OC Files: White Bull; or EL TORO BLANCO

It is March already; almost a year since this blog started. Figured it was time to finally go to the point and do things I've been holding on for a long time already. Here goes nothing, I guess...

...

When Red Matador (Or locally, Matador Rojo*) was formed, it was obvious that there'd be some controversy. Not everybody was fond of bullfighting being the face of a youth soccer team, and one that even represented Spain aganist the world. Complains both online, written and on TV were made, but nothing seemed enough to do any change. The team still would proceed like normal, and so did the resigned country during the Euroleague. However -and with the start of the FFI-, let's just say somebody decided to protest this... In a very different way.

Meet the White Bull, or in its original language, El Toro Blanco. A mysterious figure that started to appear itself to the Red Matador players. It's style is quite interesting, with clothes that resemble a mix of the "traje de luz" (Matador uniform) yet with some curious modifications, to the point it resembled something entirely different. However, the most notorious part of its design is the huge bull mask it wears, covering completely its face and hair.

Don't let such elegant attire and mysterious looks fool you, this dancer is actually also quite good at soccer. And nothing has proved it better than its first encounters with RM, in which he completely swept the floor with the captain and his two buddies. And the moment information about him leaked to the public; feel free to guess how the media reacted to this. Needless to say, nor Querardo, nor the coach, nor -almost everyone- at the spanish team are really fond of him. To make things even worse, Toro Blanco seems to be clear set with their objective: To prove the world how weak a matador truly is.

...Things didn't seem to look so bright for this team with that dancer around, at least on the Qualifications time. However, as the FFI progressed and Spain got stronger, soon they started to find few ways to counter Toro Blanco (I'd like to say with the use of Matador Feint, but... No, that causes them to react in a different way). Other point was to discover his many weaknesses, such as its limited vision field in distance (Proved by their horrible shots), or his dislike of bright lights. With the power gap between RM and TB decreasing eventually, at least their relationship did grow for the better. Toro was seen less of a nuisance, but more instead of as a rival to grow alongside.

But no matter if its in Madrid or Liocott, one thing is still unanswered.

Who is under the mask?

(*That's regarding the original name. On the dub universe the actual team would be "Matadores Rojos", which leads to the shortened version "Los Rojos" that everyone uses instead.)

DRAGON FIVE: Seol Hyeon Dae

More FD Bench, now with reserve DF Hyeon-Dae. Unfortunatey the one I have the less of, but I still like him anyway </3

He has three younger siblings who are eager for cinema as him, and they beg for in an appearance in his future movie. Hyeon-dae always keeps his promises, though he can't guarantee how good will their appareances be. (They are in dire need ofimproving some acting skills...)

At least they are good supporters of his soccer plays, so he appreciates that.

...He's actually the nicest guy of the whole group. He has no resentments, no self-pressure, no pettiness, no actual anger... He's just a guy with huge ambitions and that's it, as "vanilla" as that might sound. But that doesn't make him an outsider from the other benchers; in fact he does help keeping the group around most of the time.

Ji-Nan grew a liking for him because of that, and they like to hang out around the town when practice is over. Chung-yoon also likes to join in at times, liking to talk with Hyeon-dae (And to keep an eye over the keeper).

Sung-Joon is slightly harder to interact with to due to how much of a show-off he is, but HD did just fine by convincing him to appear in one of his movies; his future award being a "new step for Korean media" (At least that's his choice of words). Both a blessing and a curse, now SJ won't stop talking about that whenever he's with Hyeon-Dae, and how great of an actor he will be...

And while HD does know a lot about korean movies, he isn't very interested on K-Dramas. SJ is the one to talk with him about that.

...Meanwhile with Jung-Won he talked just a bit, but they seem to be in good terms. JW offers a lot of interesting technical information about cameras, surprisingly, so maybe a collaboration could happen in the future.

I guess he could be the "leader" of the benchers? Sung-Joon tends to claim that title himself given he's older, but all the rest believes Hyeon-Dae fits the role better. Even if he doesn't always know what to do most of the time (?

