Alright! Listen Up! Me And @still-beyblade-obsessed Have Been Having A Spiritually Deep Conversation

Alright! Listen up! me and @still-beyblade-obsessed​ have been having a spiritually deep conversation about one Tala Ivanov and we’ve got some theories! 

Was Tala just biologically enhanced OR was he actually a clone and the real Tala is maybe dead? 

In the US version it says: Hard-wired cranial saturation, muscle hyper-strengthening. (Hard-wired cranial saturation? That could mean literally anything!) The ‘Borg incubator’ (the tube) “amplifies his training on a nano level” that literally could mean clone?? 

Making Tala an actual clone adds so much more depth to his character…it adds to the creepy factor that is Neo-Borg and gives the whole operation way more purpose, creating super soldiers? Why not take it to the next level? 

Clone the fuckers The cloning, in the sub they say that Rasputin created Black Dranzer (hey the man apparently had a horse dick and some interesting hobbies) but they don’t talk about it in the English version and SBO always figured they used Dranzer’s DNA (Dranzer’s ‘DNA’ being the reason Kai was so drawn to Black Dranzer) to make a dark counterpart - they would’ve had access to Original Dranzer if Kai had been enrolled as a child, or just via Boris’s connection to Voltaire. 

So if they could do that, they could totally do the same with Tala…say after an accident maybe? 

 So our little guy might just have been pushed too far during training and/or experimentation and sadly died and instead of cutting their losses with a clearly talented individual they take it to the next level, and just steal his DNA and continue with their plans but now with a clone who has been programmed to blindly follow orders.

Also here, have a rough WIP of Hogwarts Au that I never finished in thanks for your time. 

so if there’s one single trope i’m always down to fight it’s the animal bride (folklore motif 402??) which a lot of you are probably familiar with as the selkie - the fisherman either falls in love, steals her skin to trap her on land/gain power over her, or they fall in love and THEN he steals her skin to keep her from leaving, and either way she spends a lot of time gazing sadly out to sea and then she or her child finds the skin and never returns again. and that’s awful on a whole lot of levels - it’s not love, it’s control.

BUT. but the thing is. you how selkies/seal women was a pretty common variation of this? another really popular one was swans.

i just want you to think about that for a moment. swans. like…I get it, they’re pretty, graceful birds, certainly it’s easy to imagine them magically becoming pretty graceful ladies? but have you ever fought a swan. swans are awful. swans are the devil’s geese. imagine seeing a pretty magic lady and being absolutely enchanted by her, and stealing her magic feather cloak, and then you go up and say ‘hey i’m in love with you, let me make you my queen, it will be great, we’ll be so happy’ and she just looks at you for a moment and…

you know i was going to say maybe she just shouts for her sisters and suddenly you’re realizing you’ve made a terrible terrible mistake bc you’re surrounded by big fucking birds who are all hissing. but honestly if this swan lady is as aggressively down to brawl as any other generally unhappy swan, then she’d straight up fuck you up on her own. she’d just deck you roundhouse, honestly. you don’t fuck with swans. why does this trope exist

I’m in a strange mood…

CHOOSE YOUR TEAM

Imagine being in the MFB universe, like 90% of the kids/teens of this World you possess a bey of your own that you carry on you everyday and everywhere. You just can’t leave your house without your bey. This bey is not only a piece of plastic and metal, it is a part of you.

I’ve seen several characters in the show having their bey container at different places on them.

➤The most common place for bladers to keep their bey is on their belt, on their waist/hips. They mainly keep their bey on the back of their body or on the sides, but I’ve never seen a blader having it on the front.

#TEAM_BELT

➤Otherwise there are bladers that carry their bey on the arm, like Tsubasa.

#TEAM_BICEPS

➤Another alternative that also involves the arm is on the forearm/wrist, like Ryuga.

#TEAM_FOREARM

➤Less intuitive place to carry the bey in on a (highly secured) briefcase, like Julian seems to do. It’s not directly on the blader’s body but this is another possibility and actually not the stupidest one.

#TEAM_BRIEFCASE

➤Even less intuitive than the briefcase, some bladers appear to carry their bey on their chest (Chris), like policeman do with their gun.

#TEAM_CHEST 

➤Finally, the last case I’ve came across is to keep your bey in a hidden pocket or something like that in your sleeve.

#TEAM_SLEEVE

Of all characters, it could only be Yu doing this kind of stuff.

So the question is :

╭                                                                     　　　╮

⁂ Where would YOU keep your bey? ⁂

╰ 　　　                                                         　　 ╯

On which team are you in?

If you have an idea different from the ones mentioned above, create your own team!

Personally, I’ve always wondered how bladers that have their stuff on their belt manage to properly sit down, must be so uncomfortable to feel the bey container and the launcher sinking in your skin and bones each time you want your back to lean on a chair’s backrest.

To keep my bey where Tsubasa keep his would made me anxious, his bey is so easily accessible, within everybody’s reach. I would be too scared to have someone trying to steal it.

For Ryuga his metal arm thingy is quite cool but having something there to contain one’s bey must be extremely inconvenient. Look I wear a watch and even if I’m careful I always end up but hitting it against furniture. If the same happens with a bey holder, I would break it in no time. So the forearm isn’t a good idea for me.

I think I’d rather have my bey container on my chest just like Chris. I think it is the most safe and handy place to have a bey. Safe because you have it close to you, you can hide it under piece of clothes and it’s a place not easily reachable for other people. Whereas it’s easy for YOU and YOU only to grab your bey. And you can still sit down without any problem.

My second option would be the briefcase I guess. I’m the kind of person to keep things I deeply care about in special containers and treat them as if they were the most precious treasure of the universe. But considering that the bey is the most precious thing in the MFB universe I would probably lock the briefcase as heavily as a bank strongbox and cuff my hand with the handle.
