As always, sorry for my mistakes, but I'm not an English native speaker.
One of the things I like the most from Black Clover is, without any doubt, how female characters are portrayed.
I really like that in this anime women aren't as sexualized as in others shonens.
We have a lot of female characters so powerful and independent. I mean, they don't need men to succeed as in another shonens I've watched and I think this is very important (Blue Rose Squad is a blessing).
I'm literally in love with these Charlotte's lines:
They have a lot of screen time and Tabata gives them amazing power up and character development. I think Noelle is the best example of this in the entire series, but every single lady here is amazing, like:
And obviously more, but I can't upload more images.
Another important thing is that men recognise this strength. They know that a lot of women in the Clover Kingdom can kick their ass and that they are warriors, just like men are.
That is why I think Black Clover is one of the best shonens and I strongly believe that anime should treat female characters like this.
Hace mucho tiempo que no uso esto, pero igual me voy a desahogar aquí. Y lo voy a hacer en español, así que supongo que a quien le interese lo traducirá y a quien no, pues no. No pasa nada. No voy a poner excusas sobre mi ausencia, se me fueron las ganas de estar en esta plataforma y ya. No tiene más explicación.
Me da cierta pena. Aquí pasé la pandemia, conocí a gente increíble, me adentré en un mundo que era desconocido para mí, aprendí a ser más sociable, a expandir mi mente. Fue precioso, de verdad, pero la motivación acaba, incluso para llevar esta cuenta.
Recuerdo que 2020 fue un año de altibajos intensos. Estudiaba en la facultad, estaba empezando a escribir, me confinaron tres meses en casa, me refugié aquí. El final del año fue un descenso a los infiernos. Perdí a mi padre, las ganas de hacer cosas se fueron, cambié tanto que a veces, aun a día de hoy, no me reconozco.
Ese año empecé a prepararme para un examen importante también. Lo he hecho dos veces y no he obtenido muy buenos resultados. Siempre me ponía excusas. La primera vez fallé porque estaba inestable; la segunda porque no pude compaginarlo con un trabajo precario que, por otro lado, necesitaba para sentir cierta falsa sensación de independencia.
Lo dejé hace dos días. Además de todos los problemas mentales que me produjo, sabía que fallaría otra vez en el examen. Y ahora aquí estoy, comenzando de nuevo, porque no hay más remedio, porque quiero volver a ser yo, la de antes, más empática, fuerte y optimista.
En ese camino ando. Necesito sentir que vuelvo a resurgir, que se acaban las excusas, que me centro y me motivo. Sigo viva, respiro, tengo expectativas en el futuro. Tengo a gente a mi alrededor que me quiere, me apoya y me lo demuestra. Ya estoy mejor. Pero quiero seguir mejorando.
Quiero tener ilusión, que mi vida me guste al fin. Quiero volver a ser feliz.
Puede que esto no le importe a nadie, da igual. Este es el lugar en el que quería que estuviera este mensaje, porque creo que es el adecuado. Porque también se lo debo a la gente que conoció a la antigua yo.
Espero que os podáis reencontrar algún día con esa chica que pasaba horas por aquí, compartiendo sus pasiones.
A long time ago, I had the idea of redesigning the uniforms of the Magic Knight squads for the (many) next gen ocs that me and my friends have. I thought it would be fun for the squads to each have a unique article of clothing for the squads' uniforms, to make each group a little more unique beyond their colors.
With the help of my beloved friend Steph ( @cringeyvanillamilk ), that idea has now come to fruition! I commissioned her for all the art you are to see.
And modeling the redesigned uniforms are mine and my friends' next gen ocs.
Representing the Golden Dawn is @lyranova's oc, Alistar Vangeance.
For the Black Bulls is @eme-eleff's oc, Hikari Yami.
Wearing the Crimson Lion King's uniform is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare's oc, Leonidas Vermillion.
From my own collection of ocs and representing the Blue Rose Knights is Dawn Faust.
