An Old Tale Heard in the Sea

[mercuryfeverdream]

pt5 of 5 Yandere! Land of the Lustrous/ Houseki no kuni various headcanon

Spoilers! Heavy spoilers!

...wait! all the shinnies were featured in part 1, 2, 3, and 4, so what's in this one??? stick around to find out :)

Admirabilis:

Aculeatus: (Variegatus' younger brother)

Aculeatus only appeared briefly, but he is seen as a free-spirited guy motivated by food and the interest of his people (unclear whether he is doing out of goodness of his heart or because his sister asked him to). He also seems to be morally grey, physically strong and willing to be violent. I can see Aculeatus being the type of kidnapping-against-will yandere. May break your leg to make you stay too. His sister can stop him though, so not all hope is lost.

Variegatus: (Ruler)

Variegatus is quite normal, actually. She is mature and understanding. She acts in the interest of her people, able to commit cruel actions for the greater good. However she had a strong conscience, so as a yandere, Variegatus would look for the least bloody way to your heart.

Ventricosus: (New ruler many generations later)

Ventricosus is on the naïve side, she's energetic and determined, blindly venturing out in hopes to find some way to prove herself to her people. As a yandere she'll happily do anything to prove her love to you!

Machines:

Kongo:

It was mentioned that Kongo felt rather uneasy acting as the respected superior to the gems, he rather be equal or even the one to serve as he's used to serving humans. So, yandere Kongo will be happy to serve you! He'll let you do anything (I mean he let Phos did everything), and give you everything you desire, except letting you get hurt, of course. He's very reliable but would rather have you take the lead, please.

Pitapat (Kongo's brother):

Dude literally reports the wrong meteor impact on purpose because someone took credit of his creation (he was created by Doctor Ayumu Ibifume) and he wanted to kill said person, so rest assured he'll get his hands bloody for you in the most effective and devastating way, you didn't even need to ask!

Human (?):

Doctor Ayumu Ibifume:

There is basically no information on the Doctor, but from what I've seen in the manga...she's rather crazy. She would make a great yandere! She'll probably be ok with modifying you so you can't leave her. But she will also love you very kindly, kiss you gently and wrap her arms around you. She seems to be the kind of person that does not conform to society, she goes by her own set of rules. And she'll probably set fire to the world for the sake of watching it burn, so try not to betray her, okay?

A quick doodle because I was rereading the manga and remembered Variegatus and how she was nice to Phos and never fuck him over (intentionally at least), so I wanted to make fanart of them :) Yes, the bar is that low for me to ship someone with Phos.

Phos and Variegatus

You know, I'm still bummed we never saw more of Variegatus even tho I can understand why and I'm not expecting them to play a larger role now as it wouldn't make sense, but still I think she had potential and it was an interesting mirror and throwback to earlier/young Phos.

Not only Variegatus is shown to be quite naive and childish as it's probably a younger admirabilis than Acuelatus and Ventricosus but also it's presumably of a greenish color, closer to that of Og Phos.

At the same time we are shown she's called "childish" by her people, it's constantly told she doesn't have what's required to be the next ruler and it's definitely behind her predecessors in terms of performance which leads her to want to prove herself (Exact reason why she ventures to the land in the first place) which kinda reminds us of when Phos decided to go into the sea.

By this point we're also told Variegatus had lost her shell, remind you of something? Phos losing their legs of course.

She's also cheerful and forgetful and she wants to go to the moon to rescue those trapped in the moon, she's inexperienced and even with all that, despite her inexperience with the world around her she went to the land when everyone else feared it because of the tales passed down from generation to generation [This is like the 5th gen after Ventricosus]. This all is kind-of a throwback to the journey Phos did until being able to communicate with the Lunrians except that with far less heavy personal traumas and more into the self-esteem issue.

In part I'm sure this was done to showcase how much Phos has changed as Variegatus is a far cry from what Phos was once, it's like seeing a phantasm of the past but at the same time had they passed some more time together I'm sure something interesting might've come out, kinda like when Phos passed time with Antarct and found a role model [That then went incredibly wrong].

Sadly we will never see her again as Admirabilis can live up to 100 years, so they're probably around their 7th or 8th generation by now which I hope will meet Phos again as they do have an interesting perspective to offer out of the drama between the gems and the lunarians.
