mám míň používaný příjmení. (podle kdejsme.cz nás k roku 2016 nebylo ani 900, mužských a ženských verzí dohromady)

nikdy jsem svoje příjmení neslyšel v televizi.

až do včerejška, kdy si poprvé pouštím pár let starej seriál a po hlavních postavách řvou něco povědomýho. asi jsem hluchá, radši si googlím jména postav. a fakt to tak je. moje příjmení, poprvé. možná naposledy, kdo ví.

ale je to divnej pocit. cítíte se takhle taky když svoje příjmení slyšíte v televizi? furt jsem sebou cukal, že na mě někdo volá. upřímně, trochu mě to vytrhovalo z děje. a mám potřebu tohle všechno někam napsat protože to v reálným světě nikoho nezajímá ale já na to teď furt myslím. možná jsem jenom divná.

A moment of silence for the random Capulet guy who went into Friar Lawrence’s chapel to use the bathroom and got a face full of the Aimer.

it's tuesday night on 2/18 (HBD CHANGMIN) on my side of the world and now i finally have the time to sit down to write a fan account of my experience sitting/standing IN A FUCKING P SEAT for TOHOSHINKI's 20th Anniversary Live Tour ZONE in sendai (miyagi). I AM FUCKING SPEECHLESS - FANACCOUNT DONE, SIGNING OFF, BYE.

i went on both days (2/15 and 2/16), BOTH P SEATS, first day sitting on the left side (changmin's side lmfao) and second day sitting on the right side (yunho's side). i had a few taller people in front of me on the first day so i wasn't able to see the main stage completely well, but on the second day i was taller than everyone else AND SAW EVERYTHING PERFECTLY. THE ENTIRE STAGE, THEIR ENTIRE CHOREOGRAPHY. I AM SO LUCKY

first off, the boys were SO CLOSE to me, especially when they stood on the extended stage AND FOR BOTH DAYS THEIR CARTS ALMOST STOPPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND I THINK I DIED FOR A BIT. i've been to their concerts before but i was never this fucking close, save me god. their skin was so perfect, i looooove changmin's sunny tan and his sweaty forehead and yunho was literally glowing and looked like a literal angel omfg

it's been a few days since the concert already, and i'm so mad that i wasn't able to record everything so i couldn't revisit it forever, but i'll try my best to remember as much as i can...

i went into the concert semi-blind about the setlist. i knew about some of the songs that they would perform (like songs from the ZONE album ofc) but still wanted to stay surprised. they opened the concert with TRHM which was perfect, THEN THEY PERFORMED ANDROID AND I FUCKING FLEW OUT OF MY SEAT. i haven't seen them perform that song in sooooo long. they wore beautiful white military-style outfits. they also performed dirt and i remember telling my friend that this was their omegaverse song and she gave me a LOOK (i take that meant she agreed).

i was very engrossed with the VCR storyline lmao, and it was definitely better than CLASSYC's. basically it's about a kid from the future who finds an old tape from the past. he gets sucked in and meets the avatars of tohoshinki, who asks him if he wants to visit their timeline, and of course the kid says yes. (IMPORTANT NOTE: THEY GAVE YUNHO A PONYTAIL)

yunho and changmin and the kid go hang out around tokyo skytree and it 100% looks like parents taking their kid out on a weekend lmao, and my friend jokingly called them daddyshinki (i'm proud to have recruited new members to our homin delulu circus).

i can't seem to remember the correct series of events (yikes) but i believe after this, it cut into the "jazz/rnb" portion of the concert where they sang songs like SURISURI, sweet surrender, down, and BUG. they wore gold outfits!

and then the VCR gets sad because the tohoshinki avatars start to malfunction and the kid is crying for his parents :( now we hit into the ballad portion of the concert: dearest, forever love, and stand by u. changmin did the fucking longest note for dearest and our super polite bigeasts didn't know if they should scream WHOOO or just applaud LMAO. they ended up doing both lol (a lot of bigeasts also cried when they sang dearest ): )

our boys sounded EVEN BETTER on the second night. flawless vocals. changmin's long notes for dearest and forever love seemed even longer and yunho omg, he was so stable and he sounded so good and clear while providing the harmony to changmin's melody. they wore beautiful pink outfits, and i got to see a peek of changmin's belly button and yunho's collar bone on the first night lol.

tHEN THE MENT pORTION. on the first night (2/15) they talked about valentine's day chocolates. they also joked about being nikoichi - "what are toho and BE?" (nikoichi) "what are yunho and changmin?" (nikoichi) "what are you and the person next to you?" (... nikoichi?) "wtf you don't even know that person" lol

then of course they asked about what song they should include for their tokyo dome setlist and one fan suggested doushite. the boys then did a beautiful acapella version of the song.

