BEL JUST LINKED ME TO THIS.

I'M NOT SURE HOW TO TAKE THAT PICTURE OTHER THAN "REALLY, REALLY FUNNY."









p.s. guys why am I the only Arcobaleno left in camp, app my bros

BONUS:

<Devit> Man someone like--some other mammon player mentioned that apparently there's a theory
<Devit> That Viper and Skull are brother and sister
<Belphegor> pffft
<Devit> I want that to be true, idk why it WOULD be but that would be amazing
<Devit> You know my favorite part of that theory
<Jet> I know in Verde's computerized simulation of other Arcos vs his box animals, Viper and Skull were paired up
<Jet> As were Lal and Colonello, with Fong and Reborn working on their own
<Devit> is that if they were brother and sister, they had parents who . . . named their kids Viper and Skull.
<Jet> ......pffffft hahahahahaha
<Devit> Actually I think that's the strongest evidence in favor of it.
<Jet> I can see them not being siblings, but Viper making Skull do free bitchwork for her and like
<Jet> CARRY HER AROUND
<Devit> yes sob
<Jet> WHICH COULD GO WELL WITH THE SIBLING THEORY
<Jet> I'm imagining their parents would be these GOTH OCCULTIST WANNABES or something
<Jet> Which would explain their names.
<Devit> You know what would be funnier though
<Devit> HERE'S MY IDEA
<Devit> Viper's older, I assume, so like--they had Viper first and named her Viper
<Jet> ...if they were hippies who named their kids Sunshine and Lovefest?
<Devit> and then they regretted it so they had Skull and named him like . . . Mervin
<Devit> And Skull was super jealous
<Jet> HA!
<Jet> oh my god yes
<Devit> AND CHANGED HIS NAME!
<Jet> Sleep! That's where Skull's a viking!
<Devit> RALPH IS SKULL'S NEW NAME
<Jet> yes
<Jet> MERVIN RALPH
<Devit> (it's funny because I almost used Martin for the name after Martin from the Simpsons but I decided it wasn't awful enough)
<Jet> And then Viper ended up changing hir name anyways
<Jet> Umu, Mama, Papa...
<Devit> SOB hahahaha
<Devit> She left for the mafia and Skull followed her there too BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE LESS COOL THAN SISTER!
<Devit> Secretly though he wanted to be a stylist

SO I KNOW I JUST KEEP C/PING CANON SUMMARIES FROM THIS SITE but I want them for future ref \o/

( VIPER-RELATED STUFF FROM 150 yaaaaay )


AWESOME.

SOMEONE APP ME SOME MORE ARCOBALENO.

OH APPARENTLY WE ALSO GOT MORE ARCO BACKSTORY IN THE ANIME. FROM HERE AND HERE

( god why am I not in this more! )


So I haven't gotten to watch these yet BUT OIC. Needs more Viper backstory ;A; ALL I GET TO DO IS COUNT MONEY AND NOT BE OFFERED A COOKIE, I WOULD HAVE LIKED A DAMN COOKIE!

We better get some more damn backstory. I mean I know we will but. BUT! 8(

ETA actually, I have this feeling that sie doesn't get offered a cookie because they're deliberately avoiding having hir speak in adult form, which will give away hir sex once and for all.

SURE IS CHICK UP IN HERE

CAN HAS BOX ANIMAL KIND OF MAYBE? I'm unsure if that's hir "real" box animal since sie just says they're easy to maintain because they're lower animals? I DON'T GET IT.

I would probably have more to say about this if I weren't so tired and also if I could actually watch it baw.

SO AS A NOTE, I dropped a lot of threads lately because well I was apping and so on and actually I spent like two nights rereading a canon that wasn't even the one I apped from BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! The point is that since about July 29th I haven't really been threading or finishing stuff that was in progress. I've also posted a lot lately and I know I dropped stuff in those, especially Envy's post, where I crashed out early and then didn't go back.

SO--if I've dropped anything, for Viper Shirley Devit Hyuuga Rise Envy, that you want to pick up, go ahead and link me here! I'll grab it. Some of you have probably already gotten replies from me that are like three days late lolol.

ALSO, I meant to throw adult!Viper into mistletoe and . . . forgot, because I was going to bed just as that post went up. So if anyone wants belated mistletoe threads you can also comment here, just mention in the header that that's what we're doing. That's for Viper. Envy's comment in the last mistletoe post is here, so if anyone wanted Envy, you can go comment there! I don't imagine anyone wants any of the others because they've been there and done that before, BUT IF YOU DO, let me know here and I'll throw them in (or link me to your threads). I missed the mistletoe festivities 8(

Of course this doesn't apply to Tomo, who arrived a few hours too late for mistletoe. ;o;

REBORN EP 142 IS OUT, THE START OF THE ARCOBALENO ARC 8Dd

( cut for spoilers but really minor ones )

IDK, MAN.

omg one week!!!!1

NEW ICON SET I'VE BEEN MEANING TO DO SINCE LIKE FEBRUARY, OLD THREADS SHOULD BE MOSTLY FINE BECAUSE I'M TOO LAZY TO REKEYWORD

THIS IS THE BEST ICON EVER.

