redraw of an old "comic" i had from two years ago

forgot to post this on here last night mb

[questiontocertaintyofreality]

One of the things that make The Promised Neverland precious is it captures the spirit of feeling the future full of dreams from the top of a tree. A generation that wants to change the world while dreaming of a cardboard car. Grace Field childirens clever, extremely clever and full of dreams but a flower crown enough for them. If Grace Field childs see each others as rival then escape arc never succed. Because they trust each other, humans able to trust each other. I can imagine Ray as ask a question to Yuugo : Peter Ratri, isn't a flower crown and camera enough for him.

Is being respected among demons and enough excuse for Peter Ratri to spend years raising children who will have to learn that they can never achieve reality and their dreams?

I know that emma and ray most likely don’t mean anything else by it, but the consensus here seems to be that being the “caretaker” of the group is somehow less (?) than being the ones going outside to gather information or search for food. At the very least, from my understanding don and Gilda feel this way. This is probably just me nitpicking and maybe I’m even reading this all wrong, but I just really wanted to point out that, while it is obviously more dangerous to go outside, the role of caretaker is by no means any less important. Gilda and don are not “reliable” ONLY because of the prison break. They are reliable because they always try to do their best. They are not “just” caretakers. They took on the role of caretakers, period. And they are not going to “stand alongside” Emma and ray ONLY from this point on by going outside. They have always stood alongside them by taking care of everyone else, among other things. For example:

And as we’ve seen from the previous chapter, they also have human enemies who have been trying to find their hideout:

Had their enemies, no matter human or demon, discovered the shelter while Emma and ray were out, it would have been up to don and Gilda to protect the rest of the kids as well. This is also why they ultimately decided on having Yuugo stay instead, now that he’s on the same side:

It’s probably not that deep and again, I’m probably just nitpicking. But language matters, and I just don’t like it when Gilda and don kind of look down on themselves or on what they’ve done for their family, even if they do this subconsciously. They’ve always given every task their all, and that is admirable.

Norember 2023 - Emma Ratri & Lambda Norman

"Just so you know - one word about this to anyone, and you will earn yourself an invitation to the Queen's next dinnerparty."

~ Taking advance of a cattle human surely isn't a Ratri's style, but who's Emma Ratri to not dare it nevertheless? ~

[naehja]

And it's my second The Promised Neverland Fanfic

It's in french, because i'm more comfortable to write fanfic in my native tongue. ^^"

Summary: January 2046. Peter Ratri has a diabolical idea to punish Isabella after the evasion of the children. Not only will she be named Grandmother and will be forced to continue to perpetuate the system, but she will have to have two children. A son to replace Ray, a daughter to take over in the future.

Thank to @officersnickers to have helped me to put all my ideas in orders =)

[emmaspolaroid]

this is a Norman Ratri household

[fullscoreshenanigans]

My recs for fics about Ray having Isabella's eyes.

Ray angst fic recs.

Not really a full rec post like those but I'm always citing snippets of evanescent's always a riddle inside my head (aesop's kin)

I have others but I'm very predictable and I tend to focus on endgame romo REN fics lol and I think you're looking for gen/platonic Ray ones?

If so, banana_slug_army's The Wanting Game is similar to Facsimile in that they aren't too heavy on romantic RE given they're set during the canon storyline and are super young, and both heavily feature Ray angst.

Tumblr is my savior because it's really the only place the Promised Neverland fandom is active besides Ao3 but I need good fics

Anyways have some sillly Santa hats

[fullscoreshenanigans]

have a emma ratri au in the brain rn so how do you think the escape would go without emma in it? im guessing norman would cut a lot more losses without emma there to encourage him (maybe even escape with only the older kids that can make it) and I really liked your post on how norman was originally planning to leave ray behind!

im thinking norman feels guilty and goes back at the last second to see ray with the lighter fluid but ray sets the fire anyway to make norman go without him. But norman isn't as physically able as emma so he doesn't catch the match and Isabella pulls them both out

then as norman and ray are healing from their injuries in lamba they meet emma ratri (who would do anything for her clan/family in this version) who tries to encourage them to coperate/make them test better for the tifari by making them happy?

don and gilda would meet up with sonju and muijika and be a lot more friendly to demons/knowledgeable about their society (maybe even meet up with ashye!)

thoughts?

[Mentioned post]

Without Emma there as a moral compass, Norman and Ray might convince Don and Gilda that only the four of them should escape and come back for the rest of the kids after they better assess the outside world, with Ray banking on Norman discreetly seething the whole time so he'll ditch him at the last minute, but it's also possible Don and Gilda might rub off on Norman in Emma's place that contribute to him going back to bring Ray along.

