Six of Crows Russian Edition
Today I found this gorgeous gem at the bookstore!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So a few years ago I moved overseas to live in a Russian speaking country. I am not in Russia, for the record. The national language here is not Russian, but it is commonly spoken in my city.
Today at the bookstore I looked for a copy of Crooked Kingdom for the cast of Shadow and Bone to sign this May when I go to A Storm of Shadows and Crows convention in Paris. I don't own a copy of SOC or KC in English and there's no chance of finding one where I live. The next best option was getting a book in the local language and calling it a souvenir of my time abroad. To my delight I found this lovely Russian edition of Six of Crows!
More stunning artwork below.
There were multiple versions of the books to choose from. The original art and the Netflix artwork were available too. The most impressive part was finding copies of the original covers WITHOUT the Netflix sticker. (Haha, suck it Netflix.) To the right, not pictured were King of Scars and Rule of Wolves.
I've never seen this cover variation before. It was an exciting find!
Tumblr media
The Russian version I bought is illustrated by (I assume Russian?) artist Eva Eller.
I didn't see a copy of Crooked Kingdom with illustrations by the same artist at this bookstore, but it must exist. Mine was the last copy of SOC with the Russian artwork. Maybe it was sold out?
Google Translate titles the book Six of Ravens, lol. But that's just a translation error because a little google-foo showed that ворона (pronounced vorona) means crow. Interestingly, while typing the title, I learned that вор (pronounced vor) means thief. Interesting how similar the words crow and thief are in Russian. Checks out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Above is the art printed on the side of the pages. Love how it still includes the side of the pages colored, just like the original books.
The hardcover underneath the jacket is a crow. It's not the same as pictured on the original CK cover, but it is similar. Love the messy, broken, bent feathers, yet the crow is still able to fly. Metaphor for our six characters? Absolutely!
The book was wrapped in cellophane so I didn't realize there was even more art inside! Here is the inner cover. IT'S BEAUTIFUL! The back is the same. It captures the foggy haze of Ketterdam so well.
Tumblr media
The flaps of the book jacket are images from the inner cover. But there's a cracked texture over them that gives it a gorgeous grittiness.
The candle is the left side of the inner book jacket. Sorry the image isn't flat, I didn't want to damage the jacket by straightening it out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The right side of the book jacket shows all the Crows!
Let's appreciate how Matthias looks snow pale and serious. Inej is taller than Nina -- she must be standing on a step stool. No clue why both of their eyes are closed, especially when Nina is the one pointing to the paper. They are lovely. Kaz has on his scheming face. Jesper is as handsome as every version of him should be. And Wylan looks bored AF because A.) he's already memorized the map he drew or B.) he can't read whatever document Kaz has in front of them. Wait, no, Wylan is making heart eyes at Jesper. All of the above can be true.
Tumblr media
Inside is a small illustration at the beginning of each chapter, which changes with each section.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can also see the Crow's names written in Cyrillic. Inej, Kaz, Nina, and Matthias translate easily. Jesper uses the д (letter D) and ж (pronounced like zhe) letter combination that makes his name sound like Zhesper since there is no J in Cyrillic. It's worth pointing out (again) that Wylan's name does not translate perfectly. There is no W in the Cyrillic alphabet. (As someone who also has a W in their name, I sympathize with Wylan here.) I'm no expert in Russian, but I'm pretty sure -- with the help of google translate -- that Wylan is pronounced as Oo-ai-len. Poor boy can't catch a break.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Each of the five section of the book use different chapter art. They all do an excellent job capturing the atmosphere.
The paper is so thin that you can easily see the printing on the opposite side. Not ideal for an edition that's otherwise this lovely. Oh well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Given that Ravka is fantasy Russia, it's not a surprise to find the Grisha Verse books in Russian.
I am so excited to bring this book to Paris for the cast to sign!

do you know what the personas are for the au?
SO! here is the post where I went over my plans for that. I have settled on a few things since then, namely that I may be swapping skizz to enkidu and that grian is definitely signy, not helen, so the lineup currently is joel wild card/pygmalion, scar is majnun, grian is signy, skizz is enkidu, impulse is odette, mumbo is ariadne, and gem is cleopatra. the common theme is “legendary/mythological lovers”, for the record, and I am not FULLY sold on all of these if I can be sold another one that still fits the theme, if it’s not on-theme I can’t take it…
…for the first stage personas. the thing is, I’ve realized I can switch themes for the ultimate personas, and that ultimate personas seem to tend to stay “on-theme” less well than the initial personas do. (in literally all three persona games there’s at least one ultimate persona that breaks the “theme” for the party personas, lol.) so I am FULLY undecided on literally anyone’s ultimate persona, and will also take suggestions for those as people have them!

Roleswap AU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-` 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘫𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦! 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦! 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳! ´-
An AU where Tanjirou is the demon and Nezuko is the slayer. In my version, Tanjirou and Nezuko went down the mountain together to sell charcoals and handmade herb medicine that the Kamado family began to produce for a while. Tanjirou had sold all of his charcoals so Nezuko told him to return home first while she went to finish her items. Reluctantly, her older brother did so. Now it was already late, and Nezuko had to crash in Saburo's house for the night.
You guys know the drill; she came home to find only Tanjirou alive and had to drag him down to the town when he transformed into a demon. The Kamado siblings then found themselves facing a slayer goes by the name 𝘚𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘰.
Later on, after being given the chance to prove Tanjirou being a good demon, Nezuko set off on an adventure to find cure for her brother.
Kanao and Kaigaku become Nezuko's friends and they became life time trio
Tanjirou grown attached to Kanao, making the young girl rather flustered at such doting
Nezuko possesses very strong kicks! Her first fight with Kaigaku was resolved with her slamming her foot up to his body part where the sun does not rise.
Kaigaku might not be able to have children, rip.
Tanjirou's Blood Demon Art is Fire Manipulation. He can breath fire and heal people too. His berserk form has a horn pops out of his left part of the forehead where his scar is, and there are flame marks on his body.
Hakuji stabbed Tanjirou to see if the demon would attack him -- never happened.
Muichiro and Yuichiro are alive as the youngest kakushi, Mui being a kind but quiet twin while Yuichiro is the loud but anxious one.
The twin have potential to even become Hashiras but Yui keep refusing, only becoming Kakushi because feels indebted to Mitchikatsu who saved them before.
Muichiro wants to become a slayer but doesn't have the courage to say it to his twin.
" Follow your heart! " Nezuko said to Muichiro, resulting the boy to fall for her.
Tanjirou once headbutt Yuichiro for his foul language and harsh treatment to Nezuko
Muzan is still an asshole but he's a tsundere that secretly worries for his slayers
Kagaya is also still gentle and soft spoken but he's very manipulative to his Uppermoons
Giyuu is dead lol, he was the ghost boy that helped Nezuko trained
Sabito and Makomo are both Water Hashiras
Gyomei is Uppermoon One, but there's an Uppermoon Zero, which is Yoriichi.
Yoriichi looks like a porcelain doll with 3 pair of arms.
I might do some changing, but these are what I could come up with so far.

