[osc-confessions]

Mm, alright, this is. Probably going to be a long one. This could probably be a video essay if I heavily elaborated on everything, hah.

Well, y’know those asks talking about how season 2 is retconning a lot of season 1? Yeah, they’re right.

The thing about season 1 is that they didn’t actually write very much of the show ? The character dynamics and the characters themselves aren’t actually properly built up, and the deaths don’t have that much impact. It also really isn’t a mystery. It’s just murder. There’s no questioning who would be the murderer because there isn’t any possible motivation. Who could be controlling GPS isn’t a mystery that the audience gets to think about either, because there aren’t any given hints, you just have the question.

Let’s go back to the character dynamics, all of them are, vague in the first season to put it lightly. They’re made better in season 2, but I shouldn’t need to watch a prequel that did not exist to actually appreciate it.

The main cause for this is the fact that they separated the duos almost immediately. They don’t get to develop or show any of the relationships because none of them get to interact. It also is a really strange decision from a detective in general, though I do suppose that it was explained by the fact that Speaker is a bad detective.

However, the issue with that is in season 1, it doesn’t come off as “Speaker is incompetent”, and instead that “the show’s writing is flawed.” They don’t proper showcase Speaker’s flaws in season 1, so this reasoning doesn’t work, and honestly can be interpreted AS a retcon !!

Anyway, away from the tangent, the character dynamics don’t get developed because of this writing decision. The writers don’t even work with the idea of separating the characters into groups of people who don’t trust each other. Some of the characters note that they hope that the other person in their duo is doing okay, but nothing else besides that, which only gives the idea that they don’t actually care about each other that much.

GPS and Top Hat are canonically in a romantic relationship, but that’s never actually hinted towards in any way. It’s not like I need them to kiss or say “I love you,” but any signs of affection would’ve worked. Top Hat notices that something’s off with GPS, but only because of an inconsistency in GPS’ story. He doesn’t comment that GPS is acting differently, or that they are or aren’t doing something that he usually does. There aren’t subtle character moments like this, which makes their relationship feel more shallow. I don’t believe that Top Hat cares about GPS deeply because he says nothing about that.

Top Hat grieves for GPS, but he doesn’t grieve for anything specific, just GPS as a person. There could’ve been a moment where Top Hat expected an action but never got it. There could’ve been a moment where Top Hat stared at something that reminded him of GPS, but the writers never have anything like this. Besides! A moment like that could’ve easily characterized Top Hat with what he cared about specifically. Anyway, them as a duo doesn’t really work.

Spray Paint and Mousey have a fantastic dynamic shown in season 2, however, in season 1, they have practically nothing. That entire episode was well written, but I can’t appreciate as much as I want to because it’s very clearly a retcon. The writers seem to be making up for their past mistakes, it’s just that, yet again, I don’t want to be able to enjoy something only because of a prequel that didn’t exist when the episode released. If this was intended though, then all I can say is that is

They have a cutscene, but that cutscene doesn’t provide any evidence that they care about each other, only evidence that Spray Paint engaged in bad behaviors and that Mousey was bothered by it. It made their relationship only appear worse than provide anything good.

Speaker and Sketchpad. Aren’t really. Written at all ? They’re a duo that remind me of Sam & Max and that’s all I can say. I see the most closeness between them because Speaker still seems to like Sketchpad despite his antics. It’s just that that doesn’t say very much because the others don’t really have anything at all.

The s1 characters !! Ahhh yes.

Top Hat, I. Can’t. Name a character trait from him. That may be a me problem, but most of what I can see from him is that he’s grieving and that’s the main trait I can get from him. Maybe I just didn’t pay enough attention to him.

GPS, we don’t really know what he’s actually like because he doesn’t get much screen time before he’s controlled and the main perception of him we get is a grieving Top Hat. We don’t get a mystery that they’re being controlled because the show reveals it immediately. That cutscene also was, very unclear and didn’t say basically anything? We’re probably going to get an explanation, but it can’t function as a mystery because there aren’t any clues. The scenes where he is being controlled only shows that his controller is incompetent. Their death doesn’t have a strong impact because the audience didn’t get to know them as a character, but because he is the murderer it still has an impact I suppose. I can’t really care about his controller though because they haven’t written any hints on who it could be. Uhh here’s a confession to pair up with the rant, he’s uh. Gender.

Spray Paint, he’s really interesting, however, in season 1, the audience doesn’t get to understand his character conflict. It doesn’t make sense why he decides to be the hero and for all he knows, sacrifice himself. It makes sense in season 2, but you know what I’m going to say. His self sacrifice doesn’t have much impact because we don’t understand him as a character and also didn’t really get to know him. His episode also was really confusing the whole way through because of that, it doesn’t make sense why we’re learning this if Spray Paint is dead. The reveal made it much better. This part is much more debatable whether or not it’s a writing flaw but it is a thing.

Mousey, really good in season 2! Nonexistent as a character in season 1. I don’t have anything else to say, I like her but I wish she was better. Her death kinda just happened and the after math didn’t have anyone struggle except Spray Paint.