Both of the boys ending up at Lambda is very interesting because while there is the poignancy for Isabella in Ray being the only one of the trio supposedly destined to be shipped and gupna'd as normal, I think there's enough breadth to argue that if Legravalima ate her father to become queen and hid Norman away in Lambda from the demon god, she might have tried to push her luck with the promise and steal Emma and Ray away too with how prestigious the trio's reputations were among demon society.

It's also interesting to see an Emma who might feign a similar demeanor to her canon one but drops it when things aren't going her way, either impetuously out of petty anger or as part of a longer con after she discovers someone's tried to cross her, in a similar tone to this exchange:

(Chapter 87)

She likes to think she's benevolent and reasonable, but being raised as a future head of the clan, she's cunning and ruthless, and she doesn't make idle threats.

There's also the dynamics to consider of how the boys would play off her together versus how they'd do apart if they were kept isolated from each other, if they even know the other one is alive, if Emma holds that knowledge as leverage, etc.

(Chapter 172, tweaked)

And then her conflicting loyalties if she starts to grow attached to them.

don and gilda would meet up with sonju and muijika and be a lot more friendly to demons/knowledgeable about their society (maybe even meet up with ashye!)

Assuming it's just Don and Gilda that escaped and not the rest of the canon escapees, there's a variety of potential there too. Like you said, them having more time with their nomadic demon parents, maybe opting to stay with them rather than going to the bunker due to safety in numbers, making them the biggest advocates for demons to humans that puts them into conflict with the older brothers they looked up to when they eventually cross paths again.

There's also meeting an Ayshe who hasn't been dealt the tragic blow of losing her father, and while I still imagine her to be reserved, there is a bit of a lighter air about her now that her first meeting with other humans is much kinder. Her dad could also provide insight into the demon world that Mujika and Sonju couldn't, like the inner workings of farms as a substitute for the bunker's knowledge.

TPN Brainrots part 1:

Another TPN manga panel redraw, but this time everyone goes down with me (because it's sad).

Also part one of my 'wonderful' tpn theories and head canons. It'll be long😅. There will be manga spoilers so please, read at your own risk😊.

First character I go through is... Ray.

He is one of the most complicated characters I ever saw (all tpn characters are, tbh). I always thought that people who have photographic memory are so lucky. Ray showed me that it's both a blessing and the curse.

Like in the picture above. You can clearly see that the first 2 kid waving at his direction. It's strange to know that there was a time when the Trio were one of the young kids and not the older ones. My first head canon is that Ray tried to save more kids, not just Emma and Norman when he was younger. When the blond haired boy leaves (first panel) he looks like he is about to cry (also the Trio is around 4 or 6) but when the other kids get 'adopted' Ray keeps his head low most of the frames (I'm convinced that when the second kid left he was already working as Isabella's spy.)

Ray coloration explained:

Purple eyes are self explanatory to me. I started draw him with purple eyes as soon as I found out he is Isabella's son. Purple in the hair and freckles? Well... I'm still very, very convinced that Leslie didn't die (at least not when he left the House). I always think about his situation, like what Norman got into with Lambda. The Ratri-clan is big but they need outsiders, to be soldiers, scientists, etc. And since girls from the Houses can only become Sisters and Moms... maybe some boys can become scientists and soldiers. (I can't believe I'm writing this but think about Andrew🤢... he was 100% not Ratri yet he could become an adult). So by this logic I believe Leslie could grow up too and (because I'm a sucker for happiness) he met Isabella again at some point.

Ray turning away:

On the second frame he is not looking at the girl who is leaving, but to the opposite direction. Why? Notice something else? Yes, Norman is missing too. Gilda has her winter jumper on so I figure Norman got sick again. Ray priorities his friends safety over everything else.

Also notice how Emma and Norman slowly get into the middle of the frame while Mom/Isabella get out of it? Pretty strong metaphor. It's the perfect example of 'Blood related family ≠ real family'. And while I'm a RayEmma shipper (obviously aged up version) I would never forget about Norman. He is as important to Ray as Emma. This Trio sticks together no matter what.

(older manga colouring ⬇️)

Now onto the hearth breaking stuff:

Ray's relationship with Isabella:

This deleted scene with Ray and Ayshe lives rent free in my head. Like there are two people with similar family situations and the one who lived int the middle of nowhere with a demon parent thinks positively about their parent, while the other, who grew up in a comfortable home like space with a human parent, thinks the opposite.

"But to me, she was always a monster"– Ray.

