“I saw the tv glow” aka latching onto the rare representation you have.

Spice would fucking love Saiki k. He’d take one look at him and go “he’s so me fr” then try to find all content he could for the character.

What is Spices biggest problem as a kid? Not fitting in and being bullied heavily for it. He’s trying so hard to be “normal” so he isn’t hurt.

And what’s the show all about? The main character trying to hide his “abnormality” and seem like a normal kid.

The show would be his comfort show to watch when beaten up, comfort manga to read when his in the hospital from his health problems, it would be his go to escapism. Because damn he wishes he had those friends Saiki does. Damn he wishes his abnormality was basically being a god. Maybe he can escape his shitty home life for a fantasy for at least a couple hours.

He’d commit so hard to a cosplay for the dude that he’d dye his hair.

Likely more art to come about this

Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender is aroallo!

So uhh... I just gave my OCs designs in the past few weeks

(And I hope I tagged it all appropriately)

If you've seen some more my posts or have gone through my blog, chances are that you came across my Torn Quest stuff. It took me a good long while to get it all done in OpenToonz and I've wanted to post all the important characters of the first book at once there. It doesn't mean that they will all be reappearing after book 1 or that they themselves will have that much appearance time there. Only that they are kind of the most important people for the plot of the first book to make sense.

For the first three characters here I've added some flags to highlight some part of their identities that I feel icky about leaving out. (Expect for Beatle, cause while they are Nonbinary... it's in a way that I haven't figured out yet or cannot fully explain at this moment yet)

Feel free to ask questions about any of them, my ask box is open.

Anways, who wants to play a game of "who plays what role" just based on vibes + basic descriptions alone here? (Asking this mostly for the sake of my ego)

i keep turning aromantic misroch over in my mind. i want it to work but i don't feel it's really supported by the text. like, sure, you can say "misroch would be fine if they were asmo's primary sexual partner and had less insecurity, they don't actually want romance or monogamy" but that really requires you to reinterpret SO much of their behavior as just internalized amatonormativity that would dissolve if they were simply more comfortable, secure, whatever. and that feels disingenuous, not least because i don't think demons have amatonormativity lmao. part of bvm's demonic culture is that it's loudly supportive of everything sinful, and disgusted by things considered morally good. which leads me to read misroch's desire for romance and exclusivity as traits that would be punished in demons. traits that might get you ostracized or discriminated against, perhaps, because they're not sinful.

idk. like i said. i really want aromantic misroch to work. mostly because i'm aro and despise romance. but there's definitely an interesting story to tell with allo misroch and aromantic asmoraius (a reading that would be almost explicitly canon if not for his exchange with trent in the finale, and imo that can be explained in a variety of ways without invalidating the aro interpretation)

ooooooooooo OR an aromantic TRENT

now that would be interesting. trent is new, he doesn't necessarily know how to categorize his feelings, and he has absolutely been fed the heavenly amatonormativity--so yes, it makes total sense that he might default to interpreting his feelings as romantic, especially if this is his first time on earth and his first time experiencing any emotions outside of the ultimate love of heaven.

this makes misroch's jealousy hilariously one-sided, and makes me think that asmo's line about love is entirely due to trent's influence, and gives us an opportunity to write trent being like. wait. what the fuck even is love anyway because all i really want to do is chill with you getting groceries and stuff. i dont even necessarily want sex out of it i just like being your friend.

and then asmoraius responding to that with. well. first, the quiet devastation he gets when someone points out he has value outside of his sexuality. and then with an unexpected relief because he didn't know what to do with the prospect of real romance at all--playing romance with humans is one thing, but with a fellow immortal, well, then it would stop being a game and he'd have to admit that he doesn't like it when it's real.

WHICH BTW is part of why misroch is so fucking upset by asmo's fling with trent, because misroch HATES to see it treated like a game. like

you want this so deeply, and you had it, briefly, until it was revealed to be an act that the other person was doing for fun and to make you happy. so you're devastated because you thought it was real but in fact it had turned into something that hurt him, so you break up but manage to be friends still... and then, years later, you have to watch him do it again with someone else? the same act, the same game, so FUN and joyful and lighthearted for him, but ONLY because it's not real!

because the moment it becomes real (the thing you want so much it makes you sick to think about) it becomes a specialized torment nexus for him. which can only mean that there is something wrong with you, in particular, that there is something about who you are inherently that causes him to suffer. is that fucked up or what? hi i'm rod serling,

The girl is a loner.

Of her own will and desire, of course. Not because she’s a little too open about her opinions (particularly about romance), and a little too closed-off when they ask her why she has them. Not because she’s terrified what her fellow ninth graders will do to her when they realize she has no soulmark. Not because she figures that she might as well just push them away first, before they can push her.
