» UM LUGAR PARA VOLTAR — capa pessoal

⟅07.04.2024 — eu achei a minha primeira capa desse casal muito xoxa para o tanto que eu amo eles ENTÃO eu fui lá e fiz uma outra que creio que minhas vozes da cabeça não vão me sabotar :) eu estou totalmente apaixonado por capas mais terrosas que faço normalmente, não sei se repararam mas eu estou impossível, eu tenho alguma coisa com essa cor gente, ela me deixa tão tão mais motivado pra capar que cês não tem ideia <3 eu queria alguma coisa que me remetesse a algo muito distante e a cartas, acho que fiz um dos fundos mais lindos da minha carreira de capista com essa capa, eu acredito que nunca mais vou fazer um fundo tão lindo quanto esse e eu não to bem :'D muito dos recursos que usei foram do Pinterest com as dicas do @shibuinni3 nesse post aqui ☆ (muito obrigado, chuchu). Sobre a capa, o que dizer? Ela é fruto de um surto de domingo à tarde, as minhas capas mais bonitas nasceram assim e com essa não é diferente, eu amei cada segundo :3

⟅13.02.2024 — assim, talvez, muito muito muito provavelmente eu tava MORRENDO de vontade de editar com eles (pra quem não reparou, é o ship que me fez voltar a editar de novo: os meus bebês queridos, Yullen <3) e assim, passei três horas pra editar essa capa ( fora todos os perrengues de energia que tive, que nao foram poucos) e o tanto que amei ela não tem como escrever (por mais que tenha odiado ela no começo, confesso). Yullen é um dos meus casais mais amados de dgm, isso ou talvez seja a minha dependência emocional nos dois por me identificar demais :) e eu demorei tanto pra editar com eles de novo, como eu deixei de fazer o que mais amo na minha vida de capista? :') agora uma pergunta: o que raios é essa capa?? Ela é uma capa mesclada que eu não entendi exatamente onde se enquadra... Mas enfim, fiz a capa com meu casal e ta ótimo. té mais.

» SWEAR TO GOD — capa teste

⟅24.10.2023 — estou tentando fugir um pouco do óbvio e eu amei essa capa em proporções que nem sei como explicar, antes que esqueça, fiz ela com base na música do mesmo nome do título de Blackbear (ela é toda baseada na música? Não mas acho que esse título casa bem com o anime e o personagem então vai ficar assim mesmo). Infelizmente estou fazendo capas como um louco com plots muito elaborados mas estou sem tempo para escrever, triste a vida do trabalhador :') acho que oficialmente é minha primeira capa vermelha em muitos meses e ser do meu manga favorito me deixa tão triste, vou chorar até a próxima atualização :'D

» SE NÃO FOSSE TÃO TARDE — capa teste

⟅22.10.2023 — O que é isso? Uma capa hétero? Já estou sentindo todos os ideais heteronormativos invadindo cada célula do meu ser gay viado colorido (ToT) piadas a parte, a humilhação que a gente passa né mores kkkk eu sinto que exagerei nessa capa mas eu não to nem ai pq eu gostei da capa mas não gostei da finalização, um ódio só e pior que não lembro de metade das coisas que fiz nessa capa, ou seja, se eu refazer ela é muito provável que não fique do mesmo jeito. O que me resta? Aceitar pq eu sou uma galinha medrosa :D

» A VIDA É UM BARCO DE PAPEL — capa teste

⟅19.10.2023 — amo fazer capa romântica e amo mais ainda fazer ela sem um casal aparente (apesar de que no meu coração é com o Allen pq eu não tenho juízo e foi o primeiro shipp que tive de dgm, não sei, acho que não bato bem). Me inspirei em um poema fazendo essa capa, de Vinicius de Moraes, tenho um carinho por ela e acho que amarelo combina com o sentimento que o poema traz, ou talvez seja vozes da minha cabeça. Eu ia colocar o poema aqui mas sem condições, nunca vi nada mais difícil.

» ANDARILHO — capa teste

⟅08.10.2023 — estou muito preocupado pq estou com muita dificuldade para achar mais imagens de dgm, vou ter que reler e sofrer tudo de novo? E sim, é mais uma de dgm pq olha só, eu estou com saudade dessa obra magnífica e preciso de razões para continuar existindo. Falando da capa em si, eu fiz muitos testes dessa capa, tipo MUITOS mesmo e não ta tudo bem, passei mais de três dias com essa ideia e nada de sair do papel. Isso significa que gostei da capa? Não também, mas eu já cansei então vai ser essa mesma, estou cansado.

