The 'Es is Mikoto's younger sister' crack-but-not-really theory post
@74n5n don't say I don't do things for you.
This is mainly a joke theory I thought of randomly but when I thought about it more there was actually a lot of evidence for it so I'm going to compile a list of it here.
They have similar appearances, doen to their ahoges. I reblogged a post earlier about this one.
Es is a similar age to what Mikoto claims his sister to be (early high school age)
Mikoto calls his younger sister brilliant. I don't know about you but I consider memorising large sections of law, psychology and philosophy to be pretty brilliant. They canonically "have a thirst for knowledge" and enjoy learning about new things and may possibly be the most learned person here despite having thr least amount of lived experience.
Es refers to themself as 'uchi' in his second voice drama, which a less formal and more childish pronoun rather than 'boku' like they usually do, which may indicate dropping their guard in front of him and becoming more comfortable around him. This is the only time they refer to themselves as that. (Credits to @/somokoto for pointing this out.) (Side note: it is somewhat amusing to me that the characters Es seems to be closest to are the ones voted guilty trial 1.)
The rest of this is mainly behavioural similarities which isn't actually evidence and more so parallels but I'm going to list them anyways.
5. Both are prone to overworking themselves.
6. Both are a lot stronger than they appear to be. Mikoto is "a normal man with average build" yet he is the 3rd strongest prisoner out of the lot. Es and Kotoko both point out that their physique is not very strong yet they fucking knocked Kazui off of his chair. Sure, he was taken by surprise, and they were quite panicked, but Kazui is heavy and Es is tiny. They should not have the muscle to do that from their appearance alone but they do. They could probably vault half of the prisoners across the room and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
7. Onto the last point, both (well, John more so than Mikoto, but he is just a different aspect of him) have violent instincts, which is something they share with many others and is likely the result of forgotten trauma.
8. Both have identity issues and dissociate.
9. Also I believe in the "Es committed a murder in the past" theory so that in this context is very funny. Siblings who kill and then forget about it entirely separately.
Like, I do not believe thus will actually happen because I'm not sure where to fit that in narratively and it seems like a pretty big reveal to just gloss over, and also you would think Mikoto would recognise his own younger sister (unless he's been away from home for that long and hasn't been able to return, which, given his work situation, isn't entirely implausible), but it would be wild if it were to come true.

It's our favourite Butler's turn to be Tomi-fied.
My last two Headcanons designs were well received, so hopefully y'all will like this as well!
First of all I love his wing horns, some people perceive them as horns, but they look to be the structure of a bat's bones in their wings. Because I love that I gave him some membrane to fill it in slightly.
I like to think a long time ago his horns were actual moving working wings, but as time passed they got so weathered down they are but bones and some torn membrane. He still tends to them with the utmost care, and has embedded jewels into them.
Back again with the jabot agenda, this time with a pendant meaning to represent Diavolo, using his gold and red colour scheme, as well as having protrusions looking like his horns, as well as general demon horns. This is to symbolize his role as the royal butler. Okay. His OG design has that entire shoulder covered in ruffles, and I love ruffles, but it looked a bit off, so I made it smaller and a bit more flared out, with a cute jewel atop it,,,
Talking about ruffles his coat sleeves are similar to his OG design, but higher up on his arm. Underneath he has long sleeves leading up to his gloves, with some cut frills,,,
Corset. Cool? Cool.
You can't see in this halfbody design but on his waist there would be a pocket watch. A bit of obvious symbolism because I love those clock motifs,,,
He has a beauty mark, probably because I have a very strong adoration for beauty marks they are goddamn gorgeous.
His hair hasn't been changed much, except for a lil ahoge and a hair clip on one side, holding his long hair out of his face. I like to think that part of his hair can also be braided, though he prefers to just have it clipped back.
In my head those lines on his tail has always been veins, though they're not full of blood, it's more of an anesthetic, the forked tips of his tail being almost entirely full of it. This is what you see dripping off his tail sometimes, and giving it it's shiny coat. The tail is semi-amphibious, which is why it needs the slimy coating, or else it'd dry out. Still it's highly prehensile, and can be used as an extra set of hands, even if he doesn't do so often due to getting slime everywhere. ew.
He probably has a similar effect on his hands and feet, the limb being black fading up into teal. This is why he wears the gloves, because once again, if he didn't everything he touched would be slimy. Maybe the gloves are hydrophobic and that's why they haven't absorbed the goo?
Tumblr media
Kinda like this??? you see where I'm coming from?
Also! Those aren't nails. They're bones, pushed through his skin, like that one frog. They aren't always out (otherwise his gloves wouldn't fit) but he is entirely capable of pushing his bones out of his hand to make claws.
He also has a forked tongue that matches his tail because I am one of those people.
~~~
This one was a bit longer than usual but hey! I have a lot of Barbatos headcanons.
Feel free to comment who you want to see next!

Hey mod Sitaya! Could I request the THH characters with a autistic reader in their class?
And Welcome too :)
ahh my first request !! i hope my writing isn't too shitty. also bonus tenko and mikan since i messed up the first time. sorry if this isn't what you wanted!
sorry if it seems rushed or is too short!! there were a lotta characters x3
p.s i removed hifumi and yasuhiro since i had no ideas for them...
this took so long
~mod sitaya
THH CHARACTERS WITH A GN AUTISTIC DARLING !
Tumblr media
BYAKUYA TOGAMI - finds it disgusting and insufferable
"not another one of these peasants... and an indifferent one? hell."
you? indifferent? wow. worse person to be handicapped around.
at first he'd give you the stank-eye. he'd treat you the same as he treats everyone: like a peasant under him.
but oh no. hell will break loose when he finds out you're indifferent.
he'd be such a drama queen, never wanting to be in the same room as you, scooting away, making a face whenever you were around.
byakuya would treat your autism like the plague.
he is in his most annoying era whenever toko annoys him, making sarcastic remarks and comments here and there.
though once you manage to befriend him or i guess tame him like some beast, he'd stop with the bratty ass behavior. maybe not with the distancing himself and leaving the room shenanigans, but still.
whenever he found you annoying (which is most of the time) he'd just pretend he doesn't care or hear, walk away or recommend you go annoy naegi or kirigiri.
one upside is you could basically ask him for money to buy stim toys, weighted blankets or sensory stuff and he'd just say "take it" and throw a thick, fat wad of cash at you.
MONDO OOWADA - finds himself relating to you
"don't think of yourself like that, s/o. i like you most when you're you."
yeah... even though he's the leader of japan's most popular biker gang, he has his number of his own insecurities and struggles.
one is he was and still is, never able to properly socialize with people, that being the reason why he's always so loud and interrupts everyone.
reverse comfort
he's not embarrassed of you, he's embarrassed of himself.
you always have to comfort him when he finds himself in third or second place.
you and scented candles are his emotional support.
sometimes he'd randomly scare you by picking you up from behind.
need not fear, he also does the same thing to ishimaru, in fact he does it more to kiyotaka than you.
if you're cold he'd lend you his jacket.
MAKOTO NAEGI - would find positivity and hope in it
"come on... it's not your fault. plus, it made you who you are right now, it made you you, and i love that."
whenever you're down, makoto would make up stupid stories to try and get you to crack. [ you can decide whether or not s/o ends up laughing at his stories or not ]
as well as dumb stuff that's happened to him due to his 'luck', like him losing his sock and never finding it.
he'd let you ruffle and mess up his hair, also warning you about his ahoge so you don't stab yourself.
sometimes when he has nightmares he'd knock on your door and ask if he could stay for a bit.
in the morning though you won't have to run to the lunch hall, because well, you'll find your breakfast sitting on your bedside table alongside some juice or milk.
whenever you do crazy things, makoto would just watch nervously and would only interfere when you're about to get hurt.
also he likes to stargaze with you at midnight when everyone's asleep.
KIYOTAKA ISHIMARU - worries about you, yet supports you.
"as long as you don't run in the halls or scream like mondo- you'll remain my closest friend!"
sometimes he'd unintentionally throw in a sarcastic or dramatic remark, but that's just him, and you know that.
usually when you're hyper active to the point where you can't eat on your own, he takes it as his own responsibility to feed you manually (and make sure you don't starve to death)
he'd always start off the day with a greeting and how your day went.
since he's asked so many people that, he can tell when you're lying, and would ask what's wrong.
persistent bby
rarely you warn him about mondo picking his ass up, since you find it hilarious.
however you two always have each others' backs.
CHIHIRO FUJISAKI - relates to you on the same level
"don't worry- if i go, alter ego will stay with you till you go too, and then we'll be reunited! right s/o...?"
aside from mondo, you'd be the second person he'd tell his secret to. he knows he can trust you with it, especially when he isn't ready for the world's criticism.
whenever his day was just a horrible one in general, he knows he can come to you for comfort.
before going to bed you both make each other hot chocolates.
you'd lend chihiro some of your clothes whenever he'd decide his confidence level for that day.
if you can't beat a level on a game, just ask chihiro, he'll work his cheating magic.
when your craziness kicks in, you'll insist and persist he hacks into somebody's account to invade their privacy. (you can choose who)
LEON KUWATA - would try to understand your disability
"i don't know what the heck you're doing, but i like where it's going, s/o."
75% of the time he doesn't know what you're doing, but goes along with it.
you'd always be cheering the loudest in the audience at his baseball matches.
he'd be appreciative of your craziness and impulsive actions most of the time.
like you managing to break a vending machine and get like 10 energy drinks for the price of 1.
but sometimes he'll be really confuse and just leave you be... and by that i mean ditch you like the dick he is.
you'll have to navigate your way back.
once you do find him, you'll grab his shoulders from behind, making him scream like a little girl.
