonna go crazy.

now, i think Black☆Star and Kid are vocals, whether they're singing solo or together and they're probably "on deck" the most, though they probably do back off at certain points. Liz is also a vocalist (i feel in my bones that she'd be like a "talk singer" or like an ashnikko type thing where she's AGGRESSIVE with her singing) but my brain is telling me she's on the guitar a lot and wouldn't be singing most of the time. she uses a lot of cool guitar picks and she likes throwing them out into the audience and people would throw picks back at her to use (and she would use them). when all three of the singers are on at the same time, the balance would be insane and i can't imagine which ranges each of them would cover (Liz is a solid mid-range voice, but i can't decide who would be higher and lower registers between Black☆Star and Kid).

Patty would be Exclusively drums and percussion and random noise maker and she's damn good at it, she probably also does fun count offs for all them when they'd start playing. Crona also plays the drums and i feel like they would also play bass, very different vibe from Patty's drumming but still a banger (lol banger, drums, ha). Patty is more "lots of noise and funky combinations" while Crona is more complicated rhythms during the solely instrumental parts. struggling with Maka b/c i think it's funny that she canonically does not know how to do any sort of music, so i think she'd probably mainly be sound and organization help since there's so many of them. HOWEVER, i feel like she'd also be really good at having one of those soundboards and balancers and all that shit (thinking about those ones w/ the square light up keys and also the ones w/ the sliders and switches and whatnot) so she'd be in the back of the ensemble with all her little boards and buttons and be putting all the effects over their music. she could also maybe sing, but i'm talking backup vocals b/c she probably doesn't want to sing a lot, she likes her little tasks.

they are all probably INSANE on stage. jumping, doing flips, handstands, cartwheels, Black☆Star definitely crowd surfs, they're throwing t-shirts into the crowd ALL THE TIME. i'm imagining a situation where they have specifically placed speakers and boxes on stage some of them can literally be elevated above the others while they're playing or singing. none of them are dressed similarly but somehow it still works and you can obviously tell they're in a band. i think their band legally needs to be called Soul Eaters (or Death Sycthes??? Death Weapons???? something like that)

#soul eater #i should probably make a tag for when i talk #maka albarn #crona #crona gorgon #soul evans #tsubaki nakatsukasa #death the kid #black☆star #blackstar #liz thompson #patty thompson #i haven't had to tag all of them in a post in a while wowowow #anyways if anyone has any thoughts on this please converse with me #i'm probably going to be super normal and think about this and pick songs that i think they would sound like #band au

Cycle

(Soul Eater fanfiction)

Word count: 1 960

Summary: Spirit finds out about Blair giving her own lingerie to Maka as opposed to her favorite book. He decides to straighten things out with Maka. This fic also deals a lot with alcoholism.

Note:

I plan on tackling his relationship with Maka more in depth in future fics. It is fun.

……

The sound of a bottle cap being popped quickly off rung throughout Chupa Cabra’s, a shot of excitement running down Spirit’s spine.

“How did it go when you gave it to her? I bet she loved it, you know how my Maka loves her books,” Spirit smiled a large, bright smile - one filled with pure adoration and love for his precious daughter. He stared expectantly into Blair’s oddly guilty eyes, as she nervously chuckled, pouring them both drinks, and twirling her purple locks between her fingers anxiously.

“Uhh… About that,” Blair trailed off, mouth opening and closing repeatedly as she searched endlessly for a way to put her next confession.

“Oh, no, what happened?” The weapon’s smile faded fast, his expression contorting melodramatically into one of pure worry and almost fear.

“Well.. I sort of spent the money you gave me on some lingerie for myself.. and, well…” Blair guiltily began.

“Blair…?” He tilted his head, eyes filling with rage and annoyance.

“I ended up just giving the underwear to Maka, along with your card,” the cat admitted, her hair surely knotted by now.

“She thinks I gave her skimpy lingerie?!” Spirit shouted, his jaw having gone slack, and his eyes widening to an incredible size.

The flirtatiously fluorescent lights of Chupa Cabra’s only served to illuminate the sunk-in expression on Blair’s face. Her shoulders were slumped, and her right hand gently shook as she held her glass of champagne.

“Uh, yeah, kinda,” she rushed out in a hushed voice, her words slurring together as though she had already begun drinking long ago.

“You didn’t even tell her? What the hell?!” He exclaimed, his arms flailing around wildly. The pair most certainly garnered attention from the rest of the clients and employees, curious eyes observing the situation at the table closest to the door.

“Please keep your voice down, sir,” the polite lady working at the checkout desk scolded the man.

“Yes, sorry, ma’am,” he mumbled bashfully, shame rising to the tips of his ears as though he had been lectured by his parents.

A theatrical sigh shook Blair’s ashamed frame, as she said to Spirit, “I’m sorry, Death Scythe…”

Spirit, too, released a sigh in response, grabbing his glass and chugging it as fast as he possibly could.

“God,” he began, rubbing at his already throbbing temples. “I need to straighten this out, don’t it?”

“Probably,” she took a large sip from her own glass.

……

Spirit stumbled slightly as he trudged in the direction of Maka and Soul’s shared dorm, his cheeks burning brightly.

He couldn’t stand the fact that Maka might seriously believe he’d be so perverted as to send his own daughter lingerie. It physically pained him. He already had an extremely rocky - and practically nonexistent, at times - relationship with his daughter, they didn’t need this to make it worse.

Anxiety formed as a tight ball of chaos in his throat, or bile, rather, as he bent over, convulsing in on himself violently as he gagged. The crippling nervousness combined with all of the alcohol only led to an incredibly unsettled stomach.

As he slowly rose from that awkward position, one hand coming to soothe the pounding in his skull, and one arm wrapping around his pained abdomen, he eyed a young mother and her son looking down on him in pure disgust. He didn’t exactly blame them.

He rubbed his mouth, grimacing at the nasty taste. He was sure he had some sort of fever by now.

There was no way he was going to confront Maka in such a state. He’d have to wait until morning.

