Recent discoveries in the automotive cybersecurity landscape have unveiled a series of critical zero-day vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to gain full control over vehicle systems. These vulnerabilities, highlighted in a presentation by security researcher Amit Geynis of PlaxidityX, underscore the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures in the automotive industry. Series of…

Ok so



I personally didn’t see this scene as Ragatha realizing she’s alone
I actually think this is her making the choice to give up on getting closer with Pomni
See, It’s important that we got these moments in between Ragatha realizing Pomni and Jax have grown close enough to act like friends





Between her getting to know about someone she’s supposedly been stuck with for years and still being on good terms with someone she’s felt guilty for treating poorly
Ragatha is actually shown to be growing closer with the others
This is her feeling the warmth and validation she’s been seeking out
She doesn’t need more friends, she’s had some pretty good ones already, and in her obsession to be liked by yet another person has made her forget that a bit
Her brief moment of explosive anger with Pomni (very justified anger I might add) and then witnessing how Pomni was choosing to keep talking with Jax (the one who made her angry in the first place) made her feel betrayed


She’s watching Pomni bond with someone who likes to hurt others
She’s been wanting to get closer with a person who who wants to spend their time with someone who hurts her
So at the end, I think she’s realizing that this is not the kind of person she wants to get close with anymore
#i want to reiterate that I don’t think Ragatha will abstract#not because of this#but I do think her behavior with Pomni will definitely change by the next episode#Pomni is certainly not doing all of this to be cruel to her#I actually think she’s well aware of how her actions affect Ragatha tho#she wanted Ragatha to bat for her to give Jax the space to actually talk#since he clearly does not want to be vulnerable around others#but he does seem to let his walls down when it’s just the two of them#Pomni’s trying to get to the root of the problem#and she can only do that by spending more time with the guy#but of course Ragatha would take this very personally#Pomni doesn’t dislike Ragatha#but she doesn’t dislike Jax either#the two of them are more alike than either would ever admit tho#character analysis#the amazing digital circus#tadc episode 5 spoilers#tadc#tadc episode 5#tadc ep 5#tadc ragatha#tadc jax#tadc pomni#tadc zooble#tadc gangle#biscuitbites

luffy’s memory issues are one of my favourite parts to his character. apologies for the personal anecdote, i promise it’s relevant to the analysis, but i have memory issues too. and while i’ll never truly be able to articulate the experience, it’s a scary thing to not remember. people know who i was in the past better than i do, and i live each moment understanding that the present is all i have in guarantee.
i’ll never know the exact reason behind this, but i know at least some stems from what i have unconsciously done to soothe myself from past pains and loneliness. some part of me thinks that luffy has done that too.
luffy’s childhood was horrific. while not morbid and unimaginable like law or robin’s for example. and it wasn’t framed by specific moments of catastrophic tragedy like franky or chopper’s either. instead, it was continuously difficult in an everyday way.
from as young as we have seen luffy, garp has either been absent or cruel; his one family member. he lived in a jungle at age ten, thrown into the fire all but literally by his grandfather. it is inhumane and unjustifiable from garp. he was raised by mountain bandits, and yes, mountain bandits who did their best and were better, constant figures in luffy’s life, more than anyone who had inherent responsibility towards him; mountain bandits nonetheless.
dadan & co never asked to be guardians, and never quite learned to orientate their behaviours to be so. luffy was in less than ideal conditions, treated in less than ideal ways at times, and was never truly, gently cared for other than brief, fleeting moments with makino and shanks.
his brothers, while they grew to lean on and love each other, were initially so against even the idea of him. sometimes isolation is bearable until it is obvious. and luffy, who must’ve been so alone, was now also being pushed away. his one haven, ace, someone near his age in the exact same situation as himself, wanted nothing to do with him. and that jungle must’ve felt a lot bigger despite his situation not having changed.
luffy’s life has been a battle of constant, small problems. he has larger traumas like shanks losing his arm and losing sabo, and that all adds. if luffy sat and dwelled in his past memories, what would he find? not countless searing horrors but a day to day existence that was synonymous with tinging unhappiness.
it’s not far fetched to theorise that luffy’s unending clamber to simply live resulted in a memory filled with gaps, and a memory that will never adhere to names that well, or remember what happened that week. losing ace no doubt didn’t help, in fact it may have resigned luffy’s memory to its fate. a life of loneliness and constant struggle, united with an incomprehensible trauma.
it means a lot to me, and i see a lot of myself in him, as he forgets things which are important to him; as sombre as that is. like marco’s name, who he only remembered to thank and couldn’t remember anything more. it aches to not know, the fear of not remembering loved ones, losing what little i have. i wonder if luffy fears losing his memories of ace? i wonder if he curses never being able to forget the sound ace made as he fell to the ground, but not being able to remember how his smile reached his eyes.

