This year's Resbang has been a blast! Thank you to the lovely @amberlehcar for inspiring me with her awesome story! And thank you to Snail, for the epic high-quality work she did as well!
And, of course, thank you to the true mvps at @resbangmod for hosting this event, come tide or storm. You guys rock!
See you next year!
It's finally here!! Happy Resbang 2026, everyone! Here is my contribution, Wild Side, a Beastars AU for the Soul Eater characters.
It was so lovely getting to work with @kuhakkuart and @dumpsterr-fire as my artists, go check out their beautiful artworks here and here respectively.
Thank you so much to @resbangmod for putting together this incredible event, you guys work so hard and it is so appreciated!
Wild Side
Pairings: SoMa
Rating: R
Warnings: character death, violence, Beastars cannibalism, horniness(???)
Summary:Ā Itās hard enough being a teenager, try adding animal instincts to the puberty mix. When a carnivore is murdered and partially devoured on school grounds, Soul the arctic wolf and Maka the lop-eared rabbit must team up to bring the murderer to justice. Beastars AU
My first ever Resbang!!!
Thank you @amberlehcar for writing this cool fic, and @kuhakkuart for their lovely art!!
I had a lot of fun doing these (despite the back pain), I love the artstyle of both Beastars and Soul Eater so it was really cool to combine them both as covers for each chapter
Anyways, go check it out here š„š„š„
Thank you so much to the mods hosting, and I canāt wait to come back next year :]
Was kind of busy so we couldnāt exactly do much, but hereās a last minute thing for spooky day. This is art of one of my Kishin Soul AUs. Or timelines ig. You see, I have a habit of making like 5 billion canon divergent aus based on like one or two changes to the story.
Itās especially bad in Soul Eaterā¦this one is one with early realized weapon gene Maka -> solo weapon + early kidnapped (Medusa) -> Kishin Soul fused w/ the little ogre.
And thatās just the main part. There are so many more intricacies that I am thinking of right now that I could make separate aus of for that one too. In short: lord help me please! Stop this madness!
Anyways for everyone who participated hope you had fun.
Why Maka and Soul as a team deserve to be the ultimate Mirror Foil to Asura and Vajra
Maka and Soul in the beginning stood out from the other main partners because they both clearly suffered from some trust issues and in general having this huge need to be independently strong, and one of the hard lessons they kept on having to learn is they had to accept the fact that they are just stronger together, two as one, not separately, even their motto and shared goal is stated from time to time as 'to be stronger together'. Not to mention one of the persistent topics in their arc is how to navigate differences in personalities, most dramatically shown with the plot of Maka being incapable to understand music no matter how hard she studied despite it being an important part of Soul, while Soul himself had formed a philosophy that people should not fear differences
And that differences are needed to create harmony
In contrast, Asura's trust issues are so bad that he'd rather assimilate himself with his partner so he's the only one in charge and the only one standing
The theme of 'being scared of differences/scared of the possibility of not being able to understand each other fully/doubting each other' had even brought Soul and Maka to the brink of separation
So no surprise we get these in the finale as a culmination of their development together
contributing to my belief that 2026 will be THE YEAR. The day I am released from my imprisonment..oohhohohohoohohh...nobody will be prepared for the disaster that follows
ooorr I'll be so burnt out I'll die for like a year. Can't wait to find out!!!
I found a raw manga website and it seems like Ohkubo actually namedropped Soma's shipname during this moment, like I already knew before there was a pun to čµ°é¦¬ēÆ (soumatou, flashback/kaleidoscope, lit. Shadow-puppet lantern) based off heejung123's ch 111 overview on tumblr, but this is the first time I saw the page raw myself and Ohkubo went outta his way to tell the readers it's meant to be a pun with him saying čµ°é¦¬ēÆ as ć½ć¦ćēÆ (ć½ć¦ćć« (soma's JP ship name) + tou, SoMa's flashback)
Literal translation:
"I saw a soumatou (life flashing before my eyes)... Soul and Maka's SouMaTou...hahiya..."
(Yes, she's basically making a dad joke while dying lol)
Also to note, 'soumatou' specifically refers to the phenomenon where your life flashed before your eyes while you are on the verge of death (it was likened to seeing shadow puppets lanterns apparrently) hence the english translation used 'light at the end of the tunnel' and turned the pun into about Maka meeting her 'light' (Soul) for the first time, so 'Light at the start of the tunnel?'
Hereās my Reverb for 2025!! Had an amazing artist again this year who came up with a really interesting of Maka being a solo weapon/Soul being abducted by Medusa when he was a child.
If you like Soul going through it, Makaās mommy issues, and putting canon in a giant blender for the fun of it, check it out!!
Iāll add a small excerpt/link to the artwork below, and thank you to the Reverb mods for setting the event up again this year :)
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
If there was one noise Soul didnāt expect to hear in the drab room furbished as the nursesās office, it was of the incessant ribbit of a frog perched on the windowsill.
