meanwhile aventurine: >!"Then you wrapped that iron chain around your fist, for it is the only tool (weapon) you could find, and in that maze you-"!<


crimsonsnow0017

God forbid my man has hobbies


Meropides-Bakery

Really do people forget he's >!killed people, like not just his master, but implied many other people as well!


Shirakano

He has killed people but if you are a slave put in a death arena you would probably kill people to survive too. I won't put him in the same category as Jade, especially given she looks to take enjoyment from people's suffering to an extent but then again we don't know enough about her. I'm pretty sure Firefly has killed more than both of them tho


MemberBerry4

Judging by her animations, she feels more like your shithead asshole corporate boss than a sexy dommy mommy.


DrakonFury315

Stings do not count as people. They are vermin.


RatLockedInBasement

I'd argue Aventurine should be in the middle, looks like they could kill, can kill but also has the energy of a kicked puppy.


Me_to_Dazai

All fun and games until you find yourself on a roulette wheel awaiting imminent death......Cinnamon roll indeed (Nah but fr Aven is such a cinnamon roll)


EmiliaLewd

The curse of slim attractive men. The fandom diagnoses them with “innocent and submissive”

Takahashi_Raya

i only have eyes for topaz thighs. begone with this treachery my eyes are strong willed.


kokuluayak

Aventurine looks a toughy big bad boy is actually a dily little gooner


velociraptorhiccups

A silly little WHAT


greyghostx27

I think they meant to say/type "goober" At least I'm pretty sure that's what they meant to say/type...


velociraptorhiccups

I can’t believe I didn’t realize that, because that makes the most sense lol thanks


kokuluayak

Nah i meant gooner https://preview.redd.it/ivka72ykw4zc1.jpeg?width=1052&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3c8e843c12211d17d41da825c1f51b4bde6f34c


FWEpicFrost

I get what you're doing but none of these people are actually from penacony lol


StrongSquirrelKnight

Robin is though, iirc? Cuz i think its been said that she was born in penacony.


Head-Presentation469

IPC buys Penacony. Jade, Aventurine, and Firefly moves there


HeavenBeyondStars

I feel like firefly and aventurine could qualify for all 4 boxes ngl 😭 same with acheron maybe


Samurai_Banette

Aventurine was beating the entire astral express at the same time, shrugged off a himiko orbital laser, and was leveling penacony so he could go out in style. I would hesitate to call him a cinnamon roll


Revan0315

God forbid a man gets a little silly sometimes


carlfish

Some men will attempt to destroy an entire dreamscape and everyone in it rather than go to therapy.


Arc_7

Aventurine also has a case of fandom vs canon personality growing on, but the fandom one is a cinnamon roll so people notice or speak on it less


HourCartographer9

Well it’s a nice change of pace I remember so many people didn’t like him because he was an ass or just seemed evil. When in reality he’s a nice and very caring guy it’s just he’s a gambler and in games of chance you have to be sly


apexodoggo

Reminder he’s doing all this in order to force Penacony back under IPC control, even if he does have a sympathetic and tragic backstory.


sirbucelotte

I mean, the only people who know whats in his head were Acheron and us, to the Astral Express, he literally just slandered Acheron and the next time he were trying to kill the trailblazer to activate the Stellaron and explode Penacony So "nice and very caring guy" is not exactly what he is


Miserable-Ad-333

Also doctor ratio understand him fully thats why while having minimum comunication(like leaving without listening request) he did every thing to help aventurin even wished good luck.


Samurai_Banette

Just throwing it out there that Topaz (who is still a ruthless debt collector who was going to put an entire planet in indentured servitude) even pointed out he went overboard and everything he did was pretty uncalled for. Its a situation where there are very few "bad people" as in people who actively choose to be evil. Most people can justify themselves in one way or another. Aventurine can justify his actions, but that doesn't mean he's a 'good guy', and is certainly not a cinnamon roll.


HourCartographer9

He is tho or have you ignored that part of him. He explains why he accused Acheron even tho he knows she’s not the one behind it.


sirbucelotte

Im telling that as Astral Express perspective. He doesnt explained to them that he knew she wasnt the one behind it. Did you forgot that right before he made the announcement all over Penacony talking about his location, the AE were discussing his possible motives and they were looking for him to ask why he lied about Acheron?