THEN ON THE SECOND DAY (2/16) the boys asked the same thing and the fans started to troll and chose very obscure B-sides LOL. for the first couple of songs homin didn't even try to sing them HAHA and then they ended up choosing a fanboy WHO FUCKING SAT BEHIND ME and he said TAXI... changmin had the LONGEST FUCKING PAUSE trying to remember the song... he finally sang a bit of it and it was beautiful :') ofc our wonderful yunho then made a statement of how tohoshinki have many great songs so it's hard to choose one.

(and ofc every night changmin would make a joke about how bigeast should stfu whenever he tries to move onto the next song because 37 year old oLD MAN CHANGMIN needs the concert to end so he can go home lmfao)

(also i love how they purposely choose fanboys for these things thinking they'd be putting them on the spot because they assume the dudes were just coming with their wives/sisters/mothers but they end up being TRUE fanboys hahaha. it gets them every time)

don't exactly remember what VCR came after this (i think tohoshinki avatars come back to life...?) but it was the cart portion of the concert AND THEIR CARTS STOPPED RIGHT BY ME AND I SAW THEM SO CLOSE IN ALL OF THEIR GLORIOUSNESS

after ark, they left to do a costume change and this was when they introduced the dancers, which was them dancing to a remix of a bunch of their fast songs. they were sooo good.

then toho came out with new outfits (yh: red jacket, cm: blue jacket) and did an explosive stage of on my radar. i loved the way how the dancers assembled under the extended stage as the stage moved up. they introduced the band while performing damn good which was such a brilliant way to do it.

after the band and damn good, they performed kyhd and i lost my mind. i honestly thought this was the last song before the encore, but they surprised me with love in the ice. they wore white fluffy tops AND THEIR HARMONY WAS SOOOO GOOD ESPECIALLY ON THE SECOND NIGHT.

and just when i thought love in the ice would be the last song THEY SURPRISED ME AGAIN WITH FUCKING CATCH ME AND THIS WAS WHEN I REALLY LOST MY MIND. THE OG CHOREO!!! THE FUCKING LIT UP OUTFITS!!! I FUCKING SCREAMED

they started the encore with mirotic, then went back on their carts AGAIN to perform share the world, shine, and this is my love. I ALMOST DIED AGAIN. FOR BOTH NIGHTS.

their last last song was the ballad from ZONE ("うまく言えずにごめんね")

their last ment was them introducing each song from ZONE. for 2/15 and 2/16 they talked about damn good and ARK respectively, both my favorite songs from their album <3

on the second night, i was waiting and wondering when they'd do changmin's birthday. even towards the end, after saying goodbye to fans in all corners of the stage, yunho didn't say anything and i really thought they wouldn't do it, until the VERY last minute, when it was about to really end and changmin started saying, "this has been tohoshinki" when yunho finally popped out with the cake. it was so cute because yunho sang "happy birthday chanmeen~" instead of "happy birthday to you~". it was a lot of changmins in one song hehe this qtpie

and ofc changmin's birthday wish was wishing that he'd be able to go to the next song smoothly without bigeasts complaining lmao

after the boys exit the stage, they showed behind-the-scenes footage of them preparing for the concert and then one last VCR to wrap up their story with their son lol

sorry i can't translate their ment because my japanese is extremely elementary ): i'll try my best to study more by the time i see them at tokyo dome in april!

i am so lucky to have experienced P seats for my first tohoshinki concert in japan. their japanese concerts are truly at another level and after many years of just watching them on DVD, i am happy that i finally got this bucket list item checked off. this was the best concert experience of my life and i hope to continue to support them and their concerts in any way i can in the future <3

hello!! I was wondering if you could write something about lee!han and ler!stray kids where the kids find han sleeping on the couch and instead of bringing him a blanket and stuff, they all take turns tickling him (ex: on his feet, sides, armpits) to see who can wake him up first? and jisung keep squirming around in his sleep making the boys tickle him harder and harder? thank you!!

