Trying to intentionally come up with something unusual is ending up to be a fair bit more difficult than I was anticipating. Perhaps a safe choice but I've seen you talk about her before and cannot remember if you've written her before, so how about you take a crack at something with one Taokaka T. Kaka?
I HAVE NOT WRITTEN FOR TAO "ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIN CHARACTER" KAKA YET BUT YOU'LL REGRET GIVING ME AN EXCUSE TO DO SO BELIEVE YOU ME - Taokaka thinks she's forgotten something. This isn't anything new, she's always had trouble concentrating on most things for long periods of time, Tora says that things fly into Tao's head only to fly right out again all the time. Its never bothered her before, the world is so full of things that it honestly wouldn't be fair for Tao to just focus on one thing and not give attention to something else too.
She's forgotten that she's forgotten things, or at least people tell her that she has...but this time, she remembers that she's forgotten something. Something big. Something...important. Like breakfast. Forgetting breakfast would be like forgetting your feet, Tao never forgets breakfast or her feet, but she's forgotten something close to it. There's a restaurant in town that makes her stomach squeeze shut, there's a road she doesn't walk down alone because it feels too wide for just one person. She thinks there's a patch of grass in Kaka Village that should be pressed down and worn but there isn't. Tao asks people, she asks the kittens but they knew less then her, she asks Tora but she just shakes her head and tells Tao to take a nap. She goes into town, Scruffy Man holds his head like it aches but doesn't know, Hat Lady goes through a bunch of papers in her big office but apparently the papers don't know anything either. Tao bursts into Boobie Lady's place, not even knocking even though she knows she needs to knock because at this point forgetting has stopped bothering her and is just making her angry. And Tao doesn't get angry, she doesn't like it, doesn't understand it, this coiling feeling in the bottom of her stomach food can't reach.
She yells and screams, paces back and forth while Boobie Lady and her squiggly looking husband try to calm her down. Tao thinks-is sure she's forgetting something important. No. Someone important. She tries to force her mind to make an image, an outline, something anything so she can remember. She thinks she's forgetting a friend. Tao forgets a lot of things but friends stay, friends don't just leave her head she won't let them. Squiggly adjusts his glasses and tries to tell Tao that if she forgot something it must not be important, because you remember things that are important. Tao hears the words, hears the kindness behind them, and she feels her head explode and her chest clench and she lunges. "FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT! TAO DOESN'T FORGET HER FRIENDS!" She's held back before her claws or teeth can do anything, but she struggles and yowls because she's never been this angry, doesn't know what to do with angry, so her head simply lets go of control and lets her burning gut tell her limbs what to do. "Tao! Tao listen-!" Litchi (Litchi, apparently that's her name when Tao is too angry to be friends with anyone) holds her back, stronger then she looks and kinder then Tao thinks she deserves, Litchi keeps her claws and teeth away from doing anything she can't fix, and then her voice hitches, "Tao...Tao you're crying...Tao look at me..." She can't, she didn't notice the big hot wet tears rolling down her face until Litchi pointed them out and now Tao feels stupider then she's ever felt in her life and for once she can't bare to be so stupid, how stupid could she be that she could forget a friend? A friend with no face and no voice and no shape. She can't remember a thing, all she remembers is that there's a hole in the world that somebody should be filling and only she seems to notice.
