Dbs Angels - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Sorry :"D Oh shit, I was trying to think of and think through an extension of my thought [angels dbs "eldritch space creatures" that Zeno called Leviathans (that's not the biblical fire-breathing sea serpent that's usually in legends) just because it sounds cool and intimidating, also something rare and powerful] (although the leviathan form from Final Fantasy looks interesting, I admit) I mean the angels' actual cosmic form is an indescribable shit, galactic cosmic shadowy "mass"? It changes constantly (also at their will), can open a large number of eyes over on body and around body, forms the likeness of an animal's paws and tail??? A real brain and eye game. We need to think about this a little more so we don't turn the Angels into Marty Sue.
Gods of destruction sometimes see the true form of angels, and even if they've been familiar with it for a long time, somewhere deep inside themselves their brains react to it as an unholy creepy horror that transcends time and space and it all the same partially scares them
Perhaps I've taken too much for this, and should I just write "stellar shadow mass/stellar shadow body or astral mass" without details in my possible fanfic so readers can imagine for themselves what angels are?
lol, even I can't explain the visual appearance of angels properly, It seems that this is how it should be And lol, the 2Universe thinks the leviathan Daishinkan is very beautiful, it looks funny. It's literally Heles squinting at the GP's "form" trying to see the details, comparing it to Sour open form and just going: "well, I don't know what's in front of me now, but I'll admit that your father looks handsome and elegant"
What I would say that having some details revealed would be good to show more of the mystery of the Angels' appearances. So to introduce them as "stellar shadow mass/body or an astral body" with some details such as physical features (e.g. many eyes, many hands), an aura or how their eldritch form effect the environment for example, does their appearance make it much colder, the objects became blurrier, another dimension could be made so it does not damage parts of the universe? "It changes constantly (also at their will), can open a large number of eyes over on body and around body, forms the likeness of an animal's paws and tail??? A real brain and eye game." is a perfectly fine description of the angels' appearance, I got chills reading that, you got this.
Teasing the reader with an established base like this so their imaginations about the Angels' appearence can fly. If the destroyers/hakaishins could barely comphehend and handle the Eldritch form, it is beyond what a mortal could understand, their lifetime is not enough to understand the small percentage of it.
What could also help is to explore how their appearence impact others and what are the others' feelings about it. Like at least the destroyers won't go too mad with power over their universe and subjects in that universe/domain and don't get too far as the image of the angels true form in the back of the mind. It's perfect that is to prevent destroyers seriously fight to the death.
I believe the Angels can have multiple forms developed over millions of years and some, billions of years, perhaps they could still form their new ultimate form, hidden away unless ordered by Daishinkan and Zeno to reveal it or allow them to use it in some circumstances.
One of my idea of their true form is they are a host of multiple deities under their control, most of them are former destroyers when they retire from their duties. Longer the angel been in duty as a guide angel, more of the former destroyers they collect and inherit their abilities as well, as part of the ritual of how the mortals become the destroyer. The exception to that is when the destroyer gets killed or get erased by the Grand Minister/Zeno that is when the angels deactivated and will not able to collect any more destroyers, they keep what destroyers they have in their form. An interesting bond for an exchange for godhood. That explains we don't see any former destroyer around.
You are right it's hard to describe the visual appearance, it's truly beyond us hahaha. Oh yeah, Heles after meeting leviathan Daishinkan may or may not forget next time she sees him and her universe could adopted some leviathan elements in her universe, Sour approves xD

For the angels that has a non-pun name
...which is a few of them (Korn, Sour, Campari*) I wonder if they are less likely to use puns themselves in language or suggestions in naming things and likely their destroyer didn't take any their suggestions and name themselves before officially becoming a destroyer. Weird hc but in a nutshell: In angels, the ability of making puns is mostly hereditary and decided by the Grand Priest/Daishinkan. *I'm not entirely sure if Campari is Campari or Camparri like the wiki says, I use Campari because of the katakana used for his name.
