The Birds' Nest

[elder haven]

Ugh we’re so horny

[analog oar]

very

horny

[thorny raft]

Not in this server you aren't

[elder haven]

Shhh

Let us be

We’re simping

Also you cannot talk Stares at your name

[thorny raft]

I literally cannot. Talking about "being horny" is verging into territory we cannot have in this server

[elder haven]

Ah alr alr

Okay we’ll try to avoid that area

[analog oar]

everytime I see balam
(I will be talking at least once in this thread everyday)

[elder haven]

Canon

I’m Balam’s mask

[analog oar]

I'm his shirt

and/or the green fur

[elder haven]

I thought the green crap was like, plant

Like a bush

Or feathers

[analog oar]

dunno
green bush sounds funny
so I say fur instead

[gaunt steeple]

im his left bra pad ✌️

[thorny raft]

[gaunt steeple]

oh no

[elder haven]

Idk I just thought since he uses plant magic it’d make sense if it were bush

[analog oar]

imagine he just grow flowers there for decorations

[thorny raft]

or feathers

[elder haven]

Yes, canon- 100%

[elder haven]

Tbh I thought they were feathers before seeing the sample of him wearing something else without it

My theory sadly fell apart there

[analog oar]

instead of this
we get a flower lion

[elder haven]

Just add water!

[thorny raft]

maybe it's made of moulted feathers, as opposed to being like, attached TO him

[analog oar]

it's okay
we can use our imagination

[elder haven]

Does Balam have green feathers though?

We’ve only really seen black feathers from him

[analog oar]

he got dark colored wings

[elder haven]

(His wings)

[analog oar]

ye

[elder haven]

Yeee

[thorny raft]

yeah they're really dark

[elder haven]

Jinx

Gimme Balam

[analog oar]

NO

[elder haven]

YES

[thorny raft]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/820098858545315840/873672966708269076/balamshield.gif

kinda dark green

[elder haven]

He so majestic

[thorny raft]

but like don't have to be HIS feathers.

[analog oar]

I like how the feathers are all floating down

[thorny raft]

bird magic beasts exist

[analog oar]

tru

[elder haven]

I thought that was just the lighting

[thorny raft]

so like, get feathers from birds like when you make feather pillows

[elder haven]

Ehhh I like saying he wears a bush better

The looks I get from my friends is funny

[thorny raft]

lol

honestly it lookslike fur or something to me

[analog oar]

aw like an actual bird
using other bird's feathers to decorate themselves

[elder haven]

It does tbh

Some scenes it’s more poofy like a bush and others it looks like fur

[analog oar]

lol imagine those are not decorations and is actually part of him( I know it's not)
and those just puff up or goes down according to his emotions

[elder haven]

Fucking adorable

I mean doesn’t it kind of do that?

[analog oar]

like they puff up when he tries to look intimidating

[elder haven]

Like out of comedic effect

[elder haven]

His hair definitely does

[analog oar]

his hair does do that

[elder haven]

Probably the anime style but when Iruma says he’s human Balam’s hair goes cra cra

[analog oar]

ye ye

I like when his hair does that

it's cute

and funny

[elder haven]

Bro was a frightened bird

They should’ve made him squawk or smth

[analog oar]

beloved bird man

they shouldve done that

[elder haven]

Iruma: I’m human-

Balam: Chirping incoherently

[thorny raft]

like when birds puff up

[analog oar]

ye

I like to put bird like behaviors on balam

[crisp harbor]

I love seeing people do that

[noble peak]

[analog oar]

HC:
balam got his bird feet(this is canon) and his claws from his mum
as well as the monster strength
and he got the luscious hair and the height from his dad

[analog oar]

and I like how "evil" balam's theme is

[elder haven]

I was like ‘bro this theme is like some cool ass villain but all I see is a hot bird—‘

[elder haven]

I like this

[analog oar]

fr

[elder haven]

I feel like the mom is the only parent who knows how to style hair too

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

During every molting season she’s like: oh for Derkila’s sake-

Because both Balam and his dad just have a nest of hair

[analog oar]

hair in every corner of the house

[elder haven]

(Pun 100% intended)

[elder haven]

Yes

And feathers

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

So many feathers

[analog oar]

lol imagine they are going some father and son bonding activities during molting season
and all other demons saw is just one big hair ball playing with a smaller hair ball

[elder haven]

I’m choking right now you can’t do this to me-

Mama Balam just grabbing hair ties and forcing them to at least put their godforsaken mane into it

Like ‘c’mon, can’t have people thinking we’re from the Goemon clan’

[analog oar]

and one time during molting season balam accidentally followed one of the clan members back to Goemon's house, it took them a while to notice that there's a unusual hairy ball demon is in the house with them

[elder haven]

Papa Goemon: Hmmm, I feel like there’s more of you compared to usual…

Stares at his only son and Balam

Papa Goemon: ….i see nothing wrong.

