The Flower That Was Bloomed by a Cloud
Hong Lyon & Baek Han
02.22.2022
A glimpse into the future 💖
Just wanted to quickly draw something Lyon x Baek Han on 02.22.2022...
Maybe, my wish regarding my ship will come true! ✨
Anyway, point is: we all know that Lyon will probably make the first move...
Although I can imagine drunk Baek Han going into dark Baek Han mode where he becomes the daring one. 🤣🤣
Ah, I love this ship! 💕
(I will draw this again properly later using pen & paper... I still can't get the hang of using stylus/drawing on a tablet ... Much respect to people who draw digitally, I don't know how you do it. I can't control the output line wobbles/jitters even though my hand IS stable. But I do like the fact I can now use any colors I want for free 🤣)
02.17.2022
I couldn't even remember your (full) name, but I remember your eyes...
It made me want to draw it...
Mi-chan? Or was it Mikoto?
I LOVE his eyes, so pretty in the ED song/animation.
The prettiest I've ever seen!
(^ just practicing... first time to draw on a tab >> I don't know if I like it or not 🙄)
(Edit) 02.22.2022
(Trying it this time the traditional way, pen/ink and paper)
I'm just really OBSSESED with Mikoto's eyes.
Now I'm sure his name is "Mikoto"...but I still don't remember his full name. 🤣
reblog to heal the person you reblogged this from
Sending you love and light 💖

Captured a shooting star by accident while practicing astrophotography...
Baek Han x Hong Lyon got me into this hobby. No regrets!
May a special wish of ours come true...
Happy Chinese New Year!!!
Super cute fanart by @aquagirl1978!
Happy Chinese New Year! 🎇🐅
Hello! Do you take in requests?
I read this (something that goes like this) randomly somewhere and I immediately thought of Gilbert von Obsidian x MC.
"He LOVED me. But he ruined my kingdom. He killed my family. And he enslaved me."
I thought if IkePri had a tragic end, that is how I imagined it would go for MC and Gilbert von Obsidian... I would love to read something with this prompt if you can accommodate. Thank you!
AN: Hello!! Thank you very much for requesting! It was very enjoyable writing it and this prompt was lovely! I really like getting requests about the new princes, so I hope I did him a bit of justice. I hope you enjoy~
Gilbert Von Obsidian x (g.n.) Reader
Fandom: Ikemen Prince
Character: Gilbert Von Obsidian
Warnings: Angst, enslaved reader, darker themes, gender neutral reader, (poor English)
"....He loved me…" That thought, like a poison lathered knife sunk in the back of your brain, until only the imaginary hilt could be seen. It was hurting you, more than you could voice, yet you treasured this pain, like a dragon it's chest filled with gold. After all, he was the one who made you believe him, wasn't he? With a variety of attractive offers, from ruling over countries to winning the contest of life.
'Freedom, he said….'
Every moment you spent with him was unforgettable, or you were too scared to accept the ugly reality, hidden behind a beautiful, refreshing smile.
"But…." There was always another thought, clashing upon what you praised like a God, that made you overthink it again and again, making you cry in anguish.
"He ruined my kingdom...he killed my family…" After losing both the place that you happily lived, letting it fall in despair, with people who were either starving to be free and others starving to eat a tiny piece of food, along with the family members that you loved and cherished so much, you felt devastated. The things he did wrong were uncountable and you always gave up on catching them, putting them on each of your fingertips in hope to crash them and pretend that nothing happened. There were too many sins to be forgiven, but not for you, who welcomed him in your country and accepted the future he could offer.
"And he enslaved me. Took my will and trampled on it, as if it was something useless to him." You knew how he worked, the dirty ways around everything and the false hope he spread like blood on the battlefield. Why were you giving him so many chances, even when you learned about his doings? A sarcastic snort, directed at you, left your own mouth.