Exploring the angels and the destroyers names if they match to any alcoholic categories
Introduction:
As we know it, the angels and destroyers names are a pun from alcohol/alcoholic drinks, this exploration was inspired by an ask I received some time ago (and I will answer that very soon, considering I finished my research for that.). I did this investigation to explore part 2 of that ask, I will link this post up when answering the ask.
In that section of the ask, it mentioned about if the destroyers were named after the same alcoholic category which their teacher and angel’s name belong to. I did it this way (angel-destroyer) because of an implication of the angels were always there and established before the current destroyers. (For example if Toppo became a destroyer in Universe 11, it was extremely likely Marcarita will remain as an angel of Universe 11 and now as Toppo’s official angel/teacher, sure she can be replaced when Belmod retires but that is inconvenient for angels to be replaced every time their destroyers retires for logistic reasons)
That had me thinking, was there any existing examples of the angels and destroyers names being in the same alcoholic categories and I give assumptions at the end to answer why this is often not the case.
Categories
I will use this word a lot. What categories counts here? The broad category which is liquor, wine and beer. For example if there is an angel called Moscato and the destroyer called Pino (after Pinot Noir), their names inspired by the wine drinks will belong to the broad wine category, but both won’t have a specific category because that is where the similarities ends as one is a red wine (Pinot Noir) and another one is white wine (Moscato).
The specific category if one pun name drink is a type or an ingredient of the another pun name drink so if Pisco is an angel and their destroyer is Arma (after Armagnac Brandy), their broad category is liquor and their specific category is Brandy as both are type of brandy. A specific category shows a much closer link to the names, could imply an inspiration from the angels for such destroyers to name themselves closer to the angel’s alcoholic name category.

The Findings:
Out of the 12 universes, only six universes of the angels-destroyers names belongs to the same category, the broad liquor category was the most common, shown in Universe 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10. Universe 12 does show the liquor category as well but theirs is an exception as there is a much closer link to their names, as Gin (Geene) is a liquor also an ingredient and a component to a classic Martini (Martinu). This is the only example of a specific category.
Why in some universes, there are no matching names or names in the same categories for the deities
The rest of the universes (1, 2, 6, 7, 9 and 11) deities did not have a match of their names in any categories.
The main part is clear, whatever the reasons or factors, the Grand Zeno and Daishinkan approves of this showing the names matching in the same categories is optional, not compulsory.
Perhaps a long ago, the names of angels and destroyers belongs to the same alcoholic categories, broad or specific but Grand Zeno wanted variety and breaks some patterns.
Or it is out of the free will of the destroyers to name whatever they like regardless if it got a close link to their angels’ names or not. This is interesting to me because I got a headcanon that the angels names are chosen by Daishinkan whilst the destroyers can choose themselves or their angels’ suggestions. This shows the difference in status and subtle display of power (of choice) the destroyers has.
The joke wasn't really thought out, it was just for fun.
angel names formed from alcoholic beverage puns?
A little headcanon to consider if Daiishkan has more than the stated 13(18) children
Imagine that they were at some point defined into “domains” as a semblance of...Umm, what's the right name for it? “Family houses”?
But Daishinkan literally created a bar catalog “menu” based on his children's names and assigned them to Domains.
(Angels of WINE domain) This domain includes angels named after different wine brands.
For example: “WINE” domain —-> subclass red wine (pun names of red wine variety)/white wine (names of white wine variety) and so on
(Angels of the VODKA domain)
(Angels of the "COCKTAIL" domain)
And so on. What I mean is that even if the angels were born at different times and belong to different epochal generations, they will be defined in the same domain. Because their father likes to have fun. For example a 1st generation angel named “Chardonnay” from the Pink Wine variety, and a 4th generation angel named “Cortese” from the Pink Wine variety go into the same domain “WINE” of the" Pink Wine" subclass.
Or an even funnier thought!
I think if there were only 12 angels here. (Sorry, it's just that these dudes are already named like basic alcoholic beverages.)
