The Red Flower

You become what you once hated

He is kind of a 'Evil Former Hero'? Its more of a Former HEIR and he is more Grey than Evil, but he is Tsuna's Predecessor, so he DOES fits the Trope

I talked about how similar he is to Loki and Tai Lung before both in this blog and others sideblogs (here and here), begin a Rebelious Foster Son and a Rival to the ACTUAL Heir (Po begin the True Dragon Warrior, Tsuna the New Vongola Heir and Thor...this one was always the blood firstborn heir)

But I think his situation is far more POLITICAL than both Loki and Tai Lung, he wasnt just the fourth heir, he is the Varia Boss, has a position won by his own merit, not blood.

Timoteo decided to treat him as if he was a mere one of the heirs, not the HEAD of a independant division with his own loyal people, a really dumb choice. Tai Lung or Loki would not be able to start a coup, Loki's army was not Asgardian.

So here are the parallels with the Uchiha and the Noldor I also talked about before, with Madara (and Sasuke and even Itachi) and Feanor as the parallels to Xanxus

Noldor did rebel and were fairly sucesful at the beginning, they did leave and got independance.

Xanxus did rebel, but got stopped.

The Uchiha didn't even got the change to fail a rebellion

I have Zero Idea where I am going, but if anyone have a opinion about this, please share

Also, on the political side, Timoteo's plan is similar to Empress Violet (from Caught by the Villain) with Leto and Norlin with Jenna (from The Princess Plot - the Scandia Series by Kirsten Boie):

The Current Heir is your enemy, so you get a spare heir out of nowhere that you can manipulate and usurp you enemy heir

Norlin and Violet are more like Iemitsu because the kids are his Hidden Secret Daughter and her Missing Long Lost Son, respectively.

While Tsuna is his spare kid Iemitsu had so the bloodline won't die out

This plot is kinda similar to what Suren from Stolen Heir seens planning in doing with Oak? Marry him and challenge Jude and Cardan? In theory at least.

Added here because thats is something I can see Xanxus doing, find some random person of Vongola Bloodline (mostly likely a Sawada) to marry and legimate his claim

While they could be siblings, one of them could have another mother/father, or have a different genders or ages or political beliefs or powers or the way thy were raised (or by who)...

Basically anything that would make one claim weaker or stronger than the other

The entitlement or ownership over anything can and will cause conflict

The reasons for it are numerous, from 'heritage' to 'worthness' and even 'necessity'

The 'villain's rebellious son' like Prince Lotor or Zuko, but Xanxus is more like Loki or Tai Lung since Nono is not the KHR's 'official villain'

But his sons all dead, so now Tsuna goes from threat to last heir

I have been seeing a trope I really liked in both Sage (The Boys) and Alison (Umbrella Academy) and Wanda (Marvel)

Or Elphaba/Glinda/Fiyero/Boq/Nessarosa

Or even with a couple like Coryo/Lucy Grey, I hate this man, but as a reader? Villain was love with the 'predecessor heroine', a singer/performarcer he feel 'betrayed', erased her existence and still obssessed at the point she's lowkey the muse of the Hunger Games? Fascinating

Ivan's sacrifice for Till was beautiful and so sorrowfull tale, he didn’t even get to confess.

Silmarilion has Luthien and Beren, not to mention Finwe with both Indis and Miriel, sucha parallel to Anne Boleyn and the separation of Church and state.

And Maeglin, his origins as a Aredhel's son and her kidnapping by the Dark Elf Eol, his obssession with Idris and betrayal in the Fall of Gondolin

King Arthur has Morgana, his half-sister and their evil son Mordred, then also the affair between Lancelot and Guinevere.

Anakin's fall to dark side was half because of his grief over Padme, their forbidden love, and he still responsable for her death. Their twin children begin hidden, then defeating him and restoring the peace and the Jedi Order was perfect ending for a Fallen Hero.

I watched Onyx Equinox, Mictecacihuatl and Yaotl's past, and later he regaining his memories and choosing to stay with Izel was the best part.

You have man like Uchiha Obito starting over his Lost Lenore Rin Nohara and tell me romance isn’t importante to the plot. Naruto started the 'I can fix him' movement for Sasuke.

Enkidu, made of clay by the gods, send to Gilgamesh as a worthy opponent to the arrogant king, the turned back to clay by Ishtar because he rejected her love.

❤️ Lacie Baskerville ❤️ is my favorite Lost Lenore, the whole mess with Jack Vessalius and both Alyss and Alice, and the fact Levi is the twins's father

Enemies to Lovers is Oversatured in Booktok, but the good ones are masterpieces.

Both Korosensei with Aguri Yukimura and Kenshin Himura with Tomoe Yukishiro were Lost Lenores that managed to get their assassin lovers to want a redemption and their were Enemies to Lovers

The Witch Satella is my favorite yandere girl and she falling for Subaru causing the Return by Death?

Rumpelstinkin of OUAT, with Cora, Belle and Milah, all different and messy and important and Once Upon a Time is full of Power of Love, and hate also, and parents, siblings, lovers are important to the plot

I tried to make it similar to the anime style of KHR

Ok, I remade the colar, put the left arm closer and kinda tried to fix the shoulders

Put the left arm a bit more down maybe? Because she in not straight?

I will fix the arms later

Zero idea what i am doing
