Crowned Clown

The next day:

I finished one of the pending commissions from before my surgery (yay!) and drew these as my post-commission shitpost and during breaks from my zine work.

It's the human weapon thing. An exorcist breaks critical when they accept that they are a weapon that fights akuma - effectively making themselves the same as their Innocence.

Allen who has no purpose in life other than to fight akuma.

Kanda who was born and forged for this.

Cross who sees himself as someone doing what needs to be done.

Zokalo who loves the violence.

Tiedoll who sees himself as a protector of the world.

Nyne who cleanly disposes of every akuma she encounters.

Anyway, Lenalee. I think, after she became crystal-type, it would absolutely make sense for her Innocence to take the place of her legs! Honestly, it kind of seems like that's how parasitic Innocences work to some degree - that's how Allen got his arm, and Krory's teeth fell out before he got Innocence teeth. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out Suman's arm had to get cut off before he got his Innocence. I bet that a lot of Innocences would just desynchronize though, just depending on how much they like that particular accommodator.

Losing one or both her legs would suck for Lenalee, especially since Hoshino places such importance on them, but if Lenalee ever got so gravely injured she would likely not survive the ordeal if not for Dark Boots "stepping in". It has me wonder though, would they feel like her own legs that she could feel through or not.

allen is obvious, of course - he's neah's vessel and he's always been neah's vessel and he is haunted by the fact that mana and cross (the two men that raised him) never wanted him. they wanted neah. even if it means he has to die. (they want him to die.)

but then there's neah

and i can't help but think of him replacing allen. and feeling that look that cross gives him. and maybe even mana, if mana regains his memories at the end. and they both look at him with that look. and he knows it's because he's wearing allen's face. he killed their son and stole his face and he knows that's all they see when they look at him.

they don't want neah anymore.

they just want allen back.