The name Vados? - It's vodka. And the gods of destruction under its tutelage are called by names derived from the brand of vodka. (Arak, Maotai, Schnapps, Enzian)
(If, for example, Mojito doesn't have separate types and names for such a cocktail, its gods could be called by the names of the altered ingredients).
But And as it seems to me, then All-King Zeno will change the gods' name game so all they don't get even more confusing.
We love fun ideas and jokes here, as well as reading this idea of yours, OP. Daishinkan holding his menu which is his archive of his children/angels, organised by categories, just like a drinks menu on Planet Earth is a genius idea, OP, chef's kiss to you on this headcanon. Daishinkan and Grand Zeno can look the menu and pick a name where a hologram of their face and information comes up if Daishinkan and Grand Zeno uses a term to see if the angel had done something recently or in the long past.
Mini Headcanon 1: Alteration to the menu: ------------------------------------------------- Daishinkan uses the menu to add a new angel's name and identity to the menu. Unfortunately for Merus, his name is crossed off from the menu and will be erased when Merus will die as a mortal.
Deactivated angels are still on the menu, they do still exist (e.g. the future counterparts of Angels from Future Zeno's timeline) There is two ideas I have to what happened if the angels names who used to belong to erased angels or an angel turned mortal: 1) Either the names will be available and get reused after a long period of time to newer angels who need names. 2) These names of erased angels and disgraced angels are written in a secret list that it is in Daishinkan''s possession. The names on the secret list will never be used onto to an another angel. Daishinkan will look at the list, spare a thought about them or two before going with Grand Zeno to name a new angel, not using those names from the list. Main Headcanon 1: The Angelic Alcoholic Taxonomy and Classification of Drinks Categories ----------------------- OP, you gave me a wonderful idea and I am happy to give my interpretation of it, if I misunderstood at any point of this ask, feel free to correct me. Daishinkan is smart to make sure the angels are not separated by generations because it is important for the angels to foster good, cordial relations and the angels checking on each other to make sure they are doing well in their duty.
This Angelic Alcoholic taxonomy is based on the existing taxonomy (biology) with variations, the word domains from the question made me think that, and family houses, I think that is an excellent way to categorise the angels. Disclaimer: I use liquor and spirits interchangeably, they mean the same thing. I didn't take account of alcohol proof. This format is extremely simplified, I acknowledge exceptions exists and some drinks will not follow the format. Alcohol is a broad subject, especially for researching.
The angelic alcoholic taxonomy format: Domain/Realm: Angel Sovereign/Division/Dominion: Order/House: Group/Category: Subcategory/Variation: Brand (if applicable): With general examples provided and one filled example: Domain/Realm: Angel Sovereign/Division/Dominion: Beer, Liquor/Spirits and Wine (only those three) Order/House: (e.g. Cocktail, Rectified Spirit, Whiskey/Whisky) Category/Group: (e.g Martini, Irish Whiskey, Grappa) Subcategory/Variation: (e.g Snakebite & Black, Dry Martini) Brand: Yes/no Jack Daniel's (with a pun name for this angel): Domain/Realm: Angel Sovereign/Division/Dominion: Liquor House: Whiskey Group/Category: Straight Whiskey Subcategory/Variation: Tennessee Whiskey Brand: Yes Chartreuse: Domain/Realm: Angel Sovereign/Division/Dominion: Liquor House: Liqueur Group/Category: Herbal Liqueur Subcategory/Variation: Chartreuse Brand: No Trying with an existing angel e.g Awamo, a pun from Awamori: Domain/Realm: Angel Sovereign/Division/Dominion: Liquor House: Rice Spirits Group/Category: Awamori (there are some debates of Awamori classify as a type of Shochu, which it can be considered but Awamori and Kusu in general is different from other types of Shochu)
if Awamori was counted as type/category of Shochu, the format will be: Domain/Realm: Angel Sovereign/Division/Dominion: Liquor House: Rice spirits Group/Category: Shochu Subcategory/Variation: Awamori
Explanation about the taxonomy I personally use the idea of domain little differently here, because I base domain as in the domain in taxonomy. I believe the place where the angels originate is from an angel realm, and they are only beings there confirmed, there is nothing else but angels. The domain can be different if Daishinkan and Personification of Creation and Grand Zeno might create something besides angels, that possibility can be open. Sovereign/Division/Dominion is a little easier to explain as there is three broad categories of alcoholic drinks, wine, beer and liquor/spirits plus there are many houses under these dominion/division to handle many angels of many generations. House, yes I used for idea for family houses, OP, it was really good. Plus I also imagine sister houses where two or more houses can create an alliance or compete or do some activities together.