The representative for the Aqua Deers is also my oc, Merel Faust.
The Silver Eagle's uniform is worn by @koneko-pi's oc, Avalinia Silva.
Representing the Coral Peacocks is @sailor-muno's oc, Bellini Fortuna.
Showing off for the Green Praying Mantises is @faewraithsworld's oc, Sullivan Vixen.
And the model for the Purple Orcas is another of @/faewraithsworld's ocs, Zoisite Ideale.
The CLK and GPM's uniforms have different versions that can be worn by the squad members. As seen below.
Thank you to Steph for taking my commission. And thank you to all my lovely friends for allowing me to turn your next gens into some gorgeous models!
Further notes about the uniforms below the cut.
Golden Dawn: they wear full body coats that are meant to be worn open. Squad members can have tassels added to their coats so they can be tied close if they so choose.
Black Bulls: they're not wearing leather jackets. It's standard fabric, that's all. Jacket length is somewhat adjustable though longer jackets are avoided to steer clear of having the same silhouette as the Golden Dawn.
Crimson Lion Kings: the sashes are sewn so that squad members don't have to wrap the fabric over their shoulder and around their waist every time they don their uniform.
Blue Rose Knights: it's a short cape already attached to a shirt. You'd just put it on like a regular shirt and hope that you don't get the cape in your face as you put it on.
Aqua Deer: it's a scarf, plain and simple. The ends of the scarf are to be a clean cut.
Silver Eagles: this squad retains the original form that a majority of the squad robes have in canon, a short mantle with an long cape attached. For the next gen's version, the fluff of the mantle was made a smaller component so that the feathers can be the main focus, instead of being mostly equal parts fluff and feather.
Coral Peacocks: a waist sash with the end of the fabric being shaped to resemble the tail feathers of a peacock.
Green Praying Mantises: arm sleeves that can just cover the forearms or cover the upper arms too. There's also a version with a slit in the sleeves in case there are squad members who don't want to wear the form fitting sleeves.
Purple Orcas: a vest with pointed hems reminiscent of the triangular shape of the squad robe worn by the previous generation. There are buttons on the vest so they can be worn open or closed to a squad member's preferences. (And most members tend to wear a shirt under the vest. Zoisite only wears his uniform this way because he can.)

Hiya guys! So it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything “spicy” or “suggestive” so I wanted to practice and decided to use Alistar and Hikari (with @eme-eleff ‘s permission ofc!), ngl it was hard to write at first but I think it came out well! It’s 98% suggestive but I hope you all enjoy~!
Alistar and Hikari quickly used their brooms to fly up to Alistar’s room in the Golden Dawn base. The two of them had been out on a date earlier that day and then, just as it began to grow dark, it started to rain, so the two quickly rushed to the nearest base which happened to be the Golden Dawns.
Alistar jumped off his broom, as did Hikari, and he quickly opened the balcony door and let Hikari go inside first. He closed it softly behind him and watched as she shuddered from the chill of the rain.
“ Here I’ll get us some towels and put a fire on.” Alistar said quickly as he rushed to his bathroom, he grabbed a pair of white fluffy towels and handed one to her and kept one for himself before he ran over to the fireplace and began to start a small fire inside.
“ Thanks,” She said softly as she took the towel gratefully and began to dry her hair with it. Alistar nodded as he walked back over and sat down on his bed. He threw the white towel over his head and began to dry his own hair before he suddenly looked up as he noticed movement out of the corner of his eye. He looked up and noticed Hikari standing in front of his full length mirror as she dried her hair and he felt his face burn at the sight.
The way her shirt clung to her every curve, the way he could still smell the faint aroma of her perfume just from where he was sitting, and the way she shivered as a gust of warm air blew through the room made him begin to have…well, less than innocent thoughts.
“ I-I’m going to go and start a warm bath so you can warm up!” Alistar stammered as he quickly jumped up and rushed towards his bathroom.
