"The hands keep a hold on me."
AIDJZIFNEI LISTEN,,
I love this piece. There is so much lore hidden in it and it just looks fire in general đđ€ (eheh fire get it--)
The lore in question ties to the colored hands đïžđïž
The red hands around her neck is her storm flames, and her want to lash back at the world in anger for her life but her words keep getting stuck in her throat and she can't protect herself.
The purple ones are her cloud flames reminding her she can't claim anything as hers because everything gets taken away from her, and she has to live while knowing it can all be taken away at any moment.
And the indigo ones are for her mist flames keeping her mind occupied to ignore how bad everything gets, constantly living in her head and creating illusions to bring herself a bit of joy when she sleeps.
She's my little fucked up babygirl and I love her I swear đ«¶
Also been trying to write down her existential crisis, it's going well ! She has no idea who she is anymore đ
I DID IT.
I ANIMATED SOMETHING FROM SCRATCH WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS.
LOOK AT THEM.
Also it's angst (kinda)
Also do yall want the siblings' lore at some point ? Bc I have so many AUs I don't even know what to keep as canon đđ
This felt so illegal to finish but uhhhhh
Official artstyle Kyoka art for u ?
I do not know how I feel about this actually, just that those eyes are the prettiest I've ever drawn I think,,
The only AU of an AU where the Novana and Kyoka exist together đđ
To be more precise, it's a divergence of the Varia AU where the Novana exists, and since Kyoka basically adopted Squalo as a dad (no he didn't consent but he didn't have a choice â€ïžđ«¶), Veronna became her mom lmao
She becomes the best and most crazy big sister (along with Bel) to Morgie when she's born and totally corrupt babysit her, they learn pickpocketing from Mammon to steal their dad's wallet and traumatise everyone else for the funsies ALSO SHE SWEWS A TINY VARIA COAT FOR HER BABY SIS FIGHT ME ON IT
Also had a hc that when Ver becomes Kyoka's mom, she starts altering her body to look more like her since she already kinda looks like Squalo with her silver/white hair, so she starts filing her teeth into fangs for her mama âšđ«¶
Also this was an art piece I made last year for @madkuroi during Artfight đ
Today, I share with you one of my problems :
I make too many outfits.
I love drawing them too much, I've got so many for a single oc it's almost concerning at this point.
You get to see the ones I have so far for Kyoka
"Sun, Lightning, Storm, Rain, Mist, Cloud-- They envelop them all, they accept them all. That is the sky's purpose."
The Star :
Congratulations for becoming the Tenth boss of the Novana Famiglia, Aleccio Raucci.
Aleccio is @deathsvvitch 's oc (thank u for letting me do the Arcana art đ«¶)
Thought I should introduce yall to my main KHR oc, my baby who is heavily traumatized Hibari Kyoka !
(She is not part of the Novana story for curious ppl, outside of an AU where she's tied to @madkuroi 's Veronna đ)
She has taken over my brain since like, 2019 and I am now up to at least 16 AUs for her,, (yes I've had more pop up since I made the sheet)
Pls pLS PLS ASK ME ABOUT HER I AM BEGGING TO TALK ABOUT HER TO ANYONE WILLING TO LISTEN
"To draw damage to themselves and away from the rest of the Famiglia, serving as a lightning rod. "
The Hermit :
Welcome to the Novana Famiglia, Ageha Suzuki.
I told you I was coming for your kneecaps hehehe ~
For the headcanon ask, bring some loredropping about Ageha with the theme "Conflict" :3
Damn u really went for my kneecaps huh đ
Bet u thought I was gonna bring up the Takeshi beef
BUT INSTEAD I BRING U FAMILY TRAUMA
There has always been conflict in the Suzuki family between all its members. But the most prominent one might be the one between Ageha and her mother Chizuru.
Chizuru is a big traditional woman, believes in gender roles and is homophobic as fuck. Which kinda sucks since her daughter is a very much lesbian that learns to fight to join a criminal empire in another country. She might not be aware of most of this about her own daughter, but she still reminds her constantly of being a "proper lady that takes care of herself so she could attract a good husband". She also forced her to join "girly" activities her entire childhood, that Ageha may (or not) have failed at on purpose (and from a lack of motivation bc of depression but that's another thing--)
Ageha does start standing back against her mother the longer she spends with the Novana, Vongola and Kyoko, finally knowing what she wants to be and how she wants to spend her life (and with who).
This leads to regular fights where Chizuru will try to "bring her back on the right path" and where Ageha will stand her ground, as well as fights between both Chizuru and Mamour, Ageha's father.
She cannot pretend she is not happy when she finally gets out of her parents' home.
Hello! Slipping in for the theme ask meme for Agehađ
How about 'darkness and light'?
Hiii thx for this bc this is such a perfect theme choice for her actually--
When you see the ship of Kyoko and Ageha, Darkness and light/Sun and Moon is deff something that pops out ! Gloomy and dark Ageha and sunny and hopeful Kyoko !