I looove this idea!! I’m so sorry for taking so long to answer 😭 Also I’m sorry if I didn’t do what you requested. Thank you for requesting!

A Rude Awakening

Lee: Han

Ler: Stray Kids

—————————————————————————————

Han was tired. It had been a long week, from promoting the new album, to training for their comeback, it’s safe to say he was exhausted. The only thing in the world he wanted to do was take a nap.

“Sleep. SLEEP!” His brain seemed to be screaming at him. He wandered from room to room, trying to find a good napping place, until he chose the couch. He would have gotten a pillow and a blanket to help him fall asleep, but the second his head touched the fabric his eyes started getting heavy and soon after, he fell asleep.

In another room, the other 7 members were chatting.

“No that’s what I’m saying, Oddinary is better than 5 Star”

“Wtf?!? No 5 star’s way better”

They slowly walked out of the room and coincidentally walked into the same room Han was in.

“Aww, Han’s sleeping.”, Chan said, smiling at how cute his bandmate was.

“He’s sleeping like a baby!” Hyunjin chuckled, while snapping a picture.

“He’s probably cold. Maybe we should get him some blankets and a pillow for his head?” Felix questioned

“Or we could cuddle him? He’s too cute to just leave here” Minho suggested

At first, the bunny’s idea seemed to be working. But, someone’s finger slipped and accidentally poked Han’s side. He moved abruptly, surprised by the sudden sensation.

“What was that? Maybe he’s having a bad dream?”

Chan, knowing how ticklish he was, smirked, understanding what was going on. Chris took advantage of the fact that his shirt was slightly pulled up, exposing his belly button. He slowly circled his pointer finger around Han’s belly button. Not wasting any time, he quickly sped up the circling, going closer to the younger’s belly button each time. Chan smiled even wider, as his finger was now inside the younger’s tickle button.

Han being very ticklish, giggled once he felt the older’s finger.

“Aw, is someone a bit ticklish?” Changbin questioned, finally understanding what was going on.

“Gahahahahaha stohop”

“Why would we stop? We just started”, Seungmin asked in a teasing way

“Pleahease don’t pin meee. And pleahease dohon’t tickle my hips, they’re too sensitive. Please don’t give mehe raspberries” Han asked in a begging manner

“I’m starting to think you want us to do all those things”

“Aww hyungie, do you actually want this?” Jeongin asked, whilst poking his side

“Noyesmaybe, hah no, of course not”

“Hmm that sounded too indecisive, I think you deserve a punishment”, Lee Know stated, while heavily smirking

“I think you’re right, hyung. Maybe a wrecking session?” Hyunjin added

“Great idea, what do you think, Han?”

At this point, Han was so flustered, he couldn’t speak coherent sentences.

“I ah I think umm”

“Aw he’s blushing already” Felix stated, making the ace blush harder

“I say we just go for it” Hyunjin stated matter of factly

“I agree!”

Before Han could reply, his arms were already pinned over his head and fingers were fluttering and scribbling all over his sensitive body.

“HAHAHA ITS TOHO MUCH HAHAHA”

“I thought you wanted this?” Lee Know teased

The teasing only made the younger even more sensitive.

“Hahahahha it tickles soho bad HAHAHAHAHAHA”

Han was reaching his breaking point, which the members could see.

“So Hannie, I think we’ve completed all your requests, except one.” Chan said

“Huh?” The rapper asked while still giggling off the ghost tickles

“You’re right, we haven’t given him raspberries yet”

“Oh nohoho I think that’s okay I don’t need that I’m fi- AHAHAHAHA” Han interrupted his rambling with his own laughter.

All the members were blowing and ticklishly kissing him in different places of his body. Although it was intense, he actually… liked it?

