You just truly gotta wonder what went wrong. I was under the impression, from the various statements & actions from the crew and the way the show was before (and the manga!) that the creators were passionate about these characters too. So why fuck it up so bad? Budget cuts? No way, not with the budget they kept for the animation. Limited freedom caused by the commissioning broadcaster? Maybe, although in that case it's kinda weird that they managed to write a very good season 1 and only later tripped on these limitations THAT BADLY. Genuiely thought this was decent and didn't realize the glaring issues? Hard to believe with how obvious they are, but maybe. In that case, let's hope they'll realise their mistake and won't double down on it.

It's a small world

A fic about various things I wanted to write about instead of rambling about them; focuses on Manta and Hannah. The whole thing is under the cut.

Manta didn’t expect his and Hannah’s connection to fizzle out the way it did.

Not that he was expecting anything specific; She wasn’t someone he would really consider a friend. At the same time, though, he couldn’t deny that they weren’t exactly strangers, either. They hung out sometimes, she tried to help him during his illegal race against Corto, and they bonded over how great they thought Teach tech was – something that left a bitter taste in his mouth now.

He would have expected some kind of a lukewarm goodbye, or an awkward wave as they stepped onto the boats meant to take them to their homes. But as the boat steering towards the Solar Sea took off, there was no exchange between them - in fact, he wasn’t even anywhere nearby, instead preparing for his and Shino’s attempt at getting a better life for themselves.

He did think then if he should have approached her outburst the day before the way he did. Back then, he didn’t see it as anything more than a show of weakness; she wouldn’t have lasted a day in what he had to live through on Polaris. Why should she get sympathy for being a double-crosser? For only feeling bad now that it was too late anyway, now that Gavinda’s plan was in full swing?

But it wasn’t too late. Not to her and the Tikis, anyway. And she did her part in fighting against Teach…

Unlike him, at first.

No, Hannah wasn’t weak. After everything, Manta could tell that much.

Maybe he shouldn’t have underestimated how cruel Teach could have been to her. Maybe that shouldn’t have been his last words to her.

“Oh well. Too bad”, he thought, going back to packing his stuff. What’s done is done.

He hasn’t really thought about this, or anything related to the Mirages, for the next few months. He had more important things on his mind - building a new life from scratch with Shino (and Debbie) on an entirely new island was challenging enough to take away any time he could have had for reminiscing about his old acquaintances from the Whale Cup.

They weren’t on his mind these few months later, as he was walking through one of the lesser known alleys of Tortuga to his boat, either - at least not until he saw a familiar looking silhouette walking through one of the streets he’d usually pass.

“Hannah?” He called out instinctively, more out of surprise than anything else.

“Oh– hi, Manta.” She replied, turning around to face him. “Been a while, huh?”

“Yeah, but– What are you doing here?”

“On Tortuga? I came for the Rotor Punch, obviously.” She shrugged. “But, I wanted to see how you’re doing with my own two eyes while I’m here, too.”

“You heard of me?” He asked, squinting his eyes.

“Duh. It’d be harder to not hear of the famous White Tiger, honestly.” She said, leaning on the wall next to her. “You’re taking Aquagram by storm– You know that, right?”

He shrugged and made an indecipherable hum. Debbie did tell him that he was getting more popular day by day, but he never really got interested in how popular he was outside of Tortuga, exactly. His winning streak mattered to him more than whatever she was doing over on her hologlove.

“Wait, but– Rotor Punch? You’re competing?”

“What, you think I can’t handle it?”

“It’s just– I didn’t know if you’d still be racing after… Everything.”

Hannah frowned for a short second, but quickly smirked instead.

“It takes more than that to make me quit, you know. I managed to get into Solar Empire’s drone guard.”

She crossed her arms, still leaning on the wall.

“So, I’m the one representing the Empire this year.”

“Oh, wow. You got yourself a solid position, huh?” He said, walking over and sitting down on the stairs next to her. “How’d you even do that?”

“Eh, turns out getting to the finals of the Whale Cup was good enough of an achievement to sign up. Only had to climb a few ranks after that.”

“Pshf, sounds easy.” He teased. She only hummed in response.

“What about Adam? Is he participating with you?”

A slight grimace showed up on Hannah’s face. Manta wasn’t sure how to decipher what emotion it was supposed to show.

“...No, he’s not. He hasn’t reached out to me after Teach’s defeat.”

“Oh.” Manta said. “...Sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Hannah sighed, sitting next to him on the stairs.

“...I haven’t tried to reach him, either. At first I thought I should, since Teach manipulated him, too, but… He was always more invested in her plans than I was. It seems like we both picked our sides.”

“...I see.”

“Yeah.”

A moment of silence fell upon them.

“And you’re…not worried?”

Hannah glared at him for a few seconds before deciding on an answer.

“I… don’t know. I have mixed feelings about it all.” She stated, resting her chin on her hand.

“Teach was cruel to him, too. She’s not going to suddenly do a 180. But, if that was his choice, then–”

She suddenly waved with the same hand in the air, leaning back.