Just kidding Garp probably wasn’t even born yet but let’s just say that’s his dad lol

His dad wanted a new brother

Balam was confused

When did his dad become two dads?

[analog oar]

papa balam and mama balam is just panicking when they lost balam
and just putting up posters and the pictures in the poster is a a small hairy ball with only the eyes out

[elder haven]

‘Likes animals, looks like a ball of fluff, will follow you if you have a cool animal’

The Goemon’s eventually figure out Balam is there and is like ‘oh shit we unintentionally kidnapped a child-‘

They return the ball of fluff

I feel like Garp’s whole family is super sweet

[analog oar]

garp is sweet
it's probably reasonable that his family is sweet

[elder haven]

Garp: Wait….how do you know Balam-sensei?

Papa Garp: Oh you see one time he accidentally followed me home when he was a kid.

Garp: Excuse me-

Balam: And i kept coming since he was holding a cute animal.

Papa Garp: Don’t blame that on me!

Garp: Wait dad you accidentally kidnapped my teacher—?!

[analog oar]

lol i like the idea that they kept in touch after that one time

just instead of kalego go to meet up with each parent, balam was sent to meet up with the parents
i wonder how it would go

[elder haven]

They would, the Balam’s sound sweet and Garp’s a sweetheart

[analog oar]

balam would probably enjoy clara's family meeting

[elder haven]

Balam would be so nice:00

[elder haven]

Probably since they’d let him pet them without running

[analog oar]

ye

like how clara clings onto balam when they first met

[elder haven]

He’d see Clara’s little sister and go ‘I wanna hold- wait can’t hold without permission- but cute babies- but no- but babies- wait no-‘

[analog oar]

just him sitting there, with all the siblings in his lap, or some running in circle and just him petting the babies while talking to mama valac

[elder haven]

I think he’d be trying to pet all of them- like he’d been switching between petting the babies he was holding and then the siblings running around and he’d light fall over in his attempts

[analog oar]

he's really good with babies too

[elder haven]

Ofc ofc

[analog oar]

but babies are usually scared of him
sadly

[elder haven]

That’s why he’s such a good mentor towards Sabnock and Alice^^

[analog oar]

yea

[elder haven]

Oh you meant actual babies…

[analog oar]

lol

like clara's baby sister and brother

that baby

[elder haven]

I thought she only had baby sisters?

Her brothers were kids

I mean still smol but still

[analog oar]

is it ?

[elder haven]

Eh?

This just got confusing can we go back to Balam petting the babies

Balam is like a human, he pets everything

[analog oar]

ye

[elder haven]

Except we pet things we shouldn’t

[analog oar]

sin sin (lil bro) and ran ran(lil sis)

[elder haven]

Oh

I thought both were girls tbh

I’m dumb

[analog oar]

we tamed wolf and cats

[elder haven]

A guy attempted to pet a crocodile

He lost his hand

Said he didn’t regret it

[analog oar]

damn

[elder haven]

We crazy

Balam like: I can’t say I condone it but I understand

[analog oar]

i love balam

[elder haven]

Quite obvious

[analog oar]

you think balam would like rolling in sand
like birds sand baths

like for the next chapter

[elder haven]

Ooooo that’d be adorable

Some birds do take water baths

[elder haven]

It’d be cute

Honestly when I first saw him I swear to god all I can think was this guy:

From a fandom I used to be in and was my favorite character

I could not stop thinking Balam looked like him

(It’s the bird feet and wings)

(Also being a mama hen)

[analog oar]

ye

honestly balam is the frist character with that design

[elder haven]

I luv parental figures

[analog oar]

dont we all

[elder haven]

With what design?

[analog oar]

bird legs

[elder haven]

…..Stares at ancient gods and monsters with bird features

Bro we ain’t the first ones, trust us fanfiction authors have been around for years

[analog oar]

like for anime characters

i know

[elder haven]

Oh I haven’t watched much anime I wouldn’t know

I’ve watched like, 4

[analog oar]

here you go

[elder haven]

I’ll take your word for it:D

[elder haven]

I LOVE HIM

[analog oar]

i know

i do too

[elder haven]

He so small

HES HOLDING SMTH AAAAAAAA

Melts into grass

Just kidding I don’t touch grass

I still melt though

[analog oar]

bet he was really happy that his "parents" let him bring something "home"

[elder haven]

Balam: My parents finally let me bring smth home! I see nothing worrying about this sudden change.

Papa Garp: Why is this small child following me and why does he have a wild animal in his hands?

[analog oar]

papa garp probably invites him over for a drink every now and then
and probably will train together every once in a while

[elder haven]

What if Balam like, was friends with Garp?

Like growing up he was that one uncle that Garp thought he was related to bc Balam would have his hair grown out and covering him

And then during class he sees Balam with short hair and is like ‘UNCLE BALAM???’

