I...also like angst

#

But I can't imagine Robibal angst???

worthy canopy
#

it's easier to imagine angst w/ kalrobibal bc of jealousy possibilities and such but w/ just robibal . I am coming up short

flat plinth
#

Exactly!

#

Kalego being the main angst fuel /j

worthy canopy
#

need his spiteful, bitter and emotionally repressed ass to add some conflict

surreal sail
#

I mean, I could see Robin doing something stupid to try to help Balam and it causing brief conflict/angst they have to talk through. For an extreme example, trying to help Balam overcome his insecurity over his scar's appearance by removing his mask. I could see Robin being stupid enough to do that and think it was helpful, and somebody could potentially write a drama-filled oneshot based on that.

flat plinth
#

Ooh your mind

worthy canopy
#

could also have classic romantic angst over balam thinking robin doesn't like him (or doesn't like him that way) because, it's robin right ??? he's clingy and playful with everybody, not just balam

#

that angst would also be short-lived though bc robin would definitely start flirting w/ balam very quickly

surreal sail
#

Yeah... I don't like hardcore angst with sad endings, but I can still enjoy the sort of hurt/comfort scenario I described.

worthy canopy
#

I generally prefer happy endings with my angst but I enjoy full blown despair too KirioBlush fortunately or unfortunately robibal doesn't really give itself to that. it's hard to imagine a scenario that would be very angsty with them

mellow hemlock
#

Vile angst lover here. Twisted IruKiri enthusiast. Killed off the two of them in one au. Can confirm, RobiBal makes us weak

surreal sail
#

Okay- I've seen enough posts from 'need Iruma kidnapped now' to know he's the real deal when it comes to loving vile angst, and if he confirms RobiBal makes him weak, I can believe it.

#

with the way he showers kalego with praise at every opportunity in canon, he'd probably flirt, tease and compliment balam without hesitation

#

somehow we have strayed away from angst once again . it has turned into a romcom

mellow hemlock
#

RobiBal can never stay angsty for long

#

I have Robin say some pretty... obscene things to Balam's face due to his lack of filter sometimes

worthy canopy
#

I think I know what you're referring to

mellow hemlock
#

Wdym

worthy canopy
#

if it is what I'm thinking then I shan't say

mellow hemlock
#

I mean I genuinely don't know because I have Robin do this so much in the other server

#

I dumped a lot of KalRobiBal and RobiBal there

surreal sail
#

I'm guessing the obscene stuff is referring to nsfw stuff?

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

Yeah stuff that cannot be said here haha

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

HUH HOW

#

Some of it is really buried???

worthy canopy
#

friend

#

I scrolled to the top

#

and just read everything

mellow hemlock
#

THE TOP OF THE THREAD?!

worthy canopy
#

...yes

mellow hemlock
#

THAT THING IS LIKE YEARS OLD ISN'T IT

worthy canopy
#

....yes

mellow hemlock
#

HOW DID YOU GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE THREAD???

worthy canopy
#

I skimmed like half of it

mellow hemlock
#

Ok fair

worthy canopy
#

but I read the stuff that caught my eye

worthy canopy
#

but back to the angst tho. I'm coming short of robibal angst ideas but I feel like it's only a matter of time until somebody comes up w/ something really angsty for them

#

there is no such thing as "impossible to angst"

tropic torrent
worthy canopy
#

yeah

tropic torrent
worthy canopy
#

like if external circumstances forced the angst it could happen

#

but angst that arives from the two of them and their dynamic ???? might be impossible

surreal sail
#

External circumstances... I just realized. Robin is technically part of a prominent noble family, albeit a side branch of it. Balam is possibly a commoner- which could provide a classic excuse for family disapproval from Robin's side, creating a recipe for angst.

tropic torrent
#

LOL

#

There’s definitely a lot pf politics in the bars clan

#

Well technically the Barbatos clan

#

Even if Balam is a commoner he’s actually likely to be of higher rank than Robin so like that isn’t the issue

#

The issue is, they want archers to marry into the family to help with reproduction

surreal sail
#

The idea of the Irumi thing being held over Robin by his family, when he wants to instead be with Balam...

There's just so much ironic comedy there, though, that it doesn't FEEL full-on angsty.

mellow hemlock
#

Yeah they tried to marry irumi to Robin lol

#

Just because she was an archer

tropic torrent
#

Though we can argue that it’s possible for Balam to have the focus for it and he technically is a bio teacher so…

surreal sail
#

What does being a bio teacher have to do with being an archer?

tropic torrent
#

Ngl with these two it’s a romcom

tropic torrent
mellow hemlock
#

He seems to enjoy brute strength and the magic of magic

tropic torrent
#

Not the archer part

worthy canopy
#

once again we have circled back to romcom

tropic torrent
#

Y’all please I nearly choked on my water ;-;

worthy canopy
#

JHGHJHGFH sorry

tropic torrent
#

It’s… technically a good thing? I just shouldn’t read Robibal while drinking water

surreal sail
#

Oh... I hadn't even considered you might be referring to the reproduction part, lol.

tropic torrent
#

Truly romcom material

#

Either way we know Balam has the patience and focus

worthy canopy
#

robibal: fluffy romcom. practically a sweet, heartfelt shoujo manga
kalego watching this shit from the back: SoiAnnoy

tropic torrent
#

Let’s be real drawing stuff takes a long time and is an absolute pain

mellow hemlock
#

The only angst I managed to create out of RobiBal was in an au where Robin was an RTO traitor.... literally haven't been able to make any angst of regular RobiBal

tropic torrent
worthy canopy
tropic torrent
#

Yes yes

#

Apocalypse au has been on my head today

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

HGEWAEIAHWIEUI

surreal sail
#

It's possible to make angst if you stretch to try to think about it, like I tried above, but nothing too serious, yeah.

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

HAHAHAHA

flat plinth
#

What about a mafia au? OperaThink

mellow hemlock
#

Robin the sniper who protects the members hidden in the distance

#

Anyone who raises a weapon at the Family gets shot in the head

#

Or if they're lucky, a warning shot that shoots close enough to nick their ear

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

STOP LMAOOOO

worthy canopy
#

don't mind that

mellow hemlock
#

Hahaha

#

I didn't even notice till you said that

surreal sail
#

I suppose that the mafia AU would certainly provide ample opportunity for angst for ANY romantic pairing within it.

gritty trout
#

Robin would be a Sniper

tropic torrent
#

Already is

gritty trout
#

tru

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

Please it'd be so funny

worthy canopy
#

bitter jelly kalego is so funny

#

like man you did this to yourself

#

robin is literally in love with him and balam is his childhood friend he could've had both if he wasn't such a bitch

#

and now he has neither

mellow hemlock
#

LMAOOOOO

#

UR SO RIGHT TOO

#

IF HE WASNT SUCH A CRANKY BITCH, THEYD BOTH BE ALL OVER HIM

worthy canopy
#

literally it would take MINIMAL EFFORT. just simple communication. the bare minimum. and he'd have the two of them

#

now robin and balam r living their happiest lives without him <3

tropic torrent
#

Ouch but also lol

mellow hemlock
#

Kalego when Robin tries to give affection: STOP THAT I HATE WHEN YOU DO THAT!!