SAYAKA MAIZONO - finds it unique and supports you
"don't say that! you're waayy more special than the them!"
honestly she'd think it makes you unique from the others.
in fact, you guys would discuss about song lyrics and she'd take a lot of inspiration from you and your tales.
overall sayaka wouldn't mind whenever you let your heart out, she enjoys hearing your voice.
she's too embarrassed to admit that, though.
if you have long hair, she'd braid and mess around with it, also letting you mess with hers since she really likes your touch.
if you ever needed help with falling asleep soundly, sayaka would offer to sing you a song or a lullaby, as well as learn the lyrics to your favorite song after that night as backup.
pls- she'd be so patient with you. if you were ever mad, she'd leave you be to cool down. if you were upset or scared she'd hold and hug you, telling you everything will be okay. she'd listen to you vent your heart out.
she spends more time in your room chattering with you rather than her own room sitting miserably on a table rocking her brain back and fourth thinking of catchy song lyrics.
AOI ASAHINA - finds you even more adorable
"eeek!! you're so cute s/ooo!! i just wanna eat you up!"
ooh hoooooo.
asahina would treat you like her baby.
her and sakura will defend you with their life, especially from mondo and byakuya. they're getting their asses beaten if they dared mess with you.
overprotective mother mode
she'd share her donuts and food with you.
whenever you guys meet up for the day she'd give you a daily head pat and compliment like "oh my goshh you look cuter than before!"
she'd also get you stim toys and other stuff to distract yourself with incase she was busy with a competition or training with sakura.
if you really wanted, aoi would also teach you to swim.
also would chase you just to ruffle your hair.
CELESTIA LUDENBURG - doesn't care about it
"as long as it isn't infectious, you can have all the time and tea you want with and from me."
oh you were disabled? she didn't even notice.
celeste wouldn't give a flying fuck about it.
it's more of if you piss her off or not. if you don't, you can have tea with her, if you do... well, she'd either send you to kyoko or act like a less dramatic togami.
most of the time celeste would listen to whatever you had to say, or pretend she was listening and constantly nod her head.
she'd be hesitant to let you around grand bois chéri (her cat), so you'd have to try your hardest to prove to her you won't injure or let chéri get injured in your care.
other than that celeste would treat you like any other person.
if you get too out of hand for her though, she'd get you some sensory or stim toys to keep you busy from annoying her.
KYOKO KIRIGIRI - would be supportive of you no matter what
"who cares about what the others say? you're perfect the way you are, s/o."
gentle head and back pats
sometimes in her free time, she'd follow you around, most of the time just to make sure you're alright.
lets you review cases with her, just to keep your mind fresh and active, perhaps one day you'll impress and blow her mind by solving a mystery even she couldn't crack.
even though she'd be embarrassed, shy or not wanting to, she'd join in your activities if you invited her to, such as dancing or singing.
though she'd never share hers, she'd always ask about you and your feelings.
is very persistent, and would secretly and anonymously send you little gifts from time to time like a secret admirer.
JUNKO ENOSHIMA - would be inquisitive and criticize
"oh my gosh, so you just move out of nowhere? couldn't imagine me like that, SO glad i'm not you."
has no idea and knowledge about disabilities and stuff.
she's worse than togami.
she'd always humiliate and embarrass you in front of people to cause despair
but she'd always find herself crawling back to you.
it's annoying, and she likes that. it brings her so much self-inflicted despair
uses you as an insult, especially towards mukuro and kamukura.
"you guys are WORSE than s/o, so much more annoying, no wonder s/o's spirit is brighter than your guys' futures."
when she isn't in such a despair-ful mood, instead of embarrassing you in public, she'd just grab your hand and lightly squeeze it, all while obnoxiously insulting her sister.
since she's an uncultured swine, she'd either let you squeeze, hug and cry to a monokuma bot or let mukuro deal with you.
SAKURA OGAMI - would be supportive and encourages you
"if you lift your chin up you'll see the path hope has created for you, s/o."
usually you'd watch her work out and bring and make her protein shakes whenever asahina was training.
she'd make sure you're good and healthy, both physically and mentally.
if you also wanted to train and work out with her, she'd offer to make you a healthy drink afterwards.
you two always have fun making smoothies and salads with funny drawings and faces made of tomatoes and onions after work out sessions.
would let you style her hair into ridiculous sights.
whenever you guys were in a meeting or assembly, you, asahina and sakura would crack jokes and giggle together.
both of you have this special greeting where you jump and high-five, most of the time sakura just stands with her hand up though.
TOKO FUKAWA - pretends to find you insufferable but relates to you
"i g-guess freaks talk to f-freaks, don't they...?"
at first she'd try to act like togami around you. avoiding you and giving you the "ew" look.
but later on she'd find herself warming up to you and doing small little affectionate tasks like bringing you a glass of water.
goes by the "if i do this for you, you will do this for me" sorta thing.
so she fetches you that glass of water (even if you didn't ask for it), you'll have to get her a glass of water or juice too next time.
sometimes you'd also help her chase byakuya, just for fun, and a way to relieve your anxieties.
you guys may or may not get too crazy and start a food fight, targetting each other and byakuya.
you both cower away when it comes to social interactions
BONUSES ;; TENKO CHABASHIRA & MIKAN TSUMIKI
Tumblr media
TENKO CHABASHIRA - becomes more overprotective of you
"i have to defend you from the degenerate males, stay behind me, s/o!"
whenever anyone, especially the guys, approaches you, she'd jump into action and scare them away.
if you wanna talk to anyone of your guy friends, you'll have to distract her or send her away.
you two would toss small snacks into each others' mouth such as gummies or little candies and make a game of it. never hard candy though, since you guys don't wanna injure each other.
if any guy harassed you, they are going to the afterlife once tenko finds out.
you both do crazy things such as destroying a vending machine just to steal it's contents without paying.
she'd also invite you to watch himiko do magic tricks, but no guys allowed, okay?
since sometimes you can be really clueless and naive, tenko scans the place to look for any guys or suspicious people and hesitates to leave you alone to either run an errand, check on yumeno or use the bathroom.
also, whenever you're using the bathroom, tenko stands outside the toilet door, guarding it with her arms crossed and legs spread.
MIKAN TSUMIKI - worries more about you and becomes more clingy
"s/o! w-what happened?! who did this- or-or did you fall? eek! i'm sorry!"
would occasionally check on you and knock on your room door to a point where it gets sorta creepy and annoying.
you'll have to tell her that you're fine, and you won't die within' 10 seconds when she's off elsewhere.
well since you do tend to do crazy things beyond your control, she knows you're gonna get hurt eventually.
and you do.
when you get injured or hurt, you won't have to head to her office, since well... the nurse will come to you automatically.
though she'd be crying, fearing you were going to die or something dramatic.
"i'm so sorry s/o!! i should've ran quicker- don't leave me!!"
if it is serious and you end up blacking out, somebody else would have to give you medical attention since mikan would be sulking in the bathroom, washing her face over and over again.
she's touch-starved, but is always too shy and scared to ask for hugs.
whenever you guys are in assembly, she'll hold your hand and squeeze it. she relaxes herself knowing you're there, right next to her.

If I may…
Please please please please infodump about the fairy’s, I’ve never watched that movie and would love to hear your ideas for them in mha, so go wild!
What do they do, where did they come from, do they have special abilities depending on which student they have, how they work, relationships with the students, etc!
Cookies? 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
-✨anon✨
AH! Okay, so I suck at explaining things BUT I will try my best.
Okay, so I'll go through the students that I've already made faires for, which in hindsight is only like 7 of them (Izuku, Katsuki, Kirishima, Denki, Shoto, Ochako and Iida) since i have an incredibly short intention span so if this comes out a bit late then I'm sorry.
Okay. So, in the Barbie princess charm movie they say that 'the fairies are to act as student's person assistants.'. But I thought that seemed kinda soulless, for their only purpose to just serve humans, i think thats a bit weird.
So, I made a solution for this. Since U.A is a school were teens learn to become heroes I thought that fairies could have multiple jobs, one of which would be becoming pro-heroes personal Assistants, like a tiny sidekick. So, the fairies at U.A are all also teenagers, they wanted to go there to learn how to work as pro-heroes assistants. So, at the start of the year fairies are assigned to a student where they will be that students personal assistant, this helps both parties as the fairies get used to working with the heroes in training and vice versa. (Also, yes in the universe there ARE laws against fairy abuse. Also that can get you suspended from U.A ect.)
Where they come from can be debated, typically fairies come from the forest or whatever. I like to think that fairies existed before humans and they had been living in peace for YEARS so when humans started to grow in amount at first fairies did try to stay hidden but quickly realized that if they did that then humans would most likely freak out when finding them. So, at some point, probably around the 1600s fairies revealed themselves to humans although fairies didn't really get real rights until the 1900s (cause humans are weird like that.) As humanity and fairyity (?) evolved some fairy families decided to stay living in the forest whilst others moved into human cities with specially made houses by the government.
Okay, I am NOT good when it comes to staying consistent with stuff so in gonna go into specific fairies now. Also, I SUCK at making names, so they don't actually have names yet 😅 but most things are worked out..
Anyway, here's Izuku and Katsuki for now cause I'm incredibly tired but I might do more, but for now these are the two that I've worked on the most
Izuku Midoriya
Okay, so again I don't have a name but her general appearance is 'She has a petite figure as do most fairies. Her skin is a soft lilac colour. Her hair is a dark greyish purple, it's long and silky and straight. It reaches her mid-back. She has long curtain bangs and a small ahoge. She has freckles across her nose and baby blue eyes.'
Additionally; 'Shes around 3.4 inches tall, which makes her shorter than average since most fairies are around 3.7 inches to 4.2 inches tall. Her wings are delicate, thin enough to see through, they are tinted a crystal blue colour. She can fly with them although, just like legs, her wings can get tired if she flies for a long period of time.'