He’s been tricked

[analog oar]

damn it i was typing uncle balam

[elder haven]

Hah beat you too it

[analog oar]

the class is shocked that garp is close to someone so "scary"

[elder haven]

Kalego: Balam why is my student now shaking, crying in the corner looking as though he’s been told he was adopted?

Balam with short hair: I uhm….well you see I might’ve accidentally been lying to him his whole life-

Kalego: I swear to god if you adopted one of my students I’m not sleeping in the same house anymore-

[analog oar]

he went home feeling betrayed that day

[elder haven]

Betrayal at its finest

[analog oar]

poor garp

[elder haven]

Garp was actually really sad he wasn’t related to Balam

Also Balam 100% taught Garp different ways to style his hair

[analog oar]

yes

passing down his mother's way

ways

[elder haven]

Ofc ofc

I feel like during molting season Kalego would just come to Baby’s with multiple feathers all over him

And like, Balam would be preened and clean as fuck

In reality Kalego helped him clean up, gets a bunch of feathers stuck to him, and bc he’s too tired to get them off he just goes to Babyls

[analog oar]

husbands

[elder haven]

Love the husbands

Although Kalego does not love the feathers everywhere from his husband

Kalego: Listen, I love you- BUT CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF THERES FEATHERS IN THE FOOD-

Kalego can’t bring out Cerberus at all because it’s sneezing every 2 seconds

[analog oar]

lol he just keep sneezing during lesson

[elder haven]

Naw that’s Cerberus

Cerberus: Sneezes

Kalego: Oh fuck-

multiple walls and furniture being crushed/blown away, and students being zapped by electricity

[analog oar]

kalego immediately got paid days off

paid hoildays ?

i dunno what its called

[elder haven]

Kalego: Let me leave.

Sully: why I’m sure it’s fine-

Kalego: A particle of dust from a collapsed wall fell on Iruma and made him sneeze.

Sully: Extra paid leave get out- IRUMA!!!

[elder haven]

Paid leave I’m pretty sure

[analog oar]

ah ok

kalego always use that excuse during molting season

[elder haven]

100%

In reality he just spending more time with his husband

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

….and to clean up the house bc there are feathers everywhere

[analog oar]

lol balam probably got paid leave as well, can't have the school covered in hair/feathers

[elder haven]

Naw he’s perfectly preened for the day

Kalego preens him but gets covered with feathers in the process

[analog oar]

nah i have to draw that now

[elder haven]

Pff please do

[analog oar]

WARM

[elder haven]

THE BBY

He uses it in his nest

Like a bird with feathers

And Kalego’s like: Balam, hun i love you- you need to stop

Balam sees nothing wrong with using his hair for the nest

Kalego is questioning when he married a bird and not a demon

Then he realized he married a gargoyle which meant he married both

[crisp harbor]

Honestly looks so cozy, Kalego is lucky

[elder haven]

Kalego: Should i enjoy this or not?

Balam: Nest!

Kalego: Balam please understand that not everyone has bird instincts.

[analog oar]

i am back

[analog oar]

balam: and not everyone has dog instincts

[elder haven]

My discord broke-

[elder haven]

Poor Kalego

[analog oar]

it's okay he got day offs

[elder haven]

Kalego digging through the backyard: ….Fuck off-

What if Balam’s feathers were like, not water proof?

Like an owl’s feathers

So he’s just a sad lump of wet feathers unable to fly

[analog oar]

skinny balam in the rain

even the green fur are not water proof

skinny balam

[elder haven]

Balam shrinks in the rain like that wool sweater

Kalego like: Balam are you good?

Balam a lump of wet feathers on the ground: ….help-

[analog oar]

wet balam

[crisp harbor]

[elder haven]

He looks so sad-

[analog oar]

he does

[elder haven]

Do you think Opera would dislike water?

[analog oar]

probably

[elder haven]

I mean yeah there are cats who like water but cats usually don’t like water bc it soaks their fur and makes them feel heavy, they can’t smell it (so they can’t sense it), and it makes them cold

So would Opera like or dislike the water?

[crisp harbor]

I mean, surely they don't hate it if they're inviting Kalego and Balam to the beach

[analog oar]

opera when water

[elder haven]

Fair

[analog oar]

i like drawing stick cats

[elder haven]

Can’t be a good security devil if all it takes is a raindrop for you to scramble

[analog oar]

tru

[elder haven]

Yes, good stick cats

[elder haven]

Bby Opera when Sully tried getting them to bathe

[analog oar]

yeas

balam when rain

[elder haven]

Sully at the next Babel meeting: Multiple scars and scratch marks all over his face and body, Opera went for the eyes

Lady Levi: Sully are you okay???

Sully: Perfectly fine.

Lady Levi: What monstrous beast could’ve hurt you so badly-

Sully: It’s fine, I won. Opera took a bath.

Lady Levi: what-

Reality: Sully didn’t actually manage to get Opera into the bath, he just cried hard enough that he flooded the bathroom.