Kalego when Robin doesn't give him as much anymore and is instead all over Balam: Hold on, why'd he stop?

tropic torrent
#

Urrrghhh y’all really making me want to write 3 Idiots and their underpaid therapist for the explosion.

worthy canopy
#

kalego trying to pretend he's not annoyed but everyone can tell he's even more pissed off than usual nowadays. and it's all because of something he LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER !!!!! he could just walk up to robin and balam and say his feelings and they'd welcome him w/ open arms but NOOOOO this man is INCAPABLE of being honest about his feelings for even a moment

#

he's suffering bc of something he has complete control over and is just too stubborn to fix

worthy canopy
#

which is so incredibly funny when you think about it cuz that means it was also bc of kalego that their relationship blossomed

#

they bonded over him

#

and then replaced him 🥰

mellow hemlock
#

HCHCCHHC

#

I wouldn't* go as far as say replace, but have accepted the belief that Kalego is not interested in furthering their relationship until one of dating, regardless of how he may appear to feel.

#

Or maybe that's Balam, and Robin is doing it just to fuck with Kalego

#

Like he gets to be with Balam who he also likes while teasing Kalego????

worthy canopy
#

balam feels a little guilty bc he can tell kalego is bothered by something and he feels conflicted getting together with robin while he hasn't gotten over his feelings for kalego but robin is just ^_^

worthy canopy
tropic torrent
#

LOL

mellow hemlock
#

Exactly this. He loves to mess with Kalego like this, being able to get with Balam in the process is just a bonus

mellow hemlock
# worthy canopy kalego trying to pretend he's not annoyed but everyone can tell he's even more p...

The teachers in the longue murmuring to each other that Kalego looks to be in a bad mood, commenting something must've happened because it's only gotten worse as of late.

Kalego who can hear them across the room huffs to himself. Those fools don't know what they're talking about. Nothing happened. There's nothing affecting him. It's not like one needs to have a reason to be in a bad mood—not that he's in a bad mood, that is.

Cue Robin who was at his desk and not with him who excitedly shoots up and cheers "Balam-senpai!!" as he runs over to greet Shichiro with a tackling hug. The cup of tea Kalego was previously sipping to appear calm audibly cracks in his grasp.

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

The other teachers back away further.

#

Murmur using his bla to see what Kalego's deal is so he knows how to not worsen his anger and be a victim of it... only to see instead of just anger or frustration coloring Kalego like he had expected, it was also... jealousy. A lot of it. The color was darkening the more Balam and Robin talked.

Murmur releases his ability and decides that he's not getting involved with that.

worthy canopy
#

AAAAAA

#

I love it

mellow hemlock
#

(obsessed with first kiss RobiBal and Balam freaking out)

#

(has written several things of this exact scenario)

worthy canopy
worthy canopy
#

I really like this artist's linework

#

not related I've just been ogling their art for the past idk how many minutes

#

also not related but I think I've seen 2 separate kalrobin fanarts where robin is kissing kalego's hand like some sort of knight + I just saw an iruazz one like that and it reminded me that I've had this image stuck in my head for days too AAOUGUHGHHH like robin being soo. adamantly loyal to kalego and relishing not only in hunting others but hunting others FOR HIM. shooting people at his orders.

mellow hemlock
#

HE WAS SO EXCITED TO SHOOT OCHO FOLLOWING KALEGO'S ORDER

#

He shoots his arrow on Kalego's order when he was sending the message to Sully during the batra party too

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

you've definitely seen them before but yeah I can find them

tropic torrent
#

Ngl I usually stay away from AUs but I’ll literally read aus for my fill of Kalrobi /Robibal /Kalrobibal

#

I’m desperate

worthy canopy
#

we all are SababahahaSababahaha (laughing in pain) also I'm not usually a fan of aus either but. I say that and one of the first things I did when I got here was make a kalrobibal au

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

though that one is so close to canon it's more like a "what if". basically kalego's sidestory but I throw robin in there

mellow hemlock
#

I like aus if they're good

worthy canopy
#

I almost fucking spilled the juice in my cup everywher e

mellow hemlock
#

All depends on the writing and characterization for me personally

#

HGBNH

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

He's so :DDDD after shooting the target Kalego told him to shoot

worthy canopy
#

I found one of the fanarts but I don't think I can send it here bc of the suggestive text

mellow hemlock
#

Other server then

worthy canopy
#

give me a second to find the other one IrumaClap

mellow hemlock
#

👍

worthy canopy
#

I couldn't find the original post but. this art from this artist https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/2801594

#

nvm I just found it LMAO

#

it's in this log

mellow hemlock
#

Oh these!!

#

Yes I know these

#

I love them

worthy canopy
#

yeah I told u you've seen them before LMAO

mellow hemlock
#

I'm always happy to see food

#

Even if I've eaten it before

worthy canopy
#

sigh . yeah

#

I wonder if it would be too shameless of me to also make my own "robin kissing kalego's hand as if swearing loyalty to him" artwork when other ppl have already done it

#

the image won't get out o fmy mind

mellow hemlock
#

I mean

#

More cake

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

I am happy to see KalRobi always

worthy canopy
#

my concern is more w/ respecting other artists' originality and not ripping anyone off

mellow hemlock
#

Well hand kissing isn't exactly original

#

And technically there's no such thing as originality anyways. Everything is fanart of something

#

The bible is a fanfic of Jesus

#

Art of a cat is fanart of cats

#

As long as it's not like. 1 to 1 with the other piece I don't see the issue

worthy canopy
#

I think if I find a way to add to the idea it should be fine

#

me: fuck kalrobin fuck kalego I hate that mf I'm a robibal shipper exclusively now
also me 5 minutes later: hh.h,,,,,,,, robin...., being completely devoted to kalego .... swearing eternal love and loyalty to him ......, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

mellow hemlock
#

HGBBHB

#

I mean this is the KalRobiBal batra

#

Just. Kalego is a pain to draw and kinda a pain to write

worthy canopy
#

I jus t hate him <- is in love with him

#

it's funny to bully him

mellow hemlock
#

It is

worthy canopy
#

because he's sooooooo full of himself I want to poke him with a stick like "fall apart already. I want to see you crumble."

mellow hemlock
#

I will not speak

#

I will be in trouble if I do

worthy canopy
#

I'm going to die

#

I put on this episode bc cookies asked me to make an emoji of one of robin's frames

#

but this episode makes me insane

mellow hemlock
#

Me too

#

He got praise from Kalego for shooting the target he ordered him to and nearly exploded

worthy canopy
#

I can't watch this I'll explode if I do oh my god

#

I'm going to pull my hair out

mellow hemlock
#

KalRobiBal episode

worthy canopy
#

THE kalrobibal episode

mellow hemlock
#

Our only one

worthy canopy
#

😭

#

this episode + the manga chapter that corresponds to it

#

is the sacred treasure of this battler

#

we make due with the crumbs .