She struggles out her grip and runs, runs until her limbs burn and her lungs ache but her tears keep rolling down, weighing her down. Somehow, her limbs carry her to the grassy hill outside home. Its late, all the street lights are out, the black so thick Tao thinks she could scratch a hole in it. She looks down at her feet, sees a patch of grass gently blowing in the night air. The grass looks too alive, the patch of grass doesn't look like anyone has ever slept there. That's wrong. Tao knows somewhere deeper then her stomach that the grass looks wrong. She pulls out her claws, and digs. She digs deeper and deeper and deeper, if she digs deep enough maybe the grass will tell her what she's forgotten, maybe the dirt will give her a face, maybe the night air will give her an echo of a voice. "He's not there." A voice colder then shadows says from the lip of her hole, and Tao slowly turns to look up. She sees a small figure clad in red and black, red eyes piercing the thick dark, holding a fancy umbrella. "It's a parasol." The figure corrects, in the same voice Litchi uses when she teaches Tao how to write. The figure, the shadow girl, reaches her free hand down, "Here, let me help you up." Tao looks at her dirty paws, caked in dirt and dead grass, looks at the hole she dug. The shadow girl is right, whoever Tao was looking for, he isn't here. She reaches up, and the little shadow pulls her up with a strength Tao doesn't expect. "...Tao's forgotten someone." Her voice sounds hoarse and rough, her face feels wet from tears and mud, Tao is done being confused, done being sad, doesn't have the energy for anger, now she's...empty. Empty in a way food can't fill. "Why can Tao forget? He...there was someone important, Tao knows there was...how could she forget? Tao always remembers her friends..." The little girl's face twists at the words, looking like there's something crawling in her stomach that she can't let out. "...It isn't that you've forgotten..." She starts, Tao thinks each word was picked in advance. "It is just that...you can't remember. No one can." Tao feels the tiniest wick of fire in her gut again, feels a hiss on the back of her tongue, "why?" The little girl doesn't flinch away, her red dagger eyes never moving away from Tao's face, "why not? Did someone take the memory away?" "...Yes." The hiss moves forward, "Was it you?" The daggers grow sharper, killing the hiss before it could go any further, "No." Shadow Girl sighs, reaches her hand out again, puts it against the side of Tao's wet face, her skin feels like an ice pack, Tao feels herself slump, "...this is just a bad dream. You shouldn't torture yourself for what you can't remember..." Tao tries to focus, but every limb is filling with stones, she tries to focus on the hole where her friend should be, tries to picture his eyes, or his hair, or his smile. Nothing, as if something bigger then she can possibly imagine is blocking the way, a wall her claws will never ever cut through. "...I'm sorry." Shadow Girl's voice struggles around the word, as if she never needed to apologize for anything, or never thought she needed to. Tao thinks, in the bleary mess of her own mind, that she sounds lonely. "Sleep, and forget that you've forgotten, sleep...and live." Tao wakes up, her eyes are heavy, there's dirt on her claws. She's laying down in the grass outside the village. She yawns, rubs at her aching eyes. She looks to the side and sees a very deep hole in the hill. She blinks at it, wonders if she dug it up because someone told her there was treasure buried there...she sighs in disappointment when she looks inside and sees nothing but dirt. Tao flops on her back and looks up at the early morning sky, she wonders why her throat aches, why her muscles feel tense, why her eyes burn. ...Taokaka thinks she's forgotten something.