Sully didn’t notice, he just thought: Oh hey I must’ve left the water on

Opera is traumatized

They now forever take a bath bc of that

[analog oar]

lol

poor baby opera

[elder haven]

After the bath Opera hid on top of the fridge

Wet cat on top of the fridge

Hissing

[analog oar]

wet cat hissing

[elder haven]

Opera is wet hissing cat

[elder haven]

Had brutal thought

So Atori, Shiida, and Kirio are far from the first demons to have tried doing smth to Babyls right? Where am I going with this- oh right

What if Balam made plants grow out of the intruders?

Like hanahaki but Balam’s doing it

Idk got inspired by art

Forgive me for being gory

[analog oar]

I like that idea

[analog oar]

brutal balam is my favorite

[elder haven]

Yeah I just thought I’d be cool if Balam just started growing flowers and shit out of their throat and lungs

And the intruders just coughing up blood and flowers and shit

Kalego’s first time witnessing it he was stuck between being horrified or thinking Balam’s hot

He thought both

[thorny raft]

Kalego: Well, now I'm very glad that I'm not on your bad side

[elder haven]

It’s like Clara

Iruma with Clara when he saw her throw a vending machine at someone

[analog oar]

I like to imagine what balam would look like when he's in his wicked phase

I wanna see wife go crazy

like damn

[elder haven]

Maybe

[elder haven]

Honestly same

[analog oar]

i feel like I have a thing to see a soft and happy character just snaps and go ape shit

[elder haven]

No you just have a thing for Balam

[analog oar]

maybe I do

I do actually

[elder haven]

Anyways Ima go play Roblox with my siblings (bc they’re threatening to take my manga if I don’t)

[analog oar]

oh damn

[elder haven]

Maybe I’ll come back and give more ideas with Balam

[analog oar]

I'll wait for your ideas

[crisp harbor]

There was a KalegoxBalam fic where they mention Balam crushing a guy's knee with his talons back in school that Kalego basically had an awakening over. That lives rent free in my brain

[elder haven]

Small emo Kalego: Sees Balam crush some guys knee with his talons

Kalego: ….goddamnit I’m gay

[exotic silo]

I love this pic so much it hurts

[elder haven]

WAIT WHERE

WHERE DID YOU FIND

[thorny raft]

OH this is from the anthology

[elder haven]

AAAAA I NEED TO GO READ THAT

NOW

[thorny raft]

it's the ch where they're trying to find Eliza's tail scrunchy

[elder haven]

FOR NONREASON AT ALL

COOL

GOTTA GO READ IT ALL

FOR NO REASON

DEFINITELY NO REASON

[thorny raft]

haha

[exotic silo]

What's the chaps name again

[thorny raft]

it's ch3

'Detective Iruma Case File: The Missing Fluff'

https://mangadex.org/title/a2263632-9329-4e3d-95d5-ee9022128581/houkago-no-iruma-kun

[delicate marten]

Aww, he's so cute in that ❤️

[crisp harbor]

[analog oar]

i wanna see balam go ape shit

[random bane]

yes please I want to see Balam go berserk too

[elder haven]

Do you think Balam would decapitate enemies?

Owls do this thing where they often decapitate prey before bringing it to the nest to eat

Just had a thought of what if Balam did that too?

Brutal I know but also bird Balam-

[analog oar]

demon balam probably won't (but maybe during wicked phase)
but mafia balam might

[elder haven]

Ugh we still haven’t heard anything about mafia Balam

[analog oar]

anything related to mafia balam are all my headcanons

[elder haven]

But honestly maybe in a wicked phase

[elder haven]

Reasonable

[random bane]

Could he? As strong as he is, quite possibly. Would he? Seems unlikely unless maybe during a wicked phase, although we don't know anything about how a WP affects him so even that's hard to guess

[elder haven]

Wicked phases usually make demons seek out destruction

[random bane]

But it's always interesting to think about "would X demon have ___ animal trait?"

[elder haven]

Sabro’s he was finding pleasure in fighting Atori

[elder haven]

I just like slapping animal features onto people

It’s funny

[random bane]

Yup, it's interesting

Makes me think of all of the weird nature things I've learned over the years

[elder haven]

As a fellow nature geek I absolutely agree

Just had thought- do you think demons would sometimes sleep upside down?

Like a bat?

[random bane]

I don't really know a whole lot about birds in general but I have a bunch of cats so it's always funny to think about Opera doing whatever stupid thing they're getting into

[elder haven]

I mean Agares would he’d sleep anywhere-

[elder haven]

Fair enough

[random bane]

Some probably do yeah

[elder haven]

I just kept thinking ‘Demon wing look like bat and bats are just winged puppies-‘

Just imagining Balam and Kalego sleeping upside down and like, holding each other in the air gives me life

[analog oar]

aw

but balam is more bird than bat tho

[elder haven]

Kalego then

Also baby bats will cling onto their parent’s chest while they fly

[analog oar]

do you think they;s tried the spiderman kiss before

they*

[elder haven]

I am now imagining Kalego carrying Iruma like that and I am happy

[elder haven]

Yes

Balam just swinging from a tree while Kalego is reading at the base of said tree and they just kiss

[analog oar]

beautiful

[elder haven]

Of course

[analog oar]

god i really wanna see mafia balam now

[analog oar]

i say that 24/7

[elder haven]

What if they just made him a really parental torturer?