I LOVE designing female outfits, so she doesn't have a set outfit but here are some ideas; (picrew credits at the bottom of the page)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, personality wise, she is like a puppy, curious, energetic ect. She is obsessed with humans, she thinks they are the most interesting creatures alive. She finds simple humans things fascinating like cats and fans, since her family was one of the ones who stayed living in the forest..so, she literally was only told about humans existence when she was like 12, so you better believe she was amazing with the concept of pro-heroes, so being a fairy she went to a school where she could train to be the next best thing (or the closest a fairy could be anyway).
Again, in terms of names. I don't have one. PLEASE give me suggestions so far I've thought of stuff like; Ivy or Liliac
Anyway, Izuku, this man 100% knows EVERYTHING about fairies, he did his research. He knows U.A students get a fairy assistant, he has done SO much research on fairies history, customs, mannerisms ect. And you better believe he is incredibly gentle when he has to hold or pick up one of the fairies, he's also done his research on the best ways to hold a fairy to avoid hurting their wings ect. He also has a notebook dedicated to them and each fairy he meets in U.A gets their own page because of course they do. He also happy to answer any questions his fairy might have about humans.
He was awkward at first, being around someone so small did worry him slightly. Although, over time he got more comfortable around her, he asks he questions about fairies all the time. Unlike most people, his fairy actually likes listening to his rants and mumblings. Since his fairy is incredibly energetic and active, she barely ever settles down. So instead of sitting on his shoulder or in his pocket like most faires, she tends to just fly close to him, taking in her surroundings. She also has a tendency to wander off.
Okay, this is all I can think of rn for these two (any questions feel free to ask, my ask box is always open <3)
Katsuki Bakugou
(Not even gonna lie he's one of my favorites, I think hes one of the funniest characters on the entire show.)
Okay. So appearance wise; 'She has a petite figure, as do most fairies. He's skin is paper white, she has deep red eyes and curly reddish auburn hair, she has a side part and her hair goes down just to the middle of her neck. Her ears are pointy like elf ears, she has a small fangs. She also has small black earrings. Her wings are thicker than average, so she can fly for longer than most fairies, he wings are tinted pink. She is 3.9 inches tall, which is around average height for a fairy her age.'
Again, outfit ideas! <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personality wise, she is incredibly sassy and sarcastic. She loves stupid people, genuinely. She loves hanging around with stupid people and just kinda watching them, she thinks it's great. (Aka mostly Denki.)
Okay. Katsuki. You better believe that man did NOT want a fairy. I mean he already hates other humans helping him nevermind a literal two inch tall fairy flying around trying to help him, how weak did U.A think he was to assign him a fairy to help him? Jesus. Luckily for him, his fairy couldn't be happier leaving him alone to help himself. After all, she really only wants to be a pro-heroes sidekick to watch all the fights go down, see how much blood gets drawn, y'know?
Surprisingly, Katsuki let's her sit on his shoulder throughout the day...then again unsurprisingly he sucks at holding and picking up fairies he's always too rough or aggressive. So most of the time she just flies around him and sits on his shoulder by herself instead of relying on him to literally carry her everywhere, which works out great since it would annoy the hell out of him if she did.
Also, they 100% gossip together and talk shit about other people whenever they're alone. Bonus points for the fact that she can fly near his ear when he's walking and whisper insults about the other people walking by.
Okay! Picrew link: https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1553437
It's made by AlliMocha <3
OKAY, so I had to rush this a little bit so sorry if it's a bit short :(
Anyway, PLEASE help me make names for these guys. This is also the first time anyone has asked me about any of my ideas ever so thanks so much for that <3
Again my ask box is always open so if there's anything that you guys want me to clarify or add on I would be 100% happy to do so <3

The Haruaki Student Arc Post
Tumblr media
In other words: “Haruaki has a weird dream and I read way too much into it”
It’s only 2 chapters, pretty short to be called an arc, but I call it an arc anyway since it’s got enough material I thought about and wrote all of this.
Also I’ve been reading up on stuff to make the Kyoto arc post and it's kinda driving me insane so this is like a brain cleanser.
All opinions, theories etc are my own, if it’s not explicitly shown in the manga it’s my own extrapolation.
This is over 3800 words, and more coherently written than the Renren arc post, so buckle in.
Spoilers for chapter 79 and 80, I recommend you pull up those two chapters on wherever you read manga for the full experience, and also pull up whatever other chapters I mention.
OP talks about Monogatari series for a minute
My first impression of these two chapters was that it’s very similar to Zoku Owarimonogatari, in that both are “MC is the same, but trapped in a world where everyone else behaves differently”. Of course, it’s very different once you actually get into it, in Zoku Owari it’s that everyone else’s hidden parts are on full display, whereas here it’s just a slight dynamic change due to Haruaki being aged down a few years. Despite that, I think both of these serve similar purposes in the narrative, as a reflection on the MC through the lens of the other characters, and also a reaffirming of who they are as people.
(If you haven’t seen Monogatari series, it’s really good, or maybe it’s just because I like ahoge idiots?)
Anyway, the chapter, huh
Tumblr media
Interestingly, or rather obviously, it starts in almost the exact same way as chapter 33, with the students going to play somewhere and Haruaki feeling left out. In some sense, this arc is a “Prying into Haruaki’s Problem” part 2, tackling the problem from the students’ angle instead of the teachers’ angle.
This arc gives me so many emotions, he’s still hung up about this even after all this time (crying punching walls etc I care him so much)
Notably though, he’s been through a lot more at this point compared to chapter 33, namely the events of ch33 itself, Miki arc, Ebisu’s introduction, also the whole Renren arc.
You can really see this in how much better he takes stuff in the first pages of ch79 than in ch33, how much more open he and Miki and Hatanaka are. Reading back ch33 now, it’s really become clear how Miki and Hatanaka were tiptoeing around Haruaki in their own way. (Well, also because this is before Miki ironed out his own feelings about this whole thing)
Tumblr media
It’s also fascinating that he says this in ch33, because the fact this arc happens shows that he clearly has not come to terms with this as much as he thinks he has. Haruaki’s such an interesting character to me for this reason, he’s clearly a smart guy, but even knowing about your own feelings objectively, you can’t do anything about it.
“Haruaki!!”
Clearly, the first sign that it’s not the real Sano would be this.
Tumblr media
I translate from the Chinese version, so it wasn’t immediately obvious this happened, since Chinese doesn’t have furigana and doesn’t differentiate “Haruaki” and “Seimei”. In early chapters they used “清明” (as opposed to “晴明”, they have slightly different readings) for “Seimei” but ultimately they dropped that. Actually, “清明” is the word for qingming festival, or tomb sweeping day, so that’s kinda cute.
Anyway, I bring this up because I only looked at the JP raws after fully reading the chapters in CN, and for a moment I was exhilarated that Sano called him “Haruaki”, and then I remembered it’s a fake Sano.
This first scene in the dream is also a clue, because in the real world Sano and Mame are rooming, and neither of them would have it any other way.
I wonder if one of Haruaki’s grievances is also his loneliness in university, since Amaaki went to a different uni to study shrine stuff, Haru probably roomed alone. (This is in a twitter comic I haven’t translated yet)
Hijita talking to Haruaki
This is a very minor thing, but if you’ll recall, Hijita is introduced as hating humans because his sister’s husband has his shit together. He ends up changing his mind and being okay with Haruaki because he’s such a pathetic meow meow.
(If you look at early chapters, you can really see which details were put in later, like how Hijita says the only humans he knows are his sister’s husband and his family, but Beniko has 3 human dads)
(Also, the detail that Haruaki “didn’t know youkai existed before now”, but he’s seen mandragoras before, also small Miki, also the creepy lady dragging Ame away, also Ame says he “fibs about seeing strange creatures all the time”. Crack answer would be he’s an airhead who doesn’t connect any dots, crack taken seriously would be he has some kind of mental issues or coping mechanism either from being Abe no Seimei’s reincarnation or not being taken seriously all the time and possible bullying, the essay for which I’ll never write because I’m not good at understanding people/characters.)
Anyway, it’s really probably just a throwaway line, if we really take it seriously probably something similar happened in this fake universe.
Mame is the MVP of this manga
Have I mentioned Mame is the MVP of this manga? No because I just realised it writing this essay. This manga straight up would not exist without Mame. First of all, I’m pretty sure he’s the student who talks to Haruaki the most, as much as or even more than Sano. If they’re in the same scene, Mame’s probably saying something to Haruaki.
Tumblr media
(All these are just from flipping through chapters for a minute, mostly volume 1)
The second line he ever says, 4 pages into chapter 1, is asking Sano if he’s going to help Haruaki when they see him getting harassed.
In chapter 1, Sano did go up to reassure Haruaki of his own volition, but I’m sure the entire reason he decided to do that and isn’t more of a brooding emo teen is because he’s been friends with Mame.
(There's an interesting throughline here, the parallel between Mame and Sano befriending Haruaki, and Hatanaka and Miki befriending him. The “emo loner with trauma” and “extrovert animal youkai bff”)
Mame also started the biology club, which = mandragoras.
Also, Hatanaka and by extension Miki only became teachers because of Mame.
In other words, Mame really is the mascot character.
Dodgeball
This part’s a callback to chapter 5, where Sano and Haruaki do basketball combat, it even reuses the same sailor uniform joke!
Tumblr media
Again, Mame’s on Haruaki’s side instead of Sano’s, a clear but super missable clue.
I do wonder how exactly the makuragaeshi’s fake Sano works, is it just the makuragaeshi wearing Sano’s appearance, or was a Sano of this AU created, that the makuragaeshi is just piloting? Most of this Sano’s behavior is too Sano™ for someone who doesn’t even know what name he calls Haruaki, methinks.
