From an early age, Haruka Sakurai developed more slowly compared to his peers.
His overprotective parents would not accept that their child had devlopmental delays, and did not provide him with an educational environment suited to his needs.
The gap in developmental achievements between him and his peers kept widening, so much so that when Haruka reached 15 years old, he could still not adequately read kanji.
It was around that time his parents simply gave up, and they shift from overprotectiveness to disinterest. From then forth, his parents acted as if Haruka did not exist.
Haruka tried to regain his parent's attention by causing problems and disturbances, but his parents' attention was never directed at him.
Haruka starts to kill small animals in secret from around that time. He killed insects, he killed mice, he killed stray cats and dogs. He felt relieved that there was life in this world that was inferior to him.
Haruka 's actions soon escalate, and he starts to kill pet cats and dogs as well.
The following day, as he witnessed the tormented screams of the people who had suddenly lost a life they so cherished, he has a deep emotional reaction where he feels for the very first time he is indeed connected to the world.
The neighborhood increased its security soon afterward, and Haruka 's unsophisticated crimes soon came to light.
The police detained and questioned him harshly. Haruka experiences a heightened sense of excitement with all of this interest and attention directed at himself.
When he saw the faces of his parents, who were called in for him and him alone, that heightened excitement reached a fever pitch, and he fainted.
The day he was released, Haruka commited murder. The victim was a small child, clearly much less powerful than himself.
It was the day of the fireworks festival. He targeted a child who had strayed from her parents.
Haruka weeps, as he clumsily hides the body.
"This child's life was probably so much more valuable than my own"
"A future much brighter than mine was probably awaiting this child"
"Why did I end up like this?"
Haruka cried, night after night after that, and repented. He thinks the future of the child he murdered, and claws at his chest.
When he came to, he was strangling the neck of a second child.

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
Okay part 1 of Gormiti nature unleashed except everything is wrong and is it even the same property anymore? Co-written by my friend @technicallyastar
We are starting off with Noctis and the air kingdom! (Super simplified cause no one reads my 2000 word essays)
Okay so starting off like all the characters we keep the core traits, that being (this is literally from the wiki btw): overbearing, short-tempered, serious, stubborn, brave and egotistical. On top of that we are keeping him being the prince of the air kingdom, his daddy issues, and that need to be the centre of attention and in charge at all points.
So what are we changing? For starters all of the characters have been aged up to adults because the setting we have schemed up is much darker than the original and the way the gorm stones function is also very different and borderline body horror.
When watching the show (three times I should add) I noticed that Noctis is a character who is constantly presented with the idea of becoming evil and every time he considers it. So me and my darling bestie decided well let’s just make him evil for the first half of the story. As we have decided that the fire and air kingdoms are in a type of alliance as fire needs oxygen to burn and the whole alliance will likely be a separate post.
In the show Noctis is an all talk character, claiming to be very skilled but usually the first to be knocked down and since we are going the route of making him an antagonist for the first half he is an actual threat and generally a kind of terrible person. Perhaps you notice the lovely metal boots he is rocking and thinking “well that’s not very air feeling” to which I say: listen.
In the show his inspiration is very much an eagle, but we decided to generally make the air people feel more angelic and have a wider array of bird influence. Thus we have decided that he does this thing where he flies up real high and literally swoops down and drops on people ultimately crushing them with the high speeds and the lovely armour pieces. As personally I feel that when you have a character that can fly within a story that fights, I would like to see that character get creative with such a skill.
Following this perhaps you are thinking why does he have fairy wings in some of those drawings? Well simple. His wings get ripped off by his father at a point because he starts to realise that he may actually be the bad guy, and thus starts his redemption. Where for a good chunk he doesn’t have his wings and his overuse of his form storm has left him in a very sickly state (as overuse of the stones in this rewrite can and will kill you), following this Agrom who is more of an inventor-blacksmith type character in this creates a pair of robotic fairy looking wings for him to use. (Will expand on further posts at a point.) This is also done as a reference to the og Gormiti show, as whilst I have never watched it, I saw that the air lord in that was a pretty pink fairy looking girl and I strongly believe that fairies make everything better.
How the gorm stone works is also important to explain here so I will. Essentially the gorm stones don’t just make the person bigger stronger and give them magic powers in this, it literally physically turns the holder into a force of nature. In Noctis’ case he can literally turn into the wind and air, summon powerful winds that can create tornadoes and bring in typhoons, and he has even started doing this thing where he brings a ton of swords into the sky and rains them down because that is cool. Likewise there are smaller more precise ways to use the stone, like creating smaller intense bursts of air that slice things, other airbending rip-off stuff, and just more things that are more opposing than “furious wind twist”.
Like I said this is it super simplified, and I will get into more at a point ✨ thx
i was seeing all these little blue flowers everywhere and kept thinking "dang what are these bitches, i can't remember..." well guess what. they were fuckin forget-me-nots. can't believe i failed step fucking 1, the hot girls on iNaturalist are going to laugh at me and i'm gonna flunk out of hobby botany school.
He gets him to wear bells like when someone puts them on their cats collar so they can’t hide lol. I need to get back to work.. this took way too long.
Shadow Milk angst comic I worked on a way too much as a way to practice my comic style! I think it was worth the effort bc I am happy of how the visuals turned out.
I like to think that In a post ep8 redemption like scenario (story like Jambound is a good example) he would try to change and overcome his traumas, but it will be hard for people around him and himself to love and accept the change for better. A familiar hell sounds better than an unknown heaven, huh?
