You know what this pride month needs? Bakugan yuri >: ) Part 2 of my Bakugan Pride Month from the @bakuposting list that never ends - by the way did you know this is my first yuri? Runo is trans fem & bisexual, Alice is genderfluid & a lesbian. Runo's butterfly headband is a nod to Hatsune Miku Magnet (which i still want to draw The Pose(TM) with these two).

runoalice that sounds interesting do you have a reason(s) for shipping them

thank you for the free opportunity to talk about the best s1 ship besides drago and wavern <3

runo and alice are generally together for most of season 1. alice flies to tokyo and lives with the misakis, they both work at the cafe together, etc. they're shown multiple times to care for each other a lot, especially on runo's end when alice collapses or disappears.

despite what bakugan wikia wants you to think, it's runo who's most affected by the reveal of alice as masquerade and not shun. she's the one who runs to alice before she leaves, the one who has a montage of looking into the sky asking where alice is, and she's the one who runs to alice when they meet again in vestroia. both of them are crying when they hug, by the way.

another fun fact is that in episode 39, it's runo and alice who share the intermission screens. not dan, who masquerade battled the episode before, or shun, who the wikia wants to brainwash you into thinking she's got something going on with. that's because if anyone's closest to alice, it's runo. and runo's the one who screams into the sky for alice to come back.

episode 25 also shows progression in their friendship. runo suspects alice to be the spy, which she is lmao, but alice doesn't know that so she denies it and proves herself by helping runo and dan in battle, showing her importance to the group even if she was a non-brawler at the time. runo thanks her and they have a little moment together <3

also here comes mine and marukrawler's "runo should mc" propaganda lmao: with alice/masquerade as the villain, it would be interesting, to say the least, if runo would be mc instead of dan.

the obvious is there - runo is haos and alice/masq is darkus. they're the real opposites, especially when put next to the way wyvern is associated with haos and naga with darkus. but dan's mc, so pyrus is the one opposite darkus on the attribute wheel when it makes more sense for pyrus to oppose ventus. runo is also the first person who masquerade goes after. make masquerade's final battle, a tag battle with dan, be with runo instead. it comes perfect circle. hashtag make runo mc 2k22

tl;dr they have the most canon stuff to them and i love it. wikia spreads shunalice propaganda when the real romance is runoalice. we should yeet dan into orbit.

*slips on a comically large banana peel and this falls out of my pocket.* oh oh god that’s so embarrassing *putting it away* god. Sorry.

Bakugan Next Gen (AU) reference sheet 1/?

Remember when the internet was cool and deviantart was the shit and tons of people had next gen fankids……..? yes this is that. that’s what this is all about.

Oh yeah and this is probably riddled with grammatical mistakes but— *STARTS RUNNING AWAY*

Adult Runo & Alice. The second sketch is really bad actually so don’t perceive it for very long.

stupid gay AU stuff

After many years of on and off confusion and uncertainty, Runo and Dan have broken up. Runo is torn in two, feeling as if being with Dan is her sacred destiny, Lars Lion told her so, right? Without realizing she loves him the world would have collapsed into darkness. What Runo doesn’t know is that love comes in many shapes and forms, including platonic love.

Alice stayed isolated with her grandfather deep in Moscow until his very last breath. On his deathbed he pleaded to Alice to continue his legacy, and care for the laboratory after his passing. Alice cried— knowing she could not fulfill this promise. She had been dealing with her own set of ailments. She was passing out again and experiencing gaps in memory, amnesia. It scared her to no end. She attempted to reach out to her extended family (Aunt & Uncle) but they refused homing her. She was well past the age limit in their minds. They always were kinda uncaring to her.

Feeling completely emotionally devoid and alone, Alice decides to reach out to her long time long distance friend Runo to tell her everything. The Misaki’s happily allow her to stay. Runo assures Alice that she will always hold the key to Doctor Michaels laboratory, and that she had to do what was in her best interest. Not his.

But what was best for Alice? All she knew was that she was isolated her whole life, sheltered. Her only exposure to a fulfilling life was when she was with the Brawlers… When she lived with Runo, when she shared a room with her. When she was with Runo.

It is then when Alice decided to finally confess the feelings she’s been bottling up for years. Alice pushed her feelings for Runo away for many years knowing Runo was deeply infatuated with Dan. She never wanted to come between them, she always wanted to remain complacent. Much to Alice’s shock, Runo begins sobbing out of love and happily accepts her feelings.

The two eventually become the owners of the Misaki family cafe after Runo’s parents retire.

Okay now that all my rambling is complete— My take is that an Adult Runo would most likely end up having a body type similar to her mom and dad. Fat Runo my beloved!!!! I think Bakugan could benefit from some more diversity, wouldn’t kill them. I think that fat Runo probably will upset some people but c’mon. Runo’s mom seemed to gain weight after Runo was born / as she was growing up. So I think biologically speaking Runo would follow a similar path.

Oh and my adult Alice is genderqueer / nonbinary. Uses she/they/he pronouns and usually wears a binder, actually I’ve considered Alice top surgery too but I dunno :) just ideas…