“HAHAHAHHAHAA I THINK I'M GONNA DIE IF YOUHOU GUYHYUS KEEHEEP GOIHING”

Han was right, his face was completely red and he was breathing very hard.

They all stopped and looked down at the younger, seeing what a cute friend they had. One that liked being tickled, even though he wouldn’t admit it.

Shortly after, they got off of him, deciding they had exhausted Jisung enough. He’d probably need another nap.

Thank you for reading! I hope you have a good rest of your day/night 😁

(As a lee this was very flustering to write 😭)

Shut Up and Let People Enjoy Godzilla

Fucking hell, why are people so upset with the Godzilla x Kong: New Empire movie? Always, shitting on stuff because of some nostalgic, stupid standard.

Legendary Godzilla is fine and, honestly, a pretty perfect love letter to the absolute ridiculous various eras of Godzilla were (that these 'gatekeepers' seem to like to omit) and still beloved. Trying to explain the Xilians to anyone unfamiliar on wtf they are in relation to Godzilla is always a trip, lol.

Godzilla: Minus One was FANTASTIC and I hope Toho keeps doing movies of Godzilla in the veins of Shin and Minus One cause it's the dark, horrible aspect of Godzilla many know and love.

Why can't ya'll be happy with the fact we get all the flavors of Godzilla with these two and can enjoy the silly along with the seriousness. Just let people enjoy shit for christ's sake.

[haropro-confessions]

I think H!P fandom brushed over the fact that Maa and Kanatomo were "friends" with the president of Toho - a whole different company than theirs - and were weirdly sad when he died. I mean the managers removed the part of Maa's blog where she said he would call her Masaki and say she's beautiful. It made a blip then everyone forgot about it. Wtf was that about?

Euforie přetrvává, YASSS. Dnes máme zahradní oslavu a já se rozhodla hezky namalovat. Měla jsem takovou radost, že jsem do toho šla all out a dopadlo to celkem dost výrazně. Trochu jsem bojovala s linkama, ale nakonec jsem s výsledkem byla opravdu spokojená i když jsem to ze strachu radši smyla. Jsem fakt šikulka, heh. Těším se na dobu, kdy budu kompletně out s dlouhatánskýma vlasama, malejma boobas a jemnějšíma rysama. OMG snad to se mnou něco provede. To čekání je děs. Oslava se vyvedla. Děti byly spokojený s dárečkama a hlavně s novým zvířectvem. Daly jsme jim dvě potkaní holky a dostaly jméno Krys a Kim. Nějak jsem z toho byla trochu na měkko. Blbě se to vysvětluje, ale cítila jsem s nima jakousi sounáležitost. Wtf, vážně náš vztah projektuju do dvou potkaních samic? Celej svůj život se cítím jako lesbička. Holky se mi líbí zkrátka jinak, než chlapům. Naprosto porstrád��m ten male gaze a způsob, jakým ženu, muži vetšinou hodnotí, je mi dokonale cizí. Vždy jsem akorát přikyvovala a občas něco zahrála, abych zapadla, ale uvnitř jsem celou dobu pociťovala extrémní gender envy, když jsem, ať už kdekoliv, (IRL, tv, popkultura) zahlédla holky jako pár. Podotýkám, že nikdy nešlo o nějakou intimní rovinu. Čistě romantická závist, tak silná, že ji ve mě vyvolaj dvě potkanky. Jsem fakt divná, lol.

Je vidět, že u tohohle normálně akorát mísnuskuju toho bcc artuše, protože se mi to nějak zprotivilo. Koukám, že problémy jsou všude.

[daenerysoftarth]

actually wtf is the etymology of the word godzilla bc I thought the movies originated in japan but the ‘l’ sound isn’t even in japanese (more a rolling r), plus whenever another western godzilla movie was airing at toho cinemas it was translated as fucking “ゴジラ” which is both (1) in katakana, signifying it’s a foreign word and (2) in romaji would be Gojira so it doesn’t even have a z??????

[animescapist]

So this music by Sawano Hiroyuki came out last year, and I thought it's from an anime so I didn't watch it until I'd eventually see the anime because I wanted to fully experience it first there. But the year passed by and I didn't encounter this song at all, nor do I recall there being an anime scored by Sawano Hiroyuki.