Like ufff... This sentence hits real hard. And it's low-key true from Ray perspective. He studied and read all the books in the House, not because he was interested, but because he had to. Norman is a genius, Emma learns real fast, Ray does everything he can to always get max points on his tests. But he also secretly planning his friends excape. Collects scraps of technology to build the device which makes them able to excape, plans his own 💀 carefully, so no one else will get hurt and on a top of that he is 'spying' for Isabella. Sacrifices people he wanted to protect. I can't imagine that inside panic when he didn't get max scores to that one test. I'm sure he was happy because Norman and Emma got their regular scores, but deep down he felt like he failed.

My head canon here is that Ray always gets nightmares if he is alone or in an unsafe place. And 'thanks' to his perfect memory his nightmares build up from actual memories (like we see that in the Seven Wall Arc). Also he doesn't get sick often but when he does... it's like a memory fuelled fever dream, with hallucinations and etc.

Ray's healing journey starts after the Jailbreak Arc. As soon as Mom is not around anymore, he ever so slowly starts to let down his guard and starts to show more and more emotions. His relationship with Yuugo/Mister is like a greatest archivment in his case. The playful, sarcastic 'arguments' and the way he openly said his opinion on things in front of Yuugo and Lucas. Shows how much he changed and opened up.

Isabella on the other hand... her change of heart and feelings were a mistery almost to the very end. To be honest I hated her most of the time, until the Back to Grace Field Arc. (Older manga colouring again⬇️😅)

Two things in this page which are very important.

1: Ray's guard is up again in no time, when he sees Isabella, while her emotionless mask is cracking. This is the first time we get a little inside of how she really feels about Ray.

2: Flashback of the two most important things that connects them. The song and the way they were forced to sacrifice others to stay alive.

The lullaby is very important, because it's calming and feels very intimate (like a normal parent-child relationship should be).

You also can't convince me otherwise that Ray didn't hummed this lullaby at least once in the B06-32 shelter to help the youngest kids fall asleep.

And now... onto the last picture. Their goodbye.

Saddest part ever! Never forgiving for this decision.

Ray and Isabella were never allowed to talk even two short sentences with each other without any consequences. In the House they had to play their assigned roles. Then they didn't see each other for almost 2 years. Finally they had to save half of the team from getting unalived... And they moment they would have time the last twist happens... leaving us with a sad ending.

Epilogue and Human World Arc...does little to compensate. Although I can't get over the fact that Yuugo's, Conny's and Isabella's 'ghosts' helped Ray found Emma in the Human World.

Speaking of finding Emma. My last head canon for Ray is the following;

When they found out that Emma lost all of her memories from the Demon World. Ray couldn't help himself but whisper a "I wish this happened to me". And everyone looks at him with an understanding smile thinking he blames himself for this... But in reality he really just selfishly thought (only for seconds) that he could forget everything happened on the other side.

Okay. That's all. Sorry for the supper long post and I'm forever thankful if you read through my brainrots 🥰😘. Also let me know if I should cover more characters like this. I'll obviously do Emma and Norman but if there any other characters you want to see please let me know🥰🤩💖.

something I’m exploring in my fic actually

Re-reading how spiteful Lucas got over the years of living in the hunting ground.

As far as we know only Gracefield is the only farm that doesn’t have some kind of town worked into the coverup/backstory. Lucas and Yuugo might have recognized goldy pond’s architecture as similar to glory bell since they were both built by the ratri clan and in the end they both became farms. Analyzing Minerva’s actions you can see how he was influenced by his upbringing as a Ratri.

he gives the lab rats the tools to break out, but doesn’t actually help them do so. It’s almost like changing factors in an experiment but not doing anything more. Exactly the kind of experiments that the Ratri has been putting children through in Lamba.

(From the perspective of the readers we know that Minerva died for supplying them with information, guns, shelters and a way out under the farms, but from the perspectives of kids who didn’t know that? Kids who had the whole world against them? Obviously they would be suspicious)

like lucas mentions here, he originally thought it was a lie/trap all along. From the trio’s perspective we see how they rule out Minerva being an enemy but we never see how Yuugo’s group escaped. Maybe they were less dependent on Minerva’s help? Was the pen the reason they escaped? Did they use the book and THEN start to trust Minerva? Was their trust of Minerva’s plans for them equal to the trios? Were they more distrusting since they didn’t have a sonju/mujika to help them?

(if bunker dads hadn’t died at the beginning of the search for cultivida arc their differences in perspective/opinion of Minerva would have been great for emma considering if the seven walls was the best option. While norman does represent the other half of this conflict we could have gotten some more gray areas to explore with the bunker dads as an alternative! Seeing Lucas and Norman bond would have been sooooo interesting!!!)

