#Amon rambles

[blade-that-weeps]

As much as I’m enjoying catching up after such a long absence, the downfall of working your way through older content like the Shadowbringers MSQ is that it’s old news and you have nobody to excitedly gabble about it with. I’m sitting over here having my tiny little mind blown by the revelations everyone learned years ago lmao. Great stuff though, powerful writing in this expansion

16 Favourite Moments from the Anniversary Chats

In alphabetical order. Long post.

Amon

Amon's yearning for Beel and now MC is on full display here. It's sweet, if sad.

Amy

It's cute that Amy is so overstimulated by the thought of being able to go on a date with us that he has take a moment to calm his beating heart lest Sitri hears it and ruins it for him.

Bael

A demon genuinely acknowledging our human lifespan is uncommon. And Bael does it beautifully here.

Barbatos

Barbatos is full of charming compliments. Keep laying them on me, sun boy.

Beleth

A tiny bit of backstory. Sincere honesty from Beleth about how he wants us. Compliments us. And ends with some spice as a cherry on top. I think this chat has everything you could want.

Bimet

He was nice in a very Bimet-like way. Compliments us while taking full advantage of the situation.

Foras

Foras got the cake recipe from notoriously bad cook Bael and I just want to see the funny aftermath.

Gamigin

Cutie-pie, family-man Gamigin. Love him.

Glasyalabolas

Glasy up to his usual antics. Levi deserves to be teased about MC and Glasy does a good job of it.

Marbas

Some intense emotions from Marbas are shown here that were a pleasant surprise. I've always been a sucker for the trope of loving someone so much that they are your only weakness. Also, I wasn't expecting him to explicitly put us above Solomon, but I love it. Sitri take notes.

Naberius

Naberius stating he could only be happy if we settle down in Hell and trying to convince us to stay is very sweet.

Paimon

I really want to see his outfit. I like that he wants to match with us.

Phenix

I'm fascinated by eating food off of a person's body. I think Phenix would be a very good plate.

Ppyong

I just like that we got a chat from Ppyong for the first time. I love that little guy. Also, the mention of Minhyeok was a good touch.

Sitri

I don’t care for him still referring to us as Solomon. I just like him informing us about Satan putting having a National Holiday for our arrival in Hell to a vote and the other Kings agreeing immediately.

Stolas

It is very cute that he was so excited about celebrating our arrival anniversary that he couldn’t sleep for two weeks leading up to it.

As a bonus: Here’s the Full King Anniversary Chat

Okay so

It's weird to me that

In all of the cybrid games we have no character design for the side characters like cyril, carl, Kyubei, Kojuro

And not to mention all the villains and stuff

But then we have these Assholes.

Like- WHY do these two get a character design????? When the others don't? Is there some Lord behind it? Does anyone know why? Any theories? Please share them in the comments in curious

[wyllaztopia]

do u like cj does va :o !! i was watching an old vod and heard himm call out your user

i drew his killer png and church amon png but no i hate him

[jettreno]

there obv IS a prevalent and aggravating trend of stories having an antagonist who correctly identifies a flaw in society and aims to fix it but also commits atrocities along the way that the narrative claims to undermine the entire goal and then when the hero defeats them it is in the name of the status quo - but people sometimes point to legend of korra as an example of this which is so annoying bc like man how can you not understand a show written for children. every single season ends with korra defeating the villains and then saying "they had some points tho!" and then changing the status quo to address the flaw the villain identified

[designernishiki]

if you beat amon in dead souls kiryu gets an orbital death laser. just so you know

[jazeswhbvault]

i would love a dating sim route for the whb demons especially the nobles (though i love the kings too ofc) even if it was just like how they did loveunholyc where its mostly just chat messages

(spoiler for amons new chat) ive already been going insane today over amons new chat where he wants to go on a date with mc i am not hard to please 😔 pb pleaseee

AMON OMG THE BABES????? I love that he wants to go on a date ;w;

the more we get on the chats the better I feel we get to know the nobles way more.

i also wouldn't mind more of slice of life events with them or personal chats where we can go back and forth, choose options and end up with a good or neutral ending (or bad).

If they did it where it was just mostly chats for the routes I honestly wouldn't mind. I'd probably play through them all to see what it's like dating each devil plus the kings.

Day 4: Human

Had to skip yesterday cause I was too busy ;-; Anyway I really like Amon :D

[crowsnhoes]

One of my fav things about TG is when Akira makes advances on Amon he straight up refuses her. Even after all that happened in his past, his catholic values/habits still show through, like when he does a shit ton of push ups to get Akira off his mind.

Amon when he stops Akira from kissing him

[trans-mephisto]

Oh yeah

Shout out to Kazue Kato for being one of the concerningly few manga artists who actually make characters of color look like normal people 💪💪💪

[amoneki-ramblings]

Also, your 'Amon stays in the CCG and works with Haise' AU is fantastic and should have been canon. Poor Amon misses Eyepatch terribly (he still has QUESTIONS damnit!) but doesn't want to get Haise (or Akira) in trouble, so he can't really say much, but he and Haise get suspicious of the CCG being corrupted. They investigate together, but they have to be discreet and they HATE IT, the CCG is supposed to represent justice! Inner!Kaneki drops hints and nags Haise in the background constantly.