He made a right turn instead of a left, stomping about on the cobblestone path. He himself owned a cozy little apartment close by the students’ dormitories.

His vision was mildly blurry as he walked, his stomach churning with fervor once he made it to his door, of which his inebriated brain almost caused him to knock on.

He stuck his hand in his pocket, pulling out and fumbling with his jingling keys.

As soon as the door opened, he tripped inside, shutting the door much too loudly for his liking behind himself.

Spirit audibly groaned as the lights in his living space practically burned out his retinas.

He marched his way into his bedroom, shuffling his suit jacket and tie off. He kicked his shoes off, one making it half way across the room, the other landing right by his clothed foot. He threw himself underneath his covers, making sure to lay on his side. Spirit balled his comforter up and cuddled with it, closing his eyes and trying to ignore the bubbling of not only torturous emotions within him, but also of all kinds of physical agony.

All he could truly be sure of in that moment was the fact that he was most definitely going to wake up to a horrendous nightmare of a hangover in the morning.

……

Spirit began to stir as the light of day flooded in and stabbed him in his head. He whined, cursing existence itself, as he shoved his head into the plush warmth of his pillow.

As Spirit lay miserable underneath his twisted and messy blankets, he begrudgingly recalled the events of the previous night. They came to him in short, humiliating, fuzzy bursts. A shade of red barely lighter than his crimson hair tinted his cheeks and ears as he fought the urge to throw a tantrum.

He threw the covers off of himself, very cautiously rising into a sitting position. He held his head gently in his own hand as his brows furrowed. Not only did he curse existence itself, but he also cursed Blair for her utter selfishness.

“Will I ever get on better terms with Maka?” Spirit thought hopelessly and depressingly to himself. He understood why Maka was so angry with him, but he truly wished she could simply see it from his perspective, as well. If a genie appeared before him right in that instance, the only thing he’d wish for - the only thing that would be on his mind in that moment would be forgiveness from Maka… He would wish for a repaired and functional relationship with the person most dear to him.

His eyes began to burn, his face, too, rising in temperature. It felt as though a mist of heat was smothering his cheeks. A fat and pitiful tear rolled fell gracefully downwards, as his lip quivered in a juvenile manner.

He was truly behaving like a child. Blubbering would surely not do him any good in speaking with Maka about the mishap with the gift.

Still, he couldn’t help himself. More and more droplets fell onto his knees, of which were still covered with the dress pants he was adorning the night before.

This was why Maka did not like him. Sure, she viewed him as a vile womanizer, too, but he was also an avid drinker who often couldn’t get a proper handle on his emotions. Yes, that was surely it. He was behaving as though he was still a kid whom didn’t have a kid himself, with all his drinking and sobbing and partying… Perhaps he’d work on that.

He stood, steadying himself using his nightstand as the room spun. He could feel a thumping in his head and fingers, as he moved toward his bathroom.

The scythe’s stomach felt as though it was being wrung out with each step he took. As a matter of fact, Spirit could feel each step reverberate throughout his entire body, similarly to a hard vibration - perhaps even that of loud music playing at a lively concert.

Spirit lifted the lid of the porcelain toilet, shoving his face nearly in the bowl, as he dry-heaved.

He certainly needed to eat, that should ease the nausea, though he certainly didn’t feel like nibbling on anything.

He stood once more, stumbling over his own feet, as he made his way over to the mirror.

He simply couldn’t help but stop and stare at his disheveled appearance. Maka would slam the door on him if he were to show up at her doorstep looking so… revolting.

Spirit retrieved his hairbrush, combing through the knots with a few groans here and there. He yanked his toothbrush from out of its holder, dousing it in water before putting the needed toothpaste on its bristles, and cleaning his alcohol-stained teeth.

He leaned from left and right, dozing off a bit, and evidently still dizzy and lightheaded, as he tried his hardest to make it through the full two minutes.

……

Spirit sat at his round dining table, taking impressively slow and melodic bites of his toast, chewing just the same.

After finishing his food, he changed his clothes, just as slowly as he ate, into more comfortable, casual clothing. Everyday wear that excluded his usual suit and tie. The suit jacket would’ve felt much too clunky in his current state, anyway. The tie would’ve felt more like a noose than apparel.

He cleaned his appearance up further, rehearsing his future conversation with Maka religiously in his hungover head, taking some much needed painkillers before exiting his apartment.

His empty and lonely apartment.

……

“Who could that be?” Maka asked Soul in response to a knocking at their door, placing her book down onto the coffee table in front of her.

Soul shrugged his shoulders, curiously watching Maka as she opened the door.

As soon as Spirit laid eyes on her, his own eyes lit up. Her hair was actually down for once, resting delicately on her clearly tense shoulders. She, too, adorned casual clothing, as it was only a Saturday morning. Her eyes were filled with the same fiery determination they always were. She was truly adorable.

“Hey, Maka,” Spirit spoke nervously, behaving rather neurotically. He fiddled with the inseams of his pockets as he stared at her bothered face.

“What do you want?” She said with the same look of pure repulsion of which that mother and her son had shot at him as he hurled onto the dark street.

“I just wanted you to know that I didn’t give you that lingerie,” he began, removing his hands from his pockets and holding them up in mock defense.

“Well, who else could it have been, then? You put a handwritten card in the bag, you know,” Maka raised an eyebrow, grimacing at her father, of whom reeked of alcohol.

“It was Blair. I gave her the money to go get whatever book was your favorite, and she ended up buying underwear for herself, and just giving it to you,” Spirit explained, focused intently on piecing the story together coherently.

“Oh, dick move, man, blaming it on Blair… And of course, you don’t know what my favorite book is!”

She did not even give Spirit a chance, resorting to slamming the door in his face.

His head banged with the same energy as the creaky, wooden door. But no headache could compare to the pure heartache he experienced in that moment.

He simply stood there for a moment. Questioning why he even tried in the first place. She always was so quick to blame him, he was always her scapegoat. Perhaps it was because he’d never stop trying to win his daughter back, even if he was met with the cacophonous noise of the slamming of a door.

