#ikurui

It have been 2 days since Jiku’s sweet kingdom art are released but I’m still cannot stop shivering about this.

Did you see what I am seeing?

KaiShun and IkuRui have the same shooting angle and even their poses have similarities with each other too! Kai looks like a king and Iku is like a prince, Shun is the queen and Rui is like a princess. In recent years, Iku and Rui increasingly resemble their seniors but I can say that this is the clearest evidence for it!

I need prompts and whatnot for writing-- can yall gimmie a bunch? be it characters, ships, senarios-- specific or vague, anything at all im willing to try atm! It'll range from a small drabble to a possibly bigger thing to even maybe being posted in my ao3 oneshots! Just go ahead and send me anything, anon is on and im ready~ (you can also send multiples if you want i suppose? I like variety and theres never a 100% chance that i can come up with something so the more you give the more likely ill respond~) But yeah! I need inspiration and variety and practice so come at me! OTP's, rarepairs, crack ships, BrOTP's, combi adventures, ot3s ot4s-- hell ot12s, sfw, nsfw, anything~ Just no OCs or self inserts since im not a fan of it and ik multiple people with sensitivities to that. (Kinks are ok to req for nsfw ones but if i dont like one dont be mad if i dont do it)

also, ONLY TSUKIUTA BOYS!!! I'm not really a Tsukipro fan, so I cant write them well. In fact I still don't know most of soara and growth's names so yeah-- just dont request tsukipro or tsukicro (alitar)

This is just going to be a summary of the Demon Lord Kai theory and Hajime’s Lover was Shun theory. I won’t quote anything...at least not much.

@aina-akabane and I were just discussing the puzzles pieces and she said if you connect all of them together Tsukiuta seems fucked up.

Let’s just talk about the setting of Tsukiuta a bit though.

A series based on characters of the 12 months of the year. 

They were scouted by a mysterious man, Tsukino Mikoto, by finding the rabbit, Shiroda the white rabbit for Procellarum and Kuroda the black rabbit for Six Gravity. 

Now isn’t this strange? He took one look at them and decided they could be an idol, no audition, nothing. Just because they found a rabbit which seemed to be there for them to find. 

The leader of Six Gravity is Mutsuki Hajime a man who’s like a King and who felt like he never fit in. Though he doesn’t want to be called King, everyone treats him like a King, as if it’s completely natural for them to do so. 

The leader of Procellarum is Shimotsuki Shun, a whimsical man who calls himself the Demon Lord, who became an idol just became he heard Hajime became one. He just saw Hajime’s name on top of his in academics, never seen the guy before (he asked Kai what kind of person is he) and decided to leave his posh home of a rich young master to travel to Tokyo when he hadn’t even known how to take a train before. 

It’s quite romantic, but it’s not normal. He hadn’t even met Hajime before, only knew his name and that he was the only one who could put his name in front of his. And decided his dream was to form a bond with him. 

Hajime and Shun become the leaders of Six Gravity and Procellarum and are known as the Black King and White Demon Lord.

While the Black King is certainly like a King (but doesn’t really want to be one) the White Demon Lord is not like a Demon Lord.

When you think Demon Lord you think evil, the most evil thing Shun has done is laugh evilly before he drew out the card in Procellarum’s radio show before he proudly showed off his Hajime fanclub (No. 6) card. And challenging the prince to a boss fight as Demon Lord in their radio show Shunderella but all because he wanted to marry the king Hajime.

Shun is unpredictable, mysterious, whimsical, but he isn’t evil. He gives good luck to people, encourages Yoru, listens to Kai’s first love story, says he wants to see Hajime shine. He even said he can’t be bitten by mosquitoes because he decided the only thing that can penetrate his skin is love??? Shun what Maou-sama

In fact Shun is more like a princess, even officially as Shunderella. He prefers to not work, he gets Kai to make tea for him, he’s spoilt, but elegant and speaks with a delicate voice, he always speaks about love, he sings about love to the tune of Let it Go from Frozen (”Love is all~”) and got jealous when they were admiring Elsa’s powers and said his attribute is ice too and he could create an ice castle too, he treats the Underworld like some sort of vacation place, Diablo (who probably is really dangerous) like some cute pet, uses his powers as the Demon Lord for good and to help people. It’s like he has the powers and unlimited magic power of a Demon Lord but his demeanor is like a kind princess??

Like something is off here lol. Shun isn’t evil like a Demon Lord. He’s like a loving princess with the powers of the Demon Lord and so used them for good.