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

crying and whimpering I LOVE YUOU ROIBINN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

dali being cool as if he actually fucking does anything

mellow hemlock
#

Nishi made a whole bonus comic spanning 2 pages trying to explain Dali is important after seeing all the comments of Dali being useless and not doing anything in the heartbreaker exam

worthy canopy
#

wow it's robibal742hu4y2487

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

GGHHBK

#

Yeah he kinda just

#

Does nothing

#

But they explained his job is commanding others

#

If the time were to arise where he would need to actually action, Babyls would already have been fucked. Or so Kalego said

worthy canopy
#

that doesn't make sense to me bc if things got that far that means he didn't do his job right

#

so either way he is still useless

#

I feel like I'm watching a car crash in slow motion

#

I'm going to blow up

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

I've been staring at that while resisting the urge to destroy everything in my vicinity

mellow hemlock
#

He's still so happy

worthy canopy
#

HGHYHJUYGHJ FR BC OF THEIR EXPRESSIONS IT JUST LOOKS LIKE HE'S PATTING HIM IN THAT PICTURE

tropic torrent
worthy canopy
#

yeah I've seen that picture before

tropic torrent
# worthy canopy

I’m literally watching this episode right now what are the odds

worthy canopy
#

considering we're both kalrobibal-obsessed and this is the only episode that has some kalrobibal crumbs. not actually that unlikely HGTFHJUHG

#

still funny tho

tropic torrent
#

I wasn’t watching it on purpose

#

Was doing a rewatch of the entirety of the show

worthy canopy
#

I need to do that sometime

mellow hemlock
#

I haven't done it in awhile

worthy canopy
#

I've watched s1 and s2 twice, s3 once and certain episodes god knows how many times

#

I've re-watched "kiriwo almost blows up the school: the episode" like. at least 4 diff times but maybe more bc it's my favorite ever

mellow hemlock
#

I have to be careful about the kiriwo episodes even tho they're my fav because he sounds... Questionable

worthy canopy
worthy canopy
#

I need to see kalego being showered with affection by 2 touchy cuddly demons while complaining and being grumpy the whole time but also not really pushing them away bc he's begrudgingly accepted that he loves them . stat

mellow hemlock
#

HEHEHE

#

I need to work on my KalRobiBal

#

I haven't in a few days I need to KalRobiBal explosion

worthy canopy
#

me too

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

the battler has gone quiet bc everyone who has something to share is keeping quiet about it/can't send appetizers

tropic torrent
#

;-;

#

Sorry folks… trying to write but not knowing how to

mellow hemlock
#

I'm trying to keep it alive with occasional KalRobiBal unrelated to the event

tropic torrent
#

Yea

mellow hemlock
#

Same

#

I want to make a KalRobiBal writing piece but no ideas

tropic torrent
#

I’ve both a Kalrobi and Kalrobibal work in progress

mellow hemlock
#

EEEE

tropic torrent
#

Not counting the oneshot sequel for “For the record”

mellow hemlock
tropic torrent
#

I’m at the point where I don’t even know which to write first

#

I’m just trying to finish the Kalrobi skeleton right now pls…

worthy canopy
#

we r all out here just struggling

tropic torrent
#

Brain pls come through

worthy canopy
#

I was thinking of making kind of like a kalrobibal infograph . like a picture explaining their dynamic and what's appealing about them

tropic torrent
#

Lol yes

mellow hemlock
#

That sounds nice

tropic torrent
#

Do It like a menu serving Kalrobi, Robibal, Kalrobibal and sichikal/j

worthy canopy
#

I was thinking of doing a thing explaining the relationships between them (like robin admires kalego while kalego is annoyed by him, balam and kalego get along well etc.) and then how the three of them (would) interact

#

I say would interact bc in canon we rarely see the three of them together

mellow hemlock
#

I treasure every little moment Nishi gives us that shows that Robin and Balam spend time together off-screen

#

And it's always just the two of them aaaaaaaAAAAAHBFBGHB

worthy canopy
#

jellylego is still on my mind

#

kalego third wheeling for robibal

#

is just so funny

mellow hemlock
#

It really is

#

He could have either or or both in a heartbeat if he just fucking SAID SOMETHING instead of being a bitch

worthy canopy
#

EHAWUIEHWAIEUAIUWEUU it's soooo funny

#

watching this man dig his own grave

mellow hemlock
#

Id like to imagine that he convinces himself no he's NOT jealous about EITHER of them. He's just frustrated that the only good place he can go to during breaks is being ruined by Robin's annoying presence!

worthy canopy
#

RobinSmug sure ..... that's all it is ....

mellow hemlock
#

Starts glowering at RobiBal cuddling smiles while he clenches his teacup so hard it cracks

#

HAHAHAHA

#

student au Kalego coming into the teachers lounge before school starts and Robin is already there.

"Good morning Kalego-senpai!" Robin greets at the top of his lungs, shooting up from his desk with a raised hand. Kalego clicks his tongue.

"Silence. You're too loud—and again, it's -sensei, not -senpai." Robin laughs despite the dark growl in his tone. Kalego lets out a huff before heading to his own desk. See? The menace was the same as always. Can't even greet him normally without getting overly excited. Nothing has changed.

"Ah! Balam-senpai!!!" Robin's voice greets higher in volume, running past him to latch onto Shichiro's arm with a wide smile.

#

Robin hasn't even latched onto him yet! .... But that was a good thing! Finally! He always hated when he did that!

#

(slams his fist against his desk the moment Balam pets Robin's head in greeting and Robin leans into it with bubbly laughter)

worthy canopy
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

kalego's starting to notice robin and balam have gotten closer and it's bothering him but he's in denial that it's even happening ....

tropic torrent
#

They are so cute your honour

worthy canopy
#

so cute (kalego losing his fucking mind in the background)

mellow hemlock
#

When Robin finally tackles Kalego from behind after so long, Kalego kinda just. Stands there. Doesn't move. Forgot how to process a Robin hug.

"Kalego-senpai?" Robin peers up at him and ah, now he remembers.

Kalego grabs his face, "Quit it."

worthy canopy
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

at first robin wasn't getting closer to balam with the intent to annoy kalego, but once he realized how much it was bothering him he doubles down on it. initiating pda w/ balam right where kalego can see

mellow hemlock
#

The teachers realize to their great relief that Kalego is no longer in a bad mood anymore. They don't know why, but they're not questioning it

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

Kalego just needed one (1) hug to get better

worthy canopy
#

waaaawwawwawawa

#

that' s so cute

#

that's so funny . kalego gets touch starved without robin

#

imagine he actually goes in his wicked phase because of this third wheeling shit

#

like nothing else ever manages to make him go into his wicked phase. at most he gets bedridden for a few days. but not getting the same amount of affection and attention annoyance from robin + having to watch him flirt w/ balam like they're a lovey dovey couple is what does it

tropic torrent
#

Xd

#

👀

tropic torrent
mellow hemlock
#

His wicked phase is just him being in a pissier mood then he already always is in

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

cute

mellow hemlock
#

Still my favorite image ever

#

Will never get over it

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

It's just. It's just how casual they are that's getting me

#

Kalego already used to just shoving Robin away, Robin unaffected by Kalego's hand on his face, Balam sitting next to Kalego and seemingly used to this scenario already

#

Casual conversation

worthy canopy
#

balam truly looks like he does not give a shit

#

will never get over how much robin loooves to invade kalego's personal space

#

if kalego didn't push him away he would fucking smush his face right against his

mellow hemlock
#

Stupidly close

worthy canopy
#

gay people make me feel violent

worthy canopy
# mellow hemlock

I hate that gif bc whoever made it added an unnecessarily strong sharpen filter over it that makes it look sooo ugly

#

also that scene is my header I just realized

mellow hemlock
#

Robin so happy to be pushed

worthy canopy
#

I find it funny that in the manga robin looks kinda pissed hearing kalego talk shit abt him but in the anime they made him silly

mellow hemlock
#

I think he's just silly serious

#

Like this

#

But he does look angy which is p funny

worthy canopy
#

silly serious ...

