Guess who's making ball jointed dolls of Erik and the Daroga

Honestly, I like the writing of this series. The writer keep it very realistic chaotic-immature teenager with dramatic plot as much as possible.
I do feel disgusting & sick with some of character storyline through all seasons. it's different from all shine and rainbow series in Netflix, this one is headache, but somehow I keep coming for it.. I probably love all the drama lol.
Not everyone is perfect, even the best character deserve better, the world don't guarantee it. (I know, Mathias need to hang in there longer)
(Christoffer V. Ebbesen 🫵 get out of my inbox)
No but I agree that a show like this should be chaotic with immature characters but I'm just annoyed by the lack of character consistency. It's like they write dialogue that could be given to any of the characters and it doesn't matter, it's lazy and making the storytelling disjointed.
I'm going to make a list soon of the plot holes just in season 3 because it's a lot lol

Tristamp speculation. I'm 90% convinced Milly is gonna be related to Roberto since it would explain why she sought out Meryl, and also it gives Milly automatic personal stake in the conflict with Knives. I also think the Eriks plot point will play out different since the circumstances around it are so much more devastating than the Fifth Moon - Some of it might be wishful, but I really have a feeling it'll take more than just Wolfwood to snap him out of it and Meryl will get involved this time.
I've seen that idea passed around before! After all, Milly's the youngest of...very many siblings, so her extended family is probably (comically) huge. Roberto could very well have been among them. And considering how strong her familial ties are, it makes sense if she would want to get down to the bottom of it to discover the truth behind a lost relative. :O (While getting swept up with the whole plot of…everything.) Seeking the same justice she's perceptively noticed (admired?) from Meryl's vigilant efforts.
The Eriks case then becomes interesting (different), because if s2 begins with him at that stage, with all his friends needing to find him to establish their party, then Milly too - needs to be properly introduced to the audience AND she herself needs to be properly introduced to Vash - the real Vash behind all the bounty/outlaw rumors. It makes sense if their timeskip reunion (and/or the first introductory episode) becomes more of a collaborated group effort because of this.
Cause Wolfwood's already seen the scars to help identify him, but that won't be enough if say, Vash is truly suffering from some trauma induced amnesia, where he doesn't fully remember who he is or even who his friends are. Then once again Meryl's voice becomes an important (key memory) trigger for Vash to help Find and reclaim himself. :O So I believe she'll be needed (and it won't make sense to exclude her, after she's spent the whole time in determined faith looking for him and likely defending his name; she, as our audience viewpoint character, needs that reunion just as much.) Especially to continue with the reoccurring themes established from s1, it makes sense for both of them (Meryl & Wolfwood) to contribute to help save their long-lost friend. Paralleling how Milly's on a quest for her long-lost relative too. (Just the extra shock it'd be for the girls to get their first 'scar reveal' scene this way, and especially so for Milly, if this becomes her first heavy exposure sympathizing to the real Vash all at once. D: Yow!)