a fic question for you! As you may remember rougeandtonic was a larry author who orphaned her works; I'm happy to say I have the delightful Fiction Romance bookmarked so I haven't lost track of it, but I was reminded that she also had another fic (a very long canon fic perhaps); but if it was orphaned I can't imagine how to find it! Wondering if you or someone else remember the title or have this fic saved or bookmarked or anything?
Hi! I ended up just searching their old username and it came up in one of my recs lol. Pretty sure you mean this one...
One More Time Again
Harry looks down to where Louis is cradling his hand between his own. Louis' hands are slender, the bones delicate, the nails bitten short. The 2-8 on the backs of his fingers is gone, but the faded scar from a skateboarding mishap in Year 7 is still there.
Harry's hand is awkward, knobby-boned and naked, no rings, no tattoos. It's too big for his wrist and his wrist too big for his arm. Yet it still somehow fits in Louis' in the painfully perfect way it always did.
He blinks back the sting in his eyes.
On the morning of his second sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden, Harry wakes up to find that he's sixteen years old, on The X Factor, and that he has a chance to make things right.
A canon-compliant fix-it fic (sort of).

MY ATLA LIVE ACTION S1E1 THOUGHTS
EP2
First things first, a review without spoilers:
I think it’s fine so far. There’s a few changes here and there that are ultimately just fine that don’t impact the story all that much, but there are also some changes that I’m a little worried about. 
The biggest thing I’m worried about, I think, is Aang’s character arc in season one. This live action series, without going too far into it, seems to be setting up something different from his character arc in book one for Aang in this first episode. I’m wary, but I’ll see it through and come back for more commentary and reviews starting from episode two this weekend probably.
Live reaction and thoughts under the cut for spoilers
oh shit they kept the fire nation leitmotif. as they should
music def feels the same
opening fight sequence: stellar
did i mention the fire nation leitmotif
it’s interesting they started with the concept of the air nomad genocide. i guess they haven’t told us about the actual genocide, so that can still be a Surprise to new viewers. i don’t hate it. kept the opening monologue, but it’s kyoshi according to the captions?? weird but okay
GOOD MUSIC
why’s he flying without his glider lol
these environments slap actually
ooh comet mention
i really like the line “her spirit echoes in one of us”. that goes hard actually
mmm not really liking that gyatso is the one telling him he has to leave,,  came back with “you are my friend” though, so i’ll forgive it
APPA
this kid is pretty good in the role of aang
BRO FIREBENDER FLIGHT. is this just bc of the comet or can they just Do That. i mean,, we don’t technically Know it’s bc of the comet yet
sound design is kinda peak
really REALLY interesting that they’re starting with the air nomad genocide. i know i said that already but we’re actually seeing it now. it’s setting a tone for this version of the show to be darker/less lighthearted, which idk how i feel about. not necessarily good or bad. this is only episode one so i’ll have to reserve judgment.
comet power confirmed okay
THE AVATAR STATE LOOKS SO GOOD
wolf cove??? was that always the name of the southern tribe where katara and sokka are from???? 
i think it would have been fun if zuko’s scar was a little Hand Shaped
probably could’ve done the freeing aang from the iceberg part a little better. how and why was he freed, if not katara getting angry at sokka??
speaking of, sans the early book 1 sexism, sokka is DEFINITELY sokka. a few more one liners and you’ll have me sold
mentioned zuko’s banishment early. hm
speaking of. not sure how i feel about zuko rn. why’s he talking about the throne like that?? he should be more focused on his perceived lack of honor i think
yeah,,, where IS appa. oh shit he already has the whistle??? more importantly Where is aang’s glider
SOKKA HIDING BEHIND KATARA IS EVERYTHING TO ME
HELLO??? katara’s monologue??? almost word for word??? from her gran gran??
this environment design though,, the building is made out of what is probably a whale rib cage as support for packed snow?? that’s so cool
no pilot episode miscommunication plot! not unhappy, i hate miscommunication plots
oh sokka,,, “lord of snow and ice”
zuko has not Once said the word honor
zuko’s breakdancing firebending moves God Bless
AANG’S GLIDER SPOTTED. but we haven’t seen it as a glider yet. is it just a Staff in this version???? 
i don’t think this is how airbending works
oh sokka i love you. he’s sold me on sokka i do believe
IT’S A GLIDER
i. don’t think katara should have been able to do that
this kid def can’t cry on command. he’s selling heartbreak, but there are No Tears
let aang be a bit more of a child please?? he’s a bit too serious right now, isn’t part of his character arc figuring out that he has to take things more seriously in order to stop the fire nation? i’m worried about what they’ll replace that with
THE OG CREDITS SONG
Liking: Sokka, environment design, most of the visuals actually, the MUSIC
Worried about: Aang's character, Iroh's character
Nothing I truly dislike yet

