Do you think hisoillu romantic relationship would be confirmed more explicitly in the future in the manga?
I have read this very interesting post for killugon about how togashi Never leave thing vaguely / ambiguous and always confirmed the romance between queer characters, but in hisoillu case even if illumi said they were engaged, there still a lot of people who always repeat the excuse of («THiS Is jUsT fOr ThE mOnEy») even thought to togashi purposely shoose specific romantic word to describe It… this is why I wonder if you think we would be have additional elements who will confirme more explicitly their loves later in the manga?
I don't think so.
As the killugon post had mentioned, Togashi is all abt subtlety especially when it comes to hunter x hunter. Meruem and Komugi never came outright and said that they love each other. Alluka never came outright and said shes trans. and Hisoka and Illumi arent going to come outright to say they love each other.
You will ALWAYS have people that deny the existence of queer relationships/characters regardless of media. Even if you had Hisoka and Illumi kiss on camera, there is always going to be the people saying "This isnt illumi actually, its someone else in disguise!" or "Hisoka definitely manipulated him!" or "it wasnt actually a love kiss it was just obligation!" You'll never truly be free from queer erasure.
THE most explicit thing that could have been done in hisoillus relationship was to loudly and boldly announce their marriage, which Togashi did. And just like you said, people still grasp at straws to deny their relationship's existence. Thats just how its always going to be. You can easily debunk every single excuse they give you with full proof and evidence, and they still wouldn't care. The mistranslation excuse was debunked by a japanese speaking person ages ago with photo evidence and explanations and people will still call it mistranslation. They don't care about whats canon or what isn't, they only care about erasing queer characters from the media.
I think hisoillu specifically being unpopular as queer characters is because of the fact that theyre shitty people and the antagonists of the main lovable characters. Most people don't want to touch Hisoka with a ten inch pole and Illumi by association. But if you actually care and pay half a braincell to focus on their characters and interactions, you'd find that its undeniable that they've always favored each other in each and every single interaction they've had when they never do so with other people.
What I do think will be shown in the future of the manga is hisoillu's explicit collaboration against the troupe on the black whale and more of them working together in the future. Maybe they'll even mention the fact that Hisoka is part of the Zoldyck family now and it'll be acknowledged by other Zoldycks. But thats about it. And that's all we'll ever need, really. Let people cry and delude themselves all they want, but we as hisoillu fans should not need more than that to know whats canon and whats not.
The only way i see them being "more" explicitly confirmed as romantic in the future is if togashi had enough of bitches whining about it and straight up goes himself "is it not obvious" when someone asks him about hisoillus romantic relationship lmfao

Leigh plays Tellius prt 11
It's time to push around some priests!
I absolutely adore how Tellius has so many cartoonishly evil villains. Schaeffer especially is so much fun to hate.
Regrettably, I underestimated the boss, and wound up losing Boyd to a crit from his killer bow, so I had to do this map twice. Whoops...
On my second go, I hatched a plan that would allow me to take down Schaeffer without any risk of getting one-shot by a critical hit. I first left an unarmed Soren in Schaeffer's killer bow range, knowing that he's immune to critical hits so long as Ike is adjacent to him. Then on my next turn, I had Ike deal the finishing blow, with Reyson hovering nearby in case I needed someone to make a hasty retreat.
Schaeffer's defeat lines are so funny. You don't get more cartoonishly evil than this.
Here's a visual of what everything looked like. I actually had to use Reyson to give Ike a second turn, because he wasn't able to kill Schaeffer in one round. I also had to put that priest in the lower left corner to sleep at one point, because I accidentally left Boyd in his range with a two-handed weapon.
Now it's time for this scene! I wonder if the writing on the wall actually translates to anything, or if it's just random gibberish that's been copy and pasted.
Do we ever find out just how many siblings Reyson has? Is having a ton of siblings a heron-only thing? Or was Lorazieh and his wife just overambitious? I feel like, with how canonically frail herons are, that childbirth would be difficult for them.
How does one translate a name into a different language?
Ranulf has returned!!!
I think this may be my favorite thing Ranulf has ever said. He is such a fucking charmer. Ugh, my heart.
I snorted at Ranulf calling Soren a "nervous little staff officer". Most people consider Soren moody and detached, but I think this is the first time someone has described him as "nervous". But I think it makes sense if Soren always seems nervous around the laguz.
