I designed a mother for Grimmer! We don't know crap about his past so I may as well do my own headcanons. Her name is Elli.
For background, I was thinking she's a single mother who took care of Grimmer. Until the cold war came. Elli was a journalist and she secretly worked amongst groups of people who disagreed with communist ideologies.
And then, a friend of Elli decided to rat her out. Which led to her being politically persecuted for being part of a group that expressed disdain against communism.
Elli, with her little son at the time, had no option but to flee.
Her objective was to cross the Berlin Wall with her son, and got very far. Unfortunately, not far enough. Grimmer's mother ended up being shot at the border and he was then taken to Kinderheim 511.
And that's the context I came up with lolol
My ray of sunshine 🥺💝
Another one
I KNOW this chart is for OCs but I had to make one for Belial.
Elaborating on my choices below 👇
⚠️Huge wall of text incoming!!⚠️
For aesthetics, I chose a picture of someone's back with those black hand markings. I interpret it as the taking of Belial's wings (I headcanon he originally had angel wings 🪽 but were ripped off by Lucilius🤬) and I also interpret it as sexual abuse. Just think about it bro. Like almost every aspect of a primal beast is chosen by its creator, at least the prominent aspects.
Belial was made to be a seductress, which is a charming part of himself imo but the bad part about it is that during the beginning of his existence, it was also his job to be one, for who? I'm thinking for the Astrals.
My impression of the astrals so far is that they're all psychopathic dipshits, which was even confirmed in Heart of the Sun ( GBF anniversary event), that they don't see primal beasts as anything other than tools (according to Raziel). Belial had a purpose that couldn't be shared with anybody else, which was to incite a rebellion. To cover up for it, he had to have another purpose. Which was 1) being Lucifer's adjunctant, and 2) being the Astrals' sex toy.
Belial was an exquisite creation, like a demo of Lucifer (cause they both are similar regarding power). And of course, a primal beast needs to be approved by the council of astrals before usage. Lucilius could've proposed both the functions of being Lucifer's adjunctant and tracking machine, and to make it more appealing, a toy with endless stamina that won't break after being used 😂👎👎 (I imagine the astrals like Greek gods who plucked humans and 'used' them, given their sadistic nature). So Belial, both visually appealing and with an alluring personality, would be the perfect unbreakable toy. A tool and a toy, 2 in 1! Approved!! Awful. A toy who won't fight back, a toy who can't say no, a toy who won't break... ughhh. Primal beasts are obviously sentient, despite their inability to reach human complexity. He was literally built to be unable to connect with others, to be sincere, or to just live a normal life like the other archangels have adapted to. That's cruel 😭
So yeah, I don't care if Belial was made to enjoy what they do to him no matter what, I still consider it sexual abuse because Belial is sentient.
Lmao ok that was for aesthetic picture #1 ☠️ Let's proceed with the rest. For the second aesthetic picture, I selected a white snake wrapped around an arm. The snake represents Belial, the serpent. And the arm represents Lucilius. If you're familiar with WMTSB, you are well aware of how tightly Belial is wrapped around Lucilius' finger, and only hangs on tighter and tighter to the man who named him "worthless" lol. (One of the meanings of "Belial" is worthless).
And the third aesthetic picture I've chosen is that of a snake in applussy. The image represents temptation and lust. Pretty much it. You know the drill, Belial serpent, and the apple of temptation.
Now, we have the favorites. By favorites, it means: favorite color, favorite movie/show, and favorite animal.
For his favorite color, I just went with purple cause that's one of his main colors. It's just a headcanon. He changed his white, gold, and red uniform for a black and purple one. He must like purple🤷♀️
Next, favorite movie, I didn't know honestly. But he strikes me as someone who'd like the absurdity of 1980s horror films. So I chose the Shining. Maybe he'd like it.
And for his favorite animal, I think he'd like cats. They probably remind him of Cilius. Same gaze, same personalities, meow. And it's just cute to imagine him with cats. 🐈⬛
Character inspirations. LMAO. So the first one is that dude Lucifel from El Shaddai. Let's face it, Belial is that guy but with a huge feather boa and huge tits chest and meaty thighs. Massive upgrade tbh
Next up is obviously, Belial the demon. I just put that cuz yk, the name. No need for more explanation.
Then there's the snake of Eden. Belial is the serpent luring others to take a bite out of the apple 🍎 we know this.
The songs are more like what I think of him rather than what I believe applies to him. But at the same time most of those apply to him imo. I don't needa explain just check out the songs yourself, you might like some😁 And that's it.
And finally, there's Lucifer. I know Satan was the snake as well but I'm separating them for the sake of interpretation. By that I mean, Belial is both the serpent and the fallen angel. If you know what I'm saying.
Tenma otōsan (Tenma papá luchón) Parte 1.
Parodia: Monster
Lectura: formato americano.
Just a week away! Woohoo!🎄
Happy Birthday, Kenzo Tenma!
And happy new year!
I love you~
Some wojacks I made.
He's our little meow meow🥺💝
I KNOW this was meant for OCs but I couldn't help but make this for Kenzo.
Elaborating on my choices below 👇
For aesthetics, I added the neurosurgery pic obv. Cloudy weather with rays of sunshine (cause he's a ray of sunshine between all the rain clouds 💗) with birds flying across. And a picnic because our Kenzo likes picnics and I can visualize him all beautiful during a sunny day on a picnic with us 💕
For favorites, that's meant to be favorite color, favorite movie/show, and favorite animal.
I'm not creative so I headcanon his favorite color is blue because idk. Trust me bro.
For his favorite movie, a friend suggested he could've liked Titanic so I added that one, maybe he likes romance/dramas!
And for his favorite animal, I think he'd like birds. We sometimes saw birds appear in the show around Tenma and I view it as a symbol of hope. Like the birds visit him sometimes to remind him to never lose hope and to remember his ways, and honestly that just makes it more beautiful.
Character inspirations are mostly what I analyzed Urasawa could've been inspired by while making Dr Tenma.
We have the archangel Uriel, which is a bit of a stretch but I chose him because someone analyzed Kenzo Tenma's name, and they've concluded that his name means "Light of God", which is the same name meaning that Uriel has.
Then we have, of course, Doctor Tenma from Astroboy. No need to explain why I placed him there.
Next we have Naoki Urasawa himself, I've thought he took a bit about himself in the making of Kenzo. They've shared some physical qualities such as the longer hair and the stubble, they share the same birthday, and often times, authors tend to make characters they can relate to, to some extent.
And finally, I added the protagonist from The Fugitive, since Naoki took inspiration from that 1960s movie when making Monster.
And as for the songs, I probably didn't do it right because I just added the songs that make me think of him, not songs that relate to him lol. So I'm not explaining. I just listen to them and think omg Kenzito🥺💝
Here's the original template:
He's like a delicate flower 💕🌺
