I’ve been getting increasingly obsessed with drawing Kalego lately, and now I’m stuck drawing him from the perspective of my amnesia fic/au…
Speaking of my amnesia fic; I’ve just added a new chapter after like six months!
I’ll refrain from posting any of the fic-based drawings until my updates are caught up since spoilers for the character design (albeit how simple it is).
Thank you to anyone who has been patient for an update, is interested in reading, or is willing to provide constructive criticism!
To anyone that is more up to date or knowledgeable about the lore of @emelinstriker eternal servants au, I need to know if there I a canonical way everyone became servants! I’ve been wondering if I missed it since I’ve never come across that yet!
Once more I need to talk about Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun! Specifically about Mephisto.
As such, manga spoilers ahead!
I've been thinking of the Scala exam a lot recently, and about Mephisto's reaction to Iruma. I realized that this is the first time in the manga that we see someone contrast Iruma from Delkira instead of compare him to.
If you think about it, it is often repeated through the series about how similar Iruma is to Delkira. Asmodeus saw him as Delkira during his first evil cycle when sitting on the throne. Repeatedly Sullivan sees Delkira in Iruma. Amduscias saw Delkira in Iruma during the musical festival. We are pretty consistently reminded the similarities between Iruma and the previous Demon King. It's kinda like we start to see Delkira as this amazing, never wrong being.
I think that is why it is so shocking when we get Mephisto's view point on the very beginning of Delkira as Demon King. For the first time, we see someone viewing Delkira in a negative light. We see Delkira be greedy and selfish enough that someone was essentially fired from the position that they had held for centuries. Mephisto was cast off on the whims of Delkira.
I think it is so interesting that it takes hundreds of chapters to get to this point. When I first read it, it felt wrong. Like 'that's not right.' Iruma is compared so often to this person that seeing something negative about them feels off putting. It's a reminder that Delkira was not perfect.
I also think that is why the conversation between Mephisto and Iruma is so beautiful. Mephisto realizes how different Delkira and Iruma are from each other, and because of those differences, Mephisto sees a future king in Iruma. That Iruma cares so much that he would never cast aside anybody. Everybody is important to him no matter who they are. This is the first time we finally get someone looking at Iruma as a future demon king because he is different from Delkira.
No one means ill by comparing Iruma to Delkira. Instead everybody means the highest respect by doing that, but there is something so refreshing about Iruma being seen as a future leader for being Iruma. For being greedy in a different way. Instead of making it all about himself and his desires, his greed stems from wanting everyone to be happy and fulfilled.
I was not expecting this outcome from the Scala exam. Initially I was very wary of Mephisto, but now I've come to love his character. He just wants to feel needed again, and Iruma offers that without even realizing it. Iruma is so clueless to the impact he has on the demons around him.
I hope my rambling was coherent. Basically, I am really excited for the series to continue and to see how this all progresses. To see Iruma continue to make a name for himself, as himself. This manga is just so beautifully done.
I’m never going to skip a post with Mephisto!
I love the transition of ‘Iruma the helpless human’ to ‘Iruma who is comparable to the Demon King’ to ‘Iruma who is more admirable than the Demon King’. It goes to show how different, yet similar Iruma is to Derkila.
Iruma being the least demonic ‘demon’ makes it apparent that he is what everyone wants and needs in a king. Someone who is just as (if not more) greedy, passionate, and ambitious while also being selfless, hopeful, and considerate.
It goes to show that the rightful owner of the throne is Iruma, for he will rule with the heart of a demon and the mind that is of his own (since he is purer than most humans). He will improve the Netherworld by making all his servants, forming blood pacts, and healing all demon kind!
I need some confirmation from the wtdsik fandom, bcs now I’m confused.
Can anyone tell me whether Kalego likes sweets or not? There was a q&a on X that said that Kalego wasn’t fond of them, but I swear that he’s always eating them. Well, not really always, but in irumafia he ordered like a parfait or sundae, in the outro of s3 he was beside a cake, and I can recall a he would have smth sweet on the table while eating.
I’m just really, REALLY confused. And, honestly, the reason why I’m getting worked up abt this, it’s bcs I was planning to mention it in a fic and I’ve already written it. I don’t want to cut or rewrite it :(
Alejandro saab was on a livestream on TikTok in his cyuu acc, and I asked if he was gna voice macaque in s6. I didn’t expect him to reply but he did.
And he said (more or less), “I don’t even know if there is a s6.”
LIKE WHAT?? I rlly, RLLY need a season 6 and the fact he doesn’t k if it exists!
I need help.
OneShot (?) WTDSIK
The Art Battler is working on a big project to show to the whole of Babyls. The only problem left is that they are struggling on what colour scheme to do. Silvia has the idea to make a survey and see what every student and faculty member’s favourite colour is—or at least what colour they thought represented the school, so that they can find out how much paint of each to buy.