And now we finally get Ike and Soren's relationship to A rank! Huzzah!
I also got Mist and Boyd to B rank at long last. And it looks like Boyd is the one who started crushing first. Unsurprising, really. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Boyd's love language is dunking on people and being dunked on. It's only natural he would fall in love with Mist, who dunks on Boyd like she's getting paid for it.
Yay! The infamous Aimee and Soren scene! I always wondered about this bit, though. What do you mean, there's only one of these in all the world? Then how does one also exist in Radiant Dawn? Is this a mistranslation?
Next was the bridge map! I could have looked up a map about which squares to avoid, but I was too lazy to do that, and instead relied on my memory. Which turns out was a bad idea, because I still fell into a bunch of holes! Even so, I didn't have any problems with this map.
Lucia! Behold, a true bicon.
I had to get Petrine and Soren's dialogue. I am a little sad we never get to learn more about Petrine being Branded. How does she feel about it? Has she experienced discrimination before? Surely her experiences have influenced her fanatic hatred of the laguz. And perhaps her overconfident personality is her overcompensating for a secret self-loathing? Idk, I think it would be interesting if they explored that.
I decided to give the killing blow to Boyd, as a bit of an apology, both for letting him die to Schaeffer, but also for putting provoke on him so he would take all the hits from the ballistae.
Ike and Ranulf's C-rank conversation was immediately available after this map, so yay! And man, maybe it's just my shipper goggles blinding me from the obvious, but um, how else am I supposed to interpret this line other than Ranulf hitting on Ike?
Ike being so unbelievably tickled by Ranulf's stupid puns gives me so much life.
And that's part 11! We are getting into the endgame, and I'm starting to get nervous. Will I defeat the Black Knight? If I don't, does it count as letting Nasir die? Does that go against my "no deaths" rule?
Ahhhhh, let's hope all goes well.

I agree with anon that quoting from Yams old interview is ridiculous because yams opinions can change too just like in his very old interview eren mikasa relationship said he found it awkward to keep them together because he compared his relationship with his childhood friends but now looking at the current situation we see it canon.
No matter how much we rely on translation masters or native speakers to check the accuracy of a translation, they also make mistakes and some deliberately mistranslate. while others try to romanticize that sentence exaggeratedly and make more sense.
Yeah, that's also a well put point. I just feel like, the only way to truly judge any of these characters, and Isayama's own intentions with them, is the actual text and art, the content within the manga itself. If you have to start looking outside of that, to things like interviews, or guide books, or supplemental material to support whatever theories or notions you have about the story and characters, then chances are that those theories and notions aren't actually supported by the canon itself. So for people who claim Levi and Erwin are "together" canonically, or that Levi has some sort of special bond with Erwin above his other comrades, it's almost always the case that they're pointing to some out of context quote from Isayama, or even the voice actors for the anime, or to the Smart Pass stories, basically all stuff that's not contained within the actual, written story itself, as "proof". And that in itself should tell them that their idea about Levi and Erwin, or Levi and anyone, really, if they're relying on the same, is just that, an idea that exists in their heads, and not in the actual text, either overtly or in terms of subtext.
It's exhausting getting these endless asks and questions asking me basically the same thing over and over, where someone comes to me with something they saw someone on fucking Twitter say about Levi, and then wanting me to reassure them that it isn't true. Like, Jesus, read the manga, watch the anime, and you'll know who Levi is as a character. You don't need me to explain him to you. You don't need me to reassure you that the negative assertions that haters on some stupid social media platform make about him are untrue. Levi is so obviously a heroic figure within the context of the story. He's so obviously a good person. There are countless examples, over and over, showcasing Levi's compassion, his kindness, his caring for others. All you have to do is pay attention to him, and you'll see that. You'll see how obvious it is that his outwardly stoic appearance is just that, an appearance, and that underneath, he's easily the most compassionate and empathetic character in the whole series. This isn't some impossible to navigate piece of classic literature (though obviously, I think Isayama's abilities as a story teller are second to none and that AoT is truly brilliant). It's a manga, where the visuals are just as important to conveying the author's intentions as the words. You can see in Levi's expressions how much he's effected by certain situations, how much he cares and wants to protect others. He flat out orders his troops not to die more than once, and routinely goes out of his way to try and save lives, even of people who have treated him badly. He's openly grieved and horrified when he has to witness his fellow comrades losing their lives, his expressions almost always what can only be described as stricken. He's the least judgmental character in the series too, never trying to convince anyone that he's right and they're wrong, or win them to any cause, but instead openly listens to the thoughts and feelings of others, trying to understand (he even did this with fucking ZEKE of all people), and imparting his own understanding and experience, but never attempting to force anyone into agreeing. He lets everyone make their own choices, and respects those choices too.