#

no more kalego. robibal battler only

mellow hemlock
#

Baldego

gritty trout
#

No

worthy canopy
#

for me it's his face and his hair

mellow hemlock
#

His face is similar to other character I use to draw (grumpy) so luckily I don't find it too hard

#

But his hair doesn't make much sense to my brain so I struggle to draw it

#

Though I think it might be hard for me to draw Kalego looking anything but grumpy

#

Bc I just realized that I don't think I've ever drawn him like that otherwise, aside from his spiteful smirk

worthy canopy
#

Kalego's face I can tell I'm not the only artist who struggles to draw it bc when looking at fanart he's often the character that will look most different from his canon version. everyone has a slightly different way of drawing him

mellow hemlock
#

True

#

(doesn't really look at Kalego fanart)

worthy canopy
#

I do ......

#

still waiting to fall out of love I'm tired of having feelings for this pathetic fictional man

mellow hemlock
#

LMAO

#

I only rly look at Kalego art when it's KalRobi or ShichiKal

worthy canopy
#

it's actually so pathetic the way I'll be having an internal monologue with my brain rambling nonstop and then I open twitter or whatever and I see a picture of kalego and I can HEAR my monologue STUTTER as if it was caught off guard and got flustered. god. get me out of here

#

the same thing happens when I see robin unexpectedly but in his case it's not for gay reasons and also it is deserved because it's robin 💗

#

simping for kalego though???? absolutely embarrassing. I want out

mellow hemlock
#

HAHAHAHA

#

You'll be free someday, I'll pray for you 🙏

worthy canopy
#

thank you

worthy canopy
#

what is

worthy canopy
stable ruin
#

the fact that ur inner monologue stutters when u see kalego

#

bc ur a gayass

#

i replied

#

to the wrong .sg

#

msg

#

i thought those two messages were one big message

surreal sail
#

I mean, if you find a character attractive, no reason to be embarrassed about that. It's a perfectly normal thing.

mellow hemlock
#

I mean if that character is Kalego...

gritty trout
#

I mean...

worthy canopy
#

because he's so insufferable

#

so fucking cranky all the time and for what huh.

surreal sail
#

I guess Kalego is your first thing that even halfway counts as a bad boy fictional love interest, then?

There's probably a better term for it, but I can't think of it right now.

worthy canopy
#

hahaha no actually the first time I saw him I immediately went "why is he exactly like 2 other characters I am also in love with"

#

now that I think about it kalego is not even the love interest I've spouted most hate about

#

I just find it really fun to bully him

topaz lynx
#

He is very bully-able

surreal sail
#

Ah- what 2 other characters are you talking about? I'm curious.

gritty trout
mellow hemlock
#

Hes incredibly bully-able indeed

Funnily enough the thing that got me back into op a few years ago was the Zoro and Luffy hug in wano ch. When it dropped, it flooded my tl and I was like "welp, guess I'll watch it again"

mellow hemlock
#

I'm pretty sure I have a number of zolu fics

#

And CobyLu

#

(has always been a rarepair shipper)

worthy canopy
#

one piece. is The. interest ever to me. I was so obsessed with it I re-read it so many times and memorized so much trivia

#

I haven't been into it for a while though

mellow hemlock
#

Same

worthy canopy
#

it will inevitably come back into my life eventually because it always does and I know that when it does I'll be consumed again so I've been putting it off

mellow hemlock
#

I used to be able to memorize character's blood types and heights of even minor characters

#

I recently rewatched it again about 2 months ago on my vacation but it was just real early op and that's it. Did not fall back into it

#

I did, however, temporarily fall back into the rarepair I had since I was like in elementary, SanGin

worthy canopy
#

LMAOOO

#

surprisingly I don't have any op rarepairs. I think I was never that much into shipping in that fandom in general. my biggest ones were zolu and lawlu

#

because I just love grumpy x sunshine ships apparently

#

kalrobin is one of many

mellow hemlock
#

i wrote the most lawlu fics

#

I was writing for lawlu before there was even 1k, I teamed up w an author at the time to write a bunch to get it to 1k

#

Though I think we stopped before we reached that iirc

worthy canopy
#

I barely interacted with the one piece fandom at all

#

I used to not be a fandom person I just rambled to my friends until their ears fell off

mellow hemlock
#

It was one of my firsts actually

#

The amount of words I wrote for published op fics

gritty trout
#

...

#

there goes my confidence

mellow hemlock
#

That doesn't include scrapped or deleted fics (I deleted a few)

#

Or fics I never published

worthy canopy
#

I only started to interact more in fandoms when I got tumblr (bc before that I wasn't active on any social media either) and I spent most of my time in cartoon fandoms so far
it's kinda funny I used to not post my art at all ever. I shared it with my friends and never posted anything publicly bc idk I didn't really care enough

mellow hemlock
#

I was insane

worthy canopy
#

still are /lh

mellow hemlock
#

One fic

mellow hemlock
#

I drop dead after writing like >1k in a sitting

worthy canopy
#

I don't think I'll ever write a fic that long in my life

gritty trout
#

bruh, i drop ded after like 2 or 3 words

mellow hemlock
#

The 70k was the original, dropped it to rewrite. 45k is the rewrite, but then I lost interest in op and stopped

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

Now I'm most definitely repeating this because GPoB is at 10chs for only the first part. Though those 10chs are a little under 30k

#

Yeah definitely

mellow hemlock

Like I'm not really an artist so I almost never finish anything

wait this conversation reminded me I was gonna go ask my fren for writing advice RobinSipLeave

RobiBal kissing is my favorite thing ever

me too aghh they're so cute and fluffy

mellow hemlock

I want to draw RobiBal kissing now but not only can I never draw kissing right, but also my cat is right on me

#

Also I haven't finished a single wip

worthy canopy
#

god I've practiced drawing kissing so much and I still can't do it right

#

I hate drawing side view

#

fortunately or unfortunately I'm the stubbornest mf alive and will stop at nothing to make my fictional little guys kiss

mellow hemlock
#

The lips fuck me up

#

I just can't draw the heads looking right. They're always too high too low or it doesn't make sense

worthy canopy
#

being into unpopular media and rarepairs is both a blessing and a curse. I'm constantly starved but also the hunger increases my motivation to produce the content that I want to see

If there's even ONE new person who makes something for either or I'll be happy

yes

i wasnt expecting that

stable ruin
#

i guess not A lot would change (since we're both both of those) but like it seems strange

#

so strange

worthy canopy
#

I can easily imagine myself as a writer. I love reading and Storytelling and have a whole book collection. even though being an artist is so fundamental to my identity

stable ruin
#

in an alternate universe where i didnt start writing fanfic at 15 i might have focused more on my art

worthy canopy
#

changing the subject but I just rmred I have a question about the kalrobibal explosion. should I also save art that is only kalrobin or only robibal for the event??

#

or only stuff that is the 3 of them

mellow hemlock
#

It can be KalRobiBal or a duo of any of the 2

worthy canopy
#

maybe I'll leave the robibal ones for the explosion

#

but post the kalrobins

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

Yeah I don't wanna hold anyone back from posting stuff that they want to post

worthy canopy

oh I hate posting my art HSERUJDADH

#

my friend had to grip me by the shoulders and shake me (metaphorically) saying lucas you're starving your fans. lucas they're going hungry. for the love of god feed them

#

sorry to all of my fans but I'm terrible at posting my art

tropic torrent
#

That’s ok

#

Like… it’s your art. You’re technically not obligated to post it.

