The Excellent Eleven
March 24, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This screenshot motivational poster is super highly, absolutely, and indubitably Pro-Sesshoumaru, Pro-Inuyasha, Pro-Ayame, Pro-Shuran, Pro-Hakkaku, Pro-Ginta, Pro-Shunran, Pro-Ichise, Pro-Kiba, Pro-Ran, and Pro-Cheza with instances of Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, and Hakkaku’s bond as best friends as well as Pro-InuAya, Pro-GinShun, Pro-IchiRan, and Pro-Kiza moments thrown in the mix, although this mainly focuses on The Splendid Seven and The Fine Four joining forces as The Excellent Eleven, thus being one truly big, mighty, happy family. Sit back, relax, and revel in The Excellent Eleven’s strength, solidarity, steadfastness, stamina, sturdiness, steeliness, and splendidness.
What happens when you take seven super strong, fierce, and courageous yokai warriors in The Splendid Seven and four insightful, reflective, and coolly collected denizens of dystopian locales in The Fine Four and put them in one neighbourhood? You get an absolutely astounding camaraderie that transcends mere friendship and runs more on being a close-knit family who have so much to share, to learn from, and to grow both individually and together. I always thought that my seven favourite characters from Inuyasha would be great friends with my main OTP from Texhnolyze and my main OTP from Wolf’s Rain because I grew up watching these anime series during my tween years, and they would all have the potential to genuinely understand each other, all while seeing the best and the worst sides of each other without flinching. For years, I have also attempted to come up with interesting ideas and scenarios for this particular anime crossover friendship, especially since the seven guys would have a super strong brotherhood and the four girls would have a sisterhood steeped in solidarity. After all those years, I can attest that they can be perfectly adaptable in any scenario I place them in, whether it is my Jungle Warlords AU, Inurangers AU, Mythology AU or any AU that could have them be a strong family as well as a team of superheroes saving the world from nasty demons. Whatever scenario I place them in, I am certain to have a blast, as this is attributed to how strong The Excellent Eleven’s familial bond has been from childhood to adulthood. Therefore, nothing is ever going to get Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Shunran, Ichise, Ran, Kiba, and Cheza down, let alone break the super strong bond that has brought them together throughout the years.
Before Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza moved to the neighbourhood; The Wolf Elder, the ancient tribal chief, Toga, a high-ranking general, InuKimi, a high-ranking commander, and Izayoi, a noblewoman of the Japanese parliament had five children they were blessed to call their own. 8-year-old Sesshoumaru, 7-year-old Inuyasha, and 6-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta were Toga’s, InuKimi’s, and Izayoi’s sons, while 4-year-old Ayame was The Wolf Elder’s granddaughter. 7-year-old Shuran and 2-year-old Shunran came slightly later into the picture for they used to live with their biological father The Panther King who was physically and verbally abusive towards them as well as their sisters 7-year-old Toran and 3-year-old Karan. This got to the point where Toga saw it fit to strip him of his duties as a parental figure, adopt both Shuran and Shunran, and provided Toran and Karan a home with 4-year-old Ayumi as their adopted sister. As Shuran and Shunran arrived to reside with the Wolf Elder, Toga, InuKimi, and Izayoi, the four boys were very happy to have a fifth brother to call their own, and Ayame was really happy to call Shunran her sister. Life at the Taisho household was never boring, as Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta always played pranks on Sesshoumaru, thus resulting in a huge dog pile, and Ayame and Shunran enjoyed playing with dolls and action figures. There was also a set family routine of the children going to school, with Sesshoumaru and Shuran in Grade 2, Inuyasha and Hakkaku in Grade 1, Ginta in Senior Kindergarten, Ayame in Junior Kindergarten, and Shunran in Pre-School, having dinner as a family, and bedtime, with the five boys in one bedroom and the two girls in their own bedroom. Holidays were just as fun, considering the many theme parks they went to as well as various outings to the beach, the woods, and the park. Their early childhood was definitely full of bliss for adventures and great things to come.
One day when Sesshoumaru was 9, Shuran and Inuyasha were 8, Hakkaku and Ginta were 7, Ayame was 5, and Shunran was 3, they thought it would be a great idea for them to make a treehouse where they would meet after school to help each other with homework, have fun on the weekends, and just enjoy each others’ company. They would even use the treehouse to talk about all the destructive monsters they had to fight, especially those attacking their neighbourhood. Their plan of action would be Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha using their strength, Shuran using his massive bearhugs and squeezes, Hakkaku and Ginta using their fists and feet, Ayame using her speed, strength, and fists, and Shunran using her illusions to incapacitate every monster and demon they encountered. Ayame’s grandfather, Toga, InuKimi, and Izayoi were amazed at how well their seven children worked together and thought they would make a fine superhero team when they grew up. It was also at that moment that they called themselves The Splendid Seven because each and every one of them had something great that they could do in order to stop monsters and villains from destroying their home. The Wolf Elder and Toga even saw potential in both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha to be candidates for Ayame’s hand in marriage when she came of age, while InuKimi and Izayoi were certain that Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran were going to grow up to be equally strong fighters, with either Hakkaku or Ginta being a candidate for Shunran’s hand in marriage. Over the next three years, Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran were training in various martial arts to improve their fighting skills. Sesshoumaru was in karate, aikido, and judo. Shuran was in professional wrestling and sumo wrestling. Inuyasha was in Pankration, Brazilian jujitsu, and kickboxing. Hakkaku was in boxing and Tae Kwon Do. Ginta was in Muay Thai and Pankration. Ayame was in Shaolin Kung Fu, kickboxing, and karate. Shunran was in Wushu and Shaolin Kung Fu. Outside their growing capabilities as fighters, all seven of them continued to have time doing other activities like soccer, hockey, swimming, diving, and riding their bicycles and always enjoyed having family picnics every holiday. Life just got even more exciting for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran.
By the time Sesshoumaru was 13, Shuran and Inuyasha were 12, Hakkaku and Ginta were 11, Ayame was 9, and Shunran was 7, there were some changes in their dynamics. Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta were still the tightest of brothers, while Ayame and Shunran were still wonderfully tight as sisters, but Ayame and Shunran were developing crushes on Sesshoumaru and Hakkaku respectively, although they always considered Inuyasha and Ginta as their best friends for life. Ayame always fawned over Sesshoumaru because of how extremely cool and determined he was in everything he accomplished. Shunran was starting to be kind of torn between Hakkaku and Ginta, but she was at least fortunate to have Shuran play big brother and always remind boys who dared to touch her that she is off limits. More changes were occurring with 10-year-old Ichise’s, 9-year-old Kiba’s, 5-year-old Ran’s, and 4-year-old Cheza’s arrival with their respective families in the new neighbourhood, especially since Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza also formed their own group known as The Fine Four and quickly became best friends. Sesshoumaru thought it would be nice to have new sparring partners in Ichise and Kiba, while Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta found it great that they were going to have new best friends. As for Ayame and Shunran, they were so overjoyed at the prospects of having two new girl friends in Ran and Cheza. Ichise and Kiba were initially withdrawn and taciturn young boys who found living in the neighbourhood a new experience. Nevertheless, Sesshoumaru warmed up to both Ichise and Kiba by testing their strength, skill, and stamina in karate, judo, and kickboxing. Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta were just as happy to have Ichise and Kiba as their new friends because of how cool and strong they were, given that Ichise had been training in Brazilian jujitsu, kickboxing, boxing, and wrestling, and Kiba had been training in karate, judo, aikido, and Tae Kwon Do. Where the girls were concerned, Ayame and Shunran easily clicked with Ran and Cheza, for they were all into planting flowers in the garden, Shaolin Kung Fu, and always had weekend garden tea parties. Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza also proved to be of great help when they were fighting different monsters, especially with Ichise’s strength, Kiba’s fierceness, Ran’s intelligence and Cheza’s grace. In fact, Ichise and Kiba had blows so powerful that they could puncture metal walls. With The Splendid Seven’s and The Fine Four’s powers combined, they not only became the strongest of allies but also the firmest of friends as well as part of each others’ families.
Adolescence was the period where relationships began to be more intimate; first with Inuyasha and Ayame, then with Ginta and Shunran, and finally with Ichise and Ran as well as with Kiba and Cheza. As Inuyasha reached 13 and Ayame reached 10, Ayame’s crush on 14-year-old Sesshoumaru started to waver when he recognised how much she had to pretend when she was around him but was more relaxed and herself with Inuyasha. She even admitted to Sesshoumaru that she always thought about Inuyasha and enjoyed his company as more than just a friend. Meanwhile, Inuyasha was seeking for advice from Sesshoumaru about Ayame, as he used to be her crush. Sesshoumaru exposited that he also liked Ayame, but there were many times where she had to wear a mask just to try to please him. Furthermore, he even admitted that, whenever Ayame hung out with Inuyasha, he knew Inuyasha and Ayame truly clicked because they understood each other inside and out, and was going to be completely supportive of Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s relationship. Inuyasha and Ayame finally admitted their feelings to each other and started their relationship with Sesshoumaru’s blessing. One year later, 11-year-old Ayame even decided that 14-year-old Inuyasha was going to be her husband, they ended up being blessed by The Wolf Elder and Toga, and 15-year-old Sesshoumaru also blessed his brother and his sister-in-law so that they can live a happy marriage. Following suit after Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s marriage were 13-year-old Ginta and 9-year-old Shunran who were continuing to be supportive and admirable of each other. She was also able to take being over 13-year-old Hakkaku surprisingly well, as they did not really have too much in common, but at least they stayed really good friends. 14-year-old Shuran was also supportive of Ginta’s and Shunran’s relationship, as he knew fully well that they would always be attentive to each other. This got to the point when Ginta and Shunran finally had the gumption to tell each other how truly felt and affirmed their relationship and were married two years later. Ichise and Kiba did not get into relationships with Ran and Cheza until Ichise was 19, Kiba was 18, Ran was 14, and Cheza was 13, with 22-year-old Sesshoumaru, 21-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 20-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 18-year-old Ayame, and 16-year-old Shunran being extra supportive of their relationships. Two years later, 21-year-old Ichise and 16-year-old Ran as well as 20-year-old Kiba and 15-year-old Cheza finally decided to get married because there relationships were based on trust, allegiance, and, most of all, respect. To celebrate the wedding, 24-year-old Sesshoumaru, 23-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 22-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 20-year-old Ayame and 18-year-old Shunran prepared all the decorations, flowers, and catering for the two couples to be really happy. Inuyasha and Ayame, Ginta and Shunran, Ichise and Ran, and Kiba and Cheza always made sure to stay faithful to each other until their dying days, and Sesshoumaru, Shuran, and Hakkaku would always support their endeavours every single time.