Hey! I apologize if this question has been asked before since it seems like a pretty obvious one, but where do you think the idea of Aventurine being a sex slave came from? Other than the obvious factor of it being something fun for the fandom to mess around with, I mean.
It's something I kind of took for granted as being true before playing his quest, but after finishing it I realized there wasn't really any indication. The only thing I can really think of is his master's comments about him having a good body. Is there anything in his behavior you can think of that would lead to this conclusion if it wasn't a popular fan interpretation already/kind of just an easy conclusion to reach with a slave character?
(also kind of related but what do you think of the idea that he sleeps around/with his clients to make deals? he's obviously willing to sexualize himself with the boob window, but that doesn't necessarily mean he goes further.)
As far as I can tell, the idea that Aventurine was involved in sexual slavery comes from three (maybe four) places:
First, the comment from the master about Aventurine's appearance. People were holding this comment up as refutable proof that Aventurine was used in sexual slavery on top of being tossed into the Hunger Games; however, the response from other players on this interpretation, especially the Chinese side of the fandom, was very mixed, with a lot of people pointing out that the context in the game probably meant the slave master was talking about Aventurine's ability to attract attention from fans watching the literal Sigonian Hunger Games, rather than having a direct sexual-slavery connotation.
Second, the comment from Sparkle about stripping naked and getting on his knees for Sunday. This one has way more implication in English than I think it might for an Eastern audience, actually. In English, this pretty much sounds like Sparkle saying Aventurine trades sexual favors for success in his gambles. However, I suspect the original intention in Chinese was more about humiliation. Western audiences don't have as much history with honor-based prostration, i.e. accepting corporal humiliation as a form of reconciliation that Eastern audiences might be more familiar with. And in any case, Sparkle is Sparkle. She probably just went for the lowest blow she could think of here.
Third, the general assumption that if Sigonian slaves were being chained, branded, beaten, sent to death matches, etc., it seems logical that they would also be taken advantage of in other ways. I honestly think this is probably the fairest take--many, many real slaves around the world faced (and still face!) sexual abuse, so if slaves from Sigonia were treated so poorly you could make them fight to the death for entertainment, it stands to reason they were probably also not safe from other forms of assault. We also have no idea what happened to Kakavasha in any of the years between his being a tiny child fleeing the massacre and then being purchased as a slave as a late-teens-early-twenties person. That's a very long time for a child to have to survive on their own on an extremely hostile planet and not face risks of all kinds or end up needing to do unspeakable things to survive. So I think this is at least not that far-fetched, although it's important to say there's nothing in the game that directly confirms this.
And fourth: I read a tweet semi-recently that stated that one of the Chinese (or maybe it was Japanese) names for a quest Aventurine was involved in was actually a reference to a book about a teenage sexual assault survivor. However, when I tried to verify this myself, I couldn't find any quest Aventurine was in that was based on a book about sexual assault in either English, Chinese, or Japanese. It's possible I just missed something, but I'm taking this one with a bit of a grain of salt currently, since I can't confirm it personally.
Regarding your other question, about whether I think Aventurine sleeps around to make deals...
I definitely think he does not, for one major reason.
First, I will admit that Aventurine is definitely willing to use his appearance to his advantage. This is pretty obvious. He wears incredibly flashy clothes, baths himself in cologne, overloads on glittering golden jewels, and absolutely calls attention to his appearance when working with clients.
We see him actively doing this in his Moment Among the Stars video, where he is clearly using his looks as an equal tool (to his wealth), to daze his target.
It's not an accident that he says things like "Use me as you wish," with all the explicit connotations preserved. The implication is there. However, unless he was absolutely backed into a corner, I think that implication is all it will ever be.
The reason I think this is that the devs go out of their way to give Aventurine three fairly noticeable physical behaviors in his in-game scenes:
For one, he has some of the most closed off body language of any character in the game.
Aventurine's default conversation pose is arms crossed directly and tightly in front of himself. This is like "Defensive Body Language 101." By crossing your arms, you put a symbolic barrier between yourself and the person you're speaking to, and also ensure that your hands are up and available in case you actually need to physically defend yourself.
Virtually all of Aventurine's conversations take place from this stance, no matter who he is speaking to (from the Trailblazer all the way to Topaz). He deliberately closes his pose off and tightens up his silhouette, which just sends a glaring "Don't touch me" message.