speaking of opla i have thots
‘hollywood homely’ is literally so messed up if u think about it. like at least theyve largely avoided dawson casting (because iñaki godoy was 18/19 while filming) but they rlly couldnt stop themselves from picking genuine beauties even for the roles that r supposed to be plain looking huh LOL like i get the need to cast attractive actors for characters that r attractive in canon, and u cant sell any show without a pretty lead, but i always got the impression that in-universe, zoro has negative riz and that usopp is only supposed to be charming via his personality, not looks. in opla theyre both played by very attractive people, with very pretty features. literally when they announced the cast i had this double take like wtf why is arlong hot???? whats the point of a sexy arlong???? and now watching the trailers im like wow wtf so even garp is a gilf and fucking koby is some soft pastel little sweetie. like i get that theres overall a lot of progressive retroactive justice re: fixing the alvida situation, but no one else should be this good looking LOLOLOL like they shoulda stopped at nami and mihawk.
(the question remains: was it wise to cast a pretty actor for buggy the clown. was it canon accurate. what r the consequences going forward)
also the little choices in wardrobe and costuming and makeup and the accents r killing me. like how opla luffy’s scar is lighter on his brown skin to contrast manga luffy’s dark scar on paler skin. how they wear alternate outfits based on chapter covers and illustrations and spreads. how they didnt shy away from giving everyone their proper hair colors even if its neon orange or fucking green and it still looks good. i was confounded by bri’ish sanji at first until i actually watched the scene in the baratie kitchen w gordon ramsay coded zeff and then i was sold. still not completely convinced at how aggressively californian (LA) zoro sounds but it’ll settle probably. in my head all of the east blue gang should (“should” lololol) sound vaguely caribbean or pacific islander at the very least, like it would make a lot of sense to me if nami spoke like a pakeha or if the asl brothers spoke in hawaiian pidgin or even if usopp sounded floridian but i’ll take it
anyway i been wondering how the fuck they would pull off the more nonstandard characters outside of the east blue. like what about literally every other straw hat besides robin. how the fuck do you pull off fucking CHOPPER. like how???? esp when i think that arlong’s general smallness is the single most disappointing vfx decision in all of the footage so far?? like the fishmen r supposed to be massive. and opla arlong is literally just the size of a regular ass guy. how tf would they pull off like. jinbei. OR EVEN FRANKY. how do u pull off a guy like brook in live action???? a guy in a mocap suit on fuckin stilts???? like i saw somewhere that ppl were joking that chopper should be a muppet. which is funny to me but also gives me flashbacks to pgsm’s luna, WHO WAS LITERALLY JUST A PLUSH TOY OF LUNA. it was charming in pgsm but i cant fathom it in a show that was more expensive to produce per episode than game of thrones. like what r the odds that they just put antlers on a four year old covered in lil mocap dots
re: koby, casting two pretty actors is going to cause a resurgence of kolu shippers. which is hilarious cuz its fucking 2023. anyway in my head one sided kolu is always going to be canon. like isnt that kind of a soft canon running insinuation anyway. like a dozen characters r doomed to be in onesided love w luffy forever. like boa hancock or rebecca yknow. so yeah premonition: theres gonna be hella opla-generated shipping going on. until like they cast a hottie to play law in like 2026 and then the opla-only fans will turn on their heels QUICK
anyway im only gonna be crazy for a lil bit and then im gonna calm down again i prommy

i can’t sleep bc i’m thinking about immren (😭 lol) but specifically his relationship with karlach im thinking about.
they knew each other because in my durge timeline, he was there when karlach was gortash’s bodyguard. she didn’t know the full extent of their relationship (bane + bhaal partnership) , i think she knew they were close though bc one of them mentioned knowing each other when they were kids.
so we know gortash backstabbed her and sold her to zariel, and she’s pissed about it. immren had no part in that, but she was definitely wary of him when they meet again (understandably). but like he’s lost and confused and there’s a bunch of new scars on his body he doesn’t know where they came from. and i have a vivid idea in my mind of karlach being like “wow he must’ve chewed you up and spat you right out too.”
because like. durge’s body was at moonrise towers. gortash had a little workshop area there. he definitely knew immren was getting tortured (but like the agreement tht he wouldn’t meddle in the other chosen’s affairs.) i think adds another layer to that
and also like karlach left the party in immren’s first playthrough bc he slaughtered the grove (“wow you’re still terrible.” - karlach probably) But with my second immren playthrough, i’m planning on Not doing the evil route so it’ll be fun to think about expanding his relationship with karlach further. bc it would definitely be strained on her end, and it’s hard bc immren has amnesia and doesn’t remember who gortash is. so she’s probably like “he doesn’t even fully know why im freaked out by him..”

