Cosplayer on instagram. 26yo, enfp and a capricorn. french girl with vietnamese origins. omw to become a chief and a pastry chief. Will maybe start to write fanfic in eng.
I made a rough d.gray-man timeline for the Earl/Allen/Mana shenanigans and some people found it useful so I'll throw it here too. should be, like, 90% accurate at least until more chapters come out lol.
spoilers up to ch 247
- Adam/original Earl meets Catarina in Edinstown, disappears sometime later, and Mana & Nea are "born"
- Catarina raises Mana & Nea
- Nea meets past!Allen, Mana & Nea meet Cross Marian and the Noah clan, Nea awakens as a Noah (but doesn't have Noah memories)
- Nea gains Adam's memories*, makes past!Allen his pianist/partner in crime who controls the ark
- Nea kills the Noah, Catarina is heavily injured possibly by Mana/the Earl
- Mana becomes the Earl, kills Nea in front of Road & Cross, regains control as Nea tells him to find "Allen", at some point during this past!Allen asks Nea to let him hide Nea's memories
- Mana goes... somewhere... and is himself for a brief time but the Earl takes over again
- several years pass (around 28ish years) as Mana is the Earl and Cross searches for "Allen"
- Allen is sold to the circus as an infant
- Mana wakes up one day as himselfāamnesiac of the past 28ish years up to when he was with Neaāand in Edinstown he joins the circus to find Nea
- Mana & Allen find each other but Apochryphos messes things up, Earl tries to take over Mana again, Cross tries to kill Allen, Mana & Allen flee the circus after Allen's innocence breaks Mana's memories
- 3 years later Mana ""dies"", Allen supposedly calls the Earl, and Cross finds Allen, somehow in this time Mana returns to being the Earl
- 3 more years later Allen is sent to the Black Order, i.e. the beginning of the manga
*we don't know when Nea gained Adam's memories but he had them after death so I think it's mostly safe to say he had them while he was alive, as it was probably a cause to him killing the Noah
**in the circus flashbacks in chapter 233 Cross says that "Allen became Nea's host 35 years ago" but at this point in time it was around 28ish years ago, as it's 35 in present day. I think this is a typo but feel free to make theories around it lol
aight suits have come up a lot today. let me try to cobble this together real quick
menās suits look simple from a distance but theyāre actually pretty complicated. this is partly due to the complexity of their task (make any man look good!), and partly due to the length of their evolution
i am not going to pretend an artist needs to be persnickety about Suit Rules, weāve all probably got better things to do with our time,Ā but there are some basic things one ought not to screw up in order to be passably convincing
SUIT JACKETS ARE NOT WAIST LENGTH. The bottom of the jacket is at least sleeve-length, usually about a palmās length longer. Itās not unusual for the hem to land at the bottom of the crotch - where the pants split into right and left legs.
KNOW HOW TO DRAW A REAL LAPEL. Lapels are those foldy-outy bits on your coat collars. Some outerwear lapels even button across the coat to protect you from the elements. Thereās a LOT of varieties of lapels, though they can be roughly sorted into 3 types. The most common type is the notched lapel. If you donāt want to learn about the other ones, thatās fine. Just make sure you learn that one. Remember that the notch is in the upper third of the lapel, not in the center.
TIE KNOTS SIT FLUSH WITH THE COLLAR. THE COLLAR IS FLUSH WITH THE NECK. for some reason a lot of peopleās Babbyās First Suit drawings have these loose dress collars with a neck gap, and then the tie is drawn so it appears loose around said loose collar. You can see the portion of the tie that goes around the neck, coming out of the knot. You shouldnāt be able to see that - you should only be able to see the knot, with the top edges of it under the collar. The collar shouldnātĀ āgapā from the neck. Furthermore, the back of the jacket should not gap from the collar, unless the characters are doing crazy things with their arms. Point 3 does not apply to people intentionally drawing ill-fitting suits and shitty tie knots.
You can skip town now, if you want. Thatās the important stuff.
Itād started so simply. You were working as an admin for shield. Hoping to move into the legal department someday. Instead, you were just stuck typing up case reports. But thatās how youād met them. Youād come back from getting a coffee and there was a stack of briefs, after youād already finished a huge stack. And it was just an hour before the weekendā¦ You were pissed. Youād gone down the hall and there were the two of them talking and laughing without a care in the world.
āHey!ā You yelled. āPanini heads!ā That stopped them in their tracks. Bucky turned around, a small smile ghosting his lips.
āWhatād you call us, doll?ā he asked. Your nerve wavered slightly, but you stood firm as you marched towards them.
āLook, I understand to earthās mightiest heroes, paperwork might seem like a one and done deal, but I have to type all those case reports and I canāt leave til theyāre done. And some of us actually have to commute home.ā You said, poking your finger into Steveās chest. Steve smiled down at you, actually looking sheepish.