I just wish people would stop bothering me with these kinds of asks, because I'm getting sick to death of answering them. Levi is a good person. He cares more for his comrades, and for people in general, than any other character. No one needs me to explain that or prove that to them. It's all there in the manga, and in the anime.

AA Mythbusters #2: What Exactly Was Mia and Lana's Relationship?
By RainSpectreX, from Reddit
All right, for our second mythbusters, we're taking on a very painful enemy...shipping.
One of the relationships which comes up often in the fanbase despite there being little material is that of Mia and Lana. One of the first things those who play 1-5 learn is that Mia and Lana have a history with each other, which is why Ema seeks out Phoenix to defend Lana. During the discussion on that subject, Lana brings up that she and Mia were "intellectually attracted". How scandalous!
This has been a very common weapon in shipping wars, given the little fact that a very vocal part of the community really hates Mia's canon boyfriend, but I wanted to ask...what was their relationship exactly?
To explain that question, let's start with the exact line which color people's perceptions of their relationship, the infamous, "attraction" line:
She was strong... She'd do anything to become a defense attorney. Anything. That... was probably why she was attracted to me. 弁護士になるためならば、なんでもやる‥‥そんなハクリョクが。きっと‥‥だから、この私に近づいてきたのでしょう。 She would do anything become a lawyer...that was her strength. Without question...that is why she got closer to me.
You...might already notice a difference, in how those lines are phrased.
Here's the thing, 近づいてきた is probably the bluntest, most emotionless means of expressing the idea of becoming acquainted with someone, in that it literally just means you were approached on a non-physical level. It sure as hell doesn't mean "attracted", or even that Lana and Mia were friends, just that they knew each other.
So why does the localization use a completely inaccurate word? It's seemingly just for a randomly inserted joke, as seen with Phoenix's line:
E-excuse me!? どういうことですか? What do you mean?
And Ema's:
Intellectually attracted! Lana was top of her class in school. お姉ちゃん、主席だったんです。法科大学で、イチバン‥‥ Onee-chan was top of her class. The best in law school...
For reasons I can't quite discern, the localization turns what in the Japanese is just some relatively generic lines in a very serious scene about Lana's character into a sudden, out-of-nowhere gag where Lana says something which "gives Phoenix the wrong impression", to which Ema corrects him about what it "actually" is. Nothing else in the JP or ENG text reflects the decision to insert a gay joke of all things where no such existed, and it's one of the few times the localization of any of the games just outright adds a joke completely.
So no, Mia was not "attracted" to Lana, intellectually or otherwise.
Which begs the question, what was their relationship, exactly?
That's a touch vaguer. For starters, there's a bit from Ema at the start of the case, after she comes to the office asking for Mia to defend her sister:
"My sister asked for her specifically. Mia Fey... was a few years below her in school." "お姉ちゃんが言ってたんです。アヤサト チヒロさん‥‥学生時代の後輩なんだ、って。" "That's what Big Sis told me. Ayasato Chihiro-san...she was her junior when she was a student."
Already, there's a pretty obvious obvious mistranslation in the first line. Lana would not have asked for Mia to represent her. Not only is she actively trying to get herself convicted in order to protect Ema from Gant, and has been actively pushing Ema away since SL-9 to where it's very doubtful she would trust her with a request like that, there's the obvious fact that Mia is fucking dead, and has been for several months. The reason Ema went to the office is because she didn't know that fact, or anything about Mia other than they (she didn't even know her gender) was a defense attorney who was Lana's underclassman, and whom her sister had respect for.
Ema going to get "Mia" of her own initiative in her given more foundation in the very next line.
"She always told me to go to Mia if I ever needed a defense attorney... And, well... I need one." " いつか、弁護士が必要になったらチヒロさんに‥‥って。ムカシ、よく言ってたから。だから、あし‥‥ " "Someday, if you need a defense attorney, see Chihiro-san. That's what she always told me. And that's why I..."