[elder haven]

I can’t blame you

[elder haven]

Like- someone insulted the kids and Balam just immediately ties them to a chair and begins threatening to take a couple fingers off

Balam: For every word I hear you say about Iruma is another finger I’ll take. Don’t worry if you run out of fingers I’ll move onto teeth

He’s going to say all of this with just the most cheerful voice ever

Perfectly calm

[analog oar]

i love it when character say threatening things with a smile or with a calm voice

[elder haven]

Honestly I just realized I basically took Kirio’s whole vibe and gave it to mafia Balam

I mean it fits lol

[analog oar]

you did

[elder haven]

Balam would make a great torturer if he didn’t care for animal life

[analog oar]

but remove the horniness

[elder haven]

Replace it with parentalness

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

Keep the gay tho

[analog oar]

perfect maifa balam

[elder haven]

Kalego needs his husband

[analog oar]

the gay have to stay

[elder haven]

Balam’s the at home wife

He stays home, takes care of the mafia gremlins, tortures a couple people

He’s great^^

[random bane]

haven't we actually seen Balam hanging upside down by his feet before? It's not much of a stretch to imagine that maybe he could sleep like that too

[elder haven]

Oh yeah in the anime

[analog oar]

nah he canonically sleep sitting up

[elder haven]

Fuck I thought you were talking about when he was first introduced

He was upside down

[elder haven]

Balam:DDD

[analog oar]

his poor back

[crisp harbor]

There's room in his lap for sleepy snuggles

[analog oar]

ye

[crisp harbor]

But yeah his poor neck and back

[analog oar]

i would love to crawl in there

and sleep

[crisp harbor]

Yeah he was on the ceiling in the intro chapter, too

He's so silly

[elder haven]

It’s probably okay for him bc if his species does that it shouldn’t harm them

Although that would explain his horrid posture…

[elder haven]

He beautiful boy

[analog oar]

precious wife

[crisp harbor]

[elder haven]

Just had small brainrot idea

Balam make nest

He makes nest out of dried grass and sticks and feathers and shit

[analog oar]

lol i animated that before

[elder haven]

What if he just secretly takes (steals) Kalego’s shirts or sweaters to put in his nest?

Like, Kalego can’t find one of his sweaters and finds Balam cuddling with it in his nest

[analog oar]

kalego just lost a couple expensive sweaters

and found the remains in balam's nest

[elder haven]

Probably doesn’t care about the price tbh

He rich rich

[analog oar]

yea

anything for wife

nothing is too expensive

[elder haven]

Balam probably has a couple of Kalego’s feathers from when he was a familiar

When they fall off Balam probably grabbed some and just treasures them

[analog oar]

i can his eye just spraking when he caught some white fur when he is brushing fluffy kalego

can see*

[elder haven]

He adores it

[analog oar]

he just have a place for the collection of white fur

[elder haven]

Kalego is too embarrassed to even look in the direction Balam has it in

[analog oar]

lol yes

mafia wife

[elder haven]

I love him

Slams fist against table WHY CANT YOU JUST BE REAL

[analog oar]

he's real
just haven't show up yet

oh you mean irl

too bad

||btw i suggest you to get the special role in #✨role-master✨ , just in case mafia balam shows up||

[elder haven]

And what if he doesn’t show up-

[analog oar]

i hope

:D

[elder haven]

Just imagine they never show Balam lol

[analog oar]

i will cry

[elder haven]

He just doesn’t exist in the mafia au

Or maybe even worse he’s a background character

Never seen just mentioned

[analog oar]

he does exist in mafia au
just didn't mention what he's job was or what he look like

but i will cry if he never shows up

[crisp harbor]

[elder haven]

Really?

Oooo nice^^

Honestly my bets are on torturer or medic

[analog oar]

balam was simple mentioned that he is part of the underground mafia and that's it
no nothing

simply*

[elder haven]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just wanna see Balam

[analog oar]

no background, no detail, nothing

it's okay
we can use our headcanons

[elder haven]

Of course we can

But also

Imagine Balam in the mafia style

He’d look so FINE

[analog oar]

he is already FINE AF

[elder haven]

UGH I KNOW BUT ITS A DIFFERENT VERSION OF HIM

I want to see every version of him😩

[analog oar]

me too

we've seen human balam, we've seen classic balam

all we need is the mafia balam

and we are finished with our collection

[elder haven]

Indeed

[analog oar]

damn mafia iruma doesn't have their own category in ao3

[elder haven]

The English fandoms too small for it

[analog oar]

[thorny raft]

i mean tbf it just got a manga

your best bet rn is to search 'mafia au' as a tag in the Iruma series

[analog oar]

<3

[analog oar]

that's all i can say

don't wanna get banned

[elder haven]

Oh my god please just [Insert multiple phrases of me being a simp that would probably get me slapped by o great mod Icy]

[calm coyote]

Why aren't you real

[thorny raft]

he looks so subtly sinister there it's great

[elder haven]

He’s like every dad when they tell their kids they just ‘want to talk’ to their new partner

‘I just want to talk to them’ quickly turns into ‘I just want to put poison in their tea’

[calm coyote]

He would

"Would you care for some tea?"