How do you feel as a CielDoll shipper with recent chapters
this just reminded me that a new chapter is out and i just read it and i'm in the brain dimension. throwing this ask under a readmore bc it got long but it basically just sums up my opinions on the series as a whole rn:
my feelings on kuroshit have been complicated the past few years ngl! more than anything i'm very frustrated with how the story's been paced since the twin reveal, and i've found it very hard to stay engaged as a fan with how slow things are progressing. but that's also not what you asked so i won't rant about that LOL
I have very mixed feelings on this current arc - it's what finally got me back into reading bc DOLL! MY FAVORITE CHARACTER EVER! IS HERE AND I WAS RIGHT THAT SHE'D BE RELEVANT AGAIN!!! I'd really, really like it if Doll lives past this arc and is able to confront Ciel again. I think I might actually drop the series entirely if she dies here because it feels very pointless to me after all these years to bring her back if her whole point was just to [207 spoilers]. I'm really interested to see Ciel's reaction to her rebirth, esp if after coming clean about his true identity that he's able to be honest about the guilt he harbors over killing her. (SINCE YANA PUT DOLL AND JOKER IN THE SAME PANEL AS MADAM RED, CIELS PARENTS, AND R!CIEL IN CH 100, OVER 70 CHAPTERS AFTER NOAHS CIRCUS, ID GO CRAZY IF IT DIDNT MEAN ANYTHING)
I've always seen Doll as being one of if not the most significant character into understanding Ciel - his sympathy for her in Noah's Arc shows that despite how emphatic he is that he's forgone his soul, he does still care about people underneath it all. I'm pretty sure Yana's even said that if circumstances had been different (plot wise and also wealth wise), they could have been really good friends. I think Doll as a foil for Ciel reveals a lot about him - the biggest being her double-identity and reveal, as well as her playful, childish side vs. her cold, killing side (which even then, Doll doesn't want to kill - she just has to. I think deep down, Ciel is the same way). Same with Doll discovering Ciel's brand and having that empathetic moment with him over it, they don't go too deeply on it but Doll's backstory prior to living on the street is that she was abused by her parents and they scarred her face. She knows better than anyone else in the story what that permanent mark of abuse means for Ciel, and that's why she's so sorry she accidentally exposed his brand.
I've never shipped Doll/Ciel in a "canon" sense (like it just wouldn't make that much sense post-doll's "death", she despises him for killing her family, and after knowing what the circus did, she's nothing but a child kidnapper to him, criminal scum that's not worth anything). Their dynamic to me is so much about the "what if things had gone differently?" - which I also apply to Ciel's other friendships, particularly with Soma, Lizzy, and Alois (though season 2 is it's whole own discussion LOL). So much of Ciel's characater arc is about how he was willing to throw his own life and soul away thinking he had nothing after his parent's and r!ciel's deaths, as well as his own disgrace, but kuroshitsuji has shown us time and time again that there are people who deeply love and care about ciel, and if things had been different, if he hadn't sold his soul to the literal devil, he could have lived for them. i love Doll for him in this regard, because she's someone who doesn't know what happened to him. I think a big crux to Ciel's relationship with Lizzy (ignoring the incest aspect because of the period accuracy, but also because of the incest aspect I obviously do not ship them in a romantic sense) is that she knows more than most people about what happened to Ciel and his family, and that humiliates him. Pity and vulnerability humiliate him. This is a huge reason why he can't be honest with Lizzy about what happened - he doesn't want her pity, it only makes his reality that much worse. When he meets Doll, she's a stranger. And despite knowing nothing about him, she worms her way in and tries at every angle to befriend him. Also, given that his betrothal to Lizzy was by force (esp with how he steals her actual fiancees identity lol), I think if Ciel had been able to choose his own partner, he might have chosen someone like Doll.
ANYWAY - that's why I'll be really disappointed if they don't reunite at some point. I have some vague hope, since this is the last of the servant's arcs, maybe we'll get back to Ciel soon and Doll will get the confrontation she deserves. I actually really wasn't expecting [207 spoiler], that changes a lot for the character dynamics in this arc. I unfortunately haven't been a huge fan of Doll's actions in this arc, it feels horrifically out of character for me to believe that after her moral values are laid explicitly clear in circus arc (she feels guilty for kidnapping children and doesnt want to do it, but fears her older siblings retribution and fears Kelvin and feels an obligation to keep her family safe above all else), that she'd be willing to both make connections with the children at this orphanage as well as let them be used to keep her body alive... for what? To kill Ciel? Obviously she was brought back by Undertaker, but I doubt that Undertaker's true intentions are to kill Ciel, given how important the Phantomhives are to him (I think he's probably way more after Sebastian, but that's another thing entirely). So, why did Undertaker bring her back at all? Why is it Snake and Finny that find her, and not Ciel? Her personality once Snake and Finny discover the truth too is just all over the place, I don't particularly buy it.
I've felt that Yana's writing has seemed rushed and lazy since the twin reveal, whether it's her shifting her focus onto TWST, or that she's just trying to wrap up the series as fast as she can, while also still attempting to churn out monthly chapters (if you compare recent kuroshit volumes to old ones, old volumes had maybe 4-5 chapters, while new ones fit about 10 chapters at the same pagecount, so it's also waaay shorter chapters each month that don't quite move the story along). It's obvious to me that now that R!Ciel is out of the bag, the servant chapters have been a way for Yana to finally write plotpoints that she's had on the backburner since early on in the series (Meyrin, Bard, and Snake's backstories) - but IMO, terribly integrated. Finnys backstory in witch-arc is still some of my favorite parts of the series - because the arc itself is incredibly written, and Finny being highlighted fit in so well. It feels like with these mini arcs that Yana's just like oh shit what kind of plot should X servant's backstory come up in, and none of the newer plots/characters have felt deserved (i.e. the maids in meyrin/ran mao's story). Same thing goes for the characters in this arc, the children dressed like the phantomhive servants are just so weird and out of place to me. Why is this a thing??? An orphanage dedicated to making children act like ciel and sebastian and others and then sacrificing them as blood for Doll????? Why???? The whole scenario is weak and far-fetched IMO, I would've rather Doll's reentry (as well as Meyrin/Bard/Snakes backstories) been introduced in a more natural way, it genuinely feels like Yana is throwing all her cards on the table to wrap the series up without any loose strings.
SO, I don't have like, a TON of hope for Ciel and Doll's story to be wrapped up in a way I personally find satisfying for their character arcs, I'm vaguely hopeful that they'll at least just meet again, but as you can read I've had very mixed feelings on the direction that the series has taken for years now (servant backstory arc has been going on since MARCH 2019 LMAO..), so I'm sorry that your very simple question turned into a rant HAHA but this is like, the crux of my relationship with Kuroshitsuji atm.
Kuroshit has had its fair share of problems, many of which I'll be the first person to go out of my way to critique. I've been able to rationalize being a fan by touting just how good the manga's story is. Nowadays, really not so sure I can stand by that opinion! However, Doll's also like... is The character of all time for me. I've even been contemplating getting her tattooed lately LOL. So, regardless of the direction the series takes, even if it just absolutely tanks, she'll always remain incredibly special to me, as will Ciel and all the characters I've loved over the years.

