Only My Shitty Thoughts - Tumblr Posts
Lately I've kind of been in the mode of rewatching old anime series that I've seen before.
Actually, I was actually watching FMAB, another masterpiece by Arakawa.
I think for those of you who know this anime/manga and the heroic legend of Arslan by Hiromu Arakawa, we can't help but notice the similarity between Roy Mustang and Shapur. (Not that I'm complaining about that XD )
However, a thought occurred to me. Roy Mustang is also in the military and is a commander, as is Shapur. Both seem to have some similarities in character or similarities.
However, we all know that Roy Mustang has a big weakness...... good looking ladies in short skirts -.-
What is not necessarily supposed to speak as his strength and for him is always worth a laugh for us (or for me) when he gets a rebuff or fails with his idea that the military should introduce miniskirts for women.
Apart from that I asked myself the question......what if Shapur also has a small but subtle weakness? That can make an outsider smile ;)
I mean, I did mention that in a modern setting, I imagine him as having a weakness for sweets, and even though he tries to eat less, he can't get over it.
Or what if he secretly actually likes to play tricks on one or the other?
And no one knows who did it because he always does it in secret?
I don't think he has a thing for ladies in short skirts xD though personally, I would only like this character more if he somehow, somewhere had a little weakness that made you roll your eyes in amusement.
(You know what I mean xD)
Now I know who planted the thought of Shapur being a sweet thooth in my mind 😂
Thank you for this @innerchorus
Oh yes the headcanon that he didn’t drink much alcohol because
He is a lightweight and he would definitely make stupid things that he regrets later.
Also I think that at some point Kubard would be curious how much he can handel and so he make a „how much drinks did Shapur have“ Scale.
So every mug he is drinking is one personality.
For example
One mug Shapur is quite the same
Two mug Shapur will become more open and kind of communicative
Three mug Shapur will get a bit flirty
Four mug Shapur will get whiney
Kubard dream about to complete the scale and find out what is ten mug of beer/whine Shapur
😂😂😂

and while we're at it. I've always wondered what Shapur's coat of arms symbolizes. when I first saw it I kind of thought of a lily but then I kind of thought that lilies are always represented differently on a coat of arms and then dismissed the idea.
then I thought it might represent a rose. but when I did some research I found out that especially in the Middle Ages and on coats of arms the rose was always depicted with five petals.
It was thus modeled on the wild rose. Unfortunately, Shapur's crest only has four "petals" (if it is meant to represent a flower at all).
But then I realized that Persian wild roses look completely different from the roses that are usually known. It originally comes from the Orient. This rose grows there in nature in steppe-like areas of Iran and surrounding countries.
The red center spot of its sun-yellow flowers is particularly striking in this type of rose. They are more reminiscent of a hibiscus flower.
To be honest I don't know exactly which flower is depicted on Shapur's coat of arms (I don't quite understand the 8 in the coat of arms either. Maybe someone has a theory).
in any case, I have not found anything closer to the meaning of the Persian rose. probably it is identical to the meaning of the well-known rose and that would be love.
However, I then found out that the hibiscus does not only grow in Hawaii but also in China
it is particularly at home in Asia and is also found in parts of North Africa.
Anyway, I thought that geographically it wouldn't be a big deal and Pars also borders on Sindurah and Turk and Turan and Shapur's country could possibly be in the Turan/Turk border area. so wouldn't it be so crazy to think that a hibiscus flower can also grow in Pars.
In addition, in some cultures, the hibiscus represents family (I firmly believe that Shapur family is very important). in China the flower stands for glory and in Hawaii it stands for splendor and symbolizes something royal (which I think would fit since the second king of the Sassadin and founder of the New Persian Empire was Shapur I.
so crazy and thinking around ten corners.
I just wanted to get my mind off my head as Sam's crest just popped up here and my mind was just racing through my mind.
Don’t know if all of this makes sense but feel free to discuss this.

Here's Sam's crest. (These are actually all still posted here on the official site for the anime.) The design feels appropriate for the Marzban renowned for skill in castle defence, as it reminds me of both a shield and a closed door/gate. At some point I'll try to do some research into what the botanical element could be and whether that might mean something, too.
Ok so actually I am on vacation and today I did a wonderful hikingtrip through a forest and up to a little mountain village.
And after a while I was thinking that Isfan would totally like such trips and I was imagen whole nice it would be to go on a hiking trip with Isfan and his little wolf puppies. Because I think that Isfan would totally be a good partner for such a trip and I would absolutely like his company. He would totally know a lot about flowers, trees, animals etc. and could tell a lot about it.
And because I am from the small size and I picture Isfan as a tall guy ( so taller as his brother and I think Shapur is about 5,90 feet when I rember the character charta right) he would totally make bit fun of me when I struggle to climb about something and my arm lr lwg would be to short to reach the other side/rock/tree etc (like my sister and cousins) and he would be like „come on little dwarf you can do it“ with a wide grin on his face and in the end he would lend me a helping hand, when he sees I struggle too much.
So yes I would absolutely like to hike with Isfan on a big sister/little brother or good friend base. And I would love it.