#

Do we still want to see it? Yea. But wether you want to post it is your own choice.

mellow hemlock
#

I agree but also. I wanna see your art

#

It make me go explodes

worthy canopy
#

it's better for me if I post it bc the more visibility I get for my art the better for job opportunities and such

#

I'm just endlessly annoyed by it for noo reason

#

knowing that ppl enjoy seeing it does give me more motivation to post it though KirioJoy

Trying to make a living as an artist? That's rough.

GGGRGRGRHRRGRRGRGRHHRHH sorry I meant to say . kalego in an EXTREMELY RARE display actually returns robin's affections (maybe he's tired of being messed with and does this to mess w/ robin back bc he knows he'll get a nice reaction) and robin who was just silly goofying until 2 seconds ago is suddenly flustered beyond belief because ???!!!!!?!?!??!?!!!! KALEGO ACTUALLY KISSING AND FLIRTING WITH HIM BACK ????

mellow hemlock
# worthy canopy GGGRGRGRHRRGRRGRGRHHRHH sorry I meant to say . kalego in an EXTREMELY RARE displ...

"Kalego-sensei Kalego-sensei!!" Kalego clicks his tongue as the noisy pitter-patter of hurried, excited footsteps rapidly approach him. He tries to pick up his pace to avoid the incoming annoyance, but said annoyance doesn't take the hint.

"Hello, Kalego-sensei!!" Robin greets cheerfully, the overzealous and overly loud volume used causing Kalego to grimace. Not wanting to deal with Robin—or having the energy to do so—Kalego opts to simply ignore him and continue his walk to leave.

"Hey hey hey, Kalego-sensei? Can you not hear me? Hellooooo? Kalego-sens—"

"What do you want?" Kalego snaps as he begrudgingly turns around, cutting off the insistent babble that was already giving him a headache.

"Awwww, so you could hear me after all! Why didja act like you couldn't? That's pretty mean... Ah!! Maybe... could it be that you were embarrassed? I knew you were the shy type, but—"

"Silence. I am neither. Stop saying nonsense and get to the point before I exterminate you."

"There you go again~ I know you don't actually mean it~" Robin ignores his previous warning and gets overly into his space as he so loves to do—much to Kalego's neverending hatred. "There's no need to be embarrassed or shy~ I mean, we're all teachers here!" Robin flashes a giant smile that has Kalego's hand twitch with the desire to crush it.

Nevermind his blatant disregard of his warning and order, the menace dared to compare himself to the same level as him. It appears that he's never been taught how to show proper respect.

Kalego takes a single step forward, staring down at the shorter demon, "You have quite the habit of getting into my personal space despite my constant reminders not to, Newbie. That, and disobeying my orders."

"Huh? Well, that's because—" Rather than grabbing Robin's face like he normally does, he places the palm of his hand over Robin's mouth instead, effectively shutting him up. He slowly dips down so that his mouth would be closer to Robin's ear, and lowers his voice to a threatening growl.

"Do I need to teach you restraint and how to properly obey orders? Watch yourself before I drill both into you, Newbie." When Kalego pulls back, Robin is silent. Which, normally Kalego would be pleased about... if it weren't for the fact that Robin's face was completely and utterly red.

Was there a screw loose in his—actually, no, there was no reason to question if there was.

On instinct, Kalego changes the position of his hand to instead grab the entirety of Robin's face. Robin screams as Kalego gives him the usual punishment, and Kalego promptly leaves him behind so that he would not need to deal with whatever that was.

Well... at least it got him to shut up for a moment. So maybe that wasn't too bad.

#

This. Slipped entirely away from the plan. I was intending on doing as you said, Kalego kissing and Robin flipping. But somehow this happened.

worthy canopy
#

PASSING AWAY

mellow hemlock
#

Ok ok alt version. Robin annoying Kalego, Kalego, as you said, had enough and just. Kisses him.

"Quiet down already." He grumbles, taking his leave with Shichiro now that the frozen Robin was unable to follow him. The sweet silence lasts all but mere seconds, before Robin starts letting out incoherent babbles, causing Kalego to scoff.

Shichiro dips down so that he matches Kalego's height better, "Teasing Robin-sensei like that isn't very kind, Kalego-kun..."

"Hmph." Kalego shuts the door behind them as they leave, "It got him to be quiet, didn't it?"

"Jeez... even so, that's a little..." Shichiro gives him a disappointed look, but doesn't push any further on the topic after letting out a sigh. It wasn't as if he just kissed a mere coworker out of nowhere just to shut them up, that would be grounds for serious discipline, if not firing, of whatever teacher dared to do that to another.

Robin had the gall to request a so-called relationship with him, so he had better be able to put up with something as light as this. Though, the fact that he couldn't was amusing in itself.

#

Robin then comes running out of the room to catch up to Kalego.

"Kalego-sensei Kalego-sensei!! Do that again!!" Robin begs, latching onto his arm like a leech.

"Like hell?!"

"It looks like your little trick didn't work for long, Kalego-kun."

"You be quiet too!!"

worthy canopy
#

HGHNGFH I was gonna add on to the original idea earlier saying kalego's idea backfires bc after kissing robin he goes quiet temporarily and then gets LOUDER and clingier

#

this whole battler runs on a single braincell

mellow hemlock
#

LMAO

#

It's just the way of the world. Robin absolutely would in both scenarios

worthy canopy
#

it's a kalrobin brainrot kinda day

mellow hemlock
#

kinda KalRobiBal-ish at the end of the second scenario

mellow hemlock
#

Not the kiss, but Robin clinging to Kalego begging him

worthy canopy
worthy canopy
#

need to draw .... kalrobin kiss .... but also .... robibal kiss ..... but also ... kalrobibal !!!!! but also- passes out

#

I have so many drawing ideas I don't even know what to do first

topaz lynx
#

The artist struggle, been there

worthy canopy
#

need to learn how to clone myself asap

#

alternatively need to convert as many people as possible into my ships asap so I'm not one of the only people drawing stuff for it anymore

fast night
#

so uhh do you guys suffer from same face syndrome or different face syndrome everytime you draw characters

worthy canopy
#

I struggle with keeping my style consistent so ig different face syndrome

stable ruin
#

i don't think i suffer from either?

#

idk i dont draw much

topaz lynx
#

When I drew consistently, same face. Now it's the opposite as I'm inconsistent af

mellow hemlock
#

Since I draw fanart mostly and I try to keep it similar to the og content, I don't find myself running into that issue as the art I draw for don't have it either. I don't have much og content.... at all

#

I've drawn a few and don't think I really ran into an issue where I thought they looked the same? Maybe drawing a lot of different faces of different characters helps?