But my headcanon is that actually, each of them considers the other the light to their darkness âïž
Ageha lowkey has depression at the start, and slowly heals from it the longer she spends with Kyoko breaking down the walls she built around her heart ! Kyoko is literally her light in the way that she shines bright from her optimism and love, and the fact she never gives up on her. Meanwhile she considers herself a very boring and unlovable person with not a lot of talent.
On the other side, Kyoko considers Ageha her light in the sense that before her, her life was very monotone. Just smiling and be pretty, have boys fall at her feet and more boring thing. But then Ageha appeared and she saw more fun things, and could finally break out of the mold of the "perfect pretty girl" she ended up fitting in. But she thinks that she herself is actually a bit of a liar in a sense since her school persona is more or less a mask for her now, and Ageha is getting her to be more truthful to herself !
(yes I know it was just supposed to be Ageha but listen it fits well with the theme so u get ship knowledge--)
Cookiegeha for April fools lmao
Kyoko misses her girlfriend đđ«¶
-----------Denial-----------
âWeâre gonna have to tell her Ryohei, you know this. I know you want her safe and happy for as long as possible, and I do too, but right now itâs too dangerous a situation to just pull the wool over her and the other girlsâ eyes like you all want to do. It didnât go well the first time and it wonât this time either.â
âYou know I canât just let this happen to my little sister ! I have a duty as the older sibling to make sure sheâs safe, how am I supposed to do that if we tell her and the others ?â
Ageha knew where he was coming from, but the situation was dire and his need for protection wasnât something they needed right now.
âI KNOW ! But again, just not telling them is not keeping them safe, itâs endangering them ! You still feel guilty from what happened when you were children, I get that, but Kyoko has grown up since, and sheâs capable of defending herself ! What youâre doing is just keeping her in the dark and babying her !â
âBabying her ? I'm not babying her, I'm trying to protect her ! Millefiore is hunting for all of us out there and you want me to tell the girls about how much danger there is just waiting to jump them ?!â
âYES !! Because again, Ryohei, not telling them puts them in danger ! We wonât be able to stay by their side the entire time, they will be wanting some alone time at some point and we wonât be there to do anything when it happens ! Why canât you understand that ?! Yes theyâre children right now, and none of them have training to defend themselves yet, but that's why telling them as early as possible is the safest option !
You have to understand that they're not weak damsels in distress waiting to be saved. They are scared teen girls begging for us to give them context on what's happening. More than that, you have to understand that they deserve not just the truth, but the chance to make the choice of getting involved by themselves. They will be targeted no matter what because of us, and that was the case already ten years ago when all of this started. You know this, youâre just trying to ignore it.
And they will find out anyway, and it wonât go well if we donât tell them ourselves. You also know this, because it already happened in our time. You know I canât keep things a secret from her like this when itâs so important, and even then sheâs not stupid, far from it. You know that. Now will you acknowledge this fact and realize how dangerous it is to not tell them, or will you keep this on and stay in denial ?â
By now the both of them were panting from the screaming match, in a desperate attempt to make the other side understand their point of view. (Thank god they were in an empty room far away from where everyone else was sleeping.)
With a shaky breath and a rub of his hand over his face, Ryohei spoke, in a calmer voice.
â...I just⊠Kyoko is everything to me, I canât bear telling her something like that⊠Why canât she just have a calm and loving childhood, away from all the fighting and troubles we bring with us ? None of them deserve this when weâre the reason they were dragged in this in the first place.â
With another shaky breath and wiping her eyes from the start of tears, Ageha answered.
â...You think I donât know that ? Of course I would love for them to enjoy the normalcy and fun theyâre supposed to, that we were supposed to⊠But we just canât not tell them. Theyâre confused, scared, and more importantly, determined to find out whatâs going on. If we donât tell them, they will find a way to figure it out themselves, and possibly put themselves in danger. But more than thatâŠâ
She sat on the table of the room, the exhaustion starting to make its way to her. Ryohei followed and sat on a chair.
Unknown to both of them, someone approached the door and settled to listen.
âKyoko is your sister. People seem to forget it, even you, but she has a strong combative spirit, even if physical altercations arenât her thing. Iâve seen it myself time and time again even when we were 14, she has determination and a sense of action that could easily rival yours, Ryo. And Haru too, sheâs so resourceful and has such an incredible mind. And she has no trouble getting involved where she believes she should.â
They were both smiling, thinking of all the times the girls came through for them all with unexpected help.
âNot telling them is just doing them and us a disservice, Ryo. They will know one day, that much is certain, but we can at least make sure they learn it on terms and in situations that are safe and helpful.
Iâm gonna go to bed now because weâre both tired and we need rest. Iâm not gonna say anything more when you know my opinion on this. Just⊠think about it more, okay ?â
With quiet âgoodnightsâ and âsleep wellâ, the two guardians went their way, unaware of the girl who heard the end of their discussion and begging for more answers.
