"i wish i had five lives, then i could be born in five different cities, i could eat five different types of food and have five different careers, and also i could fall in love with the same person five times"
I want to talk more about Rogue. How she’s left a queen over a broken dream, wearing a crown over a broken ideal and so many deaths.
I think Erik knows. I think his heart aches. Because he’s lived with himself and his survivor’s guilt throughout. And he’s inflicted that on her.
I wonder if she understands. I wonder if she knows the reason why she was the right person for Genosha. I wonder if, once the pain in her heart quiets down, she will truly understand Erik’s ask and the responsibly he needed to share with her. Because she is better than him. Better than anyone who’s only known how to play on just one side of the fence.
Because she is the only one strong enough to overcome.
Everyone is so focused on Magneto and Gambit and what they did. It was astonishing. But we need to talk more about the ones that are left with the excruciating task of having to rise up from the ashes and fill the void.
Oh, actually, this is really exciting.
There are some interesting parallels between Yuji and the white dog (Shiro)
_ They both died on the same day
_ They are friendly
_ Both are trustworthy
_ Megumi was very attached to Shiro
In most mythologies, the white wolf symbolizes protection, intelligence, sociability and compassion, being the antagonistic part of the black wolf.
Yuji is also associated with the white tiger of Byakko, the protector of the western cardinal point (I talked about it in this post), which ended up becoming his nickname at his old school.
The curious point is that one of Megumi's Shikigami is also a tiger that has not yet been shown, which makes him doubly linked to Yuji. It's interesting for me to see how Megumi and Yuji complement each other, whether it's Megumi being the duo's strategist and Yuji the muscles, Yuji being a melee fighter while Megumi is better at long distances. Black and white, like yin yan.
I wonder if the wolf thing was intentional or just an aesthetic choice, although I doubt Gege would approve of something like that if it wasn't to create parallels. This man likes to pair manga with anime.
Overall, I'm just rambling on about these.
After the last chapter, I'm getting impatient with the manga and Gege Akutami.
the mental image of Alex acting all shocked when Jost told him that George is moving to Mercedes like the two of them haven't obviously been gossiping about that for probably as long as George has known is sending me 😭😭😂😂