Adulthood has seen all eleven friends become parents to their children and have seen them grow up so fantastically. 40 going on 41-year-old Sesshoumaru’s children as well as 39 going on 40-year-old Inuyasha’s and 36 going on 37-year-old Ayame’s sons and daughters have grown up into strong, daring, fierce combatants who are a combination of muscle, stealth, and stamina. 39 going on 40-year-old Shuran’s children, 39-year-old Hakkaku’s children, and all of 38 going on 39-year-old Ginta’s and 35-year-old Shunran’s sons and daughters have grown up to be clever, charming, charismatic fighters who are always willing to protect anybody and everybody from all harm. 38-year-old Ichise’s and 33-year-old Ran’s children have grown into innovative, reflective, taciturn inventors who know their way around machinery. 37-year-old Kiba’s and 32-year-old’s Cheza’s children have grown into nurturing, compassionate, kind souls who care deeply about nature and would love to make plants grow beautifully. Parenthood was never easy for Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Shunran, Ichise, Ran, Kiba, and Cheza, but seeing their children grow certainly assures them that they will cut their own paths in life and would make something great of themselves.
The Excellent Eleven have certainly come a long way in their lives together. Starting off with seven yokai warriors who were, are, and will always be a close-knit family then transitioning to having four new friends over, thus becoming the eleven valiant souls they are today, has filled their lives with gratitude, purpose, and perseverance in everything they do. Their children as well as their grandchildren in Sesshoumaru’s, Inuyasha’s, Ayame’s, Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, and Shunran’s case are going to live the best lives they possibly can and uphold their predecessors’ exciting legacies.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for The Excellent Eleven, everybody.

Seven Strapping Studs
March 23, 2022 in Blogs
This screenshot motivational poster is super highly and absolutely Pro-Sesshoumaru, Pro-Shuran, Pro-Inuyasha, Pro-Hakkaku, Pro-Ginta, Pro-Ichise, and Pro-Kiba with instances of Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, and Hakkaku’s bond as best friends as well as Pro-InuAya, Pro-GinShun, Pro-IchiRan, and Pro-Kiza moments thrown in the mix, although this mainly focuses on Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ichise’s, and Kiba’s brotherhood. Sit back, relax, and revel in how these seven fabulous soul brothers have grown from rambunctious young boys to mighty and valiant men.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha may be brothers by blood, given they have the same father as well as two mothers. Shuran may have an oldest sister in Toran and two younger sisters in Karan and Shunran. Hakkaku and Ginta may be proud to call each other brothers and not just friends. Ichise may be quite pleased to have two older brothers in Shinji and Hal. Kiba is just as grateful to have an older brother in Tsume, a younger brother by a month in Hige, and a youngest brother in Toboe. However, they are just as grateful to consider Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba as brothers from other mothers because their brotherhood transcends mere friendship and has sown the seeds of a deep and meaningful familial bond that would make even the closest of siblings absolutely jealous. They may be entirely different from each other in terms of their personalities, but their differences have made them realise that there is a whole lot more they share than they initially thought, thus growing stronger together, breaking the ice to discover something new about each other, and standing by each others’ sides when the chips are down. These seven fine gentlemen are also formidable fighters who are strength, might, superb combat prowess, and valour incarnate to the point where enemies would tremble at the sight of them. Furthermore, their brotherhood is quite akin to Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and Sturges’s The Magnificent Seven, given that their impeccable combat prowess is coupled with their interpersonal solidarity. They even use their strength as fighters to protect the ones they really love, and they are aware that Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza are just as courageous and strong as they are, thus giving them agency. If there is a badge of honour, brotherhood, and courage that needs to be given, it has to be given to Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba because they deserve all the salutes they can acquire, and Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza would be just as proud of them.
As young boys, 13-year-old Sesshoumaru, 12-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 11-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 10-year-old Ichise, and 9-year-old Kiba would always partake in a whole bunch of outdoor activities and martial arts sessions ranging from soccer games, basketball games, judo and karate bouts, rollerblading, and growing stronger together via their wrestling matches that would end up in huge dog piles. Inuyasha would even gather Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba to play practical jokes on Sesshoumaru, with occasions where he would be in the receiving end and Sesshoumaru would also be one step ahead of his younger brother and their friends. Whenever Sesshoumaru was doing his kata in a concentrated manner, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba would attempt to play attack him, but Sesshoumaru would pacify each and every one of them with his mad moves, thus thoroughly impressing them. In fact, what brought Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba together was their love, passion, and dedication to martial arts. Sure, they did enjoy soccer, basketball, football, baseball, rollerblading, track and field, and long jump, but they always loved the martial arts. Sesshoumaru was a blackbelt in aikido and kendo before he reached 13. Shuran was passionate about professional wrestling. Inuyasha was an expert in Pankration and Greek wrestling before he reached 12. Hakkaku was keen on Tae Kwon Do. Ginta was adamant about Muay Thai. Ichise really loved Brazilian jiujitsu, kickboxing, and boxing. Kiba was really into karate, judo, and aikido. This even got to the point where 9-year-old Ayame, 7-year-old Shunran, 5-year-old Ran, and 4-year-old Cheza always loved seeing Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba spar and practice and found what they were doing to be absolutely charming as if though they were warrior princes. Speaking of girls, Sesshoumaru was already the apple of Ayame’s eye ever since they were a whole lot younger, and he liked her back. As for Inuyasha, he and Ayame were just great friends as children and enjoyed playing basketball and soccer with each other. Shuran was always protective of his little sister Shunran because he was a lot bigger than her, and he always made sure that no other boy dare touch her other than Hakkaku and Ginta because he considered those two to be like his brothers due to the fact that he was the only boy in his family. Hakkaku liked Shunran, but Ginta and Shunran seemed to like each other a whole lot. Ichise and Kiba would always protect Ran and Cheza from anybody who dared tease them and would always play boardgames to pass the time. The seven boys’ brotherhood was definitely something that they would always treasure as they came of age.
Reaching their full-fledged teens made 19-year-old Sesshoumaru, 18-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 17-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta, 16-year-old Ichise, and 15-year-old Kiba fully aware of the responsibilities they had as fighters as well as teenage boys transitioning to men with a lot to give in the world. 18-year-old Inuyasha and 15-year-old Ayame were the first couple to end up married with 17-year-old Ginta and 13-year-old Shunran following suit. Before Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta reached 19, 18, and 17 respectively, 14-year-old Sesshoumaru, 13-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, and 12-year-olds Hakkaku and Ginta had the talk with Toga, Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s father, because 10-year-old Ayame was already showing interest for Sesshoumaru but was still very great friends with Inuyasha, while Shunran was starting show interest in Hakkaku while she thought Ginta was cute. Their father stated that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta had to learn to make responsible decisions when it came to relationships because this was based on trust and treating their partner respectfully.
In Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s side, Sesshoumaru recognised that whenever Ayame was around him, she always had to make herself really pretty to impress him. However, whenever she was around Inuyasha, she was not afraid to be herself, laugh with him, cry with him, and just revel in each others’ company. This would compel Sesshoumaru to tell Ayame that he might not be too sure that she will be happy with him when they grow up because the future seemed uncertain for them. Inuyasha was already starting to develop feelings for Ayame, thus motivating Sesshoumaru to give him a pep talk that he always knew that Inuyasha and Ayame had something special that he might not be able to provide for Ayame. Therefore, he motivated Inuyasha to tell Ayame how he truly felt about her, and maybe she would say something similar to him. Inuyasha took his brother’s advice rather hesitantly, but he finally had the gumption to tell her. This made Ayame really happy to hear that from Inuyasha, as they hugged, with Sesshoumaru watching with a small smile on his face knowing they would be happy together. Where Ayame’s grandfather was concerned he might have recognised Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s strength as Ayame’s intended through their strength and discipline as warriors and even loved both of them like his grandsons, but he always knew that Inuyasha would be the young man who was going to stay strong for Ayame, which Inuyasha was more than grateful to be Ayame’s husband. One year after Inuyasha and Ayame have been going steady in their love life, 15-year-old Sesshoumaru became the best man to 14-year-old Inuyasha’s and 11-year-old Ayame’s marriage, with Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s father as well as Ayame’s grandfather blessing their children’s holy matrimony.