Speaker, he should’ve been written a lot more, his appearance in season 2 was nice but doesn’t make sense with what was written in season 1. I already explained him more in the tangent from earlier so I’ll go to his death. It did not have well written tension and it also pretty much just happened. Why did GPS just have two crowbars ?? Why didn’t Speaker question or react to GPS’ way of refusing to use the crowbar on the door ?? The scene doesn’t have much tension and the animation afterward was really good looking but. The set up and I guess build up didn’t deserve that pay off.

Sketchpad, I think he was fun, but I do think that they shouldn’t have been the main form of comedy in the season. Especially since that comedy was constant, and often messed with the mood of the series. He made a joke every time he was on screen, and considering she does have a lot of screen time compared to the short run time, Sketchpad. Didn’t really work well. He’s fantastic in season 2 because he CAN be serious and I think it made the guy a lot better!! I like him in season 2 a lot!!

Diamond Ring, I’m glad she’s gotten relevancy that also helps show that everyone is connected, but she doesn’t serve like. Any purpose. You could remove her entirely and I don’t think anything would change, and if anything it would make the show make more sense ! Her death had absolutely no tension written for it, and everyone being so casual about it was just really off putting in a bad way.

The thing is, season 1 doesn’t have tension despite the fact that people are dying. Each death is treated really casually, and none of the character’s pain is that clearly shown besides maybe Spray Paint and Top Hat in the credits. There isn’t any mystery in the show, which also doesn’t help with the tension. There’s nothing to be concerned about because things just happen and there isn’t any build up to a majority of the events. It’s a show where dying is permanent, so the writers should treat it like it has impact. I think The Nightly Manor’s season 1 could’ve been really good, but unfortunately, the season just feels like an unfinished outline. It feels unfinished in terms of writing, and I kinda wish the second episode of season 2 wasn’t mostly used for retcons. Because characters dealing with grief is a really interesting topic to write about, episode 1 was really well done because of that!

The Nightly Manor is, a thing, not my favorite thing, not my least favorite thing. I’m glad it’s getting better at least.

- Sun anon <- sorry about the really long one

idk what to say lol

[shitty-davesprite-daily]

Davesprite, why can't I remove my glasses? They're like glued on or something? Do you know who could've done this?

- Tophat Anon

TG: uh

TG: no i dont what the fuck

TG: you good dude?

[bizarrorockyguy-irl]

I do say, when will the others be arriving if at all ? (Are they gonna be played by you as alt accounts or are you waiting for others to join you?) I’d love to meet them myself in their own ask boxes !

And where HAVE you lot been hiding all this time after that Darkleys school?

-🎩

Ah, Zane has an account already, however has done nothing with it so goodluck finding it until then.

As for where we have been hiding...Around . 😉 (iow Zane would absolutely have my head if I told.)

(Ooc note: I will only be running Onyx'(Bizarro Cole's) account lol, I'd rather leave more options open for others to join if they'd like. Also I already struggle to reblog to the correct account so I think 3 accounts is enough for me to run(my main, this one, and one other acc))

[jesterjamz]

as far as thy knoweth it is seems to just be thy. - ♦️

alright cool

[toskarin]

we need to introduce femcels to peacocking because if a girl shows up to a bar or perhaps a club with a stupid-looking shag-carpet tophat then she's not leaving without at least one new girlfriend

I'm gonna be real with you anon: femcels are not having sex with women either.

[lixenn]

what is KHR?

I see my liege couldn't satisfy your thirst for knowledge Anon but never fear, for Lix is here with answers! (I'm mostly winging this btw, I can promise you there are probably lots of other people who could give you an essay breaking down khr but you came to me so I will try my best)

KHR stands for Katekyo Hitman Reborn. From the wiki: It's is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Amano. The series was first serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump on May 31, 2004 in Japan, where it ended on November 12, 2012.

The story is about Sawada Tsunayoshi, a japanese middle school student who lived a fairly normal life (if one filled with bad grades, no friends and clumsiness) until Reborn knocks on his door proclaiming himself Tsuna's new home tutor.

Plot twist: Reborn looks like a baby and calls himself the world greatest hitman.

Second plot twist: Reborn was hired to make Tsuna into a mafia boss because Tsuna is the last heir of the Vongola Famiglia the most powerful Mafia family in Italy.

Sounds cracky? Honey, this series lives of crack. It's starts off as a gag manga but in the later arcs it gets more and more serious while still holding up the undertone of absolute ridiculousness we all know and love.

Imagine if you took the mafia and just made it as Anime as possible while sprinkling in the Gay™️and you basically get khr.

Example for KHR craziness out of context:

The power system is rainbow coloured flames (gay...)

A five year old (a real one this time) has a bazooka which allows him to travel through time.

Apart from Reborn there are 5 other superpowered infants running around each with their own animal companion.

Two words: Weapon. Jewellery.

One antagonist can see through the multiverse and is obsessed with marshmallows.

Another one is obsessed with throwing things and his second in command (gay again....)

The mafia police is made up of spiteful zombies with a tophat fetish.

And that's not even scratching the tip of the iceberg Anon! KHR is filled with insanity and chaos, with stupidity and mayhem.

Honestly, KHR is a gigantic mess, but it's our mess, so we collectively bid sanity goodbye and just walk backwards into hell.
