[gritty trout]

Bon-Bon Bakudan!

[mellow hemlock]

Ok I've successfully contained it

[gritty trout]

i see

[mellow hemlock]

Gonna try to draw Kalego for KalRobiBal. I'm ready to hate life once more

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[worthy canopy]

I'm excited for it I love that idea

[mellow hemlock]

Ugya I give up on drawing for now. At least traditionally. My hand is for some reason really shaky lmao

[mellow hemlock]

Don't light the flame again I barely contained the explosion

[worthy canopy]

we've reached 6k messages

[mellow hemlock]

YIPPEE

[worthy canopy]

I have a feeling we might slow down on the screaming here since we're all focused on cooking in secrecy now but once the event rolls around we're going to have the equivalent of a nuclear explosion

[mellow hemlock]

6666 is our new goal

Pretty much LMAO

[worthy canopy]

GFSEFHKGD we reach 6666 and then nobody sends a message anymore just so we can stay at that number /j

[mellow hemlock]

We bottled up the explosions and then once the cork has been removed, the entire bottle is gonna completely explode

Idky my hand is so shaky but dammit let me draw Kalego

[worthy canopy]

trying to draw him normally is already a challenge

I have one and a half kalrobibal illustrations sketched out I think by the time 40 days have gone by I might have. so many

I'm gonna AAAAA@QQQQQQWAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

I wish I could say the same but some wips take months bc I'm a procrastinator who is so incredibly slow at drawing that I make no progress even when I actually do it

[worthy canopy]

I consider myself slow compared to other artists but at the same time I'm still an artist and this is my main job so jferhjhfs by the end of the 40 days I'm gonna have drawn kalrobibal cuddling from every possible pose and angle

[mellow hemlock]

JFJCHCJC

I'm managing to draw this insufferable bastard (Kalego) out of sheer spite rn

[worthy canopy]

I wish we could delete kalego out of the equation so bad oh my god. by the 13th I'll either have finally learned to draw kalego OR I'll have lost every bit of my sanity from trying to draw him so much

[mellow hemlock]

If I don't learn how to draw Kalego even a little bit better by the end of this one piece I'm drawing I'm gonna explode

I found the solution to drawing Kalego

You need a lot of spite

You need to be fueled entirely by it when you're drawing him

Just like Kalego himself

Otherwise you cannot harness his image

[small oxide]

every time i read this batra i feel like im going to physically implode

[mellow hemlock]

I'm at work with the shakiest hand known to man but, with the power of spite, I did it

[mellow hemlock]

Me too

[mellow hemlock]

I need to fix the arms but problem for future me

By future me I mean me rn bc it's bothering me

Best I can manage for now

[tropic torrent]

So I drew Robin—

[mellow hemlock]

Accurate

Struggles of trad drawing being you drew too close to one side and you need more space, but you can't extend the canvas or move the drawing more to the middle

[tropic torrent]

Ahsiususususisuisus

[worthy canopy]

he looks good

[worthy canopy]

HFSEEFHBVS

[small oxide]

LMFAOOO THIS IS SO PERFECT

[mellow hemlock]

This batra has really simmered down with the forced silence

I mean not an incredible amount and nothing compared to the deadness of before but less content is being shared since there's no outside content, and the inside content is being saved

[worthy canopy]

yes and also I've been asleep for the last 12 or something hours

and when I'm not here to scream the battler gets quieter HGTFYHUJHHYG

[worthy canopy]

after the 3 of them get together ........ robin pleading and begging kalego to cuddle to fall asleep w/ the two of them and this mf is adamantly refusing like "you'll disrupt my sleep !!" but after a lot of whining he reluctantly accepts

my brain is fixated on seeing them cuddle

[mellow hemlock]

Balam and Robin are very cuddly demons so I see why

[worthy canopy]

true

I think it's that + the fact that kalego is Absolutely Not so it makes the whole thing more fun

[mellow hemlock]

Aghhhh I want to see one of the teachers having an "ah" moment when it finally clicks in their head their dating, or at the very least, not regular coworkers. Like maybe they see Balam's face softens in a way different than usual that's just so affectionate and soft that there's no other way describe it but adoration and love.

[mellow hemlock]

Cuddly demon x cuddly demon x fucker who HATES physical affection

[worthy canopy]

<3333 LOOVEEE AAAAA I love them

[worthy canopy]

[mellow hemlock]

The teacher being like "haha maybe I'm wrong" and then Robin is all over him and he's petting Robin and ok that still isn't that strange I mean it's Balam he's always petting someone—and then they see Balam's expression from earlier returning when he watches Kalego and Robin interact together and there's no more "no no maybe I'm wrong" they can try to convince themselves of

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAOOAGUGGH4H2948U42JUWI

I'm having a normal time

oh my fucking god

I love that

[mellow hemlock]

If they squint, Kalego's irritated expression is slightly different than normal around Robin. They decide to stop squinting and instead look away.

[worthy canopy]

I love that they all presumably had their jealousy arcs when they were first figuring out this polyamory thing but eventually after talking abt it they figured it out and now they love to see the other two interact and do so with a loving gaze even if they're not participating

[mellow hemlock]

HCCHHCCHCCH

I kinda forgot jealousy arcs are a thing

[worthy canopy]

JHEYJAWEHYAJWHY

[worthy canopy]

the why at the end of this message was accidental

[mellow hemlock]

I've kinda. All just written my KalRobiBal as the other (usually... Actually always Balam) thinking "I wish I could be part of that too" instead of "I wish that was me"

[worthy canopy]

both feelings would probably be involved at some point

[mellow hemlock]

True

I just like to imagine Balam cares about the two's happiness so much he's happy seeing the two of them being happy together, he just wishes he could also be part of that happiness, and help contribute to it

But I do also imagine he may have brief fleeting thoughts of "if it were me instead, could I bring out that same happiness x does?" that he scolds himself over

[worthy canopy]

I want to sink my teeth into kalrobibal

[mellow hemlock]

Me when KalRobiBal

Also me when KalRobiBal

[worthy canopy]

[mellow hemlock]

Meanwhile Kalego has been fostering a crush he thought was onesided on Balam for years that he's just pushed aside/ignored, and Robin has plenty of love to give

[worthy canopy]

GHHHHGHHTUHYT724782

it's so funny the onl yone who has ANYTHIGN figured out abt their own feelings is robin

[mellow hemlock]

The so-called idiot of the trio

[worthy canopy]

kalego: deep in denial
balam: can't make a move
robin: robin

[mellow hemlock]

HFBGBHH

SOMEONE has to be able to make any moves/state their emotions clearly, or else they'd be stuck in pinning/denial hell forever like Balam and Kalego was

[worthy canopy]

EJHYAWEHAYHGEAUWEHU it'd be really funny

but also painful

[mellow hemlock]

I'm p sure I mentioned Robin unintentionally made Kalego out his crush on Balam to Balam after years of hiding it from him in my fatherhood au

[worthy canopy]

I think you did

[mellow hemlock]

Kalego should thank him actually

[worthy canopy]

HUAWYEHAWIUEHIAWUE

[mellow hemlock]

I mean they've been dancing around each other since they were students

And literally all it took was one outing question from Robin to solve that

[worthy canopy]

he really should thank him but I doubt he would

[mellow hemlock]

He'd rather die

I had accidentally cut off the final paragraph of this bit last time so

.... “... That has nothing to do with Kalego-kun’s potential anger, though.” He murmurs quietly. Regardless of how much Kalego tolerated him, Balam highly doubts he’d fully accept the one person he allowed into his life in such a way having kissed him. He can only hope he won’t hate him. Anger, he could tolerate, but hate? He didn’t want to imagine it.