It would be so cool to explore how yuugo took the events of the hunting ground and blamed himself while Lucas blamed Minerva.

it actually kinda parallels the main trio. Emma blames herself for not doing enough to get everyone out alive while Norman blames outside factors (more specifically demons rather than Minerva but it would be cool to see what Norman thinks of Minerva actually. Yeah he uses his name and resources to get what he wants, but does he blame Minerva for not doing enough? For only giving them a choice rather than bringing down the system? Does Norman hate giving up his identity to be this god like figure? Does he hate the role he has to fill? The shoes he has to grow into??? Sorry rambling love exploring characterization—)

but yeah it would be cool to see how lucas, yuugo and dina parallel the OG trio as the group that lost their emma.

lucas (like norman) rallies other people to the cause, makes a rebellion and helps in every way he can (side note when emma looses her memories norman is happy that she can still live a good life regardless which parallels lucas being happy that yuugo is alive even if he didn’t go back to help them)

yuugo (like ray) shuts down when his plan is ruined and there is no other alternative solution

we don’t get that much characterization for dina so sadly I can’t parallel her to emma much

but we do see in her final moments she was encouraging her family to do the best they could even while holding her dying family members in her arms while staring down certain death. That fits Emma pretty well!

anyway thats it, thanks for reading! I just needed to get this down before I forgot lol

i would love your thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

182 Days of TPN - Day 173

Chapter 173: "Prisoners"

My immense dislike towards Peter often leads me to making fun of him, but he ain't a cute kid. I dunno any child his age (however old he is here) to look that happy with wearing a full suit. Normal children would complain.

I know Norman isn't related to the James at all, but I still enjoy how so many people joke or theorize about it solely based on how he took on the WM persona and how similar they look at a first glance. Not just by the hair and outfit either, but even their actions, like you can't look at this panel and not be reminded of that one panel of Norman from ch126. It's so memorable that I don't even have to place it here to compare the two because of how identical it is to James here.

Imagine if James never found that old document. The world would continue on suffering under the farm system rules forever and we wouldn't even have our story. Maybe. Ray would probably still question his existence and the world whether or not James hides clues in the books in the GF library. It would certainly be more difficult for the kids to survive outside the farm though without using the pen for guidance, if they could manage the escape in the first place.

Peter, for once in your life, can you please just act like a normal child? Who hears of someone sacrificing others for their own gain and thinks, "oh, they're brilliant! I wanna be just like them!" I really hate how Julius pushing aside his personal feelings in order to change the world and stop the fighting sounds so similar to what Emma did with making the new promise, but our girl would certainly never betray her family and friends to achieve that better world!

This poor man. It's as if his entire purpose in life is crashing down around him.

As heartbreaking as this scene of James' death is, I can't feel sorry for Peter in this moment. The dude labeled James as a traitor and gave the order to the other Ratri men to go kill him, so I can't imagine why the boy is wailing so hard for something he caused to happen. He could've at least tried to talk to James about the situation, maybe find some common ground that the two of them could agree upon that would apply to both their ideals on how to run the clan and farm systems, but nope. Death be upon ye. The fact that Peter gets up and walks away shortly after rubs me the wrong way too. If he was truly upset about his brother's death, surely he would've taken his body somewhere else to do a proper burial instead of just leave him there. Peter mentions at the start of this chapter that he respected James more than anyone, but this sure as hell ain't the proper way to show it.

Local fool having an existential crisis. Sure the Ratri clan was bound to play the part as the mediators between both worlds, but one couldn't honestly believe that was the correct way to do things. It's surprising the promise lasted a thousand years before someone had the nerve to stand up and say, ya know, living this way just ain't right.

Peter isn't wrong, unfortunately. Humans can really be so terrible. The world we're personally living in is far from perfect.

One of the rare deaths when the corners of my mouth are tugged upwards. It's fine. No one really wanted Peter to join the kids in the human world anyway.

Favorite panel/moment:

James' smile. That's all.

[lylaseb]

No idea why it’s written as chapter 103 in the first one whereas the second source has it correct as 102 but has none of the rankings. Anyway

Emma and ray I fully expected to be in the top 3, and so far I have absolutely nothing against Norman and I do like him, I just didn’t expect him to be number 2, because I’m currently in the same chapter 102 and he’s been gone for a while. From when he’d been “dispatched”, we’ve seen little of him. I thought he would be number 3 at this point or maybe even a bit lower, like 4 or 5. Still, I’m not going to argue with it. And Phil at number 4 is very much well deserved. He’s so precious and kind and should be protected at all times. I don’t necessarily have major problems with numbers 5-10 either. I more or less get their importance/appeal. Lucas at 11 though? Where I’m at right now in the story, I don’t dislike him I just feel he’s a bit suspicious, but number 11??? Higher than Minerva, gilda, and don??? Also, why the heck is little Bernie also placed higher than gilda and don 😭 I get that it’s super cute but it’s literally a stuffed rabbit 😩 come on bro