So, the line establishes pretty cleanly that Lana, at the very least, did carry a strong sense of respect towards Mia, to the point that she would often tell her sister to go to her should she end up in trouble. She clearly never said anything more though, otherwise Ema obviously would've known who Mia was, or that she was, again ,dead.
Lana's respect is conveyed also in the line before the "attraction" line:
It was in law school. I was in my third year, and she was auditing the class. She was different than the other students. ‥‥法科大学時代のことです。私が3回生、彼女は特別聴講生‥‥まわりの学生とは、アキラカにフンイキがちがいました。 It was in law school. I was a third year, she was a special auditor...it was clear the atmosphere around her differed from other students.
Note the use of "atmosphere". While Phoenix's inquiry, and Lana's follow-up in the line as read at the top, is just how she was "different", the Japanese specifies that Mia effectively radiated strength just by standing there, and Lana knew this. And that is implicitly why Mia became acquainted with Lana, because, as the top student at the university they attended, competing with Lana was her best way to get better. Remember, Mia wasn't a normal student, she was specifically an auditor, meaning she got no academic achievements from being there, and as Lana was two years ahead of her, she had to specifically seek her out, it's not like they would've actually met in the same class like the ENG suggests.
All in all, knowing Mia's personality in 3-1 and 3-4, this gives me less the impression of what shippers think, and more the glorious mental image of "Mia breaks into Lana's dorm room at 4:00 AM wielding a bamboo sword and demanding they have a legal debate". Something like that, anyway.
As for the rest...there's really nothing. Lana only mentions Mia a few times, and only in the context of that Mia told her a bunch of things about Phoenix, namely what she told Maya in 1-2; that he has the potential, he just needed the experience to grow. There's otherwise never once a single allusion to any kind of deeper relation than that, and while Lana displays overtly strong respect for her, that's quite evidently it (indeed, that she would describe their acquaintance in such a dry manner while talking highly of her in the same line doesn't say they were close at all). Sorry to the shippers, buuuuut it seems there's not terribly much basis here.
So yeah, Kaminogi-senpai wins.
Conclusion: Lana and Mia were at most casual friends, more likely were just working acquaintances who first met in law school.

Kagepro Analysis: Hibiya & Momo & Jin’s foreshadowing
some Kagepro ‘fan’: HIBIYA AND MOMO HAVE THE WORST RELATIONSHIP EVER UGH HE TREATS HER SO POORLY IN THE BEGINNING HE-------
ME, AN INTELLECTUAL:
(Momo’s POV) (bolding/italics highlighted for emphasis) “O-Oops............ By the way, it was all that kid’s fault. Kids these days are really presumptuous...............” After saying that, a sudden feeling of guilt attacked my heart and shut my mouth. That’s right, yesterday, Hibiya collapsed at the entrance of the hospital and Kido brought him back to the base. Hibiya’s anger at that time wasn’t something to be dismissed as “just a presumptuous kid”. For me who would never glare like that, the feelings that were piled inside the boy’s heart were completely unimaginable. "That boy, what had actually happened to him? [...]” (LATER ON, SAME CHAPTER, TOWARDS END): “Hibiya watched his friend die countless times, then eventually he was [spit] out of that world on his own.
By the way, to let me fully understand the story, he repeated it three times,
and from all that hard work I could see that he was actually a nice kid.”
“Even though I could hardly understand anything I’d been told, I still thought that the situation Hibiya was in was really cruel.” (...) Hibiya’s eyes were so young yet they steadily looked forward, [appearing] reliable.
Despite all that, the youth had a lot of weaknesses, too.
Hibiya, who was from the countryside, didn’t understand this place too well, and he didn’t have enough money.
More, he had a new born eye power that he still couldn’t use by his free will, so there was the terrible chance of a rampage occurring.
“............... Still, I’m going with you. I’m worried, okay?” (...)
(MOMO, bit later on, same scene):
“All~ right! Okay! If that’s the case, then how’s this: I help you, and if we find the girl, you’ll stop calling me ‘[aun]’ and also ‘cow’. And ..... f-fat .......... not even ‘fat’..........”
“Huh? What. That’s [Aun]’s ‘benefit’?”