(Or he just called him “Haruaki” to flatter him? Sure got to me for a moment.)
This page
Tumblr media
What can I even say? This page just destroys me. This manga is a masterpiece
Izuna-kun and Rintarou-kun
Right, now we get into the detective part of this essay. I have to respect the makuragaeshi for this (and also Tanamai-sensei) that it’s not just “dream world where Haruaki gets everything he wants”.
Tumblr media
(Imagine I’m like this)
The entire reason I’m taking these 2 chapters seriously is that the makuragaeshi seemed surprised at all the changes ageing down Haruaki caused, so there’s more to it than “haha wacky dream world”.
I can’t help but wonder if Hatanaka in this universe is way harsher than in the real world, and if there’s a reason why.
Compare this to him being all buddy buddy with Mame and Tamao in Yoseito, as well as him being one of the first ones to warm up to Haruaki in the earliest chapters.
This is a fascinating thing to consider as well, because I reckon the reason Hatanaka gave Haruaki a chance was that Miki gave Haruaki a chance, but Miki had ulterior motives. I’d even hazard that Miki arc was planned to happen from the very beginning.
Tumblr media
Biggest thing in this chapter about Hatanaka, that’s pointed out twice, is that he’s not married to Ibara. (He doesn’t have the scarf and doesn’t have a ring) Which also means he doesn’t have kids. I bet having a wife and kids would mellow him out some and make him tolerate students more.
Miki is also extra prickly, which is understandable, but in ch53 we see him react to Ebisu knowing about his family matters, and he doesn’t explode like he does in this chapter. Of course, there’s different parts to the equation, Miki would be more careful about what he does in front of a god than a human, but I think it’s interesting to consider.
If Haruaki was aged down, Hatanaka and Miki would not have met him on their 2nd year school trip, but it’s not like that was a formative experience for the 3 of them anyway. Maybe it was for Sano, but Sano’s totally out of the equation for this analysis, obviously.
On the topic of Sano, Ebisu doesn’t show up at all this arc. In the real world, Ebisu spies on Hyakki primarily for Sano, and Haruaki is only secondary. The reason he’s even aware of Haruaki is the TV program he did in ch17, and also meeting him in Tokyo when he got lost in ch36 to ch38, which is kinda connected to meeting him 9 years prior when little Sano gave Haruaki the talisman.
All of this would not have happened if Haruaki was aged down. He still might have gotten lost on that field trip and ended up in Kyoto, but the timing would not have lined up with Hatanaka and Miki’s school trip.
Intermission
I’m realising this Just Now, but the dream doesn’t happen at the same time of year as the real world.
Tumblr media
They’re wearing the winter uniform in the dream (gakuran for the boys, long sleeves for the girls) which would be for October until the end of May.
Whereas the students are still in their summer uniforms in the real world (blue button up for boys, short sleeves for girls). Even for the Kyoto arc after this which definitely happens in October, they’re still not in winter uniforms, just sweater vests over the summer uniform.
This is also why the last time we see students in gakuran in the manga proper is chapter 7, even though the unbuttoned gakuran is such a delinquent look.
If I had to guess, I’d say the dream is set super early in the school year rather than after October.
In that case, this would have been before the field trip to Tokyo happened anyway, timeline-wise.
Intermission over
Miki’s situation is interesting to consider, because Haruaki was a lot more involved with him.
First of all, his mom is still sealed, so it can be assumed not much has changed about Abe no Seimei 1000 years ago.
With Haruaki aged down, he wouldn’t have met Miki when they were 10, because Haruaki would have been like, 1 year old, not at the age he would go jaunting around to the next prefecture over.
This means Miki wouldn’t have had to see Haruaki get totally murdered! Hooray!
A slight tangent. The chapter title for Miki arc is “Abe no Seimei, Haruaki Abe and Shutendouji”. Have you ever wondered how it was written in the original? No? Come on, have some curiosity.
Tumblr media
It uses the same kanji for Abe no Seimei and Haruaki Abe, but it has 2 lines of furigana. How many other mangas get to do this? Man.
That aside, this still doesn’t explain anything, in fact the Miki in this universe is even more prickly than the real Miki. This Miki actually reminds me of the real Miki when he learned his mom was going to be unsealed.
Actually, now that I think about it, even without the trauma of seeing his new friend get eaten, he would have been an outcast at school either way for being the shutendouji’s kid.
The thing I’m hung up on mostly is Ibara. Given that “the true nature of people haven’t changed” and all, if Hatanaka and Ibara both exist, pretty good chance they would have gotten married. So, indulge me on these 2 crack theories! Don’t take anything too seriously, I’m not taking anything seriously.
Crack theory 1: Time travel real
EDIT Feb 2023: wrote a post about hatanaka time travel, go read that.
This has to do with the whole subplot in Yoseito where Yamazaki recognised Hatanaka from 100 years ago, and also Ibara recognised him. My pet theory, because it’s the easiest and most obvious one, is that there’s time travel shenanigans involved, basically the Hatanaka from a future point in the main story ended up in the past. Now, because this is a reality where Haruaki is the same age as Hatanaka and a teacher, and he’s also the number 1 causer of shenanigans, it probably has something to do with him.
Conversely, if Haruaki isn’t the same age as Hatanaka and causing shenanigans, the events from 100 years ago might be different, and Ibara wouldn’t be as inclined to notice Hatanaka and get married eventually.
That said, this is a crack theory based off another crack theory, so nothing holds water here really.
Crack theory 2: Ibara is dead
This was actually the first conclusion I came to, because my default thought process is “but what if dead?”.
This might sound insane, but I have reasons. (I think.)
It all comes back to the “their true natures haven’t changed” thing, that if Hatanaka and Ibara both exist, they would have gotten together.
It’s not a world where Ibara never existed in the first place, because Miki is a teacher after all. Mame pushed Hatanaka to become a teacher, but he might have let Miki convince him not to if Ibara wasn’t there to convince Miki as well.
So if Ibara died at some point, it would be within the 8 years between Miki’s high school years and present day.
We know that Miki’s mom has been eating his spirit energy. I also wonder if eating Haruaki/Seimei’s soul had some averse effects on Mikimom, like delaying her seal getting nearly broken by a couple years.
While Ibara is the strongest of the Miki siblings, Mikimom is still considerably stronger. She also seems to be the most willing to put herself on the line for Miki.
I guess, what I’m getting at is, something happened with Miki and their mom, and Ibara ended up dead because of it, also explaining why he’s so much more prickly at his mom being mentioned.
So anyway
Fun thought experiment, right? Like I said, it’s stupid crack theories, don’t take either of them too seriously.
Most of this mystery comes from not knowing the details of how Hatanaka and Ibara got together exactly, as well as not enough details about Ibara herself, so I imagine this will get cleared up at some point. Hatanaka being maidenless was such a big detail that it was specifically pointed out and highlighted, so I wanted to explore it for a bit.
That was a lot of words about the teachers, so I want to go back and look at the students for a bit.
Some of the obvious changes would be Beniko being a shut-in, since in the real world Haruaki directly caused her to come back to school. Straightforward.
Fuji and Ogoso aren’t friends since ch35 didn’t happen.
Tumblr media
From that panel in the classroom we actually learn the seating arrangement of the Ogata twins (previously, both seats were just labelled “Ogata” in the tweet with the seating arrangement), Rin (black hair) sits behind Kou.
Tumblr media
Also from that classroom panel, Haruaki is sitting in Hijita’s seat, probably not for any reason other than it’s a nice central location. The person behind him whose hair you can barely see is probably Maeda, Satsuki either isn’t in class yet or at all.
Though on the next page it seems like he’s actually in the front row seat, where Nyuudou normally sits.
Where is Dr. Takahashi
The burning question. WHERE IS HE. WHERE IS MY MALEWHORE- I mean uh doctor!!
This also entirely has to do with Utagawa and Nyuudou, which is brought up in the chapter itself, but it goes even deeper than purely “Takahashi made Utagawa’s human form”.
The only thing that’s confirmed is that “Takahashi is not a doctor”, whether this means Takahashi doesn’t exist at all or simply has a different job, I’m not sure. I actually thought the policeman near the end of ch80 is Takahashi, since Tanamai sensei has drawn Takahashi and Yamazaki clothes swap before, but it’s not certain.
If Takahashi isn’t a doctor, Nyuudou’s parents wouldn’t have had that conversation with him about human mothers and youkai children, and he wouldn’t have made that remark about youkai and human laws, which means Nyuudou’s dad wouldn’t have been pushed to get involved in politics.
“Whether they exist was changed” is coupled with Saitou Manuel becoming minister of the ministry of youkai, so I’m not sure if this is trying to imply that Nyuudou doesn’t exist or his dad doesn’t exist.
Well… either case then, Nyuudou doesn’t exist, and Utagawa Ruri wouldn’t have met him. Even if she died then, she wouldn’t have the regrets that caused her to turn into a gashadokuro. Or maybe she’s still alive as a human in this universe! It’s only stated that her “birth condition left her frail”, so there’s a chance she wouldn’t have died.
There’s also the chance that Nyuudou does exist, just that Renka ended up in a different hospital than Ruri. Takahashi had connections with the director of the hospital Renka stayed at, and had his nurses placed there, so there’s a good chance he pulled strings to have Renka there to better keep an eye on her condition.
Still, that doesn’t explain why Nyuudou isn’t in class 2-3, so I’m inclined to believe he doesn’t exist in this universe. Maybe they went to a different doctor who convinced Renka to abort.
Or maybe Hajime and Renka didn’t get married at all, for some reason? idk
The principal mentions the youkai ministry’s push for coexistence, but the reason for that in the real world is Hajime wanting a better world for his son, so what would be the reason in this universe?