At the very moment this sentence left your cracked from the cold lips, you heard a delighted chuckle from your right. You didn't know that you were speaking out loud, nor did you think that he, the man that you despised yet "adored", was so close to you. No matter what you said about him, if you did it in front of him, he didn't care at all. He was the one who threatened you to never lie to him.
Gilbert Von Obsidian, the once first prince of Obsidian, who represented each villain in every single book you read, took a hold of your chin with his long fingers and forced your head up to meet his gaze. And you noticed. You closed your eyes and took a shaky breath. Your blood was freezing inside your veins and a shiver passed down your spine.
The crazy glint that shone in his crimson red eye, almost as if he was a maniac, like he had long fallen in the sea of madness and was now drowning, asking you to follow him at its depth.
"Are you afraid of me, little rabbit?" He questioned and let his lips hover over yours, his hot breath washing over your face, bringing you a strangely calm feeling that put a fire in you. One you could put down.
"I only did that, because I wanted to get along with you. From the very start, right?" He continued and you didn't know how to answer him. You only knew how to find comfort in his arms, that welcomed your trembling body, when you leaned forward, with a slight dizziness that was playing games with your head.
You mumbled a tiny 'yes', softly, like you were a delicate doll in between an army of wooden marionettes, a flower in a garden of thorns.But you still couldn't understand why salty droplets, that could easily disguise themselves as rivers full of diamonds, were falling from your eyes, dampening the black gloves he wore, while he gently cradled your face to his chest.
"Rest" This was once a word filled with compassion from Gilbert. Now, it was an order from the new Emperor of Obsidian.
The End
AN: Thank you very much for reading!! Have a great day/night~
@thewitchofbooks THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😭 It was a great read! 😆 I can really feel the darkness of it -like they're trapped in an endless void- it made my heart race while reading it. 💗 I also loved the metaphorical way you wrote the story. 🥺 It's so beautifully dark, thank you! 💐
Before Sariel’s birthday month ends...
🎂 A drawing for my backstory for Sariel in a previous post. I just wanted to draw Sariel with wings and long, flowing hair..because Cybird won’t give me a long-haired guy (In my defense, Sariel IS a fallen angel in the book of Enoch so this counts 🤣 )
🎂 A positivized version of my tragic end headcanon for Sariel -- with the IkePri/Rhodolite setting as his 10th time being reborn - after completing his karmic punishment.
Sariel, before he fell from grace...
Once upon a time, there was an angel who fell from grace. He was a benevolent angel of death who comforted and cared for humans more than anyone. The angel was called Sariel.
But one day, under the ethereal moonlight, Sariel fell in love with a human--a dazzling beauty with the purest heart. His love for her was so deep and desperate that he could not bear to see her suffer and die. In his moment of weakness, he let the devil trick him and he betrayed his most benevolent Master in an attempt to change one human's fate. Realizing his sin, Sariel begged God for forgiveness. The brand of the devil on his hand can no longer be erased but he still wanted to repent, and so, Sariel humbly accepted punishment for his sin.
Sariel, one of the most radiant and powerful leaders of angels, was banished from heaven. He was punished to become a human servant and to suffer the deep pain of betrayal from the hands of his most beloved for nine human lifetimes. Only then will his sin be forgiven...and he can finally be with his beloved, as a human.
In the end, God granted the fallen angel who sought repentance one last act of mercy...
And so, in his tenth human lifetime, in the Kingdom of Roses, Sariel became the loyal servant to the King who was a fallen beast. After the King passed away, he went on in search of a commoner to choose the next King of Rhodolite. He found Belle--a dazzling beauty with the purest heart... And Sariel, the fallen angel whose past has already been forgiven and forgotten, fell in love with her again. 🎉
🎂🎂🎂
(But I still prefer the tragic version in which Rhodolite setting was his 8th lifetime of being betrayed. 🤣)
My thoughts on the drawing: I haven’t drawn anything in ~3years, not even a doodle, and I chose Sariel as practice material (why did I do this to myself 😭). In the end, it didn’t look much like Sariel, tbvh... I wanted to draw a “softer" and compassionate expression to distinguish "Archangel" Sariel...but I think it came out a little bit too soft...almost feminine. I guess, angels are supposed to be androgynous anyways.. Hahaha! So let's just say this is my interpretation of Sariel during his time as an archangel (of death)... And Sariel's features became sharper and more masculine, as he served his karma and reborn as a human male.