Where Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta were concerned, and after one year after Inuyasha and Ayame finally got together with Sesshoumaru’s and Ayame’s grandfather’s blessing, they managed to go relatively steady, with 9-year-old Shunran realising that her whole crush on 13-year-old Hakkaku was rather silly. She at least felt much happier with 13-year-old Ginta because she could tell him anything and everything and feel like herself around him. Seeing Shunran happy is what was really important for 14-year-old Shuran, as he and Hakkaku were very supportive of them getting together. She even wanted to be engaged with him, which Ginta happily accepted because he knew he was going to be very happy with her. Additionally, InuKimi and Izayoi were very happy to know that Ginta and Shunran finally got together, although Ginta and Shunran stated that they will wait one year until they end up married. Come one year later, and Ginta and Shunran ended up happily married with InuKimi and Izayoi plus Toran, Ayumi, and Karan making sure that their marriage was beautiful and harmonious.
Ichise and Kiba did realise how much they felt for Ran and Cheza, but they were rather unsure what the future was going to hold for them. At least when Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta gave Ichise and Kiba a similar pep talk that Toga gave to them when they were younger, they made sure that they were going to support them in whatever decision they made. For the next three years, Ichise and Ran as well as Kiba and Cheza were going steady in their respective relationships and they received a lot of support from their brothers from other mothers and sisters from other misters. As Ichise reached 19 and Kiba reached 18, they finally confessed their feelings to 14-year-old Ran and 13-year-old Cheza, and the two couples happily affirmed their respective relationships, thus making 22-year-old Sesshoumaru, 21-year-olds Shuran and Inuyasha, 20-year-old Hakkaku and Ginta, 18-year-old Ayame, and 16-year-old Shunran truly happy for them. Whatever endeavour each brother had, they would always make sure that they had each others’ backs.
Reaching full adulthood ranging from their mid to late 20s to early to late 30s, with Sesshoumaru these days approaching 41 and Shuran plus Inuyasha approaching 40, all seven men have been juggling the challenges of being strong fathers to their children and, in Inuyasha’s, Ginta’s, Ichise’s, and Kiba’s cases, equally strong and loyal husbands to their wives. In Sesshoumaru’s, Inuyasha’s, Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s cases, they have also become grandfathers who are just as excited to see their grandchildren grow. Sesshoumaru’s indubitable determination, sterling stamina, and star-studded stealth never wavered with age and have become the bedrock attributes that he has incorporated as a father as well as a grandfather. Shuran’s might, huge personality, and confidence continues to bring strength to his friends and family while being a wall of support of protection. Inuyasha’s super strength, mighty muscles, and radical wrestling moves keep on growing stronger with age and have never diminished. Hakkaku’s high energy, vibrance, and vivacity remain great sources of power for everybody around him. Ginta’s charm, lovability, and kindness have aged like a sweet-smelling fine wine and will always shine. Ichise’s taciturn concentration, solid strength, and unquestionable steadfastness have always made him a trustworthy brother from another mother. Kiba’s fierce loyalty, unparalleled valour, and total endurance have certainly gone unwatered for years. Furthermore, Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba have continued to strengthen their skills in their trademark martial arts, with Sesshoumaru in aikido, Shuran in professional wrestling, Inuyasha in Pankration, Hakkaku in Tae Kwon Do, Ginta in Muay Thai, Ichise in kickboxing, and Kiba in judo, thus using them to protect their loved ones, not show off. Their sons and nephews even want to be as super strong and fiercely formidable as their fathers and their uncles, which all seven of them ensured with all of their might and heart.
Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba as well as their strong brand of brotherhood will never dissipate because all seven of them embody strength, stamina, and steadfastness in everything they have been doing from childhood to adulthood. Growing from rambunctious youths to formidable adult men might not have been easy, but their collective perseverance helped them accomplish so much in their lives.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and please continue to show more love for Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ichise’s, and Kiba’s brotherly love, everybody.

Four Fabulous Femmes Fortes
March 22, 2022 in Blogs
This screenshot motivational poster is highly Pro-Ayame, Pro-Shunran, Pro-Ran, and Pro-Cheza, with some Pro-InuAya, Pro-GinShun, Pro-IchiRan, and Pro-Kiza moments here and there, although this mainly emphasises Ayame’s, Shunran’s, Ran’s, and Cheza’s friendship and sisterhood. Sit back, relax, and revel in how these four soul sisters have grown from charming young girls to courageous and genuine women.
Nothing spells genuine sisterhood than the one Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza have with each other because they would always be there for each other to the point where anybody can perceive them as sisters. From their childhood years as neighbours having tons of girl time in the backyard as well as in the common room to their adolescence affirming the unconditional love they have for their significant others to their adulthood as women who have grown in compassion, wisdom, and courage, they cannot afford to abandon, let alone betray, the deep bond they have been establishing for years. Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza would even have a sisterhood that would put The March Sisters; Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy; from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women to shame. Ayame bears both Meg’s honour, grace, and poise and Jo’s independence, toughness, and determination as the eldest sister. Shunran possesses both Meg’s ladylike elegance, class, and grace and Jo’s feistiness, rambunctiousness, and persistence as the second sister. Ran embodies Beth’s old soul, intellect, and decorum as the third sister. Cheza incorporates Amy’s innocence, joviality, and lovability in her character as the youngest sister. Shunran may also have older biological sisters of her own in Toran and Karan, and she is just as happy to call them her sisters, but Ayame, Ran, and Cheza never knew what it is like to have siblings in their lives, especially sisters. Regardless, Shunran would always be grateful to call Ayame her big sister for life as well as Ran and Cheza as her loving little sisters, thus establishing that beautiful bond that has kept them together. Nothing is ever going to get Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza down because they will always rise together against all odds.
Their childhood would see them partaking in an array of creative endeavours and physical activities, with Ayame between the ages of 9 and 12 practicing kung fu and karate, Shunran between the ages of 7 and 10 taking part in gymnastics, Ran between the ages of 5 and 8 collecting dolls, masks, and puppets, and Cheza between the ages of 4 and 7 tending to the flower garden, under their grandparents’ watchful eyes. In fact, the love Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza have for their grandparents is what has brought them together, and their grandparents consider them to be very precious because seeing their granddaughters grow brings them joy and happiness in knowing they can be something more. Ayame’s skills in Shaolin Kung Fu, karate, and judo would inspire Shunran, Ran, and Cheza to be stronger and be more discipline whenever they are in danger. Shunran’s capabilities as a gymnast and a dancer would help keep their spirits alive through graceful movement. Ran’s fascination in dolls, puppets, and masks would spark curiosity and interest, given how one doll, mask or puppet was different from the other. Cheza’s passion for flowers and plants would make Ayame, Shunran, and Ran appreciate the simpler things in life as well as partake in garden tea parties every weekend. When it came to the relationship they had with boys; specifically Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba; they were really great friends, with Ayame having a crush on Sesshoumaru because he was cute and cool and having a strong friendship with Inuyasha, Shunran feeling safe under Shuran’s protection and having loads of fun with Hakkaku and Ginta, and both Ran and Cheza feeling safe whenever Ichise and Kiba come to take care of them. Sometimes, Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza would prove how surprisingly strong they were at such a young age by giving Inuyasha, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba a judo flip, which impressed them so much even to the point where Ginta was really charmed with Shunran. There were also occasions where Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza would giggle about Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, Ichise’s, and Kiba’s fun roughhousing because it was really amusing to see the boys giving dog piles and tackles galore. When it came to the girls’ sisterhood, they would also make a pact to never leave each other and would always comfort each other during the sad times. Since then, the four girls’ sisterhood was never going to be broken.
The adolescent years presented changes for Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza in their love lives, given that 15-year-old Ayame had been married to 18-year-old Inuyasha for four years now, 13-year-old Shunran had been engaged to 17-year-old Ginta for three years now, 11-year-old Ran was starting to show interest in 16-year-old Ichise, and 10-year-old Cheza was starting to have feelings for Kiba. This would also lead both Ran and Cheza to confide in both Ayame and Shunran about what it was like to have found themselves in loving relationships with Inuyasha and Ginta. Ayame stated that she and Inuyasha had a lot of things in common, understood everything about her, encouraged her to be herself and to never pretend, and that her grandfather always saw potential in Inuyasha to grow as a strong fighter who was going to keep her well in the good times and the bad times. Shunran also stated that Ginta was always that one guy who was both charming and courageous and always wanted what was best for her, thus doing everything in his power to treat her with respect and allegiance. Furthermore, Ayame and Shunran would deliver this particular home truth to both Ran and Cheza. Ayame once had a crush on Sesshoumaru when she was a child, while Shunran also used to admire Hakkaku and tended to go to her big brother Shuran for advice on boys. It was not until 10-year-old Ayame stated how she felt about 14-year-old Sesshoumaru that they did go out a couple of times, but they realised that they did not really know each other better than they thought. At least Sesshoumaru always believed that Ayame was meant for Inuyasha, given how many times the then 13-year-old Inuyasha would seek for Sesshoumaru’s consolation whenever Ayame was brought up. In 8-year-old Shunran’s side of the story, the then 13-year-old Shuran did try to set up a play date with the then 12-year-old Hakkaku. While Shunran thought Hakkaku was funny and charming, it was not the same with her time with Ginta. Nevertheless, Shuran and Hakkaku were very supportive of Ginta and Shunran being together. Ran and Cheza definitely learned a lot about Ayame’s and Shunran’s experiences with first love and realising the people they were meant for in terms of trust and being themselves. Ayame and Shunran reminded both Ran and Cheza that they were smart, capable, and clever girls with so much to give to the world, and they would always support them no matter what decision they made. By the time Ran hit 14 and Cheza hit 13, they finally had the gumption to admit their feelings to Ichise and Kiba. In response, Ichise and Kiba would state to Ran and Cheza that there was nobody in this world they would trust than them, thus affirming their relationship and making Ayame and Cheza proud of their sisters from other mothers. Even when it came to relationships, they always made sure to have each others’ backs.