"Oh no I don't drink tea"

"...that's fine...."

[elder haven]

Ofc

Eventually it’d go to ‘I just want to rip his wings off and throw him off the nearest building’

[crisp harbor]

I really loved this panel-! So friendly and threatening

This one was also so good 👌

[elder haven]

Overprotective mama Balam^^

[calm coyote]

I love him

[light anchor]

We all agreed Balam can be a mother or/and father to the misfits

I personally hc it him as a protective mama more than the dad ngl

[calm coyote]

Wdym he literally is im nishi this is canon

[elder haven]

Canon absolutely

[elder haven]

He’s more of a protective mama hen but a parental dad

He is both

[crisp harbor]

I was so sad he didn't join kalego at the beach. Where is our spouse

[elder haven]

I think he had to go to work

He did say he was slipping out to help Kalego with his evil cycle

So he probably went back to work

[analog oar]

i wanna know his secret mission so bad

[elder haven]

Same

[crisp harbor]

Couldn't he just... skip again? Jk, unless...

[analog oar]

I feel like balam would smell like a soft cinnamon smell
or just some flower-y smell

[elder haven]

Dew

Or the smell after rain

Maybe wildflowers

[analog oar]

the smell after rain

that is the nicest

[crisp harbor]

Oooo, petrichor-!

I love that smell

[elder haven]

Yeahhhh

I just think he’d have a nature like smell

[analog oar]

imagine being held by him,
surrounded by the smell of rain and flowers/plants
and it's nice and warm in his arm

I can call asleep instantlt

I want the balam fragrance so bad-

[crisp harbor]

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

AWWWWWWW

[random bane]

This is my favorite

[elder haven]

HES HOLDING HIS HUSBAND

[random bane]

I never noticed that either

[elder haven]

The husbands

[analog oar]

i love the lil balam scattered around the birthday chapter

[elder haven]

Ugh, someone make an edit with low quality Balam’s

Please

I beg

I can’t edit

[analog oar]

i require villian balam

[elder haven]

I’ll think of an au

[analog oar]

villain balam is too powerful
he knows creature's weakness/ weakpoints

[elder haven]

Also he’s hot

Kalego down

[analog oar]

yes

kalego: why are you doing this, shichiro.. i know there's good-
villain balam: look over ready to reply
kalego( and me): passed out from nose bleed

[elder haven]

Honestly fr fr

I don’t blame him

Iruma: Sensei got taken? How? He must’ve so strong to take out Kalego!

Kalego in reality: Passed out due to gay

Balam: Well….free husband-

[analog oar]

balam carried fainted kalego in bridal style to the church

[crisp harbor]

*jumps into his arms *
"Oh, nooooo, I've been CAPTURED-!"

[elder haven]

Naberius clan: You must always stay loyal to Babyls, you must always protect the students and—

Kalego in Balam’s arms:

Naberius clan: Kalego?!

Kalego: Sorry- his name is Babyls right? Pointing at Balam

Balam: ….well I mean I don’t see your name on it-

[analog oar]

i wonder what villain balam would look like

[elder haven]

Hot

I’d like to think kind of like the heartbreaker outfit

[analog oar]

that's a main point, all balam have that

[elder haven]

Bc the teachers were supposed to be ‘bad guys’ in that story line

[elder haven]

…..damn you right

[analog oar]

god damn

brain rot to balam

everyday

[elder haven]

Every fucking day

[analog oar]

why is he so fine

nishi cooked when she made him

like damn

what did she add on him
making him so god damn hot

[elder haven]

Gayness

And thighs

[analog oar]

i need him in my life

[elder haven]

Don’t we all?

Fuck I should’ve been writing two hours ago

Instead I’m talking about Balam

[analog oar]

lol

it's okay
balam is good
life is good

https://fxtwitter.com/isiko_mim/status/1462030813097123843?s=20

[elder haven]

GOD IM GAY

BUT NOT

GOD IM STRAIGHT

NOW SEND ME TO HELL

[analog oar]

he would be too powerful he he actually wear the teacher's uniform

[crisp harbor]

I want to see it on him in cannon Nishi pls

[elder haven]

Dali: Sullivan sir, please change Balam’s uniform.

Sully: Why? It’s perfectly fine, we modified it to fit him.