Group and other categories down the alcoholic taxonomy is to cover any variation of specific alcoholic drinks. Mini Headcanon 2: Daishinkan uses puns, could imply he is fond of puns and the usage of puns. -------------------------------- Daishinkan likes puns, it is in 75% of his Angels' names, that includes some generations of angels could have a higher proportion of non-pun names compared to other generations but pun names are still very popular. I will answer the other part in the another post I will tag you because this post is very long. Thank you for sharing your delightful headcanon which inspires me to do research and think creativity about the angels, destroyers and any subjects related to them. Part 2 of this ask about the only 12 angels idea is answered on a separate post, click this sentence here to see it.
Part 2 of the names ideas ask
Part 2: The only 12 angels inspires their destroyer's names idea Context from @bloghyperfixes ask: I think if there were only 12 angels here. (Sorry, it's just that these dudes are already named like basic alcoholic beverages.)
The name Vados? - It's vodka. And the gods of destruction under its tutelage are called by names derived from the brand of vodka. (Arak, Maotai, Schnapps, Enzian)
(If, for example, Mojito doesn't have separate types and names for such a cocktail, its gods could be called by the names of the altered ingredients).
But And as it seems to me, then All-King Zeno will change the gods' name game so all they don't get even more confusing.
If there were only 12 angels due to Daishinkan's will, the names would be broad for sure to help the idea that the angels' students/future destroyers can be named after the teachers they trained under, hence it would be easier to tell which destroyers belong which angel.
I do love that idea and in some alternative universe/dimension, this can be possible.
The question is if Vados is named Vodka or a pun name of Vodka in this AU, does that mean Champa himself can be named after a type of vodka or a brand, maybe likely he would be called Maotai. Not a direct link because the Chinese word for cat (which Champa is a kitty) is 猫 (mao in the first tone) and Mao in Maotai is 茅 (mao in the second tone) but maybe Vodka (Vados) would think of that for her destroyer before the naming ritual.
Also variation of basic alcoholic drinks could work in this idea, for example with Martinu, there is dry (martini), sweet (martini), perfect (martini) and wet (martini) and even dirty (martini), which I think Martinu would name her destroyer after those variations because it's funny but considering the existing example with her and Giin/Geene, that one is perfect because Gin is a ingredient/base to a Martini. Context about the existing example
Lol Mojito would have a fun time, naming them after altered ingredients as he thinks his destroyers are not worthy to have an alcoholic drink name (so he didn't name any destroyer after rum, rum is the main alcohol for a traditional mojito).
That's right, Grand Zeno would do that, they want to have some fun after all.
A silly headcanon of mine is that anime version of Mojito after the universes were revived that was erased during ToP saga handed in his resignation notice, letter (?) at that null realm broken arena and left for the angel realm permanently. Makkora (a canonically concept art angel) replaced him as new angel for the 9th Universe.
I know it is to do with Camparri’s appearance that I sometimes can’t unsee him as a former choir boy or an opera singer, and Cognac plays the piano weirdly in his own way whenever Campari sings that he hams the piano. I like to think that Camparri and Cognac pranks each other sometimes, like this video for example of part of their dynamic is like:
Heeeere another gift draw!