āFuckinā what!ā Soul practically growled as he rolled up the window and narrowed his eyes at Erukaās ādisguisedā form.
āI was just stopping by to tell Lady Medusa everything is going according to plan,ā Eruka croaked out, probing Soul to let out a sigh and run his fingers across his ivory mop of hair.
āAlright, Iāll let her know. Let yourself in next time and tell her. It might look like it, but Iām not her damn lap dog,ā Soul replied as he watched Erukaās lumpy figure turn around.
āYou wouldnāt catch me dead inside that school, frog disguise or not. And youād better hope Medusa wraps this thing up faster so Shinigami doesnāt start to sense your soul,ā the frog witch replied, probing Soul to narrow his eyes at the sight of her hopping away and left him to mull over her statement.
As if Iād ever let them kill me Soul mentally noted while shutting the small window and craning his head back in with a huff.
Medusa had been serving as Shibusenās nurse for months now. The dilemma had left him to adorn the disguise of Saul, a high school student who seemed to be interested in working as an aide for Shibusen in order to āhelp the causeā or whatever bullshit the witch had made up.
The young man wasnāt even sure why heād have to go through the trouble of infiltrating Shibusen along with Medusa, as his day was mostly filled with patching up a few cuts and bruises the students received during missions or snooping around the hallways in order to hear any information the teachers might be sharing amongst themselves.
However, he couldnāt be too nit-picky about the task, as it kept Medusa busy enough to where he could slink away and test out each of the new abilities he acquired with every step he took towards fulfilling his goal of becoming a full kishin.
This school isnāt gonna know what hit emā once Iāve unlocked my full potential Soul mentally noted, only to feel a small twinge blossom within his chest at the colorful array of people heād been tasked with administrating medical attention to.
Thereās Shinigamiās son. Dude is a lilā odd but still funny. I gotta admit, it was nice gettinā to talk about old jazz records with one of his demon pistols when sheād come in with a busted nose. Hmm, thereās was that blue-haired guy who comes in here all the time with a new injury. Thought he was just plain dumb, but heās actually fun to talk to. Pretty sure heās friends with that one guy with the lilā twin weapons-
āSaul, I need your help here,ā Medusa called over his musing, probing the boy to grumble and how sickly sweet her voice appeared to be when sheād be playing the part of the school nurse.
He quickly finished the small cup of tea Medusa forced him to drink everyday in order to start the process of creating a pseudo soul protect for his body before marching over towards the witch and their new patient.
Not too pleased to be taken away from your delusions eh, Evans? Although I am positively excited with getting back to that topic, especially since it only leads to one possible outcome~~ the demon giggled in the midst of Soul leveling a scowl at Medusa and the blonde haired girl sitting next to her on a small chair.
Soul had been able to recognize her as the current daughter of the Deathscythe stationed as Shinigamiās partner, as she seemed to be yet another regular within the infirmary.
His initial impression was that she was rather hard-headed and loud, but heād slowly begun to grow a faint interest in her once she attempted (and failed) to carry a conversation within him regarding his life and had even got a genuine chuckle out of him after jabbing Medusa in the face with her elbow when the witch had been attempting to pick a few stray shards of glass out of a cut on her upper arm.
It was also hard to ignore how Medusa seemed to be eyeing the young girlās soul with a morbid sense of glee heād only seen come out after sheād successfully played someone to do her bidding or ripped off the heads of her enemies in whatever method she deemed fit.
āOh, hi Saul!ā Maka hummed, probing Soulās lips to concede into a tight smile while he rummaged for a tube of ointment and attempted to hide from Medusaās inquisitive looks.
āHiā¦ā the boy simply responded before finding the medicine tube and dabbing a pea sized amount onto each of the bruises marring her skin, wondering if the girl in front of him could sense just how jittery his hands had become.
āHopefully you wonāt see me back here tomorrow,ā Maka added, earning her a faux grin from Medusa.
āOh did Saul not tell you sweetheart? He asked for time off around next week for a little trip he has plannedā¦ā the witch elaborated, although Soul was much too busy wondering if Makaās eyes would hold the same warmth in the eventual instance of him cornering her and brandishing his scythe.
He supposed it didnāt matter, as the thought of Medusa tugging on his leash and ordering him to kill for her own twisted needs was enough to set him off the edge before Saul even left for his family trip.
Hihi, first time participating in Reverb! Its been really cool to work on this and seeing everyone elseās things as well. I love Soul Eater so it makes me really happy to be a part of something like this :D
The concept for this was essentially āWhat if Maka discovered she was a weapon much earlier, and what if Soul was Medusaās experiment instead?ā Iāve had several variations of this idea for a while now so I wanted to try making something out of it.
Check out @memethebum ās post for the fic, despite both of us being busy they were wonderful to work with!