Final thing for now, but midway the asian eliminatories, he had quite the curious encounter in a japanese camera shop: With Adel Siddique, a bencher of the Qatari team with the same exact dream as his (Read their profiles pls). After having a nice conversation about filming equipment the two decided to keep in contact -be it phone numbers or the few social media of the era-. They are still on good terms in the future, but the truth is that they are now focused on their individual careers. Does this mean that they could end up competing for an award? Most likely. I won't say who gets to win the Oscar tho (?

A random tidbit that I want to add here to end is that, for some reason, Hyeon-Dae's 3D sprite made his pupils look like literal minuses ➖➖, similar to those of a goat. The anime went with an approach closer to his actual sprite; pupils still "blocky" but more normal-looking.

(Source for the pic)

Honestly the latter medium made him look so much better overall. That bowlcut can't be fixed tho, I'll say that (? 😭🙏

#Seol Hyeon-Dae #Adel Siddique #I love your take on this character 🫶 #Especially the absolutely wholesome thing about his brothers wanting to be in his movies #Also 👀 #Adel my stylish bby #I wonder who's gonna win the oscarrr

No offense, but there's no way L5 put two players in DL with the same exact surname (Ismail), yet did nothing with the concept or let it be treated as a "coincidence"... 😭

Majidi and Rajab are brothers to me idgaf

(And yes, one could argue that their designs aren't that similar, specially on the eye shape, but... Believe it or not, the anime coincidentally did make Majidi's eye design be closer to Rajab's....)

-----

Last Minute Bonus: They do appear together on the bonus DVD BOX poster!!!!! I don't think that's their actual height difference, buuuuut 🥺

#Desert Lion #Majidi Ismail #Rajab Ismail #This is such a cool take on why their last names match #And the polar opposite personalities makes this brotherly dynamic so much fun

Just something that came to me in a dream..I don't really know what this is.

KOQ HCs: Gareth Barrett #2

Gareth and Friends:

Like I said, because of the low image he had of himself and his struggles at socializing, Gareth spent a huge chunk of his life lonely. But at least things didn't had to be so grim for him.

For example, as a child he soon befriended Clover Fortune, daughter of the family the Barretts served. She was slightly older than him, just by 2-3 years, but that didn't stop on them being very attached to each other. Having a superior similar on age meant an easy way of learning butler skills; but even if Gareth tried very hard to serve Clover she didn't like seeing their relationship as master-servant. In fact, despite not being related by blood nor documents, she considers him deeply as a younger brother.

Aside from the main mansion, Gareth would also have some opportunities to meet new faces; such as in one of the many parties done by the Fortune's and their contacts. Being given the very simple task of serving little pastries to the invitees, that night he stumbled upon a girl who would become his best friend, Sienna Hayley. Being of similar circumstances, the two bonded quickly as both desired to make friends. Since she was a fan of baking, the two soon developed the silly passtime of having tea parties together, even at local school of Oldfolk. The procedure was simple, Gareth would serve the food Sienna would make, giving his friend time to eat by herself. However in many occasions she also offered him to join in too, not wanting to see him just standing there "like a pillar". A bit unusual for a butler, but it at least made his friend happy. Plus, Sienna's muffins are the best!

However, not everyone seemed on par with this idea, as one day both friends were sorrounded by some other Oldfolk students who had no good intentions at all. While Gareth was ready to try and defend Sienna, soon the rascals were scared away by a mysterious jockey that appeared out of nowhere. His name was Dale, and while he didn't care much about the two nor their parties at first, he couldn't stand seeing injustice nearby. With the surprising offer from Sienna to join them in, soon Gareth made yet another friend.

But like shown before, Oldfolk school did not always bring him friends. Although Gareth wasn't a person to make enemies, his cold exterior would give others the wrong first impression. And plus, the closest thing to a rivarly he would had was with the child of the Rotten, Lance. Though it was mostly because the helmet boy often tended to act quite snarky to others, boasting about his ties to royalty, but also specially towards Gareth due to their shared knight naming motif. IN FACT, knowing the tragic fate of the knight Gareth at the hands of Lancelot, this often gave him a sense of superiority, constantly joking about it to the keeper. However, for better or worse, Lance is one of the few people Gareth's not afraid of standing up to.