Crow my friend Crow I love seeing the things you're passionate about always but please tell me you understand how bonkers it is to an outsider that your current blorbos are named Wriothesley and Chloride

i think neuvillette also counts bc good lord French Name

(Well, like I was trying to say, someone else will probably do Sol...but in the event that doesn't happen here's your designated Sol request card to be used for emergencies)
Thank you for the bonus Sol request card hahah
🔥 Overall opinion of them:
*gestures at my entire blog* He's alright
🔥 Gender/sexuality headcanons:
There is no way this dude isn't bi. You can't name a character after Freddie Mercury and give him a THREE TIMES RECURRING* character theme named directly after a Queen song and then say he's straight. There's absolutely no way.
*Keep Yourself Alive and then the II and III versions
🔥 Favorite moment in canon:
God there are so many... That scene from Xrd where Sol gets blasted on Ky's whiskey, goes to the room Ram and Sin are in, gives a motivational speech, and then 6P's the window lives in my heart forever though
🔥 Favorite moment in a fanwork:
I actually have an answer for this one. I have a doujinshi called Magic In Your Eyes by Rima Setsura and it has this Sol panel in it. It's hilariously OOC but I have a cropped transparent version I use as a reaction image sometimes:
Tumblr media
🔥 Favorite line, in canon or otherwise:
When you have the Japanese voices on in Strive and Goldlewis gets Sol with a full Skyfish, Sol goes "tchtchtchtchtch" really fast and it's funny.
Ok I didn't know Sol's system voice in Xrd gave him dialog for the character select screen too (afaik the other voices don't) and they're hilarious:
Tumblr media
🔥 Characters I love seeing them interact with:
Anyone who gets him to not be a dickhead for five minutes. So Jack-O' uhhh sometimes Sin... Axl for like.... two lines in Xrd. Um. Dizzy, kinda...
🔥 Last thing before sleeping headcanons:
Moving the mostly-empty beer can away from the edge of the base of the couch so he doesn't accidentally knock it over when he wakes up later.
🔥 Sleeping habits headcanons:
I drew this before, actually. Before he gets that house at the end of Strive, I imagined he mostly lived out of that small shack described at the end of the Begin novel. It didn't sound like it was very big so I don't think it would have enough space for a real bed and Sol would sleep on this gross shitty couch shoved off into the corner:
Tumblr media
Sol's had eyebags in his design pretty consistently throughout the art for GG too. He definitely is not getting the minimum 8 hours a night
🔥 First thing after waking up headcanons:
Grumbling and deciding if he really wants to get out of bed or not, then ultimately getting up anyway because everyone has to go take that morning piss eventually. Sol's hygiene is something I've thought about a lot but haven't been able to quite figure out. He definitely puts a lot of effort into his outfits, getting them custom made AND wearing clean white pants, but then his hair sticks together in solid, stiff, clumps like it's kinda greasy?? I think he might be one of those people who maybe at least washes their face daily and does laundry often but is too lazy to take a real shower every day
🔥 Favorite locations headcanon:
It's sort of implied through his character specific maps in the early GG games that he might be from New York/New York City and in Begin he has a whole daily habit of going out and laying in the grass under a tree every day. But also in the later GG games he has some big desert themes. I think he likes being alone in nature, though if you asked him about where his favorite place to be was he'd give some tough guy answer like "at a bar" or something like that, but in his heart he's imagining a state park in rural New York up in Appalachia somewhere quiet and green.

Starlo should be Clover's dad
Why? Because ↓
1) Both dress into cowboy-themed attire to feel braver/more important than they are
Tumblr media
2) Clover, instead of a regular kid, wants to feel like a hero; Star, instead of a regular farmer, also wants to feel like a hero
In reality, Star is not the tough guy he pretends to be. His optimism, protectiveness and caring nature make him a hero though.
In reality, Clover started off as a scared kid who became more confident and skilled thanks to Flowey's resets. Their heroism comes from their forgiving and selfless nature and the hidden courage they got the chance to explore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2) Both acted childish during a dangerous situation Clover came down the mountain with a toy gun so that it would bring them comfort/they'd feel more in control of the situation (if you remember, Frisk refused to play with Asriel's toys in UT, saying how they're "too old," and I assume Frisk and Clover are the same age).
Tumblr media
Starlo brought a fake gun before confronting Clover in genocide, just to feel cool.
Tumblr media
3) Both not only value justice, but base it on compassion
Clover's entire mission was to bring justice (avenge the kids), but along the way changed that mindset (in pacifist). Star says how him and his posse aren't bandits, tests Clover's sense of justice and morality with the trolley problem, and wants to give Ceroba a second chance despite her actions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4) Starlo's got protective fatherly instincts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
5) fatherly pride
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
8) a lot of monsters associate Clover with the Dunes/Wild East
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
9) oh and... Starlo referred to the Wild East as Clover's.... home. Twice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he could have easily said 'Wild East'
... get the adoption papers.

