I’ve always wondered if they’re drinking regular wine or human blood??

[fullscoreshenanigans]

(Chapter 102)

Rambled about this before on this post, but I really wish they would explained how the search party is able to see out of their masks, even if it was a single panel of Emma pointing out something like nearly imperceptible eye slits.

(Chapter 147 | Chapter 149 | Chapter 150)

Older, classical masks like those of the elder Bayons (compared to those of Bayon II's wife and children), Yverk, and Geelan's clan incorporate a pair of symmetrical, horizontal, and frequently vacant eye holes among their designs.

In the chapter 90 bonus sketch, this is mentioned as respecting tradition, which I interpret as a holdover from the days of demons hunting humans, and the intention of that incorporation was to play on pareidolia-enhanced fear among humans who, out of habit, would look toward the horizontal pair of eye holes first when gazing upon demons in combat and would frequently be treated to an unflinching, menacing abyss. It's a good subtle tactic to unnerve them before they take in the rest of the mask.

Once the farm system was instituted and demons weren't regularly warring with humans anymore, it became unnecessary and seemed to fall out of style among the general population who weren't banished like the Geelan clan.

I assume this is the main reason the kids don't opt for horizontal eye holes. There's also the issue of demons potentially catching sight of their human eyes, but there has to be some black cloth to work with in the bunker that could have lined the masks if they couldn't get whatever magic Bayon and Yverk use for no other eyes or skin to show through their horizontal mask sockets.

Either way, it's one less thing to make them stand out from the crowd when they're already contending with their comparatively short statures, human hands and feet, and having to wear perfume.

TPN possible goldy pond arc spoilers

(+ tw? it's TPN y'all what do u expect)

cannibalism as a metaphor for love but Nous took it to the next level and did it. LITERALLY.

iykyk

my guy is unhinged but i kinda get it?? ig???? (i dont)

fuuck this manga has been out for years but im still not over it smh

[graphx]

Sorryyyyyy I’ve been listening to the TPN S2 OST

I’m not even that much of a sound design enthusiast in general but I’m reading the goldy pond arc and I’m in absolute MOURNING just thinking about what we could have had (DO YOU KNOW HOW BADLY I WANTED TO SEE AN 11 YEAR OLD PUNCH HER FUTURE FATHER FIGURE IN THE BALLS???!?!????!)

Muijika’s theme fits her so perfectly I’m thinking about the other characters having their own

Would Yuugo’s be discordant at the beginning? Would that part play during his mental breakdown and fade out when he passes out? Would it get more orchestral and similar to Emma’s as it goes on? Would it be victorious and notable before you ever see the camera pan up to a smoking rooftop after he breaks leuvis’ds mask? Would it synchronize with Ray because he’s on the rooftop with him??

 Would his theme reference tea parties? Would it get more hopeful by the time it gets back to the bunker?? Symbolising that he accepts his new family??? WOULD IT BE IN TUNE WITH NAT’S COOL KING BALLAD?? WOULD IT PLAY WHEN EMMA WAKES UP FROM HER COMA??

Would it be complementary Lucas’s??Would they harmonize when they finally see each other again???

Would Oliver’s theme be similar to Emma’s to symbolize being leaders of their respective groups? Would it mirror Ray’s when he asks to be left behind???

Would the techno themes be more present whenever minerva is mentioned to foreshadow their technology being more advanced than anything they have had before (like in the testing rooms?)

WOULD THE MUSIC THAT PLAYS WHEN GOLDY POND IS PREPARING MIRROR THE TRAINING MUSIC THAT PLAYED FOR THE GRACE FIELD KIDS???

When Emma throws the axe at Luce would you be able to hear it slice through the air? The billow of Leuvis’s ridiculously dramatic cape? Could you hear the children breathing heavily as they run away? Would you only be able to hear jake, monica and theo’s running because violet and emma are used to hiding their footsteps????

Would Emma and Ray’s footsteps in the forest get softer and softer the more they learn and watch from yuugo?? WOULD THEIR FEET NOT CLICK ON THE CONCRETE??

Would Nous talk in an overlap with Nouma’s voice after he eats her? Would Nous’s scream of outrage be good enough voice acting to rival emma’s iconic scream from the first episode?? Would it sound so viscerally human for a moment you feel bad for them??

Would you hear rustles in the trees despite nous and noma aren’t moving to foreshadow paula and violet getting into sniping position??

Would the snap of the wires they set up for traps sound different when they spring them depending on how dangerous they are?

WOULD THE MUSIC THAT PLAYS WHEN THE MONSTERS ARE COMING BE LIKE SIRENS OR A DISTORTED/EERIE CHEERFUL VIBE??