“Hmmmm… that’s true. He might get jealous I stole one first!”

What? Balam thinks internally.

“Eh?” Balam says aloud.

“I so gotta brag about this to Kalego-sensei! I can’t wait to see the look on his face when I tell him I kissed you first!” Robin springs up with a look of absolute excitement, and Balam had never grabbed someone so fast in his life.

“Wait!!” Really! Did he wish to run face first into his own death?! And what did he even mean by ‘first’??

And then immediately following this scene, after Robin bursts into Kalego's room to brag about the kiss,

Robin pouts as he adjusts the books on his head he wore as punishment, "Hey hey, are you really that mad about me kissing Balam-sensei first, Kalego-sensei? If you wanted to kiss him that badly, you shoulda just said so!"

"Don't be stu—" Balam's buzzer goes off, "—pid…" Kalego's voice dies out, as if realizing what had just happened.

Oh, is all Balam can think. And then the room falls silent. Very, very silent.

"What what? Why is everyone so quiet?"

A crackle, and Cerberus appears, all three heads menacing as ever as Kalego approaches Robin, "You. Die." He growls with the face of a man ready to commit manslaughter.

"Why?!"

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAA WWR2U8R8283 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm exploding blowing up oh my god I love it so much

[mellow hemlock]

Balam confused why in the Devi he wants to brag to Kalego about kissing him, is he trying to hurt him? And then finds out it's because Kalego likes him too

[worthy canopy]

UGHGHGGGAOG9398 I think I forgot to say this before but ur robin kissin g balam thing that u shared is like my favorite I think about it all the time

this is so good

[mellow hemlock]

U mentioned it and I'm happy hehehehehe

He just wanted a little kissy kiss

[worthy canopy]

I'm freaking out kalrobibal will be the death of me

[mellow hemlock]

Me too

I'm gonna explode

[worthy canopy]

[mellow hemlock]

I

Need to write KalRobi kiss right this second

[worthy canopy]

I want to see kalrobibal angst where before they have anything figured out they feel anxiety/jealousy seeing the other 2 interact like robin seeing how close kalego and balam are and how much softer kalego is with him compared to how he treats him. balam seeing kalego and robin interact and thinking they look perfect together and wondering if he really "fits" into the picture. kalego watching balam and robin being soft and cuddly together and feeling bitter about it because he wants to be part of that and he's mad that he wants to be part of that and he has these feelings that he's been trying to bury and deny and he fucking hates feeling this way and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

Gonna drop dead

Need

KalRobiBal

Accidentally said KalRobi kiss I meant RobiBal kiss

I need to write RobiBal kiss right this second or I will combust into sixty six quintillion little pieces

[mellow hemlock]

And now I'm gonna be thinking about jealousy arc KalRobiBal at the same time bc of this and

[worthy canopy]

[mellow hemlock]

Brb need to word vomit a RobiBal kiss

[mellow hemlock]

I

Love them so much

I love writing Robin and Balam kissing so much

They're so soft

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

Hng

Robin runs his fingers through long locks of white hair. Robin likes Balam's long hair, it was soft and pretty. And on the rare occasions when Robin was in a position that allowed him to actually run his hands through it starting from his scalp, Balam would often release a low, pleased rumble from his throat that had Robin feeling warm, fuzzy, giddy, and so many more incredible emotions he couldn't name. And when Balam proceeded to let out exactly this sound, Robin's urge to kiss the other demon increased ten—no—a hundredfold.

He's gotten used to kissing over Balam's mask at this point, as he never removed it and Robin was overall just happy to kiss Balam as a whole. But this time he wanted to kiss Balam all over his face, and the cold, hard mask was in the way.

"Hey hey, Balam-sensei?" Starts Robin, patting his back to get Balam's attention. Balam gives a questioning hum from his position of nuzzling into Robin's neck.

"Would it be ok if I removed your mask? I really really want to kiss you properly right now." Balam stiffens at his question, causing Robin to stick his lower lip out in a small pout.

"No?" If Balam actually doesn't want to, it can't be helped… but he wasn't lying when he said he really wanted to kiss him.

"It is… unsightly, to say the least." Is Balam's eventual, quiet response.

"I don't care about that, I just want to kiss you. Please?" Robin presses, fueled entirely by his desire that just keeps growing by the second. He was always hoping he could eventually kiss Balam on his lips, and was just patiently waiting for Balam to allow it… but he can at least speed up the process a teeny tiny bit by asking beforehand, right? Right!

After several moments of silence from Balam that Robin had dejectedly accepted as refusal, a small sigh wafted against Robin's neck before Balam withdrew.

Balam's eyes is casted away from Robin until finally meeting Robin's, "... Go ahead." He says. Robin beams.

"Really?! Really really really?! I can actually kiss you finally?? It's okay???"

"Yes, it's okay." Balam nods, a small hidden smile creasing his eyes slightly. Robin couldn't wait to see what it looked like behind the mask. Unable to contain himself with the final confirmation of permission granted, Robin wasted no more time in rushing to remove the mask.

One click, two, and Robin carefully placed his beloved demon's precious mask to the side and looked up to properly see Balam's face.

"Woah…" Robin breathes out, eyes widening at the sight as he slowly raises his hands up to the scar, but stops just before touching it, "Would it hurt if I touch it?"

Balam shakes his head, "It's old, so no."

"Can I?"

"Go ahead." Balam permits. Although Balam had said it wouldn't hurt, Robin is still careful with his touch, just in the off-chance it does.

"Your fangs are huge."

"Mhm, I know."

"So pretty…" Robin glides his hand along the other demon's cheek until he's caressing it with his smaller hand. The ridges and bumps of the scar and his exposed fangs were pleasant on Robin's skin. "... No take-backs on the kiss, right?" Balam leans into the hand caressing his scarred cheek. Robin can finally see what his smile looks like without the mask.

"No, there isn't."

They're gonna be the death of me

I didn't really know what I was writing, I just really really really wanted to write them kiss

I need to write KalRobi kiss too now that I think about it

[worthy canopy]

OH MY GODAWE929492

[mellow hemlock]

HEHEHE

I LOVE THEM!!!

Robin just wants to kiss him!!! He just wants to give him a kissy!!!!!

He just wants to show Balam how much he loves him!!!

KalRobi kiss is like

Robin kissing Kalego all over, or trying to before getting shoved away, and then Kalego showing him what a kiss is supposed to be like

If Kalego is feeling generous enough to do so, that is

Or maybe, just to mess with Robin, provides the example using Balam instead

Balam's just drawing a picture book nearby or working on assignments for Babyls when Kalego suddenly just comes over, removes his mask, and kisses him while Robin screams,

"AHHH!!!! NO FAIR!!! I WANNA KISS BALAM-SENSEI TOO!!! AND YOU DIDN'T LET ME KISS YOU EITHER!"

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

so much screaming today

I"m fucking dying

kalrobibal is killing me

[mellow hemlock]

I had to kalrobibal explosion here already

[mellow hemlock]

This spirals into Kalego and Robin both trying to kiss Balam who wasn't even paying attention to the conversation prev happening

[worthy canopy]

balam about to have a heart attack

[mellow hemlock]

Robin trying to kiss Balam with his needy little smooches and Kalego going "no, that's not right. I already showed you how to do it yet you can't even do it right? It's like this" and then demonstrates a proper lip to lip kiss on Balam again who is ???????

Balam after the second kiss from Kalego: You two, what's going on..?;;

Kal: I'm simply demonstrating to the Newbie how one is supposed to kiss, since he doesn't appear to know how to do so.

Robin: I do!! Watch!!

