#zora x rebecca

[the-black-bulls]

rarepairs ask!

zorarebecca or zoranebra? 👀

time to get around the zora ships.

(send me two ships or friendships and I'll pick one)

Zora x Kirsch(?) vs. Zora x Nebra(?)

I ship neither. I can't see zora getting close to someone of a high class outside the bulls let alone get in relationship with them, this concept does not work in my head because this is zora, and the few fics I read for both pairs didn't work for me so, uh, I think I'll just go with the one whose family I'm the most invested in...

HCs bonus:

Zora x Kirsch:

neither of them remembers the other's name and neither of them plans to remember it, instead they go with nicknames.

I see them as one of those rumored maybe couples who never get together but will cross each other's paths once every 3-4 months.

in the far future zora will build his own school, peasant-only (but is open to anyone suffers from discrimination), while kirsch will build his own, royal/noble-only, the two schools are bitter rivals.

Zora x Nebra:

insulting each other? this is their love language.

nebra is in love with zora's fashion sense and keeps asking his advice for what to wear in this party or that festival, his response often starts along the lines of "bitch open your eyes I only wear this shit so people like you hate me!" - then proceeds to give her the most horrendous advice and the madwoman actually loves it!

neither of them is capable to live with the other and abandons his life, so they only meet each other in neutral places like the black bulls' base and keep reminding the other that, yeah, we'll only do this 'till one of us find a fitting partner.

Zora x Rebecca vs. Zora x Nebra(?)

Ah, two girls who never met zora in canon... obviously I'll go with the one who has a simple life and loving family and deserves as much love as zora!! I like rebecca, let's go with this ship, I want them both to have a happy ending and peaceful future.

HCs bonus:

rebecca's siblings adore zora so much, her youngest one even sees him as parental figure and calls him 'dad' (and zora freaks out every time because holy shit).

rebecca has her own restaurant and zora visits her on regular basis to help her around and teach her new recipes, thinks of coffee shop vibes with slow burn (rebecca stopped looking for guys because none is willing to accept her siblings and they’ll always come first).

if they ever had kids, they'll have one girl and that's when zora will drop the mask, retire magic knights heroism, and create a school to teach the new generation (co-lead with another bull).

#not a quote #ask game #zora ideale #kirsch vermillion #nebra silva #rebecca scarlet #zora x kirsch #zora x nebra #zora x rebecca #ok but I vibe with the last one a lot #it works wonderfully with my future hcs for the bulls #crackpair but a good one

Haji [Sukehiro] of the Black Rose Void

Sara Ideale & Rapunzel’s Web

When Gris & Lyca head over to receive their grimoires and squads, they run into Gris’s best friend Hazel Agrippa. Hazel directs the cousins’ attention towards Haji & Sara. Haji is Lyca’s longtime rival for Sara’s [eventual] hand in marriage. When the group goes to talk to the pair, Gris subtlety points out to Hazel that Haji is forming his signature black rose behind his back. Hazel sneaks behind him and transforms the rose into poison ivy under the glamour of a black rose. Haji hands the rose to Sara (most likely to one up Lyca). Sara is quickly affected by the ivy causing Haji to backup in disbelief and shame. The girls start laughing and Haji chases after them. Meanwhile, Lyca unwraps Sara’s ribbon on her hand and tells her to think of her favorite smell. Sara remembers her mother, Rebecca’s, stew. Lyca uses his wind magic to recreate the very same smell and blows on Sara’s hand thus healing her in the process. Just as Haji & Gris have their swords drawn out on each other (with Hazel hiding behind Gris for safety), they stop and notice Sara & Lyca. Lyca gives Haji a smug look as he has won this round. Lyca reprimands the girls for their childish behavior, yet whispers his gratitude in his cousin’s ear. Asta (the Wizard King) & Yuno (Spades/Clover King) look onward in amusement of the next generation of wizards.

Sorry to be awkward, but I'm also white and trying to add more black authors to my reading-list after seeing people recommend that for juneteenth. I realized I read almost all white authors and want to fix it. Sorry I didn't want to bother a black person and I know you like talking about books!!!!

I'm assuming this is apropos of my book rec link/substack post, and in my book rec tag I have a bunch of books by Black authors linked, including a dedicated post from last summer.

that said. PLEASE don't simply look for color to add to your reading list without understanding why it's so important to read a diverse array of texts. it's not a matter of simply adding a certain amount of Black authors or books to your reading list, but about understanding that we consume literature to better understand the world(s) of ourselves and others, to build cognitive empathy with experiences we'll never truly understand, to practice critical engagement with new situations / relationalities, to access pleasure and pain through new angles, and to form and reform our senses of justice, right, and wrong. among a million other things. simply tracking which identity categories you read from isn't going to accomplish this: it requires looking critically at the themes discussed in different texts, reading things that make you uncomfortable, and actively keeping up with a variety of authors/reviewers in order to stay "in the conversation" with culturally relevant works old and new!

to start, ask yourself: why do i gravitate toward the books i gravitate toward? do they share themes? is there a meta-theme of whiteness that i wasn't noticing before? what topics do i shy away from, and how is my whiteness imbricated in that shying-away? sometimes i find it helpful to set mini-goals, so if you wanted, you could resolve to read 1 challenging (emotionally, intellectually, etc) work a month. either way, know that a diverse/inclusive reading list needs to be done with intention and with critical questions in mind –– just asking "how do i get more [x] authors on my list?" is a recipe for shallow engagement.