As adults throughout their 20s to 30s, Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza had always dealt with the challenges of being wives to Inuyasha, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba and mothers to their children with open arms, which they continue to be grateful for, considering that they have become godmothers to each others’ children. Nevertheless, their sense of agency would never be diminished because they would always exude courage and compassion in and out of battle as well as with the people they are with on a daily basis. Ayame continues to be a valiant, strong, capable, and cunning warrior queen who is always ready to defend the oppressed and disenfranchised and can always send a huge punch and kick to every enemy who dares objectify her, let alone insult her. Shunran continues to be a fun-loving, mischievous, gregarious, and appreciative illusionist who can pull cunning tricks on her enemies to the best of her abilities and can exude great support to all of her friends and family. Ran continues to be a clever, articulate, composed, and taciturn healer who does her best to treat anybody’s and everybody’s wounds with medical knowledge and spiritual understanding, thus exuding compassion to those who are down-trodden. Cheza continues to be a kind, compassionate, nurturing, and sweet soul who protects the environment and heals internal and external wounds. Physically speaking, what has brought Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza as fighters has always been their penchant for Shaolin Kung Fu, Capoeira, Bajinquan, and Wushu because these martial arts have taught them discipline, focus, and the importance of protecting their loved ones from harm. Whether Ayame implements the fierceness of Shaolin Kung Fu, Shunran puts the strong mobility of Capoeira to fantastic use, Ran grabs the opportunity to incorporate Bajinquan’s accuracy when she defends herself, Cheza utilises Wushu’s flowing grace with all that she has got or all the above, these ladies can always prove to their foes that they are never to be underestimated. It has even gotten to the point where Ayame’s, Shunran’s, Ran’s, and Cheza’s daughters want to be as formidable as their mothers when it comes to defending themselves, and their mothers would always remind them that they should use the martial arts in a responsible manner. Furthermore, Ayame’s and Shunran’s nieces; including Rin, Shiori, Moegi, Satsuki, Kanna, Souten, and Ai; have always been inspired by their aunts to be just as formidable Kung Fu practitioners as they are. Not only have Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza set great examples on each other, but also their children, especially their daughters and their nieces.
Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza were, are, and all always be sisters for life. The solidarity they have for each other as fellow women and the unconditional love, support, and trust they demonstrate transcend mere friendship and elevate to the undeniable sisterhood that has defined them for many years. Challenges may come their way, but they will always overcome them with all of their might thanks to how deep and strong their sisterly bond is.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza as sisters from other mothers, everybody.

The Splendid Seven’s Friendship with The Fine Four
March 21, 2022 in Blogs, The Splendid Seven
This “What if This Character and This Character became Friends” meme originally belongs to topcatmeeces97; is dedicated to everybody who admires The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran as well as The Fine Four consisting of Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza; and everybody who might think that their friendship would transcend just being friends but part of the family. Sit back, relax, and witness how The Splendid Seven can welcome The Fine Four, thus joining forces a The Excellent Eleven.
I talked about how much Inuyasha, Wolf’s Rain, and Texhnolyze meant to me growing up in my tweens and in my teens, and it was all thanks to Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Shunran, Kiba, Cheza, Ichise, and Ran being characters I thoroughly rooted for since my younger years. Despite the varying qualities in each of these shows, it was my most favourite characters I kept coming back to. There was strength, charisma, and positivity in each of them that made them all the more infectious and inspirational. Additionally, I have been toying with the idea of having these seven yokai warriors being the greatest of friends with two main residents of Lux who thoroughly understand each other, thus having the potential to be a couple if not for their tragic fates, one wolf in search of Paradise, and his lovely flower maiden girlfriend. The result is a surprisingly warm and inviting familial bond that transcends just being friends let alone allies.
The headcanon I have for this crossover to happen commences during the time when Sesshoumaru was 13, Shuran was 12, Inuyasha was about to approach 12, Hakkaku was 11, Ginta was about to approach 11, Ayame was 9, and Shunran was 7. Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran discovered they had new neighbours from The Wolf Elder, Toga, Inukimi, and Izayoi. Those new neighbours were 10-year-old Ichise who aspired to be a great kickboxer and Muay Thai practitioner living with his adoptive adoptive parents Keigo and Mana Oonishi as well as his adoptive older brothers 13-year-old Shinji and 11-year-old Hal, 9-year-old Kiba who was an aspiring judoka living with his two older brothers 13-year-old Tsume and 10-year-old Hige, his 5-year-old youngest brother Toboe, and their adoptive parents Hubb Lebowski and Cher Degré; 5-year-old Ran who was a taciturn little doll, mask, and puppet collector living with her grandfather the Gabe Elder, and 4-year-old Cheza who was a cheery little flower collector living with her grandmother Hanabito. As Ran and Cheza were only children, The Wolf Elder would always bring his granddaughter Ayame and his surrogate granddaughter Shunran over for a visit. Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza developed a sisterly bond complete with having tea parties with Cheza, puppet shows with Ran, gymnastics and dancing sessions with Shunran, and kung fu plus karate sessions with Ayame. Ichise’s and Kiba’s great friendship with Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta developed really quickly and became the best of friends, considering the many sparring matches they have in various martial arts, soccer matches, basketball matches, and having fun dog-piling matches, especially as Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza find it really hilarious that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba are tackling each other. The seven boys and the four girls would even have a lot of playdates together in the park, the playground, recreation centres, and the waterpark their most favourite place in the world where they can go down waterslides. Their collective childhood together showed that they are the tightest of friends.
As soon as Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ichise, Kiba, Ayame, and Shunran approach their teens and Ran and Cheza approach their tweens, their friendship would still persevere but with a few changes. By the time Inuyasha reached 18, he has already been married to the 15-year-old Ayame ever since he was 14 and she was 11 thanks to Ayame’s grandfather blessing their union ever since they were little children and Sesshoumaru being just as approving of his younger brother being in a loving relationship with his former first love. In fact, back when Sesshoumaru was 15, he even encouraged both 14-year-old Inuyasha and 11-year-old Ayame to finally be together because he knew fully well that they would be happy with each other. Although Sesshoumaru was Ayame’s first crush, she figured that she was much happier with Inuyasha. 17-year-old Ginta and 13-year-old Shunran were very much engaged when they were young children and were really happy in each others’ company which made 18-year-old Shuran and 17-year-old Hakkaku really proud of them. 16-year-old Ichise and 15-year-old Kiba had a brotherhood that was just as deep as their relationships with their biological brothers, while 11-year-old Ran and 10-year-old Cheza were just as happy being best friends forever. When it came to Ichise’s and Kiba’s respective relationships with Ran and Cheza, they were still great friends, but it seems like Ran and Cheza were starting to find Ichise and Kiba a whole lot more attractive. Ichise and Ran would not start dating until three years later when he hit 19 and she hit 14, and this was the same case for Kiba and Cheza when he hit 18 and she hit 13. By the time Ichise and Ran as well as Kiba and Cheza finally affirmed their relationships as boyfriend and girlfriend, 22-year-old Sesshoumaru, 21-year-old Inuyasha, 18-year-old Ayame, 21-year-old Shuran, 20-year-old Hakkaku, 20-year-old Ginta, and 16-year-old Shunran were really proud of their four best friends and wished them well on their respective relationships. Even when Inuyasha, Ginta, Ichise, and Kiba were in varying degrees of relationships with Ayame, Shunran, Ran, and Cheza, they never forgot that romantic love was not the only important attribute that should matter, but also the interpersonal relationships they have been having with each other plus Sesshoumaru, Shuran, and Hakkaku as one big family.