Balam, getting his face turned to face Robin: Wait a mo—(gets kissed)

robin kissing kalego again to show that he learned ............

[mellow hemlock]

YES

.... But then he ends up trying to smooch all over again

[worthy canopy]

how is he supposed to help himself !!!!!!!!!!!!! it's kalego !!!!!!!!!!!

[mellow hemlock]

Exactly!!!

Gonna sleep so well knowing I wrote RobiBal kiss

[worthy canopy]

I on the other hand will never fall sleep ever again bc I have kalrobibal parasite in my mind that won't let me stop exploding /j

[mellow hemlock]

The parasite that forces you to kalrobibal or else your brain will physically explode

I still can't get over Kalego walking into the history prep room before classes to wake up Shichiro since he always struggles to wake up on time, only to find Robin snuggled up with him. And when questioned why the hell Robin was there, half asleep Balam is ? .....? ???

Bonus points if Robin was already awake when Kalego came in bc he's an early bird and was just kinda stuck there bc Balam's hold was strong and he didn't want to wake him up. It was comfortable, anyway

"Robin-sensei... how did we end up on my nest together..?"

"Oh that? Welllll, you fell asleep while I was still working on the assignments—guess I was more focused on them than I thought—and since I was on your lap, you ended up clinging to me? I didn't want to wake you up, so I just kept working on my assignments since I was almost done. But at some point, you seemed to wake up.

I tried to greet you and asked if I could go now that you were awake, but I guess you weren't fully awake since you didn't seem to hear a word I said and just picked me up before taking me to your nest!

Your grip was even stronger that time, and would get even tighter the more I spoke to you, so I just decided to stay! Anyways, good morning to you also, Kalego-sensei!!"

Balam is. Embarrassed, to say in the least

He just forced one of his co-workers to essentially cuddle with him through the night

[worthy canopy]

HEHAWHEHAWIEAUWHEUIUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

"It must've been highly uncomfortable for you, I apologize, Robin-sensei..."

"Eh? No your nest was actually pretty comfortable! I'd love use it again sometime maybe!"

[worthy canopy]

balam embarrassed beyond belief thinking of the suffering he put robin through . robin very happy that he got to snuggle and cuddle

[mellow hemlock]

Just a happy little lad

Kalego is listening to how this absurd situation had unfolded and getting a migraine already

[worthy canopy]

at some point during the explanation he decides they're not worth the headache and just leaves. too much trouble

[worthy canopy]

I just realized I said this and then changed the pose again so it would be side view again and struggled with it again . hell on earth

wait I get it. I sounded like a jehovah's witness

[worthy canopy]

I said the 13th I meant the 6th the date changed

[tropic torrent]

Mmmmm food

[stable ruin]

yea

[worthy canopy]

can't let the whole battler go hungry

This batra single handedly infected me with brainworms,, they

AAAAAAAAAAAAA SO CUTEEEEAAAASWWAAWTY55YHY5EEAAAAAAA

another one falls to the disease

[flat plinth]

It spreads so fast

[tropic torrent]

I’m struggling so much to write Kalrobi it’s not even funny

[mellow hemlock]

UGYAAAAAAAAAAA OUR DISEASE HAS SUCCESSFULLY SPREAD ALREADY THIS IS INCREDIBLE RESULTS

[mellow hemlock]

Also understandable. The first au I had of them, I had to rewrite Kalego and Robin a decent amount because I kept finding the characterization was off

[tropic torrent]

I’m wondering if I should give up rewriting and just bullshit things at this point

[mellow hemlock]

Sometimes bullshitting works and you can just come back later to fix it. Or just accept it as is

[worthy canopy]

I find that to get characters personalities right when writing I have to re-watch/read the source material while paying special attention to the character and taking mental (or physical) notes of shit they say and do, otherwise they end up being ooc

I had to do that with kalego but honestly I still feel like I write him ooc sometimes

guess I gotta re-watch the anime for like the 4th time

[gritty trout]

what does "ooc" mean?

[worthy canopy]

out of character

though sometimes it means out of context. but I'm using it to mean out of character

[gritty trout]

oh i see

[mellow hemlock]

I guess I'll need to rewatch the anime too, cause I feel like Kalego's character is slipping away from me the more I write him

[worthy canopy]

let's study him like he's an endangered species and share notes

[gritty trout]

Yes

[mellow hemlock]

He's a unique specimen

[worthy canopy]

put him in a cage and analyze his behaviors

[gritty trout]

no

let him be in his natural habitat

it'll give better results

[worthy canopy]

true

[mellow hemlock]

Poke him with a stick

[gritty trout]

let me do it

i wanna poke him with a stck

getting into kalrobibal has been fun bc it's making me appreciate balam way more as a character

I always like him but now he's becoming one of my faves

I love that art

[mellow hemlock]

It's Easter art

Opera and Kalego: >burst in<

Balam: Kalego-kun! Senpai!

Kalego, storming up: show me what you got, Shichiro!

Balam: eh?!

Kalego, yoinking the egg: Like I thought! On your own with your own eg—... This egg is confiscated!

Balam, crying: Huuuh? Give it backkkkk TT

Opera: Kalego-kun, getting a headstart is unforgivable!

Robin, staring at the egg he was painting with Balam: This is Balam-sensei's...?

It seems Robin got into the misunderstanding that it was Balam's egg. As in, he laid it. Good job Kalego

[worthy canopy]

JUAYHWEUIAWJEAWEIAWHEAWIUE

[mellow hemlock]

I like how he just looks curious

Like ohhh so this is Balam-sensei's?

[worthy canopy]

JHYEHAWEHAIU I love hi mSOOO MUCHHH

[mellow hemlock]

Ahhh but Robin and Balam painting eggs together is so cute....

[worthy canopy]

robibal ..... so soft

I usually like ships w/ more angst potential

but robibal is like . the fluffiest ship ever

and I love it

[mellow hemlock]

Same. Like I was obsessed with irukiri bc of that and had put RobiBal/KalRobiBal to the side due to lack of interest from any other sources, but now that I found someone just as insane I came running back full speed

The only angst I ever made of them was the quick traitor Robin thing I was considering. Otherwise my brain is just full of fluff for them

My angst obsessed brain just sleeps for once whenever RobiBal is involved

Me: oh yeah, fluff? It's okay, but I prefer angst, or when it's just comfort after angst. Or even better, false fluff/twisted fluff!

Also me, when RobiBal: they need to hold hands and kiss softly everywhere and laugh and smile and be happy forever

[mellow hemlock]

Somehow misread 返 as 卵, I think I was thinking about eggs too much thanks to Kalego. Anyways poor Balam was crying for Kalego to give his egg back

[worthy canopy]

[worthy canopy]

frfr for me I love stuff like one-sided love and romantic angst or love that ends in tragedy but. w/ (kal)robibal it justs makes me go "they need to be snuggly and cuddle and go kissy kissy and give each other so much love"

[mellow hemlock]

I'm at work and I'm gonna explode because of KalRobiBal

[worthy canopy]

I'm not at work and I'm gonna explode because of kalrobibal

I used to be able to side view as long as it wasn't the body, but then I stopped practicing and now I can't draw anything side view anymore

[worthy canopy]

fortunately or unfortunately I am a stubborn little bastard and will not this stop me

If it's Kalego you're drawing side view just remember that the more spite you have, the better the result

it's robin .........

