there are images running through my mind and i wanted to o hear your theories about them π
in the chapter 95 what does tsukasa's condition mean here ? I thought that tsukasa was like this because he takes the power of the sixth yourishiro especially since he holding the radio ?
was hanako able to hear or sense yashiro when she know his yourishiro was tsukasa because if you noticed he started the Hakujodai fast when he took her ? What do you think
i hope my question is not too long for you π
This scene specifically leads us to think about a betrayal coming from Sakura and Kokujoudai.
Remember that the joudais are spirits of people who did not take human form like the other spirits.
So, technically, there are two spirits with Hanako and two with Tsukasa, and we know that they talk to them.
Sakura was alone with one of Tsukasa's joudais doing something hidden from him.
At that moment, Tsukasa was talking to Hanako and Nene.
The general idea was that Tsukasa went to get Nene to put her in the number six boundary and she removed Sumire's seal.
While Sakura should have gone after Sumire and taken her to the boundary again.
That's why Tsukasa is happy that she did her job, he put Nene there and she put Sumire there, so the idea was that Nene would be forced to remove Sumire's seal because she wouldn't be able to leave the boundary without removing the seal.
Tsukasa even took Hanako with him, so that he wouldn't interfere and take Nene out of the boundary (something he did with Hitodama).
But here's the point of "betrayal"
Sakura placed number six in the boundary without Tsukasa's permission. And she convinced Sumire that she would have to ask number six to destroy her.
It was for Nene to remove Sumire's seal, but since Sakura knew she wouldn't do it, she sent Natsuhiko to capture number six and put him in his boundary.
Meanwhile, she found Sumire and told her that she has to "sacrifice herself". Sakura intentionally planned this without Tsukasa knowing. Her mission was to put Sumire in the boundary and Nene to remove the seal (that's why Tsukasa put Nene there).
Nene was supposed to remove the seal, but Sakura "forced" number six to do it. And Kokujoudai was with her. Sakura reinforcing that Tsukasa doesn't know and can't hear is yet another confirmation. She was telling Nene information that she probably shouldn't have, like the connection between her life and the yorishiros.
Furthermore, she made a point of showing what happens when Nene doesn't remove the yorishiros. She wanted to shock Nene so that at some point she would prefer to remove the seal.
In this case, Tsukasa's.
At some point Tsukasa's seal will be removed, but Hanako doesn't want it, so it's unlikely that he will destroy Tsukasa. And since Sakura wants all the seals to be removed, then Nene will understand that if she doesn't remove Tsukasa's seal, Amane will destroy him, just like Hakubo did with Sumire.
In other words, theoretically, Sakura did all this so that Nene would know what will happen if she doesn't remove Tsukasa's seal.
But she will have to fight Hanako.
Anyway, when Sakura talked about the information and the image of Tsukasa with the radio appeared, it made me imagine that it represents more of his vulnerable side. That's because Tsukasa was awake and waiting for Sakura's return.
She and Natsuhiko apparently plan to betray Tsukasa.
And he knows it.
Tsukasa always knows.
Sketches after finishing the Snufkin game <3
It's that time of year again where moominvalley invades my brain more than ever, the game was so beautiful and full of endearing surprises :')
one of my favourite scenes in Saiki is when you learn that one of his powers is petrification but anything in front of his eyes will stop the power
so like a respectable young man, he wears glasses so as to not randomly petrify people!
and then in the same breath you find out that literally any pair of glasses will work but Mr. I-Hate-Being-the-Centre-of-Attention chooses to wear a pair of neon green glasses
i respect his commitment to the bit π
Dazai take the fucking antidote
Just little Hanako playing with his toys or learning from Tsuchigomori that he can't sell objects that don't belong to him.
Or just being silly.
A 50+ year old baby
all of the panels with Dazai with a cold from the BSD Anthology π₯° him being perfectly normal with a 39.8Β°C fever is so very Dazai of him...
Scrawny little Snufkin π±πΌ
Maybe I'll finish this animation, maybe I won't...
Vid is also up on yt
Thread from my twitter about this official art because itβs one of my favorite official anime art. This is actually part 1 because alot of people wanted a soukoku specific/Dazai focused part. So will post that here as well.
Starting off:
Theyβre gorgeous here but what I really love is the detail of the red thread of fate. More specifically how & where the thread is wrapped for skk & sskk + Kyoka. Iβll start with skk.
When it comes to Soukoku, my loves, Dazai has the thread wrapped around his neck. Chuuya has one end & itβs wrapped around his wrist (the one with the scar that proves heβs human btw), that seems to symbolize he's holding Dazai's life in his hands, at least partially. That's no surprise we all know they're inexplicably linked and fated etc.
Chuuya is always there to save Dazai & Asagiri said heβs the only one who truly understands Dazai. But it's super interesting the other half of Dazai's string thatβs wrapped around his neck is first wrapped around his own wrist, before continuing to Aku. This essentially saying Dazai holds his own life in his hands.
Which obviously seems super accurate since we know his is biggest enemy is often his own mind & the hole inside his chest that he has a hard time filling. Itβs where his suicidal tendencies come from. But essentially, it seems like Dazai's life is held only by Chuuya & then himself and I love that detail.
This is in contrast to Atsushi, Akutagawa, & Kyoka. The thread is wrapped around Atsushi's throat & Aku & Kyoka both have it around their wrists. Essentially symbolizing *both* Aku & Kyoka have Atsushiβs life in their hands. This seems to showcase both of their importances in Atsushiβs life.
Also other than dead apple, given recent events with Kyoka saving Atsushi in the beginning of the DOA arc & Akutagawa's sacrifice for him later, that red thread being held by them continues making sense.
Also Aku's sacrifice was massive for his development & I hope it is our universes Aku at the end of episode 11 so we can continue exploring that development for himself & his relationship with Atsushi.
The red thread itself is typically to symbolizes those who are destined to be together, regardless of place or time. Which naturally makes sense for soukoku & their βtwo bodies one soulβ situation lol Itβs interesting that Atsushi has both Aku & Kyoka linked to him in this sense.
Thatβs just my take on the art & why itβs one of my favorites.
Hi, do you watch 'react to cale' gacha videos?
Actually... no, not at all. As I explained in this post, Amalia's series is the only one I actually ever watched and enjoyed. In the past, I checked out a random TCF gacha video or two out of curiosity to figure out what the fuss was about (and why there seems to be like a bajillion videos of this kind on Youtube from all different fandoms for some reason)... but I did not like them, at all. There's nothing wrong with liking them of course, judging by the view counts lots of people do. But for me, there was just no substance to it? So I don't get the hype. (Then again, I don't enjoy the TikTok format either. Might be a matter of taste.)
Amalia's TCF video series was different for me because it is more an actual fanfic than a random clipshow. I originally found it because Amalia also made some INCREDIBLE animatics. There's a lot of effort put into all of their videos. The gacha series has script, and a really good one, too! So if you ever find another series like that (...in English please, I don't know Russian lol), please let me know! I would love to see it.
Some Moomins and their Snufkins
Two children/teenagers have a pretty Wacky Weekend and discover more about eachother than they could ever think!
Anyway Snufkin and Sniff bodyswap story but Sniff is actually a respectable character with his own depth and is able to be on equal footing with Snufkin as a foil.
