#the muscle

Ok so we all agree the guy in the 3rd episode of TSON is Mono/Thin man, RIGHT??!!!? CUZ LIKE.... ITS RIGHT THERE....

Ok so, I actually see where you're coming from here. HOWEVER,

Because of its behaviours and how it displays itself, I am more tempted to say that rather than being The Flesh, it is A Flesh. It does undoubtedly parallel Mono and Thin Man's behaviours, I agree with you, but I believe the being itself might be a completely separate entity.

I have seen people claim this Muscle (as Noone calls it) could be a precursor to the Signal Tower or even just it being straight up the Flesh from the Tower. Which, when comparing the behaviours, really makes zero sense. The Flesh in the Tower is cunning, silent, hidden. Nearly no one knows of its existence and the only person who does outside of Mono/Thin Man lives far off into the sea (this person being the Lady who has SEVERAL paintings of it). It feeds off of people: it traps them into its influence with masterful display. Most importantely, it makes up the entire building of the Tower.

On the other hand, the Muscle is far more... one could say, youthful and naive in some of its approaches. It really does sound like a lonely beast, desperately trying to make some friends - not to feed off of them, it just desired company. This is the part that is similar to Mono. The Muscle also seems to not be necessarely as large or as skilled as the Tower is. While it is true that it is connected to its whole building, Noone mentions that the only room that "pulsates" like it is made of flesh is the projectors room, where she meets the Muscle. She also mentions it being attached to tubes, meaning that the vein like patterns she saw in the building prior to that are just that: the tubes attached to it.

When she tries to flee, the building doesn't destroy itself trying to stop her: it cries. It doesn't need a host because the Muscle is enough for it, but the Tower does － and without one it falls apart.

Also, the Muscle is stated to only have one eye, right? A far cry from the beast residing in the Signal Tower.

I think the two creatures are similar because they are from the same species of beings. Not because they are one and the same. Would explain the similarities but also the differences: they are two separate entities with separate "personalities", if that makes sense.

The butcher was a quiet man. His hands often stained with red.

I've got this story idea stuck in my head. Not sure if I'll ever get around to doing much with it, but feeling inspired and thought I'd draw a little.

If I was a superhero, I’d be the Muscle because I can pull my muscles on command and then push them back into place.

I am genuinely so worried for all the young horny dykes going into adulthood thinking there's something "problematic" / "wrong" with them for being horny because fucking tiktok lesbians think any horny dyke content is "male gaze fetishitic"