Talking with @thatsafuckeduptale about a UTY au/bad ending where Ceroba succeeds in taking Clover's soul to fuse with Kanako and we get a fucked up fmab style amalgam situation
Starlo is horrified and betrayed that his best friend did such a thing to innocent children. Kanako, whom he probably viewed as a nice, and his new human friend whom he had grown close to as well. He saw the tapes in the house like in pacifist, but he was just too late to get there and stop it from happening
Martlet is furious, Ceroba is inconsolable about the fact she's caused such suffering, to her own child no less, and now there's an unstable, dripping, shambling mass that's always in pain/on the verge of death but can't really die because there's like two human souls worth of determination in there. And Flowey can't reset either because he's not the one with the most DT in the underground anymore.
This is the "everyone is unhappy and fucked up forever" ending

The simple reason Clover could beat any penguin individually and all four as a group is she can win against an entire pack of fossa while all four penguins were going to die fighting the same fossa. Clover is my favorite loser at life but she is stronger and more skilled than skipper enough where she easily has fun destroying animals that skipper would lose against. Clover, a tiny lemur, accomplishes the same effect as A LION
Regarding who's more experienced, it's not accurate to say Skipper has more experience than her, even if you believe he's older. Clover has been surviving in the wild and fighting relentlessly against deadly predators designed to kill her during all the years Skipper was living safely in a zoo. That's the definition of having more experience.
Clover in her free time boxes large mammals for fun every week, and she takes them out with one punch. Meanwhile, Skipper in a cage match against a large mammal was such a threatening dilemma for him to survive that it was the plot of a whole episode.

Heeeyyyy bestie I haven’t read the Black clover manga in who knows how long so idk if this already an ability or not but I thought of this cool magic ability based off of yugioh monster summoning
I’m calling it Mana Monster Creation Magic cause it’s basically using a chunk of someone else’s mana and magic and creating monsters that serve you out of it, each with their own individual abilities based on the person whose mana you stole it from
Like for example the Trickstar monsters are Idol Fairy girls who are based off of Deadly plants that when consumed by a person or animal kills them. An example I like to imagine Is if I took a chunk of Mimosa’s Mana and her whole schtik is that she’s a plant magic user that she uses for support and healing and I use it and turn that magic into a monstrous version of her abilities and create Offensive monsters that whittle down your health
Anyways I’m thinking on making an oc with the concept cause I like it and wanted to share it with you and wanna know your thoughts 💃🕺✨
HOLY CRAP! WHO LET YOU COOK BECAUSE LET THEM DO IT AGAIN! That is so interesting and very well made. I had a plan to have like Summon Magic as a subtype that acts like this, but this is just another powerhouse to be absolutely terrified off to even see. This could be something that a villain would use or a good guy that just wants to see the world burn.
This is very best suited as someone that goes in a group of people as this can be the best for a 1 on 1 confrotation, but once it is done, it could be written on a page.
I could think of a couple of examples:
Mars being that of a massive Titan whose wings are that of a Phoenix as it looks like a monster with him carrying Laevateinn as it would be a regular sword, as the monster would be on fire.
Charmy being that of a massive wolf that would be a massive wolf that would feast on magic, but around it is cotton that could suck up anyone, making it almost impossible to escape.
Charlotte could literally be Black Rose Dragon.
There is so much that you can do with this.
Stand Proud, Lav, You Cooked.

