Okay but if Yuji DOES have a soul swap technique then what if he swaps his soul with Megumi leading to a confrontation reminiscent of Sukuna and Yuji fighting in his innate domain after Yuji’s ‘death’ except THIS time Yuji has the upper hand and and and

Nona the Ninth is such an experience to (re)read because you spend just over 200 pages -- a full 40% of the book!! -- being deeply confused, thrust headfirst into a brand new world. there are familiar people, but none of them are people we've spent much time with Before, so even that familiarity is limited. and then not only is everything around you SO different, the narrator just doesn't care about anything that happened Before. Nona zones out during important conversations or is physically pushed away from having the type of information that could orient the reader, so for like 200 pages you have been aclimated to this very slow, drip-feed of information.

and then you get The Broadcast, which feels like a cold bucket of clarity, or like if you were inside a bucket (perhaps initially resistant but now growing quite comfortable with your predicament) and then suddenly dumped out of that bucket into a freezing lake. in 5 pages we get more direct information than we've been given thus far but it's so fast and so much and for half of it Nona's comprehension is hampered because it's just audio, no faces, that the reader goes from being parched to drowning. the slow drip turns into a fire hose.

Ianthe is here and, inexplicably (though of course later explained), a brunette. Gideon's body is here, and extremely dead. the girl Nona has been dreaming about is Gideon. Ianthe's biting commentary is both comfortingly familar as well as deeply disquieting; the enemies of the Empire's forever war no longer being mysterious, unnamed forces but Nona's friends and the city she loves so much.

and then the book just. does not let up from there. the firehose continues for 300 more pages. you've been lulled into complacancy by 200 pages of Nona's School Days Adventure, but Situations have come to call. this is still the Locked Tomb Series, and your respite is over.

Idk i cant help but think about the moment before falling asleep with Levi. Just two of us, silent, in our dark bedroom.

The moments before you drift into slumber, the calm you feel with Levi by your side. After years of being together, you now found the perfect position to end your day with each other. You no longer attach to each other like in the beginning of your relationship.

You both sleep on your backs, side by side. You no longer tangle yourselves like new lovers where being together was more important than quality sleep. Instead, now you sleep slightly lower than Levi just to rest your cheek on his shoulder. Levi has one leg over yours.

Levi never forgets to kiss your head before sleep claims him. Now you are officially in your old couple era :)

Oh, and Levi needs to have the little plushie that you got for him by his other side. And he would pat its head every night before bed too :) he knew one day he would have to lose the fight with your daughter when she's old enough to realise the plushie is cute (when you have a daughter) (he will make sure you have at least 1 little girl ;))

I'm obsessed with this picture of Marx Soul. Look at him. He's a goofy little jester who's definitely not charging a laser :)

Grian is poppies, Scar is lilacs. Grian holds the sand, Scar holds the paper. Grian is stalactites, Scar is bamboo reeds. If Grian is the TNT, Scar is the flint and steel. They are both cacti, they can't help but keep hurting eachother, trapped in a circle but which one?

How Mahoro was initially presented in early promo materials and the first episode OP & ED

When Mahoro was first revealed, she was presented as this cute and peppy love interest character that you typically see in shoujo manga. And when I first look at her, I immediately thought she is kind of an odd duck due to the delinquent-like setting BUCCHIGIRI?! is.

The promo teaser even showed a split second shot of her just being the cute character who would give the main characters some motivation (well just Arajin lol). This of course made me fear that she would be a plot device that would cause a shitty ass love triangle.

OP and ED gets a bit weird in this. When she is presented in the OP, all of the guys (sans Kenichiro and Marito) are immediately taken aback by her. In the ED, all of the main guys are dancing with her, have few shots of them getting ship teased with her and when she did the heart hands thing, all of them are immediately charmed by her.

(Wish I could include all guys being heart handed by Mahoro but I want to put in more photos)

But in the main series? Nope. None of the guys except for Arajin (obviously) really like her or are close to her. And that’s because underneath her cute appearance, lies a selfish and toxic girl who only wants her brother’s attention only. And by doing so, she ‘dates’ guys in hopes that they become the new leader of Siguma and have Marito step down so that she can have him all for herself.

The Siguma members relationship with Mahoro:

- Outa is seen being exasperated by her fangirling antics in the first episode.

- One of the mooks commented that Mahoro dated guys 24 times all so that they can be beaten up by Marito, satisfying her brocon fantasies (which in truth they’re ’tests’ to see if they can beat her brother or not)

- Hagure is shown to be intimidated by her and kept running in circles while being behind Jabashiri’s back in the second episode.

- Jabashiri hardly noticed, much less pay attention to Mahoro.

- Marito is the exception since he is the older brother but even he has limits if the face he made in the second ep is of any indication.

This even applies to Minato Kai as well:

- Kenichiro, Kamao and Zabu doesn’t know her yet but in the case of the latter two, they probably know her in passing but otherwise they hardly paid attention to Mahoro.

- Matakara does but he dislikes the way she is manipulating Arajin for personally selfish reasons. When he tried to confront her, she straight up ignored him. When he did it again but with force, she screeched like a siren and ran off.

But with all that said, let’s take a glimpse of Mahoro’s character:

- Presents herself as a shojo manga-esque character.

- But in actuality, she’s a massively unhinged brocon.

- toxic and manipulative. All it takes is using a hand heart sign and guys would immediately be ‘motivated’ by her.

- Is known to go out with guys but has never really shown any care about their personal lives (if her actions in 1st and 3rd episode are of any indication)

- morally selfish but not downright evil. Just selfish.

- can fight back if she wants to.

- doesn’t care about anyone other than her brother.

- hates being touched by other random guys who tried to question her.

- ignores people who tried to confront her about her motives.

I know that I’ve made quite a few posts about Mahoro but she strikes me as an interesting character despite her actions in today’s episode but at the same time, I do hope that she at least have character development along the way, have a backstory that explains why she is the secretly toxic and selfish brocon that she is today and last but not least not thrown or sidelined into a unconventional damsel in distress.

Anyways, peace! ✌🏻

Why were the kids in momma cq not in therapy?

Geno has a terminal illness and that fucks up full grown adults. Not to mention that he has some sort of martyr complex and puts others before himself all the time. Also, I'm sure anyone would need therapy after having to constantly break up fights between his brothers.

Error has severe anxiety and anger issues that make him hella violent and crash. Also, the scene where he punches Fresh down the stairs is crazy. I know he's like 9 in this comic, but that's old enough to understand that someone falling down the stairs doesn't mean they're okay, no matter how often Fresh is "always fine" as Error would say.

Fresh is very emotionally stunted and could use a therapist to at the very least try to help him understand why people act the way they do.