Reaching their young adult to late teen years, there would be a lot more responsibilities for all eleven friends, as 26-year-old Sesshoumaru, 25-year-old Shuran, and 24-year-old Hakkaku are single fathers with adopted children growing from childhood to adolescence, 25-year-old Inuyasha and 22-year-old Ayame as well as 24-year-old Ginta and 20-year-old Shunran with young children of their own, and 23-year-old Ichise and 18-year-old Ran as well as 22-year-old Kiba and 17-year-old Cheza having infant children of their own. Sesshoumaru is a champion kendoka, karateka, judoka, Pankratist, Tae Kwon Do specialist, aikidoka, kickboxer, boxer, and kyokushin practitioner working towards his diploma to become a full-time kendo and karate instructor because it is important that children learn martial arts at a young age. Inuyasha is a champion Pankratist, karateka, judoka, kickboxer, wrestler, boxer, Tae Kwon Do practitioner, strongman, and weightlifter working towards his diploma to become a full-time wrestling and Pankration instructor, for he also enjoys giving wrestling, Pankration, and boxing lessons to his sons. Ayame is a champion kickboxer, Shaolin Kung Fu practitioner, boxer, karateka, judoka, aikidoka, jujitsu practitioner, and Tae Kwon Do practitioner working towards her diploma to become a full-time Tae Kwon Do and kickboxing instructor, given how much her daughters love having Tae Kwon Do, kickboxing, and boxing lessons with her. Shuran is a champion wrestler, strongman, weightlifter, boxer, kickboxer, mixed martial artist, and Pankratist working towards his diploma to become a wrestling and weightlifting coach for all ages because he believes that anybody can be strong enough to tackle their enemies for self defence’s sake. Hakkaku is a champion Muay Thai practitioner, kyokushin practitioner, jujitsu practitioner, boxer, kickboxer, Pankratist, and Krav Maga practitioner who is working towards his diploma to become a jujitsu and Krav Maga instructor because he enjoys the fact that children and adults alike can learn any martial art they desire. Ginta is a champion Muay Thai practitioner, kickboxer, Savate practitioner, Krav Maga practitioner, Pankratist, Systema practitioner, and mixed martial artist who is working towards his diploma to become a Muay Thai and mixed martial arts instructor, for his sons would love to learn from their father to defend their family from all harm. Shunran is a champion Shaolin Kung Fu practitioner, Wushu practitioner, Capoeira practitioner, Savate practitioner, Systema practitioner, Krav Maga practitioner, and Hung Gar practitioner who is working towards her diploma to become a Shaolin Kung Fu and Wushu instructor, considering how her daughters would love to be as graceful and fierce as their mother with the martial arts she has learned. Ichise is a champion mixed martial artist, Muay Thai practitioner, Pankratist, kickboxer, and boxer who is working towards being a paramedic and mixed martial arts instructor, believing medicine and martial arts should go together. Kiba is a champion kendoka, karateka, judoka, kenjutsu practitioner, and aikidoka who is working towards being a medical assistant in Japan’s most prestigious hospitals and kendo and judo instructor, emphasising the importance of having a healthy mind and a healthy body. Ran is a champion gymnast, Wushu practitioner, Bajiquan practitioner, Shaolin Kung Fu practitioner, and Krav Maga practitioner who aspires to be a paramedic and a Shaolin Kung Fu instructor, making it clear that balance is really important when practicing medicine and martial arts. Cheza is a champion gymnast, acrobat, Shaolin Kung Fu practitioner, Bajiquan practitioner, and Wushu practitioner who aspires to work as a nurse and be a Wushu instructor, knowing fully well that medicine and martial arts are her main passions. When it comes to having seven yokai warriors who aspire to be fine martial arts instructors and the four friends who combine medicine with martial arts, this is an indubitably great combination that enables anybody willing to learn as well as their family that they are in good hands.
Between their 20s to early 30s, all eleven friends would realise just how much their children have grown to young adults with their own passions and desires in life. 33-year-old Sesshoumaru, 32-year-old Inuyasha, 29-year-old Ayame, 32-year-old Shuran, 31-year-old Hakkaku, 31-year-old Ginta, 27-year-old Shunran, 30-year-old Ichise, 25-year-old Ran, 29-year-old Kiba, and 24-year-old Cheza may have children who have been growing up to be just as strong as their parents are, but they would still have enough strength to be defend themselves against harm and continue to be there for each other after all these long years. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran would continue to be martial arts instructors with Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza being continuously dedicated in their crafts as martial artists and medical practitioners, thus truly making it a family passion and a family business they are happy to have passed down from generation to generation.
As they reach full adulthood, all of their children would inherit that same tight friendship their parents had when they were very young which would also hold up nicely when they reach their teen years until adulthood. With Sesshoumaru approaching 41, Inuyasha approaching 40, Ayame approaching 37, Shuran approaching 40, Hakkaku approaching 39, Ginta approaching 39, Shunran at 35, Ichise at 38, Ran at 33, Kiba at 37, and Cheza at 32, they still have that strong familial bond that defined them throughout the years. What has solidified their relationship is just how much genuineness, closeness, and trust their was with these eleven friends who have always treated each other like family. Each and every one of them believe in each other and encourage each other to be the best versions of themselves. They would never give up on each other because the trust they have in each other is a whole lot more priceless than any precious metal in the world. Nothing is ever going to break their unconditionally loving bond.
The close relationship that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Shunran, Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza have as friends transcends mere friendship, as they truly are a family. What started out as fun-filled adventures as children would grow into a tighter bond as they reach adolescence and adulthood. I am never going to abandon this fine group of eleven friends which is the glorious result of an Inuyasha, Texhnolyze, and Wolf’s Rain crossover, and I can see them all lasting for a very long time. I might even adapt them in different scenarios if I want to. Whether they be in my jungle warlord AU, Inurangers AU, and/or anything that has to do with Greek mythology or anything that shows that the seven guys can be super strong and the ladies can be just as formidable as the guys, my brain is just bursting with ideas for them.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and please do not forget to show your love for Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Shunran, Ichise, Ran, Kiba, and Cheza as a wonderful group of friends akin to being a family, everybody.

Jungle Brother Battle for a Demigod’s Heart
March 19, 2022 in Blogs
This “Character Fights This Character Over That Character” Meme originally belongs to BTNFStudios and is dedicated to all of the wonderful Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan shippers, partisans, and loyalists of the world. Sit back, relax, and find out how a handsome demigod of strength Hercules would stop two jungle warrior brothers like Basuli and Tarzan from bickering, squabbling, and quarrelling over him.
There is no doubt that Hercules is Basuli’s and Tarzan’s most beloved honeybun, hubby, love god, and overall gladiator in shining armour. Both of them love him body and soul, and their love for Hercules is as deep and wide as the Aegean Sea. Complimenting this is the strong familial love Basuli and Tarzan have for each other as brothers as well as Chief Keewazi’s most beloved sons. However, just because Basuli and Tarzan are the tightest of brothers does not mean that they have their moments of hyper-competitiveness and sibling rivalry. It is expected that both Basuli and Tarzan have this loving yet competitive relationship as brothers, given how much they care for each other and challenge each other to become stronger than who they are. Basuli and Tarzan may also be of the same age, but Basuli is older than Tarzan by four months and is considered to be the first-born son of Chief Keewazi with Tarzan coming in next. Sure, George of the Jungle is the oldest son and Maugli is the youngest son, but George is more reliable as the Waziri tribe’s overseer, thus putting Basuli in the position of power and Tarzan being his most loyal adviser. Inserting Hercules into the picture in Basuli’s and Tarzan’s love life may seem interesting, but there is going to be rivalry occurring between the jungle brothers when it comes to who is Hercules’s favourite husband. Nevertheless, Hercules is always the one man who will always find a solution to this conundrum.
Hercules is not one to see Basuli and Tarzan rip each others’ limbs out for his sake because he is a respectable warrior who would never manipulate anybody and has something called standards. Basuli and Tarzan may have their fangs, claws, and muscles prepared for carnage against each other, but the whole battle for winning Hercules’s heart seems relatively futile in the long run because, as I stated before, he is not a manipulative tease. Once Basuli and Tarzan spring to action with their fangs and claws unleashed as if though they were lions on the prowl, Hercules would be strong enough to stop the both of them from wanting to kill each other with their bare hands, sharp claws, and razor-like fangs. As Hercules is no pushover, he would sternly remind both Basuli and Tarzan that he is not to be treated like a possession that both of them covet, for he is an individual with his own feelings and his own thoughts. Furthermore, he would reprimand both Basuli and Tarzan for their uncalled for behaviour and make them realise that he is not worth killing for. He loves them both because they are special in their own ways, and he would blame himself if ever Basuli and Tarzan dare kill each other because of him. Hercules is not always one to give grave ultimatums, but the one he has in store for Basuli and Tarzan is, if they choose to continue to perceive Hercules as their prize to be won, he would not be afraid to just walk out on them. Knowing the error of their ways, Basuli and Tarzan apologise to each other, hug and make up, and apologise to Hercules for treating him like their coveted prize. In return, Hercules forgives both Basuli and Tarzan and reminds them that sometimes love can make them do foolish things. At least Hercules has the magnanimity to make peace for the duration, with Basuli and Tarzan implementing that said peace. They would even reach a truce that Basuli can have his romantic moments with Hercules every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tarzan would have him ever Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sunday is when both Basuli and Tarzan can make sweet love to Hercules and have shared romantic outings with him. Hercules would agree on their plan, and it shall be set in stone for the duration.
It might seem entertaining to see two wild jungle warrior brothers like Basuli and Tarzan fight as if though they were powerful big cats such as lions, tigers, and/or leopards. However, it is neither fun nor amusing to see them want to viscerally attack each other over one man they both love. Just ask Hercules. He could expound how difficult it can be to have two powerful jungle warrior brothers fall for him and do everything they can to acquire his love. In fact, Hercules loves both Basuli and Tarzan, so, he is neither worth coveting nor being used as a trophy. At least Hercules has given them a sobering reminder that, if Basuli and Tarzan choose to fight over him again, he would leave them alone until they are ready to think about what they have done and realise that their pursuit was but a folly. It also proves that in this relationship revolving around two jungle warrior brothers in love with a demigod, Hercules is the one who truly wears the pants in this three-way relationship.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan, everybody.

OT3 Forever: Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan
March 18, 2022 in Blogs
This I Ship Meme originally belongs to adamhatson and is dedicated to all of the wonderful Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan or Basculeszan shippers, partisans, and loyalists of the world. Sit back, relax, and revel in how Basuli’s and Tarzan’s romantic relationship with their dearest and most beloved Hercules can be dynamically beautiful and surprisingly flexible.
Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan have been my animated man crushes ever since I was a child. Since I always enjoyed Hercules, Tarzan, and The Legend of Tarzan as well as how romantic love is possible with not only men and women but also between two or more men in Greek myths and Ancient Greece, I thought it would be really interesting to have Basuli and Tarzan fall in love with Hercules. There is abundant amount of virile appeal when it comes to the three-way romantic relationship when it comes to two African jungle warrior brothers hooking up with a Greek demigod, which I am sure would be great fodder for many a slash fanfic complete with man service galore. Nevertheless, Hercules’s relationship with Basuli and Tarzan is steeped in unconditional love, fierce loyalty, and iron-clad trust that has enabled them to see the best and the worst in each other without flinching, thus being their genuine selves without blame or shame.
Zeus and Chief Keewazi would be the most thankful fathers to see their sons grow from best friends ever since they were impetuous children to adults who genuinely love each other with all of their heart and are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect each other from harm. Hercules’s relationship with Basuli and Tarzan would be a steady one, as they commence as childhood friends who enjoy competing with each other in various physical activities from wrestling to swimming to weightlifting. That friendship would eventually grow into the first sparks of romantic intimacy between Hercules and both Basuli and Tarzan as they reach their teens, with Hercules at 15 and both Basuli and Tarzan at 14. By the time Hercules reached 17 and both Basuli and Tarzan reached 16, they were engaged to be married, with Zeus and Chief Keewazi blessing their holy matrimony. As a result of Hercules’s marriage with Basuli and Tarzan, he, Zeus, Hera, and the Pantheon also became honorary members of the Waziri tribe, and a feast was in order for the newly married throuple. Hercules’s married life with Basuli and Tarzan has always been excitingly dynamic, given the many occasions they would save their village from peril, use their magnificent muscles and super strength to fight off evil, and have romantically intimate moments after every battle.
Overlooking Hercules’s, Basuli’s, and Tarzan’s beautifully bulging biceps, alabaster abs, titanium triceps, fantastically chiseled features, super strength demonstrated in their various weightlifting sessions, and incomparable combat prowess in wrestling, kickboxing, boxing, and Pankration, these three warriors are also the bearers of a truly unbreakable and dynamic relationship. Hercules would always spar with Basuli and Tarzan to test their strength and endurance, especially in boxing, kickboxing, and, his most personal favourite, Pankration. Being the wild jungle brothers that Basuli and Tarzan are, they would even inspire Hercules to tap into his animal instincts in order to tackle any foe or oppressor. As Hercules once faced the Nemean Lion, he would also walk on fours like a lion as Basuli and Tarzan do as well as use his claws and fangs just like Mufasa and Simba. Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan would even be best friends with Kaj and the leopard-men of Opar, thus learning a lot from them and becoming fiercer fighters. That animal instinct would also kick in within Hercules when he makes love to both Basuli and Tarzan. Every sensual moan they make would be filled with pleasure, and it is also that lovemaking that soothes Hercules and calms both Basuli and Tarzan especially after a long, arduous battle.
With intimacy and trust playing a huge part in their romantic relationship, neither Hercules nor Basuli nor Tarzan would ever flinch at each others’ weaknesses, and lest Hercules ever think of abandoning Basuli and Tarzan. Should Hercules have any doubts assailing his mind and being, Basuli and Tarzan would always be there to assure him that he is a strong and confident man who has a whole lot to give in the world. Whenever Basuli and Tarzan go ferociously feral when provoked, Hercules would be sufficiently brave to calm them down. Therefore, there is nobody on this planet that Hercules would put his trust on than in both Basuli and Tarzan and vice-versa. This unconditional love, fierce loyalty, and boundless trust would also pass down to their family life, since Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan have been having children since they were 18 and 17 respectively. Now with Hercules approaching 51 as well as Basuli and Tarzan approaching 50, they are the proud parents of 34-year-old triplet sons Korak, Darak, and Dorak; 33-year-old twin sons Bongani and Imani, and 31-year-old twin daughters Merah and Torah as well as grandparents to their children’s teenage progeny and great-grandparents to their teenage grandchildren’s offspring. Their long line is guaranteed to last for many generations to come because their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are formidably powerful warriors and are just as strong as wrestlers, weightlifters, and overall combatants as their predecessors are. To this day, all of their progeny are blessed to know that they have three amazing fathers who have helped them forge their own paths in life and make equally wonderful families of their own too.
Hercules’s love for Basuli and Tarzan knows no bounds, and Basuli and Tarzan feel the same way about Hercules. Nothing can ever break their beautifully formidable three-way relationship.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and please show more love for Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan, everybody.

Hercules Tells Muviro to Shut Up
March 17, 2022 in Blogs
This “Hercules Tells Character to Shut Up” meme originally belongs to adamhatson and is dedicated to those who enjoy Muviro’s seething hatred as well as Hercules’s unconditional love, loyalty, and dedication to Basuli and Tarzan. Hence, this mainly revolves around Hercules’s intense rivalry with Muviro with some hints of OT3 goodness in the form of Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan or Basculeszan. Sit back, relax, and please appreciate how fiercely protective Hercules is to his sweetly beloved husbands Basuli and Tarzan against a treacherous bully like Muviro.
Muviro has always boasted about wanting to crush and strangle Basuli and Tarzan to smithereens with his bare hands, thus breaking their bones with his sheer strength, considering that they have been his hated rivals since childhood. Sure, Basuli may have been his hated rival when it came to him being the first-born son of Chief Keewazi, thus being first in line for succession, but Muviro’s rivalry with Tarzan transcends bullying and mutates into seething hatred against Chief Keewazi’s second-born son, as he lusts to not only outmuscle Chief Keewazi’s younger son but also see him destroyed inside and outside due to how different Tarzan was compared to the rest of the Waziri tribe. Fortunately for Tarzan, this is not going to happen because he has the unconditional familial love of his father Chief Keewazi, of his older brothers George of the Jungle and Basuli, and of his younger brother Maugli, Lest we forget about the romantic love of his husband Kocoum, his brother-in-law Namontack, and, most of all, Basuli’s and Tarzan’s lover/husband/protector Hercules. Hercules would never allow anybody to hurt Basuli and Tarzan, let alone either of them, because he would drop everything he is doing and guard them with all of his might, power, and life. This is also attributed to Zeus and Chief Keewazi witnessing how their sons have grown from rambunctiously impetuous youths to formidably strong men, especially since the two Waziri brothers and the Greek demigod started out as best friends in childhood, found themselves becoming a lot closer in their teen years to the point where both Basuli and Tarzan ended up engaged to Hercules, and Hercules ended up being involved in a polyamorous then polygamous relationship with not only Basuli and Tarzan but also Namontack, Kocoum, George of the Jungle, and Maugli. Although Basuli and Tarzan have as much agency as their own people as well as brothers, Hercules fully acknowledges it because he has seen the best and the worst in both of them without holding back nor flinching and would always love them with all of his heart. Therefore, Muviro attempting to off Basuli and Tarzan would be a terrible mistake, for he will suffer under Hercules’s furious fists, radical wrestling moves, and complete combat prowess, which would see Hercules throw Muviro to the ground like a rag doll.
Muviro and Hercules may be super strong warriors with incomparable combat prowess, but the one attribute that sets them apart is their character. While Muviro is all about selfishness, greed, and the lust for power, Hercules is magnanimity, courage, and self-sacrifice incarnate. Basuli and Tarzan, especially the latter, may be strong enough to stop Muviro from killing the both of them, but Hercules would deliver nearly fatal blows to Muviro that will knock him cold. Their different characters are also evident when it comes to their skills as powerful combatants. Martial artists, wrestlers, and those who partake in combat sports would be aware that self-defence is not about bragging about one’s strength to their opponents nor exuding excessive pride at one’s combat skills but the undying will to protect those who are oppressed, shield those who are in need, find balance in all walks of life, and engage in combat only when the situation is threatening, not just going headfirst into battle without even thinking about the ramifications. Muviro may be a mighty warrior with the strength of ten-thousand men, combat skills that a pro-wrestler would envy, and an iron will that screams determination and fierceness; but he is selfish, treacherous, ruthless, and xenophobic towards outsiders. Hercules, on the other hand, exudes kindness, compassion, and amicability towards his friends, his family, and his loved ones and only uses his super strength whenever danger is afoot. Considering how Hercules loves Basuli and Tarzan body and soul, it would be no surprise that he would go out of his way to protect both of them from harm. Whenever Muviro dares to kill Basuli with his bare hands, Hercules would beat Muviro up and sternly remind him that Basuli truly cares for his tribe, his father, and his younger brother and is far more fit to be the Waziri tribe’s chief than Muviro ever could. Whenever Muviro says something viscerally hateful to Tarzan, Hercules would call Muviro out on his intolerance towards Tarzan and express his unrelenting disgust at him for being so needlessly cruel to someone as kind, loving, loyal, and genuine as Tarzan. Muviro would never stand a chance against Hercules because the former does not have the same unconditional love the latter has for Basuli and Tarzan. Hercules would never want to see Basuli and Tarzan hurt, let alone abandon them, and to see someone want to destroy them would make his blood boil like a billion suns to the point where somebody like Muviro would not live to breathe another breath.