Whatever the reason had been, Spirit found himself pathetically trudging right back to the same bar Maka often scolded him about frequenting; Chupa Cabra’s.

This was Spirit’s own personal Hell. He was ultimately doomed to repeat the same cycle over and over again, never to obtain what he truly desired. He’d only ever see glimpses of what could’ve been and what could be.

Grim Future AU: a breakdown

because they are all so horribly sad.

Just kidding, sort of. ANYWAY here is a long-awaited rundown of our Grim Future au! You can find the completed fic, titled Terrible Things here :)

Just as a precursor, for this universe we have combined bits of the manga into the anime, the latter of which we are much more familiar with.

The AU starts roughly 10 years after the events of Soul Eater. During these ten years, Liz and Patty, and Maka had passed away in two separate accidents. Sometime in between, Black Star and Tsubaki vanished from Death City, and have not been seen since. Nobody knows why they left or if they are coming back. That left just Kid and Soul in the city, picking up the shards of their life into some shabby semblance of normal. The immortal and the Death Scythe. And Maia, who is the last bit of Maka Soul has left.

As I said, Kid and Soul have managed to build a new sense of normal that works, despite everything. They’re still hurting but at least they can pretend everything’s okay, and focus on making sure Maia is happy. Everything is great until a pair of someones decide to finally come home.

For anyone who wants a deeper look at what goes on in the story instead of/before reading the fic, I’m going to keep on explaining. So, vague spoilers under the cut.

The main plot kicks off when Tsubaki drags convinces Black Star to go back to Death City, seeking their old friends’ help to hunt down a rogue, unusually powerful witch covertly wreaking havoc on the countryside.

The story follows a couple of plots:

Kid, Black Star, Tsubaki, and Soul are all trying to locate and confront the witch, but are repeatedly struck down because, as I said, she is abnormally powerful. She also seems to have a bit of a history with Black Star.

Maia, recently enrolled in the DWMA is getting more and more restless, wanting to follow in Maka’s footsteps to be the best meister in the academy. But there are things about herself that she needs to be careful with. Her story focuses on a balance between her ambition and wellbeing, fighting for her sense of self.

Meanwhile, Black Star and Tsubaki are grappling with the consequences of their past.

While Kid tries to figure out what happened to Black Star, Black Star is trying to get Kid to confront his past and his emotions, since Kid has spent more than 10 years shutting out his humanity, and, with it, the people he loves. There is lasting tension from the last time they fought spoke to each other.

Soul is, above all else, trying to keep Maia safe. Between the witch’s cryptic plans, Black Star’s mentorship, and Maia’s raging ambition, AND the temperamental teenager Wes suddenly dumped on him, he’s got his work cut out for him.

Amelia (the aforementioned temperamental teenager) has mostly just been thrown into the whirlwind of drama in Gallows Manor, but she grows a lot as she befriends Maia and accepts her heritage, finding a family along the way.

I think that’s everything. The point of this blog is to expand on the ideas presented in the fic. We are constantly adding to this AU and have so many ideas and little details that surpass the boundaries of the fic: what happened before Terrible Things? What about after? Where the hell is Crona? What exactly is Azrael? What can Amelia and Maia really do? Plus a growing cast of characters that didn’t make the fic. It’s all just for fun, plus this blog helps us document ideas (as if we don’t have a nearly 200 page doc of stuff).

Feel free to ask questions!

DESIGNER — Soul Eater Evans x femReader Short Fanfic (Chapter One)

I have open writing commissions!!!

A soul eater short fanfic bc I absolutely love them uwu, enjoyyy

WRITING AND TRANSLATING COMMISSIONS

----------------------------------

He hated replacing his summer clothes with his winter ones, specially because those things are just fun when your responsability is going to school, pass exams, go home and hang out with friends while you look cool with them.

The thing is, if you were a student at this academy where, well, you were just responsable of everyones in the world life, you probably wouldn´t have much time to look that cool everytime. Some students would always wear the same clothes, others would wear things that made them look more serious… and some of them would keep wearing that weird looking promotion shirt from that Death City students market.

But Soul loved to be a single peace of art at his own, and everyones, eyes. He would be lying if he said he didn´t planned each and every outfit just to have something that made him tick, something interesting would always be in his clothes just to make him look like him.

He was almost in love with his own fashion sense. And sometimes, in some missions, he tought bad guys were bad just because they commited crimes… one of them, and the worst: was ruining his loved clothes.

In their last unpleasant meeting with a kishin in noth, this idiot had ruined his favorite jacket, and that thing was expensive when he bought it, so now the price was at least twice than the last time he looked for it.

And that made him upset. He liked some clothes from the local market but, in general, they were a bit expensive, even when he divided his money with Maka´s to pay rent.

Soul was completely annoyed the entire trip back home. The kishin even hurted his arm so now, the jacket had blood in it. He was horribly upset for that, because he didn´t had any piece that combined just fine with his clothes, and he was finding this out just now that he was organizing his winter clothes.

Lord Shinigami had his eye on him and his meister, in case of things were going bad, and because the last time he wasn´t looking, they took the wrong soul. So when he saw them, and Lord Shinigami saw Soul that hurted both phisically and in style way, he said something about it.

He mentioned someone that, in that moment, was meaningless, because he was so mad he didn´t want to be a part of that conversation at all.

But now, that name could mean something.

—Maka, do you remember what Lord Shinigami said?

—He´s the principal, he says lots of things all the time. Be more specific— she left her book for a minute.

—When the kishin hurted my arm and ruined my jacket— he showed her his ripped up jacket— Remember? Well, he mentioned someone, but I can´t remember who.

—Oh, to fix it? He was talking about _____ ______.

—From school?

—No, she is from a clothes store. A pretty girl. She dresses like… I don´t know, weird.

—So you think she will fix this?

—Yes. She works everyday so, she doesn´t always have ways to make herself more known, so she fixes clothes too. My dad is dumb and always gives her lots of his clothes to fix.

Soul looked at her, not believing what he was hearing.