Endless despair or extreme joy

from "kalego x robin x balam? lol that's a thing?" to "I am literally going insane kalrobibal has taken ahold of my every thought" in a couple of weeks.

be careful. if it happened to me it could happen to anyone. no one is safe

[worthy canopy]

I just realized robin's hair from the side works with mickey mouse-like logic where they're not really 3d and just always look 2d

like mickey mouse's ears

[mellow hemlock]

Iruma's does the same thing haha

Maybe it just sticks out in all directions

[worthy canopy]

they defy reality

they make me sick in the head

[mellow hemlock]

Robin:

[worthy canopy]

ROBINNNNN

[mellow hemlock]

It's how he broke into kalbal

[worthy canopy]

shichikal. balego. kalbal. the lack of agreement on the ship names drives me insane ngl

[mellow hemlock]

I call it ShichiKal bc that's the official name in jp fandom

I just called it kalbal bc someone did here prev lol

[worthy canopy]

I've seen it tagged as balego on tumblr

[mellow hemlock]

I think that's bc eng fandom never calls Balam Shichiro, just Balam. Which makes sense, literally only Kalego and his parents that appeared for one ch after like 180~ chapters call him Shichiro

Since I was in jp fandom b4 the English one, I keep switching between the two I can never make the full switch

[worthy canopy]

I think the other fandoms I've been in had way more of an agreement between what ship names were semi-official so I'm way more used to that

this one. has no such thing. the fandom can't even agree on the proper romanization of the names

[mellow hemlock]

Well

The issue is there was no official English manga

And different official translations for the anime gave different romanizations

And then the early manga was a whole hellhole of spellings with the terrible wicked house "translations" that was done for the manga

That's why you see older works refer to Shichiro as "Siricue" or whatever

AO3 eventually combined the two tags into just one so if someone tagged it using that spelling, it just combines with Shichiro

Like I use Kiriwo for Kirio bc I watched the anime on CR that uses that spelling

But CR also spelled Marbas as Mathlus or something LMAO

In my defense though, Kiriwo is actually the official romanization, misfits just uses Kirio

[topaz lynx]

I was wondering what was up with "Siricue"

[mellow hemlock]

Blame wicked house. Apparently, majority of their translation was just an mtl of a translation in another language, I think it was Portuguese or something

Or Indonesian?

I don't remember

All the terrible translations were the MTL ones

[worthy canopy]

my language ^_^

that's crazy tho

[mellow hemlock]

Yeah immediately after saying Portuguese I backtracked bc I vaguely recalled seeing letters that I wasn't at all familiar w seeing in Portuguese

I don't think I'm ever gonna wake up bc to me it was the opposite I went for like months thinking kalego was whatever and then suddenly I fell hopelessly in love

and haven't gotten out

[mellow hemlock]

I found one of my messages going crazy because Cielle insulted Kalego on Twitter

This is in a thread of one of my aus, hence why I came in and said "Kalego has been killed off the series is over"

Despite liking him at the time, I had no issues ever threatening to kill him off in this au bc he was Cielle's favorite. It was my go-to threat

[topaz lynx]

[worthy canopy]

I love that frame

he looks so pathetic in that pose

Consider: Kalego fainting like this when Balam reveals to him that he has recently started dating Robin

[worthy canopy]

EAHWIEAIUWEHAHIUEWHIUA

wait this would be his reaction in that

shitpost where he and robin have 6 children

[mellow hemlock]

Dream him faints at the same time he wakes up from the nightmare, only for real him to proceed to faint immediately afterwards

[worthy canopy]

imagine

he wakes up from that nightmare to find that he fell asleep on his desk from overworking himself with balam shaking him awake

and balam tells him he's dating robin

and he faints again

[worthy canopy]

he falls on the floor this time

[mellow hemlock]

What if it was this but he fainted from Balam telling him he was dating Robin, and then when he woke up he thought it was a nightmare, only for Balam to sigh and go "Jeez, fainting just because I said I was dating Robin-sensei is a bit much, Kalego-kun" and then he faints again

[deft ridge]

Before it plagues my mind any longer, could I post a Kalrobi shower thought here?

This batra has effected me way more than I expected

[worthy canopy]

yes of course

[deft ridge]

Cool!

After finally getting the courage to ask Kalego to a fancy dinner, Robin is ecstatic to hear Kalego actually accept the invite. The two go to some fancy restaurant and eat together, however Robin had plans to confess his feelings to Kalego.
Somewhere near the end of dinner, perhaps before dessert, Robin pulls out a small cactus and is ready to confess his feelings. Then suddenly, Kalego gets an urgent call from someone and pays for the food, before leaving Robin at the table alone. A little disappointed, Robin decides to wait for tomorrow since he'll see Kalego again. Execpt the next time he sees him...

He ends up realizing Kalego was already with Balam >:)

(Yes the last bit was a last minute decision)

[worthy canopy]

OUCH (loves it)

[tropic torrent]

He even got a cactus T^T

[tropic torrent]

Honestly you don’t even need to ask. We’re all starving.

All new members are welcome to scream about the brainrot

[deft ridge]

Glad to know-

[tropic torrent]

Now I’m wondering what happens next AHHHHHHHHH

After he finds out about Kalego and Balam, Robin doesn’t know how to feel. On one hand, he’s really happy for Kalego. He wants the best for him, really, and he can’t deny the fact that Balam and him had always seemed close. They fit together well.

On the other hand, he isn’t quite able to squish down the sadness and jealousy he feels towards them. Robin ends up staring at the cactus he had bought dejectedly, the other teachers start to catch on.

“Is that from Kalego-sensei?” One of the teachers ask about the cactus. Robin shakes his head, strangely quiet as he continues staring at it. The other teachers were all stunned. Robin hadn’t been quiet for so long before… let alone this dejected for so long.

Murmur ends up dragging him to therapy (I need my murmur fill in this) and finds out about the whole Kalego/ Balam thing. They then work together to help Robin get over his feelings for Kalego

[worthy canopy]

also I'm so glad our indoctrination is actually effective let's fucking go HAHAHAHAHA

[deft ridge]

Ohh it's working XD

[tropic torrent]

Meanwhile Kalego is extremely confused cause he hadn’t been bothered by a certain bundle of green for the longest time. For the first time ever, Robin seemed to be avoiding him. He didn’t know what to think about this. At first, it was kind of peaceful, but he finds himself getting uneasy the more days that go by with Robin actively ignoring him.

Balam asks about Kalego’s confusion. Kalego explains about how weirdly Robin’s been acting. He wants to ask Robin about it but Kalego is fricking emotionally constipated and bad at conversing with others so he decides not to. Balam decides that he should have a chat with Robin, especially since it was affecting Kalego.

Robin does not want to talk. He doesn’t want to burden Balam with the weight of the mess he was in. Especially since Balam was technically involved as well. Robin doesn’t hate Balam, quite the opposite actually, so he doesn’t want Balam to worry about his feelings for Kalego as he doesn’t want to complicate their relationship.

But you know, Balam has buzzer, so he eventually presses it out of Robin

[worthy canopy]

everyone is welcome. especially for a rareship like this. don't be intimidated by our screaming hgsdfhjhd

[tropic torrent]

And well frick. Balam doesn’t know what to think of this whole mess. He tries to comfort Robin about it and all.

and oh gosh this is becoming a full fic I might be able to feasibly write.

Mind if I just… yoink this to my prompt folder? (might not even get written but like… there’s a small chance? You can yoink this too idm) @deft ridge

[deft ridge]

Of course!

[worthy canopy]

does it have a happy ending

[tropic torrent]

Yes :,)

[worthy canopy]

whew

[topaz lynx]

[mellow hemlock]

It's working

[tropic torrent]

And now Balam is conflicted. He had no idea that Robin felt this way towards Kalego. He apologises to Robin? Kinda? Then tries his best to comfort him. Robin ends up falling asleep in his arms, tired out from heartache.