See, even after, or perhaps because of, Renren’s arc, there’s still so many mysteries.
None of this answers why Takahashi has a different job/doesn’t exist either, Takahashi not being a doctor is just the catalyst for the whole Nyuudou family mystery.
If Takahashi doesn’t exist for some reason, it would explain why Yamazaki isn’t a policeman, considering the reason he got an upbringing at all was that he was basically adopted by the Takahashi family.
Still. This is like THE biggest mystery. This has haunted me ever since I first saw this arc.
Principal and Ranmaru
Just kidding this is the biggest mystery.
In the real world, the principal is actually super open about Haruaki’s powers and why he wants him here. However, in this universe he seems especially ticked off by Haruaki mentioning it, something Ranmaru points out specifically.
Tumblr media
And Ranmaru as well, in the real world he wasn’t even aware Haruaki existed until physically meeting him in ch21, so nothing should have been able to change him creating the karasu tengu troupe.
Granted, the troupe seems to have been a recent thing he came up with, and not hundreds of years old. Still, in this universe, the principal trusted him enough to hire him?
I just… don’t know what to make of this at all? We still know so little about the principal and Ranmaru, even now. Maybe when Kyoto arc is over I’ll return to this with answers.
Anyway, Ranmaru is the homeroom teacher of 2-5 here, which is interesting because 2-5 is the only class whose homeroom teacher we don’t actually know. (obviously it’s not Ranmaru in the real world, but y’know)
Class 1 is Hatanaka, 2 is Miki, 3 is Haruaki, 4 is Mouse-sensei, and 6 is Awayama (the centaur). 5 is probably the nurikabe teacher, considering we see him hanging out with the other second year teachers.
Ranmaru’s probably 2-5 just so he wouldn’t replace a character we know and raise more questions.
Tumblr media
Woe, this diagram be upon ye. I made this back when I translated the chapters, so it’s not an exact 1-to-1 of this post, but the rough ideas are there. Now that I look at it, what the hell are some of these points? Just consider this a peek into my brain, I guess.
Fake Sano-kun
Tumblr media
(Harusano handholding...)
This just FEELS like a callback to camp, combining both Sano catching Haruaki and Tamao exposing Yamazaki’s Nyuudou. Although the makuragaeshi’s fake Sano is actually a lot more convincing than Yamazaki’s Nyuudou. Every other sentence Yamazaki said was out of character for Nyuudou, from leaving Tamao behind to loredropping about youkai and ghosts.
The makuragaeshi’s Sano was a lot more convincing in contrast, the only things giving him away were insulting Mame at the end and also Mame himself. Granted, he said a lot less than Yamazaki, so that’s the secret to a good impersonation really. Funny, since the impersonation that was pulled off the best was Amaaki in the Renren arc, the combination of Amaaki knowing Haruaki well, as well as not talking that much, and also Kurai’s hubris. And also Haruaki coming up with that genius double impersonator plan, because nobody expects 2 impersonators.
To you, who became a teacher
Tumblr media
I can only DREAM that I managed to convey these two pages as eloquently as the original (and the Chinese version) did, and I’m looking forward to the official translation so I can bawl my eyes out over these two pages all over again.
Tumblr media
(I wrote these messages while translating these two pages)
I love the way this manga just answers philosophical dilemmas so straightforwardly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Of course, the only reason he was able to say all this is because of all the work he put in, all the work he saw his students put in, and isn’t that what living means? Are you not just the sum total of your experiences, of all your hard work? Isn’t it worth it to live in the real world for the sole reason that you crafted it with your own hands?
I just think these 2 chapters are Phenomenal, Amazing, Life Changing, this is up there in my favorite chapters along with ch33. I love that even though the premise is a dream, it follows set rules and opens up interesting ideas and questions. It’s also such an important arc to reaffirm who Haruaki is as a person, and a prelude/setup to the Kyoto arc.
Thank you for reading all this, and I hope it made sense, as well as made you love these two chapters as much as me. Let me leave you with the inner color page of volume 12.
Tumblr media
See you in the Kyoto arc post, I guess? I imagine that one will be a lot less narrative-focused than this one, and more focused on the history of Kyoto as well as Japanese mythology in general.

👫 - you know i have to ask about Archer and his Favorite Student lol
{Send👫and I'll give you four headcanons about our muses.}
Archer very clearly remembers the day Silver was born. Ariana had to be taken and hidden away for a time because, in those days, the Rockets that were still loyal to Madame Boss would have done anything to get their hands on Giovanni's mistress and illegitimate heir-- not to mention the legal authorities who would have taken Ariana into custody if they'd known of her allegiances. As such, Archer arranged for a place to take and hide the pregnant young woman. He stayed with Ariana of his own accord during the last few days of her pregnancy (partly because Giovanni had business elsewhere, partly because of a morbid fascination with being present for his mentor's son, and partly because he actually respected Ariana and knew she'd be alone otherwise) and he offered a calming presence to the distraught administrator as she panicked in her late-stage-pregnancy-hormone-addled mindset. To Archer, there was nothing particularly fantastic or fascinating about the actual moment of Silver's birth and nothing fundamentally changed in him upon hearing the boy's cries when he took his first breath. However, it's a moment he's never allowed himself to forget.
Archer has a very hard time separating "this is the tiny brat who used to kick my shins when he was a four-year-old terror" and "this is the grown man I've taken under my wing" sometimes. Not because he doesn't take Silver seriously nowadays or because he holds a grudge against the boy, but because there's such a drastic change between the boy he watched grow up and man he's decided to trust with Rocket's future. He understands, of course, that children grow up and people change (after all, look at all the changes he's made in this timeline where he's willing to give Rocket up to anyone, let alone Giovanni's son) but he still sees that furious determination and stubborn grimace on Silver's face from time to time that reminds him so much of the boy that he forgets there's a man in his place.
Long after Silver learns how to (finally...) tie his own tie, Archer still makes a habit of doing it for him/fixing it to look more in place. I would never sully Archer's reputation by implying it's a submissive thing or that there's any feelings of servitude for Archer (Giovanni treated Archer as an equal and Silver had better expect he demands the same from his new Boss), but he actually doesn't mind being there to pick up little things like that for him. It's his strange way of doting on the boy. In the same way Archer would be there without a spoken word to light Giovanni's cigar, Archer straightens Silver's tie, smooths that insufferable ahoge, or even just opens the door for him. Silver has become something akin to Archer's heir these days (not that Archer would ever think in those terms exactly) and while he's never disrespectful or condescending about these little things, it does amuse him to see Silver's agitated "I'm capable of doing this myself!" responses to it.
Archer despises losing, particularly to young upstarts who oppose everything Rocket exists to accomplish. He never loses that disdain, even as he trains and pushes Silver to-- eventually-- beat him and prove to the others in the organization that he's worthy of taking over Rocket in his stead. As such, he never holds back when they fight. He battles as though his life depends on it because he needs to know that Silver will succeed where Archer has failed in the past. He needs to be able to trust that some semblance of Giovanni's genes are indeed there-- not the vicious disregard for Pokemon, not the desire to rule the world, not even necessarily the charm to sway a crowd, but something that tells Archer and everyone else watching that Silver is the one not to be trifled with and that he is capable of defending Rocket when the time comes.

Whenever there's a debate about Tsumugi's claims, i keep thinking back to the prologue where everyone's outfits sere costumes (even k1-b0's, and i think to myself "where the fuck did the robot come from, he was human before the costume bs"
I don't think we really have evidence that he was human beforehand. We don't really have evidence of much when it comes to Keebo during the prologue. He's kind of a blank slate for your interpretations to run wild.
Tumblr media
What can we say about K1-B0 as he physically exists in the Prologue vs. how he physically exists in the rest of the game?
Well, we know that he's definitely a robot during Chapters 1-6. Given Miu's interactions with him, the way the antenna controlled him, the switch on the back of his head, printing photos out of his mouth, illuminating things with his eyes, ETC., he's definitely a robot or — at the bare minimum — HIGHLY cybernetic.
What about his prologue self? It's clear that various physical features are missing — most notably the large collar with the green readout and the giant ahoge, although the latter is easy to explain. We eventually learn that the ahoge is the antenna that connects him to audience poll opinions on what actions to take, so it makes sense that he wouldn't have that before the game begins no matter what. But aside from those obvious additions, we can also see that he added a codpiece for some reason, and he probably got some new plating just below his shoulders. Also, those bolts on his forearms probably don't fit into the uniform on the left either. So those arm/shoulder features were probably either added or simply "extended" outwards from a previously folded-in/compressed state.
Oh, and there's the lines under his eyes that were added, too, but I don't really think that's worthy of much attention. Those lines could be anything. They could be guyliner for all I know.
He's otherwise the same, though. Most of his proportions are identical, with the chest and legs particularly standing out as carrying the potential to be identical under the uniform as they are in "robot" form.
Now, I don't think there's any chance that he was turned into a robot. I suppose we don't know for sure that "roboticization" doesn't exist in this world, but it seems like that'd be a REALLY FUCKING BIG leap in logic to make. So I'm going to assume that either Keebo was always a robot (and he just got some added features), OR he was a human at the start and was replaced with a robot double. I'll leave it to you to decide whether that robot was truly autonomous or just remote-controlled from a secure location. Hell, maybe the once-human Keebo has had his brain overwritten to believe that he was always a robot, and then his brain was plugged into something that lets him view from the perspective of/remote-pilot his robot self... ? Did I just go too sci-fi? I DON'T KNOW.
If Professor Idabashi really designed him to live among humans and blend in with them, it's easy to imagine that Keebo should naturally look a lot more like the style on the left. But I can just as easily picture Tsumugi wanting him to look blatantly robotic like on the right. So maybe they stripped his clothes off and redesigned elements of him, or maybe they just added some features to make him even more blatantly robot-y. Maybe the green readout on his collar somehow correlates to the audience feedback his ahoge-antenna receives? Heck, maybe the new shoulder plates are what allow him to slot into his upgrade pack in the final chapter — those wings DO seem to jut out from the same vicinity on his shoulders!
