Some Kaneki doodles I've done over the past few months lol

[rehide]

just barely started my reread but. i think one of simultaneously both the most interesting and devastating aspects of rize, whose entire character is about her stolen autonomy, is that we never really get to know her outside of other characters perceptions of her. we know her through kaneki's brief meeting with her and his once hallucinated version of her, through furuta's idealized memories of her in the garden and the twisted perception he has of her now, through tsukiyamas run-ins with her, briefly through shachi's ideas he got of her as she was growing up, but we still rarely get to hear from her. and despite this, she's still overwhelmingly present in the narrative, though more as a concept than anything. we do briefly get that scene in re where she talks to kaneki about the garden, but it still cycles back around to what he has to accomplish going forward. a lot of the information we know about her comes from the people fighting so hard to control her and take the autonomy her entire arc is about in the first place. just something i've been thinking about. how we know rize is so overwhelmingly present in the narrative but the people who she's tried to escape from her entire life are primarily who we've learnt about her from.

All For The Bit

okay so, bear with me here

When Trigun came into the world the typical shonen protagonist was the loudmouth cheery guy who shouted a lot about friendship, generally had a lot of feelings and wasn't too bright but they had HEART

And this was kind of Vash's Bit in the manga and '98 anime. This is the role he presented himself in. Not an entirely false personality, often exaggerating his own traits, but still a deliberate choice. He's modeled after the harmless, nonthreatening Loudmouth.

Now we come to present day. Now the prevalent shonen protag tends to be The Wimp. Soft-spoken, the ultimate doormat, essentially decent and kind but weak-willed. Earnest, but no one takes them seriously. Eager to please. Belittles themself.

*looks pointedly at Trigun Stampede Vash*

Vash has updated The Bit. He now presents himself as The Wimp because that is the common type of protagonist in recent times. That is the type of protagonist viewers will be most familiar with. He's not like 90s Vash because he is 20s Vash, he's this generation's Vash.

I have no idea if Orange did this deliberately but I think it's cool. It's a new show made by a new generation of creators who want to tell new stories about characters they love.

Seasons Die One After Another/季節は次々死んで行く - amazarashi

Translation credit official translation

The seasons die, one by one, fading away

The voice of death, becomes the wind, and then blows away

A man unsusceptible—to this charming colorful city

Looks up at the moon cursing in an undrunken state

My life’s been tripped in the mud—frozen in place

The rain from clouds; it burns me down like hard alcohol

With eyes filled with apathy

Left to wander the city streets

Civilians ignore an innocent’s request for the next train to leave

Who I am; who I was; nothing left but a broke shadow

Of that “me” you cannot find, and who I cannot rectify

If I sing, into the rain…

Would the clouds finally part?

I’m all dried up by the summer’s heat

Left behind in these busy streets

To my lonely past,

I leave you this song, a sorrowful farewell

These sights of regretful days

Leaving behind torn remains

Living through nightmares and horrible days

I declare this tragedy done!

And when the flowers do bloom,

They’ll fall down to you, telling you this tale

Of a story of suffering,

Failures, heartbreak, and change

Although I won’t survive to see the sunlight

May this song of mine—live on!

Tomorrows die, one by one, fading away

Although I try, I realize, days pass me by

But where do we run to? Our fire’s dying fast

I look around, there’s no meaning now, but that won’t last

Who I am; who I was; this empty “you” despises you

Living so unstably, you see it’s insecurity

“Sing this song, the dark dispels

Please don’t give up living on”

When you wake from this rotted dream

It’ll get better, you’ll see…

To my lonely past,

I leave you this song, a sorrowful farewell

These sights of regretful days

Leaving behind torn remains

Living through nightmares and horrible days

I declare this tragedy done!

And when the flowers do bloom,

They’ll fall down to you, telling you this tale

Of a story of suffering,

Failures, heartbreak, and change

Although I won’t survive to see the sunlight

May this song of mine—live on!

With tired eyes and foot dragging

We drag our feet at the setting sun

Squinting at the bright sunset

Reflecting on our faded past

We’ve spent time, wondering…

If we should go or head on back?