Despite everything at least, their rivarly never went too far. Specially with both boys knowing a stuff like a fight could damage intensely both the reputation of the Rotten, the Fortunes, and the Barrett all at the same time. Besides, they found a better way to express their rivarly without much harm: Soccer. I'll talk about Gareth's entrance to this sport separately, but let's say that both players are always striving to be better than the other, and often tend to have 1v1s.

However, there's a strange factor that also tones down their shared tensions, and that is... Clover herself. Whenever she's nearby or when she spectates any of OF's soccer matches, Lance's bickering atitude towards Gareth is reduced exponentially. The butler assumes is because she's older and thus more intimidating, but there's times where he notices Lance often staring at her way too much. Just in case, he's keeping an eye on him.

#Knights of Queen #Gareth Barret #Lance Rotten #Damn Lance #We see you #Happy to see Gareth making friends nonetheless #Lovely hcs as usual #Though I have to say I lowkey ship Lance with at least three different people already lmao #The dynamic between him Gareth and Clover is still immaculate tho #so I'm excited to see how this would eventually play out

KOQ HCs: Gareth Barrett #1

Background info on Gareth. My emo butler boy (? <3

(Experimenting with a different type of format than the typical bullet list I tend to use here. Mentions few OCs.)

The Barretts carry a very interesting legacy when it comes to their servitude. In the past, it was even rumored they helped to serve the royals themselves. In actual times however, the family has decided to step down a bit, although still within the world of the privileged.

Currently, they reside on the simple village of Oldfolk, located within the english plains. Despite its lack of fame, it is still the residing place for many wealthy families at their mansions; including the Fortune. The current family the Barrett serve.

Gareth's father, Gawain, is the main butler of the house, helping to lead the other servants and organize events. He's aware that the role of a butler is losing more and more importance in the modern world, but he still tries to hold on the history his family carries. At least he can rely on his wife Liz to help him out.

Though she also has her fair share of controversies, being originally the maid of the Rotten, a nearby household. Their first meeting is attributed to a party both families attended a long while ago, plus some random encounters they had on Oldfolk down below. With time, the attraction they had became way too apparent to hide, and it led to a discussion over what would be their future together. After talking about it, Liz decided to move and live with her lover's family; a choice that was accepted by the Rotten although with some tension. Nonetheless, things went quite good enough, and later on the maid was also given a little temporal residence on Oldfolk as to take care of their newborn.

...Gareth, Gawain... Yeah, the motif is a bit notorious. Gawain himself claims his birth name was simply a regular choice with nothing behind it, but it did inspire Liz when thinking about baby boy names. Gareth himself doesn't mind nor care about being named after a round table knight; though things could later get tense as he had to convive at school with another boy also with a similar motif.

The little butler's childhood was quite decent, actually, living peacefully with his mother in Oldfolk. However once he was old enough, Gawain convinced his wife to start bringing Gareth to the Fortune mansion, as for him to know and maybe learn in the future about the way of life of the Barrett. A strange choice, but something that had been normalized in the family. Until now, none of the male members had even refused the offer of being a butler for the rest of their lives. Would this be any different?

Gareth's raising as a butler was pretty simple at first. He was given very easy tasks, such as organizing little places, tiding up clothes, cleaning one room at a time... If he ever felt in need for help, Liz was always there to help him. Gawain preffered to give him space instead, a way for him to learn, but it did cause some distance between father and son.

Overall, Gareth's relationship with his parents (and the Fortune elders) was so and so. He never had any feelings of dislike for them, but as he was growing into teen years he started to feel a little distaste for the future butler life. Sure, it did give him very good skills on life -and a huge attention for cleaniness and detail-, but the though of him spending life inside a mansion's walls felt... Overwhelming.

Whenever he visited Oldfolk's village, his day always got better. It was such a small, simple place, yet it always gave him a sense of wonder and curiosity. The world outside the Fortune mansion was so big, and he himself wondered if he could go one day and see it properly...