AHHHHH A POSTER IS OUT OF THE OLDER ARCOBALENO AHHHHHHHHH oh man AHHHHHH

( UNDER THE CUT )

ETA OKAY YEAH, I THINK I MIGHT AS WELL JUST.

RETCON: AM A CHICK probably

OOPS!?

ETA 2: Okay wrt to the "retcon" thing. We still don't know for sure! I mean looking at the picture I . . . well it's hard to dispute visually because s/he looks A LOT MORE EFFEMINATE THAN SKULL who is otherwise the youngest/girliest looking of the men, and all the other men have Amano's distinctive male lips and nose. And s/he appears to be quite short. So--if he's NOT a girl then he's both very feminine and a lot younger than I expected (actually she looks young for a girl too). But it's possible that this is the case!

Luckily either way it's not really going to affect my play? It's just something for me to keep in mind. XD S/he as a baby is completely androgynous anyway, like, I don't think I stress this enough, but you should not be able to tell whether Viper is male or female ANYWAY. Because his/her . . . hir . . . face and body are obscured and hir voice sounds like this ha ha. :( S/he uses "boku" and can be pretty sexist, so! S/he probably does come off as male. But there is nothing definitive, especially . . . now.

SO until we get like, ABSOLUTE CANON EITHER WAY, I am just going to be sort of tooling along as per usual and not making any hard and fast references to hir physical sex in camp! Which I don't do much anyway \o/ B-but man looking at that, I REALLY DO THINK THE CHANCES OF LADY VIPER ARE SUPER GOOD NOW.

Kuroyuri I finally know your pain, we should hang out sometime.

I WANT TO GO BAKE COOKIES. But it's 4 AM. So I probably should not. Instead, I will do the Viper Essay I mentioned earlier. |<

I can't really tell you yet what exactly this is going to be "about," because what we know of Viper is . . . little, but what's there all ties in together to form the picture, so it's hard to talk about "Viper and money" without talking about "Viper and religion" which leads directly into "Viper and relationships." IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THAT.

( moeblob. SPOILERS I GUESS FOR PLOT POINTS THAT ARE QUITE OLD NOW, through Reborn 179, and also for Fran--existing )

THAT IS THE END, MY MAGICAL GREEDBABY FRIEND.

OH HEY YOU KNOW WHAT A GOOD IDEA IS WHEN YOU WANT FANART FOR ONE OF YOUR CANONS, IS GOING TO GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH AND TYPING IN THE CHARACTER/SERIES IN JAPANESE

SO OBVIOUSLY DOING A SEARCH FOR "07-ghost ハクレン" WILL GET ME PRETTY HAKUREN FANART

TRIPLE-POSTED LIKE A BITCH because I hates fake cuts

Mammon (and Bel) ficlety thing. Contains very vague ironic references to recent manga stuff (179? 180?). So vague that if you hadn't read the chapters you wouldn't realize they were there. So I just shouldn't have said anything EH?

( Mammon calls the affliction fatigue, but Bel calls it naptime because he knows it pisses him off. )

THERE IS AN ESSAY OVER HERE ON MAMMON AND WOMEN AND WHY HE IS NOT ONE.

Contains spoilers for Reborn! 179 and also . . . H-harry Potter?!

BOXY YOU LUCKY SONUVA

yes yes more flashback, give it to me!!

ETA spoilers under the cut and in the comments and links for Reborn 179, translation by saskay OMG

( guyygghdfytryyt78 )

OMGGggggg

So Reborn has ~VIDEO GAMES~ right. And the advertisements for these games are very special and VERY HILARIOUS--basically they're little one-panel comics where Reborn characters play video games with each other in funny or cute ways. Like there's one where Bianchi plays Cooking Mama (with Lussuria as her in-game guidance) and one where Shamal really fails at a dating sim. etc. etc.

I thought I had seen them all but today on the Reborn comm someone pointed out to me that THERE IS IN FACT ONE WITH BEL AND MARMON THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN. A-and she uploaded it and kindly translated it for me from a Chinese forum and um. Well.

The following is courtesy of seki_yumizu who has my eternal thanks 76ujkmiuhjkahahahaha AM I SITTING ON HIS LAP, I THINK I'M SITTING ON HIS LAP

( I AM NOT YOUR PRINCESS, BEL )

<Bel-kun> also why does the princess outfit look ... well. I mean.
<Marmon> Kinda fetishy, Bel?
<Bel-kun> ...
<Bel-kun> shutup marmon
<Marmon> JUST SAYING!