So this week I checked it out. And WTF.

Why does this video have 0 comments??

Music is a banger, no doubt about that. I just don't understand why nobody's talking about it, because I think the story in the music video is interesting.

It's about this short-haired girl closely observing this pretty girl who oddly looks very similar to the pretty and quiet boy in her class.

She notices they both have a mole underlip, and generally have similar face and vibe about them. So she went to secretly investigate this on her own. Essentially, she stalked her. I know, not a very comfortable thing to see. But maybe there's more to just her pure curiosity.

Later, the video reveals the character transition from a boy to a young lady.

And throughout the video, you can see the short-haired girl feeling drawn and captivated to her. She can't stop thinking about this pretty lady, and she even dreamed about her. I believe she is infatuated.

So whenever she gets a chance to see her, she would look at her from afar, just admiring her from a distance. But then this train accident happens. It seemed that there was a war or something. The pretty young lady actually turns out to be a secret agent of sorts. She hopped on that train fully knowing something would happen. And she was supposedly going there to take arms and fight.

The city had been engulfed in flames. The short-haired girl finds the pretty lady standing at the center of chaos, and she would run towards her with the intention of protecting her.

And this is where it gets interesting for me:

The lady sees her running towards her, completely unaware that she can handle herself just fine. So she rushes to the girl to protect HER from this attack from above.

My heart tingled there. OHHH!

The girl later expresses her concerns and worry for this lady, at least that's what I think she's told her, and probably asked her to run to a safe location.

But the lady reassures her and calms her down by:

A KISS ON THE FOREHEADDDDDDD??!?!?!?!?

AHHHH!!!!!!

You guys, this is how I reacted:

100% ACCURATE

And then the MV ends with pretty lady joining an army.

I BADLY, BADLY WANTED THIS TO BE AN ANIME.

But it's just a short film collaboration between Araki Tetsurou, Sawano Hiroyuki and Hata Motohiro as a part of the TOHO animation: Music Films project, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of TOHO Animation.

BUT COME ON! I WANT ME SOME YURI SCIFI/MILITARY ANIME! Potentially, maybe even a mecha genre. Or like something like VIVINOS' Alien Stage. This pair is so cute! Ugh, I want this! HOLY SHIT I WANT THIS. If not a series, at least a full length movie.

Somebody please write this kind of yuri story! IM TIRED OF MAGICAL GIRL OR ORDINARY SCHOOL YURIS.

Furutod vs Sebastyun

Dear @gisellehexen89,

First of all, I am very happy you seem to be enjoying my blog! And thank you for the interesting ask.

I think the best way to find out what ‘Elisabeth’ is is to read up on it, or watch it yourself; it is impossible to explain everything in a post. After having learned what the musical is about, and you’re interested in how TOHO staged it in 2019, I recommend reading my full art reports:【ACT 1】 and 【ACT 2】. These two reports also show my general thoughts on Sissi (^ω^)

Now instead, I shall dedicate this post to making a comparison between Furutod and Sebastyun.

Furutod vs Sebastyun

When Furukawa’s role as Der Tod was initially announced, most people believed he would be very similar to Sebastian. It is an easy trap: both characters are non-human, have very little scruples, are fiercely attractive, and the theme of obsession is omnipresent.

But honestly, that’s it. That’s all the similarities these two share.

1. Status

The biggest difference between Furutod and Sebastyun is their status. Furutod is the Lord of the Underworld (黄泉の帝王), and absolute authority over life and death of all that is alive. Sebastian meanwhile, is bound to servitude who cannot even wield full autonomy of his own. Needless to say, their difference in power status decides everything in their respective behaviours.

1.1. Sebastian

Let us look at Sebastyun first. All three Kuromyus from the Furukawa era show very clearly that Sebastian is very limited in many fields, but the difference between the ‘mask of the butler’ vs ‘the raving demon’ is clearest in ‘Tango on the Campania’.