Hercules calling out Muviro’s lust for Basuli’s and Tarzan’s demise shows how fiercely loyal and unconditionally loving he is to his husbands. Behind Hercules’s warrior fierceness directed towards Muviro as he beats him until he is bruised and bloodied all over is a beautifully loyal soul who would never leave Basuli and Tarzan by the wayside. Any harm done to Basuli, Tarzan, and their family is also harm done against Hercules.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and please do not be so hateful like Muviro but keep on spreading the love for Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan, everybody.

OT3 of the Bacchanalian Jungle
March 16, 2022 in Blogs
This “OT3 Theme Song” meme originally belongs to ProjectOneAMG and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren who fancy the prospect of Basuli and Tarzan being in a polyamorous as well as polygamous relationship with Hercules. This is also dedicated to everybody who loves and enjoys the Bacchanal from the third act and second scene of Camille Saint-Saens’s Samson et Dalila. Sit back, relax, and revel in how this vivid, frenzied, and erotic piece of orchestral music is a suitable fit for my most precious OT3 of all time Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan or Basculeszan, especially when the two jungle warrior brothers get spicily intimate with their most favourite demigod of all time.
Take two African jungle brother warriors of the Waziri Tribe, Basuli and Tarzan, plus one Greek demigod born in Olympus yet raised in Athens, Hercules, and place them in the grand throne room of Opar. However, before Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan head to the main throne room, they are stripped down to wearing nothing but leopard skin speedos to flaunt their virile, muscular appeal and charm. Basuli and Tarzan even flex their muscles at each other to check if they are sufficiently firm and taut for Hercules when they make love to him. They even have a go at touching Hercules’s bulging muscles and kiss him before heading to Opar’s grand hall, where they are seated on lavish cushions fit for the mightiest of jungle emperors and are greeted by their best friend Kaj who serves the warrior kings golden goblets of ambrosia mixed with honey. Additionally, Kaj introduces his best friends to his fellow leopard-men who perform an erotic war dance for Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan.
The dance commences as each leopard-man whir in frenzied ecstasy, warlike intensity, and virile sinuousness. Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan are enjoying the sight while sipping their sweet ambrosia mixed with honey. Basuli and Tarzan take turns in passionately kissing Hercules, feeling his mighty biceps, and wrapping him in their fierce embrace. The sweet ambrosia ends up having an intoxicating effect on all three of them, as Tarzan persuades his most beloved brother older Basuli and his dreamy love god Hercules to come dance with him, Kaj, and the leopard-men. With each sinuously virile they make, Basuli and Tarzan find themselves wrapped in Hercules’s mighty arms, and they make the moves on him, with Kaj seeing how much Basuli and Tarzan love being caressed, stroked, kissed, embraced, and massaged by Hercules. The music intensifies as Kaj, Hercules, Basuli, and the leopard-men are joined together in a huge circle, their movements become more Maenad-like and feral, and they all let out grunts and roars. Kaj and the leopard-men make way for Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan who are feeling more intense, excited, and utterly pumped-up, considering how they are snarling and growling at each other as if though Basuli and Tarzan were submissive lions to Hercules’s lion king. Basuli and Tarzan sandwich Hercules with frenzied ardour and smother him with hot kisses, a tight embrace, and sensual massages that excite his senses, as they tumble to the floor. In return, Hercules passionately fondles and kisses both Basuli and Tarzan to the point where the two jungle brothers and the Olympian demigod experience a jubilantly sensual sensation after all that lovemaking, ecstatic revelry, and frenzied dancing. To say that Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan are elated is a mere understatement. They are euphorically blissful to have done this wild, frenzied, erotic dance together, considering how giddy they have become and how their cheeks give off a rosy blush drunk in the delight of their heightened romance.
As the music and dancing cease and desist, after all the erotic fun Hercules had with Basuli and Tarzan, Kaj leads the three of them to their bed chamber. All three of them strip themselves naked when they approach their bed. Hercules lies in the centre with Basuli on his left and Tarzan on his right. Hercules heartily thanks Basuli and Tarzan for the marvellous time he had with his two most beloved husbands. Basuli and Tarzan are just as grateful to Hercules for enjoying himself and for spending this wild moment with the men he truly loves. Basuli and Tarzan kiss Hercules on his cheeks then his lips, and Hercules kisses both Basuli and Tarzan on their foreheads and on their lips. The three of them fall asleep with ecstatic smiles on their faces. Hercules is a lucky man to have Basuli and Tarzan as his gorgeously sexy yet wild husbands who place their hands on his pecs every time they sleep, while Basuli and Tarzan are happy to have Hercules as their husband who cuddles them really tenderly. The night was definitely made for splendour and pleasure for the handsome Hercules and his beloved Basuli and his tender Tarzan.
I am certain you were left hot beneath the gusset with this tale that I spun for Hercules and his darling sweetie-pies Basuli and Tarzan, but this has some musical significance considering the orchestral piece I have in store for this moment. For those of you who are fans of Camille Saint-Saens’s famous grand opera, Samson et Dalila, you will recognise that the appropriate orchestral music for this scenario shall be Bacchanal of the third act’s second scene. This is where Samson is led to the Temple of Dagon, after his hair was shorn and his eyes were blinded by Dalila and the High Priest for telling them the secret of his strength, and the audience is introduced to a cavalcade of nubile dancers partaking in the frenzied revelry right before Samson is chained to the two pillars, calls upon God, has his super strength recovered, pushes the pillars, and crushes everybody in sight including himself. This exciting piece of orchestral music is in the key of D-Minor and is known for its use of percussion, wind instruments, and strings; transition from a sinuous andante to a high-octane allegro to a relatively quieter but nonetheless sensual allegro to a bombastic allegro, its melody which evokes the exotic decadence of Dagon’s temple surrounded by high priests, high priestesses, and nubile dancers whether they be men or women; and, most significantly, its breakneck speed, agility, and nimbleness which are prerequisites for every dancer, orchestra member, and the conductor themselves should bear in order to make this scene function. For that, I present you seven versions of this dance number conducted by Georges Pretre, Hans Swarowsky, Leonard Bernstein, Lorin Maazel, Sir Colin Davis, Daniel Barenboim, and Silvio Varviso. Enjoy these versions, as you imagine Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan in their semi-nude glory partaking in this frenzying dance complete with steamy passion and loads of lovemaking, especially when they are accompanied by Kaj and his fellow leopard-men.

– “Nuit d’Ivresse”, Didon (Dido) and Enée (Aeneas) from Hector Berlioz’s Les Troyens, Libretto by Hector Berlioz based on Virgil’s Aeneid, Composed between 1856 and 1858, first performance on November 4, 1863 at the Théatre de la Ville, Paris, France.
English Translation:
DIDO, AENEAS
Endlessly intoxicating night of ecstasy!
Golden Phoebe, and you, great stars of her court,
Shine upon us your blessed light;
Heavenly flowers, smile upon eternal love!
DIDO
On such a night, crowned with golden laburnum,
Your mother Venus followed the fair Anchises
To the groves of Mount Ida.
AENEAS
On such a night, headlong in joyous love,
Troilus came to the foot of Troy’s walls
To await the lovely Cressida.
DIDO, AENEAS
Endlessly intoxicating night of ecstasy!

Shine upon us your blessed light;
Heavenly flowers, smile upon eternal love!
AENEAS
On such a night, chaste Diana
Finally shed her diaphanous veil,
In the sight of Endymion.
DIDO
On such a night the son of Cythera
Received coldly the rapturous tenderness
Of Queen Dido!
AENEAS
And on the same night, alas! the unjust queen,
Accusing her lover, obtained from him with ease,
The sweetest of forgiveness.
DIDO, AENEAS
Oh, endlessly intoxicating night of ecstasy!
Golden Phoebe, and you, great stars of her court,
Shine upon us your blessed light;
Heavenly flowers, smile upon eternal love!
This piece of Tom x Lucky or Luckom fan art, which is my submission for Serpanade-Toons’s Future Fantasy Contest, is dedicated to xKeyToMyHeartx, YamiMii-Kun, squonkhunter, queenoframen, Fade–Touched, Linkatrix, solktaalik, Eidenna, Escarietson, diamond-hunter, YETI000, BlackLadySango, Keijisuke, tahiratv, TheBenAlpha, CrazyTrainFromHell, SniperM1D, DShadou, Creative-Blade99, SuperMurrio, PrincessCallyie, Yuuki-Leisa, iEevee, JFideo, RDJ1995, SasaraRH, MonsterDongHae07, Ferisae, SidabaTheToonLord, susanmaravilla, TheArtrix, TheDutchAnon, Duckyworth, Hyperfairy77, X-distroyer, Sarik-36, Evelynism, PokeySmokey, DJNetwork, DJReviews, and AlaSieRer who celebrated their birthdays ranging from a couple of weeks ago all the way up to today. So, I hope you all had beautifully exciting birthdays, and I wish you a lot of love, prosperity, joy, abundance, happiness, perseverance, and wisdom in your lives as artists and as people.
Mesdames et messieurs, I present to you Tom as Enée or Aeneas and Lucky as Didon or Dido having a romantically intimate moment together based on Berlioz’s epic opera Les Troyens. This five-act opera is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on the Trojan invasion, spanning from Act 1 to Act 3, and the second involving Enée’s encounter with Didon the Carthaginian queen, spanning from Act 4 to Act 5. Out of all the operatic excerpts, I chose the duet between Enée and Didon “Nuit d’Ivresse” because I thought this would be a suitable scenario for Tom and Lucky to find themselves in. When I first saw Tom and Lucky, I figured that they would make a nice choice for Enée and Didon, what with Tom imbuing heroism, courage, and fortitude and with Lucky being absolutely feminine, gorgeous, and just as strong. I even based their costumes of what they were wearing according to Serpanade-Toons’s clothing designs with a few twists here and there.
