i was expecting the graphic novel to be like a basic episode, but as a comic, just with Vlad and Dan shoehorned in as phandom pleasers and nothing else, but instead it's like. 'You remember every episode from 15 years ago, right? good because we're picking up right were we left off and we're barely going to explain anything or introduce the characters to any potential new readers. also obsessions are canon now and we retconned the finale ✌️ have fun'

here they are, since we are going to hav some time before the next serial lets do a look back at how far we've come.
one thing i noticed out of all the fanart that grabs the protags and makes them pose as a team because shit just got real is that they never really interact with each other. each one is doing their own thing, so i wanted to explore how would they look like if they actually DID have to interact with each other. who would get along with who, who couldnt be able to stand the other. lots of fun.

mammon x mc concept-
MC speaks a whole lot of human world languages. Mammon does not. They’re constantly calling him words he doesn’t understand, but when he asks them what they’re saying, they mischievously refuse to tell him. So he assumes they’re probably insults.
Then one day Mammon gets his hands on a potion that allows him to understand all languages, only to realize that they’ve been calling him the Sweetest, Cheesiest terms of endearment ever.
“my soul”
“my favorite”
“my treasure”
“light of my eyes”
“little sun”
“cuddlebug”
“beloved”
I think he would combust.

[ID: A collection of screencaps of Revolutionary Girl Utena subtitles, the first four from the anime and the second two from the game.
Miss Utena, you really are naive, aren't you?
Huh? But Shiori just wants to be friends with Jury, right?
I've heard the rumors that Jury loves Shiori, but...
Do you understand what that means?
Anthy: That's true. Her partner wasn't necessarily a member of the opposite sex.
Utena: Huh? What do you mean?

one hard part about being a single thirtysomething who wants kids is that you want everything to have happened five years ago
dating? getting to know someone? building up a relationship from square one? torture when you're already on "I want to be someone's wife and have a baby" in terms of life stages
if I had my way- and please nobody take this in a tradwife sense; I'm a left-wing lesbian who loves her career field -I'd be married and pregnant with my first child right now. instead I'm almost 31 and facing down two years, MINIMUM, of dating someone before I can even think about that sort of thing. and that's IF I get into a relationship like tomorrow, which is unlikely
"there's no hurry" okay and I get that, but my mother had me at 39 and now I'm having to think about all the attendant issues of parents in their 70s a decade or more earlier than most people. AND my parents are relatively healthy. what if I or my future wife aren't so lucky? can I saddle a hypothetical child with that in their early 30s or sooner?
I just. can I get a time machine or a soulmate AU over here, please?

If Fumiko is monstrous then Fujimoto should start presenting her as such
Fumiko is written to remind us that Denji is a child, and I repeat, she is the symbol of a child's sexual trauma in all its horror and "paradoxes".
Touching Denji without his consent, catching an adolescent who hasn't yet discovered himself off guard, is the most obvious way of proving the link between the theme of sexual assault and Fumiko, but it doesn't stop there.
The fact that Denji accepts only proves this point: it shows just how much he's someone who needs boundaries and protection. He passively listens to what he's told without question simply because Fumiko has the upper hand.
She has one, but spends her time pretending she doesn't, in particular by disguising her age like a predator, calling him "senpai" when she's 22, and playing up her protective role as a "bodyguard" when she's only there to stop Denji thinking for himself
As can be seen in the dialogue between Miri and Denji, she positions herself as an interlocutor, standing in Denji's shadow, influencing his decisions and distracting the boy from the substance of Miri's message.
But she's a complete paradox, still trying to make Denji believe she's protecting him, she refers to Chainsaw Man as a "child", which rather than demonstrating a good intention shows that she's well aware of what Denji is and that she's abusing him head-on.
Who protects a child by attacking him?
Once again, I insist, these are two pages from the same chapter. Dare you tell me that Fumiko doesn't present any contradictions?
Above all, she makes it seem as if she only wants what's best for Denji, even when he hasn't responded to her pleas for help. Once again, there's a paradox: the predator blames her victim for not having seen her own vulnerability, whereas she’s only abusing those of her victim.
Fumiko is a metaphor for the very dangerousness of sexual assault, gentle on the surface but insidious, its violence only made clear and felt after the event, rising like a tide.
When Yoshida convinces Denji to give up his normal life, he leaves him in the hands of Fumiko, a public hunter, who symbolises the extent to which, despite the monster in front of them, danger also exists among men, and that the milieu of public hunters is a harmful world for a child.
I think the reason Fujimoto doesn't immediately place Fumiko in a position of condemnation is to instil a feeling of frustration and powerlessness at seeing Denji unprotected, to make it clear that "he's missing something", a parental figure.
But I think that for the writing to be complete, the author has to take a clear stance on the subject, in his own way of course, but explicitly
Seeing Fumiko next to Denji makes me anxious, it's such a common form of violence that it pulls me out of my reading.
Fumiko is a monster, so I pray that Fujimoto will have fun explicitly detailing her dark side and her horror.
If he doesn't, then she'll remain an unfinished and confusing chimera, the result of lazy writing and a fear of commitment.

Been on the furry grind lately.
She may be sweet and caring but don’t be fooled, she can suplex people with much ease and literally butts heads with fellow antler-havers as a past-time.
The flowers on her antlers can be replaced with pretty much any accessories, usually it’s the managers who decorate them (they all have fun).