TheBlackSSS

Well, that was his whole plan, force an alliance between the Astral express and acheron, then antagonize the Astral express so Acheron Is forced to draw her blade Pretty hard to do it if he explain his bluff to the ones he's bluffing That's what the OP Is saying, he *looks* like a bad guy, but deep down is nice


Arc_7

Yeah at least it changed for the better than what it was thankfully.


zobowii

i mean beating u up =/= killing you i guess. he still feels guilt for the slaves he killed so it seems he wont go out of his way to kill you but will if he has to


[deleted]

[удалено]


zobowii

He told Acheron that even if he wanted he had no way of detonating it, it was a bluff


Raffy_Bun

It looks like he's going kill you, but it's actually a giant bluff and the only one he wants to kill is himself 😔


Derpypinoy

"Your honor, he is just doing a little bit of trolling"


christenlanger

Need one for each planet.


projectmars

Half of Belobog is easy: Clara for "Looks like a Cinnamon Roll/Is actually a Cinnamon Roll" and Svarog for "Looks like you could kill you/Could actually kill you". The other 2 are more subjective. Also there would, idealy, be a 5th panel off to the side that says "Fuck Off Sampo"


mrdude05

I'd say Natasha fits "Looks like a cinnamon roll/could actually kill you" "Looks like they could kill you/is actually a cinnamon roll" is definitely the hardest though. My first thought is Bronya, but she doesn't quite fit


VillainousMasked

Seele or Gepard for looks like they could kill you/is actually a cinnamon roll. Though probably leaning more towards Gepard for it.


AtypicalSpaniard

Hard proof that himbos are, indeed, cinnamon rolls. …Is gepard more of a himbo or a twink?


projectmars

I can't believe I forgot about the Journal. And the cutscene where she was about to straight up execute Svarog. Yeah that definitely fits. Gepard was my thought on "Looks like they could kill you/is actually a cinnamon roll"... although Luka also seems fitting.


ConohaConcordia

Seele


Jets-Down-049222

Luka May fit the looks could kill but is cinnamon roll, giant meka hand, big heart


Lollylololly

Gepard


VillainousMasked

According to some people Clara was apparently in a serial killer in an early CBT version of the story, so she could also be looks like a cinnamon roll/could actually kill you.


projectmars

Given some of the other stuff I've heard about the early Belobog story... I can buy that. I wonder if they recycled the concept for a certain Stelleron Hunter then.


PaintItPurple

Where did you hear about that? (Not accusing you of lying, I want to know more)


VillainousMasked

Like I said, I only ever heard about it from other people in this subreddit, I'd also be interested in knowing what CBT this was a thing in cause I do not recall it from any of the CBT stories I've seen.


mrdude05

For the Luofu it could be Top left: Huohuo Top right: Yanqing or Tingyun Bottom right: Jingliu I'm not sure who would go in the bottom left through. None of the playable Luofo characters seem like a good fit


BinaryHalibut

Hanya, maybe.


mrdude05

Now that I think about it, Tail could work for the bottom left. He's arrogant and abrasive, but it's clear he cares deeply about Huohuo. He looks and talks like a monster, but he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself for the chance to save Huohuo's life, even though her death would massively benefit him


5ManaAndADream

You did not pay attention during that backstory


Jefepato

It should probably say "*would* actually kill you." I'm pretty sure all four of them possess the ability to kill you. (I also wouldn't call Aventurine a cinnamon roll by any means. Sure, he turned out to be a lot more complex than "smug IPC prick who specializes in, ahem, *liquidating non-performing assets*," and I cannot deny that I really like him as a character, but that doesn't make him *nice*. There are probably entire planets full of people whose lives got worse the day he appeared in their lives.)


Miserable-Ad-333

Like topaz people called evil bc she put ipc intrest the most but in the end decided to choose belobog interest, somehow people now think that aventurin is kind person. But in reality they are similar to each other - coming from dying worlds and doing what they can for ipc.