YESSSSS GOD AMON AND HAISE NOT INTERACTING IN :RE WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO ME I WAS SO GENUINELY SURPRISED WHEN THEY NEVER DID

In the context of my AU I think Amon would feel so let down by the emergence of the Quinx project. He's spent all this time investigating the CCG's suspicious sides and almost uncovered what they were really aiming to do and then it just gets. Announced, just like that. That they're putting ghoul organs in people to use as weapons. It feels wrong. Everything clicks terribly into place. But he can't say anything. And Eyepatch is gone already (or so he Thinks) It all feels anti-climatic, somehow.

Then he meets this new investigator, who shakes his hand and greets him cheerily. He's being mentored by Akira. They are to treat him as a human unless he loses control, to which they'll treat him as a ghoul. It's Eyepatch. It's Haise Sasaki. Amon has to stomach the thought of both working with him and potentially having to "erase" him if he remembers who he is. He likes Haise, even if he's different from Eyepatch, but Haise might not be around forever, for one reason or another. He's never had to kill a co-worker or friend before. (I think, similar to Akira in canon :re Amon would be assigned a big role in leading squads when the CCG has to keep Haise under control. It only makes sense, he's done significant damage to him before, in half-kakuja form no less, and managed to escape this guy even without a weapon. And he's also like, one of the Only Guys who has ever killed a ghoul with his bare hands before.) Still though, the thought of killing Haise, whether it be with a quinque through the heart or the snap of a neck, is nauseating.

The CCG higher-ups are suspicious, obviously, because Amon is the only one who truly knows Everything about Eyepatch, and he might screw with Haise's memories. They're keeping an eye on him and make sure they don't get too close, unless Amon needs to confront Haise, since Haise, even when losing control, just can't seem to hurt him. Not really at least (if it ever does happen he feels So Guilty) ((Also sidenote but Haise probably visibly winces when he first meets Amon. His head hurts and he's not sure why. He feels melancholic and he doesn't know why. He feels a flood of relief. But he doesn't know why. He likes Amon a lot and wants to get to know him. The white-haired ghoul in his head seems particularly fixated on him, won't stop looking at him. Haise somehow knew Amon's name before he was even told what it was. He surmises that it's just because Amon is so well-known in general. (He knows, deep down, that it might be more than just that)))

Haise has small recollections of memories, but he can't tell anyone, obviously. Sometimes he has nightmares of flower fields and battles under the rain. When he and Amon get closer he tells him a little about them. "It's probably nothing" he laughs, unsure, but Amon knows what they really mean. He sees Eyepatch in Haise and it hurts terribly. He fears the chance that he'll never get to ask the questions he had, almost as much as he fears the chance that one day he suddenly will. The answers he's wanted for so long are so close that they are literally standing right next to him, yet they're so far.

As things move forward they definitely try to investigate and figure out the CCG's corrupt system together. But they have to be careful, on the outside co-workers (including Akira) make comments about how close they are and what a good team they make but within the inner-workings of the CCG they have their careful eyes on them. Maybe Akira's a little weary about it, tells Amon as such sometime and Amon says he knows (but there are things he can't tell even her.) Maybe one time Haise and Amon talk briefly, maybe after or during Haise losing control of himself and he says something and it sounds hauntingly like Eyepatch. Haise had looked at him differently during that moment. His voice sounded different. It was pained, but not in the physical sense. Maybe it wasn't Haise at all, actually.

Haise has a dream once about a man shouting asking him if he really is just a ghoul. Somehow he doesn't feel like it's for him. (But surely it means something to Kaneki Ken). Maybe, like in that comic I drew, Kaneki is incredibly relieved that Amon is alive, but also terribly jealous that all he can do is watch from the shadows LOL

Ough sorry I got SO carried away I've just been meaning to list out some of the details of my AU thoughts for AGES this has been living rent free in my mind for MONTHS it's one of my favorite thoughts Ever

It's insane, how many parallels are setup between Kaneki/Haise and Amon, yet Haise and Amon never meet once, even though Amon is foreshadowed constantly during :re. To be fair there is so much going on in :re already but still, man. Man,

[blade-that-weeps]

I woke up to 87 notes and my first instinct is oh god what did I do? Then I saw it’s the mount question and I am so, so delighted! I can’t wait to read everyone’s answers :D Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply, this is wonderful. Seeing people chatter about their beloved characters is one of my absolute favourite things, so this is a great way to start my day!

[wihellib]

Amon, I love you, but your fingers are almost at salad fingers levels.

[transmasc-rose]

RULES: make a poll with 5 of your all-time favorite characters and then tag 5 people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favorite! (tagged by @seaweedstarshine)

[ebbyhell]

Today i offer you guys Amon second chats with what i choose to say, we see does not like the rainy days (i know an devil he whould not get along with), haved his hair used to make clothes that Stoles used once (wonder how they looked like?) And that Beelzebub tasted his hair aaaaand he is naturally this color (.....all over gonna be for real and wonder how it is down there)

[ragyragd0ll]

Let me be completely honest, I thought Amon was short for the longest time until he was described as "tall and slender" in one route.

I also couldn't decide how to pronounce his name and just stuck with the thing that sounded closest to "almond"