But our legs move forward now

Finally sick of holding on

So now, our minds are made up

And we, can’t return back

As there’s no path left we can retrace

Broken but we carry on

Our lives picked up by the winds

Carrying our torn remains

We’ll return—healed

To my broken past,

The nostalgia you have left, has blown back to me

In those days of horrid grief

Nightmares and suffering

When I look back I see they’re so far away

I feel I can breathe again

And now the flowers have bloomed,

Their petals drift to you, as the cycle echoes

Of a story of suffering,

Failures, heartbreak, and change

Although I’m fading as the sun starts to rise

May this song of mine—live on!

The seasons die, one by one, returning with life

can you draw white haired kaneki w a baby harp seal

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

YES, YES, YES HE IS WITH BABY HARP SEAL AND IS A BABY HARP SEAL HIMSELF.

He is mimiendo, everyone is in the deepest nonito possible, and I'm glad they are taking their daily nap because they deserve it.

They are both squeezable balls of fur whom accumulate unspeakable horrors, are plushie-shaped, and definitely winter lovers.

I really believe ghouls with rinkaku and ukaku, in case they have the kagune activated, will move it slightly when they see their favorite person or when you give them a very nice compliment.

Something like this, sometimes they get really really excited and hit a random furniture by mistake.

[amoneki-ramblings]

this is a pass to do a couple things:

finish the manga!!! u can do it so u can follow all the other blogs without getting blindsided by a spoiler

do the ship ask thingy for amoneki :]

Gahh I'm trying !! I'm so busy with school and life stuff so it's hard to squeeze in time to read but I'm trying! I'm getting through volumes very slowly but hey, I'll get there ! Just. Well. There's 16 volumes so. Okay it might take a bit orz

For now I'll just be in my little fandom limbo corner I suppose orz, as for the ask thingy:

when I started shipping it if I did: Several months ago, probably a few months short of a year? It's a bit complicated, Basically I decided to rewatch the anime (because my original exposure to tg was. the anime :') ) and vaguely remembered that I really liked Amon (honestly the encounter at Kanou's Lab/Cochlea was one of the scenes I remembered the most), and after rewatching and seeing Amon and Kaneki's interactions they piqued my interest again. Then I got into the manga and. Yeah that interest turned into insanity and now i'm here

my thoughts: Well I have a 119-slide 15K+-word google slideshow for starters. But I'm taking that to my grave so I guess I gotta condense that somehow. On one hand I feel like everything needs to be said about these two to the point that there's too much to talk about but also nothing needs to be said at the same time. They parallel each other in just about every way possible, it's impossible to ignore the ways that they foil each other. They also have had irreversible effects on the others' character. Kaneki finds resolve in Amon's words ('the world is wrong'), and turns to them at pivotal moments (when he leaves Anteiku, Kaneki's own mantra is also basically a derivative of Amon's, wishing to take out the "bad/wrong" things in the world, and he basically takes them to his grave, "The world is wrong", Amon's own words, being his opening to his final dialogue in the last chapter of the original series)

Similarily Amon is just haunted by Kaneki. Like. In general. He thinks about him constantly (even under more mundane circumstances, in the novels he gets reminded of Kaneki just by staring out a window because it reminded him of the Aogiri raid. lmao). Kaneki is basically the catalyst to his character development, and Amon is constantly bothered by his presence/existence, and even comes to recognize how they always encounter each other at important moments. Amon is so haunted by This Guy (creature) it's both a little funny but also makes me very insane. He's basically being a failure of a ghoul investigator, and it's even more ironic, given his hatred of himself for being raised by and potentially caring about a ghoul (also he's catholic, something something religious guilt), yet he seems to have a lot of faith in Kaneki, even to a faulty degree (I'd daresay it's almost to the point where he puts Kaneki on a bit of a pedestal/idolizes him to an extent. I have a whole other ramble about Just that on the self-rb'ed half of this post. Like I'm sorry but Amon definitely fell hard for this guy I'll die on this hill and I'm going to poke fun at him endlessly for it, he could've done so much better, he starts off the manga hating ghouls with a passion and his mentor's disdain for ghouls runs ten times as deep but nope now he's chasing after the dangerous somewhat unhinged (/affectionate) half kakuja guy and it's not even to fight/kill him like okay, sure.) They have affected each other in irreversible ways. They reflect each other so much even if they don't know it. They just want to sit down and have a conversation. They didn't get to. And instead They Killed Each Other (okay not really but it was very close and they absolutely could, not that they want that) ((It's also partially Kaneki's fault for losing control of himself and he feels awful for that (sidenote but any scenario with Centineki and Amon make me lose my mind))). They're also married by first-encounter marriage bite, apparently. I think we should talk about that more that's kinda?? Donato approves btw

