You Try To Recreate The Savior Of Your Universe But He Comes Out Wrong And Now He's Helming A Genocide.

You try to recreate the savior of your universe but he comes out wrong and now he's helming a genocide. You are forced to stand by while your friends and countless others put themselves in danger trying to fix your mistake. You made him so all of the blood he spills is on your hands. You are fourteen years old.

Club Tropicana by WHAM! and Hotel California by Eagles are opposite ends of the same spectrum and you cannot convince me otherwise. Just vibes, themes and lyrics wise.

What would be in the middle of that spectrum though I wonder.

Just a thought.

Headcanons and other things I like to keep consistent in any interpretations, AUs or otherwise of the ZX/A crew, just for fun:

• For all intents and purposes, Girouette IS Vent and Aile's dad, adoptive or otherwise, no ifs, ands, or buts.

• Girouette is both a master baker and a total prankster.

• Girouette Express actually started out as a cake delivery business, which Giro inherited from his own adoptive father that named it in his honour.

• Vent and Aile are twins. Neither is sure who the oldest actually is, but it's Vent.

• Vent's favourite food is barbeque pork buns, which I took from the manga.

• Aile takes her coffee black but will also indulge in hot chocolate every so often. We're talking very, VERY fancy hot choc.

• Vent is a bonafide fashion disaster when he's not in uniform, and Aile prefers to dress androgynous. The two will often share accessories and jackets. Aile buys hers several sizes too big A: for aesthetic, B: so her tank of a twin can borrow them.

• Sho from the manga inevitably ends up running Girouette Express when the twins are indisposed.

• The source material never actually states that PnP are twins (and believe me I've scoured the ZX/A scripts), but I always treat them as such, with Prometheus as the older twin.

• Prometheus will always, without fail, end up in a death-related job no matter what universe I write him in. This is inspired by his status in canon proper as the Grim Reaper.

• Pandora is naturally glamourous but always puts effort into her appearance. Prometheus is vain as a peacock and unfortunately is NOT naturally glamourous at all.

• Pandora is weirdly perceptive of everyone's emotions but her own. Prometheus sucks at social interactions but doesn't come across that way due to immense vanity and overconfidence.

• Pandora is usually the first of the twins to spike her drinks with some sort of alcohol. Prometheus, bizarrely enough, recognises this to be an unhealthy coping mechanism more than she does and doesn't drink as often. His preference is chilli hot chocolate, she likes matcha lattes.

• Aeolus has some experience in working as a lawyer, no matter what universe I write him in.

• Aeolus is classically trained in ballet and has dabbled in both kendo and iajitsu.

• Aeolus is albino and partially blind.

• Siarnaq is fluent in sign language. Aeolus and Pandora are the only other two Megamen able to have a full conversation with him in it as they are also fluent. The rest are still learing.

• Siarnaq is a terrible, awful cook who will burn his RICE without fail. Bizarrely enough however the only thing he is ANY good at preparing is pufferfish.

• Thetis grew up around religious influences which partly influenced his whole "cleanse the world" pholisophy, and also has a criminal record from being involved in graffiting and protests.

• Thetis loves tacky formalwear and anything with fish on it. I can see an older Thetis wearing fish-patterned ties.

• Atlas is the best cook out of the Big Four as she actually uses spices. Oftentimes, TOO many spices for their tastes, barring Siarnaq. Her spiciness tolerance is very high.

• Partly taken from what I've seen of the ZXA manga, but Grey LOVES his sweets and trying new foods. Ashe has not helped in this as what she drinks can barely even be considered coffee given the amount of syrups she puts in it.

• Ashe is a FANTASTIC dancer. Vent dances like a dad at a disco. Both are inevitably the first to join in if something like the Macarena or Nutbush are played. (Great, now I want to animate them doing the Nutbush.)

Any other headcanons I give away will spoil some very minor plot points of FTGFTF, but spoil them nonetheless, haha.

Feel free to reblog and add what you like to keep consistent about these characters!! Curious to see how interpretations differ :)

It's stupid o'clock where I am and I was seized by the urge to doodle - the result was Prometheus, completely unsurprisingly.

I also just realised I've never actually posted a sketch of him that I've done on here with his helmet on/fully merged.

Progress pics under the cut because I REALLY like how his face came out before I had to wreck it with the helmet :')

The first thing I do whenever I draw any of these guys is to draw their faces fully so I know ROUGHLY how their helmets sit:

I really love the idea that Prom is an edgy dramatic theatre kid at heart and absolutely owns so much damn eyeliner. It looked so much sharper in the sketch, RIP.

Anyways, this is then followed by tracing the helmet roughly on top:

And then outlining it, as pictured below minus colour:

Additionally, with Prometheus I've got a very specific rule whenever I draw him regarding his smile. He's naturally got a crooked smile but when being threatening, not so much:

Anyways, that's how I tend to draw Prometheus :)

Hi. Behold my kids

Man, listening to Dio always feels like coming back to an old friend; a reminder of times that were better and a reminder that they can get better.

Honestly it's weird for me - his music and voice is like a big warm hug but it's also bittersweet for that same reason, so I find myself smiling and laughing through tears.

Especially on an old mixed tape I got from an op-shop; Hungry For Heaven was the last song on that tape, so getting to it was always like a bit of a treat.
