Balam Shichiro, Head of Imaginary Things Research and mythical zoology teacher at Babyls Demon School. If you've got any problems or questions, I've usually got a pot of tea brewing.
My name is Balam Shichiro, I work as a teacher of mythical zoology at Babyls Demon School. I'm also in charge of the Imaginary Things Research Division, and occasionally substitute for teachers of other subjects as necessary. My specialty fields are netherworld biology, mythical zoology and the study of Evil Cycles.
Since many of our students are here on Devilblr these days, we the faculty have been asked to establish a presence on the platform to monitor things and ensure student safety. So if you ever need anything my ask box, and my door, are always open. If you'd prefer to talk in person, I can usually be found in the biology lab. Please don't hesitate to stop by!
Welcome!
This here is an rp blog for Balam-sensei from Osamu Nishi's Mairimashita! Iruma-kun / Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun. This is a side blog, so I'll be following back from @leadingwoman.
About the mod:
Mod is 18+ and willing to write with minors so long as we avoid nsfw topics and material. By all means tell me about your ships, but let's steer clear of the sexy stuff yeah?
I've got roughly 20 years or so of experience writing and rp'ing online, but I'm pretty rusty doing it on tumblr. I may not be fully up-to-date on the etiquette and stuff so please let me know if I mess up somewhere!
I also work a job that doesn't let me answer asks on the clock, so I might take a while to respond sometimes. I promise I'm not ignoring anyone, and you'll never bother me by messaging! I will get to answering as soon as I am able. (I'm also a bit low-energy at times due to autism etc, which may factor in.)
Some general stuff to keep in mind:
- I will not be writing nsfw of any kind on this blog. At most I may get descriptive about something like an injury if anyone gets one of those, or engage with some mildly suggestive jokes. Both these things will be tagged appropriately. Any suggestive jokes will also most likely be made exclusively with other adult characters. Balam's a little too mindful of his role as a teacher to go discussing such things with his students. (Unless y'all want to ask the biology teacher some sex ed questions lmao???)
- I am up-to-date with the latest chapter of the manga, and will reference and answer questions about events that happen in recent chapters. Beware of potential spoilers!
- As our information about Balam's private life is pretty limited, I will be basing a good chunk of my portrayal on my personal headcanons. These may hit a little close to au territory at times since I like to pick apart worldbuilding and play with it, but nothing too crazy.
- As part of the headcanons mentioned above, I have pretty solid ideas on what Balam's relationships look like in terms of romance. Outside of what I've established with my partner, I will not be open to writing ships at this time. Sorry to disappoint any of you.
I wonder what kind of sorrow fills a bird whose wings have been severed before it got the chance to soar?
Let Down - Radiohead
Based off this panel from chapter 0.5, and just.... A lot of thoughts and emotions I can't put to words. Maybe one day you'll fly too, son. Maybe one day, I will too.
How is the investigation going? Did you find anything off with the tea yet?
"Hmm-? Oh, good, I was just about to go find you."
"There was definitely something in your tea. A spell infused in some kind of powder, far as I can figure. I've identified the components and none of it should be harmful for you. The spell should wear off on its own sooner or later, but I could whip you up an antidote if you'd like?"
Ooc: Sorry about the silence tonight folks. Just spent hours editing an image for a response only for my ancient laptop to crash and delete all my progress. That kinda killed what little energy I had left after work 😅😅😅
At least tomorrow's my last shift this week, so if I don't get to all my asks tonight I should have plenty of energy over the weekend 💚
balam-sensei, there’s some1 asking every1 abt… crime ??but idk why but it’s getting weird or or confusing i think
~ @clara-toy-toy
"Crime?"
[Shichiro frowns, absentmindedly petting Clara on the head as he reads her recently answered asks.]
"Oh. That."
"Don't let it worry you, Valac-san. This person's been asking people about bizarre rumors for a couple of days now, and won't listen when we all tell them they're false. I think they're just bored and looking for something interesting."
(ooc) I HAVE FINISHED ART ANIMATIC OF MADELEINE THAT I’VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS
This is my first animatic genuinely ever. I honestly thought I was gonna quit and just keep it as basic shadows no colors because I hated the flat colors… but ph my gosh I am so so so happy with how it turned out!!! 10 frames, last frame is my favorite so I’ll add it to this post as a single picture too.
I am absolutely in love with how my dearest Madeleine looks here… I hope everyone else will love this too! She’s such a cutie patootie to me <3 <3 <3
Hey Kalego! What drew you into marrying Balam and Aria?
I'm not discussing my love life while I'm still technically at work. It's a personal matter. A personal matter that I don't want any of my students or any strangers to know about.