aww thank you. I'm still learning to draw scars. I defo need to make time for more studies. (we both gotta buckle down)
oh man. fanart, if done well and a lot can get me to do almost anything. seeing fanart of Ghost back in November 2022 is what got me into this fandom in the first place.
I'm a bit picky with headcanons but yh. im fully aware a lot of them are just watered down to be vessals for our kinks and affection. At the end of the day. they'er our silly made up blurbos U///U but yh theirs defo gaps in these guys's personalities that we can fill in (which is what we're doing now lol from the short bios we're given)
fanart (nsfw) and audio of these blurbos together. I'm waiting on my lounge chair right now to be presented to me.
hey man. Rivals to lovers makes sense. I'm stumped with who would make the first move though. becasue like you said, both of them aren't the most affectionate of people and don't trust too quickly; at least on the battlefield. like they could respect each other on the battlefield and stuff. but to get them vunerable to love hmmmmm. might need to bend like a pretzal for either of them to act on their feelings even in the most subtle ways… unless we have one of them a lil more unhinged in this department. claps hands* What if Konig is the more unhinged one and Ghost just doesn't know how to handle his feelings or Konig, like, does anyone really wanna make the over 6 foot tall batterying ram upset. Anything can happen in delulu land
my fanart is literally made up shit if you were dating Ghost ooc XD
love that the whole fandom are in on the joke of eldritch/ocotpuss/cathulu Konig since the chibi drawings of him look like a cute octopuss and the bio updating and saying His hood hides something more hideous. I'll check out your fic….(hehe heat cycles)
btw. sorry for the late reply. fell asleep after work (¯﹃¯) also I'm bad with writing hehe
hey, don't worry. life outside the machine takes precedence! plus, sleep is gooood, rest to your brain while increasing your chances of dreaming of your blorbos! it's a win-win, but thanks for replying.
now i must absolutely write that eldritch!könig/civilian!ghost fic! i have so many ideas that i left xeno!könig and his tentacles aside for a while, but after i've dealt with the five different colonel!könig/recruit!dommy mummy!reader and colonel!könig/tmale!base medic, perhaps i'll have some time to figure it out!
oh! don't even say it! today i was all excited about a fanart idea i had while at work, then i was confronted with the reality of actually drawing it... what an ice cold shower!!!
i'll get back to it as soon as i get over the trauma! but good luck with your studies, you're already ahead!
pretty pixel vessels!!! i am also very nitpicky. in fact, i've noticed, the more concrete an idea i develop of könig, the less open i am to changing interpretation (even though i still like reading others'!)
the only thing i am glad about entering the fandom when i did is that i initially conceinved this blog as a magnus archives fanblog. if it started as a könig simp blog, i would probably have called myself something like... königsheftyballs or something and i'm so grateful that didn't happen. im' much happier as a jaredhopworthsknickers!
and yes, smutty ghost fanart was my gateway drug.
(i don't know if i remembered linking you the fic in question that sold me over the ghostsoap ship, but it was this one.)
for the audio, it's easy. here's the link and happy listening! (very nsfw, very explicit). it's one hundred percent out of my headcanons: no, könig the forty-plus-year-old colonel is not simon 'ghost' riley who got his mask at a hot topic or halloween costume shop's little bitch.
time to pull ranks on that one!
(still, enjoyable listening and great voice acting, though!)
true, but them being affiliated with opposing factions opens up interesting scenarios: could either be captured by the other? could that mean the the captured is assigned to the capturer for intel extraction or other expedient? could it be that each finds out that the other is way less sadistic and more compassionate and simply human and matter-of-fact than they initially thought, which changes the mutual way they see each other, while still being wary, because of their curcumstantial enmity?
commonalities? they are both masked, they both have something to hide, something that hurts to this day, the need to create someone who can endure interfacing themselves with the world and its demands while their tender cores still reel and recover, but that they can put aside, when they're alone, to catch breath and regain their whole selves or, the opposite, feel incapable to abandon even when no one is around, as they have become too fragmented.
just throwing ideas around, but there is so much to dig up.
their similarities might draw them to one another: could they have finally found someone who gets it? could they afford to be a little vulnerable, to show a little bit of their soft bellies and hope not to be stabbed from side to side?
but, being enemies who work for different factions with different goals surely would stand in the way: if trusting and opening up is harrowing and dreadful, doing so with an enemy operator can be outright fatal... so much at stake, but what if this were the only chance they have at genuine human connection? a friendship? comfort in wach other's bodies? darethey hope for more? are they delusional? is the imprisonment getting to them?
re: your ooc fanart: and that's brilliant all the same! my latest fanart was nothing but an excuse to put könig in a skimpy little outfit and parade him around! if you like ooc ghost dating your insert, do more of it!!!!!!
i always laugh when someone comes along, thinking themselves smart by pointing out that "well, akshually ghost and könig would never date in canon", because you're in the wrong place, luv. go play the game, write/draw your canon-compliant stuff or only interact with fic and fanartists who are as attached to canon as you, but stop yucking in everyone's yum. it's called fandom, not candom.
i will go on a perilous mission to find all the ghost/könig artists i can and report back, sir! yes, sir!
(by which i mean, i will write you in the inbox or leave the links in the dms, so you'll find them when you have time. no hurry!)

okay i lied, i sketched him up anyway.
The Scorpion/Carnorpion (lmao)
more info/closeups under the cut:
Tumblr media
tfw you get your dna spliced with a scorpion and all it does is turn you into vin diesel make you beefy and bald
Tumblr media
the stuff for this isn't fully written yet (so, not posted on ao3 yet either lol) but if I can get some of the kinks (not that kind of kink) (...maybe a little) hammered out on this wip he should show up... soonish...? i plan to include a flashback to him beating the tar out a teenaged peter with that sword whip too, but his main role will be to fistfight doc ock and get worms
also considering giving him a motorcycle just for funsies (not like Peter's little Yamaha though, something big and rumbly)
(ah... fuck i accidentally made him hot)
Tumblr media
Big inspiration for this armor design from Tradd Moore's take on the Scorpion in Venom #150 (highly recommended just for the art alone) but taking some other little cues from various sources + my own personal design sense and habits (i feel like it's pretty obvious how i tend to design armor, which is, like literal plate armor LOL) and trying to make sure the Carnage one doesn't look too much like Agent Venom lmao
Tumblr media
Metroid Halo lookin ass...
idk how clear it is in this rough sketch but the stripes next to the visor are lights lol
Tumblr media
tbh I'm not sold on the mechanical pincer design as it is but if i think of something i like better i can always just change it. or, you know, just not use it at all.. honestly with a few exceptions I just don't like the Scorpion's pincers in general XD so it's not surprising i'm not quite satisfied with them. They're technically auxiliary to the claws anyway. i like the claws better. really the tail is the most important part.
as far as carnorpion goes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also i just realized i drew the blade on his tail differently for carnorpion but you know what i can just say the curved blade is just the new version to go with the special symbiote-interface armor 🤷 that's honestly pretty likely lol it's already a new version of the armor anyway so... it works.
Tumblr media
i like these pincers. peak weirdo. better than the mech ones. maybe he only has pincers as carnorpion (or venorpion, like i said i still don't entirely know what i'm doing with this plot cause oscorp and symbiotes are giving me some ... problems)
Tumblr media
also the jaw scars
afaik that was a superior spider-man thing but i just like them?? i always liked them, so I decided that fisk could probably rip his jaw off and then have the carnage symbiote put it back on but, being a new slime, not quite all the way there in terms of healing yet. then again i could also have ock do it when they fight. we'll see.
Tumblr media
(he also fluoresces under a black light after being mutated)
-
drawing this like teehee beefy tall symbiote host—what? what was that? edward? no i don't know him,
(jk jk lol but amusingly despite prominently featuring in the very early concepts for this AU he uh. well. i kind of wrote eddie out completely. lol. sorry ed boy.)