The night felt suffocating.
Kyoko was tossing and turning, the knowledge from earlier rattling in her brain.
Going to sleep was hard, knowing how deeply the people she loved were in danger, and how simply being associated with them put her in just as much trouble too.
Her sweet future girlfriend was in the mafia.
And so was her kind brother.
And all of the friends she made that didnât care about her as âThe Schoolâs Madonnaâ, but as Kyoko.
Everyone was in danger, and almost all of them wanted to keep this a secret from her and Haru.
Yeah, falling asleep was hard.
But the worst was what came after it.
Electricity was crackling across the skin of her beloved flower, her screams echoing across the walls of her mind. The scars were burning red on her throat and reaching deep inside her flesh.
How didnât she notice the way she started looking around her with more purpose and constant vigilance since then ?
A hospital bed and missing teeth, covered in wounds he knew how to avoid in his usual fights. The beeping of the machines made her head ache along with her eyes stinging with tears.
How did she ignore how often he started fighting, and the seriousness of the wounds increasing ?
Gunshots echoing across the school's field, aimed at her dear friend in hopes of a fatal injury in his opponentâs favor.
How hard was she denying what she was seeing this entire time, following Takeshiâs denial of the truth explanation of it being a game ?
A dark shadow swallowed the room into darkness, leaving her with no knowledge or sense of the direction.
The ground was meant to be under her feet, but nothing felt solid there anymore. Still she stood, trying to keep herself from panicking.
Far away in the distance, a fire lit up.
It started a normal yellow, the expected color youâd see on a candle.
And then the flames grew taller, and with it the color shifted.
The center kept the hue of yellow it started with, but each new movement brought an indigo color to the fire, until it was engulfing the entire space in front of her, leaving her nowhere to escape.
No air to breathe, and a heat close enough to burn away her tears. She felt like she was dying. And maybe, she was.
She couldnât help but remember simpler times, how everything was before all of this came into play. And then the fun times full of shenanigans Reborn kept instigating.
A particular one resurfaced. Not long after that kendo fight between Mochida and Tsuna, Kyoko had visited Tsuna at his house.
She doesn't remember the details of that day very clearly. She remembers anger, and then a determination and desire to rectify something, something that hurt her deep in her soul.
But the clearest thing in her mind from that day was the same fire glowing in her hair, colors inverted as if trying to hide and drown the indigo in yellow. She remembers how warm and kind the flames had been back then, and how different they felt now, trying to kill her from inside her mind.
She could feel the burn in her lungs, and heavy limbs being dragged down by the pressure, tears evaporating away before they even formed.
And then, a tingle went up her spine.
It was gentle, but she could feel it travel up to her nape clearer than the burns that were scorching her arms.
Slowly, the tingle traveled to the rest of her body. There was no hurt, just the feeling of something crossing across her skin like a drop of water would when it rains. It shouldnât have been noticeable with how much the fire hurt and burned, but it was.
And with the tingle, breathing became easier. A breath in, and a breath out. One more. And one more. Just like that, she could calm down, concentrating on the feeling of the buzz caressing her skin.
The flames werenât gone. Still they were travelling up her arms and legs, eating at her skin like a horror movie. But the burn wasnât there anymore. The flames just sat on her limbs, swaying without an ounce of pain coming from them.
With a calmer mind, she admired the flames.
The colors were absolutely stunning. Something felt right with how they looked, sunny gold and dark blue mixing in swirls in the fire.
With a soft feeling of warmth clicking in her chest; the tingle faded, and her mind followed.
She woke up with a gasp, clutching at the closest thing in desperation. Her legs were tangled in the bedsheets, and she could feel the sweat making her hair and clothes cling to her skin. The phantom ache of the burns echoed in her limbs, and she couldnât help but gulp as much air as she could, afraid it would leave her lungs again forever.
A soft and warm hand drew circles across her back. It reminded her of the tingle.
It took a bit of time, but slowly it was bringing her back to what was around her, grounding her.
The room was her own inside the Foundation base. The lights were off, except for the one from the hallway, peeking through the open door. The pillows were scattered around her, and the bed looked singed in some places.
Holding Kyoko to her chest was Ageha, hair braided back and in her pajamas. Her hand was still drawing circles on her back, while the other was gently holding her up to avoid her falling down.
âItâs alright Kyoko, breathe slowly, everything is fine. Thereâs no one here but us, nothing to harm you. Iâll make sure of it.â
The tears that were begging to fall while in her mindscape finally dropped, soaking the womanâs arm as Kyoko clung to her with all her might.
Ageha did not stop rubbing her back, soothing words and gentle voice chiming softly in her ears while Kyoko cried out all the fear in her heart.
From the corner of her eye, she could see indigo and gold flickering in and out of her view, gently coaxed away by a shine of green.
âI was born to protect, and Iâll do so until you feel safe again, my sunshine.â
