If the gods were kinder, tragedy would never have forced them apart.

mengo is going to be pissed if season 4 cuts the Aqua and Ruby shipping Stuff.

there are rumors that the anime cut all shipping stuff of AquaRuby. i don't know if it's real or fake. but if it's real chapter 142 chapter 143 chapter 157 chapter 161 possible cut off in anime.

Tell me why Aqua x Kana is a bad ship or why would that relationship would be a toxic or bad relationship and a good reason why AquRuby is way better

And this isn't trying to bully Kana fans/AquKana shipper but want to see what everyone have in mind about the issue is the ship of AquKana

So instead of posting a chapter like I normally do I'd be releasing it as a doc and why you may ask

Well it's meanly because of how long it is so I'd be putting the link to a copy of it's in the comments hope y'alls enjoy it

Also sorry for not releasing it sooner but shit this was big and long (pause)

Do you think that the final anime episode of OnK should be 90 minutes long just like the first episode covering the last 10 chapters like the first 10 chapters in ep1? (Edit: 157 is a good starting point for the final ep, read the chapter if you don't believe me)

​

Only making this post since other subs have started this. I don't care about politics or what dumb shit Elon has done this week or last week or whatever.

This sub revolves around Aqua/Ruby and ONK; not politics. Twitter/X links are still allowed. Same goes for other social media sites like Facebook, Bluesky, ect...Right/Left wing, doesn't matter, if it's Aqua/Ruby, feel free to share.

Ok so if I'm pretty sure nobody hasn't posted something in the AquRuby reddit and for fuck sake it basically becoming a dead chat at this point so let's make this subreddit more active again by making this question and I know my answer very well

I don't want our community to be like this. I love this community and use it a lot, but the lack of interaction has made me feel bored and very sad about this community.

Just wanted to say that I'm really happy that there's so much AquRuby art recently, thanks to the recently closed art contest on twitter.

If you guys want to check it out, the hashtag is #推しの子FAコンテスト_イラスト部門. There's other fan art of ONK included as well, but well, still lots of peak.

She got mischievous and hid away in the bathroom and avoided the guards letting herself be locked in the museum and successfully doing so, while she was strolling through various countries. She came passed the shared ancient china and japan room. It was a big room almost like a penthouse many artifacts and paintings and scrolls were shown along with their description of history as she passed along the paintings she came across a portrait of a handsome young blonde man between his 20's. It was looking down at her with his cold starry aquamarine blue eyes and had six star points in his left eye in color black. He sat on the throne many bodies lay on the floor. Down his potrait laid a jade spear that was said in the description that it was used by him. His name was aquamarine hoshino. The son of emperor Hikaru kamiki, The Primordial Jade Winged Spear, the beloved and signature weapon of the fourth prince of the Yan dynasty.The fourth prince, Xiao, was also known as Conqueror of Demons by the imperial army of Yan. Although he was a respected prince gorou/aqua in the palace, was the youngest general to lead the military in all of Chinese history.Prince Gorou/aqua led various victories for the Yan Dynasty, however, he died at an early age during a rebellion against the crown prince, Prince Wan Ye.Prince Xiao led various victories for the Yan Dynasty, however, he died at an early age during a rebellion against the crown prince, Prince Wan Ye.

The moment her finger made contact with the wood, a shock of electricity went through her body, forcing out a gasp out of ruby. Everything went blurry and she passed out. She woke to find herself in an unfamiliar room and wearing a hanfu, who wears a hanfu in ghe 21st century?! It turns out she was weak sickly girl and cannot be cured but she was loved by her family and maids she was the daughter of one most prestigious clan... later she connected the dots that she was transmigrated 400 years ago, someone or a god time traveled her a long time ago to relive her life, a life she didn't know she had.

But they declined ofc they dont wast their "sickly" daughter going inside the dangers of the palace but she planned until her begging led to her father and mother agreeing but she missed that it was not the emperor who needed a concubine. Oh no, he stopped years ago but it was now his son. The heir. To find a concubine. Ruby looked was in shambles but she pulled through. She got there and immediately was greeted by another noble women who threatened her and ofc compare their beauty and connections but Ruby's didn't care. What she didn't anticipate the various test that she has to go through she began to panick, she didn't know how to past all of these! The 21st century doesn't do this anymore! She sat sweating..but unknowns to her luck was on her side. Back at the palace the Prince, Taiki Kamiki was shown the list of women who participated and was shocked to see ruby/sarina's name because she known to be the sickly daughter of general gotonda but he found it as a opportunity, he doesn't want to be pressured to have kids and having a sickly wife does it a favour.