#

But same as Lucas

tropic torrent
#

Im trying to draw decent faces.

worthy canopy
#

I don't draw much original content either
my problem (if you can call it that) is that for every new fandom that I get into and every art that I see and love I try to incorporate elements of those into my drawings, even when they're wildly different styles, so my "style" changes with nearly every drawing ghat I make because I'm always putting in the effort to make it different

#

I've made drawings and paintings in pretty much every style possible (minus maybe realism. that's the only one I find boring) and am always changing which one I use for my drawings. I've been joking for years that someday someone's gonna accuse me of art theft just because some of my art looks so different

#

I'm still trying to figure out what style I like for drawing mairuma characters .. I think the cartoony style I have atm is cute but it's not detailed enough

mellow hemlock
#

Same I still haven't decided which to draw them in so I just draw in whatever style my hand wants at that time

worthy canopy
#

yep exactly

worthy canopy
#

cursed au where robin is the senior and kalego is his junior

gritty trout
#

How is that cursed?

worthy canopy
#

idk something about that feels wrong

worthy canopy
#

I should've known this would happen

topaz lynx
#

How it always happens

#

Seriously, though, Robin senpai would cause Kalego to suffer so much, I kinda love it?

worthy canopy
#

kalego already suffers as a senior. as a junior he would suffer so much more

#

but it'd be funny if kalego still hurt robin like grabbing his face and stuff

mellow hemlock
#

I mean he did bite Opera's tail

worthy canopy
#

thinking abt it

#

their dynamic might not even change much

#

well

#

kalego wouldn't be able to call him newbie

#

robin calls him newbie instead just to tease him

mellow hemlock
#

"my cute kouhai"

#

(does this to every new teacher apparently, but Kalego hates to be the receiving end of this)

worthy canopy
#

🥰

#

me just an hour ago: lol what if robin was the senior instead of kalego haha just kidding
me right now, thinking of how their personalities might shift, how their dynamic would change and how I would re-design them: azz

mellow hemlock
#

I feel like Robin would be a lot like Dali

worthy canopy
#

I was thinking the same thing

#

but more hyperactive

mellow hemlock
#

What if Robin wasn't just like. Barely his senior by a year or two, but actually p much one of the teachers with the highest seniority next to Dali

worthy canopy
#

I didn't specify but that is how I was imagining it. like kalego and robin switched positions

mellow hemlock
#

So Kalego has to speak to him in that begrudgingly respectful way of speech u see him sometimes use against higher ranking/seniority demons he's forced to respect

mellow hemlock
# worthy canopy but more hyperactive

Dali is laid back teasing while Robin is constantly leaning into your space, laughing, and dragging you around everywhere while talking your ears off

worthy canopy
#

I really want to draw them now . I wonder what I could change in their design to make it clear it's an au where robin is older than kalego

mellow hemlock
#

This means Dali-Suzie-Robin trio

#

Robin in the bg doing his little arms up cheer

#

Dali and his green demons hahahaha

#

Wait-

#

Killing that thought where it stands before that spirals

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

I was thinking of making them closer in height but at the same time it's kinda weird bc I think the barbatos family is all supposed to be very tiny

mellow hemlock
#

Could also make his face shape more like Dali rather than round and squishy and soft and edible and-

#

Well Robin is from a branch family

#

He's not really that short, it's just. Kalego and Balam are tall.

#

And Nishi is inconsistent with height

worthy canopy
#

and also canon is my bitch and I can do whatever I want . I forgot about that fact

mellow hemlock
#

That as well

#

It's already an au so

#

You can go ham

#

Ohh wait this makes Robin's touchiness better because Kalego can't shove him away

#

He has to stand there and deal with it as Robin slings an arm over his shoulder and basically drags him down because Robin isn't taller than him.

A barely restrained from a growl, "Would you please stop this..." Is the most he can do, which Robin always ignores with a laugh

worthy canopy
#

OHHH also robin's ambition is to be a great teacher and he's a newbie in canon but here he's older and more experienced so I think it'd be fun to see how he has already achieved that and have kalego begrudgingly respect him because as a teacher and a demon he is genuinely capable

mellow hemlock
#

It's like how Kalego hates Dali's teasings in canon but can't do anything to stop it other than request for him to

#

But also respects him as a teacher despite his attitude and teasings

#

I think Robin is the type to always keep striving and not settle. So even if he was more experienced here, higher ranking, and is mostly respected as a teacher by others, he'd still continue to strive to be a good teacher

worthy canopy
#

in this au if kalego still became iruma's familiar robin would definitely know about it this time and with that knowledge he would be unstoppable

mellow hemlock
#

Oh absolutely

#

The misfits losing the very last remaining bit of respect for their teacher as they watch him get coddled by some other teacher, and can do nothing but politely beg request for them to stop

worthy canopy
#

LMAOOO

mellow hemlock
#

He even gets cheered on by said teacher in the most embarrassing ways possible

#

"you can do it my cute kouhai!! I believe in you!!"

worthy canopy
#

balam as robin's kouhai as well

mellow hemlock
#

Ur so right

#

Stop reminding me before I fall for a new ship with no content

#

HAHHAAHA

stable ruin
mellow hemlock
#

Anyways. Balam kouhai

#

Do you think he'd be a tad nervous about gaining so many new coworkers as a newbie?

#

Robin is so friendly though, that it makes the transition easier

topaz lynx
#

This is so cute I love it

mellow hemlock
#

Kalego: God I can't stand that Robin guy, why is someone like that a senior?

Balam, who is currently trying to figure out the best way to brew Robin's tea for his next visit: I think he's nice

#

Robin doesn't show any fear of his appearance whatsoever

#

Also calls Balam his "cute kouhai"

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

Yeah he's not overly nervous but it's a back of the mind kinda thought of "ahh, what if everyone is afraid of me?"

#

And he finds great relief in the fact Robin, the teacher assigned to train him, shows 0 fear of him. It'd have been very awkward if his trainer was afraid of him.

worthy canopy
#

not only that but his mentor is very friendly towards him. how nice

#

with enough time they'd probably become very clingy. balam going to robin to vent about how his students think he's scary and letting robin comfort him

mellow hemlock
#

Hng

#

Robin always cheering him up telling him one day he'll find students who don't fear him, because he's a good teacher and a nice guy (just like how he always tried to cheer up Bachiko)

#

And just like with Bachiko, he was right with Balam

#

Ohhh Balam excitedly telling Robin in the future about his two new promising students Azz and Sabro who had asked him to teach them

#

Robin is so happy for him

worthy canopy
#

OOUGGHHG AAAAAAAAAA

#

for some reason coming up with angst scenarios just makes me go "hehehe look at them suffer" but talking abt fluff inflicts psychic damage on me

screaming in agonizing pain thinking about robibal but in a good way

Even when I made that traitor Robin RobiBal, I didn't go as insane as I usually do for angst

I'm losing my mind

kalrobibal makes normal people insane and insane people insaner

It really does

To think this all started off as a joke for me

I can actually probably find my first ever message that made me go "wait actually—"

but I'll still have enough time to finish stuff for the explosion for sure

mellow hemlock
#

Don't push urself for the event!! We can always change the date since it's such a small-scale thing

#

Creative stuff can be difficult bc life, procrastination, and burnout. If everyone feels like the deadline isn't enough, I can just change it to another date. Plenty of 6's and 13ths

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to finish something by then bc there's still plenty of time but for now I've been endlessly struggling with drawing and redrawing things

it's only a matter of time before we find ways to include opera more in the poly ship

#

they're the most relevant in my students au but even there we haven't discussed opera much and focused mostly on kalrobibal

#

we're sleeping on the untapped potential here

#

especially since opera is also a teacher now and robin's kouhai

topaz lynx
#

Opera Kouhai... 🥺💜

#

That made me so happy, I wanted Robin to be a senpai again so bad-!

#

Atori hurt him 😢

stable ruin
#

yeah

mellow hemlock
#

Funnily enough I kinda am a OpeRobi shipper, and I'm also an OpeKal one, but when it comes to the KalRobiBal student au, my brain just wants to think about mostly RobiBal, and then KalRobi.

#

I do recon that Opera finds Robin amusing on top of cute once it's revealed that he's a freak

worthy canopy
#

I was an adult trio shipper before I was a kalrobibal shipper so it feels natural to include opera in the polycule but my brain has a heavy kalrobin bias so I've been mostly making stuff for them

mellow hemlock
#

Exactly that

#

I was an adult trio shipper but... RobiBal.......... KalRobi....