Would the guns nigel specifically engineered have a different sound compared to regular bullets? Would Emma’s flash bullet have a shrill sound that freezes everything as the bullet hits leuvis in slow motion?

DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE ROTATING CAMERA ANGLES I WANTED TO SEE!!! UTILIZING THE POV SHOTS FROM THE FIRST SEASON ONLY THIS TIME ITS THE DEMONS BEING WATCHED!!?!??!

Would the scene when Emma gets stabbed and goes into an underwater dream state have more muffled music (maybe a mix of her own theme, Norman’s and Isabella’s lullaby) that gets louder and clearer the more she regains conciousness?

These are all incredibly specific and unrealistic expectations but I think I deserve to be a little delusional when it comes to this show

I’d love to hear any sounds you also would have loved to hear in tpn Season 2 (done right)!!!!

182 Days of TPN - Day 130

Chapter 130: "Something to Report"

I love how easily Emma can now admit her feelings regarding the annihilation towards her family. From initially hiding her concerns, to opening up to Ray about them and finally admitting them to Norman himself and making her stance against the plan firm.. it's quite the improvement that she can talk freely about her choices without too much worry about how everyone else will react.

Probably the main reason why I believe that the hatred the GP resistance harbored towards the demons is more justified than the malice the Lambda crew feels. The poachers were all psycho and far from innocent, unlike those demons simply living in actual towns.

Definitely the best point to bring up in order to get the other thirteen escapees concerned, and I like how it's only them shown to react to the possibility.

I know it hasn't even been a full ten chapters yet, but it feels as if I haven't seen everyone else in ages. I suppose that's solely a me problem by going through the chapters on a day by day pace. (is Rossi raising his hand?? aww, precious boy has a question!)

She says it so proudly! And hearing her repeat Ray's advice to her makes me feel so soft. My boy has such intense glare though, as if he's just waiting to see if anyone is gonna really shut down her idea. Dude is giving y'all a warning to not challenge them after Emma's worked so hard to reach this decision.

Season two saw that comment of Ray's and said "alright, bet."

It's great that Sandy & Sonya recall that one brief moment with Nous mourning over Nouma, reminding us that even the real terrible demons do have actual feelings.

Getting the chance to see other people's reactions to this whole mess is definitely something. Gillian doesn't seem too thrilled to admit that last bit though. If I was in their place, I wouldn't know which side I'd be on at the start.

Oh Don, you wonderful supportive brother you. YES! These kinds of decisions is what Emma is best know for and no matter how risky they might be, the kids were able to come so far by following their highly determined and optimistic leader.

The advantage of being the main protagonist. Or disadvantage in this case. Take your pick.

Ahha.. wait til they find out Norman's life is actually in danger due to the Lambda experiments.

Mhhmm, can't say you're gonna escape with everyone when you let one of your besties go. Granted, they left the children four and younger behind but at least she made the promise to go back for them.

He said the thing again + double head pats.

Luckily for Gilda and everyone else, our girl keeps her promises. And remains quite honest throughout the series as well. (she may not tell the whole truth during the most crucial moment of the series but what can ya do.)

I laser focus on the GP trio every damn time I come across this panel without fail. Idc if they're just standing there, I love them.

You know Norman is so deep into the WM persona when he doesn't even bother to see RE off before they venture to the Seven Walls, like he knows how risky it would be to go there, if it even exists in the first place, and he just.. straight up lets 'em go without a proper goodbye.

Favorite panel/moment:

Big sis Paula is back with more hugs.

But more importantly, there's THIS. Ray calling her crazy and no one disagrees. Also, his comment about him not being able to see her pov is sorta foreshadowing to the Seven Walls and how Emma is able to meet the demon god and not him. Sure Ray might come to understand Emma's reasoning and how her mind works eventually, but not at first, hence why he was booted out of the Seven Walls.

Plus, I adore that face of hers. I'm very happy such a tiny detail made it into the anime as well.

I also.. forgot to cross check the anime with this chapter until now. Um, yeah, some stuff remains the same of course. Tons of people missing obviously. How RE invite Don & Gilda to help with their search of Sonju & Mujika is kinda reminiscent of their conversation from ch99 actually with them being thankful to finally help with something. The addition of Emma & Gilda's headbutt is cute.

I know this is already hella long and parts of this conversation don't even happen within the chapter (or at all in the manga) but screw it, my boy looks so handsome here.