—Don´t you hate your dad? Why would you know that?— Maka practically jumped to the coach to end the conversation, that cuestion was a little… unpleasant to her.

—Because she is cool and she tells me stuff, I like her, not him. She is loevly preciseley because she said I don´t look much like my dad,

Soul didn´t asked much, and he just got your contact, happy because someone wanting and waiting to fix his loved jacket.

At the end, he found himself outside of a store that did not appear to be special at all, and that made him suspect a little bit. So he looked at Maka with an ¨are you sure?¨ look.

—Are we in the right place? You said this was an incredibly amazing place.

—Isn´t it?

—We are literally in front of a white brick wall with just a black door. The only thing that catches my eye is that little ¨we´re open¨ sign.

Maka stared at him without any answer, boring about that extremely ignorant answer.

She took his hand and quickly directed him inside the store.

With just one foot into the store, he started to feel a completely different vibe inside him, as a superior force was consuming him and make his soul giggle somehow. There weren´t just colors, but people, and they were the most genuinely impressive he had ever seen.

It was the most wonderful place his eyes have ever seen.

—____!— Maka said loudly, looking for you.

At first, the pianist doubted a little bit about Maka being friends or even know someone as cool as they said you were, and worked in that amazingly stylish place. The short one, would never said it, but she had never saw Soul with such an enchanted stare and absorted face before, with no one, and with nothing.

And he was really in love with everything there. The illumination was unexpectedly nice, having a first floor with more endless rows of clothes made of pure style.

Ah, God.

If he had more money with him at time, no one could ever get him out of there.

ENTP CRONA DUMP

Not going back on my word, just forgot to post a dump of "ENTP Crona" stuff I planed to just post all at once in a year, but after trying to stop doing stuff like that, I just thought I post what I had and be done with it.

, the thing even I don't really find funny, but I think I have to do it to get it out and book end it. A lot of it isn't really funny, some of it may sound a bit edgy or abrasive, but it's just in good fun, still putting it under the "keep reading thing" because of the amount and shittyness of the "content" Enjoy or yeah...sorry

ENTP Crona experiencing a soul rejection, screaming in agony because of not being able to deal with figuring out if "video games are art" or "video games aren't art" is the more contrarian oppinion at the moment

ENTP Crona reading shizophrenia symptoms on google "Wow, he is literally me"

ENTP Crona fleeing into the desert, going down a hole to cry

Ragnarok "Wait, the cow already killed Medusa a year ago, why we doing this bitch shit again?"

ENTP Crona "I posted a deliberately controversial and edgy meme into the group chat again, when they all see it, I wont be able to deal with how angry everyone will be..."

Soul: "You cant just nonstop spam shit on the internet, people will think you don't have a life"

ENTP Crona: "But I kinda don't..."

Soul: "Still writting on every single subject for 10 hours straight must be tiring and exhaustive, take a break"

ENTP Crona: "But I wrote everything in the last 5 minutes

Soul: "Heh, dont like partys either? Guess reading the room can be stressful even for somebody as cool as me sometimes-"

ENTP Crona "No, I can read it just fine, just then choose to say the thing that sets the roof on fire and regret it five seconds later.

ENTP Crona trying to figure out if Maka subscribes to the theory that Holden is a child abuser himself in "The Catcher in the Rye", only if yes, to arguee that not even the creep teacher was one and it is a misreading, and its actually about idk, read it in school so cant even come up with an explantion.

ENTP Crona trying to cheer up a crying Maka, after she got made fun of for liking bad music by Soul

"No, I like Speeding bullet 2 heaven too! Well except the Beavis and Butthead skits, even I am not that contrarian"

ENTP Crona curled up in the corner of the dark dungeon, not able to face the world, cause liking Ringo Star is to mainstream now but changing to hating him is just too painful...

ENTP Crona after everyone gets confronted with their lives just being fiction

"Well actually I prefere the anime ending"

But after mostly everyone agrees

"But, actually the manga works in a certain way afterall-"

ENTP Crona during the anime only scene where Maka and Crona talk about Maka's mom - its the same scene lol, remember those 4th wall breaking snide comments Crona barely managed to not blabber out loud lol

ENTP Crona "Marvel movies were allways bad"

Marie "Oh you aren't dumb and incompetent!"

ENTP Crona "Why did it took me 8 hours to put together the IKEA table?"

Marie "Oh dont be to hard on yourself, screwing in the table legs upside down could happen to anybody!"

Maka confronting Medusa: I'm here to save ENTP Crona and Mary!

Medusa: Nah, they both are still stuck in the maze going in circles

ENTP Crona after a tourist asks for directions in Death City: "I'll be honest, even though I am living here for years now, I myself cant deal finding my home without google maps"

ENTP Crona "I'm the Joker, baby! (Jared Leto version)"

ENTP Crona "-oh so a glorbo, or smol bean, cinamon bun is a charachter like Paulie from the Sopranos!"

ENTP Crona after trying to read "Finnegans Wake" "Damn, thats how high I still have to climb..."

ENTP Crona watching X:RA "Wow, I actually get 90 percent of the wordplay! This show is great!"

MGMT Patty : "Time to pretend..."

*ENTP Crona visualising all the different ways to take out and kill the people around*

Ragnarok "And I thought I was the psychopath! We aren't even eating souls anymore, whats guipi wrong with you?

ENTP "Grocery shopping is boring and I thought about the 3 different storys I'll never write down enough for one hour..."

ENTP Crona "-and that's why the metodology that is used to diagnose diseases by only relying on a checklist of data points that may have many different origin points is flawed

Stein "I am the doctor with 10 years experience, take your antibiotics prescription and get out!"

Stein, litting a cigarete after ENTP Crona goes out after apologising "Damn, the kid may be right, shit..."

ENTP Crona be like "Actually, I think Epstein is still alive"

ENTP Crona "Yeah Myerrs brigs and Horrorscopes are the same... Because they both actually are describing something and aren't completly wrong, if you know you know...