I'll probably draw Sariel as a "fallen" angel with black wings to practice some more...when the mood strikes. I hope I could nail it the second time around.
But for now, yeah, here's my contribution to Sariel's tag.
(belated) Happy Birthday Sariel!!
I love Chevalier for many reasons!
While I'm at it (IkePri x Classic anime throwbacks), when everyone else can't help but compare Chevalier to other Ikemen/Cybird characters, I was strongly reminded of these characters who left a deep impression on me while reading Chevalier's route.
It's not Kenshin or Nobunaga I see everytime I look at Chevalier but these guys:
(my age is showing, lol)
1. Shi Senka (Sainkoku Monogatari):
THE one and only Emperor Senka - ruthless, merciless in battle, but extremely talented. He ended the hundred years of war in Saiunkoku. The only emperor whom the Purple Immortal deemed worthy of serving after Sou Gen (the founder of Saiunkoku). Also, like Chev, Shi Senka only loved and cared for one woman in his lifetime.
2. Treize Khushrenada (Gundam Wing):
The charismatic leader who defied absolute pacifism and led the Earth sphere to war against space colonies. Many soldiers died but Treize considered it a noble and inevitable sacrifice. Chev legit gave me Treize flashbacks (the goosebumps) in that climactic scene where he confessed to Belle that he memorizes the names of Rhodolite soldiers who died in battle to carry their legacy. That was SO TREIZE, in an iconic GW episode.
Also, Lady Une (whom Teize loved) somewhat resembles Belle IMO. They sort of look alike, but Belle's design is much softer and younger.
3. Charioce XVII/Chris (Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul):
Ruthless king who could sacrifice anything for his goal. He valued results over the means. No time for bullshit. He wanted to dominate the three realms who was trying to oppress his kingdom (the human realm). The only king who had that big of a vision.
Same sassy energy. Same black FLUFFY cape. Sexy and dangerous, with a hidden gentle side. Like Chev, his emotions or "human" side was drawn out by only one girl... AND dancing was also their thing. Their story ended with a romantic dance. 💕
These guys had no hesitation going to war. They were ruthless. But it's not like they went to war simply because they enjoyed killing. They had a bigger purpose/goal for going into battle, the war was a means to an end. And they have a soft spot for only one woman.
Also, another resemblance: lots of people want them dead 🤣
Alright... I find Licht endearing and somehow "nostalgic"... I could not put my finger on it before but I finally realized it now:
THIS LINE. It reminded me of Princess Tutu.. Licht was somewhat like Mytho (they even had the same hair and eye color).
Also, Sariel said this about Belle:
Come to think of it, Licht and Belle somehow resembles the story of Prince Mytho and Princess Tutu.
The kind prince Mytho sacrificed his heart to defeat the Raven. He shattered his own heart to protect everyone and he lost the ability to feel emotions... He became like a lifeless doll. Then came Princess Tutu: little by little, she gave back Mytho the lost shards of his heart. Along with the capability to feel emotions again, Mytho felt "pain" each time a shard of his heart was returned. That's why Fakir initially wanted Princess Tutu away from Mytho. At the end, it was also revealed that Princess Tutu represents "HOPE" for Mytho.
Licht lost his heart protecting Nokto, he shunned his positive emotions after that. Then came Belle who Sariel, even early on, felt was Licht's hope. Licht began to feel all the emotions he lost as a child when he is with Belle. He frequently mentioned that he felt "pain" too, whenever Belle is around.
Nokto was like Fakir especially in the dramatic route, he was protective of Licht when it comes to Belle. And Yves (the prince who is conflicted with his identity) was like Rue, he was so in love in Licht 🤣🤗.
