#loreposts tbh calling bonana a bloodbender made me realize its likely he didnt actually know he was capable of doing that *until* necron. and maybe thats the thing i want to focus on with his character, bc he can recognize how fucked up that was, and he shouldnt do it willy nilly. -

#loreposts sometimes bonana does wonder where he would be if he bit his tongue and gave in to the life his parents planned out, bc he does recognize how "good" he had it. who he would be if he didnt have to risk life and limb saving worlds while never knowing where hes going to sleep for the night

#loreposts felt it was important to write down some key lore for why bonana is Like That about romance

tbh thats why i love answering questions bc i never considered that angle between bonana and giott. cause i do think theyd be friends but theyre also really wretched for each other. not in a toxic way but more like beavis and butthead. u do noooot want them together

lrp i love thinking about graha being haunted by the realization he couldve easily prevented everything that went wrong with bonana if he was honest about the lightwardens bc there is no way the other 3 wouldve let him do it alone if they knew the risks from the start

tbh bonanas existence is just people forever making assumptions about him when he does nothing but stand there

the other day i said it was the start of the end for anemone,and while technically true, it actually started with zodiark. bc he was always meant to be the end goal, they stop him + the ascians and everyone claps for the heroes. but thats not what happened, so what did happen was so shocking
October 9, 2026 at 3:30 AM
its like, the reason he doesnt like his real name isnt really for trans reasons, but mental illness ones and having so many negative associations with it that hearing it sends him into panic mode. the whole point of anemone arc was to (unknowingly) replace them with positive ones-

i really need to stop neglecting grammy i do think a lot about how important her friendship with bonana is...in a lot of ways they parallel each other and especially early on she was the first person he'd ever met who struggled with the echo like he had
October 9, 2026 at 3:28 AM
with anemone arc everyone passed it off as a fluke, like oh bonana was reasonably stressed out and cracked under the pressure, he'll bounce back. but sasabe is the only one who can recognize it as the behavioral pattern it is, bc shes seen it before, several times

the tragedy of bonana is that he did not start to feel like he was living his own life until 30
and he cant think too hard about the 7 or so years that were "stolen" from him during msq
October 9, 2026 at 3:28 AM
if he were born in a different world bonana could make a killing as a voice actor, specifically the kind that can do a billion different voices that all sound distinct
October 9, 2026 at 3:27 AM
lately i keep thinking abt bonanas dynamics with popular male characters and u know i think most of them boil down to the horror of men projecting their desires onto you as a lesbian + the isolation it causes because no one wants to (or cant) step up and tell them to cut it out
October 8, 2026 at 6:15 PM
honestly i think in universe bonana post-ew would be mildly ok with using she/her or they/them with ppl hes close to. but i will never do that because i feel like that would lead to other ppl seeing him as like, girl(lite) and using those more than he/him
October 7, 2026 at 6:44 AM
#loreposts followup thought to prev that ive never gotten to fleshing out is i sincerely can see bonana being into drag. like one of those contexts i mentioned him being ok with she/her is "everyone knows i am performing femininity in an over-the-top fashion, this is not my normal"
October 7, 2026 at 6:48 AM
#loreposts (this may or may not stick)
i was thinking what if he was talking with the nagylvi bud and trying to explain what he was upset about (feeling like the only person who can save the shards) and it was like hey hey its ok. feel everyone at once ok

#loreposts tbh a forced-retirement au is really sad to think about bc i dont think theres any happy end for bonana that way. he *would* try really hard to stay with the scions, i can see him trying to stick with tataru, but ultimately he'd get too in his head about ruining himself to that point -
September 30, 2026 at 6:14 PM
#loreposts honestly i think bonana used to hate rest days bc he hates doing nothing all day, but he changed his mind as soon as he figured out its a really good excuse to lounge around with his gfs.
napping by yourself in a room 👎
napping while gripping her like a monkey 😍😍😍

i love modern wolqotds that are like whats on your wols phone what kind of video games do they play whats their favorite drive thru bc most of my answers are my wol lives like a caveman bc his parents were insanely restrictive raising him. he would not know what an app is

ardbert transfeminine agenda

the exception to bonana not gaming is when sasabe ropes him into playing with her. which just makes me think of streamer au and how he wouldnt stream himself but he'd be rly popular on sasabes channel just bc of his cryptid ass habits in games
September 26, 2026 at 5:11 PM
you know ive never actually talked that much abt how bonana felt during the post patches. after he regains his lucidity and can actually try to process what happened he becomes mortified and untrusting of most everyone around him. he refuses to talk about it
September 26, 2026 at 5:12 PM
honestly fun to think of bonana being named an honorary archon or w/e in sharlayan postmortem, because he'd absolutely be against them trying to do that while hes still alive
September 26, 2026 at 5:10 PM
i cant sleep so im thinking about the last shb gpose i made... im really proud of it bc i feel like it captures something thats so hard for me to put into words
September 26, 2026 at 5:12 PM
since i never got to talk about it: this piece represents anemone in endwalker being consumed by all the bad decisions hes made throughout his life in the desperate pursuit of happiness. it was heavily inspired by mitski's "the deal"