Transperceneige, le jeu de société

La campagne Kickstarter

La campagne Kickstarter vous propose de participer à la production de Transperceneige, un jeu semi-coopératif asymétrique pour 3 à 5 joueurs inspiré de la BD originale. Dans ce jeu, vous devrez prendre les commandes d'un groupe de passagers à bord du Transperceneige, un train roulant éternellement autour de la planète après une catastrophe climatique qui a plongé la Terre dans une nouvelle ère glaciaire. Vous devrez faire des choix difficiles et collaborer avec les autres joueurs pour prendre le contrôle du train tout en essayant de survivre au voyage. Mais attention, les choix égoïstes risquent de mettre en péril la survie de l'ensemble du train. Si vous aimez les défis de programmation d'actions, de coopération, de gestion de ressources et de bluff, alors Transperceneige est le jeu qu'il vous faut.Rejoignez lacampagne Kickstarter pour les aider à le produire !Votre humble serviteur va y participer !!! L'équipe de Rose Noire édition Pour financer la production du jeu, nous allons lancer une campagne de financement participatif sur Kickstarter en Mars 2023. L’objectif de cette campagne sera d’enregistrer un nombre requis de précommandes pour assurer la viabilité du projet. Durant cette campagne, les contributeurs pourront précommander le jeu à tarif préférentiel et accéder à des contreparties exclusives.

But du jeu

Chaque joueur contrôle une classe constituée par les passagers du train. Chaque classe est différente et correspond à une hiérarchisation et une fonction spécifique dans le train (haute, moyenne, basse classe).

Les joueurs devront coopérer (ou pas !) pour survivre ensemble jusqu’à une des 5 fins de partie possibles : 4 scénarios de défaite, un seul de victoire.En plus de coopérer pour survivre jusqu’à la fin de partie, les joueurs devront réaliser des objectifs pour gagner de l’influence au sein du train. Pour cela, le meilleur moyen : accéder au convoi de tête et diriger le train. Cependant, il faudra rester sur ses gardes, car les joueurs des classes inférieures auront la possibilité de se rebeller et prendre la place de tête pour, à leur tour, diriger le train et satisfaire leurs passagers ! 

Déroulement du jeu

Une partie se joue en plusieurs tours de jeu (15 maximum). Un tour de jeu se déroule en 6 étapes :- Phase 1 - Événement : Piochez une carte dans le deck Événement en cours (phase I, II ou III). - Phase 2 - Se préparer : Planifiez vos actions, échangez des ressources ou des services avec les autres joueurs, négociez… - Phase 3 - Travailler : Jouez toutes les cartes Action planifiées par ordre d’initiative. - Phase 4 - Avancer : Piochez un nombre de cartes Chemin de Fer défini par la vitesse du train. - Phase 5 - Se reposer : Les passagers au travail doivent manger et subir le froid, ceux au repos pourront se re-peupler.

Le matériel

Goldy Pond demons, but they are a glam rock band in their free time.

[the-silliest-idiot]

Anime Goldy Pond

@hevia-tokuni​ yeah that math checks out

[niuniente]

One of my favorite parts in The Promised Neverland manga was Nous and Nouma. It was the first time we - and the children - got to realize that the demons aren’t just monsters like we thought. Unfortunately anime watchers will not see this so let me recap it

Siblings Nous and Nouma (from the noble bloodline house of Noum) hunt children in a hunting sport ground made for demons called Goldy Pond, on Lord Bayon’s land. As Bayon owns one of the high level meat farm facilities, he’s able to “illegally” obtain children for Goldy Pond’s sport hunting. After the hunting, the children who are caught are prepared as dinner.

(Here’s Lord Bayon, sport hunting the children)

To make things more fun and interesting for the demons, Lord Bayon and Grand Duke Leuvis provide children in Goldy Pond medical care and weapons. Some of the children have lived and survived 3 times a week happening sport hunting for years and are now planning an uprising against the hunters; Lord Bayon, Grand Duke Leuvis, Luce, Nous and Nouma.

As Bayon and Leuvis are one of the most badass of these five demons, the kids go first after Luce and Nous & Nouma.

They manage to kill Nouma first from the demon siblings. Of course, Nous is nearby and sees it all.

The kids are absolutely shocked to see Nous cry. Like, you are a demon. You’re not supposed to have feelings or be able to love. You’re not supposed to be anything but a heartless monster and here is Nous, devastated that he has lost his beloved sister Nouma.

Not to mention Nous goes absolutely ballistic after Nouma’s death and becomes even harder for the kids to kill. He has nothing to lose anymore.

(Nous calls Nouma his beloved so readers assumed they were a couple, but it was later revealed that they’re siblings. Of course, it was never mentioned whether demons had ancient Egyptian royalty type of marriage arrangement possibility, where siblings married each other, or not. Most likely not)

I’m SO SAD we didn’t get to see this tipping point where the kids and the reader go “....Wait a minute...Can demons love? They aren’t that different from us?”