I crossed my arms and confidently said: “Yes. If that happens, I’ll be veeryy happy! Ah, I can even be your partner if you want!”
Hibiya smiled for the first time.
“.......... Weird. Well then, what if [Aun] can’t find her? What will [Aun] do?”
I was considering what I would do, but actually all that wasn’t necessary. The answer was as simple as it could be.
“What would the Mekakushi Dan say?”
Because all I had to do was to simply tell Hibiya my answer, word by word.
Staring at Hibiya’s eyes, I told him clearly*:
“…………… Until we find her, I will always stand by your side”
Everyone in Mekakushi Dan clearly understands how hard it is to face a problem alone.
I was saved by them, therefore I can smile.
And now it’s my turn to stand by someone’s side.
As a Mekakushi Dan member, that must be my most important mission.
“[A-aun], why are you saying things like that?”
Hibiya blushed and turned away.
And then, to be honest, I also realized that I said something pretty embarrassing, so I too became hot in the face and lowered my head.
Why the heck am I being shy towards [a primary school student]…?
^ “The Children Reason”, Novel #3 [Novels Route]
Otsukimi Recital chapter [Novels Route version]
(MOMO’S POV):
While WISHING in front of the moon, I kept going toward the base one step at a time.
“This is embarrassing, oba—I mean, Momo.”
“It can’t be helped, right? Because Hibiya-kun fell so suddenly. You just made a mistake, yeah?”
“No, it’s hard to suddenly…!” (...)
(LATER ON, SAME CHAPTER):
(KIDO): “Now that Kisaragi has returned, from today on we will put the ‘Kagerou Daze Capture Strategy’ into effect! This way, we won’t be careless in our preparations!”
(MOMO): ”… Eh?”
(HIBIYA.....): “H-hey… Momo *** (NOTE: CLICK THIS LINK). I …?”
Despite only just beginning to understand everything, the ‘Kagerou Daze Capture Strategy’ would be the Mekakushi Dan’s last operation.
Rather, that that would be the last time I would spend with the members of the Mekakushi Dan, I at that time, of course, had no reason to know.
^ Kaien Panzermast chapter (final chapter of “The Children Reason”)
* - this line was bolded by the original translator for emphasis. *** CLICK THE LINK. Read it in full.
**** ALL OF THE ABOVE (+ EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE):
HAPPENS IN THE SPAN OF A DAY OR TWO. A DAY OR TWO. (not 3+ days, not a week, not weeks, not months,) due to Kagepro’s plot occuring between August 14th-15ths,
and the conclusion not happening until shortly after the “Kagerou Daze Capture Strategy”.
[ Reminders re: official Routes order ] Music (+Etc. Music) -> Manga -> Novels (officially) -> ??? (MCA???) -> ??? (unofficially) MCA: “the closest to the latter” - Jin, quoted 2nd Manga Route: officially included within original Manga Route’s description (NOT MUCH LATER ON.....):
She is so soft-hearted, stupid, reckless, unreliable… but more than anyone else, she’s such a kind person.
Since Momo’s like that, I was able to fight for myself like this too. The one who taught me about “friends” - it was (no other than*) her.”
- Summertime Reload (Novel 8 / Final Novel).
youtube
bonus earlier analysis: explaining Hibiya’s initial rudeness re: him being from the countryside + not understanding Japanese honorifics conventions / politeness.
bonus reference: Japanese school system calender + Kagepro. more bonus: this quote of Hibiya’s from the first novel re: his presumed “age”. even more: profiles and confirmations of ages in canon materials. bonus bonus: Manga Route 2′s foreshadowing “onee-chan” moment + its mistranslation of a very significant scene (!!!) in the official English translation
EVEN MORE BONUS:
(Momo’s autograph scene from From the Darkness [Novel 7]):
Hibiya asked Momo to sign for Hiyori after all these commotions ended. Momo had mixed feelings because she didn’t think Hiyori’d be satisfied with her [autograph] *since she’d not be able to return to being an idol then* and she felt a trickle of jealousy.
Not hearing Momo’s answer, Hibiya then said:
“So you…… We will definitely have to meet again ! Promise me ! ” with a face like he was about to cry.
(compare all of the above + Novel scenes to MCA #02, Kisaragi Attention scene, specific to its own Route):
youtube
(compare ALL OF THE ABOVE PAST THAT TOO to THIS WHICH LEAVES OUT ALMOST ALL OF THAT.)