#

Oh I do imagine their relationship is like Robin acknowledging Opera is strong and also finds them cool, but still always tells them that Kalego will beat them one day

#

Full belief in Kalego even when Kalego isn't there or asking for it

#

Wait this cycled back to KalRobi again oops

#

Robin def joins Kalego on the breadruns Opera sends him on

#

Just willingly. Opera didn't even tell him to

worthy canopy
#

jelly kalego idea but with operobi. I think seeing robin and opera flirt would make kalego cough blood and pass out on the spot

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

exactly

mellow hemlock
#

Robin thinks Kalego was hurt because he didn't praise him too, so starts giving him praises that only makes it worse

worthy canopy
#

HAHAHAHA

#

opera and robin getting together is something straight out of Kalego's worst nightmare

mellow hemlock
#

Opera purposely flirts w Robin just to fuck w Kalego

#

Hugs him. Pets him. Constantly calls him cute. Refers to him as "my cute kouhai" the most, and usually when Kalego is present

worthy canopy
#

ohh maybe fake dating/flirting that starts as a joke but evolves into real feelings. classic trope that I never had a ship to fit into

mellow hemlock
#

The hug is more of just a backwards hold when it comes to hugs from Opera, but lets Robin hug them without a fight

#

Hahahaha

#

Just to mess w Kalego

#

Until suddenly, it's not just to mess w Kalego

worthy canopy
#

the day they announce their relationship is official kalego skips becoming bedridden and goes straight to getting hospitalized

He's in shock. Just shock, and definitely nothing else like jealousy or want.

add balam to the mix and Kalego is going through the worst torture imaginable

What if the three hooked up while Kalego was in the hospital from OpeRobi hookup LMAO

worthy canopy
#

GERYJHDSDYJJGS he would straight up die

during break opera is letting balam pet them while robin is combing balam's hair and they're all being soft giving each other praise and affection.... while kalego is watching from the corner of the room fucking seething about to crumble into dust at any moment

kalego complaining they should stop being so lovey dovey at school to which opera replies "if you wanna join in just say so" just to rile him up further and kalego has to stop himself back from denying it because if he did it would get caught by balam's buzzer...

But Kalego and Balam are in one set he's in.... So I could make KalRobiBal pin

tropic torrent
#

👀👀👀

mellow hemlock
#

It's camping merch

#

They're camping

#

Eeeeee

#

Everyone going to their tents to sleep in while Balam and Robin just fly up a tree LMAO

tropic torrent
#

Can we see?

mellow hemlock
#

I don't have the pins yet ):

#

I can grab the promo art tho

tropic torrent
#

👀👀👀

mellow hemlock
#

There's stands too, but I couldn't find anyone selling the stand for Robin, just a single seller for the pin

#

I need the stand

tropic torrent
#

Also while we’re on the camping topic imma repost this:

Camping!

Idea: Robin plans a camping trip for the teaching faculty. Balam is excited to meet all the creatures on the trip and drags Kalego along. Dali tries to keep order and is consistently competing with Robin, Balam and Kalego for it. Suzie researches sus plants on this trip, Ifrit gets tossed around like a hot potato at some point. Dali wins most of the campfire games. Marbas tells the best horror stories. Orias keeps pointing out all the constellations in the sky. Robin sleeps in a tree, hides into Kalego and Balam’s tent when it rains. Kalego is not pleased, Balam welcomes him.

Slight KalRobiBal so it counts

When you’ve seen so much Kalrobibal in this batra pure shichikal feels weird

mellow hemlock
#

At some point you'll look at ShichiKal and your first thought will be "where's Robin?"

topaz lynx
#

He's there, just hiding

#

...now I have the thought of Robin peeking out from Balam's hair

mellow hemlock
#

HEHEHE

gritty trout
#

Oh no

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

I like it but I don't go insane for it like I do RobiBal or KalRobi

worthy canopy
#

I like seeing the fanart but shichikal doesn't fill the empty hole in my heart

mellow hemlock
#

My brain is so full of Kalego not believing his eyes after walking in to RobiBal lovey-dovey stuff

#

Like walking in to Robin doing Balam's hair, or Robin cuddled up on Balam's lap getting pets, or Robin's face stuffed with snacks that Balam gave him while they sit together during break, or RobiBal napping together or-

worthy canopy
#

all of the above on different occasions but ever-increasing frequency ......

mellow hemlock
#

EEEEE

#

My head is also full of KalRobiBal smooches

#

Surprised Balam leaning back where he sits as Robin sits up to grab his face for a smooch. Robin with his arms wrapped around Kalego's neck with an impish smile, leaning back together with Kalego. Slightly embarrassed Balam pushing a strand of his hair back as he dips down to kiss a very excited, cheering Robin who is reaching up to put his hands on both of Balam's shoulders. Kalego sitting beside Balam and turning Balam's face w one hand to kiss on his lips.

#

Gonna explode

#

If only I could draw kissing.

IF ONLY I COULD DRAW KISSING

worthy canopy
#

everything I've ever learned how to draw was just so I could draw my faves. including kissing (though in the end I still failed to learn that one. I need to practice side view faces more)

#

when I was drawing iruma/irumi wearing frills my muscle memory suddenly came back to me and I rmred that I learned how to draw frills by drawing blue diamond from steven universe

#

learned muscle anatomy to draw viewtiful joe characters

#

which is to say if you don't know how to draw kissing you can definitely learn it . for kalrobibal

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

alternatively sell your soul to the devil for drawing skills /j

mellow hemlock
#

How summon

#

Don't need soul. Need ability to KalRobiBal

#

Uuuuuu

#

Guess I'll practice side views again

#

The head I find isn't that hard most of the time, it's the damn body

#

Always bean

#

Never look right ...

worthy canopy
#

for me it's the head .... especially bc when 2 people kiss they tilt their heads slightly and getting that tilted head look right is a fucking nightmare

mellow hemlock
#

Getting the heads to line up properly is hell and I can never do it first try

#

I always have to edit it. But if it's trad, that's a lot harder than just lasso tooling it

worthy canopy
#

sketching on traditional is easier but digital is so convenient

#

I need a screen tablet for the best of both worlds but SO EXPENSIVE. ESPECIALLY WHERE I LIVE. JESUS CHRIST

tropic torrent
#

Ngl it’s different

worthy canopy
#

the suffering one must go through just to draw some demon men kissing

tropic torrent
#

I have one. The feel is different

#

I rather draw with my finger than a stylus

#

But I don’t mind drawing with a pencil

mellow hemlock
#

I've used the same drawing tablet and nib since I was like 13

#

I lost the nibs and the nib replacer within the first half year, and I was too lazy to ever buy a new one so I just kept using the same one

#

There was a point the nib kept getting stuck in the pen when I pulled back, causing a large weird streak each time, but I just wiggled it a bit and eventually it stopped doing it

mellow hemlock
#

I like to sketch something trad first and then redraw digital for all the fixing later.

worthy canopy
mellow hemlock
#

This thing has carried me throughout all these years so I have no current intentions on upgrading

worthy canopy
#

the day my tablet finally dies and stops working I'll be so fucked

mellow hemlock
#

If anything, if I happened to get the money for it I might just upgrade to the same model or brand that just has a bigger screen