Fallout 3 Companions Ranked By Whether They Should Have Turned on the Purifier
Fawkes. Absolutely no excuse. This isn’t even different from the G.E.C.K. except that HE WILL ALSO DIE if no one goes in. Obviously he’s radiation-resistant and he’ll be fine, but nah. What was all that stuff about owing the LW your life, again? He gives some excuse about destiny. What?? Just because it narratively makes sense for the main character to die here doesn’t mean you have to enforce that from inside the story, Fawkes. Booooo.
RL-3. His Broken Steel dialogue clarifies that he does understand that he’s immune to radiation, so he’s basically saying you should die because your dad did, which is deranged. Why would a soldierbot even think he can disobey that order? How does his programming even allow for this? Unclear.
Charon. Buddy, we know that any day you can find a loophole and disobey your employer is a good day. Happy for you. But now is perhaps not the time? His original dialogue is just flat-out cruel, but in Broken Steel he sounds more like he’s teasing. I’ll give him a few points here because I don’t think it’s impossible that high radiation could turn a ghoul feral. Also, he doesn’t necessarily have any reason to be loyal to the LW since he’s not here by choice. Still, you’d think he’d see the logic in avoiding anyone’s death altogether. (Unless their death would free him? Somehow I doubt that.)
Star Paladin Cross. MA’AM. You are third-in-command of the Brotherhood. Those people who style themselves after knights? Who make this big fuss about honor and bravery and stuff? Yeah, them. Neither you nor Sarah should even be entertaining the idea of letting this teenager die for you. If anyone’s going to survive it’s you, since you’re a cyborg. I swear James’s ghost is punching you in the face right now.
Jericho. Yeah, not likely. Would be better than letting the teenager do it. But not likely.
Butch. He’s pretty much in the same situation as the Lone Wanderer, except that it’s not his family legacy driving the story. He’s a sad 20-year-old hairdresser who didn’t sign up to have his insides roasted. Understandable that he wouldn’t want to go in.
Clover. You tell them, queen. Set those boundaries. Sure, LW could theoretically blow up your head for that, but every other option here also means probable death, so just take back your autonomy while you can. You owe them nothing.

Far be it from me to say that anyone 'doesn't deserve redemption' in some form or another but at least like most of the characters in strive actually had some self reflection and/or sought to make some kind of change to themselves. Asuka using his magic godmode wizardry to speedrun redemption arc any%
you know what actually pisses me off the more i think about it? Asuka taking away Sol's Gear Cells. Like, on paper, that sounds like the best thing he could possibly do for him, the Gear Project was the original sin from which this entire series stems, Asuka taking that out, taking out the curse that he placed on one of this only friends to finally put that to rest. But you know what pisses me off about the execution? Asuka doesn't ask Sol if he wants him to do that. He doesn't say "hey Fredrick I can remove your Gear Cells, just say the word after our fight" no, he does the exact same thing that started this mess. Asuka's whole deal is that he did all of this, all of it, because he didn't want his two friends to suffer and die. The problem was that their opinions about either were not a factor, he acted solely out of his own self interest and fear.
Now, back then, desperate and afraid and Aria potentially dying any day, you could understand him, you can see why he did it. But it was still a shitty thing to do, he toyed with two people's lives without their consent or permission, there's no two ways about that. And now, years later, he does the exact same thing, doesn't take Sol's thoughts into consideration, he doesn't take his lumps like a fucking man, he doesn't even talk to Sol before he pulls the Gear Cells out. Over a hundred years to think about what he did and why, and he decides that what he did back then is okay to do now. No growth, no change, no reflection. And then he fucks off to the moon where nobody can reach him, so he avoids any conversation with Sol beyond that. He didn't redeem himself as far as I'm concerned, he spends a few hours beating himself up, repeating the same mistakes that started this whole mess, and then went "woe is me my only suitable punishment is moon ta ta!" and that's where the character arc for our main fucking antagonist ends.
fuck strive's plot just continues to piss me off every time i think about it

"Conversation with a conversation piece"
OKAY SOOO i have been having Thoughts abt @broken-clover 's illyrian aquarium au and ajjsnwmekwkd How could i not do a Lethargy x Bedman thing abt it considering Lethargy in their lore in Ariel's younger sibling not biologically but oh god this part is rlly hard to explain but:
by a technicality Lethargy is a Valentine Unit like Valentine, Ramlethal and Elphelt but was raised since baby/child age as a test of sorts and is also a unit that serves a similar function to Elphelt which is to infintrate human society but: Ariels got attached. Since Lethargy was basically supposed to be a living bomb that activates n explodes the whole earth the moment her 'revive' Justice plan fails. Ill stop here because it rlly is hard to explain and i would probably type out a thousand words here if i dont stop lajdmwndj
Anyways anyways i might draw more of them again they are so wjejwnee i need to draw the other chars in the illyria aquarium au next, maybe bedman n delilah reuniting once i gather more cookie cutter shark refs