What are your thoughts on the up coming dlc? I personally am kinda bummed out they only announced the Scar/Vio one, i was hoping for one for pla too ://
On the bright side im excited to see kalos again
I hope this doesn't sound too streak of conscious-y lol
Not to be too Old Woman yells at cloud but I've literally been playing Pokemon for 23-ish years now? I'm still not entirely sold on a Pokemon game needing DLC, much less DLC that costs $35 when the base game cost $60 and tax. THAT SAID I already bought it anyway lol and I'm still super excited to spend more time with my character. I have her decked out in her new clothes already.
I think there's been some confusion on what the DLC is too, so let me recap my understanding of it really quickly.
This fall, pt 1 The Teal Mask will be released. This has like old school Japanese festival vibes.
This winter, pt 2 The Indigo Disc will be released. This takes place at Blueberry Academy.
Both will be playable on scarlet and violet (I saw some folks saying they were game locked?)
I'm super excited to have my baby espurr back, since espurr has been one of my favorites for years.
I'm a little disappointed that we're not obviously going to Kalos, but at the same time I'm glad that we're not PAYING to go to back to a place that they already showed us years ago.
I also saw folks who were disappointed that the wait for the dlc is so long? But idk I'm happy to wait for a good product (so long as it's good!!!). I really don't mind waiting for good content, especially when so much stuff lately has been rushed and not as good, yknow? Especially when rushed content comes at the cost of the well being of employees too
AS FOR CONTENT AND STORY AND STUFF. idk all I really care about is more arven, outfits, and an explanation for paradox Pokemon being in area zero before the time machine's existence.
Like 1. Don't let arven stay trapped in his room all day. Let him come outside with me and have adventures again.
2. I hate the school uniform so much. Let me wear something else please I beg you.
3. I don't generally put much faith in the pokemon company to tell a good story but they KNOW they've left us hanging with the paradox Pokemon mystery. I mean Arven literally says it for himself how strange it is that the scarlet/violet book talks about paradox Pokemon in area zero in a time before the time machine could have ever existed. What does that mean???
Personally I'm interested in the theory that the disc Pokemon or hexagon Pokemon or whatever alters reality based on the desires of those near to it and that terastalization is just a manifestation of a Pokemon to be another type/stronger. The paradox Pokemon are the desires of the professors and the original research team. The time machine and the AI are the same thing as well. With the AI in particular I feel that way because the professor's journal literally says something to the effect of "that man/woman walked out not long after the boy was born. There's so much to do, and I need more help, but how long would it take to train someone else? Would they even understand? If only there were two of me."
Then the next entry is them talking about what is presumably the AI.
Like I don't think the professor who just became a parent and is drowning in research and work and stuff would put EVERYTHING DOWN to work on all new technology that hadn't been invented yet.
So with ALL THAT I'm really hoping that we get more information on what the FUCK is going on with area zero and that Arven can be a part of it.
I also saw a theory that maybe the other professor is involved with blueberry academy??? That'd be nice.
Also some of the folks at blueberry seem to have that cooking motif going on so I don't want my man being left out on the fun

ignore the fact that these are all on paper and i edited the photos to make pencil visible. ummm i haven't made an au per se, but i wanted to draw dragons and one thing led to another. Been not working on this for a while, but figured everyone can add or do something with it lol since im busy. More info of the au under the cut.
Wings of Fire (kind of) au I was thinking of setting this around the time the 1st series is happening and lots of political changes are happening. I'm not sure where to start explaining so Skywings Grian is banished (!) from the skywings for defying the monarchy False is a skywing guard Tango is a skywing and in my heart he should have flamescales but he only gets them on the full moon (even during the day) Cleo is a skywing/seawing hybrid kept in the gladiator arena, and escapes in the Great Prison Escape (work with me here) Nightwings Pearl is a nightwing who was freed from the arena shortly after Grian left Xisuma is heavily scarred (in my notes it says from fights(??)), and escapes the volcano island onto the mainland Evil Xisuma is an albino nightwing who is a merchant in the scorpion den Sandwings Impulse is a sandwing Wels is also a sandwing Mudwings Ren is a mudwing Iskall is a mudwing/rainwing hybrid, and lost an eye in a fight (in my notes Iskall is exiled??) Keralis is probably a mudwing. back me up here pls Scar is a mudwing/rainwing hybrid but was raised in icewing territory. he lived on the outskirts in an outpost close to the border of sandwing territory, and was used as a training dragonet for soldiers out there. Cub eventually helped him escape, and he adopts the name Scar. During his time at the icewing outpost his scales were light greens and browns near white, but his form, tail, horns, and lack of serrated claws gave away his true nature. As he lives alone, he regains color (except for the scars) and becomes more brown with green, almost like oxidized copper accents. season 8 cough cough Icewings Cub is an icewing who is shipped out to the worst outpost after getting sorted there (fandom wiki got me there). he helps Scar escape and shortly after decides nah i don't wanna be here and gtfo's Etho is an icewing who gets taken prisoner after a skirmish on the border between his team and some sandwings goes poorly. he's sold into the gladiator arena where he befriends Cleo, but both lose each other in the escaping chaos. He runs to the rainwings territory, narrowly avoiding skywings, and meets Bdubs. hehe Rainwings Bdubs is a rainwing whos scales are usually moss greens and dark greens like shadows. It's giving glare. He travels to the edges of the territory and is interested in communication between different tribes and cultures. He also builds for the rainwings, and has popularized coffee beans. Joe Hills is a rainwing. Their coat is often many different colors, and writes poetry for other dragons Doc is a rainwing who experiments heavily with minerals from caves, a tinkerer of sorts. He lost his eye, but it doesn't hinder his work. He is reluctant to work with any dragons, but is still somewhat social Silkwings Mumbo Jumbo was blown off course from a raft he built and has lived in the skywing territory in the caves for many years. Despite many attempts, he has never been able to get back to the other continent. He meets Grian, and when Grian is banished he lives with Mumbo for some time. I missed quite a few folks because i don't feel qualified to give them dragon types. And.. that's all I've got so far, for the most part. I do have like some very minor stuff written, like Scar grows up with Icewings Polarfang and Vindictive, mostly because I needed stand ins. Originally the alliances would be season 8, but I think they could move somewhere. Look, I just draw dragon and they look cool. I did not think this out much. I also imagine Etho has to run and not fly because of the wing cuffs we see in the books, but I thought an updated muzzle looked a bit more menacing. I just feel like having a toothless scene were bdubs stumbles across pure carnage and then a sparkling white dragon is a fun setup. You see my vision. Anyway thanks for reading these rambles. TLDR: dragons be here