āWeāre sorryā¦ā
ā(y/n)ā
ā(y/n),ā he continued. āWe didnāt think about that. But did you call usā¦panini heads?ā He chuckled and you chuckled at him.
āWell, yesā¦I did.ā You let out a sigh. āYou didnāt deserve it though. Iām sorry. Iām just so tired from all the work and none of the glory.ā You admitted.
āItās alright. Tell you what, why donāt you leave those case briefings for one night and join us for a drink?ā Bucky offered. And that was it. As you talked, the two of you just clicked so well. A drink turned to dinner. Dinner turned to spending the night. One night became two. And the rest was history.
Or so you thought.
You should have seen the signs. But you were too distracted by their glowing personalities. Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. And the fact they were interested in you.
It started with the stuffed animals. It seemed they came home with a new one every mission for you. You didnāt mind too much as they were cute. But you were having trouble finding room for them all. Then it was the coloring books. At first, they were fun ways to relax. But then they got more child-like. Slowly, movie nights became less about the newest action thriller and instead whatever the newest Disney or animated movie was. But it all came to a head one morning.
You had an interview with Shieldās legal department. A paralegal position had finally opened up and you were a shoe in. It was the morning of the final interview, and you were expecting an offer. Youād spent the night at Steve and Buckyās, partially out of convenience for commuting, and partially because you knew a night wedged between two super soldiers was exactly what you needed to calm your nerves.
The sunlight steamed into the room and you rolled over. Your eyes opened to unfortunately find the bed empty; meaning Steve and bucky had gone out for their morning run. Leaving you plenty of alone time to shower and get ready.
You heard the door to their apartment close as you were getting out. But when you went looking for your outfit, you couldnāt find it.
āHey Stevie, have you seen my skirt and blouse?ā You called out.
āOh donāt worry, princess. You wonāt need those. I cancelled your interview.ā His words took a moment to register.
āWhatā¦Steve, why did you do that?ā
āYouāre our little princess, you canāt handle a big girl job like that.ā He explained
āBesides, we have your new clothes right here for you.ā Bucky chimed in, coming into the bedroom and stepping past you, now frozen in a state a shock, and going over to the closet. He opened the door, then took down a box before opening it for you to see. Inside were a number ofā¦what looked like onesies. There was also some skirt-alls, maybe a few rompers. But Steve came in, against walking past you like you werenāt even there and dug through the box before pulling out a white onesie with little captain America shields and wolf outlines on it.
āHere you go. Thisāll be perfect for a nice quiet day at home. Maybe a trip to the park if youāre a good girl.ā Steve said. But you were aghast.
āWhat the actual hell is going on? What the fuck is wrong with you two?ā you exclaimed. āIām not wearing baby clothes! Iām going to my interview and maybe we can talk about this later but donāt count on it.ā You made a move to grab your stuff but Buckyās vibranium arm grabbed your wrist, hard.
āI donāt think so, babydoll.ā His voice low and rough.
āWeāve been waiting too long for you, our own little princess.ā Steve said, his voice equally low.
āBucky...pleaseā¦please stop...ā you begged. āIām sorry. I wonāt go to my interview.ā
āNo, you wonāt. Youāre going to stay right here, with us.ā He promised, before pulling you close to him, pressing his lips against yours in a fierce kiss.
āAnd itās Daddy to you, from now on.ā He threatened, squeezing your wrist tighter. āOr else.ā Steve stepped closer until his chest was against your back
āI know itās strange, baby. But weāre going to take care of you from now on. No more bills, no more scrambling for rent, just a little princess and her daddies.ā Steveās voice was softer now, lulling you in. But tears rushed down your face as your new reality sat in.
ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.
Not to be extra but this exchange continues to live totally rent free in my mind. Just like. The way Bucky makes Sam laugh. Buckyās soft and almost reverent (seriously Seb wtf are you doing???) tone when he says, āNice job, Cap.ā The way they both smile at the ground like that, but then the eye contact in that third pic. How Bucky continues to look at Sam a few seconds after Sam looks away. Itās such a small moment but thereās so much there. RENT FUCKING FREE.
When I was Downtown, a homeless man fucking corner me in a small dead end and ask me to kiss him. Like no ??
I literally said I was a fucking lesbian and that I have someone in my life. And he was like : don't worry I have a girlfriend too.
He didn't want me to leave unless I kiss him and he was so insistant.
Fortunately, one of his friends came for a cig and then he ask his friend to tell me he was a good man so that he can kiss me because I was so beautiful for an Asian.
At least his friends had common senses. He was like : don't bother her. thanks to him I escaped.
Why cant men be respectful when they are flirting ?
SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS (2021)
You walked in my shadow. I trained you so the most dangerous people in the world couldnāt kill you. Son, itās time for you to take your place by my side.