This closing off is also blatantly apparent when you compare it to the deliberately open poses he strikes while trying to make himself seem accessible to others (like tempting clients) or seem powerful (to intimidate):
Complementing this habit of closing himself off is a second noticeable aspect of his body language: He frequently avoids eye contact to the point that he even holds conversations while entirely facing away from the person he's speaking to.
I might be a bit lenient and say maybe he's doing this to on purpose to be mysterious, whoo~~ But... in all honestly, he just does this with everyone, even with Ratio while trying to talk about an actual important issue (wanting to look into Acheron's real identity). Hell, even the fake Aventurine does it to himself!
We can even say that wearing the rose-tinted glasses in the first place is another intentional barrier, one Aventurine deliberately removes in specific moments to give people the (false) impression that he's "letting them in" to his circle:
Now, this might be a bit more complicated in Aventurine's case, because eye contact has a whole extra meaning when eyes are the defining trait of your species and come with particularly challenging racial stereotypes. So it may be that Aventurine is simply used to conducting conversation while looking away to minimize racial prejudice against his eyes' unique appearance.
However, I'd also argue that the devs deliberately turned his entire model away in cutscene after cutscene to create a clear sense of being inaccessible, unapproachable, and unwilling to engage in the physical intimacy of standing closely, directly facing, and staring at his conversation partners.
While he faces away, he controls both the figurative and the literal direction of conversation, forcing people to keep their eyes on him while he is free to move as he pleases. Over and over again, it just says "I want to be the one in control. I'm not afraid to show my back to you, but you are not welcome to come near me."
And, in fact, that's a third aspect of his character's body language that I am sure the devs did not include accidentally: More so than other characters, many of Aventurine's conversations are conducted from weirdly far distances. Like, half the time he's talking, he's standing all the way on the opposite side of the room!
This habit of speaking from a-larger-than-normal distance is apparent in the first scene with Himeko...
And then in just about every other conversation too:
The bubble is twenty feet in every direction.
Like yes, he does approach and have conversations like a normal person... sometimes... But it is significantly more noticeable with Aventurine than with other characters that he often conducts whole conversations--even with his allies--from a distance. Just genuinely weirdly far apart.
Leaving space for Gaiathra, I guess.
And it's because these significant decisions were made with Aventurine's in-game body language that, when he deliberately alters his own behavior, it is instantaneously noticeable.
In 2.0, he closes the distance, the glasses come off, and he gets directly up in the Trailblazer's face.
It's uncomfortable not just because the player is suddenly being loomed over, but because this behavior has already been subconsciously established for the player as out of character for Aventurine.
The barriers the character himself was putting up are deliberately stripped away so that he can use physicality and demanding eye contact to intimidate his target. He has to reverse his own normal body language in order to come across as domineering (and, I guess if you're into that, appealing in a domineering manner).
And ummmm, just a tiny aside here because I can't resist:
This does mean that when the game goes out of its way to demonstrate Aventurine altering his own normal habit of distant and defensive body language, it is absolutely intentional.
Yes, this is a Ratiorine post in disguise. There literally isn't any other character in the game that Aventurine is shown being comfortable standing so close to and interacting with in this manner. This doesn't occur in every one of their scenes, but Ratio is the only character that this happens with repeatedly. It's not an accident that the devs literally added "They were walking side-by-side" as flavor text.
But look, I'll be fair: There's a great example of this in Aventurine's scene with Acheron too, where he closes the distance and attempts to make eye contact with her--seeking her guidance and closeness--and she is actually the one stepping away, speaking with her back turned, demonstrating her power and control (and issues with connection!) in that scene.
Anyway, this was a whole longggg tangent into analyzing Aventurine's body language, but my point is that, overall, the devs deliberately adjusted his model's actions in-game to give the impression of a person who clearly wants to be in control of every interaction he has with other people, who insists on distance over intimacy, and whose stances and habits suggest that he is significantly less accessible and open than his "Use me as you wish" motto might suggest.
Long story longer, I think that there is almost zero chance Aventurine is willingly ceding control over himself or the actions expected of him to anyone he isn't 100% comfortable with, and I think that using physical intimacy of any kind would be an absolute last resort for him. Frankly, he comes across as more likely to shoot himself in the foot than let someone he doesn't trust lay hands on him.
To me, he reads very much as "You may look, but you may not touch."