And besides freedom, Gareth also soon started to crave friendships. Even if both Oldfolk village AND school gave him opportunities to meet new people, he struggled a lot on social skills, specially when putting his feelings into words. To make this worse, a strange belief his father would impose of him is that "If possible, don't stand out too much. The butler's thoughts shouldn't matter much". An unfortunate toxic mentality that made Gareth be even nervous on speaking out at times. But honestly, seeing the other kids playing together while laughing gave him a saddening jealously...

Fortunately worry not, he at least has the current Fortune heir to give him company. He'll also meet other people too in the future and even more thanks to soccer, but uh... Let's end this here.

------

CLARIFICATION: Gareth's name written in japanese is ギャレス (Gyaresu), while the knight!Gareth's name is ガレス (Garesu). This means that these two "Gareth"s are completely different (as names), and the reserve keeper was not named after the legendary figure. However, I still wanted to put the idea here because... This is Knights of Queen, DUHHHH-

I wanted more knight references (?)

#Knights of Queen #Gareth Barrett #Lovely hc as usual anon #I'm excited to hear more coming from you #Also Gareth being the first one feeling like breaking the family traditions because he feels overwhelmed by them is a great concept #Btw is “Rotten” as in “Lance Rotten” or as another Rotten family #i'm genuinely curious

RonLau.............................

I've already talked about Ladji and Émile, I'd also like to talk about other of my favorite RG duos: Ronnie and Laurent. So here's something from back in March.

This is pretty much a story of how they became at least a bit aware about each other, but hadn't met properly yet. Obviously pre-FFI.

Ronnie Weiss became a supermodel years ago, as winning a local beauty contest gained the attention of an agent who saw potential on him. When given a chance to escape a supposedly "boring" life in his rural hometown, he accepted the offer straight away. Modelling life isn't easy, but it was good enough for him. Better than "rotting on the countryside", he would say.

That day, Weiss was being transported to his next modelling job, a photo shoot for the well known magazine Cerise. Being a common reader in the past, he was quite excited yet also nervous about it. Something he wasn't proud of showing.

Suddenly, the car had to stop like the red light ordered; which led to Ronnie having some time to see the streets of Paris; and the so-called commoners's "uninteresting lives". Since his transport had stopped right in front of a cafe's terrace, he expected to see the typical customers. But... He saw something entirely different from what he was expecting.

In between the brown tables and the dim colored shop, a beautiful face was sitting calmly. Their skin was almost white like snow, standing out even if it was almost covered by their hair; blonde ash gray, both colors blending together. And even if it looked messy at first glance, it was elegantly tied with a notorious pink ribbon, accidentally making Ronnie believe he was looking at a girl. A mysterious "girl" who had such beautiful, cold blue eyes, showing a melancolic aura as she read a little book.

On the short time the red light stood on, Ronnie stared completely in awe, even begging his driver to pull down the car window as to get a better look. In the few seconds Ronnie was hit with the outside breeze, he tried any way to gain the girl's attention. But like if the god of luck had heard him, suddenly she looked away from her book, and noticed the sudden car window opening nearby. For an instant, she and Ronnie made eye contact, an angelic moment that made the raspberry boy's pale face red.

It didn't last for too long however, as the car continued its movement few seconds later.

As he was being forced apart from his new muse, Ronnie quickly returned to reality, remembering why he was inside a vehicle on the first place. Upon noticing an unusual frown coming from his model, the agent was quick to check on them.

"Sorry. I just saw the most beautiful girl ever! But, I'm not sure I'll see her again..."

"If she's that beautiful, there's a chance. Girls like that get scouted for the industry eventually." After a sudden pause, the man started to realize something. "Wait a minute, you saw her in a cafe terrace, right?"

"...Yes?"

"...And she had... White skin and almost blonde hair? With a pink ribbon?"

"Ye- Wait, you recognize her!?"

"...Well, haha... I think who you saw was actually Little Laurent. He's the son of one of Cerise's editors. Easy to mistake for a girl, isn't he?"

