Considering writing a Daemon AU for D.gray-man, but is the fandom even alive enough to read it????
I like the idea of the complications of necromancy and akuma and Noah when your literal soul is something outside your body, something physical and visible.
What magic is used to get around it? What ways do Akuma affect Daemon? Does the magic keep the daemon whole, controlled by the new invading soul in it’s body? Do daemons shift with the new owner, the new soul, or does the Akuma magic keep them trapped in this form, tortured as much as the other half of their soul, chained to a form not meant for itself? Do akuma’s souls feel it, when you touch their daemon? I can’t imagine they react outwardly, but perhaps through Allen’s eye, he can see them flinch, see them scream and cry and beg for mercy for their daemon, if not for themselves. Can Allen see the daemon’s soul as well, it’s true form, chained and restrained and tortured within itself?
What do Daemon mean for Noah? I like the idea that they unsettle when Noah are reborn, that the rebirth changes them so fundamentally that their daemons must change as well, must rediscover what and who they are. But do they always resettle into the same form as their previous lives? I doubt it. There seems some separation, at least for Tiki, from the original Noah memory. But for Wisely, it seemed to be a one-to-one reincarnation. Perhaps it depends on the individual, on how much they remember and connect with their previous selves, on how much they identify with them.
And what of the Second Exorcists? Are they reborn with their daemon? Do they even HAVE daemon anymore, or did they fail to follow them into this life? If they did, are they the same as they had been the last time? Do the souls remember, even when the brains do not? Do the daemon remember their past lives? Do they see these children as themselves, or are they so different that even the other half of their souls can no longer recognize them? Or are the daemons just as clueless, just as new?
And Neah… is he still considered alive? Does his daemon remain, alive and alone? Does his soul still long for his brother, for his best friend? Do they need to stay nearby, need to cling to the other half of their soul?
Oh god. Oh god Timcampy is Neah’s daemon. Hidden in plain sight, disguised as a golem.
Wait. Neah and Mana were the same person once. Could Timcampy be BOTH of their daemons??? Ohhhh boy, and combined with the theory that Mana sealed his soul inside Allen with the curse, and how much Mana cared about his little Pierrot, and how much Neah and Allen had to care about each other for his reset to make sense, of course a piece of their soul would love him too, of course a piece of their soul would mourn him even if Neah would not allow himself to, and of course their daemon would WANT TO STAY CLOSE-
I may be posting some polls soon about what Daemons characters should have, or I may go take that one weirdly-specific Daemon quiz from the perspective of the characters.

Another colored page! This time it’s D.Gray-Man, chapter 219.
I remember reaching this scene for the first time and being so struck by emotion. I was in the backseat of my parent’s car and it just made me feel like my heart was being sucked out of my chest. It was even worse because this was the chapter I caught up with DGM.
I’m not so sure about Allen/Neah’s hair, but I loved how Mana turned out!

Re-readint some chapters. Idk if this was just a little fun Hoshino had here but the tear allen shed from his now cursed eye when he heared the song + it changing shape in the ark really makes me believe stronger that the memory of that night mana became Akuma was all false.
Also remember when Allen (Nea) met Mana I think in chapter 218, MANA WAS CRYING BLOOD FROM HIS LEFT EYE.