I don't normally talk about Frozen here, but calling Elsa a "cool girlboss" in the first movie is so diametrically opposed to what was actually shown in the movie lol. If anything, Elsa is perhaps one of the most pathetic (and I mean this in the best, non-demeaning way possible) characters Disney has ever depicted up until the end. There is a reason she and Beast are often compared, the latter of which spent a great portion of the film also being pathetic until the last act. Nothing about Elsa was meant to be "cool". No pun intended.
#elsa#frozen#meta#disney#disney meta#character analysis#txt#like people just be saying anything#neither anna nor elsa are cool girlbosses. the former is basically a doofus with a big heart and the movie makes it a point that she does#not always make the right choice and elsa needed to be saved. she was in an extremely vulnerable position for the vast majority of the movi#these are CHARACTERS not just vehicles for whatever agenda the writers wanna promote which is what i really like about frozen#these two are the real highlight of the movie#hans coulda used some more work on his villainy#kristoff is solid but imo he is not as iconic as other disney men who came before him#and olaf is a visual representation of the love anna and elsa have for each other which is great

hey mouthwashing analysts, do we maybe want to think a bit before comparing a full grown man, who is just heavily disabled, to a baby? like a literal infant? especially when there's a stronger metaphorical/psychological/symbolic avatar for the baby and pregnancy already present within the narrative? (multiple even!)
#please for the love of sweet christ stop treating or alluding to disabled characters as infantile. what is wrong with you#disabled people who need to rely on the care of others are not like babies. you guys know that right#also aside from it just being generally fucked up and weird#the possible metaphor of curly as anya's baby is very week. especially juxtaposed with the stronger symbols already associated with the#baby/pregnancy in the game (namely polle and the dead pixel; i actually prefer the dead pixel as being representative of jimmy)#also i just realized i spelt weak wrong. sorry im high#i also think curly's position is meant to be reflective of anya's. he's suddenly vulnerable#trapped. and at jimmy's total mercy (the physical assult 2 months in?)#very much in a similar manner to anya. only now- its too late for him to act. he can only witness as things fall apart#someone else on here said this but#curly and jimmy as foils- curly and anya as parallels#curly as a metaphor for the baby runs the risk of. muddying the whole thing#mouthwashing#mouthwashing analysis#captain curly#anya#jimmy

New Headcanon RE: Suo's eating habits
Suo actually is a picky eater
Like, in the way that he has issues, sometimes randomly, with both texture and taste
So it's just a LOT easier to say he's "on a diet" and then figure out how to eat things at home
Furin has figured out so far that:
Suo will eat small bites of things if you keep handing them to him - and KEEP handing it to him, even when he sets it down
You CANNOT MENTION IT. If you bring it up, it dispels the magic! He won't eat it then! DON'T SAY ANYTHING!
His social politeness makes it hard for him to turn down food gifts from the Makochi community
Those things are often the easiest thing to get him to try
His expression changes on things that he really doesn't WANT to eat (but you gotta be paying attention)
Sakura can get him to try anything once so long as it is something Sakura also hasn't tried
Nirei is good at describing and breaking foods down to flavors and textures which makes Suo more comfortable trying things
They need to be subtle cause Suo is obviously not comfortable with his food issues
They're not super good at being subtle
Suo thinks it's super childish and kinda hates that he has this issue because he hates being "childish" more than like anything. He'd rather get punched in the face.
But he hates having to be accommodated more
And it's something he's already been dealing with and doesn't feel like he needs to change anything
His family growing up also thought it was "all in his head" or a hold up on being a kid so they also didn't try to accommodate him
Umemiya is horrified - the food man did not know one of his little bros COULDN'T EAT HIS FOOD. It tears him up a bit
Nirei has a second book that is "top top secret" with the foods and styles of food they've gotten Suo to eat
Tsugeura is actually really good at making like "hidden food" recipes, like the ones where the veggies are hidden and don't taste/texture like the veggies
Kiryuu will use all of his father's money to buy Suo all the tea and tea cakes he wants. It's not an issue. He would and has bought worse.
Sugishita cares but also won't push about it because that's not his personality; if Suo is sitting with Sugishita then everyone knows he's Not Eating today. Sugishita can and will snap fingers if someone tries to bug him
Sakura is clumsily concerned and awkwardly trying to help in his own ways. If for no other reason than Sakura is reaching out first, Suo will try his hardest to eat whatever Sakura puts in front of him
The gist is, they love each other your honor and Suo's disordered eating is Important To Me.
#wind breaker#suo hayato#wbk#wbk anime#wbk manga#character analysis#headcanon#suou hayato#sakura haruka#kiryuu mistuki#kiryu mitsuki#nirei akihiko#taiga tsugeura#kyotaro sugishita#THEYRE SO IMPORTANT TO ME OK#like just them being so THERE for each other is so important#being vulnerable and opening themselves up with each other#listen Suo is going to either be a super maladjusted chunni#with an UTTERLY normal family#or the second most tragic character we have seen on screen