In the scene with Edward, we see the boy pulling rank on ‘a mere butler’. Edward was basically threatening O!Ciel using Sebastian, while hiding behind the face of ‘a loving brother’. There was nothing Sebastian could do as a mere servant, so he very explicitly checks first whether Edward had left, before he could show his true reaction: “whatever.”

In the cinematic record too, Sebastyun clearly disagreed with what his master demanded of him, and he only showed his BIG ATTITUDE after the boy had left.

Likewise, as explained in this post, because Sebastian is always bound to servitude, his autonomy (or whatever little he has) is something he treasures a lot. His only outlet of freedom is being pedantic and obtuse. Sebastyun takes it a step further by being passive-aggressive on top, a trait Furukawa has made his Sebastian famous for.

Obviously Sebastyun sees fun in doing so, but this is undeniably the result of a long history of getting his autonomy denied. He is the servant in the shadows who needs to wield power within other people’s boundaries.

1.2. Der Tod

As I mentioned above, Der Tod is the Lord of the Underworld, and as Furukawa himself interprets, represents the authority over both life and death. He never has to ask for a ‘yes’, other people’s consent or opinions are non-consequential to him. He takes lives because he can, and nobody can punish him for it.

Being an existence who never needs to learn accepting a ‘no’, he does not need to put up a face, because he never needs to make compromises. Der Tod is SO used to getting his way, that teasing the possibility of ‘not getting his way’ is even a game to him.

1.3. Comparison

Sure, Sebastian also teases and pushes his limits sometimes, but unlike Der Tod, Sebastian does have to consider having to reap what he sows. If Sebastian fails and breaks his contract, surely something terrible awaits him. But Der Tod? Nah... his Death Angels will clean up his mess.

Der Tod can afford to make mistakes in playing with his prey, unlike Sebastian. In The Last Dance↑, we see Furutod make the biggest miscalculation; scaring Elisabeth. Had he not scared her, then Elisabeth might have been quicker in agreeing to die for him.

Unlike Der Tod who has minions to clean up his mess, Sebastyun does need to make careful calculations.

2. Understanding and Interest

Another major difference between Der Tod and Sebastian is their understanding of and interest in human beings.

2.1. Sebastian

The thing Sebastian keeps saying is how interesting humans are; Sebastyun is the scientist always hungry for more knowledge, and humans fascinate him to no end. In ‘Tango on the Campania’ even with debilitating pain, he was smiling with the excitement at human behaviour.

He also makes use of whatever knowledge he has acquired throughout his centuries on earth to get what he wants or needs. Like I said above, at some point in history Sebastyun learned that fear would cause a human to shut down, so he was careful in not scaring Beast, lest she might not open up to him.

Had Sebas been a bit of a dumb-dumb and scared Beast the way he did in the manga, or the way Der Tod scared Elisabeth, then he would have failed his mission logically speaking.

2.2 Der Tod

Der Tod in contrast, always gets his way, so he does not need to understand humans to achieve anything. But more importantly, he is superbly uninterested in understanding humans. The only reason he shows interest in humans is for himself; he wants to bend humans to flatter his own ego. “If Elisabeth finally begs to die, then I AM the victor. If Rudolf commits suicide, then I manipulated him.” Der Tod’s satisfaction is the goal of his actions.

As such, when Rudolf ‘HAD THE AUDACITY to bore LORD DEATH’, he bitchslapped him before taking his life. When in the end Furutod did get Elisabeth, but not in a satisfactory way that assured his baby ego that he’s the winner, he was disappointed and lost all vitality.

To Sebastyun however, the satisfaction is a bonus: it’s nice to have, but it’s more important to get a job done.

3. Mannerism

Another point of difference is their mannerisms. Sebastian is a mere servant, and therefore needs to keep to the shadows. He usually tries (though fails) to adhere to the Victorian code of ‘servants should be like furniture, speak only when spoken to’. (In truth, Sebastian talks way too much for a proper Victorian servant, but he tries! He tries. Give the butler some cookies for trying.)

Der Tod meanwhile, is the supreme overlord of all and everything, so he does not need to care about anything. Plus, he can turn invisible as he likes. Unlike Sebastyun who needs to suppress his laughter or any other commentaries, Furutod can get away with laughing like a f*cking hyena on crack during an Imperial wedding.