ENTP Crona actually getting a tatoo even though it is a stupid thing to do in general, because thats the only way to remember Maka's birthday. Cause aint nobody remembering more than 4 digits...

ENTP Crona using all experience and time to reflect, to start a dramatic uplifting speech that leads into Maka defeating the Kishin with a punch- Ah wait thats just what happened in the anime again lol

ENTP Crona: "I wore a dress for most of my life, yet that is not as embarassing as riding on an electric scooter"

ENTP Crona "Oh ofcourse I'm to scatterbrained and lazy to actually finish a webcomic, that's why I included an in universe callout by a charachter, so I will stay motivated out of spite and want of being better than those, proving the mean pixels wrong!"

ENTP Crona: -the setting being the aftermath of a nuclear testing site is a brilliant synedoche of our society pre and post world war 2, how the atomic age is nearly unrecognisable, being both so much more advanced that previous incarnations do not even look human in retrospect, while exagerating ourselfs into cartoon versions of ourselfs do to paranoia and stereotypes, shared faster and faster, that we soak up like Sponges, being the perfect worker and consumer in one - in a way thats Rock Bottom, the breakdown of communication, only restored by recognising the humanity of the other, even if they look at us with even more potent disgust than we already do.

Maka: Wait, I thought these iceberg videos were just supposed to list of fun facts and triva about Spongebob

ENTP Crona: What gave you that idea, Maka?

TERF Maka: I STILL hate J K Rowling

EC: "Borat is racist-"

M: "No the joke is that he exposes the prejudices of the common american person-"

EC "against Kazakhstanis"

M: "No no- wait... you are right..."

EC: "If MF Ghost was with the culture, it would have used Phonk instead of Eurobeat"

EC: "Where the fuck is Marioh Judah?"

*EC annoys excalibur into quitting*

EC :"Im like prince, everybody thinks In gay but actually im homophobic-"

EC: "Non-cellular phones actually had their purpose - like if somebody called them, you would either know nobody is home, or the person who answered could either inform you where the one you are calling is if you didnt reach the person or just find them - also the fact it was in the same spot ment nobody lost it and could allways find it when needed and it never ran out of battery, also-"

M: "If you don't like the phonecase I gifted you just say so...

R: "Dude, dont we still use mirrors for comunication"

EC "Think Im constrained by the limitations of canons?"

TRAD Tsubaki "Well they didn't make a sign of the cross in the church, so they kinda deserved being slayn by Ragnarok..."

M "Hey you are looking down, everything ok?

EC "Thanks for caring, but the thing is, to explain it all, all the connections and reasons and evidence would make me just look more weird and whiny, and this all, including the fact that I cant even say why I cant say without being whiny and long winged is part of it...

EC "I used trouble not descending into negative loops of self pity and disgust with myself and the world... But then I just developed a hyperfixation on not-having-hyperfixations"

???? Death: IDK

EC *reading the bible* "It even predicted people obssesing over lolcows with the whole golden calf story, damn...

EC: Rip Kissinger

EC: Slouching? No, I'm just posture-divergent

EC: I do love myself - one has to love even their biggest enemy...

EC in the future:

M: Are you really ready for children?

EC: I accidentally watched a trailer for despicable me 4, and after hearing all the pandering 80s song and repetitive family hinjix humor I just thought "Oh, how cozy would this be to watch with my Kids and Wife!"

So yeah, I CAN deal with it

#ENTP Crona #Crona #Soul Eater #Au #Soul Eater Au #worst thing I ever came up with #this is it #besides iceberg uploads and links #also by the end I abriviate entp crona to ec #includes a few bonus four letter modifiers for other charachters....

Artist/ Fic Writer Interview

I was tagged by the magnificent darling Chrissy @you-are-so-much-better-than-that who came up with the artist questions, the sensational sweetheart Harvey @mikhailoisbaby & honeypie Willow @ian-galagher thank youuu 🥰

1. Do you post on Ao3? If so, how many works do you have on AO3? If not, where do you post?

I don't post my art on ao3 but on tumblr 😊

2. What is your total art count?

17 🎨

3. What are your top 5 pieces by likes/kudos?

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do respond by liking them bc most comments are in the tags & idk should i respond in the comments? lol

5. What is your current fandom, and what was the first fandom you drew for?

Current fandom: Gallavich & First fandom i drew for & shared my art is Gallavich but probably first fandom was maybe soul eater

6. Have you ever received hate on any art?

Not hate but a complaint on my gallacrafts for theme 11 I'm fucking gay. I got an anon asking why I made the lesbian flag & put the phrase I'm fucking gay & i that should have just done lesbian although I had actually made both but it was on the part 2 bc i had a limit of 10 pictures.

7. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t drawn for yet but want to?

Maybe Spirk or Soul x Maka from Soul Eater

8. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Gallavich most definitely, they hit all my likes in a ship plus they're canon & married to boot! #spoiled 😆

9. Do you draw outside of fandom?

Yeah I started getting back into drawing with makinng flowers for mutual's birthday 🥰 I've also made little mascots of baby animals for my niece's baby shower

10. What’s the an art piece you’ve drawn that came out completely differently than you expected?

Probably the GGE2022 for Macy. I had some other ideas. Also their poses were gonna be different like it was either the back of them looking at snow or tumbled into the snow on top of an ny roof top but still not the best at figure drawing so i just did the best of my abilities 😄

11. Do you draw smut?

Not yet but one day 😏

12. Have you ever had any of your art stolen or copied?

Not that I know of

13. Have you ever collaborated on a piece?

No but I think it could be fun to do 🖼

14. What’s an idea you have that you have yet to draw?

Snow king Mickey & Snowflake fae Ian that was gonna be my 2nd choice for the GGE2022 but i loved making fanart for Macy 🥰

Crop top Ian & Mickey in Ian's ROTC hat

Smoo fae Mickey in Ian's arms from a reference pic i saw here

15. What are your drawing strengths?

Faces, hair, blushing & colouring maybe?