What makes me happy about them: Everything that makes me miserable about them makes me simultaneously happy about them because I am an Angst Guy but honestly just how much they clearly respect each other. While they're not allowed to understand each other because of their circumstances they still very much Want to. They recognize that they probably share a lot of views and could really have a meaningful conversation with each other, and it really shows, even if they're fighting. Amon again has a surprising amount of trust in Kaneki (not assuming he's fighting for Aogiri when he saw him during the ward 11 battle, having faith in Kaneki as a person even if he just saw him potentially killing his superior and being presented with the possibility that maybe he was just being fooled all along, when he's nearly dying at Kaneki's own hands but says he won't die because that would make Kaneki a murderer, having faith still that he hasn't turned into one). They recognize that they're equals (well technically they're not, obviously Kaneki is much stronger objectively, being a ghoul, and a kakuja at that), but they treat each other as equals and that's what really matters. I just think it's a very neat dynamic and their roundabout way of caring about each other despite their positions makes me happy :)

What makes me sad about them: I was gonna put images but then I quickly realized that I'd basically be pasting almost all of chapter 133-134 just uh. The fact that Kaneki really lost control of himself and the parallel with him biting Amon's shoulder escalates to him cutting off his entire fucking arm, the way that Amon's first thought in regards to that is simply that Kaneki is strong, how he doesn't reprimand him for it whatsoever (also Amon's blow pretty much takes out the entire area of where Kaneki's kakuhou should be, which is a detail I find Extremely Interesting and I think it should genuinely be talked about more). This fucking line that happened literally the panel before all of that despite their mutual wishes for the other to simply Not Die:

Amoneki divorce. Absolutely life ruining :thumbsup:

(Also just. Again Amon Please. This guy bit your shoulder (probably gave Amon rabies honestly) and almost ate one of your colleagues; when he loses control of himself for the second time you just tell him to take a break, and now he's cut off your whole damn arm and you're Still not complaining and are instead praising him by calling him strong. I just. Yeah that's Not Normal. It's kind of impressive, really /derogatory)

Oh yeah also the fight at Kanou's lab also kills me and takes over my brain constantly but I wouldn't classify that as making me sad I would classify that as making me lose my mind, laugh hysterically and start climbing up and clawing at the walls (like Centineki, actually)

things done in fanfic that annoys me: Maybe I'm just extremely picky but I feel like people tend to fumble Amon's characterization a lot. It's kind of a fine line, and Amon has a lot of conflicting feelings as is, so I get it, but I'm especially bothered when Amon is written as way too harsh. When he's first introduced he has a strong hatred for ghouls, and it's not like that just goes away, but when he's written as especially harsh or even cruel towards Kaneki, especially if it's just because for him being a ghoul it feels like it kind of defeats the point, as Kaneki is supposed to be the reason why Amon starts changing his mind. When Amon sees him for the second time he doesn't think about fighting him at all, even that early on he decides he wants to talk instead, 'cause He's Different. I don't see this kind of characterization too often but I don't really vibe with it at all when I do (Also this is definitely just a me-thing but I wish there was more angst in the tag. Which is ironic considering these guys are surprisingly normal most of the time and have so much potential to be actually Happy but uh *vague hand gestures*, hurt-comfort would also be a decent compromise)

things I look for in fanfic: I love pre-:re fics that explore the complicated-ness of their dynamic. I'm really fond of fics where they kind of dance around each other in a sense, they won't just straight up completely directly interact because that's Still a bit dangerous but they see each other in passing, maybe Kaneki watches over Amon sometimes, etc. Also you probably saw this coming a mile away but yeah religious references mean instant bonus points from me. I could go into some (too much) detail but. uh. stares down at my feet look I'm normal I swear