Dali: No it’s fine- what’s not fine is that Kalego keeps passing out whenever he so much as looks in his direction!

Sully: What-

They changed it to his uniform now

Kalego forced himself not to pass out bc his husband was showing more skin

He now gets to enjoy his husbands arms

And neck

[analog oar]

this is actually canon
im nishi, trust me /j

[elder haven]

Don’t worry even if you aren’t Nishi (you totally are) I 100% believe this

Oh my god

Wait

Imagine

Imagine

Imagine Balam doesn’t wear his mask as a villain

He lets his mouth scar be full view

And and he doesn’t wear gloves and shit

Bro as a villain he wouldn’t be hiding himself at all

[analog oar]

he wants other to be scared of him

:D

he would be scary
and with his hair everywher

looking menacing

[elder haven]

And hit

He’d look hot as hell unhinged

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

OMG WAIT

[analog oar]

YES

[elder haven]

Imagine he like fuckin scary villain and shit right?

But like after doing all that crazy shit he goes home and is still friendly with his parents

‘Yes I tried kidnapping the guard dog of Babyls how was your day mom?’

[analog oar]

he can excuse killing, but he draw the line at disrespecting parents

[elder haven]

Definitely

Mama Balam: Shichirou dear are you alright? Maybe you should get a partner, you seem lonely lately.

Balam: Okay mom^^

‘Breaking news! Guard dog of Babyls kidnapped by feral Gargoyle-‘

[analog oar]

mamas boy balam
no matter villain or hero

[elder haven]

Absolutely

What if Balam was like Shiida?

A villain but still parental

[analog oar]

well we still don't really know what shiida's motive and goal is
but i personally prefer brutal balam

[elder haven]

Fair

Also yes brutal Balam

But also mama bird Balam

[analog oar]

im like atori
i'd love to see balam use his strength on things

[elder haven]

Like, he’ll decapitate someon

[elder haven]

No you’re not Atori, Atori likes pain

You just like Balam

I like to imagine Balam would 100% kill someone but after killing them and is covered in blood he stops to pet a stray cat he sees

Crack theory: only reason he spared the misfit class is bc their teacher was hot

[analog oar]

he have to wipe his hand with a handcloth first then he pat the cat

[elder haven]

Can’t get the cat dirty ofc^^

[analog oar]

exactly

[elder haven]

Balam: About to maybe pull a Marbas on Jazz

Kalego: Let go of my student.

Balam turning around: and why should- Oh, oh my Derkila.

Kalego: ???

Balam: Drops Jazz Damn…

Kalego: Uh- Excuse me?

Balam: ….fuck mom always said I seemed gay-

[analog oar]

balam: i guess mom was right, anyway walks over to kalego, looking down at him you single?

[elder haven]

Oh my god

My god

Confident Balam?

Fuck

Fuck imagine Balam just breaking into Babyls multiple times just to flirt with Kalego

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

Dali: Hears crashing What was that?

Kalego sipping tea: Nothing, just Balam.

Dali: You mean the feral gargoyle trying to kill our students?!?

Kalego: It’s fine.

Lied screaming in the distance:

Kalego: Oh he chose Lied this time.

[analog oar]

kalego: stop breaking into the school- standing in front of misfits, protecting them like a dad should

balam: you still haven't answered my question from last time, i will come back until you answered

[elder haven]

Balam constantly breaking in to flirt with Kalego

[analog oar]

beautiful

[elder haven]

The other teachers figure out he gets distracted with Kalego

So they sorta shove him into Balam’s arms

Like ‘deal with your crazy psycho boyfriend’

[analog oar]

i feel like we should move the topic to the other batra

[elder haven]

KaleBalam batra probably

[analog oar]

yea

[analog oar]

villain balam would be great friends with kirio

[elder haven]

Yes

Kirio admires

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

He admires feral Balam

[analog oar]

and I'm kirio in this scenario

[elder haven]

Ironically I got into Iruma bc of Azz

I actually watched the show for Kalego

[elder haven]

Ugh Kalego’s so lucky😩

[elder haven]

Fair

[elder haven]

When he jealous of someone talkin with his husband he pick up Kalego, throws him over his shoulder, and walks out

[analog oar]

lol i saw a clip of him reacting to iruma's reveal and be like "im fucking watching this, he is adorable"

[elder haven]

Kalego: Shichirou we already have 13 kids!

Balam: 14.

Kalego: ….

[elder haven]

Kalego is a soft, soft man

Kalego: Alright get in the back you fuck.

Hawks: Excuse me—?

Kalego: Shut up the only reason you’re here is because Shichirou begged.

[elder haven]

Fair

Hawks: Aizawa….but more emo.

Kalego: Leave me alone-

Hawks: Ah still a tsundere.

Balam: Trying not to laugh

Hawks: Well, at least you didn’t marry a screaming banana.