“Otsukimi Recital” [MCA Version.]: a.k.a: why WAS VIRTUALL ALL THEIR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT LEFT OUT. [the obvious answer: because of time constraints, that’s why!] (*MCA: a 12-episode series. only 12 episodes. in 2014) [2nd obvious answer: because Jin hadn’t written the later novels yet.] [*all of the above: STILL CANON. TO THEIR OWN ROUTES.]

This is a long one
1. I have to clarify that the 2ch thread is set up and didn't happen in this timeframe but in a span of days. All the messages are real and existed but they're stringed together from different unrelated days. This is because there were multiple threads about this since they kept getting maxed, and the ones with "Neru's" messages weren't archived and have been lost in time (though you can still find remains in the archive i found). We only have a post quoting them from a previous thread so i had to mix them in with replies from the archived one. Yeah this was really difficult to pull off lol and my translations are probably not accurate.
BTW, it's not important if you're not able to read that particular page well, in fact i almost was going to leave it in Japanese. But i found the comments so amusing i decided to try to translate them. That's possibly the most unreadable page so i rrreeally beg you to open them in another tab to see them closely. I know it's a pain in the ass, sorry;; i didn't expect tumblr to make them so teeny.
2. DEN2: For those who didn't know, yes, "DEN---" is part of the name of a publicity agency, and i'm pretty sure the "2" comes from 2ch. That's what's imprinted on Neru's arm. I won't say which agency it is and i erased it from the thread even in Japanese because it's still unknown if this "conspiracy" was even real or not (google claimed it was a tech error and wikipedia said Miku's page was deleted due to copyright issues), but it's super easy to find the name of the company Neru supposedly worked for.
3. "But Akita Neru was born November 1st and in your comic she already existed".
In my... askblog... headcanon... world? Vocaloids (which are androids, not virtual beings) don't have birthdays on the day they're activated or something. Their birthday is celebrated on the day they were first released to the public, with exceptions. This explains why some Vocaloids may already exist design-wise or demo-wise (like currently Kizuna Akari, Mo Qingxian or Moke) but their birthday is celebrated on the day they’re finally released. In SeeU's odd case for example, the company decided to set her birthday the day she was "created" (design reveal), August 30, instead of the day she was released, October 21st.
For fanloids, their birthday to me would be celebrated the day they first introduced themselves into the other character's "life" or "world". The day they're noticed by the Vocaloid fandom, and content of them starts being made.
4. MOST IMPORTANTLY I know this will be insanely obvious to most people, but last time i uploaded a comic people started spreading it around the net without context and it created a fuss.
All of my comics are my personal headcanons, though some might have some elements of reality they are NOT trying to pass as the true stories for Neru or Haku (or anyone else). These comics are canonical for my askblog alone, so for the Neru and Haku in this askblog they are true, but they're not true for the real Akita Neru/Yowane Haku. It's up to their creators to decide their backstories, and you can look back to CAFFEIN and Smith Hioka's old comics and blog entries to know a bit more about them. The comics posted here are made for you to know the Neru/Haku of this blog and their world, because every single askblog has a little "world" and backstory set up.
Lastly, i found old comments about my comics like "this is bs, this character would never say this". None of these characters have a set personality. I got this complaint the most for portraying Miku being rude to Haku in the past, even though i already explained Miku was a confused character swayed by her producers until she learnt to harmonize all the contradicting thoughts that would rush to her from different humans. Just because someone has a bad day and you get only that one day of their life portrayed in a comic doesn't mean that's their set personality forever. This is why i didn't like when people removed context from my comics when reposting; i think if you read my blog you get a pretty good view of how i write these different characters but if you're only looking at the comics... yeah i can see why people thought i hate Miku (she's one of my favorite Vocaloids, by the way).
tl;dr don't judge my comics as if they're trying to be canon content, that is NEVER my intention. Comics are a very personal thing to me. I wish i didn't have to add my post but i had a pretty bad experience last time jkdfgh i found a fan animation of my comic on youtube and... vocaloid youtube comments says all.
(Fun fact: the title seems random but it was actually a reference to a song that accompanies a Miku/Neru PV, and i’m 1000% sure i mistranslated it and it makes no sense now because i’m hella tired. Not that this is a ship comic but i thought it was a cute reference)