Here are some authors to get you started: Toni Morrison, Gayl Jones, Maya Angelou, Colson Whitehead, Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Justina Ireland, Danez Smith, Octavia Butler, Zora Neale Hurston, Nnedi Okorafor, Helen Oyeyemi, Saidiya Hartman, Christina Sharpe, Rivers Solomon, Samuel R Delany, Tracy K Smith, Jesmyn Ward, Tiffany D Jackson, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, NK Jemisin, Erica Hunt, Claudia Rankine, Precious Okoyomon, Yaa Gyasi, Nalo Hopkinson, Angie Thomas, Rebecca Carroll, Elizabeth Acevedo, and Brit Bennett.

Hm, how about Grey x Gauche for the ship question meme 🤔😅 (sorry I know this was probably very predictable ajwksks)

No problem. I was just talking about this ship with a close friend 😆

Gauche/Grey

-based on this ask game-

when I started shipping it if I did:

Seabed temple arc, when Grey transformed into Gauche and helped him, then he grudgingly carried her piggyback style. Yes, I did ship them even before Grey's true form was revealed because I liked their hilarious interactions, then like everyone else I started to consider them seriously after Grey's flashback.

my thoughts:

This is one of the few canon ships I like because Grey tends to hang around and hide behind Gauche a lot. Their personality match up is interesting and they can bring the best out of each other.

What makes me happy about them:

They're canon :)

What makes me sad about them:

Please, please, please tabata, don't make their characters all about this ship and each other. This always puts me off canon ships. I mean I don't want Grey's character to be reduced to her crush only like how it is with charlotte and mimosa.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

Gauche being creepy about his sister or Grey being timid around him.

things I look for in fanfic:

Anything that hasn't been done yet, like Grey taking the lead in their relationship or in their sex life.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

Gordon for both. If I have to pick one of my crackships then Rebecca or Zora for Gauche and Charmy or Finral for Grey. I swear these ships make sense in my head lol.

My happily ever after for them:

Married with lots of kids. Marie lives with them. I like to think that they'd take a different family name because Gauche doesn't want them to get involved with any more noble bullshit.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

Gauche the big spoon and Grey the little spoon. I can see them switching sometimes.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

Shopping with Marie!

That's it. Thank you for asking 😊

What other fandoms are you familiar enough with to use as an AU prompt? Pokemon Trainer AU? Homestuck AU (they'd still probably die but at least there are lots of ways to come back to life)?

I’m not that familiar with Homestuck, definitely not enough to do an AU.  I read the novelizations of the Pokemon show as a kid but never saw the show or played any of the video games.  I did play the super-obscure Pokemon board game, but most of my trading cards were printed in Japanese (I had a strange childhood), so my experience there is, uh, probably not quite overlapping with everyone else’s.

Anyway, if you want list of all my fandoms… Boy howdy.  I don’t think I can come up with them all.  However, I can list everything that comes to mind between now and ~20 minutes from now when I have to end my procrastination break and go back to dissertating.  So here it is, below the cut:

Disclaimer 1: Like a lot of people who went to high school in the American South, my education in literature is pretty shamefully lacking in a lot of areas.  (As in, during our African American History unit in ninth grade we read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… and that was it.  As in, our twelfth-grade US History class, I shit you not, covered Gone With the Wind.)  There were a lot of good teachers in with the *ahem* Less Woke ones (how I read Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bluest Eye) and college definitely set me on the path to trying to find books written/published outside the WASP-ier parts of the U.S., but the overall list is still embarrassingly hegemonic.

Disclaimer 2: There are a crapton of errors — typos, misspelled names, misattributions, questionable genre classifications, etc. — in here.  If you genuinely have no idea what a title is supposed to be, ask me.  Otherwise, please don’t bother letting me know about my mistakes.

Disclaimer 3: I am not looking for recommendations.  My Goodreads “To Read” list is already a good 700 items long, and people telling me “if you like X, then you’ll love Y!” genuinely stresses me the fuck out.

Disclaimer 4: There are no unproblematic faves on this list.  I love Supernatural, and I know that Supernatural is hella misogynistic.  On the flip side: I don’t love The Lord of the Rings at all, partially because LOTR is hella misogynistic, but I also don’t think that should stop anyone else from loving LOTR if they’re willing to love it and also acknowledge its flaws.

Lugna (Luck x Magna) - No.1

Kahoelle (Kahono x Noelle)

Other than them I also kind of ship romantically:

Yunoleo (Leopold x Yuno)

Asubecca (Asta x Rebecca)

Finressa (Finral x Vanessa)

Yamichar (Yami x Charlotte)

Gauche x Grey