Balam and Robin get closer the next few days as Balam tries his best to help Robin out and Robin goes to him to rant about Kalego. Eventually Robin starts feeling better, he even starts greeting Kalego again, just not as playfully as he had been.

[mellow hemlock]

Back reading everything

Combusting

[deft ridge]

Nonstop screaming

Head in pillow

[mellow hemlock]

Crying screaming shaking throwing up exploding combusting shattering sobbing wailing shitting dying passing burning screeching

[topaz lynx]

[tropic torrent]

Things go back to the way they should be… or did they? Balam finds himself enjoying Robin’s presence around a lot. Kalego doesn’t like cuddles a lot, but Robin sure does. The two of them kind of clicked in a weird way. He still loves Kalego of course, but something deep inside him was starting to long for Robin as well.

As for Kalego, he starts getting jealous. Not that Balam had been cheating on him in anyway. Balam would never. However, Kalego’s seen how much Robin now bounces around Balam, and he kind of misses the annoyance around him…

That alongside the fact that he knew that he couldn’t provide Balam with the cuddles he desired all the time. He’s wondering if he should give up on the relationship and push Robin and Balam together. He cares for Balam’s happiness a lot after all, and was starting to wonder if it’ll be better this way.

Murmur catches on. Cue therapy session number 2.

[mellow hemlock]

OH IM GONNA

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE MY CURRENT EMOTIONS

UNBEARABLE URGE TO SLAM MY FACE AGAINST EVERY SOLID SURFACE

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!

[topaz lynx]

Murmur must be like "you 3 are idiots, please talk to eachother"

[mellow hemlock]

Maybe Murmur tries to stay out of it at first because he sees that mess and wants no part of it—he's not particularly close to the trio anyways, he'd probably only get in the way or make things worse.

But then it just keeps getting so bad that it was painful to look at—and not just bc of his bla—that he literally couldn't physically stand it anymore and had to step in.

[tropic torrent]

So, they go through the therapy session. Murmur is so tempted to just… scream at Kalego that Robin’s been trying to get over him. However, this was in deep conflict of interest territory and he still had that stupid privacy policy. In the end, he just asks Kalego to ask Balam about the whole thing.

So, the two chat, over dinner. Ironically it was Robin who made dinner. He had heard about the talk and he still did like Kalego (though he had mostly gotten over it) and was grateful to Balam for helping him get over it.

Kalego gives the proposition. Balam goes “oh shit”. He didn’t want to put a strain on their relationship but since it has come to this, he explains why Robin had been visiting him more the past couple of days. To say Kalego was shocked that Robin was about to confess to him would be an understatement.

[mellow hemlock]

Curling up into a little ball begging to explode

Exploding

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

Hehehe

Imagine the frequency in which Kalego comes to visit Balam during breaks, only to see Robin already there with him (or coming to join later), increases

[tropic torrent]

Then they start arguing. Kalego still thinks that Balam and Robin would be great together. He’s at the point where he feels inferior and undeserving of BOTH of them. As for Balam, he does want to keep his relationship with Kalego but can’t deny that he feels something for Robin as well so he also feels guilty but he wants Kalego to know that he is worthy of affection and love too. The two end up deciding to break up because it wasn’t working.

The next day, murmur catches on. I mean, it’s hard NOT to catch on when there’s vines protruding out of Balam’s prep room that are scaring the students away.

Cue therapy session number 3 (which he REALLY doesn’t want to do but for the sake of all the students and his work load for if the vines traumatise them too much)

[mellow hemlock]

And Kalego sees Balam welcoming Robin each time rather happily, at some point it seems to just go from his usual polite delight in seeing someone want to spend time with him, to something a little more than that, and Kalego questions that within his head

[deft ridge]

Oh my godbdkeisjeksi

[mellow hemlock]

NOOOO BREAKUP

Murmur: ..... Please stop making me step in, this is really nerve-wracking and awkward each time. Please, I'm begging you, discuss things properly this time.

[mellow hemlock]

Me rn

[deft ridge]

ROBIN HAS ONE CRUSH AND IT ENDS WITH A BREAK UP 😭😭

[topaz lynx]

[tropic torrent]

Oh gosh

[mellow hemlock]

HE DIDN'T MEAN TO THIS IS TERRIBLE

[tropic torrent]

Have I started war in here?

Hold on I’m still writing—

We then cut to Robin, who realises how much more… stormy… Kalego was that day. He’s pretty much over the rejection and also very concerned about Kalego so he asks Kalego if he’s alright. Kalego tries chasing him away but it fails cause Robin is Robin.

Kalego also now knows Robin’s crushing on him. Which makes things even more awkward. Still, after a lot of pestering, he tells Robin that he had broke up with Balam. Robin is shocked, and asks why. Kalego then says it’s because Robin and Balam seemed to fit together more. He then asks Robin why he even liked someone like him. Robin’s taken aback by this. Robin blushes, before blurting out how he found Kalego too be a very cool and reliable person. He asks how Kalego managed to figure it out, uncharacteristically shyly. Kalego talks about the talk he had with Balam yesterday.

Robin feels very guilty about this and responsible for the matter.

[worthy canopy]

this is the best thing I've ever seen

[tropic torrent]

Robin apologises to Kalego and runs off

[worthy canopy]

BROOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

Thanks this is the uncropped video btw

[worthy canopy]

DAQSFJHSAEGJNFSDHJ thank you so much

[mellow hemlock]

I kinda want Robin to start trying to convince Kalego how much Balam actually cares about him

Like he feels super guilty and is panicked but is like "we got along so well because we both like you, Kalego-sensei!!"

[deft ridge]

The relief Murmur will feel when they finally start to realize each other's feelings

[mellow hemlock]

Man what a disaster and blinding headache (literally, the colors they emitted thanks to their emotions were such unpleasant to the eyes colors)

[worthy canopy]

this whole situation is such an angsty mess I love it I love it I love it

[mellow hemlock]

[tropic torrent]

Meanwhile, Murmur is so done with everything. This was well above their pay grade.

“Look. All three of you need to sit down and talk about this. Like seriously.“

Balam agrees, but really, he wasn’t planning to do anything about it. They end the session there. Balam now tries to get over his feelings for both of his co-workers.

As for Robin, he keeps setting up “accidental” dates for Balam and Kalego, so they are forced to see each other. Murmur watches them play like children till he can’t take it anymore and pulls all three of them in for a joint counselling session.

We are not done folks remember this has a happy ending

[deft ridge]

They get their happy ending but at what cost-

[mellow hemlock]

Do they finally kiss and stop being stupid

I haven't done a Collab fic in... Since 2016? 2017? but I'd be up for one

[tropic torrent]

Of course, all three of them were not happy about this. They continue bickering till Murmur couldn’t take it anymore and asks them to shut up. This was incredibly unprofessional, but at this point he honestly didn’t give a damn anymore.

Murmur then proceeds to tell them that poly relationships do exist, and seriously since they all seem to like each other equally, they were really arguing over nothing.

They continue bickering for a bit, but end up fighting over loving each other. It’s only then they realise how foolish they’ve all been.

They all then go for a date to sort out their issues. Murmur does get his promotion because the three teachers had been disturbing the rest of the staff so much they were all glad the mess was over. Also, if you’ve someone like KALEGO rooting for your promotion, you’re bound to get one.

As for Kalrobibal, they still argue at times but now they’re mostly stable.

The end.

[worthy canopy]

I would be up to try helping write one as well but I would have to figure out what the fuck to do with my writing first I think bc I really dislike it

[mellow hemlock]

The solution is to vomit out what comes to mind and never look at your writing again

[worthy canopy]

[tropic torrent]

Ok you know what? I may have to put the Robin angst fic aside for this one

Perhaps I could finish it before 6th may

[mellow hemlock]

This may potentially result in writing not as good as your "best" since you're not rewriting it and stuff, but at least you actually get something out and it doesn't end up in the bin

EEE

[tropic torrent]

Gosh did I start a mini war in here or something?