» SEU SORRISO É O CÉU — capa teste

⟅03.10.2023 — impressionante que amo fazer capa com esses dois mas nem shipo tanto como o prota com o outro lá. vou começar a reler a obra de novo e baixar mais imagens para alimentar os esquecidos no churrasco, pq se não depender de mim, ninguém faz (é rir pra não ter que voltar pra terapia, e nem é meme, que sofrimento). minhas considerações sobre a capa é que eu amei a capa mas sinto que exagerei na iluminação, infelizmente eu gostei assim então vai ficar desse jeito e é sobre isso.

» PARADISE COMPANY — capa teste

⟅28.09.2023 — como um artista tabajara que sou é óbvio que ia colocar minha frustração em alguma coisa e optei por fazer uma capa que transmitisse o que eu estou sentindo nesse momento. sinto que com o plot dessa capa da pra fazer uma fanfic bem comprida então vai ser jogada para escanteio mesmo. p.s.: essa é uma das minhas capas favoritas, nem acredito que fiz ela em um dia e sem esforço nenhum, ela simplesmente nasceu.

» CONTRASTE — capa teste

⟅28.09.2023 — voltando para minha saga de capinhas do meu manga favorito, acho que posso dizer que amo o protagonista agora né? me identifico tanto com ele, pode se dizer que seja principalmente no azar, pq oh vida para dar em nós! e espero passar por todas essas coisas como ele faz.

» ONE SECOND — capa teste

⟅28.09.2023 — na moral, nunca vi uma capa de fanfic nesse estilo com meu anime/mangá favorito, é daí que começa a crise existencial. Eu sinto muita saudade de quando DGM tinha um cisco de visibilidade, tem horas que penso que é só eu e quem traduz essa coisa que conhece essa obra, então vou postar umas capinhas para me sentir menos triste :D p.s.: essa capa ta pronta há tanto tempo mas tenho preguiça de postar então eu só modifiquei coisas mínimas para me iludir mesmo.

Hey, everybody!

This is a drawing by one of my favorite artists, Matis! She has a pixiv account full of amazing works, particularly D.Gray-man (mostly Alma, but she has some other stuff, too), so I think you guys should go check out her page ~

Her fan art of Senyu. also convinced me to start reading that, and now it’s one of my favorite manga.

But her drawings are great so you should go support her~

(P.S. she’s really nice and gave me permission to share this C: )

been down with a fever and down under the weather for a little bit. so i had little to no energy and whipped this up in a couple of minutes for monthly nea.♥ i've been reading witch hat atelier so have younger nea with a brushbuddy.

who are you now

"there isn't anyone who doesn't feel regret or sadness.” — lavi

Sometimes I think about Allen’s habit of making terrible horrible deals with the devil, not asking any of the terms… but also they always come at very vulnerable times.

the first time, he’s dying and all of his comrades have been wiped out. The second, the only person in the world he loves and who loved him has just died (and he’s like 10, max). The third time, he’s just found out that his whole life’s a lie and he’s probably a construct—though to be fair, he was kind of given the terms on that one.

but I guess that is sometimes a characteristic of deals with the devil is that they come when desperate

I might make a more in depth post about this later, but there’s something about Allen and Mana’s ways of grieving that stick out to me. They’re so similar, but I think there’s one key difference:

Mana forgets, Allen doesn’t.

When confronted with guilt over hurting a loved one (regardless of circumstances) and the grief of losing them, Mana couldn’t stand to look at himself to the point he literally changed his own face. He spent years searching for the very brother he killed. He hated himself so much he became someone else (Adam). It wasn’t it his fault (Adam’s), it was his fault (Mana’s)

Allen is similar, but ends up swinging in the opposite direction. When he’s at his lowest, he couldn’t cope with it either, becoming catatonic (is that the right word?). After he comes out of that state, it’s because he needs to keep a promise that he (Allen) made to Mana. And like Mana he’s acting like a different person! But he’s still Allen and he carries the guilt of turning Mana into an Akuma directly. He can’t change his face. Everything about his appearance is a constant reminder. It was his fault, and he’s going to spend everyday atoning for it.

Mana, holding some clown gear: And one day, I’ll pass these down to you!

Allen, enthusiastically: Just like your mental illness?

Mana, equally enthusiastic: Yep, just like my mental illness!

my desperate craving for d gray man content has become near unbearable, so it may be time for me to take matters into my own hands. that being said. I have no idea what to write about.

so if anyone sees this and has any suggestions or prompt ideas, please let me know!

that being said, I’m not the biggest fan of modern no power aus (unless they’re funny enough). But I do welcome crossover ideas!

Allen: The enemy of my enemy is my friend? No, the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy.

Allen: They are fighting over who gets to kill me, though. So it does give me time to escape.

I enjoy this so very much because I’ve already been making jokes that Allen is somehow his own father in such a convoluted way.