But is there any actual evidence that supports the idea that he's a robot in the prologue? Nothing aside from the extreme similarity to his later self, I suppose. And is there any evidence that supports the idea that he's human in the prologue? Well... there is one thing: His skin tone. Although the difference is incredibly small (with a Delta-E value of just 3.7506), prologue Keebo has just a tiny bit more color to his face than the chalky white of main-game Keebo. I think that provides at least some argument for him being human.
However, as I've already written a bunch about how many of Tsumugi's claims in the ending don't make sense — including her claims of totally concocting their talents — I'm inclined the think he's not really that significantly different from how he was in the prologue. So, to me? He was probably always a robot, and she just made it much more blatant.
But I think you could make a case either way. There's just not enough evidence to be sure of either possibility. Essentially? He's whatever you want him to be.

Komaru, have you ever wondered how Genocide Jack/Jill/Syo/etc is borderline indestructible? If I'm not mistaken, not only has she slain almost as many Monokuma's as you, but she's gotten attacked by just as many Monokuma's and walked off without a scratch.
But this is also Toko. Who probably (even with her scissors equipped) has a low defense stat, so to speak. Does that mean by proxy, Toko is indestructible?
Tumblr media
D-don't you dare compare m-me to her! I'm just a weak, and fragile young thing like anyone else!

I was bored, and I thought about how the main trios on both Canon games and the Another series share the same roles:
The Main Character: Makoto, Hajime, Shuichi, "Yuki" and Sora.
The Rival, who the fans always ship with the Main Character: Byakuya, Nagito, Kokichi, Tsurugi and Shobai.
The Canon Romantic Interest, who is important to the plot in some way: Kyoko, Chiaki, Kaede, Akane and Yuki/Yoruko (Those two seem to share that role)
Yes!
There are a lot of parallels / easter eggs in Another that follow the canon structure, one other example being that both Another 2 and DR2 feature a beach party house that is instrumental on the murder.
Another little shout out is, I think, on Yuri design making a call back to Nagito. Notably both of them get a CG with swirly gray x white x black eye, and both beg to be killed and that they would aid a killer (through their purposes are different).
Notably, as a series Danganronpa has its archetypes (MC, Implied LI, The double murder, masterminds, Rival, Muscle characters cant catch a break , Black white mascots, The Idiot^tm, the ???, the AHOGE and each game tries to take its own spin on it.
So it is normal to fangans to take those types and make their own spins on it, which is really cool, and can give way to really creative ideas while keeping up the charm! As well as adding their own new character types.
I do think I would add Rei to the Rival list, since… she mirros a lot Byakuya, and is both a force of disturbance to the “peace” of the students (albeit different from Tsurugi), constantly pokes holes on the “trust each other” mindset, challenges Yuuki (MC) and then is able to develop through the story and be an ally and dear friend to the students (in a similar way Byakuya does).
Interestingly, it is really fun how Another1 takes the Ahoge/MC protagonist archeotype and uses it as a hint to the viewer. A hint that "something is off" from Yuuki first appearance, due to him lacking an Ahoge. And said hint also comes back later in chapter 6, where during the investigation, the photo of the true Yuki used in the registration, has an ahoge while Yuuki doesnt, sinalizing Yuuki position as a fake / false hero.
Further, it is interesting that while Yuuki lacks an ahoge, there is a person in the class who does have it. Tsurugi. His ahoge is tiny, but it is there, which i think was purposeful in a way, in order to again point out something is off with Yuuki (due to someone else having it). Interestingly as well, Linuj flips the arc you would expect for the ahoge bearer, where Tsurugi ends up sinking in despair (ultimadely, i think he is a misture of both archeotypes, with one inversed, but he truly is the built as "the Rival" one)
Overall, I find it really neat to see how they contrast and parallel each other.

[Vayne in Atelier Resleriana's 3D Model Character Showcase Review Part 1] 25 February - 13 March 2024
Tumblr media
Hello~
This… This- this- this- this- This is first time about-about Oh no, i'am mean
Vayne Aurelius got 3D Model Character after 15+ Years!
I was surprised after first react post twitter media is actually retweet by Mana Khemia's Japanese fan, it after Atelier spin-off Nelke appeared at 2018.
I seen Raze got 3D Model Character well, not bad so my react is fine then continue search post another- KYAAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!!!
i was screaming and scared after seen Vayne got 3D Model Character with A DE- Let's see about the second trailer on youtube after reacted post twitter, I was already A first trailer days ago then
My Reaction Result: Ok, how many times have main character female again? Well everyone goes worried and disappointed because a new game is mobile game (also on PC Steam) known the Gacha Game. It worried like previous atelier online.
My eyes… Vayne as appeared in second trailer Oh my gosh...
Tumblr media
I tried use photoshop to edit Flip Horizontal It's better like Mana Khemia Opening Animation now hahahahaha!
Let's review about Vayne 3D model character How handsome boy his face and why his hair so differently than previous official art by Yoshizumi Kazuyuki it always his front hair has left and right, like 2D Sprite mirrored?
Ambidextrous Sprite
I was found search from TV Tropes. I never seen like that but still confused that's why his hair looks different in current official art and fanart too.
In 3D his hair has no longer be mirrored see it confirm his front hair, back hair and he's have big ahoge hair now which his hair is no longer fluffy now so it be like Nomura's favourite spiky haired i think.
Noooooooo….!!
My friend from twitter says: Vayne looks like a wet cat because his hair no longer fluffy anymore, is this remake character design? Oh noo, I need to see looking conpect or reference art reveal so much
Hahahahaha…-hahahahaha…!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's A Full Body and This is Al-Revis Male Uniform reveal is appeared due on Coast (it's before be update photo mode on 7 March, it will update again.)
A Canon Backside is confirmed after 15+ years, i think Al-Revis Male Uniform has jacket, however it's not, I do not know why? It's really remake character design, why Al-Revis Male Uniform had same front and back detail, it curious how and where's removing uniform inside?
If Vayne's Friends be appear in Atelier Resleriana, I wonder to see backside reveal again Not just only that, Other characters like previous Sequel of Salburg, Gramnad and Iris had too. Raze's Friends and Ulrika's Friends, will rival enemies too? I think be lame update because it should be need new redesign character reference, voice actor and more. It's like Pokemon Masters
How Vayne wear black ribbon armor now, where's Sulpher?! I do not know again... what's Vayne armor name? It's first time seen that backside! It's unlikely previous Official Art and Opening Animation too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

This is how look without mirrored his hair Thanks 3D Model Character, he's looks so cool like classic shonen protagonist.
Tumblr media
But why people called he's cute, my boy/mah boi what?! how did word come from?! you don't says about from iconic zelda meme

Niche Danganronpa post:
I don't know when it happened, but somehow, imperceptibly, Hajime became my favorite series protagonist.
When I first booted up Super Danganronpa 2, I laughed out loud at his design. With that ridiculous ahoge and just his whole look, he was like a parody of Makoto, in the same way a lot of things in 2 seem to consciously echo and warp elements of the first. On top of that, I just got this vibe that he was a bit prickly, a bit of a jerk. But the conclusion I've reached now is that he thematically does everything that Makoto does, but in a more interesting and impactful way.
I know there are a lot of problems with Danganronpa 3, but that's where his character really clicked for me, and I think it's such a satisfying conclusion for him:
While Makoto struggles with thinking of himself as average, the series kind of waffles on the issue of whether he got into Hope's Peak by chance, or if his luck is a literal superpower. And it sort of mitigates the power of hope, doesn't it? I mean, it's a lot easier to hold onto hope when probability itself, some mystical unseen hand, conspires to make things work out for you. How do you hold onto hope when there is no divine intervention coming? What if the worst has already come?
Hajime actually is average, and it destroys him. He's at the premier school for the world's most gifted, and he knows that no amount of hard work or determination will ever fill that gap. Chiaki tries to offer him the chance to turn away from this obsession with excellence. Life isn't actually about being the best, it's about your connections and experiences: living a good life with the life you've been given. Let's play games together.
Instead he commits a symbolic suicide by becoming Izuru, because he'd rather be dead than average. And he gets his wish, because Izuru is a spiritual zombie, desiring and loving nothing, trapped in a hell of boredom and inaction.
His friends are much the same. Their Remnant of Despair personas are strangers to the versions of themselves that we meet in the Neo World Program, and their grotesque depictions certainly bring the undead to mind.
But they are not dead. The game ends on the implication that they will forget their experiences in the Neo World Program, but when we meet them again in 3, they have clearly been changed by it. After all of that, they have to figure out how to continue living, knowing everything they've suffered and all the evil that they have done. To me, that is a truer representation of hope than any Makoto Hope speech. Which, frankly is a shortcoming of the series in general. They yell about hope and despair often, but it's usually kind of a pretense for the story, not a coherent thematic statement. Except, perhaps, here.
I also think that's why the "power of friendship" idea rings truer with Hajime. He's made a choice to accept himself and the rest of his class regardless of their dark pasts and uncertain futures. That's why only he could reach out to Ryota, to stop his plan and save his soul. He's one of them.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I dislike Makoto. He's a little cutie. But to me it feels like he's the guy posting inspiration quotes, and Hajime is the person who was in the trenches, shoulder to shoulder with you when things went dark.