With the help of the Broadcasting Battler, they create and distribute the survey to everyone in Babyls. In no time, the Art Battler has stacks of paper that have the name, class/faculty, chosen colour, and reason why from everybody in the school.
It takes much longer to segregate them into the department, and further by colour, but after six consecutive hours, they finally managed. The results weren’t exactly as they expected, but it was no surprise either. With the new colour scheme in mine, they decide to scrap their idea and start something new and much more fitting.
Does anyone else think that there could be a horcrux situation in WTDSIK regarding Derkila?
I’ve had a feeling lately as I continued to rewatch the anime that maybe Derkila has sort of spilt of his mana— or something of the sort— into artefacts or objects within the Netherworld. Maybe as a way to find a new ruler?
First, there’s the ring of Gluttony. There’s obviously a connection between Alikred and Derkila (their names being an emordnilap (backwards of a palindrome)). We’ve seen how Alikred had emitted mana that has the essence of the missing king during the aptitude test. So, this is a given that, to some extent, Alikred is part Derkila.
Second, the Legendary Leaf. When the leaf blossomed, Derkila had emerged and spoke to Iruma. How else could this happen if Derkila was not connected to it? I’m guessing that Derkila had planted some of his own mana into it so that he would know when it bloomed, or that the mana he planted was able to project Derkila’s figure at that moment.
I can’t recall anything else at this moment, but I find it believable that as Iruma progressed in school, he’s going to have more encounters with Derkila-infused objects. All of which are to show how Iruma is the ‘least demon-like demon’. Which could be what Derkila is looking for in the future king.
Since there are three grades (that I believe are more academic focus and are what I see to be the equivalent to human high school), I can imagine that the creators of WTDSIK will fit a total of six of these horcruxes. Maybe we will have scenes where Iruma will get to personally talk with Derkila through one of them, and Derkila will reveal where he is hiding.
(Though, I think that Alikred is Derkila and will regain his proper form when Iruma reaches a high enough rank—maybe yodh. Either that or it will also take Iruma finding all of these horcruxes and putting them together for Derkila to come back.)
Please share your opinions and feel free to comment any of your own thoughts! I love to hear about theories!
A funny Idea: What would happen if Iruma and Asmodeus are in evil cycle at same time in the school.
Expectation: they are going to destroy the school
Reality: Irumean holds wicked Azz on a leash.
And Egg grandpa takes a picture and sends a copy to Amu-chan.
Oh kalego will take one look at them and will literally fly outta there like FUCK NO
Irumean will have to hold azz in a leash because azz will literally attack anyone who looks at irumean wrong, but also irumean has very high pride in his friends, so anyone who looks at them wrong will be set on fire. And we have to acknowledge the fact that azz did go through a lot of growth (and im really proud of him :,) ) so while he would throw a fire ball at any of his friends in a heart beat if irumean told him to, he would commit genocide if any of them got hurt, and irumean will be cheering if not helping
They will not destroy the school, but anyone who thinks about crossing the abnormal class will rest in pieces.
But outside of that, the amount of lighthearted chaos they will bring to the school will be fantastic . Last time irumean got them the forbidden room this time they're ruling the school and they're gonna terrorise everyone so much opera's days will look like a kids fight
And the teachers wont be able to do anything because irumean is observant, he is smart and he will bring out your weak point and abuse it with no shame. But he is still iruma, so he knows when to stop, when to smile, and when the easiest root is to gain their loyalty rather than force it or blackmail his way to it
And with a WP Azz? Blackmailing teachers is easy cause he is the leash holding him back, but he can't really hold him back that much so teachers will have to either do whatever they want or kick them out of school, but will sullivan really force irumean to go home uf he really wants to stay at school?
And i think irumean will make wp azz become more feral because when sabro calmed him down before, azz's vibe were calm, serene, but irumean's vibes are anything but. His vibes are bold, chaotic and edgy, so how will azz calm down when the iruma in front of him isn't calm? He won't. He will be more feral, his fires will shine brighter, and if left unsupervised all that will be left behind are ashes of what used to be
my brain hears r churning and playing so many scenarios for this!
I can imagine that both their wickedness would be amplified if they had it together—like it was feeding off the other’s. So I can believe that it would be absolutely unhinged.
I can picture Irumean lording over Kalego with summoning stickers in hand. A clear threat that the teacher can’t silence. Irumean would probably summon him repeatedly to boss him around, and Kalego could do nothing but obey as he seethed.
To follow up on the leash thing, my mind conjured up Azz being physically tethered to Irumean. I imagined that Irumean would’ve given him one of those collars that Opera showed him (actually, he probably would have given one to Kalego since they are for familiars). But, basically, Irumean is striding along the halls with a chain in hand connected to cerulean-coloured leather around Azz’s neck.
Azz would stay within arms reach of Irumean for the whole ordeal. He probably would be standing—or swaying— behind Irumean during classes, all of his attention directed to his lord. The only time his focus would be redirected is if he senses or hears anything negative about Irumean. If he does, he’d go absolutely feral. There is no stopping him unless Irumean personally asked him to.