[mellow hemlock]

Me too, that's why for fics I'm not trying to make absolutely as good as possible and just write bc I enjoy it, I don't reread what I write

Because otherwise it ends up like my fic that is still not even done w ch10 after over a year, and I'm still editing chapters to this day despite me having fully done so 9+ times

I usually don't have a title and just come up with one literally when I'm filling out the section to publish on ao3

For me it depends

[mellow hemlock]

This is the case for 99.99% of my fics

[tropic torrent]

I could name my fic at any part of the writing process

But they usually come with a code name

“For the record” was originally named “Narrow focused”

I couldn’t resist the pun, plus it fit better

[mellow hemlock]

I give my aus titles that describe what it is more or less, but I usually don't have a title for the story itself up until I'm trying to publish and I just come up with one on the spot

This resulted in like 4 or 5 of my fics having "light" in the title at some point many years ago, and I didn't realize until I was updating one of them

Yes it's this scene

.... The arms are really bothering me idk how I didn't notice until the picture was taken and I was in bed

I'm looking away because it's now almost 3am. The issue doesn't exist if I can't see it.

I'll just remind myself there's a lot more issues on all 3 anyways

AHAHAH YES

robin memeing on kalgeo so much he goes w/ it

[gritty trout]

Kalego does the behind the scenes and Robin in the open

[small oxide]

frfr

and then everyone's terrified thinking robin developed incomprehensible celestial powers

[gritty trout]

Better if Robin doesn't get caught because Kalego covers for him. No one thinks that Kalego would play pranks on them.

[small oxide]

OOOH TRUE

and they all get gaslit LMFAO

[tropic torrent]

LOL THIS REMINDS ME OF MY OTHER KALVAL DRAWING IDEA

What happens on Valentine’s day: *insert Iruma being given gifts by many demons*

What’s happening behind the scenes: *insert Kalego directing Robin in shooting “love Iruma arrows” on the school population*

This was one of the scrapped ideas from that contest. I completely forgot that it was Kalrobi content

[small oxide]

OMG

that's so sweet 😭

i feel like kalego would do it to try to stray attention away from his birthday

[tropic torrent]

Wait, idea: Robin shoots Kalego with a love arrow (gone wrong)

[gritty trout]

oh no

[small oxide]

giggles maniacally

he just acts the same /j

[gritty trout]

👀

[tropic torrent]

I’ve read this fic once where someone tried to make a love potion to make the one they love love them back. The dude affected by the potion ended up going crazy. Reasoning behind this is cause if the person already loves you they’ll go even crazier over you.

Imagine this scenario but it’s Robin and his love arrows. Kalego already likes Robin so after being stuck he just becomes full on guard dog mode over him.

[gritty trout]

but, what he does just act the same?

[small oxide]

OOOOOOOH

[tropic torrent]

That’ll also make for an entertaining story

[small oxide]

i love that sm

both are

so if kalego acts the same he'll be like "wth??? did it not work?? are my spells too weak for a demon like kalego?!?!!?" and sulks
and kalego just 💀

[tropic torrent]

May delete the pic later tho

[small oxide]

AUGH thats so cute

im planning on getting some keyhains from aliexpress fr

[tropic torrent]

This is from contest scrapped idea 3: Robin attempts to shoot Kalego with a love arrow on Valentine’s day. Due to his nervousness, he misses and it whizzes past Kalego’s head. Kalego gets pissed and proceeds to chase Robin around the school

[small oxide]

awe

then everyone is worried bc robin seems genuinely scared 💀

and kalego running?? no way 😱

[tropic torrent]

All the best! School is hard :,)

[small oxide]

thank you 〒▽〒

[gritty trout]

bye have a nice day!

[tropic torrent]

*screaming, thinking about Kalrobi*

[gritty trout]

same

[tropic torrent]

Idea: Kalego really, really enjoys pets. Like so much so he would wag his tail like a dog. This is why he tries to avoid getting pets in the first place.

He wants to be respected and doesn’t want anyone to find out about his weaknesses

Cue Robin and Balam

[gritty trout]

oh no

[tropic torrent]

he’s also really bad with tickles

[gritty trout]

double oh no

[mellow hemlock]

I love soft KalRobiBal

[mellow hemlock]

Bro is about to combust

[gritty trout]

Fr

[mellow hemlock]

He looks extra pissed around Robin actually, but he won't leave his side for a second despite the dark scowl. Everyone thinks (including Robin) that Kalego is furious and ready to kill. No he's just affected by the love potion (he swears in his head that nothing is wrong with him) and is using maximum self control to maintain dignity

[worthy canopy]

AAAAA@AAAAAAAAAAAAA

thank you for the scrumptious breakfast

[gritty trout]

You're welcome

[worthy canopy]

that reminds me the pats he gets while he's fluffego supposedly do feel nice, we see that in the "caring for your fluffego" sukima. he just doesn't like it because he's kalego.

[topaz lynx]

He has an image to maintain!

Can't let them know you like the pets

[mellow hemlock]

He shuts up when you massage his horn roots though

[worthy canopy]

DON'T EVEN MENTION THAT ............................ I would get banned for inappropriate content if I talked about those

[mellow hemlock]

HUH

[worthy canopy]

😇

[mellow hemlock]

I thought I'm the only one in constant danger of being sent to Kiriwo hell for that

Don't steal my role

[worthy canopy]

no I started seriously considering making a priv twitter account just so I would have somewhere to unleash those thoughts

[worthy canopy]

HHAHAHAHHAH sorryyy

[mellow hemlock]

If you are not child I can send you link to discord server where those who are big go to to talk about such mairuma thoughts?

[worthy canopy]

I am 19

[mellow hemlock]

Ok so I can send you the link if you want it

I'm desperate to get more KalRobiBal shippers in there because otherwise I'm the only one sending content for it

[worthy canopy]

HGHJHGFH yeah ok. I don't guarantee that I'll be very active though

[mellow hemlock]

That's okay it's just somewhere to not worry about getting a bonk in

[gritty trout]

Robin calling Kalego "Kal-Kal"

[mellow hemlock]

He'd die

[gritty trout]

Ofc

That's if Kalego knew what Robin calls him

[tropic torrent]

We have another discord?

[mellow hemlock]

Not really, it's a different fandom server, but there's a thread for mairuma in it

[tropic torrent]

Oh wow

[worthy canopy]

I've been struggling with a killing headache today and I've just been backreading the stuff there

even though I wanted to draw today

[mellow hemlock]

...... Well that's one way to cope with a headache

[worthy canopy]

JFSDJKHD

[mellow hemlock]

Ah I see you found another one of my fics

Glad u liked it hbfbjbgb

Hope ur headache gets better tho

Usually for me chugging water, staying away from screens or having it on extreme dimness, and taking rly strong aspirin helps

Like at one point I just didn't use any screens for like 5 hours

[worthy canopy]

I was wondering why my head was hurting and then I suddenly rmred I found out chocolate is a migraine trigger for me and I had some today

that won't stop me from eating it tho so whatever

[mellow hemlock]

The drive humans have to eat that which they shouldn't is incredible

[worthy canopy]

IT'S CHOCOLATE ................. I'm really weak against sweets

whenever I see ppl who go "I don't really care much for sweets, chocolate is usually too sweet for me etc." I think they r insane

[mellow hemlock]

I'm a dark chocolate enjoyer

[worthy canopy]

I love all kinds but especially milk chocolate

[mellow hemlock]

88% cocoa dark chocolate yummy yummy nice and bitter

[worthy canopy]

I have the taste buds of a 2 year old I spit out anything bitter

[mellow hemlock]

I eat like 80-88% dark chocolate. Sometimes the 75%

It's bittersweet

Anything higher than the 88% is terrible though and not meant to be eaten by itself

I tried 100% dark cocoa meant for baking and it was vile

[tropic torrent]

Mmmm chocolate

[worthy canopy]

haha vile ...........

