Tooru: go help Kuro, we'll cover this one

Mahiru: but you just--

Tooru: go Mahiru, I trust you *ruffle Mahiru's hair

Mahiru: ...... Ok *get on his broom* be safe uncle

Tooru: *grin* you too kiddo

I think I'm not ready.....

Licht would be the type of aroace that's absolutely down to play the pocky game, partly because hey, free chocolate, and partly because he always wins. He thinks it's thanks to his angelic powers and not because his Servamp is a mess that's totally weak to this sort of stuff. Hyde is okay with that misunderstanding. It's a win win.

I wish servamp would show us more of the consequences for the Eves now that Tsubaki attacked their Servamps. What does that mean for Misono? I always thought an Eve was physically stronger than the average human, so what does this do to a disabled human who suddenly loses that extra strength? (Provided that he does lose it)

Servamp HC?

When Kuro really, really wants something. This mother fucker will poof into his cat form, make the biggest puppy eyes, and tilts his head to the side for maximum level of cuteness.

More Servamp Headcanons

because there were like two I forgot in the last post so I came up with a few more to make a second post

Mikuni is polylingual; aside from Japanese, he speaks English, French, and German

Tetsu is surprisingly good at English; he picked up a lot from tourists who came to his family’s inn. He’s not quite fluid, but he could get around if he needed to

He also learned how to say “Welcome”, “Thank you”, and “Please come again” in a few other languages. And can play rock-paper-scissors in them, too.

Usually, what a Servamp says is automatically “translated” into the listener’s native language; however, if a Servamp actually knows another language, they can choose to speak that language (e.g. when Hyde goes “In Japanese, kakkoii!”, that word remains as “kakkoii!” regardless of the listener’s native language, but if he used it in a sentence, it’d be “kakkoii” to someone from Japan, “cool” to someone from the UK or US, etc)

Nicco once had an ex who ghosted him

Iori kinda wants to have a family, but he thinks he would be awful as a dad/husband

Servamp: A Mother’s Face

I’m just going to refer to Mahiru’s mother by my own personal headcanon name of Shirota Haru because continuously writing Mahiru’s mother gets tedious after a while.

Shirota Haru to me is a fascinating character. She’s the mother of our protagonist, but we really don’t know much about her. Not her real canon name, not her inner opinions, and not even her perspective.

She’s an often unseen character who’s had much influence over Mahiru and his decisions. Yet, we rarely if ever see her face. This is important because in the manga Mahiru is usually the POV character, and despite the fact that he should know what his mother’s face looks like in his memories her face is either shadowed or not shown at all. The only time Shirota Haru’s face appears fully is when an external factor beyond Mahiru’s control causes him to feel strong emotions. Mahiru has never shown us, the readers, her full face from his POV without the influence of another person.

Hypothesis:

Mahiru actively blocks out the memories of his mother because he feels survivors guilt among other negative emotions about her death.

With the Ch. 97 raws it seems like there was a child’s hand in front of the car from Mahiru’s memories. Perhaps he accidentally ran into the road and his mother saved him at the cost of her own life? In the anime too we are shown a car accident that seems to be her cause of death.

Ch. 24: Tears

In this chapter we see the face of Mahiru’s mother clearly for the first time ever. Mahiru’s memories of her are brought upon by Licht playing on his piano-lead. Mahiru did not choose to remember his mother voluntarily. Licht’s piano brought up the memories of her. Since Lawless himself is also shown remembering Ophelia in this chapter we can guess that the music is supposed to bring up the memory of your most cherished and beloved person. In this case Haru for Mahiru and Ophelia for Lawless. We can only speculate who Kuro was seeing when the music played, but it's likely The Creator.

Since Lawless had regrets about Ophelia’s death and Kuro had regrets about The Creator’s death we can speculate that Mahiru himself also has regrets over his mother’s death. Ophelia and The Creator’s deaths devastated Lawless and Kuro beyond words. It is not a nice comparison for Mahiru to share this similarity.

Ch. 68: So That We Won’t Become Lonely

In Ch. 68 we see the face of Mahiru’s mother once again. Reaching out to Mahiru to hold his hand as they walk. I once again believe that the reason we see her face is because of an influence external of himself e.g. Tsurugi who interferes and enters Mahiru’s mind in the previous chapter 67. If you look closely you’ll see that the way Tsurugi enters Mahiru’s mind by standing on the ceiling is the same way Mahiru entered Inner!Kuro’s rose mindscape in Ch. 92. In Ch. 67 Inner!Kuro himself tells Mahiru that someone’s thoughts are intercepting his and calls mini-Tsurugi an intruder.