🎶I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart (where?), Down in my heart (where?), Down in my heart, I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart (where?), Down in my heart to stay🎶 ✨Joy! Joy! Happiness!✨It’s the best feeling ever! It’s what made Rose immune to Guiltrips powers and be chosen as the holder of Daizzi, The Kwami of the Pig Miraculous, to be Pigella and spread the love of positivity to save her girlfriend Juleka! It’s such a cute power, how could a good power like that be used for evil? Is it possible? Let’s see:
*Jubilation-Marinette was jogging (good for her, it’s nice to see her doing something to stay in shape what with being Ladybug and all and also outside of fashion) when she sees Principal Damocles The Owl, wait, this guy is still doing cosplay!? Sh*t! Didn’t he learn nothing from last time!? (“The Dark Owl”) Guess not!😒 How disappointing. So then Ladybug comes in to-WAIT! (record scratch) That is not Ladybug!
Is that-Is that who I think it is!? (GASP!) OMG! IT’S BRIDGETTE! (Squee) I DON’T BELIEVE IT! IT’S ACTUALLY HER! I KNEW WE’D BE SEEING HER-SOQUELINE!? (record scratch). Huh, well how ‘bout that!? This little Marinette doppelgänger was a former classmate of hers and now she’s LARPing too! Marinette doesn’t take kindly to this (even if Soqueline means well) so she harshly tells both Damocles and Soqueline to quit playing “make believe” and just be normal!
This of course saddens Damocles and he’s akumatized as Dark(er) Owl again, but with the power of The Pig Miraculous that brings happiness to its target. Hmmmm, a frightening Batman-esque villain with a power that brings joy…….how’s that gonna be effective? You’d be surprised! Cuz I think this ep gave us a foreshadowing on the series finale😉. It’s a common tactic villains use to mess with the heroes, magically putting them in a dream like world where everything’s perfect and they’re happy and it all goes according to plan to distract them from a bigger scheme they’re doing and then eventually the heroes realize its all fake, wake up and kick some a**. THAT’S how effective the power of happiness can be used for evil!
I’m impressed with Marinette here. She’s serious about quitting cold turkey on love and has really shelved Adrien and dating all together to focus on more important things in life. She’s still gushing about him, yes, but at least it’s subtle and I’m very proud of her for that. What I’m not so proud of is Damocles being a bird brain over here! The heroes told him not to go “dress up” and save the day cuz he doesn’t have powers like them and could seriously get hurt or worse, but Noooooo! He didn’t listen! :P. Btw, I’m not hating on cosplayers here, I’m just saying he should’ve called the authorities to help instead of doing dangerous things himself like saving cats from high structures. Marinette didn’t mean to be harsh to tell both her principal and friend about playing pretend, but she (secretly) knows first hand what it’s like to take big risks and have a horrible outcome from it (Shadow Moth’s Final Attack Part 1:”Risk”/Part 2:”Strike Back”). False alarm, it’s not Bridgette, it’s just some other girl who vaguely looks like Marinette and runs an arts and crafts shop. For those who don’t know, “Bridgette” was the fan nickname we gave PV Ladybug Marinette cuz since Felix from the PV was retooled as Adrien to be Cat Noir and then later brought back cuz of popular demand (in a disappointing manner), we didn’t want people confusing the two Marinettes cuz her name stayed the same, so PV Ladybug Marinette was fanly nicknamed “Bridgette”. Should’ve known, Bridgette wore shorts and had an ahoge that looked like it was alive and would form into a heart and Soqueline wears glasses and pants. Whether this was their way of bringing “Bridgette” into the show or not, Soqueline seems nice and was only impersonating Ladybug in the hopes of being recruited as a super. We were lucky she knew gymnastics and Taekwondo, otherwise, this would’ve been a disaster for both her and Damocles. I’ve heard people saying they don’t like Gabe/Monarchs new look, and yeah, it’s stupid. His new civilian outfit makes him look like a giant Q-tip and his new villain outfit makes him look like a “giant purple condom”! Bleh! And this guys supposed to be a fashion designer!? We got a more look into the alliance rings and they’re basically a Siri-like gizmo that also works like an smart phone using a digital version of either Adrien or Lila (and specialized for Gabe, Emilie) as a guide. Marinette was almost exposed as Ladybug when she borrowed Soquelines cuz the ring tracked her every route during her crime fighting and that’s why Gabe made those things! Don! Don! Don! Luckily, he thought it was Soqueline, so Marinette stays clear of those rings and Adrien doesn’t give a sh*t about them too cuz since he’s quit modeling, he’s now an everyday Joe playing video games in his jammie’s and leaving junk food everywhere (are they making fun of us Americans!?). Adrien, sweetie, it’s great you gave up modeling at long last, but please, GET A HOBBY! It kinda sucks that even though he quit, there’s a digital version of him still representing the Agreste brand so it’s not like Adrien “quit quit”, cuz it’s still his face modeling! Gabe needs to hire a new teen male model (when he’s not busy being a villain) Seriously! The Kwamies imprisonment is worse than we thought, Monarch’s using the newly redesigned miraculous rings as a fuse source by attaching his rings to their inescapable glass containers, transferring the powers onto anyone who bought an alliance ring to be akumatized with so the hero’s won’t be able to figure out where the miraculous is and dispensing food for the Kwamies to regain energy like they were hamsters! Poor things. What was the “happy” moment Darker Owl made them see? Weeeeeeell, they defeated Monarch by finding A BUSINESS CARD! XD, locating him through the address on it, doing a double single punch on him, saving Paris, falling in love, getting married with every superhero and celebrity in the show and having not 3, but 4 kids and becoming the new Incredibles! Cute. At least, it would’ve if it didn’t happen in a cheesy way.

Heads and Three Tales - Foundation Art and Design Final Project 2022
SUBJECT ONE: BOX APOCALYPSE: ZOMBIE
Box’s origin story is kind of funny. Back in end 2021, I was brainstorming what I wanted to do for my final piece and for some reason, I really wanted to make a picture wearing a box head. But, I could not find a way to create a whole project around this one stupid self portrait idea, so I decided to abandon it. Sort of. Instead of making it a self portrait, I turned the idea into a character. Box was born.
She did not have a name for the longest time. I would just refer to her as ‘box’ and my friends ultimately decided that maybe I should just call her that. And I think it suits her really well. When I look at Box, I can see what inspired me at the time. I was enjoying the idea of a masked killer and the idea of a borderline manic character who was in the grey area when looking at morals. I did not want Box to be the villain, that’s why instead of her hunting you down in the story, she becomes your friend and wants to look after you — calling you “Buttercup” and comparing you to a plushie, something she loves as stated in her profile.
Lydia James-Louwerse - FMP - Digital Sketchbook
Box is probably the most unrealistic character (which makes sense since her story is about zombies). She’s the most fictional out of all three. The only remotely realistic thing about her is her dress which is a real garment that I own. In the very first draft of the plan, she was going to wear the creeper head like in the reference photos I made, but I decided against it. It would have been funny, but I also thought it would come off as lazy — that I could not be bothered to design my own mask. The design for the mask came naturally. I knew I wanted it to have a face with a smile to show off her sunny personality. Yes, she might be borderline manic, but she only dislikes zombies and people who try and hurt her. I wanted to add a bit of mystery to her design and that’s where the idea of removing one of her eyes came from. One trope I despise in fiction is the untouchable, crazy good fighter who does not get hurt. I wanted people to see that she isn’t untouchable. She does feel pain. She is only human.
I knew I wanted to kill off all of the characters in the end. I wanted to show people that in certain situations, you are never better off alone, even if you think you might be. Even though it is said in Box’s profile that she dislikes humans, I believe it is impossible to dislike all humans. I say I hate people sometimes, but I don’t mean it and I know that I don’t mean it. I guess I am just worried I will be hurt by humans. Like Box.
I like Box a lot.
Box’s design was the hardest for me to get right. I think it’s because I knew exactly how I wanted her to look.
Tumblr media
It took me some time to get it right but I finally managed to find a design I was happy with. One thing that I noticed only after I finished designing Grey is all of the characteristics that I ended up removing from Box’s design, I gave to Grey – the piece of fringe that crosses on her forehead and the cowlick which is inspired by ‘Ahoge’ (meaning ‘idiot hair’) from Japanese anime and manga.
Tumblr media
This was the final design that I came up with for Box. I turned this into a lino print which was just going to be for fun but ended up contributing to another piece of my exhibition – the wanted poster. It is mentioned in Box’s story that there is a wanted poster of her and I thought it would be fun to make this poster in real life and stick it around the building to add to that immersive experience.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These were the first reference photos I took when I was designing Box. As you can see, not a lot has changed except the design on the box and the cut of the dress. I was going to have her box head be a Creeper from Minecraft but decided against it as I thought it would ruin the immersion by having something from our world.

You know ur small predicament post?? you should make a reverse version where s/o is smaller!
A Smaller Predicament [Genshin Impact x Smol!Reader]
Tumblr media
Characters: Scaramouche, Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, Xiao, Zhongli, Albedo
Synopsis: Not only did you shrink, you went pocket sized as well!
(A sequel to "A Small Predicament")
(A/n): Sorry for the long wait anon, and I kind of added a twist to the scenario for more diversity hahaha hope you don't mind >_<. And why is Childe the poster boy for this series lmao.
------------
Childe
When Childe walks in, he doesn't see you....until he looked down. He almost crunched you beneath his feet if it weren't for your constant flailing of arms and screeching voice. He blanks out for a hot minute as you clung onto his toes, doesn't dare to move an inch because he's so petrified (even though there's nothing to be afraid of??). But honestly if Childe moved right now, he might accidentally flail you to the side and that's the last thing he wants.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??" He screamed so loud it nearly blew you out of proportion. Seems like he's going to have alot of adjusting to do. Childe is a tall man (canonically the tallest) and he knows how impulsive he can get which is why he bought a handmade dollhouse from one of the Liyue merchants for you to stay in.