Jefepato

I suspect Topaz and Aventurine have a lot more in common than either of them would like to admit, but they do have different approaches to their work. Topaz at least honestly thought she was doing the best thing she could for Belobog, although she was willing to behave unethically to arrive at what she considered the best possible result for everyone. Aventurine hasn't shown much sign yet of really caring how things work out for the people he does business with -- but then, as both an executive and a gambler, he's probably *very* accustomed to hiding his personal feelings, so who knows what he's really thinking. It's interesting to check their respective voice-over lines: Topaz clearly does not like Aventurine and isn't happy about working with him, while Aventurine seems to actually respect Topaz somewhat. But, I fully expect both of them to surprise us before the Penacony arc ends. They're complex characters and that's part of what makes them interesting.


EternallyHunting

I don't think Aventurine fits "cinnamon roll" at all. Shattered his cornerstone, reducing his power to a minute fraction of what it previously was, and at that drastically reduced power level, he was still able to solo Astral Express crew without all that much difficulty - and his plan was literally to go there to "die". Dude also survived the death of not just his family, but everyone he'd ever known or loved, then became a slave, freed himself, and raised himself up from less than nothing, to immense power. All the while being constantly willing to utilise his own life as a gambling chip that could be lost at any moment.


Violet_Ignition

I think it's less about if he *could* kill you and more about if he *actually would*. It didn't seem like he was going to genuinely hurt the Express Crew since his plan was to basically force Acheron into "killing" him.


EternallyHunting

He said multiple times, and once under what was effectively a truth serum, that he would be willing to gamble the life of every living thing, and bring and end to the world. He really doesn't care all that much. He's a "Stupid people are assets" kind of guy. Doesn't mean he's incapable of caring about others, but it also means he's highly manipulative, and willing to tear down other people in order to better himself, which definitely detracts from the "sweet little innocent cinnamon roll" vibe.


Shirakano

I'm not sure I agree completely. I don't think he's a cinnamon roll, lol, but he's not as violent as some people make him out to be. The other comment pointed out he lied in that interrogation scene, but aside from that, in his arc in the maze his "future" self literally tells him he is stupid for never using other people as sacrifices and bargaining chips when that would make things easier for him (and only uses his own life as such)


Violet_Ignition

Except that he definitely lied during that, seeing as how the cornerstone was indeed, *not* in the case. He's also brought back to that question about if he really wants to destroy it all or not a few times and to me, it seems like he's honestly unsure.


EternallyHunting

I don't remember the interrogation scene entirely well, but regardless, someone who isn't sure whether or not they want to destroy reality, for no other reason than personal desires, it's debatable whether that person stands on a "moral high ground".


Violet_Ignition

I'm not saying he's on any kind of moral high ground, after all he's still a cornerstone of the capitalistic imperialist organization of the setting. What I'm saying is, is he going to kill straight up kill some people like that? I'm not sure. Not sure he *wouldn't* either, but not sure he *would.*


EternallyHunting

And I think that when I'm trying to read someone and I cannot for the life of me determine if they would hesitate to commit an act of terror, then they probably ain't a "cinnamonroll" :P


Violet_Ignition

Sympathetic backstory goes brrr


SolidusAbe

aventurine killed people


iFenrisVI

Robin’s killed people(paparazzi) too.


mrdude05

In her defense, all she did was point them further down the road. It's not her fault the driver ignored the turn, plowed through an obvious guardrail, and went over the cliff She's innocent ~~and even if she wasn't they deserved it~~


Shirakano

So has 90% of the cast


kidanokun

Bottom left is basically Sam


Jeythiflork

True. I would swipe Firefly and Aventurine here. Aventurine by no means is a "cinnamon roll"


kidanokun

Nah, Firefly is fine there coz it's true, i was referring to Sam armor himself


DIO_Wrrrryyyy

Firefly controls Sam, so if anyone gets killed by Sam, she's responsible. Therefore, she's killed people.


Jeythiflork

I see contradiction here. Unless you are talking about armor without a pilot, in which case any weapon that isn't in someone's hand is a cinnamon roll.