[transesyourgranddukes]

TPN Goldy Pond Demon HCs part two !! Also I’ll probably post trans headcanons for the demons soon 👀

<- previous post

Leuvis is a cat person and prefers small, weird animals, while Bayon is a dog person and prefers big ones (his family has two borzois). Leuvis is deathly scared of Bay’s family dogs though, so they settled on a tiny white pomeranian (named Puff) to take care of together. Surprisingly, she gets along with Parvus and Operiu well, despite being the calmer and most peaceful of the three. Luce, Nouma, and Nous favor her over the rest.

Not sure when, but Leuvis gets a black cat (named Tenebra) who looks very…weird, even for demon standards. Everyone’s a bit put off by Tenebra at first, but they soon warm up to him. He’s a really cuddly cat, and gets along with Puff. Can’t say the same for him and the other pets though. They get into lots of (not severe) fights. (If anyone wants an idea of what Tenebra looks like, just search up Jinx cat)

If Leuvis and Bayon are ever late to breakfast (which happens only…sometimes), it’s either they took too long to get out of bed (Leuvis dragging his wife back to the bed for ”just 5 more minutes” of cuddling), or ended up bickering again

Nous and Nouma used to share a room together in the mansion. Keywords used to. They couldn’t stand each other and complained enough that Bayon had to give them different rooms.

Bayon is usually the first to get up in the morning before the rest, quickly followed by Leuvis. By the time the former gets to the kitchen and busies himself with making tea, the Nou twins are up, already racing each other to the dining table. Luce is last to wake up, routinely disturbed by either Tenebra or Operiu if not by a servant knocking on his door.

Food crimes: Luce ate a raw egg before (as a dare. He got salmonella), as well as willingly ate several raw fish (he apparently claimed he liked the taste...and ofc he got sick again). Leuvis has eaten an entire human raw before, some time before The Promise, and was probably urged on by one or two of his older brothers. (It was not a pleasant experience, both the before and aftermath)

On the topic of food, Nous’ favorite meals are generally steaming hot, tender, and juicy. Nouma prefers something sweet but also tangy. Bayon likes light yet filling meals (now that I think about it is that an oxymoron-). Leuvis can eat an ungodly amount of sweets/desserts for someone his age without getting sick (Bayon wishes he could do the same). Luce can be seen eating multitudes of cake anytime of the day. No one knows where he’s getting them from, but the cakes get more and more fancier each time.

Today you’re dealing with me

[catherine-112]

Tpn demon age theory

1-40 = kid     50-90= teenager  100-500 = young adult   600-800 = middle aged   900/1000+= old mf 

This probably isn’t accurate but worth a try 

[phantom-path]

Just a little something cute with the Noum family :)

Demons' designs in YNN are something else

182 Days of TPN - Day 131

Chapter 131: "Welcome to the Entrance"

It's so satisfying to see that entire Cuvitidala/Seven Walls search pay off as we finally get to witness the method that'll allow them to reach the entrance correctly.

The whole ritual they have to go through to accomplish it and all the hard work they put in to figure it out in the first place is so clever in the manga that it makes me really dislike that the anime conveniently place the door underneath GF headquarters and the kids only had to take an elevator down and use their WM to reach it. I know they went through the whole GF raid beforehand but even then, that's too simple.

Is this what it feels like when you know multiple languages? That you can just switch a different part of your mind on and understand stuff without much effort? I wouldn't know. I'm dumb and only know one (unless ya wanna count reading unown.)

Oh yeah, let's not forget to mention that s2 has the door function like the actual pathway to the human world instead of the entrance to the Seven Walls. The door literally has one job and they couldn't get that right.. like I get the whole idea of the Seven Walls was completely taken out of the anime, but damn, why include it at all then??

Dozza not wanting to stand up because he'll just have to go down and kneel eventually anyway is the type of lazy behavior I feel deep within my soul.

It's just hitting me now that Dozza and Luce were related and their horns look quite similar. Bayon was easier to take notice of and the same with Noum and her relation to Nous and Nouma. I know it clearly states it here, but again, I don't pay that much attention to the demons.

Gonna apologize now for all the occasions I'll bring up the queen's fashion sense because the amount of details Demizu put into it is a whole other level of insane. The little design on her belt (I guess I'll call it that?) sorta looks like a flipped version of the center of the Seven Wall's door too. Oh, I'm also never gonna spell her name correctly. I can only call her queen. Or Legs. (I might just call her that from here on out because me, myself and I refer to someone else as queen. obviously.)

Favorite panel/moment:

I love how these panels connect to one another. It would've been cool if the blood actually flowed from the start of their hands all the way down into the jar instead of being cut off midway by the panel, but it's fine.

They both look so good in this panel as well, so brave and positive yet completely unaware of all the horrors and headaches they're about to face. Good luck kiddos!