“--so be it! I’m not going to chase after someone who made up their mind!”

She let out something between a groan and a sigh, hiding her face with her hands for a moment.

“...What’s it to you, anyway? I didn’t take you for the type to talk about this kinda stuff.”

Manta shrugged, looking somewhere else.

“You were the one who said it’s been a while.”

“Heh– yeah, that’s true.” She chuckled. “I guess it did a number on you.”

“Hmm.”

They sat for a moment in silence before Hannah stood up from the stairs.

“...Well, I should go. I take it you’re taking part in the Rotor Punch too, right?”

“Of course. Who do you take me for?”

“Yeah, thought so.” She smirked again, turning back to go about her way.

“I’ll see you around, then. Just don’t expect me to go easy on you.”

“Psh, as if I’d need that. But yeah. See you around.” He replied, also getting up from the sidewalk.

As he got back to walking to his boat, he felt a sense of a relief he didn’t expect.

Turns out, he was sorta glad to see her again.

#i dont really know why anyone would do this but just to be sure?? don't tag as ship? like any relation mentioned in this #droners #droners hannah #droners manta #droners season 2 #droners fanfic #i mentioned in the tags of that adam ramble that i was thinking of hannah's POV too but wanted to write it. well. heh #its done finally #at first i was kind of surprised to see that she didn't even mention him but as i thought about it it did make sense #we don't really know much abt what they went through long-term together but afawk hannah has no idea abt what happened in the titan #meaning she doesnt even know adam was taken by teach against his will #from her POV he might as well be staying on her side willingly. and maybe she is upset about it #but unless he's mentioned by someone else she's moving forward & not thinking about him #which honestly good for her that she's not letting this bring her down #there is also the fact that its been a few months #even if this 'moving forward' would be harder at first she had time to get used to it #so. yea #still hoping that they'll adress it in the show #but i don't really feel her not acknowledging all this as OOC

i'm gonna explode hannah is so genuiely happy when she and corto are cooperating with each other well in out of synch it's killing me i love her i love them

[hallufabrication]

I feel like this is really one of the less reasonable ideas of mine but when Gavinda mentioned being Whale's apprentice in Art of Illusion (whether it was a lie or not be damned) my mind immediately went to the possibility of the show having some kind of parallel between her and Corto, since her goal that she succeeded in was becoming Whale's apprentice as well.

We're halfway through season 2 and no such thing has happened, with the show instead making a parallel between Corto and Hannah, in the same episode nonetheless (to be clear i aint complaining, i love that part of the plot), but I think it might still be possible if we're going to learn more about what happened between Whale and Gavinda in the past, or anything else about Gavinda really. But then again, it's one of the most baseless theories of mine. I wouldn't be surprised nor upset if no such parallel shows up lmao

Edit/Addition, I had this on my mind but somehow forgot to mention: This line might as well be Gavinda manipulating Corto. With the tournament's reward being becoming Whale's apprentice, she could have guessed this was something Corto looked forward to and saying she had that role in the past could make Corto trust her/relate to her more, in a way. Definitely would be in character for her to do that.

#droners #i didnt really intend to put this in the main tag but there's nothing really happening there anyway so

For the record the 3rd fragment was what drove me to actually making this

#droners #im gonna tag all of them who tf do you think i am #droners hannah #droners adam #droners corto #corto heilani #droners mouse #i am NOT tagging her entire full name though im too lazy to look it up #droners monk #droners mina #droners debbie #droners manta #droners edit #<- um. i think? #// swearing #<- is this how that tag works

y'all realize that disney is not making this show right. Like it only bought the rights to broadcast it. You are aware of this yes

#saw some people repeat that something in the show they didnt like was disneys fault and i mean. #are some decisions in the story made while keeping 'we want disney to keep airing this show' in mind? #possibly! i dont know how exactly this works #but its not like toh or amphibia or gf or svtfoe where it was actively made by disney #and thus very directly influenced by disney executives #its made by completely different people. and disney wasn't even the first to buy the rights to broadcast it #it just happens to be the one that airs it for most countries its in seemingly #droners

Monk is a really cool character and i like him but sadly they gave him a name which makes me mentally groan every time i'm reminded of it

#i have encountered many names in fiction that were rare. but 'monk' isn't even 'websites aimed at moms make an article about this name' rare #i don't even think it functions as a real name at all? which SUCKS. #especially when you consider that they named a character that comes from an island that seemingly has actual monks as an important group #that's also based on china (mostly? but whatever theyre inspired by is another topic that im not informed about enough to get into) #like it just. leaves a bad taste in my mouth. its like if you called your kid 'priest'. #it also feels low effort! they didn't even try! #even 13 year old me would like. read the wikipedia article or two on chinese names and pick one. thats like the bare bare minimum #when your inspiration is that obvious #hell even if it wasnt as i said. its like calling your kid priest. #i aint tagging this some people are following me if its meant to be seen then yall will see it