“ Hey Alistar,” Hikari suddenly called after him. He turned to look at her and noticed she had a shy and hesitant expression on her face, which was a very rare expression for her to have. She was always so confident and sure of herself. “ What if…I want you to warm me up instead?”
Alistar felt his throat suddenly go dry at her question and it’s possible implication. She was looking at him with her blue eyes slightly hidden under her long, dark lashes. He rarely used the word ‘cute’ with her, he always felt it was an understatement when it came to describing her, but right now that’s exactly how she looked.
He slowly walked over to her, she didn’t move a single inch even as he came to stand in front of her. The water from his hair slowly dripped from its ends and landed on the floor with a quiet ‘drip, drip, drip.’ but neither seemed to notice. The only thing the couple noticed was how their breathing seemed to change just slightly, and the way Alistar’s blue eyes seemed to search hers. As though he were trying to see how she wanted him to answer.
“ You…understand what that means don’t you?” He asked, his voice so soft yet so warm, that it made Hikari’s heart skip a beat.
“ I do.”
“ If we do this, I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop or hold myself back.” Alistar continued, his face moving closer and closer to her’s. Hikari couldn’t help but let a small smile grace her face at his words.
“ You’ll be able to. I know you Alistar, if I tell you to stop, or if you think I’m uncomfortable, you’ll stop. That’s just how you are.” She told him, her voice soft yet full of confidence. The two’s faces were so close at this moment that they could feel each other's breaths on their faces.
Alistar’s blue eyes glanced down at Hikari’s lips for a brief moment, but then, as though he couldn’t stop himself, he leaned down and captured them in a warm and passionate kiss. His hands reached up and gently cupped her face as they kissed and he felt her hands reach up to move around his neck in order to pull him closer.
As the two parted from their passionate kiss Alistar looked at Hikari’s eyes again. She gave him a small nod, confirming that she wanted to keep going, and it was almost like a switch flipped in his mind. He took a few steps forward, causing Hikari to take a few steps back, until he had her pinned between him and his dresser. He watched Hikari get a small smirk on her face before she placed her arms on it and hoisted herself up. Alistar chuckled, it was as though she had just read his mind.
He stepped forward to allow her to wrap her legs around his waist, which she did, and she pulled him closer before wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him into yet another passionate kiss. Alistar smirked a bit when Hikari gasped as he gently nibbled at her bottom lip, her lips parted just enough for him to slip his tongue through and he quickly deepened their kiss.
Their tongues went back and forth, each one trying to declare dominance over the other. But eventually the two had to part for some air, otherwise they would probably pass out.
Alistar and Hikari panted heavily, trying to get as much air as they could. Alistar placed a more chaste kiss against her lips for a moment before placing one on her cheek, her jaw, and slowly making his way down her neck and collarbone before going back up again. He glanced up and watched her lean her head back slightly to give him more access, to which he was grateful. He kissed and sucked on the sweet part of her neck that caused her to gasp and moan quietly, making his heart skip a beat in his chest and a fire to light up in his ice blue eyes.
Alistar slowly began to remove Hikari’s now warm and damp shirt from her body. His eyes never left hers, he wanted to make sure that what he was doing was okay and that he could continue. And by the look on her face and the ghost of a smile on her face he felt that it was okay, so he continued. He tugged at the bottom of her shirt and pulled it up and over her head before throwing it to the side. He moved his head back just a bit and felt a blush appear on his face.
Only her top was removed, leaving her still in her bra and pants, and yet she was still so beautiful. Thin scars graced her arms and chest from the countless battles she had been in and yet she was still so perfect. Alistar swallowed a lump in his throat as his mind once again went on vacation and he worked purely on instinct.
He leaned forward and began to trail kisses slowly down her neck again until he reached her chest, he watched as goosebumps appeared on her skin from his warm breath against her slightly cool skin and smirked a bit, was it really because she was cool? Or was it possibly the anticipation of what he was about to do?