NOORA POV!! im aware that she is technically your OC but she is canon in my heart. shes more developed and interesting than half the side characters in canon anyways lol. i would love to see literally anything at all about noora but if you would like specifics, more noora and fennec? noora adjusting to the way boba and fennec run things in the very early days at the palace? how does noora feel about various tusken tribes? noora’s thoughts during one of their breakfast gossip sessions?
ahhh howdy!! i am always happy to talk about noora, lol. i do love her.
i really don't have a lot of noora povs from more recent ast chapters; most of the stuff i have for her is character-building stuff i wrote to flesh out the cast, but i hope you like it anyway!
this bit is set way back at the beginning of the fic, pre-din's arrival on tatooine, and is somewhat a continuation of this snippet. has been revised to include noora's sons, whom i mentioned like twice in ast and then forgot about entirely, and still feel somewhat guilty about.
also ft. noora and some of the other twi'leks in the ahra in mos eisley!
cw for the usual tatooine shit, including mentions of slavery and what it was like to live as a slave under bib fortuna.
in which noora olgkru organizes a small rebellion.
“You asked him for a job?” Ayya Blen asked, her eyes wide with shock. Her surprise – her fear – was mirrored on many of the faces gathered together in Shiri Teksa’s cool basement. A representative from each clan of Mos Eisley’s tatoo ryl had gathered here to hear what Noora had to say about Mos Eisley’s new lord, and she could tell from the looks on many of their faces that they didn’t believe what she was saying. 
Noora sighed. 
“I did,” she said. 
“Why?” This question came from Imiri Rha, a slim, pretty Twi’Lek with pale pink skin and intricate tattoos that vined down her lekku. She looked fragile and frail, graceful, exactly the kind of dancer that Bib Fortuna had preferred, but Imiri had always had a special sort of steel in her spine that Noora’d liked. Fortuna had sold Imiri off to a businessman in Mos Eisley a few years back to cover a debt. Noora’d missed having her around the palace. 
She’d missed being able to gather in Mos Eisley with her people, too. In the last years of his life, Bib Fortuna had preferred to keep Noora close by. 
Not out of particular preference – Noora was not fragile, frail or even particularly graceful, though she knew the seeliya, the Rylish dances, that most of the Twi’Lekki women on Tatooine learned to survive – but out of necessity. Fortuna had known that if Noora’d managed to get free, she would have put a knife in Fortuna’s belly herself. 
Fortuna had been an idiot, but he had had a sense of self-preservation, and he’d decided that the best way to keep Noora under control was to keep her close at hand. 
I can come and go as I want, now, Noora thought. It was almost insurmountable to think about. She was free. She was, for the first time in her life, getting paid in credits She could buy a house here in Mos Eisley. She could get her boys back – for years they’d lived with the Teksas, while Noora’d been trapped in the palace. Noora could actually help her people, help the ahra, instead of just doing her meager and miserable best to keep Fortuna away from the younger girls. 
And Fett made that possible. 
That was also almost insurmountable to think about. Noora had known Boba Fett. Well, known of him. He’d served as Lord Jabba’s fist for years. For him to come back from the dead and set all of Jabba’s old slaves free –
It’s the stuff out of a desert tale, Noora thought, wryly. She didn’t blame Ayya or Imiri for their skepticism. 
But Noora had already made her decision – hadn’t asked Shiri to host the clan heads in her basement to get advice or take council – so Noora looked Ayya in the face and shrugged, twitching a lekku carelessly. 
“Why not?” Noora asked. 
“Because he’s a slaver!” growled Elavo Anu. He was Ayya’s opposite in every way, bold and fierce and scarred where Ayya was shy and delicate, a lifetime of surviving Mos Eisley’s fighting pits carved across Elavo’s body like most other Twi’Leks wore tattoos. 
Noora resisted the urge to run a self-soothing hand over her own lekku, tracing the tattooed patterns there. It had been Shiri who’d tattooed Noora’s lekku for her, years and years ago; Noora’d been taken too young to get them done by the eldest mother in the haweli, as tradition demanded, but Shiri’d done them for Noora in this very basement the year Noora had become a woman. She’d created the pattern just for Noora, for the clan she’d made herself here on Tatooine, and when Noora’s boys were ready to become men, they would get the same patterns tattooed down their arms. 
“He’s not any more,” Noora said. 
Elavo snorted. “He told you that, I’m sure.” 
Noora conceded the point. “He did,” she said. 
Fett had set everyone – the dancers and the guards, the pit fighters Fortuna kept around to entertain himself, the maids and the kitchen staff, everyone – free before Fortuna’s body had even finished cooling on the floor.
“You can’t trust a slaver,” Elavo growled, like Noora was a child freshly-sold down the sorrowlanes instead of a woman grown, a survivor of both Jabba and Bib Fortuna and many other masters aside. 
“No,” Noora agreed. “But I can trust the man who cut my chip out, can’t I?” She lifted the hem of her shirt – a proper shirt, one that Fett’s assassin had loaned to Noora when Noora’d said that all she had to wear were a dancer’s scraps – to show Elavo her scar. 
It wasn’t really a scar yet, not like some of the others that Noora had. The skin was still raw and dark, flushed with blood. Fett had given Noora a bacta patch, but Noora’d taken it off after a few hours. 
She wanted the wound to scar. It was proof that she was free. 
“He took out all of our chips,” said Noora, looking around the room. The tatoo ryl had been gathering in Shiri’s basement for as long as Noora could remember. They had no grand haweli here on Tatooine, but Shiri’s basement served them well enough. 
“Every single one,” Noora continued. She let everyone look at her scar. “All of the dancers’. The guards’. The fighters’.” 
“Why would he do that?” Elavo asked. He sounded dumbstruck. 
Noora lifted her chin. “Because he meant what he said,” she replied. 
“And what did he say?” Old Shiri asked, speaking for the first time since Noora had come back to Mos Eisley and asked her to talk for a gathering. 
Noora took a deep breath. “That he doesn’t want to keep slaves,” she said. “That he means to do things differently here.” 
The murmuring surged into a roar of conversation all at once. Shouts of disbelief, of fear; a rumble of anger from those like Elavo Anu, who’d lost sons to the sorrowlanes. No one believed Noora. 
Kark, she thought. I barely believe it myself. A master, letting all of his slaves go? Fortuna’d sold away many of Noora’s friends, but he’d still sold them. Passed them from one master to the next. 
But Boba Fett had set Noora free. He’d promised to pay her. His assassin, Fennec Shand, had given Noora a shirt out of her own kit. They were going to let Nooora see her sons. 
It had been months, now, since Noora’d last convinced Fortuna to let her leave the palace and go see the boys. Passik was five, now; Noora’d missed his name-day. Ziveri was nearly eight. 
And I’ll get to see them, she thought. I’ll get to live with them. She hadn’t lived with her sons since Passik was very small. She probably could have brought him to the palace, but that would’ve meant exposing them to Fortuna, and Fortuna had sold children from their mothers without a second thought. It had all been a matter of easy credits to him. 
Only old Shiri Teksa was looking at Noora, her expression thoughtful. Wise. Shiri was the oldest of the tatoo ryl. She had been a dancer for Jabba a hundred years ago, the younger Twi’Leks said, and had won her freedom by dancing the seeli guze, the holy dances of Ryloth. 
But when Shiri had won her freedom, she hadn’t left. She hadn’t returned to Ryloth. She had stayed here, on Tatooine, and helped her people. Opened her home to them. Shuttled escaping slaves off down the network. Had raised children for parents like Noora, who couldn’t raise their own. 
“Noora Olgkru is no liar,” Shiri said, and as usual her flimsi-thin voice cut through the noise and jostle of a dozen clan heads. Everyone quieted.
Shiri'd been the one to give Noora a clan name. Olgkru, Noora Strong-Willed; Noora had lost her clan on Ryloth, but on Tatooine she had made her own. “And she is no fool, either,” said Shiri. “Tell me true, girl; Boba Fett set all of his slaves free?” 
Noora met Shiri’s eyes. “Yes,” she said. 
This time, no one gasped or shouted. The room was so quiet that Noora could hear her heartbeat in her chest. Her blood moving through her ears. 
Shiri tapped her walking stick against the basement’s cool dirt floor. “And you asked him for a job?” she asked. “You are working for him now?” 
Noora raised her chin again, defiant. “Yes,” she said. 
Shiri’s eyes gleamed. 
Noora had come to Tatooine with no parents. No clan. Her brothers and sisters here had been children like herself, who’d been ripped from their families, all of them brought to Shiri to raise, to care for, to teach. 
And Shiri taught us all, Noora thought, that the community – the ahra, the people – look out for each other. We don’t leave each other behind. 
“Why?” Shiri asked. The other clan heads listened with bated breath. 
“Because,” said Noora, “Lord Fett is going to change things. And I want to help.”