I also could see Irumean casually reaching his hand out to scratch him behind the ears or pat him on the head to show satisfaction. Azz would definitely lean into the touch, and would seem significantly calmer.
Another note, Azz’s fire would for sure burn blue, and he’d be so happy to watch the blazing hue be of use to his lord.
After it’s all over, everyone is clearly traumatised, having witnessed too much for their own good. Kalego would give them both sixty-six times more work (Iruma would get even more later on when he admits he doesn’t know how to remove the collar off of him, and Opera is the only one who does, but they would never spill).
rewatching wtdsik and I js finished the royal one arc, but there’s smth on my mind… when they got inside, Iruma went straight for the throne.
I was thinking that it was unlike him to do that, and I know that the whole point of an evil cycle is to amplify a demon’s demonic behaviour, but then I realised again that Iruma was human. He doesn’t have demonic instincts or behaviours, and the only thing making him be wicked was Alikred.
Alikred was used a spell to make him a ‘bad boy’, and who’s the baddest boy in demon history that Alikred could base him off? Derkila. It would make sense that he would need to imagine an example of a ‘bad boy’ to turn Iruma into one, since that’s kind of how Iruma used a spell to give Alikred a form.
So, I think the reason why Iruma was so drawn to leading his class to transferring to the Royal One - and taking his place on Derkila’s throne - was because Alikred mixed in some of his Derkila mindset (leadership and being king) with Iruma’s personality (greedy for selfless reasons and helpful).
That’s probably also why Iruma had so many parallels with Derkila during this arc. Including the shadow of a cloak shown in that one scene with Kalego. I’m thinking now that it was some type of Demon King energy manifesting visually.
If this was somewhat confirmed or busted somewhere then I’d really appreciate knowing. I’m losing it now from the theorising! I’d also really like others opinions on this or expanding the theory!
Guys, we listen and we don’t judge.
If anyone out there has indulged in this glorious reader fic on ao3 called ‘Moon Knight and Sun King (Possessed Sun Wukong Story)’, reading this fic on repeat is a guilty pleasure of mine…
@cacophony-eg is the creator of this masterpiece and I need to credit her for this, because of how amazing the world building, characters, and plot are! I may have even spent an hour (or two) writing a whole essay of a comment on chapter nineteen as a deep dive on my thoughts.
I might be going crazy.
I’ve done some digging into satbk and fics from the fandom but for the love of me, I can’t find any where Lancelot and shadow genuinely meet! Like if sonic brought shadow to Camelot or Lancelot to mobius (or if either somehow transported to the other)!
Does any sonic fan know any or where I can find them? I would’ve thought there would be some, but there isn’t! Since I’m still a new gen fan, I don’t think I’d be able to write something myself, but maybe someone out there will take inspiration (I’m getting desperate now)
*slapping the table*: HE. IS. HIS. SUN!!!!!
For those who don't know, Sun Wukong canon War Form has 3 heads and six arms. I saw a couple of fanarts and I mostly saw him having long flowly hair but I prefer to create something a little more... sunny?? idk if you got it.
Happy Christmas!
Next part is coming on December 26th 1PM ET
LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH BECAUSE IM WEAK IN THE KNEES RN!! THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT I CAN ASK FOR😫😫
To all my wtdsik fans looking for a fic with an amnesiac Kalego who has strongly committed to his position as a familiar for Iruma, then try this silly little fic I’ve started writing!
Basically, Kalego loses his memories and when he wakes up he is told that he is Iruma’s familiar (both instances were because of a certain security devil), to which he just accepts the fact and falls into the job.
It’s still a work in progress, and I’m taking in suggestions or inspiration for the plot! I hope you enjoy!
Someone should told me abt the active skulduggery pleasant fandom on tumblr!
I haven’t read all of the books because I’ve been borrowing it in my school library, so I’ve only completed up to death bringer and half of kingdom of the wicked.
I’m so excited to keep reading this series (I’m in love w the world building in it!) and see how Valkyrie grows up!!
IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! COME AND GET YOUR REWARD Y'ALL!! SPICYNOODLE IS OFFICIALLY CANON!!! (In the AU)
Holy shit Red Son true form is taaaaaalllll (MK our short King baby boy you better climb your man)
And yeah, they are in a cell in heaven, and MK freedom is on the line, and this is the most crazy and out of the place time and place for this. But it's THEM. Of COURSE they would have their first kiss in the most crazy of the situations.
I don't know if I have the words for how much stupid silly "12-years-old-girl-screaming-energy" happiness gived me this chapter. I had 2 weeks of 11 hours of work every single day, I lost countless hours of sleep and hadn't seen the sun in days, but man everyday after 7pm, knowing that i got to draw this part was what at the end of the day gave me back almost all the energy and motivatiom.
They are so stupid and in love your honor, I love them so much.
Next part is coming on December 8th 2PM
