Hargon in DQB2:

The moon will sing a song for me, I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me

rewatched some dr stone episodes lately

I’ve thought a lot about this bc of how much I’ve analyzed the credits, so pls ignore the rant lol.

The straightforward definitions are Casanova meaning a harem man, or a man how loves/charms many women, and Posse as a group of people, typically with a similarity. This means the phrase Casanova posse generally means a group of harem men lol.

This doesn’t immediately make sense in context of the song and the arc, but I think the true meaning was lost in translation(along with much of the English lyrics). I believe the phrase is meant to refer to a group of loving/caring people.

For example, the opening song lyrics talk about changing times, freedom, determination, and creating new things. Then in the end chorus it switches to “Save me” and “I won’t let you down” and “smile and resist”. In general I believe the Casanova posse is supposed to reference the KOS and how they’re loving and caring people despite the odds they face.

(I’m getting a little deep here but bear with me)

Like the battle of Dr stone has gone from Science vs. Might to Science vs. Science. The current difference is the goals of the teams. Zeno wants to rule the masses with an iron will, and doesn’t care much for people outside of his circle. Zeno uses science for personal gain, which is one of the main motivators for invention.

By contrast, the KOS is exactly the opposite. They embody inventing to help others, science for everybody. Senkuu heals Ruri. Forgives Tsukasa, Hyoga, Moz, etc. He cares for everybody, wants to revive all of humanity.

With this in mind, the KOS is a caring group. They may be a bunch of scrappy teens, but they care for people and work together despite the obstacles. So I think the label fits pretty well, disregarding the translation lol.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk🫡

fellow stoners, silly question but what does "Casanova Posse" even mean?

Omg I can definitely see that.

As I’m writing HP fics centering the Golden Trio, I’ve been writing out all their character traits n stuff for similarities and differences, and something big I noticed was how all of them don’t have great relationships with their parents.

Like Harry’s is obvious, physical and emotional abuse, and Ron’s is talked about, but Hermione having emotionally neglectful parents both makes a lot of sense and also fills in some gaps.

It seems like Ron and Hermione have similar issues with their parents not paying them much attention outside of their academic achievements, and how that has shaped them. Especially in the differences between Ron, who is mid/poor academically vs Hermione who is straight A’s. Same root problem, similar lingering issues, different personalities.

Final note: love this idea! It makes a lot of sense in canon and also in common head-canon land.

P.s. wrote this at midnight, I’ll review it later

(Honestly this entire thing might be projection, but who cares!)

Hermione has such an interesting underdeveloped relationship with her parents. They’re rarely if ever mentioned, and when they are mentioned, they never seem to know the full story of what exactly is going on at Hogwarts.

At least, based on the fact that they let her keep going to Hogwarts, you wouldn’t expect them to know.

On top of that, nearly every summer, she stays a large portion of her time at the weasleys. she also stays at Hogwarts during breaks, despite having the option to leave.

I find it fascinating that Hermione was even capable of obliviating her parents memories in the first place. This must have caused massive amounts of grief and agony to have surfaced. Yet she still did it.

Now I know she isn’t perfect, keeping skeeter in a jar and scarring that girls face in 5th year, but still, she was more okay with her parents completely forgetting her existence then attempting to find a different solution?

The only way to make that sort of decision easier, is your parents already not knowing you.

Which leads into my idea, I wish fanfics delved a little deeper into the idea that Hermione might have been neglected, at least emotionally so.

It may just be me, but most of these signs seem to point to some form of neglect.

See the thing about neglect is that it’s a slow acting poison in a lot of ways. Unnoticeable to those around you, and easy to ignore when it comes to yourself.

I think it would be so easy for fanfic writers to draw a connection between Hermione’s drive for academic success and plausible neglect from her parents leading to a need to impress people to keep them around.

Her number one fear in third year was failure.

I can imagine a world where she grew up quiet, struggling to make friends from her slightly bossy nature and higher intelligence. She noticed that she was special in a way (magically so), but she didn’t pay too much mind to it as neither did her parents.

But as dentists, as people who have gone through higher levels of academia, they would have paid attention to her success in school.

It wasn’t a lot of course. They’re both dentists, they both have full time jobs and no other kids, so she was just alone most of the time with her books as she didn’t have friends either.

It was lonely, but it was survivable, there was food on the table, a roof over her head, a warm bed to go to sleep in, and those brief moments where her parents would surpass her expectations and actually do something that showed that they cared and noticed her beyond her academic achievements for once.

Then she gets to Hogwarts, and the weekly letters turn into monthly ones. She tries to tell herself that all of them have just gotten busier with work and school. She doesn’t quite succeed in being convincing, but she goes back during winter break anyway.

She only ever goes back again in 6th year.

It would be so easy for her not to mention her parents, as they have a good steady job (with stable income, unlike the weasleys) and they don’t exactly outwardly harm her (like the dursleys).

It would be so easy to see her parents lack of attention or care as simple freedom, or her wanting too much, or not trying hard enough.

Because after all, she’s not helping by not sending letters either, or telling them the full story of what happened that school year when she does meet up with them.

ARGH MY HEARTTTTT

dr stone / if the moon mission ended differently

Hello! I am also bored and would love to chat. (manga reader, but no spoilers ahead) I am very sad about the skipping of the personalized drinks. How do you feel about this, and if you think it was super important, what part of the episode would you trade off?

Someone send me asks about my thoughts of the new Dr.STONE episode or about any characters tbh! I'm bored and wanna chat with people