It's so bittersweet and nostalgic... Licht's route is very endearing to me in a special way because of it reminded me of Princess Tutu...
And so does Yves's route. The opening and ending narrations of Yves's romantic route sounded like a fairytale taken out of Princess Tutu's book. I absolutely ADORED it!
By the way, tbvh, I loved Mytho x Tutu but I truly shipped Fakir x Ahiru haha
Hello! I just read your Dark Ends for Ikemen Prince and they're beautifully written 💜
Hello! Thank you for your message, I greatly appreciate it! 🙂 I admire your patience in reading through everything...it's such a long post, haha. 😆 Thank you! ❤️
Many said that Ikemen Prince is the darkest Ikemen series as of late. I agree. And I wonder if they would ever release an alternative TRAGIC END to IkePri in the future after they have exhausted everything. Because, as much as I fear it, that would certainly fit IkePri's "dark theme" as well. The "Grimm fairytale version". 🌑
(Warning: lots of spoilers below)
*IDK how to make a spoiler cut, sorry*
So, If IkePri had a tragic end... I imagine it would probably go like this for each route:
Chevalier: Belle would die protecting Chevalier.
"Why...?"
"Didn't I promise you, Prince Chevalier? I will show you..that love has value. I promised..."
After many years, Chevalier finally found his human "heart", but at that very moment, it also shattered into a million pieces.
(In exchange for Belle's fulfilling her promise, Chevalier makes a promise to Belle that he will work on for the rest of his life...)
Chevalier becomes a King, sitting on that cold throne alone. He never marries and appoints his nephews as candidates to the throne (Like Genbu Kaiden ending). But unlike his father who was driven to insanity with the passing of his beloved, Chevalier makes an effort to become the King his Belle hoped him to be - an exceptional King with a human heart... He makes an effort with the shattered pieces of his heart. So that in the end (unlike his father), he can meet Belle in the afterlife proudly...and Belle, smiling warmly (You did well, my King. I was watching...)
Really, I wonder how the previous King faced his Belle in the afterlife. Even King Senka (Saiunkoku Monogatari) did better and, at least, fulfilled his promise to his true beloved.
(Cliche but honestly, when Belle said she will prove to Chevalier the value of love, I expected something like Belle putting her life at risk for Chev in the dramatic route...but it turned out to be the other way around. )
Clavis: Clavis doing a true "Code Geass Lelouch route" - wherein he usurps the throne from Chevalier in a cold, brutal, chaotic fashion. All his other brothers, subjugated while Chevalier was forced to kneel to him in the end. Clavis kills Belle in front of Chev to add to his misery.
All hail, King Clavis! 👏
Rhodolite, once the Kingdom of Roses, becomes the Kingdom of Chaos.
Licht: An alternate ending of the dramatic route wherein, ironically, Licht dies just when he has finally found his will to live... That would have been very tragic and regrettable.
But they promise to find each other again in their next life.
Nokto: Either Licht dies protecting Nokto again and Nokto living the rest of his life as "King Licht" (completely discarding his own self in a way to atone while fulfilling his promise to be the Number One king to Licht)
- OR Nokto ends up really marrying the Jadean princess and being separated from MC forever.
Yves: Yves having a mental breakdown due to despair and disillusionment following the "incident" with Obsidian and developing a split personality/DID (ala Keith) for real.
He switches between two persona: (1) the kind Yves, the Rhodolitian prince, (2) the ruthless Yves, the Obsidian prince. His brothers found out about #2 after Yves served them a poisoned cake and Yves laughed at how easily fooled they are.
But true to her promise in Ch9 ("I'm here for you, I'll always believe in you no matter what people say about you"), Belle stays by his side all throughout.
Luke: Based from spoilers, I feel like Luke's dramatic end is almost like a tragic end. MC went with him but he was expelled from Rhodolite and ended up being alienated from his brothers--his last living family /blood siblings. They are family but he wasn't officially recognized as part of them. AGAIN and again, to his ONLY blood family, he doesn't even EXIST.