4. Ego

Lastly, another stark difference between Sebastian and Der Tod is their ego and their presentation of themselves.

4.1. Sebastian

In this post I explained how Sebastian is very willing to humble himself, to come in second place, or take whatever disadvantage voluntarily for the sake of achieving something he wants or needs to.

This is because Sebastian is very secure about himself, and the recognition of humans (cattle) means nothing to him. He does not need anybody to know how powerful he is, instead he takes greater pleasure in silently manipulating others, using humans’ own actions against themselves.

Yes, Sebastian does love to flex, but he does not do any of those things to increase his reputation. We can tell from Sebastian never lingering to check people’s oohs and aahs. It’s like how when we impress a toddler with something easy, we usually won’t indulge in the kid’s praise because we don’t feel an increase of social regard. Instead, the fact that the toddler is impressed with something so easy is more interesting to us.

Sebastian’s flexing seems more like an outlet because O!Ciel forbade him from showing his true potential, and it is frustrating to him. It is just like how we as (young) adults we are capable of understanding deep analyses, but get constantly told to read picture books, on top of also having be content with hearing: “how amazing, you can read a picture book! You are astonishing!!😱”

4.2. Der Tod

If Der Tod was not explicitly ‘death’ personified, I would say that Furutod is ‘huge ego and diva complex’ personified.

Despite being a more elevated being than Sebastian (the scavenger demon) is as Lord of the Underworld, Furutod does like being praised. Der Tod is and will always be above human beings, and that is as boring a fact as water being wet. As I explained in Art report act 1, Furutod suffers from ‘lethal apathy’, and in this sense he needs more than to know ‘that mortals are beneath him, that water is wet’. Furutod wants to know that the mortals fear him, and gets a kink out of mortals being on their knees for him. Der Tod is not just ‘death’, he is the personification of ‘human regard of death’; and the fear of death, is what unifies human kind, after all.

Another point in stark contrast with Sebastian is that Furutod does have kin near him: the Death Angels. The regard of mortals is nice, but he also likes keeping his minions impressed, because his kin’s reverence also means something to him. It is almost like Furutod wants to justify why he should be superiour to the Death Angels (even though his position is never challenged). He just gets a REALLY big kink out of praise, okay? ( ´艸｀)

Furutod’s enormous ego also shows itself in his diva-ness. When he is courting Elisabeth for example, he is basically behaving like a peacock. He takes Elisabeth’s hand and runs it through his silver hair, his ivory silken skin. “Look at me, feel me, human, I am SO drop dead gorgeous.”

Furutod also can’t handle being lower than anyone; whenever he has the chance he will literally place himself on higher footing.

Contrast this to Sebastyun who is always very willing to put himself lower than others. This ⇊ would be UNTHINKABLE for Furutod.

5. Conclusion

In conclusion, besides the ‘non-human character in a dark theme’ aspect, Sebastyun and Furutod really don‘t have anything in common.

5.1. Sebastian

The fact that Sebastyun is always bound to servitude whenever he is on Earth, and his lack of autonomy, shape his behaviour. His reputation on Earth has no meaning to him; Sebastyun is confident about what kind of Demon he is, and the opinions of ‘cattle’ are therefore insignificant to him. The only thing one must not challenge is whatever little autonomy he has left, and he will test and find the upper limit to wield it.

5.2. Der Tod

Furutod in contrast, only knows what it is like to be the most superiour being and never getting his authority challenged. He never had to learn to make compromises, nor does he ever have to deal with consequences. As such he is really a foot-stamping-toddler (Foot-stamping Der Toddler? Sorry.) with a toxic superiority complex and too much power.

Furutod’s supremacy is mind-numbingly boring to him, but there is no way to achieve something grander than what is already grandest. He is trapped in his own mind of toxic superiority and boredom, and will live the rest of eternity searching for entertainment. (It is kind of sad if you think about it......wait, I’m feeling bad for Der Tod? Hmm Furukawa, you really did add a whole new page to the history of ‘Elisabeth - das Musical’)

In short: where Furutod is eternally bored and has no prospect of getting sustainable entertainment, Sebastyun will always have something interesting he might run into.