Though there's something about your tiny size that makes his heart flutter. With your face so small with a pair of eyes far too big, *clutches chest* "My oujo-chan is so cute" -Childe probably. He won't stop saying them over again and you were growing tired of his gushing reactions. He can't help it. He wants to spoil you rotten. You fit right onto the flat of his palms, the way you just snuggle up againts his finger and he just- swoons, might tear up (bruh).
Toys may be for kids but for Childe it was now his favourite pass time. While you navigate around the wooden dollhouse, he pitches in by moving around the furniture to make it easier for you. Offers to carry you through the rooms like a personal elevator. And please, please let him tuck you to bed. He has to pinch his fingers to grab the blanket. It's so adorable to him.
Loves it when you snuggle up against his collar. He thinks it would be the best area for you to be nearby him since the risk of you getting hit by anything (or him) by accident is very slim chance. Sometimes he pulls up his collar so that you're more comfortable and cradled within. He would have to avert his eyes down rather than turning his head if he wanted to look at you otherwise you'd be hit by his chin and that would hurt.
The poking sensation with you by his neck can bother him since he's veeeery tickilish there. Plus, Childe can get easily sweaty so have fun with that.
You have a feeling that he wasn't so pleased when you transformed back. You might be right. Actually, you are right. He secretly has an extra potion hidden somewhere...just in case.
Diluc
Mortified, his soul just left his body. To think things couldn't get any worse ever since he turned into a child to the point no one took him seriously, now you're literally the size of an apple. Oh god what if his bird suddenly swoops in and gobbles you right up? Or the wrath of the wind comes by, swirling you away towards a tornado. Needless to say, Diluc grew paranoid over your well-being ever since.
Due to your extremely small size, he will ensure that you are supervised by him (except at night where he has places to go). In otherwords, you're slipped into the inner pocket of his coat. It's super warm, you can fall asleep (and feel his heartbeat awww). Diluc doesn't like keeping you in places where people can see you, it would be too easy for outer things to access your tiny form (or maybe he secretly likes the feeling of you in his pocket.)
And he's such a gentleman about it. You noticed how careful he moves among his footsteps because he's worried that you might get dizzy. Diluc guards the pocket at close parameter, keeping an eye on things so he won't bump into them. As if he was treading on thin ice (you even suggested it was best to leave you home but he's too overprotective for his own good).
You're like his little assistant. Diluc does so much paperwork through out the day and although the act was small, he finds it endearing how you would help bring the papers back to it's rightful pile or pushing the ink bowl towards him. Or during his shifts at Angel's Share, crawling around the glass utensils and trying to find a specific wine beverage on his shelf. Of course that only happens when the shop is closed, how is he going to explain to his patrons that you shrank and now live in his pocket?
He dislikes the thought of you wandering too far. It's so easy for you to get lost especially when the mansion is so large.
At night you now sleep atop the fluff of the pillow. Diluc is a calm sleeper so he won't have to worry about hitting into you. However he radiates warmth so you just subconicously roll towards to his face. He usually wakes up with you sprawled over his nose. He can hardly breath (careful, he might just sneeze too).
This all happened because of the experiements you participated with Albedo. Diluc ensures that doesn't happen again. It will take some tencaious effort to convince him otherwise.
Scaramouche
Fuck this guy. He treats you like his new pet, a new toy (though you technically are one). He has this arrogant, smug and sadistic look as if he was a predator looking at his prey and grabs you by the collar before dangling you up in the air.
"Hmph, looks like the tables have turned," he says while toying with your state. You tell him he's just angry because he's short himself and mad that everyone else in the Fatui organization is taller than him. Scaramouche demon face activated. He's about to devour you. (Maybe you should keep your mouth shut this time. Honestly your relationship with him is pretty weird).
His hat is so fun to play with. You'd swing around like Tarzan using the strings that were hanging from it. His head was your playground now which annoys him to an enourmous extent because it makes him look ridiculous. Scaramouche will have a hard time catching you since you move around so much. Climb around him, especially the back of his neck. He'll start wheezing when you tickle him there.
The type to put you in a box but also the type to keep you on his shoulders. Being relied on makes him feel taller (lmfao). Scaramouche seemse to have developed a habit to poke your cheeks whenever he needed your attention and you bit him back once when he pushed too hard that you nearly fell off. Despite your size, your teeth still hurt. He threatens to put you back into the box if you don't behave and the outcome ends with a full out brawl as he tries to grab you again while you run around, pulling the strands of his hair to climb on top of his hat. (This is literally Tom and Jerry wtf.)
After transforming back, he outwardly admits his disappointmen. Scaramouche says it suits you better (when he actually meant that he highly prefers you small). You marked his words, keeping an extra vial for your own entertainment in the near future.
Xiao
Xiao was face-palming against his forehead real hard about this. For the love of Rex Lapis, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into this time? First it was the child incident, now you're the size of his finger? Good grief, looks like he will have to keep an eye on you from now on but at the same time he's scared to get too close, you are nothing but a tiny mortal in which he would have to double his effort to look after.
He lets you sit at the crown of his head rather than anywhere else. You insisted since it was easier to see everything at a nice distance (plus he's short so you won't have to worry about him bumping into door frames). You noticed that Xiao also has a little strand sticking out from the center (ahoge) and you sometimes grab onto it for stability. Turns out he's quite sensitive there and winces when you pull too hard.
For the remaining week as the antedote was being prepared, Xiao became extremely aggressive over your well-being, he looks as if he's ready to massacre everything in his way...which he did. Clears out the monsters off the path before going on daily strolls with you, you wouldn't have to lift a finger from now on. No one except for him is allowed to hold you unless they're a trustworthy person. You could feel his sharp eyes glued on you like a hawk when walking into the grasp of Zhongli's hand.
You once accidentally tripped into his almond tofu when he wasn't looking and he almost ate you. Turns out being small made his job as your gaurdian ten times harder (especially when you're the clumsy type). If you were to fall off the table, he would have to catch you right? Xiao often bumps into furnitures in the process...ouch!
He's very soft. It's all over his forehead, his mouth, his eyes. When he looks at you, his tense eatures melted away and there's an invisible fondness over them as he cradles you in his palm. The way you snuggle in them is lke the most precious thing in the world.
When you turn back, there's a wave of relief. He was really stressed out you know?
Zhongli
His first thought is to get you as far as he can from the Funeral Parlour before Hu Tao finds you. Who knows what that child might have in mind. Zhongli takes one of his empty tea pots and urges you to go inside, or carries a tea cup with you in it, he likes placing you on objects while carrying you around.
Zhongli realizes that you can no longer use the household items like before so he has to remake them to your standards- especially when he realized he doesn't have the mora to buy you a dollhouse. He improvises. Takes a handkerchief to make your blanket, his cups for your bathtub, Zhongli had to cut the foot into byte-sized too. But in terms of clothes, well he had to make them as well. Living thousands of years would mean he would have lot of experience. Sewing was one of them luckily. But that would mean he has to take your measurements as well. In the end, most of the things he made were dresses since they were alot easier.
You like to sneak in between his shirt and his vest tucked behind the coat he wears. Unfortunately Zhongli doesn't seem to have visible pockets (most likely the reason why he doesn't carry mora either), though if you don't hold on tight you might just slip down his vest and right to his stomach. It makes him chuckle when that happens even if the amount of effort to get you out took more than he thought since his attire is quite complicated to put on. If you really want to climb on him, he'll find a seperate pouch (but realizes it won't be a good idea when there's alot of pick-pocketers in Liyue streets).
All of a sudden he reads you bedtime stories. It's some sort of inner instinct that tells him he's taking care of a child now (he's right though). You realized that his voice was equivalent to a thunder's roar due to size difference. He would have to whisper now.
It will always be part of his precious memories when you turned pocket-sized. Zhongli still keeps the clothing he made somewhere in his closets too.
Kaeya
Amused by this eventful situation. Absolutely thrilled! He's not evil like Scaramouche but this new version of his s/o is both adorable and fun at the same time. You're so easy to tickle, just one poke using his finger against your hips makes you yelp. Sometimes he twirls your hair or taps your forehead gently despite your protest, he's so handsy like always in an affectionate yet annoying way.
Kaeya picks you up and places you among the fluffy comfort of his feathery scarf. You sneezed, the last time he cleaned it was before he went on a mission with the knights. Though you have to admit, it's the best feeling in the world. It's so soft you might sink deeper into the fabric. He likes to put you in places where he can talk to you easily, sometimes on the table while he downs on his wine. Normally you have to take the bottle away before it gets too much, now you have to push it away which he finds very entertaining at your futile attempts.
"Don't you have anything better to do?" you tell him. Since you turned byte-sized, he can't seem to stop playing around. Takes his two fingers and pretends they're legs walking across the surface. You would turn around and he halts, Kaeya sends you his signature grin. When he promises that he wouldn't do anything funny, you would let him hold you. Since hugs are out of the equation, Kaeya gives you his finger instead to wrap your arms around. He can't get enough seeing you like this, things he couldn't do when you were normal-sized. he enjoys your reactions way too much.
His favourite pass time is helping you brush your hair because the hairbursh is too big for you to handle. Kaeya ensure he's handling things delicately but he would love to help style it for you as well. Pretty please? At this point one request turns to another because he's having way too much fun. But it couldn't be helped since you would need his assistance in almost everything so there's really no escaping.
You were so happy when things were normal again but Kaeya would bring this up again during your conversations (how next time he would like to put you in his drinks while you're wearing a swim suit).
Albedo
Legit blurted out if he could put you on a hamster wheel.
What about trying out the little maze he just made?
Or participating in a race against slimes of different elements?
No? Okay, then he'll just turn you back.
Albedo isn't going deal with this as along as he can help it (especially when he remembers what Klee did to him when he turned small.)