Leon: Leon being "discovered" and dying with the regret of failing to fulfill the wish /legacy of the true Leon.
- OR better yet, Leon becoming THE king but in the end, his ideologies and pacifism aren't enough to create a happy kingdom. He, along with his citizens, gets pathetically crushed by Gilbert von Obsidian.
(I, very honestly, have always thought that in times of peace, Leon would have been the perfect King but not in THAT timeline where an exceptional villain like Gilbert von Obsidian exists. Rhodolite needs someone who can go head to head with Gilbert, aka Chevalier. Leon was at the right place at the wrong time.
I can't help but compare the circumstances to Saiunkoku Monogatari. Before the Kingdom of Saiunkoku achieved peace and Ryuuki (who hated wars) became king, there was THE King Senka--ruthless and feared by all-- who brought an end to the hundred years of war in Saiunkoku. The one and only King Senka.
Jin: I can't think of anything, haha! I don't know much about his story. Maybe, Jin and Belle will go separate ways in the end. Even though Jin can probably do something about Clause 99, a deep part of him feels guilty being with Belle because it seemed unfair to his mother. His beloved mother couldn't be with his father. Why can Jin/Belle be together but his mother/the previous King can't? It just feels unfair and he feels he hasn't done anything significant to deserve something different. And he's stubborn. So he lets her go.
Rio: Rio ends up heartbroken in every route except his own. So, let's not make it even more difficult for him. On the other hand, he deserves a thousand happy endings!
Gilbert Von Obsidian: Something that I read very randomly somewhere... It just fits. I immediately thought of Gilbert and if his route had a tragic end:
"He loved me. But he ruined my kingdom. He killed my family. And he enslaved me."
Tragic, DARK, end.
Keith: Well, simply put: Dark Keith accidentally kills Belle...and then Belle dies in the arms of good Keith. Keith having a total mental breakdown -- dark Keith completely taking over and good Keith locked away forever. Dark Keith goes on aggressive mode and invades the other kingdoms. Bye, Neutral Jade.
Silvio: I can't really think of anything... Since he seems to be very grounded person, maybe, reality biting both of them in the ass... It's no fairytale.
- Belle, being a commoner and Rhodolitian, ending up as his mistress (and not a legit queen). He loves Belle, but can only hide her / alienate her from everything else. And he's too selfish to let her go, he wasn't a good person. It's not ideal, but they would make do with that if they can be together.
- OR, better yet: He chooses the throne over Belle. They go separate ways in the end. Belle in Rhodolite (with Rio) and him, in Benitoite with his loveless marriage. Theirs was a fleeting romance, it felt like an illusion.
Belle who loved reading love stories no longer believes in fairytales.
Actually, Yves becoming the Rhodolite King is tragic for Silvio. He's no longer the most fashionable king. It's a HORROR and he can't accept it. He HAS TO BE The.Most.Fashionable.King.Ever. And he becomes more vain than he is now. Now, that is the real tragedy! 🤣
Silvio (every fucking day): "Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Tell me, who is the most glamorous of them all?" 🤣🤣
SARIEL: Hmm, difficult... (but oh boy, I enjoyed it so I edited this one with a little backstory). It is unrealistic but let's just make his tragic end dark and twisted then:
- In a twist of events and Gilbert's evil manipulation, Belle ends up betraying Rhodolite and stabbed Sariel in the back. With tears falling from her eyes, she looks at him straight in the eye and her next words are cold, bittersweet, and haunting:
"Sariel, you made a mistake in choosing me."
Once upon a time, there was an angel who fell from grace. He was a benevolent angel of death who comforted and cared for humans more than anyone. The angel was called Sariel.
But one day, under the ethereal moonlight, Sariel fell in love with a human--a dazzling beauty with the purest heart. His love for her was so deep and desperate that he could not bear to see her suffer and die. In his moment of weakness, he let the devil trick him and he betrayed his most benevolent Master in an attempt to change one human's fate. Realizing his sin, Sariel begged God for forgiveness. The brand of the devil on his hand can no longer be erased but he still wanted to repent, and so, Sariel humbly accepted punishment for his sin.
