Captains Basic Adventure In A Broken Underwater Ship - Tumblr Posts
I’m thinking of editing some articles from the Le Billypedia wiki… I admit though, I’m going to miss the broken english haha.
Left is old, Right is new. If the people don’t like I can reverse the changes and bring back the broken english.
Did one of those “tell me what to draw” challenges except with BBIEAL games. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Man tevis pietrūkst…
My well-made english project that I made in 24 hours. If you want the Text Transcript/want to Google Translate it, here’s a Google Doc.
Edit:
My other English project…
I recieved my first ever Twitter gift art!
Thought it was only fair that I give something back in return… So I decided to participate in her DTIYs prompt :) I decided to give Amy a 1950s-style outfit, since that’s the time period that CBA takes place in. This was fun to do…

Billy’s Uncle and Billy’s Girlfriend, I need to get around to drawing more of Billy’s loved ones Billter knew what he was doing when he made those designs and I am eating it up. Yeah I gave Billy’s girlfriend dwarfism (is it obvious I don’t know how to draw midgets). Which might seem strange BUT ALSO, she is so short in-game, I had to make her taller in the drawings.
Also! The Captain Gonzalo side-view was supposed to be a re-draw of Ebigeso’s drawing :) So credit to her for the inspiration, please check her out she’s very cool and is the reason why I’m into BBEG so much.
(I’m trying out a different writing style for Tumblr posts, longer text descriptions since there’s no word limit (unlike Twitter). And since there’s no word limit I might as well use it to my advantage? Hope you guys enjoy the more wordy & ramble-filled format!)
Senchou/Сенчю (船長) - Captain, formal/title of occupation
Kyaputen/Кяпутен (キャプテン) - Captain, informal/friendly nickname
Bob would probably be closer to Gonzalo than all the other crewmates, because… Main character syndrome idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Remember this image? That one image? From the big english project?
Yeah so like… Give me a minute…
Keep going… keep going… keep going
keep going… KEEP GOING
Bob the Great: This is the great ship!
Billy: You built this by yourself?
Bob the Great: No no, haha, I had help of course
Billy: Is it well-made?
Bob the Great: Of course it is, you can make anything great if it’s made with passion and care
Family Photo! I want to make a drawing in the style of a visual novel one day…
Hi, sneakpeak for my next comic that I will actually finish and not abandon.
I did concept art for what the afterlife would look like (headcanon). And fittingly enough, I think it took a couple years off of my life. I also snuck in some dead people ;þ Real Alex hanging out at the swingset; Captain Gonzalo and Bob the Great II sitting under a cherry tree together; Lady of the Blossoms taking post at the sakura gazebo. Also tested some filters for mood lighting, in case I want to lean into the dreamy heaven or hellish nightmare feel that is the ETT afterlife.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like my ideas _(:3 」∠)_ also maybe a little too real… The lights in my house keep changing colour.