Like his adoptive father is Mana, whose brother is Nea. Nea is possessing Allen, thus inhabiting the same body and making it not only his, but also his uncles body; you might think this is where it ends. But Mana and Nea are two halves of the same individual. So Allen is possessed by half of his adoptive father’s soul. Thus he is his own father.

If I integrate this new, fresh theory, I can now joke that Allen is both his own biological and adoptive father.

If past!Allen and past!Lavi got orbed to make Allen, does that make them Allen's biological parents? Since Bookman is past!Lavi's father, does that make him Allen's grandfather?

Allen, on the verge of death again: I’m tired of this Crowned Clown

Crowned Clown: That’s too damn bad! You keep going!

with the knowledge that innocence is an parasitic entity that basically eats misery, I want someone to know that I think of Crowned Clown refusing to let Allen be killed/die or be separated as a kid throwing a tantrum because someone took away their candy.

like Apocryphos is desperately trying to get this piece of candy away because “it’s not good for you!” and Crowned Crown is kicking screaming crying about losing this food.

everyone (but especially Cross and Mother) watching Allen Walker

I love Link and Allen (the parallels between their relationships with their father figures are great too!), but I have to say, I was kinda with Kanda in the whole “don’t take him with you, he’s going to betray you.” Like, I understand Link’s reasons and I’m not mad at him.

but at the same time, when Allen agreed wholeheartedly to take Link along, I was just thinking “girl stand up”

I think if Allen makes it out of this alive and sanity intact, he’s gonna have a rock solid sense of identity. Fuck an identity crisis after all that nonsense. If I went through that, you can bet your ass I would be unshakable in who I am. I may not know exactly who I am, but this is it. Fuck you, this identity was made for me and by me. Yes it’s comprised of multiple others and manipulated for nefarious purposes, but it’s what we’re rocking with. Mind your own business.

if the Noahs’ reincarnation was given to them via salesman

are you worried about dying young? generally disgusted by humans or sex? feeling a deep distaste for humanity, and an even deeper regret you won’t be able to inflict generational trauma on your non-existent children?

well if so, there’s great news! with “reincarnating into an already living person,” you can inflict all your worst memories to the next generation without all that reproduction and childrearing nonsense! All for the low low price of dying!

me, starting d gray man and seeing Allen: what a nice, polite young man :)

me, seeing Allen gamble: what a… nice?… polite young man :)

me, seeing Allen get into arguments and fight with Kanda and Cross: what a… nice?… polite?… young man :)

me, finding out more about the 14th situation: what a… nice?… polite?… young?… man :)

personally, I’m not the biggest fan of modern aus (the more distance from real life the better lmao), but in particular the significant traumas of the characters don’t always translate well (which… maybe the point actually). But seeing how the author does is always interesting! that said, here’s how the closest I can think of for a dgm modern au:

Allen: if you cut out the whole past self and possession situation, up until the Order, it’s pretty one to one. As a child, he had a limb difference and was trafficked. He met Mana and Allen the dog, the dog died, the place he was trafficked to burns(? maybe attacked and he was spared out of pity?) Due to the trauma of the incident, Mana gets worse, thinks Allen is Allen the dog and then they live on the streets until Mana’s death. Occasionally Mana mistakes him for Nea to keep that aspect of the trauma. Allen is attacked shortly after, survives, and is eventually taken in by Cross (and his debts). He gets a few stalkers or already has them and finds out later.

Lenalee: once again, the fighting is a bit tricky for a plain old modern au, but I can make some things work! After her parents died in an attack, she was adopted out of China into England to an abusive family. Eventually Komui was able to get custody of her… I’m unsure/doubtful he would actually be able to do this with the systems in place, so maybe foster care would work better?

Kanda: A cult??? I guess? And Alma died setting a fire maybe? Unless you want unethical government experiments in your modern au!

Lavi: … I don’t know about this one. A very emotionally distant family that shamed any expression of emotion or connection as weakness? But it doesn’t have quite the same implications, I think.

Miranda: Pretty easy! She’s still miserable and can’t keep a job. Poor Miranda.

Alistar: A bigoted, isolated small town? Very tough on this one. Maybe such a small town that superstition still runs strong and he was run out of town during a series of disappearances (actually caused by his girlfriend, Eliade).

Timothy: Pretty much the same. Abusive father who was eventually jailed for thieving, the orphanage where he lived had money trouble and he started stealing himself. Not sure where the trauma from the orphanage being attacked could fit in.

Mana: A crime family/mafia?? His brother (for reasons we aren’t sure of yet) went on a rampage and managed to take out most of the family, forcing Mana to kill him.

Link: he and his siblings/friends from the streets are adopted by a corrupt government official.