#

I'll be fucked for awhile if mine breaks

#

Unpaid vacation fucked me up and now I'm behind on bills, so if my tablet were to shit itself id just be fucked for quite some time

worthy canopy
#

circling back to one of the foundations of this battler: complaining about writing and drawing problems

mellow hemlock
#

One must always return to their origins

worthy canopy
#

lmaooo 😭 😭 it's bc we're always running low on food, we're always trying to cook and despair when we fail bc if we don't do it nobody else is gonna

RTO

#

You know

#

Someday we should do this weird thing where we write a story together

#

Like we take turns to write what happens (the topic is kalrobibal obv)

#

Limit is discord word count. Minimum word count is one short para

worthy canopy
#

that's one way to write a collab fic yeah

#

Robin is weird in the sense that he’s a side character but gets a lot of screen time for one

#

He’s right behind Balam and Kalego in the fan book

worthy canopy
#

yeah he's one of the more relevant side characters. u kinda forget that he's just a side character until he disappears for entire arcs and ur like oh wait. that's right

tropic torrent
#

He’s more relevant than the other teachers at least

#

Bachiko being Iruma’s mentor does help as well

worthy canopy
#

yeah

#

still need more robin ............. sigh

tropic torrent
#

Thing is, I’m scared that Robin would RTO

#

Cause he seems pretty close to it

#

And has been gaining relevance of late

#

The weird thing about Robin is he’s just… kinda there. A lot about him is unexplained but he appears a lot and you know a lot about him in comparison with other teachers. Like they’re building him up for relevance but he’s still currently hiding in the shadows

#

This is probably just me thinking and wanting more Robin content though Xd

worthy canopy
#

DON'T REMIND ME EVERY DAY I THINK ABOUT HIS PARALLELS W/ KIRIWO AND THE LOVING TO CAUSE DESPAIR THING

tropic torrent
#

Well

#

We know one thing though

#

He’s likely not in an RTO stage right now

#

Cause if he were, a couple of demons would notice instantly

#

One of them being Azz

worthy canopy
#

yeah if he had returned to origins presumably balam would have noticed it

#

unless there's a way to hide it

tropic torrent
#

I doubt?

#

If there were Kirio would have

#

He didn’t

worthy canopy
#

maybe he just didn't bother or it's something that requires more mana than kiriwo has

tropic torrent
#

Hmmm

worthy canopy
#

so it could have been that he didn't hide it on purpose

tropic torrent
#

Either way Balam has buzzer so I doubt it’ll be possible

mellow hemlock
#

Ik he's a side character bc it took 6 years for him to get any merch and it's 2 pin sets and 1 mini stand w the others

tropic torrent
#

Yea but the other teachers get none lol

mellow hemlock
tropic torrent
#

I mean RTO is cool till you realise it rips KalRobiBal apart

worthy canopy
#

like they're not even side characters

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

blushenko was relevant Once

worthy canopy
#

not bc of the buzzer

mellow hemlock
#

Ah that

tropic torrent
#

Both actually

mellow hemlock
#

Well presumably their eyes only get like that when they've succumbed completely

tropic torrent
#

Hmmmm

#

So Robin’s on the way?

mellow hemlock
#

Like he didn't notice that Atori had RTOd and had only suspected it after continuing to attack the students

tropic torrent
#

Retrievable perhaps?

mellow hemlock
#

He knew he was probably a dangerous demon due to the dodging of his questions, but not RTO

tropic torrent
#

Wait but Kirio does have the reputation of being the demon that had RTOed the most

mellow hemlock
#

He can just tell from their eyes once they have succumbed. But Atori could keep his expression normal until he succumbed

tropic torrent
#

So the pictures seen… yea I guess they’ll be less severe than Kirio’s

mellow hemlock
worthy canopy
#

if robin actually turns out to be a traitor I'll die. just drop dead

mellow hemlock
#

I want traitor Robin

tropic torrent
mellow hemlock
#

Ohhh my fucked up little baby

#

Shooting others and relishing in their despair

#

Or maybe not traitor Robin but at the very least RTO yeah

worthy canopy
#

I love evil characters and I love robin but I don't want him to be completely evil

tropic torrent
#

Cause Nishi kinda shows a demon’s side early

mellow hemlock
#

Kalego can tame the RTO Robin

tropic torrent
#

Nearly as soon as after they’ve been introduced

mellow hemlock
#

Robin will take all orders from him KirioBlush

tropic torrent
#

Robin got nothing though

tropic torrent
#

Of course this doesn’t mean that he won’t get yoinked by Baal as an experiment candidate

worthy canopy
tropic torrent
#

Angst material I’m sorry I enjoy writing Robin angst

#

I’ll say it’s quite possible Robin does like giving others despair and all but loves the demons at Babyls too much to do it to them

#

So he actively suppress it for their sake

#

Then maybe Baal comes in and screws shit up idk

#

Kalego and Balam rescue?

#

Robin is spiderdemon au

mellow hemlock
#

Robin's ambition is to be a great teacher, but he does love inflicting despair with his arrows. Maybe he just finds other ways of doing so, like taking on jobs from his clan that involves hunting demons

worthy canopy
#

I hope that is the case

#

to me part of what makes robin appealing is that he's not a sadistic character who just pretends to be silly, he's a silly character who is also sadistic

mellow hemlock
#

Yes I like how he isn't just a fake bitch pretending. He's just silly and a freak

worthy canopy
#

he's just like me fr fr

mellow hemlock
#

I love making Robin be on top of Balam

#

Let me give context bc otherwise this sounds like something belonging to the other server

#

I mean like. Literally just on top of Balam. Like cuddling and Robin is just splayed along on top of him

#

Balam big. Perfect for napping on.

#

Or hugging for cuddles

#

Or for trying to sneak in a kissy without standing on his tippy toes or having Balam bend down

worthy canopy
#

EHIUAWHEUIHAWIEIAEWU

mellow hemlock
#

I don't blame u considering I was just in the other server w RobiBal

worthy canopy
#

robin climbing balam like clara climbs sabro so he can give him kissy

mellow hemlock
#

YES

worthy canopy
#

and snuggle his face against the crook of balam's neck

#

imagine this is long hair balam and robin is just. entirely hidden there

topaz lynx

#

Orias coming up to Balam: hey Balam-sensei, have you seen Robin-sensei around? Dali-sensei asked me to give him this paperwork.

Balam: oh yes, he's—

Robin, popping up from over Balam's shoulders: Hi Orias-sensei!! You needed me? :DDD

#

Why did it automatically change to emoji I'm on mobile

#

Did they make that a default on mobile that I have to turn off now too

worthy canopy
#

it was always a on by default thing I believe

you're forced to go into settings and turn it off at some point

Casual petting RobiBal hnnng

even better if he doesn't even realize what he's doing at first and apologizes to robin as soon as he notices and robin is just. really really happy

Robin didn't mind at all. He likes pet

Balam realizing he never stopped petting Robin

robin with the messiest fucking hair known to man smiling from ear to ear because he got so many pats from balam

mellow hemlock

And then Robin can return the favor by doing Balam's hair too

Robin is wearing his teacher uniform while Kalego is wearing his student

#

should I delete that

mellow hemlock
#

I dunno

#

Uh I think it's fine? Server rules wise at least. There's one person who always sends KalIru and OpeIru content in Iruma content and it's never deleted

#

But the linking of said fics in FF channel gets taken down I think.... Honestly it's not exactly in the rules so I'm unsure

mellow hemlock
#

It's from one person only I think

#

Usually mixed together w other mairuma content so it's easy to miss

The irukiri shipper in me going insane at these words for KalRobi