16. What are your drawing weaknesses?

Poses, hands & backgrounds

17. What’s your favourite art piece you’ve drawn?

I would say my good omens au I simply adorethe little details I put into the drawing. I referenced Mickey's outfit in Ian's delete scene dream. Ian's outfit is 7x10 just in darker colours. I loved being able to create Ian's ombre eyes by colour picking Cameron's hazel ones. Ian's hair shading. The heart wings & being able to creat the wing texture on the angel wing. AND their signature shows with the timberland & bright read air forces!!! I had such a fun time drawing this 🥰 Also it was my 100,000 post lol

18. What is one thing you’d like to tell people about your art that they might not know?

My gallavich art is the first time I've been colouring my drawings. When I drew a lot in high school I would just do the line art & was too hesitant to colour them.

19. What inspires or motivates you to create for fandom?

Definitely you guys! Being able to make you guys smile. As well as your creations & the creating events 💕🖌

20. And finally, can you describe your process a little? Do you have a favourite place to draw? Do you play something in the background? Do you do research or just go for it? Give us a little insight.

I do like to crawl up into a hunched ball on the lounge couch or my bed (which should stop bad for posture lol) Then I do enjoy playing YouTube video essays about internet history/horror games I'd never play or movie reactions.

Also, I am more of an artist who researches & and works with many references. I got a whole lotta unclosed tabs of Ian & Mickey, body poses & clothes that i forgot to close lol.

So I’m not a fic writer yet! 😉 But here are the interviews questions if you guys wanna ❤️

tysm @sapphireblueye for tagging me and for all the wonderful things you do for this little corner of the fandom!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

9! [but i have 17 wips breathing down my neck rn]

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

282,695

3. What fandoms do you write for?

only hotd rn but i really wanna try writing for marvel (nashuri) or dc (batriddle)!

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

- brutus - The Watcher - The Realm's Sweetness - phantoms & fishbowls - legacies

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

yes! i think it's so sweet and intimate when someone takes the time to not only read and kudos my work but also leave an appreciative response,,,, i reciprocate a lot and as a reader, commenting is a bit intimidating so i rlly value the initiation!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i don't think anything i have out yet is too sad (but i'm angst tone deaf at times) although 'The Realm's Sweetness' is def the one that comes to mind. it's based on canon/my take on a lore accurate asoiaf storyline for lucemond so,,,,, yikes,,,

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

'love in the dark' and 'brutus' are a tie for that one. rhaenicent get to run away together and live domestically while lucemond get to rule and start their own little family despite,,, the horrors.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

actually not really. i've gotten condescending/backhanded comments but the only fic i've gotten a crumb of real hate on is my fic concept art which was.... interesting....

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

i do! i write the bad kind <3 no but srsly it's just nothing crazy or fun (imo)

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

no,,, maybe when i was like younger but as of now, no,,,

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

nope! but i think most of the ideas/plots i make up are really out there and abstract so if anyone tried-- good luck. i can barely keep up with some of my fic lore and that's because i have it all written down in my notes app.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no, but i was thinking about translating my english stuff into spanish myself,,, and then i realized how much work that is so,,,

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

nah. i've thought about it... i just feel like my writing process takes a while and anybody stuck writing with me would end up regretting it lol

14. What's your all-time favourite ship

i ofc love my hotd dumpster fires (lucemond, rhaenicent, luaena, alysmond, jacegan, etc) but the first pairing that forever has a special place in my heart are soul&maka from soul eater,,,

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

i have this rhaenicent fic that was in the works but i just sort of lost any new plot to add to it. that tends to happen and my brain randomly picks things back up, but this one has been radio silent for a while,,, nothing i've teased or already have a preexisting work out for though!

16. What are your writing strengths?

detail. foreshadowing. outlandish things galore. you could give me an inanimate, random household item and i'd probably come up with a rlly intricate backstory for it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

probs smut and the amount of writing i do. average trs and legacies chapters are 5-10k and that leads to slow updates. but hey, i'm trying to learn about quality over quantity.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

hmmm the only other language i'm fluent in is spanish but none of the characters i write speak it so,,,, valryian is rlly the only language i write dialogue in for fics but that's generated through a translator so eh. things get lost in translation or don't come across with the initial intended meaning. at first, i used to think high valryian was such a nice, intimate undertone for fics but now as someone writing the dialogue and sourcing the translations-- i've become a bit immune. i just use it for plot reasons now.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

b-bts ff- on wattpad- [gunshot] (this was actually a really nice experience and intro into fic writing so,,, army borahae asf)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

probs 'is this fate (or is this fear)'! i love black mirror and the actual premise is based on one of my own nightmare sequences, so how fun <3 no but yeah i wrote it in a week and felt so immensely pleased with myself for having stuck with the idea and then completing it,,,

tagging @droppofsaltt, @spiderlilac, @unohanabbygirl & anybody else who sees this and feels like doing it <3

Can I get some weebfem thoughts on genderswap/genderbend fanfic and fanart? It really should be called sexswap, but you know what I mean. Personally, I enjoy it when it’s done well and doesn’t resort to gender stereotypes, and I noticed it used to be a lot more popular pre-2012, but now all I see are fanworks where the characters have been transed, and it just seems like such a pathetic cop-out to me. I think stereotypical shounen protagonist personalities like Naruto or Luffy (big eaters, ambitious dreamers, shameless, gross, loud, honest, dimwitted, fights everyone, wears heart on sleeve) become a hundred times more interesting and endearing when they’re written as female characters. It’s disappointing when art depicts Fem Naruto or Fem Luffy wearing skimpier versions of their iconic outfits or with their hair long, or when their canon personalities are switched to more submissive or “feminine” ones in fic, or when they’re written to be blatant self-inserts, but when I encounter the rare art or fic that leaves their canon outfits and personalities intact with the only difference being that they were born female and are indifferent about being female, it makes me so happy and I wish more fans created content like that. I think if we had more (or any) shounen manga with well-written tomboy protagonists, especially hetero tomboy protagonists, there would be less genderwoo in fandom. Being weird, gross, and unfeminine is considered unremarkable in a man but repulsive in a woman, so I think one reason for all the straight TIFs in fandom is that they’ve never seen a man—real or fictional—show any love towards a weird, gross, unfeminine woman (whereas lesbians love women like that) so straight TIFs who are weird, gross, or unfeminine believe that identifying as gay men is the only thing that will make their natural personalities acceptable, thereby making them worthy of a man’s love. But a boisterous GNC straight woman will always be cooler and more subversive to me than a “gay trans man”. And why are there no sweet, joyful tomboys? I can’t think of the last time I saw a tomboy character who wasn’t angry, depressed, or alone. They make it seem like turning your back on femininity means giving up all your positive emotions and relationships. It’d be nice to see a tomboy actually having fun and being loved for once. It’s exactly why characters like Naruto or Luffy would be so much better as females.