the parallels between ivan and adrien this episode hurt so bad because what if it’s showing what could possibly happen to adrien if he found out? if he was angry as ivan and if he felt as much guilt… he could go the route of giving up his miraculous and ladybug never seeing him again or using its destruction for worse like ivan’s coping with his drums ☹️
#or maybe i’m stupid#i just never have any idea where they’re going with adrien’s character#so i try to guess and then im shocked anyways#ml#miraculous#miraculous ladybug#adrien agreste#chat noir#ivan bruel#el toro de piedra#ml el toro de piedra spoilers#ml el toro de piedra#ml analysis#ml theory#IM BEING VULNERABLE i hate giving my thoughts what if im wrongggg

People on tiktok infantilizing curly from mouthwashing and saying that him becoming crippled was his punishment. Killing u. With my teeth.
#decades of begging to not be infantilized when we're dependent on people and tiktok ruins it#also the “divine punishment” thing is disgusting but it was probably what the developers intended idk#eyelids burned so hes forced to be a passive observer. legs gone so he cant run away. flesh laid bare and vulnerable#it's a fucked up rhetoric still. people dont become disabled because theyre bad people we become disabled just bc it happens#also curly is not a great perfect person whatsoever. his need to keep things friendly between the crew is what doomed them all#but people CANNOT handle a morally gray character.#tbh what was curly supposed to do? giving anya the gun while she was breaking down would be stupid#but he couldnt just turn around the ship and drop off jimbalaya or file a report. a big message in the game#is that corporate doesnt care if they live or die.#not saying curly didnt do anything wrong#mouthwashing#mouth washing#character analysis#captain curly#curly mouthwashing#cripple punk#disabled

