#FULL of all kinds of animals

[rosemaryreality]

Post-canon itafushi were Yuuji keeps gifting Megumi pets because as much as Megumi tells him he doesn't have to, Yuuji just can't resist because he loves the way Megumi is with them: The careful, yet confident way he first approaches a new pet, his smile when the animal lets Megumi pet them for thefirst time, and just the way that, even as Megumi tells him he is going overboard with the pets and how their house isn't a zoo, he still never suggests giving them away, how he can tell Megumi instantly falls in love with every one of them.

Or maybe he doesn't just "get" him pets, maybe it starts as he finds a hurt puppy that sort of reminds him of Megumi's divine dogs, maybe he takes it home and maybe helping the puppy heal actually helps them cope with everything that has happened to them.

Maybe after that they start keeping an eye out when going out, maybe they start taking in more and more animals, in particular the "difficult" ones, the ones with missing limbs or grave conditions, with bad attitudes, the "damaged" ones. And maybe through them they learn that healing isn't trying to be the same kids they used to be, but learning to live with who they are now, to accept what they been through while also understanding that they're more that their trauma, more than the things done to them.

That there's still hope for them to be happy.

i think it’d be fun if wammy’s house had like abunch of watari’s inventions in it. or like some totally not ego-petting mini-mueseum of the inventions with a focus on the prototypes-to-final-product-pipeline and how greatness can be achieved with hardwork ( back-breaking labor ).

less kind of bitter idea, it’d be even more fun if wammy’s house had some like communal pets or something. like a dog that just lounges around or a cat. maybe multiple since the place is so huge

kouji finds that his new brother is really supportive of his art.....maybe he doesn't have to keep his hobby a secret.....

I literally will think of the stupidest shit and if it makes me giggle, it's "canon" now. It just is. Idk why I keep doing this.

[shorthaltsjester]

as always with adaptation stuff i would truly love to get like . play by play on what was chosen to keep and what was chosen to change and the reasons why just because i’m curious and i have some thoughts both loving and critical (ba dum tiss) about the contents of the first three eps but i think i’ll prob hold off on my personal I Didn’t Like This Choice until there’s a full season to contextualize it just because a bunch of stuff that i’m feeling more :/ about . the back of brain is like generating innumerable situations where said choice is forgivable/less frustrating to me so i will simply wait and hope to be given reasons to forgive

An argument over whether or not Dan Heng is Dan Feng seems to have begun getting sparked again in certain parts of the Fandom and it does nothing but hurt my head to no end

Both sides cherrypicking or treating it like a strange situation, making false equivalents. "Yknow governments don't consider people who've lost their memories to be separate people" that's a flawed argument to use in favorite of DH = DF because it's not just he lost his memories. He literally grew up, experienced his own childhood, had a whole identity cultivated based on those experiences and that life and continues to live his own life. To treat the situation like it's just him getting a bit of amnesia is wild to me

But also I hate when people continue to insist he's running from Dan Feng and his past and how he's miserable and shouldn't ever confront the past and deal with it as if his and Blade's whole stories aren't centered around rebirth and karma, paying for your past life's karma. He needed to confront the past to ensure a freer future! He literally has!! And he will continue to do so because he realizes this, DH isn't dumb and he's grown since we first saw him. He understands

But yeah uh I'm so tired

This whole thing feels very Ship of Theseus. What makes the ship what it is, the physical aspects of its planks, its sailing history, or both?

For him, the question is what makes someone who they are? Is it the body that makes them up and any inherent genetic factors (like traits)? Is it their experiences, how they've grown up, and the identity they've developed in that time? Or is it both factors mixed together?

Personally in the case of Dan Heng, I think it's both! Yeah he has a lot of traits from Dan Feng. There's a lot inherently there. But we can't disregard his own experiences and the identity that has formed based on his history and what he's seen.

Again I can't stress this enough... It is a false equivalent to compare him to people who lose their memories or get amnesia, he didn't just lose those memories. He started life from the beginning, a whole different kind of life. And even then, the amnesia topic comes with its own debates. Isn't there a whole other thought experiment regarding someone put to trial who ends up with amnesia and what their verdict should be?

I guess in the end, it's all up to people's own philosophical beliefs after what constitutes a person. My personal belief that DH and DF will always be connect but the separation between them is also meaningful is something based on my own ideas of what consisitutes a person and their individual identity, similar situation with how I see Rukkhadevata and Nahida as connected but still not the same person exactly. At the end of the day again, it's personal beliefs

But what I can't stand and can't stand by, is someone acting all high and mighty like they're perfectly right and everyone else is wrong, especially when they're cherrypicking or not holding all their evidence to the same standard. According to some ppl, apparently it's better in the CN fandom where instead of treating it like "I'm right you're wrong" people have divided themselves into "DF and DH one person" and "DF and DH two people" groups and most importantly of all, they treat both like theories and just keep to their space and tag which they believe when it's relevant. Why can't we just do that? Why can't we follow in their footsteps instead of bringing up this argument every so often with the same tired flaws from both sides?

Characters baring a mouth full of sharp fangs as show of aggression is top tier but can we talk about how sinister a flash of smooth square omnivore teeth can be. The implications therein? The difference between facing a carnivore vs a member of the terrifyingly, aptly named 'opportunistic eaters'? The fear of being on one's menu, the knowledge that you are on the other's - no matter what you are. The inherent danger of a threat display where there are set rules to avoiding harm turning into a hunt on a dime.

Anyway, thinking about Nikodemus and how beautifully all of this translates into his supernatural setting...