i wonder if you please have me suggestions on what the bbau teachers should be what kind of youkai, if possible. i'm on art block😅
(p.s. i'm still learning japanese folklore btw)
I have a couple ideas! Hope they help you ^_^
〔Short Answer〕
Gonzalo & Faklex - Yurei (幽霊)
Faklex - Amanojoku (天邪鬼)
Viktor - Oni (鬼)
Tiara & Billy - Hannya
Billy’s Son - Chopiraku (チョウピラコ)
〔Long Answer〕
Yurei (幽霊) is a sub-type of yokai that are ghosts with unfinished business. All humans have a spirit, otherwise known as reikon, if given a proper funeral the reikon will join its’ ancestors in the afterlife. The ascended reikon will also protect its’ living family and the future generations. However if instead they are killed suddenly or hold ill feelings, the reikon will turn into a yurei and they will haunt the living until their unfinished deed or ill feelings are resolved. The more suffering a human experiences, the more powerful they will be as a Yurei.
There is a sub-type of Yurei that died at sea called “Funayurei (船幽霊).” They died at sea and they will forever haunt the sea. Funayurei have a unique fish-like appearance, basically mermaids. As their name says, “Boat Spirit,” they haunt the seas and cannot leave the seas. They fill boats with water to shipwreck and kill the passengers.
I think Gonzalo fits for this sub-type since he died at sea abruptly and probably with strong ill feelings since this was during the war. It’s also quite tragically fitting, the imagery of a reikon protecting its’ family being paralleled with a soldier protecting his country. But because of his ill feelings, this protection was more violent than defensive.
There is another sub-type of yurei that dies on land called, “Jibakurei (地縛霊).” As the name suggest “Earth-bound Spirits,” these are spirits that died abrupt deaths on land. They don’t have a unique appearance and could just be undead versions of the living person. They do not serve a specific purpose, only tied to a location or event.
The way Realex’s body is treated in the school by Faklex already makes it feel like he’s haunting the place~ Hidden away in a secret room with no door, and if Olivia finds she’ll receive a knife that she can use to, supposedly, kill Faklex or herself. Taking out the living the same way you died? Sounds similar to the Funayurei~ But that is pure coincindence, the Jibakurei is simply there to serve as a reminder of a tragedy. And Alex does that just fine, his corpse forever stuck in a cruel immortalisation of his suicide.
Speaking of Alex, what about our beloathed Faklex? Next is the Amanojaku (天邪鬼)! Amanojaku is a demon that encourages humans to do evil deeds. One infamous story is when Melon Princess was killed and then skinned by an Amanojaku. After eating her corpse, the Amanojaku was seen wearing her skin and impersonating her.
Sound familiar?~ I have a headcanon that the way Faklex steals bodies is by driving his victims to suicide, it would explain Alex’s death and the secret Olivia ending — or suicides are easy food, no need to kill if they’re already dead. Even though Amanojaku’s are focused on persuading people to commit sin, the Melon Princess story was too good to pass up. And besides, Alex is doing a great job being a bad influence on Scrina, Asmodena and Candice/Candy, forcing them to clean up and commit his murders.
Oni (鬼) are aggressive cannibal demons. They live in caves and disguise themselves as humans, they kill and eat them. They have a unique way of eating humans in one bite. Nowadays though they can be domesticated by being given offerings, in return they guard homes from intruders. They also give good fortune and wealth. The Oni mask is used to scare away disobedient children or discpline kids into becoming obedient.
The duality of an aggressive killer of human and a dilligent defender of humans reminded me of Viktor :) there is also a trope of modern Oni being troublesome and comedic, which is fitting for his cursed vr normal personality. When he is cursed he uses his human teacher disguise to befriend Angell, then hunts her down for even small mistakes. But when he’s normal he’s a jokester, but is very serious with making sure Angell survives and is able to escape or fix Infinity School.
Another member from the Infinity School is Tiara! Hannya (般若) is a sub-type of Oni. This demon was a human who was hurt deeply by her lover. Driven mad by her jealousy and pain, her spirit left her while she was alive and she turned into a demon. She now plays her revenge by targetting cruel men. Hannya mask represents destructive passion, in the shadows it either looks like it’s ugly crying or snarling angrily. Similar to Oni, the modern Hannya is much kinder. She brings protection and either good fortune or revenge.
I think Tiara would be the sub-sub-type Hanya Chunari (般若中成), this is the most powerful Hannya. Her body is still human but her face is fully transformed with a demon, with large horns. But she is not full-transformed, so it’s possible to save her with Buddhist prayers. This sub-sub-type allows Tiara to keep her opera mask and have her shadowey tarwill body be refrenced in the Hannya Chunari’s strong dark magic.
The fully-transformed sub-sub-type is Hanyang Honnari (般若本成)/Kiyo Hime (清姫), which is similar to Chunari exceot the body is now a serpent/dragon. She is found lurking manily in the ocean, unlike her other Hanya sub-sub-types. Since Honnari is fully-transformed there’s no hope of saving her, she is permanently a demon. There is a story where a monk manipulates a lady using her love for him, then makes a false promise that he will return home after a boating trip. When the lady found out he was lying the whole time, she was heartbroken and chased him to the docks. The monk left on a boat but the lady swam through the ocean, eventually emerging out the water as a Kiyo Hime and killing him.
There are two reasons I think Billy fits this: 1.) It’s a parallel to his family dying in the ocean during the war; 2.) The Monk x Lady story parallels Bob never returning home from the expedition, abandonment issues; 3.) His girlfriend is a deadbeat wife and mom. This is headcanon since there’s no official reason why Billy’s girlfriend/old friend is missing or replaced by a robot, maybe she died in child birth or Billy killed her! Idk! — After his girlfriend left him to raise his son alone, Billy was filled with alot of grief. Grief strong enough for him to build a robot in her image. And maybe grief strong enough to corrupt him into a Hannya? His only tie left to humanity — or artificial humanity — now being his son… But even that is gone too because-
Chopiraku (チョウピラコ) is a sub-type of Zashiki Warashi (座敷童子). It is the spirit of a child who was given a lavish funeral and shrine filled with offerings and their favourite toys and candies. Because of this they are much more difficult to take care of than Zashiki, but unlike Zahiki they give blessing of good fortune and wealth.
In BBEG:11YL we don’t see Billy’s Son again, I headcanon’d that it was because Son grew disillusioned with Billy’s obssesion of being “well-made” that he decided to leave and live his own life. But it’s also possible that perhaps Son died, which intensified Billy’s grief even more. And so all that remains is the spirit of a happy child stuck in the past, just like his father.
According to Billy his father and uncle were very good friends and nothing more. As you can see in this image below, this is the peak of male bonding.
This is a common question, to avoid future problems here is the answer: There is no official relationship between Gonzalo and Billy.
Because of this, we must rely on personal interpretation. Refer to this chart ↑ (My interpretation is marked in green ;þ)

Thank you to everyone who participated in my two different events! Here is the finished pieces ^3^ I had alot of fun. I want to try to include more Tumblr suggestions since only 2/13 chr. are from Tumblr — “Wait?! But there’s only 12 chr. here?” That’s correct, I had to move Igor to another canvas so that it’d be even, he will appear in my next event. I will take a rest now.
If you want to use these as icons, go ahead! Remember to credit me.