Hannibal's toilet being removed in the BSHCI is something I'll always want to explore in fics because the whump possibilities are endless. Humans can supposedly only last three to five days without water. Hannibal is no different.
Hannibal's toilet is removed and a gaurd needs to escort him to the bathroom from now on. His meals are suddenly being left on the floor right outside of his cell where he can look at them but not reach them because no one wants to have to take him to the bathroom. For the first day, Hannibal doesn't feel very put off by it because the food isn't even that good. He needs to use the bathroom but no one comes. So he ends up peeing in a corner. Then, the next day comes and he starts to feel thirsty and his stomach is growling. His plate of food is left on the floor again. He smells the first plate of food start to go bad. Two more days pass and Hannibal's mouth is now dry as a desert. He tries to ignore the hunger and the thirst. He faces the wall to keep from seeing the food just out of reach. He knows humans can only last so long without water. That's when he starts to feel real fear. He swallows his own saliva because he's so thirsty, but it becomes impossible when his mouth is so dry. His lips are chapped now, uncomfortably so. He doesn't have to use the bathroom anymore because there's nothing to expel. This is the first time Hannibal's gone without food in decades. Imagine how much trauma would resurface. Being starved when food is still visible. Like in the cabin. He's getting quite scared now when it becomes the fifth day without food or water. He lays in bed because of fatigue. He doesn't expect to see Will on the afternoon of the sixth day. Imagine Hannibal regressing in that moment because it's too much; being so thirsty and hungry and seeing Will (who is mad at him after sending someone after Molly). He wonders if this was Will's idea. A form of punishment. He's curled up in bed when today's dinner plate is passed through his cell. He doesn't move to get it. There could be something in the food or the water. He's being watched by Will so obviously something must be amiss.
Five minutes pass and Will is still staring, brows furrowed. "Come eat," he says.
But Hannibal can't even if he's craving a droplet of water. Dread fills Hannibal's veins when Will leaves moments later. Then, Will returns twenty minutes later with a bag of food from one of Hannibal's favorite restaurants and a key and a water bottle. He feels relieved and overwhelmed all at once. Hannibal is struggling to sit up because he's feeling so weak and lightheaded. So Will needs to help him, and that's when Will notices how chapped Hannibal's mouth is. That he's probably not eaten or drank anything at all in the last few days.
Imagine Will asking "Are you thirsty, sweetheart?" and Hannibal starts tearing up and nodding. Will guides a straw past Hannibal's chapped lips and is left in shock when Hannibal finishes the entire bottle in a minute, still trying to drink even when there is no water left.

There's something so haunting about Futurama's The Sting episode. Idk why, but it has stuck with me for literal years.
Perhaps it's because we see Leela's perception of reality crumble from Fry's death, even if she was the one dreaming. The way the voice actor delivered her lines at the end when Leela was crying that she couldn't stand living anymore had me near tears first time watching.
"I CANT!"
She screams, ready to give up. Leela is perhaps the most stubborn person in the show, and yet, here she was, ready to accept her death, wanting it.
I remember being so memorized by it. Such a strong character feeling so weak.

i’m honestly not at all surprised by fadel being the one between the brothers to fold like a wet napkin because the difference is that fadel truly believes he knows what he’s doing. bison has been told time and time again he’s too naive and too trusting, so he’s trying to prove to himself and to fadel that he does have good judgement and that he won’t fuck things up because of some guy.
it also comes down to the way that they approach it in a way. bison doesn’t trust kant fully, but he’s still letting him in gradually. he’s not shooing kant away completely and acting totally uninterested - he’s establishing boundaries and testing kant to make sure he proves himself while also making it known he DOES want this. it makes those boundaries a lot easier to stick to when he’s being mostly open and honest about his intentions and kant knows what not to push.
whereas with fadel, he refused to even acknowledge he was attracted to style until he hit this breaking point. and even then, he still refused to let style in past that until he literally couldn’t anymore. everything broke at once because he literally couldn’t hold it anymore.
the difference is that while they both have walls, bison makes his clear to kant where they are and tells him he will let him past those walls himself when he’s ready. for fadel, he used them as barriers and it made style have to LITERALLY break them down by force til there was nothing left to protect fadel anymore.

I think about the Duga Ending a lot. Not necessarily the more violent one, where Bell tells their allies to head to Duga to set the trap. But the one where Bell chooses not to, says Duga anyways. With no plan.
I think about that action of saying Duga, leading Adler and the others astray—the completely wrong direction, saying nothing and giving nothing away as they sit with Adler in the passenger seat of his car. How Adler trusts Bell wholeheartedly with the answer of Duga. His dog wouldn’t lie. Why would they? They would never.
Bell, who reveals after Woods words and Adler’s coaxing of the truth—if they lied. How Bell just wanted to see their faces of frustration, of anger, of emotion, but they just wanted to see it from Adler. Bell, the epitome of petty revenge with this action—the chance to actually see the arrogant and normally stoic man break. Only to see nothing. No anger. No yelling. Adler who only has a frown and tone to match his disappointment.
Here is the person, the terrorist that led you astray and purposely caused the death of millions just for the chance to see Adler’s anger—only for him to feel disappointed. More how one would feel and look after seeing their pet pee the bed, destroy and tear off your favorite bed sheets—not at the genocide of millions.
I think about the Duga ending a lot. And how even at the end, Adler’s pride at Bell lowered significantly but not angry. How Bell’s petty revenge tasted bittersweet with blood forming at their chest from the shot, with Adler’s scarred frown looking down at them.
I think about how disappointed America’s Monster was at his precious dog that was always supposed to listen, but bit back and decided to die like this. No assault. Just wishing to see their master’s true face. Only to see that their master’s arrogance and pride was always there, Adler’s mistake. His cocky attitude bit back just like Bell did—roaring confidence that the tool he made and took out a piece of himself to do it would betray him like this.
I think about how could it be a betrayal when Bell wasn’t part of the team in the first place. “You’re still one of us, kid.”
I think about the Duga Ending, and all I see is America’s Monster being betrayed and Bell’s momentary confusion how the monster was disappointed more than angry at their gall.
I think. And I think.
And then I think of Solovetsky. I compare.
And all I can see is their relationship always ends in a betrayal in some way or another. The taste in both their mouths being bittersweet, either with blood or just as a natural after taste of killing a piece of your mind or the one who created your mind.
I think about the Duga Ending a lot.