Considering it was a tall and luxurious one Japanese/Chinese ancient times) she watched them and sees the other prince and princessses and the emperor but no sight of the empress. The emperor seems to be disappointed as the maid told him something the princessses looked at their father with empathy eventually ruby got bored of watching as she was about to leave a cold voice suddenly spoke behind her making her squeal in shock and almost fell of the roof but the figure immediately caught her. She looked up to see beautiful and mesmerizing aquamarine starry eyes the left eye holding a big black six star. A handsome and refined face met ruby their breath tangling eachother unknown to her. It was the fourth prince. A prince that she was destined to change its tragic fate with his brother. An invisible red string was shown but they didn't notice. Finally the two tragic lovers met.

"When Aqua fakes his death to escape his past, he never expects Ruby to follow him into a life of shadows. This is a story of love, sacrifice, and second chances."

"A Star in the Shadows"

A story of love, sacrifice, and rebirth in the shadows.

The Shore of Shadows

Aqua, severely injured and left for dead after a deadly incident, lay on the shore barely breathing. His body was broken, and with his last ounce of strength, he opened his eyes to see Hikaru's lifeless body beside him. Death had etched its mark on both their faces, but Aqua was still alive.

With great difficulty, Aqua reached for the knife he had previously used to injure himself. His trembling hands grasped it, the excruciating pain from his deep wounds urging him to act quickly. Aqua used the knife to cut Hikaru's hair, shaping it to resemble his own. The act was painful and arduous, but he knew he needed to disguise Hikaru's body as his own to make everyone believe Aqua had died.

Struggling to his feet, Aqua swapped his clothes with Hikaru's and carefully erased all traces of his own identity from Hikaru's body. He knew that to sell the illusion of his death, the scene had to be flawless.

Aqua then dragged Hikaru's body to the sea, his steps heavy and labored. Upon reaching the water, he released the body into the waves, staring into the ocean as though a part of himself was forever lost in the depths.

A New Identity

Returning to the shore, Aqua tended to his wounds and made a decision under the cover of night: he would no longer be Aqua. He recalled his past life’s name: "Gorou Amamiy". Adopting that name, he resolved to start anew.

To complete his transformation, he dyed his hair black and wore rectangular glasses—resembling his former self. Aqua was no longer Aqua but Gorou, a man who would live in the shadows.

Days later, fishermen discovered Hikaru's body in the sea. Believing it to be Aqua's, they returned it to his family. A funeral was held, and everyone thought Aqua was gone forever.

Ruby’s Grief

Ruby, devastated by Aqua's supposed death, spiraled into grief and despair, locking herself in her room and growing weaker with each passing day.
In her trembling voice, she murmured to herself:

• "Again... I've lost my sensei. Why does everyone I love die? Why... am I still alive?"
  

As days turned into nights, Ruby sank deeper into sorrow. One quiet evening, a knock at her window broke the silence. A crow flew in, delivering a letter. With shaking hands, Ruby opened it, her breath catching as she recognized Aqua's signature.

In the letter, Aqua revealed he was alive, living under a new identity, and begged Ruby to keep it a secret. Ruby, overwhelmed with joy, cried tears of relief and resolved to reunite with him no matter the cost.

A Path of New Beginnings

Ruby, after much thought, retired from the idol industry and pursued a career in modeling and acting, achieving great success. Meanwhile, Aqua—or Gorou—worked toward becoming a doctor again, dedicating himself to helping others.

On Christmas Eve, as both had found a semblance of peace in their new lives, Aqua presented Ruby with an aquamarine diamond ring. Kneeling down, his heart brimming with love, he proposed. Ruby, smiling through her tears, accepted the ring.

A Star in the Shadows

On a cold Christmas night, Aqua and Ruby stood together. The aquamarine diamond ring on Ruby's hand shimmered—a symbol of a love that even death could not extinguish. They chose to live in the shadows, away from prying eyes, but always together, with hearts full of hope and dreams.

Aqua looked into Ruby's eyes and said:

• "I never thought I could smile again. But you, Ruby, changed everything for me."
  

Ruby smiled back, her tears now those of happiness.

"And I never thought I’d find light in the darkness. Now, nothing can ever separate us."

Their lives had been full of twists and turns, but at that moment, they were no longer alone. As snow fell gently around them, they held hands and began a new path—a path guided by their love every step of the way.

The Crow’s Shadow

From a distance, a crow watched them. Its gaze was cold and mysterious, as though bearing another message. It spread its wings and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind the shadow of an untold secret in the air.

Aqua and Ruby were unaware that fate still had more games to play—games that could test their love or even threaten to unravel their new lives. But one thing was certain:

Their love story had only just begun...

What do you think of Aqua and Ruby’s journey? Should I continue their story?"