[tropic torrent]

Xd

[worthy canopy]

yeah cacao by itself with nothing else added to it is not meant to be eaten

[tropic torrent]

Why not? :)

[worthy canopy]

reeeeeally bitter

[mellow hemlock]

Bleeeeh

[worthy canopy]

I need to kalrobin

[tropic torrent]

Same lol

[worthy canopy]

I said that and my head immediately punished me with more pain

I want to see kalego being soft around robin for once

[tropic torrent]

[worthy canopy]

I wonder what it would take

for kalego to finally finally finally be kinda sorta nice/soft around robin

personality changing spell 💀

[mellow hemlock]

Once in a blue (red?) moon softness

Lets Robin more or less be affectionate as long as he isn't noisy

Maybe when he's really tired his a tad more willing to be affectionate?

Too tired to keep up appearances as much

Sleepy affection

Uoooohhgghh my brain is going ham with thoughts I want to kalrobibal explosion

I'm too tired to write properly but

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mellow hemlock]

Consider Robin excitedly trying to speak to Kalego and kiss him after work at his place, and after some babbling and being in his space, Tiredego just kisses Robin and remains there for awhile. When he pulls away he murmurs, "quiet down" before dipping down to kiss along the effectively silenced Robin's neck.

Just slow, brief pressing of his lips against Robin's neck, moving down to his shoulder before resting his forehead on it, sighing

[worthy canopy]

TIREDEGO JHGHUJHG

[mellow hemlock]

Robin starts to vibrate.

"Stop moving." Kalego says. Robin vibrates harder and dives to tackle Kalego in a hug

[worthy canopy]

that reminds me of my fic a bit but even softer .............. I love it ..............

[mellow hemlock]

Do tell

[worthy canopy]

just the fic that I published w/ tired kalego getting pestered by robin

[mellow hemlock]

Thinking

Is it under ur same ao3

this

[mellow hemlock]

OH YES THAT ONE

[worthy canopy]

I kinda regret publishing it without revising it or giving myself time to re-write anything but oh well

[mellow hemlock]

My brain is not all there today sorry

[worthy canopy]

it's ok I have one of the worst memories known to man I would never judge anybody for being unable to recall something

[mellow hemlock]

No normally I can remember KalRobi fine this is a terrible fact that I couldn't remember something KalRobi

[worthy canopy]

3 of my friends r also having bad days today + people they know

today is a cursed day

[mellow hemlock]

Sleepiness and work is a terrible combination

I used the last bit of brain power on writing earlier I got nothing left

[worthy canopy]

speaking of writing I should ask my writing friend if they can read my fic and point out what could be improved so they can help me fix what I dislike about my writing ...

to write even better kalrobi(bal)

[mellow hemlock]

Betaing is always good

Helps u write better

[worthy canopy]

I briefly discussed my writing woes w/ cookies but . cookies is not very good at giving wordy, in-depth critique and explaining their thoughts in full

so I need to ask somebody else

[worthy canopy]

also during that conversation I was so out of it I was borderline hallucinating. it was still kinda helpful tho

[mellow hemlock]

I personally like when someone is as blunt as possible and will just straight up say "this is dogshit man"... But it's pretty hard to find anyone willing to go that far

[tropic torrent]

This but your writing is genuinely good and I can’t bash it

Mine on the other hand…

[mellow hemlock]

Idk like I said if I had a printer I would've framed ur KalRobi fic on my wall

[tropic torrent]

I don’t get why but thanks again?

[mellow hemlock]

Bc I love it

[cosmic basalt]

^^Your KalRobi is great

[mellow hemlock]

Cranky bitch Kalego is my absolute favorite and Kalego was exactly that the entire time

[worthy canopy]

I am that guy 💀 I'm so overly critical and analyze everything that I consume so much I used to have friends who found it unbearable to watch anything with me because I would rant . so much

cookies says watching stuff with me is really fun because of it though

[mellow hemlock]

I can't KalRobiBal explosion in peace knowing ur watching (im in fear and guilt)

[worthy canopy]

I never criticize fanfiction though unless I'm friends w/ the author and they specifically request it

[mellow hemlock]

Yeah that's good not everyone likes crit when it's not asked for

I don't mind it as long as it's even remotely useful

[worthy canopy]

I recently started rp'ing with my friends again so at least I get some daily-ish writing practice

[mellow hemlock]

Oh that's good

I haven't rped in years... Don't think I've ever finished one before just like my fics

[worthy canopy]

I don't even care abt rp that much I just do it to hang out with my friends really

I don't even consider myself to be a writer . I'm a visual artist/illustrator first and foremost but sometimes I'll get an interest that makes me go "I need to write fanfiction for this"

kalrobin is the first one in a while

[mellow hemlock]

KalRobi make me

[tropic torrent]

Ngl I may not have written those fics without roleplay

Had the worst writers block… it lasted for years

[tropic torrent]

I’ll label myself a creative

[mellow hemlock]

I mostly consider myself a writer, I don't draw that often and usually not that well

[tropic torrent]

You draw well

[mellow hemlock]

Thank

It's kinda all over the place LMAO

[worthy canopy]

I love

art

I love your art as well

I'm always glad to discuss visual art-related woes if you ever need help w/ something

[tropic torrent]

Hands

[worthy canopy]

hehe

they're tricky but I have tips for those as well if needed

[mellow hemlock]

Arms

For some reason hands are okay for me to draw usually, but arms........

[tropic torrent]

Heads and shoulders knees and toes

[worthy canopy]

everything

[mellow hemlock]

I have redrawn this one Iruma like 4 times in his entirety bc I can't draw his arms or his pants

At this point I'm just starting to consider shorts

[tropic torrent]

Need to do more gesture drawing tbh

[mellow hemlock]

I.... Tried doing it twice on sep occasions and gave up after like 3 days each

[tropic torrent]

That’s… warranted

[worthy canopy]

I am here if you need help

[mellow hemlock]

Please I need to finish this cover already

[tropic torrent]

[mellow hemlock]

[mellow hemlock]

My brain power too low to do anything much but .... Thinking about RobiBal so hard rn.....

[flat plinth]

Robin braiding Balam's hair when he's not having a good time because Balam's hair's texture is soothing

[mellow hemlock]

AAAAA

Balam lets him do his hair and Robin is actually good at it bc he used to do Bachiko's when he was younger

Momo: oh, your hair looks really good today, Balam-sensei. Did you learn how to do a new hairstyle?

Balam: ah, actually it was Robin-sensei who did this for me

[mellow hemlock]

He so likes playing with the long strands

Running his fingers through the locks and mindlessly playing with the tips

[flat plinth]

YES YES YES YES YES

It's so calming

[mellow hemlock]

Balam likes it too

He likes to pet others, but he's not used to being pet himself. This feels like petting, in a way, and it's... rather pleasant

[flat plinth]

[mellow hemlock]

Spending breaks together with Robin humming one of his silly little tunes as he slowly and gently runs his fingers through Balam's hair, carefully undoing any knots in the process that Balam had originally missed. After that, he starts to do his hair for him.

