One Thing I Find Hilarious In Tower Of God Is That Our First Real Look At Zahard And V Are So Vastly

“Perfect timing! Arlene, Zahard, who’s your non-human hear me out character?”

The Thirteen Great Warriors have some downtime on their climb up the Tower and end up on the topic of their "hear me out" characters.

(All answers were found on Reddit and I am now scarred for life.)

One thing that is not utilized enough in Baam/Khun fics is the fact that Baam is generally shown a back sleeper that straight up does not move in his sleep while Khun tends to be shown more as a side sleeper and not only moves quite a bit but is also cannonically a blanket hog. If they were to sleep together, Baam is being used as the human pillow and may or may not end up with blankets and/or bruises from being kicked.

Sorry, I didn't mean it in an intelligence way (just said intellectual equil because thats how he precieves him. Ranpo is definitely as well, but Fyodor doesn't seem to care about him) or that he would precieve Dazai as a literal child. I meant it in a "Oh you're a lot younger than I thought" way. For example, I was born in the 90's and when my best friend from work said she was born after 2000 I said "You're a child" jokingly meaning "You are so young" and then had a "fuck I'm getting old" moment. It wouldn't change Fyodor's perception of Dazai at all, but he'd probably feel his age a bit.

Does Fyodor know how old Dazai is? Like, I imagine Dazai looks older than he is just from the everything in his life. So, does Fyodor know he’s 22 or does he think he's older? If someone told him, would "I've lived multiple lifetimes" Fyodor just be like, "What do you mean my intellectual equivalent is a fucking child??"

Anytime I'm concerned about fucking something up, I remember that this made it into an academic text and I suddenly don't feel so bad anymore.

I understand that you can get burnt out from anything, but there's something ... hollow? about being burned out on what you love. Like, I get that I need to step away from writing sometimes. That I need this burnout period to recharge. But I hate the numbness that comes with it. How bloody unproductive I feel. I can't focus. I can't do anything. I feel like a tiger pacing the length of its cage up and down. Up and down. Over and over. I know there's a point where the bucket is empty, and you gotta let it refill before you can proactively use it, but I hate waiting around for that spark to come back to life. Ya know?

Exy is the bastardized child of lacrosse and hockey that's been left unsupervised just a bit too long.

Okay so having went to my first lacrosse game as a non-sports person, I finally fully understand how exy got that popular. First of all lacrosse is already extremely entertaining on it's own, but you’re telling me it’s not just lacrosse, but it’s a contact sport, there’s a plexiglass wall that balls can ricochet off of, they are wearing like full uniform guard because it’s that violent yet they can run around as if their gear weighs nothing, AND IT’S CO-ED?!

Sign me the fuck up are you kidding me.

So, I've seen some panels from the new BSD chapter (I haven't read it yet so I may be jumping the gun) and there's a minor plot hole that's been bothering me.

Dazai says that he made his plan on the assumption Fyodor's ability was based on touch which is why he concocted the whole helicopter crash to kill him. But, my guy, you got an ability that shuts off other abilities. You are immune to any side-effects and Fyodor can't use his ability (known or unknown/consciouslyor unconsciously) with you touching him. If you wanted to guarantee his death just choke a bitch out. You got a body count that would make most serial killers blush and you already planned to kill him. So why was that not Plan A?

I know this can be hand waved away a few different ways; Dazai figured Fyodor would've planned for that, Dazai isn't used to using his ability in an offensive way like that, Chuuya suggested it so Dazai said that wouldn't work just to spite him. It's not a major issue, but I wanted to see what other people think. Does anyone else think that's a plan that could have worked?

As a writer I know why the author didn't go with it and its fine that they didn't. But I still want to hear everyone's thoughts.

“I was minding my own business, taking advantage of the hot springs around here, and that little fucker inked me!”

Or one of the many shenanigans that happened while the Thirteen Great Warriors were climbing the Tower.

I have a slight fascination in names and their meanings/historical context of how they're structured, and as far as the Perfect Court goes, there are a few fun facts about them that add an interesting layer to their backstories. We know Riko taking Jean’s middle name "Yves" was intentional and significant in signifying his lack of identity in the Nest. But Riko and Kevin also have (possibly unintentional) significants in their names as well.

For Riko, in Western cultures, we generally think of "Rico," the masculine Spanish/Italian name meaning "king" or "ruler," but in Japanese, the name "Riko" is traditionally a feminine name meaning "jasmine child" or "loyal child" depending on the characters used to spell it.

In Kevin’s case, it's a missing middle name, which is actually a bit more significant than Jean missing his. In Europe, middle names became a thing because of the high population prior to the Black Plague. (Multiple Johns or Marys could be distinguished by their middle name.) But, in Celtic regions, the belief in not telling people your middle name was associated with the fae. If they ask for your name and you don't give them your middle, then they don't have your "true name," and you're safe. As Kevin's mom was Irish, she definitely would have given him one as it's a normal practice. But by the Moriyamas removing it, it strips him of some of his cultural heritage.

Take this information and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. I just think it's an interesting thing to point out.

Okay, I just caught up on Apothecary Diaries, and while this show always has dark themes (and is quite frankly a masterclass in how they can be handled), the ending of s2e33 was ... Damn. I mean, talk about a taste of your own medicine.