“Nuit d’Ivresse” from Berlioz’s Les Troyens is one of my most favourite duets in all of French grand opera history. It is also wonderful for any dramatic tenor or Heldentenor singing Enée and any dramatic soprano or dramatic mezzo-soprano singing Didon because of how their voices can blend together in this romantic duet as well as the andante tempo and the F-sharp Major key that emphasises the tragic heroes’ intimate moment together before Didon meets her tragic end due to Enée abandoning her. To quote Bugs Bunny from “What’s Opera Doc?”, “Well, what did you expect in an opera? A happy ending?”, especially if it is an opera as grand as Berlioz’s Les Troyens. Accompanying this piece of Luckom fan art are three of my favourite interpreters of this duet, respectively as Enée and Didon: Jon Vickers and Josephine Veasey, Nicolai Gedda and Shirley Verrett, Guy Chauvet and Régine Crespin, Gary Lakes and Kathryn Harries, Ben Heppner and Michelle DeYoung, Roberto Alagna and Beatrice Uria Monzon, and Bryan Hymel and Yvonne Naef. Enjoy and please let me know which version you like the most as well as which one you think is appropriate for this picture.

OT3 for Life: Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan
March 14, 2022 in Blogs
This OT3 Meme originally belongs FcoMk513-DA and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren who fancy the idea of having Basuli and Tarzan be in a polyamorous relationship with Hercules. Sit back, relax, and revel in this romantically threesome involving two African jungle warrior brothers making sweet love to their favourite Greek demigod.
Take two powerful sons of Chief Keewazi and one mighty son of Zeus and you get a sexy, manly, and gorgeous throuple that would have a beautifully dynamic three-way relationship signifying everlasting loyalty, boundless understanding, and unconditional love. Hercules would be the most fortunate man in the world to have two strong jungle warrior brothers as his husbands because he not only loves them for their strength, but he also loves them for their genuineness and fierce loyalty. Where Basuli and Tarzan are concerned, they would be eternally grateful to Hercules for being a significant part of their lives, as he is a magnanimous soul who will always protect the ones he truly loves. In fact, Zeus and Chief Keewazi would be extremely supportive of their respective sons and can see their family expanding exponentially.
Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan are indubitably powerful warriors with mighty muscles, furious fists, radical wrestling moves, and incomparable combat prowess that would make their rivals tremble in trepidation but also in sheer amazement. Where Hercules is a slightly more measured in his attacks, Basuli and Tarzan would not be afraid to go all feral, thus unleashing their fangs and claws while ending up completely naked to be bathed in their enemies’ and prey’s blood. The best attribute about having Hercules around is that he is sufficiently intrepid to calm Basuli and Tarzan down in a very soothing manner that helps them stop being so agitatedly jittery, especially when they twitch to see which foe needs a good thrashing and slashing courtesy of their fangs and claws. Given Hercules’s experience with the Nemean Lion, he would not throttle Basuli and Tarzan, but stroke them in their heads and backs to make them relaxed and blissful. Basuli and Tarzan would take Hercules’s gesture as unconditionally loving and wrap him up in a warm embrace as well as steamy kisses. This is also tied down to the unparalleled sense of trust they have in each other, for there is nobody else on this planet that Basuli and Tarzan would put their trust in than Hercules and vice-versa.
Unconditional love is the Alpha and Omega in Hercules’s, Basuli’s, and Tarzan’s three-way relationship. Hercules would never leave both Basuli and Tarzan in the dust, as he will fight with all of his strength to protect his husbands. Whenever Hercules is struck down by forces beyond their control, Basuli and Tarzan would muster up the courage to protect their husband from doom and beat any obstacle to submission. Just because Basuli and Tarzan tended to let their feral sides take hold them does not mean that Hercules loves them any less, for he will never flinch, let alone surrender. Furthermore, Hercules may be a demigod, but he still has doubts and insecurities that he has to deal with on a daily basis. Nevertheless, Basuli and Tarzan would always support Hercules in every endeavour he commits himself towards. When all is said and done, Basuli, Hercules, and Tarzan have built a super strong support system that would last from generation to generation.
Hercules’s unconditional love for Basuli and Tarzan takes courage and kindness to make them know that they are truly loved and can be trusted. The unconditional love that Basuli and Tarzan have for Hercules compels them to be fiercely loyal to him and support his every endeavour. Therefore, their dynamic relationship will never be broken.

What if Basuli and Tarzan date Hercules
March 13, 2022 in Blogs
This “What if This Character has to date That Character” Meme originally belongs to MagicalKeyPizzaDan and is dedicated to all of my friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren who fancy the idea of two strapping African jungle brothers like Basuli and Tarzan having romantic escapades with a handsome Greek demigod like Hercules. Sit back, relax, be fascinated with how Basuli and Tarzan would fancy having Hercules in their lives first as their best friend for life, eventually, as their lover, and finally as their husband, and be intrigued with how Hercules would be happy to have two gorgeous jungle brothers as his husbands for life to the point where he is blessed to be in a polyamorous relationship with Basuli and Tarzan.
This is an idea I have been also toying around for many years not only because Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan were my animated man crushes when I was a child, but because I find the idea of Hercules being paired up with both Basuli and Tarzan really fascinating, which is also attributed to romantic love in Ancient Greece being freely expressed regardless if one was a man or a woman. Furthermore, since Hercules is Zeus’s biological son, it would make sense that he had some of his biological father’s way with his life partners embedded in his genes. Hercules may have the attention of women, but there are certain men who have the hots for him, and those feelings are reciprocated. Enter Basuli and Tarzan of the Waziri Tribe who would find themselves in Hercules’s warm, caressing, and protective embrace. Although Basuli’s and Tarzan’s husbands, Namontack and Kocoum, and their brothers, George of the Jungle and Maugli, are just as smitten with Hercules, it is ultimately Basuli and Tarzan themselves that Hercules would have the most loving relationship with.
There is no doubt that Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan are superhuman strength, magnificent muscles, and incomparable combat prowess incarnate, considering that their peerless physicality is aspirational. They can put their muscles, strength, and skills as wrestlers, Pankratists, and warriors who use hand-to-hand combat as their main weapons to great use when taking down poachers, traitors, predators, and anybody who dares ravage their abode. In fact, Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan can be compared to the mightiest lions of the savannah from their physical strength to their boundless courage. Even when they are training together in weightlifting, wrestling, and bodybuilding, they always see who has the bigger biceps and who can produce the loudest roar, especially when they put their bulging muscles and roars to fantastic use almost as though Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan were lions on the prowl. Therefore, nothing can stop these powerful warriors.
Overlooking their magnificent muscles, radical wrestling moves, and rampaging roars that could give any lion and tiger a lot of envy, these three can have their tender and intimate moments. After every battle and training session, Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan would take a nice shower at the waterfall to clean themselves up nicely before Basuli and Tarzan gain the opportunity to make sweet love to their favourite demigod Hercules, and Hercules can provide his two favourite jungle king sweethearts a caressingly soothing massage with kisses and hugs galore, especially when their chamber is incensed by fragrant flowers. Hercules’s idea of a romantic evening with Basuli and Tarzan is being greeted with passionately steamy kisses from them and making sweet love to both the jungle brothers. Basuli’s and Tarzan’s idea of a romantic evening with Hercules is a skinny dipping session in the lake before drying themselves up to make love to their favourite warrior of all time. Before anybody gets too hot beneath the gusset, I would argue that their lovemaking is definitely earned because of how much Basuli and Tarzan trust Hercules with all their might and how much Hercules can see true, genuine souls in both Basuli and Tarzan. This is something that both Zeus and Chief Keewazi would immediately recognise in their respective sons, as there is a bond that transcends beyond mere comradeship and virility. It might have been planned as Hercules getting acquainted with Waziri Tribe culture, even to the point where Zeus and Keewazi arranged their marriage. However, this would grow into mutual trust between the two jungle brothers and the demigod, thus extending to truly unblemished love. There is depth in how Hercules can learn from Basuli and Tarzan in terms of surviving like a jungle warrior, thus showing how he can also have a oneness with nature. Basuli and Tarzan have an undyingly fierce loyalty towards Hercules and even show him boundlessly unconditional love. Therefore, overlooking how powerful they are as warriors, they can still acknowledge each other as human beings who can put their trust in each other. As for Zeus and Keewazi, they would see just how happy Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan are together and can sense that their polyamorous relationship could last an eternity.
Hercules is fortunate to have Basuli and Tarzan as his husbands, and Basuli and Tarzan feel the same way about Hercules. Their unconditional love knows no bounds, and I decree that their needs to be more fan art and fanfics revolving around this throuple. I am additionally so happy to ship Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan as my OT3 for life, and there is no way I am ever going to give up this romantic threesome starring a hunky Greek demigod getting it on with his most beloved jungle warrior kings as his husbands. This three-way relationship spells undying loyalty, unconditional love, and absolute sturdiness all the way through.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and please show your love for Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan as a throuple, everybody, because this precious OT3 needs more fan art, fanfics, and fan work in general.