has shinichi ever been in danger? like has he ever been kidnapped, harmed, or had his life threatened? because obviously 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯 has, but what about shinichi?

this line that ran says here implies that he hasn't ever been "in real trouble" before, but if he had been kidnapped or injured, surely she would be aware and not say this?

here conan is entirely caught off guard. clearly he isn't used to being unable to defend himself against a culprit.
if we look through all of shinichi's cases pre-conan, there's only two that could be considered "dangerous"

the first time he meets kaitou kid, he threatens ran and shinichi. obviously WE know that there's no danger, as kid would never hurt innocent people, especially not his own nephew.



the second time is the new york case. shinichi is actively pursuing a serial killer, but here vermouth isn't directly threatening him, she only makes a move to harm ran, not shinichi. and by the time she does point her gun at him, shinichi is confident she won't hurt him.
now if we look at current timeline shinichi

this is the only time (that I can find) where someone puts specifically shinichi in danger, not conan. no one else actively tries to harm him as a high school detective.
now, we don't actually see a lot from shinichi's first childhood, so the evidence is limited. but I don't think he is seriously harmed or threated until conan, there just aren't many opportunities for it to have happened.
while shinichi solves many cases, I think people forget that he mainly works as a 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 of the police, in which he's called in to cases that the police have already worked on, and in theory is as safe and secure as possible. there's not really room for someone to attack or gain the upper hand against shinichi in these scenarios.
obviously this doesn't account for any cases shinichi ran into on his own, we all know how much of a murder magnet conan is. but the thing is, that's 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯. I don't believe shinichi was a murder magnet at all.

the biggest evidence is in shinichi's first case. it's obvious he and megure don't regularly cross paths at this point, and considering shinichi spends most of his time in megure's district, if he were to run into crime, they should be familiar with each other.

another point: ran isn't used to gruesome crime scenes. in the current time in the series, ran would not be nearly this shocked to see someone beheaded, and that's all happened in just six months. considering how shinichi spends most of his free time with ran, if he attracted crime in his year of being a high school detective, surly she would have been present and had time to get used to murder scenes like this.
the police are always surprised to see shinichi already at a crime scene, and there's no joke about him being a "shinagami." you'd think if shinichi had the same track record as conan for stumbling onto cases, the police would react in a similar way to how they treat kogoro and conan. all of his current day cases the officers show surprise and delight when shinichi shows up, which could be more surprise to see him at all, but the same is true for that first roller coaster murder.

now what megure says here in the aquarium case 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be interrupted as "of course you're at the crime scene, like always." but I think he means "of course you'd be the only person described as a cocky young fellow."
I really think the very first time shinichi is ever in any danger from his detective work is at the very beginning with gin and vodka. it explains why he's so self assured and cocky, and doesn't have any restraint for running into danger. conan is way more cautious and paranoid than shinichi because he 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 danger first-hand now. shinichi never had any reason to be worried about his own safety because he's never faced any negative consequences until conan.
#sorry this is such a long post lol#i just see a lot of people in the fandom assume conan and shinichi's luck are the same#and that shinichi was put in danger pre-conan just as much as now#i think part of the point of the series is that conan's form is more vulnerable#and thus he ends up in danger more#which is why he's matured more#and is learning how to ask for help#i dont know if im just pointing out the obvious here or not#also if i missed something pls lmk#dcmk#detective conan#kudou shinichi#edogawa conan#manga#series analysis#sort of
