#WOOOOHHHHH!!!!!

I HAVE FINALLY OVERCOME A BOUT OF WRITER’S BLOCK AHHHHHHHHhhhHhhhhH!

Basically I’ve been stuck on Chapter 3 of 2 (heh) cause wowie Red is hard to write but also it’s not particularly easy to ummm… hold a flow? As in, a flow between a work and its sequel, but I’ve finally figured it out. Crossing my fingers it’s smooth sailing from here.

What else? I guess if we get 2’s writing out of the way soon I can start working on Platinum again. I’ve missed it. I’m also really scared to get back to it. I’ll probably scrap a bunch of the ideas I had originally or just… go with it. Give my past self that release, hehe. Whatever the case I’ll replay the game and reread DPP to figure stuff out.

And also a Lukethan series. That one’s been slow work, but uhhh… there’s like 3 completed works and 3 in the process? That’s good too.

Also gonna take learning art more seriously now, so like… more drawings from me soon :D

I finished the new chapter woooohhhhh 🎉🎉🎉

Once again, and I'm sorry, HEAVY SPOILERS for both, the manga and anime undercut!!!

Also, I linked a post from @/sansan9 since (I didn't check pronouns) they posted the screenshot of JUST the scene that made my brain go BRBRBRBRBRBR

SO, I really love how Kazue was preparing the ground for the whole "humans and demons have to, and can co-habitat" that we see later on in the manga. Also, I loved that she was also setting from the very beginning how accepting Rin is, whatever it was with humans or demons.

^ link to the screenshots above (guys I almost had a heart attack, I've never done command + V while writing a post before).

Lighting being scared yet still loving/craving(?)/desiring to be close to demons is such a crucial factor for the story, and I think there couldn't be a better character to have the role of the demon "lover". Especially since later, we learned that he is a descendant of the Spirit King (I forgot their name, sorry), and he has one of the biggest affinities with demons, the things that helped him develop his signature "Just ask them for help, lmao".

He sees the relationship between humans and demons as one of coworkers, sort of equals, which is not an entirely new take. Still, during the manga, most of the time said relationship is portrayed mostly negatively or unequally. This is not a surprise though, humans are not equals, they depend a lot on the demons to defeat demons, and I'm pretty sure that even when the tables are turned to the human side (like with Tamers or Shemihaza) they are still depending on them.

There are humans who despite that need, others who simply acknowledge it as a fact of life, some who are conflicted about it, and there are others who thrive in the existence of such a bond.

(fun fact, the next paragraphs were a single one, but then the wall of text icked me lmao)

Rin, Yuri, Shiemi, Izumo, and Lewin. From the main and side cast (I'm avoiding mentioning other characters to save people from more spoilers than needed) are the ones who have the tightest relationship with demons, they either work together or understand (some) them, they are the "proof" that coexistence is possible, but also the proof that is not an easy path.

Izumo and Lewin don't have total control over the demons they summon, even if they had a contract or had worked together for a long time, but they are not helpless if the demons turn against them.

Shiemi and Yuri have strong relationships with their demons, their ones listen (with Yuri most of the time), and they can easily communicate with other demons, but they would need more help if a demon attacked them.

And Rin is a completely different matter, he's half-human and half-demon, he doesn't summon them nor has contracts (if I don't remember wrong he did not make one with Kuro), but most demons don't hate him, they speak with him and listen, they acknowledge him as their prince but don't submit if they don't want to, they help him, reach for his help, or attack depending on which side or order they are following. His relationship with demons is the most equal of them all, neither depends on the other, and both sides (most of the time) are willing to listen and see if there is any way to meet a middle end.

And that is also a parallel with his father, Satan, the "King", The Demon God. Demons follow him because he is strong, but they are not forced by nature to do what he wants, not even the weakest.

In the same way as humans, demons have free will, and they can't be forced to follow anyone (even contracts need to be agreed upon by both parties because forcing one has repercussions on one or the other side, which is also proof of how important consent is for a relationship between them to work). During the alliance against Satan, when the Demon Kings were declaring their sides, they stated that any demon of their kind who sided with the enemy would be annihilated, but that still meant that they could pick whatever side they wanted to fight for.

Speaking of Satan and Rin, their moment during chapter 138 (I think it was this one?), when Satan's body is disintegrating shows us two of the biggest peaks for both characters. Rin has grown from the grieving child mourning his father, as he says, he doesn't want to avenge his father (in his words, punch or kick Satans's ass), he wants to make peace. In return, during Satan's recession, we see that deep down he, too, wants peace, that he wishes he could break the laws of the world so demons and humans can coexist, so he and Yuri could coexist. But he has been proven wrong, too weak to do it, and so he blamed humanity because what he learned during his time on Earth was that they wanted to cage demons, that most humans didn't believe in coexistence, nor did they care about their own kind. He was shown the worst, without giving him time to learn all the good things that could have contrasted said cruelty, the things and people Rin was lucky enough to learn before it was too late for him too.

(I got suuuuupeeerrr carried away from my original point lmao, I'm just yapping at this point. Also, I have a big ass post about chapter 138 in the oven, just thought I should mention that I'm holding back a lot of words).

Anyway, I speak so much and over and over about this matter because I believe is extremely important for the story, Kazue is not someone who puts things just for putting them if she added them then they are or will be important for the future, and I think what I said in this post is part of the keys to get a "happy ending", or at least a timeline in which there will be hope.

OK SO, let me know your thoughts if you want!!!