I think it’s important to realize that Tsurugi is the force that prompts Mahiru to remember Haru’s face. Because if you go back to the Ch. 67 chapter you’ll see that Mahiru and Haru had a colored introduction, but the top part of Haru’s face is shadowed. 

Continuing further on in Ch. 67 and we come to find out from Inner!Kuro remarks that they are inside Mahiru’s mind. Inner!Kuro pulls up a few memories that seem to be related to the topic of Haru and her death, and Mahiru becomes agitated at seeing them.

Even Inner!Kuro in Mahiru’s own mind couldn’t make Mahiru see her face. The scene above takes place right before mini-Tsurugi shows up.

Ch. 79: Touma Taishi- The Tower

We see Haru’s face come to Mahiru’s mind when Touma is giving him a run down of “The unjust conditions which you cannot choose.” It is only when Touma mentions “Parents” that Mahiru’s face changes as he remembers his mother. If you look closely you’ll see the picture of her is the same as in Ch. 68. Mahiru once again sees her face clearly because of someone else; in this case Touma.

Ch. 86: The Requirements of a Hero

This is currently the last time we see the face of Shirota Haru clearly. Again the reason we see her face is because of external factors beyond Mahiru’s control e.g. Toru being grievously wounded by Tsubaki and Iori bringing up the topics of heroes. Iori tells him, “It’s the fact that they will surely come back smiling… Toru knows that.” Iori is talking about Toru in regards to heroes coming back home and that Toru is Mahiru’s hero, but in the flashback Mahiru is shown to be thinking of his mother coming back home smiling. To Mahiru his mother is his hero.

Also the face Mahiru makes. It’s almost exactly like the one in Ch. 96 when he’s having his breakdown in the shower thinking about Toru.

Conclusion:

The topic of his mother is a sensitive one for Mahiru. Excluding Ch. 68, where Haru appears as some mixture between a memory and a sort of dreamscape being, all the times Mahiru remembers his mother are when he is his current age of 16-years-old. Just look at the faces he makes: Ch. 24 where he is literally crying, Ch. 79 where he has this shocked look on his face, and Ch. 86 where he just outright does not look good.

From what I’ve seen these four times in the manga are the only times that the face of Shirota Haru is shown clearly to the viewer. Other times her face is covered in shadows or only the bottom half of her face is visible to the viewers. 

I headcanon her name as Shirota Haru because we’ve never been given one for her, but I’m willing to bet that the chapter where Mahiru lets go of whatever negative feelings, such as survivors guilt, that he has about his mother’s death is the chapter where not only will Mahiru, and by extension us the readers, see her face clearly but allow us the readers learn her real canon name.

The other route for us to learn more about her is from either Touma, Iori, or Toru. Toru is her brother who grew up with her and also seems to know a secret about Mahiru’s birth, Touma is the biological father of her child and since both managed to keep their relationship a secret from Toru he probably knows a side of her that’s different from what Toru knows, and Iori would know her in passing as Toru’s sister and if she worked in C3 in any way. Iori also just seems to give off the vibe that he knows a lot more than he lets on. His conversation with Mikuni in Ch. 72 is highly suspicious to me.

I do think that there is more to her death than a simple car accident, but I’m not quite sure what. I look forward to seeing what the manga reveals about her.

If we don’t get as many chapters dedicated to her as we did to Touma and his backstory I will be sorely disappointed.

I apologize for any grammar mistake. I also apologize that I couldn’t figure out how to properly resize the pictures. I’m still very new to this.

[mahi-does-some-art]

Headcanon that Mahiru knows how to do makeup because of costume prep for school plays/festivals/and other things. ^^

BUT HEEEY!!!! I HAVE FINALLY BUILT UP THE CONFIDENCE TO DRAW SOMETHING AGAIN!!!!!

I'm really sorry that I haven't been drawing that much and/or posting my own content. TT-TT School is rough and so is artblock lol

Licht headcanon

For some reason I have the headcanon that Licht Jekylland Todoroki has no fucking idea about technology. I mean Hyde and everyone else has to help him even if he refuses the help.

It seems plausible to me since Licht is a child prodigy and most likely spend most of his childhood practicing the piano and maybe didn't really have an interest in technology or anything like that.