Robin always praises it when he does

"your hair is so soft" "your hair is so nice"

RobiBal Robin munching on the rice crackers Balam always gives him as a snack during break while he's sitting on his lap, letting Balam pet him as he pleases

Balam is telling Robin about stories of his Babyls years w Kalego as per Robin's request. Robin loves hearing about these stories

They're chatting away so happily and peacefully on the couch

[worthy canopy]

I'm deceased

goodbye world

[mellow hemlock]

Late night RobiBal thoughts

Imagine if they're not even dating

yet

But if anyone were to see em, they'd see the perfect image of a happy couple

Particularly Kalego. Freezes in his tracks when he sees this happy lovey-dovey image. What in the unholy netherworld is going on

(can you tell I really like making Kalego run into RobiBal and just. Being unable to process it.)

[deft ridge]

The accidental run-in is inevitable

[worthy canopy]

I want to see him angst about it

[mellow hemlock]

It's actually reasonably possible considering how frequent Kalego goes to spend his time in the prep room during break to visit Balam

Which Robin is also in there for the same reasons

[mellow hemlock]

Lmao Kalego crushing on Balam since they were students, and it takes Robin like >year to seemingly land him

[worthy canopy]

YEAH HH HHHHH E HAAA4284829484RUR98R274789

I'm normal

[mellow hemlock]

He sees that gaze Balam makes with Robin at times. That's not the one he gives to small animals and students when he's petting them. It's different. It's adoration.

uuuuuuuuuuu he sees them being all cuddly, sees Robin doing his hair and playing with it

They're both so affectionate

In their own little sickingly sweet world

I'm gonna pass out any second so here's my final contribution using the last of my brain juices (unrelated to the Kalego angst): one day Robin is on his lap letting him pet him like always and he's excitedly listening along to Balam's ramblings about mythical creatures, even chiming in with eager questions and comments of his own occasionally.

While Robin is reading one of Balam's textbooks about humans, eyes full of interest and smile ever present unlike the usual creeped out or annoyed reaction he got from his rambled about mythical creatures. He watches Robin's sparkling eyes go across the paper as he reads, lighting up with little ohhhhs at parts he finds interesting, and moves on his own without a second thought. He kisses Robin.

They're not dating.

Balam is not wearing his mask for once.

If anything doesn't make sense I was literally falling asleep while typing him my brain is trying it's best

With that I finally sleep. Gn

[worthy canopy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

good night

[tropic torrent]

FOOD

[topaz lynx]

Sleep tight

[flat plinth]

Nddkwbxkd thank you foe the good food

Goodnight!

[mellow hemlock]

Good morning

Cat woke me up to feed her and now I can't go back to bed so

RobiBal time

[tropic torrent]

Food time?

👀

[mellow hemlock]

Indeed

[tropic torrent]

[flat plinth]

Food? 👀

[tropic torrent]

Something’s cooking

Wonder what’s on the menu today

Should change the thread description to “welcome to our soup kitchen” lol (plus attempt to add an image)

[mellow hemlock]

Balam stills and draws away upon realization of what he was doing.

"Ah." He says, covering his mouth with his eyes blown wide. Robin is staring at him with similar eyes, and he slowly raises a hand to press against the cheek Balam had just kissed moments prior.

"... I'm... I'm truly sorry about that, Robin-sensei. I don't know what came over me." This was partially a lie, he did know what came over him. Joy and adoration, but he doesn't know how he let it affect his head enough to do such a thing.

Robin blinks once, palm still on cheek, as if still processing the situation. Another blink, and Robin finally speaks.

"... Just now, was that a kiss, Balam-sensei?"

"Err... Yes... I'm sorry." He apologizes again with guilt pooling heavily within his chest down to his stomach, leaving him feeling terrible nearly all throughout his entire body.

"Ohhhh..." Says Robin, though Balam isn't entirely certain what exactly that was supposed to mean. He didn't seem angry, at least, so that was a relief.

"Can I have another?" Huh?

"Pardon?"

"A kiss! Can I have another one? I wasn't paying attention the first time so I want another!" Robin.... pleads..?

"... A—Another..?" Splutters Balam. Robin nods and turns his body around to face him fully.

"Yes please!"

[mellow hemlock]

Sorry I'm so lazy LMAO

I mean we're doing pretty good for a batra with no image

6k+ messages

[tropic torrent]

We’re gonna give the irukiri batra a run for their money

Here’s the message LOL

[mellow hemlock]

Oh wait what I was accepting bal/Pera even back then?

Good job past me

[tropic torrent]

You’ve changed it once :/

[mellow hemlock]

I don't remember if that was recently or if something I decided immediately after hitting send

I don't think I'd scroll all the way back up bc idk how to get to the first message on mobile otherwise

[tropic torrent]

Just

Click on the thing

[tropic torrent]

Nope it was recent

On mobile if you click on the top of the screen you autoscroll back up

[mellow hemlock]

Doesn't work for me

I think it was pretty much immediately after I hit send bc the second message I sent was KalRobiBal

[mellow hemlock]

Also Balam is too awkward to actually kiss him again despite Robin's request, so Robin just asks if he can kiss him then instead

[worthy canopy]

YIPPIE

[mellow hemlock]

Robin eventually gets to do so after some pleading puppy eyes and begging, but instead of kissing Balam on his cheek like he was expecting (as he had done to Robin originally), Robin goes straight for the lips

[worthy canopy]

[worthy canopy]

the opera emoji was accidental but it fits

[mellow hemlock]

LMAO

Robin pulls away with a little impish grin, "hehe, gotcha"

"Good sir!"

I love RobiBal kissing Balam shock I love them I love it

I love Robin throwing Balam off with his affection

Balam is so used to trying to give it only for the subject of his affections to run, so he isn't used to someone trying to hurl affection at him instead

[worthy canopy]

I am ! dying

out of all the ships to get attached to

robibal was one I never expected

but I actually like it more than balam x kalego

[mellow hemlock]

ngl sadly me too

Like I like Balam x Kalego too so I add it in usually, but RobiBal make me

[worthy canopy]

yeah aghh like life would b so much easier if my brain had just picked shichikal or opekal to get attached to bc those ships have so much more content

but no . rarepairs . an rarecules (rare polycules)

[mellow hemlock]

Same

[worthy canopy]

and *

[surreal sail]

RobiBal without Kalego is even rarer than KalRobi, so definitely a rarepair.

[flat plinth]

The thing with Robibal is that it allows for so much open communication and feelings
While Balego is all the shades of denial sjiwdnsknz

[mellow hemlock]

That is true BVFCGH

Cuddling snuggling kissing petting in RobiBal

I think for ShichiKal Kalego let's him occasionally but definitely not at RobiBal levels

[flat plinth]

Like Robin and Balam wouldn't have any issues with communication or anything... Actually, I have trouble seeing them having conflicts at all??? They're both absolute softies??

[mellow hemlock]

Balam might have some awkwardness but otherwise. Fluffy.

[flat plinth]

Yes!!

But...otherwise I have trouble seeing what other issue they could have

[mellow hemlock]

Kalego fainting every time he sees them maybe /j

[surreal sail]

And come to think of it, their educational niches are highly compatible as well. Robin focuses on familiars, who are magical beasts (except for Kalego), and Balam focuses on magical beasts in general, with a side of imaginary biology. And though he doesn't have much experience with it, I can see Robin finding imaginary biology to be fun to listen to.

[worthy canopy]

something abt robibal man ... it makes even the vilest angst lovers weak

<- vile angst lover

they r soooooo soft and fluffy all cuddles and kisses and pats and

[surreal sail]

Are there any vile angst lovers here to confirm or deny? Because I personally tend to avoid super-angsty stuff, so I wouldn't know.

[worthy canopy]

I know sasa likes angst too