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:  Saying Amonhaise is definitely cheating but I'm not really invested in any other Amon ships. I'm not particularly against any I'm just neutral. As for Kaneki, like I mentioned in a previous post, I see potential with Etoken, and it's pretty hard to go wrong with Hidekane, though neither drive me to insanity like these two do at the moment

My happily ever after for them: Let them finally officiate their marriage ghsfdljbhf

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Well that's pretty easy huh. Kaneki small spoon he is a Little Guy just let him feel comfortable and secure y'know? Kaneki is probably someone who runs very cold and Amon is very warm so it works out :) If he's super tired he very carefully (and cautiously) wraps his kagune around Amon he will now be Trapped there until Kaneki wants to get out of bed (good luck)

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Well I would say that Kaneki loves cooking for Amon probably. He makes food at home and tries to make new sweets following recipe books. It's a bit of a mess because y'know, he's a ghoul, and at first Amon tries to hide that, unfortunately, his previous experience with cooking does Not, in fact, hide the fact that he cannot taste or smell human food, but eventually Kaneki is able to get a hang of it (with Amon's help) and it's very nice :) That's what I would say but. well. Amon is Also a Ghoul now so that doesn't really work :')

2 DAYS LEFT

(Touka on her Birthday ♥️♥️♥️)

[ipsen]

the post-aogiri arc, summarized

[backgroundcharacterno15]

Kaneki would individually type out each letter when he does a keyboard smash, consciously thinking what would make the most sense to go where.

Don't ask why he just would

[javaghoul]

do you have any fun headcanons for how Shironeki and the gang would react if he was casually listening to Shuu and Banjou argue on a bridge, when suddenly they hear a thud instead of a splash and the gas mask triplets start freaking out, so he turns around and discovers that while they were arguing about ketchup on fries they had accidentally killed an innocent elderly man with a large rock while throwing them off the bridge for fun?

I hope this isn’t too incomprehensible

not Headcanons, but enjoy this masterpiece.

A dull thud punctuated the night.

The group went silent, each trying to determine where the sound came from and what it was. Then they smelt blood.

Jiro took off her gas mask, and, leaning over the railing peered into the darkness. Almost immediately she spun back around facing the others and whispered, "There's someone lying on the ground!"

She raced towards the path, quickly followed by a confused Banjou and a no-longer smiling Kaneki. Shuu folded his arms, rolled his eyes, and followed at a leisurely pace.

He was never going to run after a gas mask.

When they reached the path under the bridge, they all stood in horror at what they saw. An elderly man lay face-down and spread-eagled, with blood pooling around his head. One could say, it was an UNHEALTHY amount of blood pooling around his head. His fedora hat lay a few feet away.

Banjou began to shake. "Di-did we kill him? That was us wasn't it? Throwing rocks? Oh my God, I didn't know anyone was there!"

Kaneki crouched down and checked for a pulse. The man was indeed very dead.

Kaneki closed his eyes briefly, either in prayer or annoyance, before sighing and standing up.

"He's dead... I told you guys to be careful."

Banjou and his minions started defending themselves immediately, stumbling over words.

Shuu looked vaguely amused.

"It appears aim is another of Banjoi's talents. Bravo Banjou, most people would only be able to hit the vast river they were standing directly above," smirked Shuu. Banjous' face flushed.

"It was an accident!"

Kaneki looked around. They were alone, thankfully.

"We can't just leave him in the path."

"Let's throw him into the river!"

"No, idiot, the body will float."

"We could eat him?"

Silence descended as they all looked at each other before turning their attention back to the corpse. Eating him wasn't a bad idea...

"Well, I shan't be eating him; I would never eat road kill," Shuu huffed.

The gas masks, Kaneki, and Banjou all laughed merrily at Shuu's silliness, before dragging the old man under the cover of some conveniently placed trees so that they could dismember him in private. Ichimi made a tasteless joke about 'old man with ketchup', which made them all chuckle. Even Kaneki couldn't suppress a smile.

The next morning, a runner noticed a fedora hat bobbing in the river, before running through a dark substance which looked like a large amount of coagulating blood. She never reported it, because she needed to get to work and people are inherently selfish.

The End.