Sariel, one of the most radiant and powerful leaders of angels, was banished from heaven. He was punished to become a human servant and to suffer the deep pain of betrayal from the hands of his most beloved for nine human lifetimes. Only then will his sin be forgiven and he can be with his beloved, as a human.
In his eighth human lifetime, in the Kingdom of Roses, Sariel became the loyal servant to the King who was a fallen beast. After the King passed away, he went on in search of a commoner to choose the next King of Rhodolite. He found Belle--a dazzling beauty with the purest heart... And Sariel, the fallen angel with no memories of his past sin, fell in love with her again.
Just me and my crazy ideas...I'm hungry and sleep deprived.
I love IkePri. It's fun to think of different scenarios! But of course, I prefer the FAIRYTALE endings
My GOD...
I'm having flashbacks.
I imagined Keiji would look more like Luke (IkePri) if he puts his hair down, but seeing the actual thing, Keiji definitely looks like Okita Souji (Hakuouki)!!
Keiji - Souji. The irony 😅
That was supposed to be a sweet romantic scene, but Keiji looking like that...oh dear..
My heart hurts when I think of Souji. I wish he could have lived his life to the fullest like Keiji. 😿
At first, I thought the Rhodolite princes don't look like brothers at all (except Licht and Nokto) and they took too much from their mothers...
But now, I can see that each prince DO resemble at least another one from the lot. If you put them in pairs (just not as a group of 8), you can see the strong physical resemblance between brothers. Twist of fate, I guess...
Chevalier & Yves: They took after their mothers but they both have blonde hair and blue eyes (just slightly different shades)
When I look at this pair of siblings, I can only say: "Ah, beautiful people..." The beautiful older brother and the equally beautiful younger brother. They're like works of art and definitely looks "royalty"
Jin & Luke: The siblings who took after their father. It's the hair color and the height I guess. They're both very tall you'd think the height really runs in the king's bloodline. Their physique looks similar too - very manly and not the delicate kind.
But more than the physical resemblance, to me, when I look at these two, they give the strongest "siblings vibes"...(putting aside the twins). When I first saw Jin and Luke, I really got the impression: 'Ah, it's the big brother and the younger brother.' (how ironic considering Luke's backstory)
Nokto and Licht: No need for words.
Leon & Clavis: Golden eyes that glimmer but, ironically, hide "their authentic self". Shady asf.
At first, they look the least related to me, but yeah, on second thought...these brothers both posses golden eyes and more importantly, they are both hiding something/another persona. Yep, definitely siblings to me. 😉😉
Though actually, I feel like Leon and Clavis are the princes who resemble another persona:
Hmm, okay, this feels more right to me...
Leon and his "long lost brother" 🙏
Clavis and his "parallel universe brother". 👑
Leon and Clavis are dopplegangers.
🤣🤣🤣
OMG. Why did I find out about this just now?!!
This should be the HOLY GRAIL of KUROMOMO:
Kuroko no Basuke Replace Plus Chapter 22
If I had any doubts about my ship, I take it back. Just s matter of time... ❤️
(also, Ch 24.1 sort of implicitly debunked AoMomo)
Also, re. Ch 23...
KISE, you third wheel!! 🤣🤣
(I ship them too and AkaMomo)
Act 2.0 Sariel's PV is out on Youtube!!!
(I really love the new song.)
Okay, I MISS them SO MUCH...
I miss them to THIS EXTENT...
Stargazing and trying astrophotography for the first time while playing Reve's "STARRY SKY"--my ship's theme 😭-- (on endless loop) on a late Saturday night.... when the raw chapters used to be uploaded every week 😭.
I miss Lyon and Baek Han SO MUCH 😭.
I'm not going to stop until I manage to take a photo of the MILKY WAY as tribute to my SHIP...