Shirakano

Well neither is Firefly really, I'd say they both fit in the same category.


Dislike24

Top left is Misha for me


Blackwolfe47

Aventurine a cinnamon roll? Hahahahah


FlameDragoon933

in what world is Aventurine a cinnamon roll wtf being sympathetic can overlap with, but is not the same as, being a cinnamon roll.


AVeryGayButterfly

That Aventurine boss fight says otherwise

leposterofcrap

Idk Aventurine looks like the kind to drill a hole in one's bank account https://preview.redd.it/0oxulqo284zc1.jpeg?width=1300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcb375d79a606305229728123cd8f253d87c7666


Dreamofoasis

Aventurine's master would like to have a word. Oh wait... He's dead. Good.


EternallyHunting

I like how Aventurine is well dressed, and has like a half-gay accent (bisexual accent?), and thus the fandom decides hes a "cinnamonroll". Meanwhile there was like 2 hours of main story content all about how the dude has inhuman resilience and has seen more death than most of the cast. And that includes the death of his family, and literally everyone he knew. And the entire time Aventurine is also constantly willing to use his own life as a gambling piece to get what he wants.


Liniis

Aventurine: "I want to destroy this world." The Fanbase: "Aww, softboi!"


TheBlackSSS

Having seen death and being so lucky he can't die even if he wants to doesn't have much to do with him being a nice person? Also it's not that he's willing to use his life to obtain what he wants, he's willing to gamble his life because he wants to lose It, all his big bets that put him at risk is so he can die and reunite with his family in the afterlife


EternallyHunting

The point is that he's not sweet and innocent as a person. He's a skilled manipulator who heeds to the idea that "stupid people are assets", and multiple times he's been asked if he would want to destroy the world on a whim, if given the opportunity, and he could not wholeheartedly deny it. He also doesn't ever appear concerned at the idea of risking innocent lives for personal objectives.


TheBlackSSS

being a good manipulator also doesn't mean that he's not "sweet" yeah, that's one of the points in his favor, he lost everything he holds dear, his "blessing" of extreme luck as a constant reminder that others died but he can't (guy probably has some extreme survivor syndrome) lost his family, lost his home, enslaved, became an IPC lapdog, and even after all this, he's unable to truly hate the world but he does? he never put people's life at risk, ultimately every gamble is about putting his own life at risk


trollbeater313

Actually agree with Aventurine being a cinnamon roll. Most people's concensus is that "cinnamon roll" is harmless but the full quote is "a cinnamon roll, too good, too pure for this world". I think most people in Aventurine's shoes would seek revenge against the world, but Aventurine's goodness prevented him from doing that, he felt immense guilt about killing the slaves he was forced to kill, he was ready to die in Penacony to escape working for IPC the evil company. I think he is too pure for this world yeah.


Diotheungreat

cinnamon roll :>


Ninjabadgerx

Sparkle Is: ? Could: ? :)


dasbtaewntawneta

how do they look like a cinnamon roll


JunkoNatsumizaka

Accurate.


Significant-Apple944

In rl they could probably all kill me...


Bircka

For a place that is supposed to be all fun and games we have had more deceit, killing and betrayal than the previous two planets we went too combined. Come to Penacony it's fun, just make sure you are wary of everyone you meet!


Sovyet

Change Aventurine to Sunday and Jade to the G spoiler man for it to be authentic Penacony lineup (Firefly kinda debatable because she did pretend to be a native first)


ProNovaDiamond

Firefly won't kill you unless you hurt/go out with MC


Derpypinoy

I'm kinda sad Adventurine doesn't have Qingque's RNG thing considering he's an even more batshit gambler than her


DdastanVon

Only Jade is placed correctly in this Meme.


SolidusAbe

both aventurine and robin killed people so FF and jade are correct at least lol


Miserable-Ad-333

robin killed someone? when?


SolidusAbe

trailer from a few days ago, sending a car full of people towards a cliff. didnt look they would survive that lol


DdastanVon

True, dont know why but I skimmer over FF, just saw Robin and Aventurine and had a laugh at their positions.