“ Alistar…” He heard Hikari’s breathy voice suddenly call out, immediately Alistar stopped what he was doing and froze. He looked up at her, the fire in his eyes dissipating slightly as concern overtook them. She suddenly moved her hands to cup his face.
“ Not…fair…that you get to keep your shirt on…” Hikari said between breaths as her hands moved from his face down his chest, causing him to shiver slightly, until they reached the bottom of his shirt.
Alistar blinked in surprise for a moment before a smirk appeared on his face.
“ I apologize for my rudeness Lady Sukehrio,” Alistar said with a soft huskiness to his voice. “ I’ll quickly fix the situation so it’s fair.”
“ No! I want to do it…If that’s alright…” Hikari said quickly, causing Alistar to blink once again, but his smirk turned into a smile and he nodded.
He felt Hikari’s hands grab the edge of his shirt and slowly pull it up his body. Her fingers gently grazed his abdomen and chest, causing him to shiver, and soon she pulled it up and over his head and tossed it to the side just as he did with hers. After doing so she just…stared at his chest, with a small smirk appearing on her face.
“ W-What’s wrong? Why are you staring?” Alistar asked as his face began to grow red once again, Hikari just shook her head.
“ Nothing’s wrong. I’m just admiring the view.” She told him softly, a slight teasing tone in her voice. She suddenly pulled him closer again with her legs before wrapping her arms around his neck.
“ Should…we move to the bed?” She asked softly as her lips hovered just slightly over Alistar’s, he nodded before capturing her lips in a kiss once again.
Alistar hoisted her up and off the dresser, her legs tightening around his waist, and he carried her over to the bed where he gently laid her down. Their lips never parted, and their tongues once again fought for dominance, causing them both to smirk.
His hands gently slid from her waist and rested on the back of her thighs, rubbing them in a slow up and down motion, as Hikari’s hands began to tug and play with the bottom of Alistar’s slightly long hair.
Just as his lips parted from her’s to get some air for a moment the two froze as they heard voices echo from the other side of his bedroom door.
“ Alecdora, have you seen Alistar? He’s been gone for a while.” Alistar’s father, William Vangeance, asked his subordinate curiously. Alistar and Hikari looked at each other with a slight bit of panic in their eyes, had they been caught? Would they get caught?
“ I think he went out on a date with Captain Yami’s daughter.” Alecdora responded in a somewhat unsure tone.
As Alistar’s heart pounded nervously against his chest he suddenly felt something feather light gliding against his chest. It was so light that it made him shiver a few times. He looked down and noticed it was Hikari’s hand, and it was steadily going lower and lower, causing him to swallow a low moan that tried to escape his throat. When her hand tried to go underneath the waistband of his pants he grabbed her wrist gently, but firmly. When he looked up at her he noticed she had a calm look in her eyes, but a mischievous one in her beautiful blue eyes.
“ Are you trying to get us caught?” Alistar asked curiously as his lips still hovered over her and he watched her shrug a bit.
“ Not really, I just wanted to see how you’d react when I touched you. And, from what I just saw, I really liked your reaction.” She said with a giggle before she reached up and kissed him again. “ Besides, if we did get caught, I’d rather be caught by your dad than mine.”
Alistar instantly shuddered as the thought of Captain Yami Sukehiro possibly catching them in this situation popped into his mind. He would most likely be killed on sight, whereas if his father caught them, well, he would probably be scolded and receive a disappointed look.
Yeah Hikari was right. Rather be caught by William Vangeance then Yami Sukehiro.
“ Ah I see, well, if you happen to see him tell him I’ll be waiting for him in his office.There’s something urgent that I need to speak with him about.” William said and soon the couple heard their footsteps walk farther and farther away from Alistar’s bedroom door.
The couple sighed in relief as they looked at each other with similar grins.
“ Should we continue where we left off?”