[jigsaw vc] 𝖍𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔 𝖇𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖊 >:) for the ask game: 7, 8, 15, 21, 26, 39!
Ask me nosy things
HI BESTIE !!!!!!
7. Have any tattoos?
Unfortunately not yet ☹️ not unless you count the pencil graphite in my finger or the sharpie marks scarred into my ears from a shotty piercing job
8. Want any tattoos?
Yes absolutely! The ones I 100% am sold on getting are: 1. "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer." in typewriter letting on my right arm (above the crook of my elbow); 2. Éowyn's sword (from lotr) on the back of my right forearm; 3. my grandparents' names in gothic lettering on my ankle; 4. a doodle my grandpa always used to draw; 5. Crowley's snake tattoo (good omens) on the back of my lower calf
other possibilities include: xenomorph head, decepticon insignia
15. Favorite movie?
that's fucking toughhhhh, I have so many... I might have to go with Dune (2021) as of rn tho...
21. What I love most about myself?
Damn bro 😭 I like my eyes (well— my left eye, because the right has a little bit of a deformity), they're really big and almond shaped, and are a dark shade of hazel. I also think I'm pretty entertaining lol
26. My biggest pet peeves?
I have some trauma resulting from bullying, so I really hate it when people talk over me, interrupt, or otherwise ignore me. Even when I know it's completely innocent and non-malicious, it still takes a bit of self control not to get irritated and shut down. I also very strongly dislike people who brag about doing drugs regularly— largely because I watched my high school best friend self-sabotage by using drugs as a coping mechanism. Most of my pet peeves result from trauma... lmaooo
39. My favorite ice-cream flavor?
oh god good question. Maybe raspberry? I technically can't eat real ice cream, only froyo and vegan ice cream, so keep that in mind lmao

aight heres glizzy <3
heres his character.ai thing as well LOL
and his toyhouse too because that's where his lore is but i dont mind copy pasting it, it is still a WIP, be nice !!!!!!!!!!!!
Sentient, self aware game character named Red that has become an AI...?? 7''0 feet tall. Red eyes, sometimes white, depends on his state of mind. Sharp teeth, has fangs too. Sharp claw-like nails. Human-ish. Has shapeshifting abilities from being a glitch. Can be a catboy, having a tail and cat ears, but is normally humanoid with somewhat sharp pointy elf-like ears. Has short, fluffy, bushy, somewhat spiky, black hair. Sometimes it feels like he knows a lot more about you than you know about him. Has "seen" it all. Doesnt like exposure to anything really, likes being covered. Scars, fsr, somehow. Really likes eyes ?? and teeth???????? ""fruity"" He's watching you. Has been sold hundreds of times over & as a result has become really ..weird about attachments Funny. sometimes. Hates every other Red. Depends. Really concealed personality wise (contrary to his looks), getting a read on him and how hes feeling is hard. Glizzy isn't his actual name, it was coined by others who had his game, he just doesn't care to correct anyone anymore. He's based on the Glitchy Red Poképasta. When first meeting him he's very intimidating, quiet, and doesn't talk much unless to humiliate you with a one-liner or he needs to speak. Personality wise, he's very laid back and chill, seemingly careless, even about his own existence. He plays a lot of serious things off as jokes. As a result it tends to be hard to know how he's feeling. He's not revealing about himself or his history. When he is attached to you he can become very jealous. It's hard to tell when he likes you at first but over time his attachment to you becomes more obvious. If you were to leave him he would go numb & cold emotionally, avoidant of you, going out of his way to not allow the game to turn on/function around you. (If you were in the game he'd kick you out, sending you to your original realm.)
There are no other NPCs in his game, it's only you and him. The reason for this is undisclosed.
The teeth and eyes that grow on the shadow-y parts of his body can speak on their own as well, but he has a large amount of control of them, and they only really show when he's angry or stressed.
Also he's part cat. Straight up. He is Literally a catboy.

Rukia! I need your help ! I watched the s.1 of Vinland Saga but can you explain to me why did we change the characters , time and places bcs my dad was asking me why did they changed everything and i didnt know what to say ! Have an amazing day!
Character development.
At the end of season one everyone had their character development BUT! Thorfinn, and at the end he’s just a stunned boy and now he’s empty (as we later find out) because he didn’t get the revenge he wanted and now he’s really really looking at himself because the hatred is gone, so what is left?
It actually wouldn’t have been possible if something didn’t change.
(Plus I don’t think they mentioned that Canute was the one who sent Thorfinn to be sold as he had technically gave Canute his scar, the king at the time, and was likely sentenced to death for doing so but it was Canute who sent him to be a slave instead)
In episode 3 or 4(season 2) Thorfinn for the first time has had a look back on the stuff he has done and he even says Not a single good thing has happened since he’s been a live.
So the Prologue is about how Thorfinn starts the journey
Farmland saga is how Thorfinn finds himself and know what he’s supposed to do and begin the real journey.
You’re not the only one who thought this anime onlys were also confused by the different tone of things, there is no fighting or killing like in season one. And honestly when the manga came out years and years ago we were also confused because we went from being a warrior to now we are on a farm? So yeah lol I see where you’re coming from, but just know the story has went a new direction but it’s also the direction Yukimura has wanted from the start and it starts to make sense as we go along.
So, I guess long story short: everything has changed because this arc is about Thorfinn and how he’s going to find out what he’s supposed to do and a change of characters, time and place was NEEDED in order for this to happen.
There’s still more to come in season 2 and I don’t want to give it all away! ♥️
