i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..

like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO

less specific ones include:

"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*

"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"

"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."

(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)

Everything you've ever known about Mantra is WRONG.

Over a year ago.

I joined the community completely unaware of how to start with creating Mantra lore, I joined a few trends that were organized to be complete shitposts. The gluetrap was kinda the way he was introduced to Tumblr. Looking back at it now, it kinda bugs me that I couldn't clarify it, not being canon.. As I didn't have really ANYTHING to work with at the time with his canonical lore, considering it blew up so much, it was what I was gossiping over at the time.. Not realizing that it may be what idolized him.

Now that I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with Mantra's character and lore, something that I've noticed is how it may be impacting how others started to get to know him as a narrator. I feel comfortable coming out to properly execute the false information of what felt canon. I do want to focus a bit more on his seriousness of his character.

As for the scar situation, I already plan to explain that in his backstory once it is done. As for any AU interactions, there are parts I'm tackling to rearrange for some actual relationship bonds that he has with people. A lot of it is still questionable gaps.

Im asking you guys to please keep in mind that those trends are AUs, not CANON.

Who says the episode title phrases in each episode of Wolf 359?

I've created a spreadsheet to show which character says the episode title phrase (i.e. the words which form the name of that particular episode) in every episode of Wolf 359. Graphs summarising this data can be found below, but to look at the full spreadsheet in all its glory, and see the progression through the series, you can follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cQLkhxbDAItU6rdiUAYGn54FXXxYC-JXlCmP_Dqe9FA/

(Please note: I’ve focused here on which character first speaks the exact title phrase within the episode itself. In some cases, this is not the only - or the most significant - time that the title phrase is spoken.)

EDIT: This post previously stated incorrectly that "the devil's plaything" is not said in Ep57. In fact, it is said by Pryce (through Minkowski). Thank you to @yaghoulghosty for pointing this out!

Whoops.

(I wanted to make a clear note that the monitor head design I have for the narrator is just a tool and not his actual true body)

Indescribable Emptiness

Words: 956

Warnings: you threaten to kill him but it’s not in a serious manner, also it’s been a few days and my memory is poor so potential inaccuracies

Description: !!3.3 Archon Quest Spoilers!!

My take on you-know-what from the new quest, and how it might affect the Wanderer’s significant other

—

Something isn’t right. You’ve been staying in Sumeru in a hotel room with a bed too large for you. As you walk your normal route around the city, your legs keep carrying you towards the Akademiya. You think of something and open your mouth to share, only to turn around to an empty room.

It’s suffocating.

The more you think, the blurrier your head gets. There’s no logical explanation for any of it. It’s as if there’s someone who’s meant to be there, but you’ve lived alone for your whole adult life. Maybe the loneliness is finally driving you insane.

You decide to take a walk to clear your head. It’s getting late, but that just means you’ll run into fewer people.

The view of the sky from the higher levels of the Akademiya is nothing short of stunning. Someone, perhaps when you were younger, told you something strange about the sky once. You remember laughing, then feeling bad when you realized they were serious. Still, you can’t attach words or a face to it.

You raise your hand up to the moon, and the wind that blows between your fingers reminds you of how cold they are. This walk was supposed to help, but tears of frustration threaten to spill from your eyes. You grieve for something that, as far as anyone can tell, never existed.

You rub your eyes, thinking about how loud you’d scream into the night were you not in the middle of the city. (The insomniac scholars must truly be thanking you.) Not wanting anyone to see you, you turn around to head home. You can hardly see through your tears and, as luck would have it, you run straight into someone.

“I’m so—“ you pause the moment your eyes meet the stranger’s.

He’s gorgeous, but that’s not all. Something about him feels familiar and warm, like your bed after a long day of work. You wrack your brain for who he might be, but come up blank.

“Do I know you?”

He startles. “You shouldn’t.”

“Sorry, your face just looked familiar. I hope I didn’t bother you.” As intriguing as he is, you really shouldn’t be letting a stranger see you cry. You walk past him. Hesitate. Turn back around.

The man meets your gaze, eyes wide.

“You… you’ve been crying.”

This is not the conversation you want to be having.

“Yeah, I guess it’s been a strange few days for me.”

Something shifts in his eyes. “I know you don’t know me, but please. Come with me. There’s something you may need to see.”

You want to say no and run, but the way he looks at you draws you right in. Still, you follow him from a distance. He leads you to—

“The Sanctuary of Surasthana?”

He nods. “I know you may not believe what I’m going to say, but you will believe her.”

He opens the door, where you are greeted by… Lesser Lord Kusanali?

“W-what’s going on? Great Dendro Archon?”

“Is this them? I thought—“

“I changed my mind.” Who could this man be if he’s willing to speak over an Archon?

Lesser Lord Kusanali turns from the man to you with a sympathetic look. “You must be confused. Please hear him out. Even if you don’t believe him, I hope you can believe me.”

The man barely meets your eyes as he explains. Lesser Lord Kusanali was right. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t believe a word he said. It was… a lot. Yet, it would explain everything you’ve been feeling.

“You… you may not have died then, but I swear I’m going to kill you myself!” You march up to him, and barely register the fear on his face before you pull him into a crushing embrace. Tears fall down your face once again. “Do you have any clue how confused I’ve been? I missed you so much, and I didn’t even know what was happening!”

“I’m sorry,” is all he can muster as he returns your hug.

“I thought I was going insane!” You pull away, then it hits you. “It’s been days! Why… why did it take so long?”

“I’ve accepted my sins, but that doesn’t mean I wanted you to have to. I thought it might be for the best if you forgot like you were supposed to.”

“But I didn’t, not fully.”

He nods.

“What an idiot. I hate you,” you say, gently taking his hand in your own. “But… you don’t have a name now, do you? What should I call you?”

“You can call me whatever you see fit.”

“What about ‘Asshole’?” You smile. “But you did tell me eventually, so I guess ‘Beloved’ works too.”

He blushes. “I suppose that does work.”

A higher-pitched giggle sounds out.

Oh. How did you manage to forget about the archon next to you? Your face heats up, and you profusely apologize.

“Don’t be sorry, it makes me happy to see you back together, even if I only knew you through his stories until now.”

Your beloved squeezes your hand, and leads you back outside. You tell him about your days apart. Before he can apologize again, you pull him in for a kiss.

“If you’re truly sorry, prove it by spending the night with me.”

You find your beloved has a sharp tongue to match your own, but his gaze at you is nothing but affectionate. When you leave the Akademiya and return to your hotel, you find the bed to be just the right size for the two of you. You tell him all the things you’ve been wanting to say the past few days.

When you wake the next morning, your hand is still entwined with his.

New Stanley Parable au

The Narrator and Stanley escape the Parable but the Narrator ends up as a cat.

How about some au notes??!

-explanation? Nunya aka who the fuck knows they certainly don't.

-Narrator can speak but bc cats talking weird people out and they don't want too much attention Narrator tends to speak with Stanley telepathically. A connection only formed after leaving the Parable together. This is another thing they don't understand but also just don't question.

-Stanley doesn't go anywhere without the Narrator usually perched on his shoulders or hanging from him in some form

-Stanley gets away with bringing the Narrator everywhere by registering them as a service animal. Which in some senses the Narrator fits that definition. (Existing in the real world after being in the parable for so long is bound to cause some emotional distress and a Narrator with bean toes certainly helps)

That's all for now but I plan to make use of this au for fun.