Balam: Chokes

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

Psycho cockatoo

Please hand over

[elder haven]

Iruma feels threatened

[analog oar]

[crisp harbor]

He cares so much

[analog oar]

[analog oar]

kalego when balam:

[elder haven]

Honestly yes

[analog oar]

me when balam:

[elder haven]

Also I think my friend is going to try and send me to a mental hospital

[crisp harbor]

Me when Balam:

[elder haven]

I just told her ‘I want Balam to kidnap me’ and now she’s telling me to get help

She can’t judge me

She hasn’t even seen Balam yet

[analog oar]

lol my friends don't watch iruma
and i don't act crazy about balam when im arounf them
but i did screamed when balam finially showed up after so long in the manga and they looked at me weird (i just hanging out eith them on that day lol)

[crisp harbor]

It's not kidnapping if it's with consent

[analog oar]

he just take me in

please

[elder haven]

I’m getting her to simp for Kalego

[analog oar]

lol

[elder haven]

Maybe I can get her to simp for Balam

[elder haven]

I sent her a Kalego edit with Narnia

They hot

[crisp harbor]

*kicks down Balam's prep room door *
So I heard you want to study humans - I volunteer

[analog oar]

lol i tried to get my friend to watch iruma
but she doesn't seem to be interested, since it does look rather similar to bnha

[elder haven]

Btw I got one of my friends to love KaleBalam by just talking about them and showing scenes with them together

[analog oar]

and she dropped bnha

[elder haven]

She’s never seen the anime

or manga

[crisp harbor]

It's not bnha... it's so different from bnha

[analog oar]

i know

[elder haven]

Tell her to check it out before judging

[analog oar]

its very different

[elder haven]

I never really liked comparing Mha and Mairimashita

Yeah you could compare some factors but at the end of the day they’re fundamentally different

Like comparing a fast food restaurant to a convenient store

A weird peeve of mine I guess

[analog oar]

i can see why she think its similar but ultimately its not similar

[elder haven]

Mhm

Yeah you could compare blueberry Deku with broccoli Iruma, and maybe tsundere #1 with tsundere #2

[analog oar]

plus bnha doesn't have balam

[elder haven]

But they’re different

[elder haven]

See? Huge difference already

[analog oar]

exactly

[elder haven]

Also KaleBalam

[crisp harbor]

I know it's unlikely, but I wanna see Balam's parents so bad

[analog oar]

they are so gay

[analog oar]

we saw glimps of them

[crisp harbor]

We got that small taste in 182, but I need more

[elder haven]

And I’m so incredibly straight for them

[analog oar]

mama balam is so pretty

[elder haven]

lol be happy we even saw one parent from Balam

Stares at Kalego

Bro got the Iruma treatment

[analog oar]

we saw both actually

[crisp harbor]

She pretty

[elder haven]

:000

Damn must’ve missed it

[analog oar]

mama balam

[elder haven]

Wait the mom is the one holding Balam right?

[analog oar]

yes

[elder haven]

Omg

[analog oar]

balam probably got his height from papa balam

[elder haven]

Papa Balam has such luscious hair

[analog oar]

fr

[elder haven]

I’m looking at the fucking hair

[analog oar]

and the hair

[crisp harbor]

They both have so much hair

[analog oar]

lol i made the heacanon before about his parents

[elder haven]

I think the dad has bird feet

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

Looks like it at least

[elder haven]

:00

I love gargoyles

[analog oar]

baby balam

[elder haven]

Lil bird cuties

More like harpies but eh

Baby Balam is so cute

[crisp harbor]

Whole family of cuties

[analog oar]

and then we were presented with the prettiest balam panel

that chapter means so much to me

[crisp harbor]

My fav chapter

[elder haven]

He looks so much more feminine in this panel

I can’t explain it

[crisp harbor]

I reread it a lot

[elder haven]

Beautiful

[analog oar]

that's what im saying

pretty wife

[elder haven]

Beautiful wife

Kalego so fucking lucky

[analog oar]

i think it's the boobs and the way he was sat

[elder haven]

Ugh I wanna be angry at the mama bird

But also I cant

He’s so hot with exposed fangs

[analog oar]

THIS TOO

[elder haven]

BBABYYYYYYY

[crisp harbor]

He's such a papa

[analog oar]

wish that was me

[crisp harbor]

Iruma is his babyyyyy

[elder haven]

When Kalego met Balam’s parents i imagine he was so overly formal but also a nervous wreck so he was stuttering out honorifics

Kalego was shaking and sweating the whole nine yards

[analog oar]

he have to wear his mask at such young age too
i feel so bad

[elder haven]

Aaaaa I feel so bad but also for fucks sake his fangs

[crisp harbor]

It was a harsh lesson

[elder haven]

Harsh lesson but he learned it

[analog oar]

i love this panels too

[elder haven]

He’s so cute when he’s blushing like that

[analog oar]

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

Gonna go add to fic-

[analog oar]

[elder haven]

Balam Insecure about his scars right?

Kalego has scars, and they’re on his back which is a weak point for demons