Ronnie took a breath trying to process all the sudden new information. That beauty was actually a boy... Well, not much of a surprise. If he himself had been born with a pretty face, who knows whose other boys could have been as lucky as him. In fact, he had already saw some around, but always as rivals on the modelling industry. He could easily do the same with Laurent, specially knowing his connections, but...

"No, he isn't a model at all." His agent clarified "Believe it or not, before finding you it was him who I wanted to represent. But he refused my offer, and I didn't felt like insisting. A shame, really. To this day, his mother tells me over how much of a beautiful model he could be."

...With no reason to consider Laurent yet another rival of his, Ronnie gave a sigh of relief. There was no way he even wanted to see him with any ounce of resentment! Although, it was weird to know he could have been on his place instead.

"If he's related to Cerise Magazine, well... Is there any way I could see him better in person?"

His agent chuckled upon the question, leaving the model confused.

"...Not sure, sorry. But it is told he likes to spend his free days on cafes, just like what you saw. Maybe if we catch a break, you could give him a surprise visit."

Ronnie's eyes lit up, making him give a smile of excitement.

"...But the agenda's tight, Weiss. There's so much you still have to do first."

As his smile fading again, soon Ronnie returned to observe the streets of Paris again; not wanting to encounter any other beautiful person like he had done recently.

The memories of his brief encounter with Laurent still clung on for the day, and they persisted on his memory. Deep down, he constantly wished to meet that stunning face up close, no matter if they were both boys. But as Ronnie's various jobs continued and the routine became stricter, soon it became less and less important to him...

And then the FFI happened, and Ronnie had his proper bisexual awakening (?????

Super long headcanon incoming pt.1:

They met for the first time at the convocations for the FFI Germany's national team.

Peter is 13 (1 year), Luca is 14 (2 year) and Torsten is the oldest, 15 (3 year).

(canon information)

PETER

The first one to catch feelings was Peter. His heart began racing whenever Luca was nearby, his hands would become sweaty, and he couldn't even breathe sometimes, let alone look him in those gorgeous icy blue eyes of his for too long.

He knew right away what it was and soon he was head over heels for his blonde teammate. After a little bit of pining, he couldn't quite keep it to himself anymore so he decided to tell Jonas about it, and after an "Ok so try to guess, he's on our team and he's-" "It's Luca. 100%." the Polish teen encouraged him to try and test the waters.

TORSTEN

Torsten started to have a tiny tiny crush on Peter sometime around the qualifications in Europe. He didn't realize it at first, believing it was just great admiration like the one he felt toward their captain, yet after some time he reckoned that it had to be something more than simply that.

He had never disliked Luca per se, but as to be expected, knowing about Peter's seemingly hopeless crush on the blonde didn't help the feeling of jealousy that would tighten a knot in his stomach whenever Luca seemed to get too close.

Either way, knowing there was little he could do about it, the goalkeeper never made a move on Peter and chose to keep his distance for the moment, allowing himself to hope that maybe, with time, Peter would develop feelings for him instead.

LUCA

Luca was oblivious to all of this and for a while didn't even notice odd behaviors around him or anything. He and Torsten weren't even close friends to begin with, more like friendly teammates than anything so he never exactly questioned why all of a sudden the goalkeeper seemed to avoid him.

His relationship with Peter, however, was a different story. Along with Jonas, they had pretty much gotten along since the first match, eventually becoming close friends and hanging out often, sometimes even just the two of them alone, reading together, talking about literature and war, etc.

Then strange things began to happen to him when he was in certain situations involving his teammate; his face would get hot randomly and his heartbeat would speed up for no reason when he was alone with him. Weird. Catching himself smiling dumbly at the screen whenever he'd get a text from him was a normal friendship thing, right? And why did hearing Peter laugh made his stomach do flips?? He didn't understand what was wrong with him; until one day, after practice, Luca had a talk with Kurt about it and finally figured himself out. Well. Sort of.

Just a relatively quick sketch I did about a certain dynamic that has my heart.

Maximilian is a masterpiece honestly.