He’s mysterious and unpredictable but not malevolent. His antics are all because he’s bored and all in fun. He likes to take his clothes off because he doesn’t like the feeling of clothes sticking to his body but other than the ‘enlightenment’ he gave to photographers it’s all in harmless fun.

And then we have Kai the guy who is too nice who says he wants everyone to rely on him, who has a first love story where she died due to illness and he decided to do everything she couldn’t do and so became an idol. The perfect big brother, father, husband...

Who has a song out of nowhere called Beast Master where he sings about having a beast which hides inside the chest of the older brother and how he gets jealous when their gaze always strays and once he captures them, he will never let them go. And says if the person wants to tame the beast (him), to make him wear their collar. The person who is the princess of the beast master. 

There’s only one person who wears anything around their neck. It’s not Mizuki, whose songs complement Kai’s but not completely.

It’s Shun. 

Shun wears a choker given by his producer Kikuo as a musical instrument and to seal his power. 

Kai told his princess that if she wants to tame him, to make him wear her collar.

If Shun is his princess (he treats Shun like a princess anyway, taking care of him, serving him tea) that could imply Kai is the real Demon Lord and he gave his powers to Shun.

Kai even quotes Shun in his baton pass.

☆It’s July starting today!☆ Rui「It’s the Beast Master’s month starting today」 Kai「Come here~ Come here~ Young Lady~」

The baton pass is supposed to be from the lyrics of their song.

This is not from the lyrics of Beast Master. It’s from the lyrics of Shun’s song.

海「おいで～、おいで～、お嬢～」

Kai「Come here~ Come here~ Young Lady~」

さあおいで、おいで… 欲しい、欲しい… かわいい かわいい お嬢さん

“Come now, come, come… I want you, I want you… You cute, cute young lady

http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/Maou_(-KIKUO_MIX_Ver.-)

Shun’s Maou (Demon Lord) song.

Beast Master never talked about a girl or young lady. Only a princess. ‘Young lady’ is from Shun’s Maou song, where the quotation marks seems as if he’s quoting someone else.

Kai said that to Shiroda, and Shiroda ran away from him to Rui, as if she could sense Kai was more evil than he seemed? Especially with that line.

Just like how Kuroda runs away from Haru. So the too nice Holy Mother Haru could be someone malevolent as well, especially with this picture

He looks as if he was in cahoots with Demon Lord Kai. 

Kai has black wings here and in Japanese folklore is like a tengu but Lucifer (what Shun said his other name was) also has black wings like a fallen angel.

So that is a summary of Kai as the real Demon Lord theory. 

Besides them, we have characters who have these strange quirks. Iku can charm anyone even a guy, Kakeru has eternal bad luck, Rui has a perfect ear for music, Koi’s sister Ai is a goddess candidate and he thinks he’s ordinary for some reason, You is son of a temple and his talismans even can stop Shun and his bad feelings (premonitions) are always right, Yoru can access other dimensions in his dreams... The reason why I said it has a sinister story is because not only is the setting kind of off and the Demon Lord not really evil, there are repeated themes throughout the songs. Labryinth, Wheel, Time, Dream, Flower, etc. Hajime’s Hyourin Shiki sings about how he bore a curse and it’s the wheel of suffering. Everyone’s songs, except Shun’s, has some kind of dark theme. Kakeru and Koi sing about the ‘worthless reality’ in their duet song, Innoceia. Yoru sings about how he sees the same people over and over again. Iku sings about ‘cruel tests’. Rui sings about how he hates the world and how ‘it can’t be saved, this cruel world’ 

Gravity is about the story moving on and the time can’t be repeated. GRAVITIC-LOVE tells about a labryinth where they want to disappear, ‘just the two of us’, probably referring to Hajime and Shun since they also sing about the noble form on the water surface, reflecting Hyourin Shiki, Hajime’s song. Procellarum’s ONE CHANCE is about the end of the world and walking alone in darkness. LOLV is about saying goodbye and pushing forward...forever. 

It could be that they’re in an endless cycle of time and have to repeat it until they get it right, their memories sealed away by Kai the Demon Lord.

The next roulette that began to spin can’t return anymore Let’s moving on. 

- Gravity, Six Gravity

- Tsuki no Uta, Procellarum and Six Gravity

Tsukiuta has no heroine despite being an idol series It’s my theory that Shun is the secret heroine. @aina-akabane and I discussed and there are probably mythology elements and the characters are probably characters from various mythology.

Well, this obviously doesn’t belong to me because it’s a link, but just wanted to share some amazing IkuRui fan art for Lunatic Party I found on twitter~

『Childish Flower』を歌ってみた【Gaahdin】

We covered Childish Flower!! (Again!!) (We love Ikurui ok)