no but everything you said is spot-on. i remember when i still had my fandom tumblr in high school seeing the first debates about genderswapping being ""transphobic"" and thinking literally who cares. they're not real. i was a ~trans ally~ in that i defended trans people's pronouns irl but i thought most fandom gender discourse was stupid bc there were like, actual problems in the world lol. but now that you mention it yeah, genderswapping quietly went away after that for the most part and was replaced with trans headcanons :/

but that's my big problem with shounen anyway. i don't care about male narratives and male characters. if a manga goes too long without a girl doing something meaningful, i get bored. couldn't keep up with naruto, one piece, or fairy tail bc of that. whereas like you said, these protagonists would be totally compelling if they were female.

maka albarn from soul eater was an incredible shounen protagonist imo, but every single solid concept from that manga was ultimately overshadowed by the mangaka's degeneracy and misogyny (seriously do not even talk to me abt "boob madness"). if a woman had written soul eater it would've become a classic (and if u read soul eater fanfic like i did in high school, u can see average women writing circles around that basement-dweller ohkubo hfsjkgkg) bc men just cannot write! their work only encompasses the male half of the human experience, and reading it is like trying to enjoy a 3D movie with only one eye.

shounen does an incredible disservice to boys and girls by refusing to show female characters as classic shounen protagonists. loud, gross, a little thick, nonsexualized, single-minded, everything you described abt naruto and luffy. if they made female characters like that i would actually read shounen. lol.

#answered #weeb hours #long post #i know i get shit for reading shoujo but i just don't caaare abt males and their storylines unless girls are equally involved #if the main interpersonal conflict and overall narrative is completely male? boring. i'm asleep. i don't care.#sorry to whatever naruto and sasuke had goin on

If asked why he had decided to partner with Maka, Soul would probably answer with something like, we worked together best in class, so it just made sense, or, dunno; worked out well, though, so who am I to complain? In reality, he had watched her in their first EAT class together—after all the gossip about her father being Lord Death's personal weapon and her mother being the meister who made him that—and had seen how she seemed to look at the whole world with cynicism and suspicion when everyone around them had stars in their eyes, and felt a tug of something very akin to relief. She wanted to be a scythe-meister and he was the only scythe around, and even though she looked at him with even more suspicion than she seemed to look at everyone else with, he almost liked her better for it. (She was pretty, too, in the way some girls around their age were. Not notably so, but petite and graceful and kind of stuck up, with a straightforward grass-green stare and perfect posture that spoke of quiet pride. Easy on the eyes. Not that he noticed. Cool guys had better things to notice than the moderately good looks of know-it-alls with tiny tits.)

working on chapter 2 of buttons and soul is turning out to be a lot of fun to write :p

Hello I'd LOVE to haer your answers on 8, 13, 20, 24, 32, 39, 43, and 49!

Hey Eva <3 Let's go!

8. Oldest WIP

This honor technically goes to TWEfA, which originally started as a "steampunk" novel when I was like 15 called Clinker Girl. This was originally an OLDER project called Project Imitation, which was 100000% inspired by the Vocaloid song "A Fake, Fake Psychotripic", and then split into two projects: God-Slaying Machine and Clinker Girl. Also, I found the old summary I had for PI on Wattpad and what the fuck this idea was really cool. The premise for CG was essentially, in a world of element-based magic, our main character could use Wind Magic but couldn't use Fire Magic for Trauma Reasons (pretty sure I was watching Kaze No Stigma around this time. IYKYK). That was Dakota, who has MOSTLY stayed the same in transition. Her plotline involving her growing love for Maka was supposed to intersect with the leader of an adventuring guild called Clink (her name was Vanille. Yes like from Final Fantasy XIII), who were desperate to do anything to get their name known again. In the ORIGINAL draft of Clink, the world was a lot like RWBY in which people used like. Magical tech and got neat powers from it, but I ended up scrapping that idea later on. Then at one point I got inspired by Madoka Magica and Maka was a goddess/Celestine, a race of people from the stars that are...basically gods so. Yeah. Anyway there was a Tournament Arc and EVERYTHING and I ended up scrapping it and cannibalizing the plot to use in TWEfA.

Also this had me going on a stint through all my old WP projects and man I had some cool ideas.

13. Describe your writing process from idea to polished

Hard to describe when it is... chaos. Generally, I get an idea and it gets sifted in the mass... bingo ball roller in my brain and every so often, a ball rolls out and I entertain it before chucking it back into the roller. Sometimes, I really like the idea and will hold onto it for longer, at which point I will actually start developing the plot and the characters and the setting and whatnot. After that I just kinda... go until I Flame out or have something completed. And if I do get something completed, then I get to rewrite it until my brain hurts, then have someone else look at it, then rewrite it again. Then hopefully it's something decent I can do something with.

20. How many WIPs and story ideas do you have?

Too many. Too fucking many. Which in some ways is good.

24. Favourite genre to write and read

Fantasy! Contemporary can be fun to read too, and I sometimes have more "contemporary" ideas, but.... most of the things I write are fantasy.

32. Most difficult character to write

Probably Charlie Holtz. I've talked about why before. The short of it is Charlie is way too close to me lmao trauma and all that. It's why I've barely gone anywhere with the project, despite how cool and excited it makes me.

