- None of the Varia has had an actual conversation with Xanxus. Except for Levi. [Volume 19]

CRYING

WHAT IS AIR

[demoerin]

THAT ONE. THAT IS THE ONE THAT'S REALLY STUNNING.

how

[metaphand]

i don't know if it's like .... a) xanxus not wanting to talk to them and always refusing decent chitchat, unless he's giving orders or talking business, or b) nobody wants to talk to xanxus because he brushes them off as either useless talking with trash or they're too scared (?), which i doubt -- okay, it's true for maybe some of them, and so they never try, or c) they just .... don't want to make chitchat with xanxus, which makes imagine xanxus as the Forever Alone boss, only more angry or something

EITHER WAY IT'S HIDEOUSLY STUNNING. I MEAN WHAT. these are the people willing to die for you, and .... they haven't had an actual conversation with their boss, sob

[demoerin]

these are the people willing to die for you, and .... they haven't had an actual conversation with their boss, sob
Actually when you put it like that, it suddenly makes sense. It's the Varia: That's just how they roll. But still it's like ..........my god it's full of stars

I'm going with option a). He probably hangs out with them, just silently, occasionally interjecting a demand or sudden annoyed violence.

AND THEN LEVI BREAKS THROUGH HIS COLD FACADE
(It's the power of love.)

[metaphand]

no srsly i am crying on all the varia. just. crying

also: To be a Varia, you have to speak a minimum of seven languages. I KNEW I DIDN'T HALLUCINATE READING THIS SHIT

oh man i want secondo now I WANT SECONDO ARC SO BADLY hnnnghhh

[demoerin]

The Varia ones are the best. Except for that one about Kuskabe's shrinking manhood hair and I-pin's ... magic forehead.

oh man i want secondo now I WANT SECONDO ARC SO BADLY hnnnghhh
whoops sorry no as far as I can tell Amano seems determined to be boring

:/

[metaphand]

gdit amano. i've stopped trying to catch up with enma and stuff and i'm just waiting for this arc to be over. THE FACT THAT XANXUS ISN'T HERE TELLS ME STUFF

[demoerin]

I loved this arc for a long time, but lately it seems like it's not going to live up to its potential. Yeah, giving it a rest for a while.

[demoerin]

Squalo brought it on himself! He could have said "no thanks" long ago. I just assume that nonverbal communication is how they function.

That sentence cracks me up too. It's so happy to be completely vague.

[lacewood]

I-PIN HEARS SOUND THROUGH HER FOREHEAD.

I. I can't even.

Also NONE of the Varia having a conversation with Xanxus is equal parts tragic and hilarious and yet TOTALLY PAR FOR THE COURSE. What exactly would Levi count as a conversation anyway? I imagine he accomplishes this through sheer persistence none of the other Varia possess. XD Maybe if you just keep at it long enough Xanxus eventually gets tired of grunting and throwing things at you and starts speaking sentences? ... MAYBE?

Also, I gotta say, hiding your eyes behind a fringe does not seem like the most effective way to avoid UN identification in the long run. ONE CONVENIENT BREEZE AND YOUR COVER'S BLOWN.

[demoerin]

I'm not even dealing with the forehead thing. Just lolling. Well, she does have to hear somehow I guess.......

Also NONE of the Varia having a conversation with Xanxus is equal parts tragic and hilarious and yet TOTALLY PAR FOR THE COURSE.
That's the sad part. At first it sounds astonishing and then no, wait ... that's exactly how they operate. And impossible persistance sounds about right for Levi. Or maybe that one time Xanxus told him "good job" was the end of some kind of long drunken ramble.

Breezes do not blow on Belphegor 'cause he's A PRINCE. (Put that sentence next to the fact about I-Pin's forehead and tell me it doesn't make equal sense.)

[lacewood]

At first I was like SQUALO, REALLY? REALLY? And then I realised no, wait, all signs DO indicate that Squalo and Xanxus don't talk, just fling around unilateral decisions that JUST HAPPEN to involve each other. Xanxus issues orders and expects whoever's in the vicinity to hop to it, no disagreements. Squalo decides to grow his hair for eight years and IT'S NOT LIKE XANXUS COULD DISSUADE HIM.

Guys. It's no wonder you got beaten by a gang of 15 years olds. JUST SAYIN'

I-Pin hears sound through her forehead BECAUSE SHE'S A PRINCE (PRINCESS?) ... Well, it's not like Amano is ever going to offer an alternative explanation for SURPRISE ALIEN BIOLOGY...

[demoerin]

just fling around unilateral decisions that JUST HAPPEN to involve each other.
AHAHA. This is a great description of the relationship! Everything about this little revelation on Xanxus makes me ship them more, which is almost certainly wrong. But as someone once said, they put the fun in dysfunction.

Alien space princess I-Pin: headcanon. She probably becomes more human as she grows because her alien morphology allows her to adapt to the local habitat! It also goes nicely with my belief that Lambo is from outer space. Baby alien BFFs!

[demoerin]

Same. My desire to write Squalo/Xanxus and Levi/Xanxus because of the above is nearly overwhelming.

And here I was using Simone for Gokudera's mother. GLAD I FOUND OUT HER REAL NAME.
As it's only ever mentioned in some random volume info, it's hard to blame you!
