Bsd Iceman - Blog Posts

idk, but Iceman is always “enlarged” next to Chuuya, most likely because he is the only one who can kill Chuuya. Remember this frame with Iceman towering over the corpse of a sheep

I swear to you, that rack of liquor behind Iceman is enough to pay for my life twice over.

One of the possible prototypes of the Iceman is the American writer Eugene O'Neill.

Eugene O'Neill is an outstanding playwright of the 20th century, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936.

One of his most famous plays is "The Iceman Cometh".

In this play, a group of tipsy men gather in a saloon. Each of them experiences his own tragedy and suffers from disappointment. The only way for them to feel happiness and satisfaction is to get drunk and spend time in the bar.

However, Theodore "Hickey" Hickman soon appears, joyfully announcing that he no longer drinks, and encourages others to do the same. As the story progresses, Hickey becomes more and more insistent, desperately demanding that others follow his example, seeking to save them from disappointment.

His influence spreads to other characters, who begin to confess their sins and accept reality. It is implied that the only fate for the men left in the bar, stuck in their delusion, is death.

The gist of the story is that death comes to everyone, regardless of their attempts to escape reality. The character of Hickey represents the Iceman and death, encouraging people to strive for unattainable dreams in the hopes that failure will force them to face reality.

Iceman, as one of the Mafia's top assassins, also represents death.

Additionally, Hickey, who came to the bar, is acutely aware of the main conflict of each person there. Iceman is also able to detect and sense the activation of others' abilities, since in BSD, a character's abilities always reflect their main conflict.

To sum it up, it is obvious that since the Flags and Iceman in particular had no goals or dreams outside of the Port Mafia, their fate was predetermined - they were destined to die in the Port Mafia.

I take that theory from https://t.me/Lippmann_Altar

Trying to figure out names for the flags (I’m writing a highschool au and need them to have normal names)

So Lippmann is Walter Lippmann- apparently Chuuya (irl) knew a guy who was a pianist who might’ve been an inspiration for piano man???? And I saw someone say Albatross is Charles Baudelaire. I’m still looking into those two though.

If yall knew anything PLEASE TELL ME

One of the possible prototypes of Doc is the writer Michael Crichton.

John Michael Crichton is a relatively modern American writer, so I have some doubts.

Michael Crichton received his medical education at Harvard Medical School. Doc also received his higher medical education in the USA.

One of the genres in which Crichton wrote his books is "medical fiction", which further leads me to the idea that he could have served as a source of inspiration for the creation of Doc.

Michael's most famous work is the novel "Jurassic Park". This may be due to the dinosaur that one of the Flags (obviously Doc himself) used in the battle with Adam. Perhaps this dinosaur was a dilofrosaurus.

According to the book "Jurassic Park", the dilofrosaurus venom contains seven toxic enzymes. According to "Petrel", it was with the help of poison that Doc killed 800 people.

In Japanese, poison is "毒" (doku), which sounds similar to the character's nickname, which could also support the theory.

I want to read it so bad y'all 😭

I dunno where to read it though, might look it up and see if my local bookstore has it

The Flags

Guess who read Storm Bringer, and guess who needs therapy... 😃

I'm thinking about a Alive! flags AU, and I'll add this trio in my list of headcanon. I already have a lot of ideas.

You know what's actually insane?

That for a very short time the Port Mafia had Iceman, Kouyou and Oda in it's ranks. Imagine what a trio they would have made if we had ever got to see them interact.

Forget Soukoku, Mori should have attempted to make this team up happen. He should have ushered in an age of deadly assassins instead of arranging play-dates for his problem children.

I know Oda has his no killing rule, but, shhhhhhh, he wouldn't have to kill on their missions, Iceman and Kouyou can take care of that part.

EDIT: Okay, I've been informed that they weren't all in the mafia at the same time, instead, Head canon! Wouldn't it be insane if they all were in the mafia at the same time

“Six tickets to Barbie, please!” 💕

Barbenheimer reference?

"I didn't do much," said the guy who did half the work

Looking at Iceman in the new Storm Bringer chapter I am suddenly struck with the headcanon that Hirotsu was his mentor, and I don't understand how I didn't see this earlier.

It's not just the outfits, which are very similar (I'm definitely headcanoning the scarf was a gift from Hirotsu now) but also their body language now we can see it.

I mean, look at their introduction panels next to each other.

"No I can't stand with the group, I've got to go smoke and look cool and mysterious in the corner"

Hirotsu's monocle being over the same eye as Iceman's scar.

Iceman's hair being pushed back like he's trying to imitate Hirotsu's style.

What if Iceman's sixth sense for when someone is about to activate their ability and talent for making anything into a weapon comes from the fact his mentor's ability was being able to repel anything thrown at him?

They are the coolest people in the mafia and they know it

Me seeing the flags in the new stormbringer manga chapter:

Only one chapter of the Stormbringer manga has been released and I'm already in pain

The calm before the storm i guess

The Flags

Guess who read Storm Bringer, and guess who needs therapy... 😃