39. Weirdest character concept you’ve ever had

Hard to say. Uhhh there was Fenrick from The Last Nephilim who was a six-inch faery who literally dripped sparkles. Not my best moment.

Uhhh Siobhan is kinda weird, given they're a Dullahan and eat via osmosis and lob their decapitated head around to creep people out.

Fel isn't WEIRD to me but will definitely be weird to a lot of people who read her. I love her a lot tho.

43. What do you do if/when characters don’t follow the outline?

Go along with it and try to route them back to the plan I had. Sometimes this works. Sometimes I just gotta go along with it cause the new idea was better.

49. Which character would you most want to be friends with, if they were real?

Simone. Definitely Simone. The Simone before they kinda went off the rails, because they're really kind and nerdy and they would definitely help me study.

#ask and you shall receive #alex has the floor #simone allard #siobhan #fel #twefa

Hellooo i just finished Transfusion but ao3 is messing w me so hope you dont mind me spilling thoughts here instead of the comments :

anywayy it was so good like what the fuckkkk how do you even do thattt shaking crying eating my pillow.. like the plot felt soul eater-y enough to fit in that world but still so original and had so many cool thoughts and build-onns and any other soul characterisation shall pale in comparison to yours hes just so good, "wish i could have an easy transition" sjrbskdkdn

And the cromaa it was so sweeet and bitter at times and the way you work around with everyones insecurities makes it all seem very intervowen, nothing is out of place and just goddd your writing skill is goals✨️✨️

Also!! I dont think ive ever seen someone written w intrusive thoughts before which is a damm shamee as someone who also has them but not as bad i was watching Stein like.. bro same but also rippp.. that felt really on point too!!

And the whole fic is just so transs like that convo soul and crona had in makas moms apartment.. so validating, felt like crying

Anywayy thank you for sharing your masterpiece with the worldd, bye byee 🌸💛

Hello, dropping by after a long time apologies for that 🥹 I hope you're doing well, is it getting cold out where you live? We get really warm and sunny afternoons and then super chilly nights and mornings so I'm always struggling lol.

It's so nice to have something to watch with family members, love that you and your mom connect on that. Me and my elder sister also make sure to always Stranger Things together whenever a new season arrives!

I enjoy anything by Mike Flanagan too honestly, I think one of the first movies I watched of his was Oculus and that's still such a favourite of mine. I recently binged The Midnight Club and it was a fun watch too. Though my all-time favourite horror show is in my native language and it aired in early 2000s 😅

Now onto some ~important~ questions! 😉

Top 3 Anime Characters?

Top 3 Anime scenes/moments?

Top 3 Anime OPs/EDs?

★ Animanga Secret Santa ★

It is getting chilly where I live! We haven’t gotten any snow in my town yet but I went with my sister and a few other people to the mountains to cut down a Christmas tree and there was a lot of snow up there!

I’m so glad that you and your sister have something you can watch together, and I also love Oculus! Definitely one of my favorites by him 😁

Those are really good questions and I really had to think about them for a bit! I’m gonna put them under a read more tho so it doesn’t take up too much space.

Top 3 characters

Iida Tenya

He’s my baby boy! I love how sincere and excitable he is, and that he’s such a stickler for rules while also being a huge dork lol the Hero Killer Stain arc is one of my favorites because I love how it showcases what he was going through and his growth ❤️

Kotetsu Kaburagi

Another baby boy of mine(but he’s actually an adult man). He’s such a likable protagonist and unlike a lot of other main characters in anime who are teenagers, he’s a fully grown adult who has to deal with getting older and I loved that storyline! I also love his relationship with his daughter!

Maka Albarn

I’m a bit biased because Soul Eater is what got me into anime in the first place but Maka is another great protagonist! She’s so cool, skilled, smart, funny, and compassionate, I love her a lot! Also, like with Kotetsu, I love her relationship with her dad!

Top 3 scenes

youtube

The opening scene of Soul Eater! Again, I’m probably a bit biased here but this was THE scene that got me hooked on anime so of course I had to include it! The design of Jack the Ripper is so creepy yet intriguing, the fight scene is incredibly cool, and I love the way it introduces Maka and Soul so that they explain the premise of the show.

youtube

Rescuing Bakugou! I don’t know how to explain it, but I love some good teamwork, so seeing them work so well together even though their powers are so different got me so excited! And the amount of times I go back and watch the moment Kirishima calls for him and Bakugou blasts himself to him is unreal lol

youtube

And Reiner and Bertholdt revealing themselves as titans! This scene actually got spoiled for me so I knew they were titans the whole time(and I always think seeing this scene for the first time with no prior knowledge must be crazy) but the reveal was still done so well that even I was on the edge of my seat! It’s so good!

Top 3 openings(hope it’s okay that I did openings and endings, I just got a lot of feelings about them lol)

youtube

The first opening from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood! This one’s such a classic, I love the soft singing right before the quick paced change in tempo and how it mixes action scenes with softer moments. Definitely a favorite!

youtube

The Kiznaiver opening! I love the song and I love the way it showcases each of the characters and their personality, and actually doesn’t put the protagonist at the front and center unlike most other animes.

youtube

And the second opening from Soul Eater! All of the openings from Soul Eater are really good(including the ones from the repeat show, which I adore) and I had a hard time choosing between them but this is the first opening where I tried to learn the words so I wanted to include it!

Top 3 endings

youtube

Kyoukai no Kanata’s ending, which is my absolute favorite ending ever 😩 the song is beautiful, the animation is gorgeous, and the imagery is simply stunning, everything about it is just *chefs kiss*

youtube

Golden Kamuy! It’s probably simpler compared to Kyoukai no Kanata but I love the song and I love the way it has the lineup of characters leading up to the gold that’s connecting them all in the first place

youtube

And finally, Jujutsu Kaisen! I love the upbeat tempo of the song, the different ways the characters dance, and especially the style of it! Could never skip it when it came up!

#this one got a bit away from me sorry!#ik it’s long #ask
