The true grand chess master of the series; Norman who

[paranasloc]

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

Would Leuvis (the promised neverland) become an avatar of the Hunt?

Les Mis TPN AU thoughts, because my brain is just being like that right now:

Yugo as Valjean

Leuvis as Javert

Dina and/or Lucas as Fantine

Emma as Cosette

Ray as Marius

Either Norman or Oliver as Enjolras

The other GF/GP kids as the rest of Les Amis De l'ABC

Mujika as Eponine?

Sonju as the Bishop

The other demon nobles as the Thernardiers

[kakusu-shipping]

Vulkin and Leuvius moodboards? (I cannot spell your promised neverland guy to save my life shshssh)

Aaaugh I wanted to do both but I ended up spending literally All Day getting Leuvis' board just right. I'll make a Vulkin one eventually!!!

Highly recommend checking out @puff-poff's posts on demon culture for anyone who hasn't read them already for the most comprehensive analysis on subjects in this vein.

(Chapter 90 Bonus Sketch)

Luce having the most ostentatious mask of the poachers as a reflection of him being part of the garish nouveau riche compared to the quiet luxury of Nous, Nouma, Bayon, and Leuvis is a familiar and fitting dynamic given the commentary on class division Shirai leans into.

Regarding being able to reveal their faces, I disagree.

(Chapter 102)

While the two demon brothers have never seen meat from any of the four top class farms—with their bodies completely intact upon serving—we do see a collection of mass production heads in a jar available for sale among the lower classes, probably the most expensive jar in the shop with the value the human brain has among demonkind. (One could argue they meant they never saw it because it was in the very back of the shop in that particular panel, but I'd say it's pedantic for ignoring the intention of this speech to be another nod to the class divide and strife among the demon populace.)

There's also the issue of the horizontal placement of human eyes compared to the vertical placement of demons'.

(Chapter 147 | Chapter 149 | Chapter 150)

Older, classical masks like those of the elder Bayons (compared to those of Bayon II's wife and children), Yverk, and Geelan's clan incorporate a pair of symmetrical, horizontal, and frequently vacant eye holes among their designs. In the chapter 90 bonus sketch, this is mentioned as respecting tradition, which I interpret as a holdover from the days of demons hunting humans, and the intention of that incorporation was to play on pareidolia-enhanced fear among humans who, out of habit, would look toward the horizontal pair of eye holes first when gazing upon demons in combat and would frequently be treated to an unflinching, menacing abyss. It's a good subtle tactic to unnerve them before they take in the rest of the mask.

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 7 Q&A)

This is also why I have mixed feelings about the kids' demon masks. On the one hand, I do understand why they wouldn't want to draw attention to themselves and risk having their human eyes being seen through more conspicuous holes.

(Chapter 102)

But I really wish they would have spent a panel acknowledging Gillian, Nigel, and Sonya incorporating nearly imperceptible eye slits or something to clarify exactly how they see while wearing them.

But unrelated to the mask conundrum, there's also the issue of humans having five digits on their hands compared to six that demons have (though I know there's a joke about Sonju having varying amounts of toes throughout the story).

I don’t think it’s been confirmed how well they can smell humans since they had to wear perfume

I'd say them having to wear perfume at all is a good indicator the demons' sense of smell vastly outclasses that of humans.

(Chapter 83 | Chapter 1)

The only reasons the two lackey demons don’t come after Emma and Norman right away in chapter 1 is that they’re caught up in conversation and probably a bit intoxicated off the idea of being able to eat even "just a fingertip" of meat from a top class farm, which is not something for the likes of lowly farm workers to enjoy, though Shirai notes they and even those working at mass production farms do have more prestige than demons of the same class working in other jobs.

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 7 Q&A)

interesting hypothesis…

I have made other posts about how demons differ based on what they eat. I thought this scene when Don, Gilda, Emma, Ray, Violet and Zack were searching for the golden water temples was every interesting

We as the readers have seen demons with feet like that! (These are just Bayon cuz his outfit makes it the easiest to see his feet)

i don’t think it has ever been explicitly said that masks are a sign of wealth, we only know that older/richer/ more dangerous demons have masks that are harder to break

but if they are a sign of pride and status then lower class demons that the protags were interacting with would not have seen the faces of rich demons before!

so hypothetically the humans could show their faces/feet and claim they were rich demons that didn’t show regeneration? The poor most likely haven’t seen human faces before because brains are the most valuable part

but I don’t think it’s been confirmed how well they can smell humans since they had to wear perfume

(Chapter 102)

Rambled about this before on this post, but I really wish they would explained how the search party is able to see out of their masks, even if it was a single panel of Emma pointing out something like nearly imperceptible eye slits.

(Chapter 147 | Chapter 149 | Chapter 150)

Older, classical masks like those of the elder Bayons (compared to those of Bayon II's wife and children), Yverk, and Geelan's clan incorporate a pair of symmetrical, horizontal, and frequently vacant eye holes among their designs.

In the chapter 90 bonus sketch, this is mentioned as respecting tradition, which I interpret as a holdover from the days of demons hunting humans, and the intention of that incorporation was to play on pareidolia-enhanced fear among humans who, out of habit, would look toward the horizontal pair of eye holes first when gazing upon demons in combat and would frequently be treated to an unflinching, menacing abyss. It's a good subtle tactic to unnerve them before they take in the rest of the mask.

Once the farm system was instituted and demons weren't regularly warring with humans anymore, it became unnecessary and seemed to fall out of style among the general population who weren't banished like the Geelan clan.

I assume this is the main reason the kids don't opt for horizontal eye holes. There's also the issue of demons potentially catching sight of their human eyes, but there has to be some black cloth to work with in the bunker that could have lined the masks if they couldn't get whatever magic Bayon and Yverk use for no other eyes or skin to show through their horizontal mask sockets.

Either way, it's one less thing to make them stand out from the crowd when they're already contending with their comparatively short statures, human hands and feet, and having to wear perfume.

Sorry but this was funny. Mister you are not ok. Seek professional help lmao

Also is his name lewis or leuvis? I’ve seen both of these names from different sources

Shout-out to this Oliver / Zack moment

[foggytiredwombat]

[loyaldis]

It has been four years, and I am still reusing the same flowers I drew back then because I sure won't draw them again.

Obligatory TPN drawing for the last day of the year.

[notelectrictigerart]

Happy birthday Emma! Bringing back the chapter illustration for today!

#this seems much more likely to me than the alternative #which is that leuvis experienced a drastic worldview change as a side-effect of his brush with death #and is impressed enough that he wants to give these specific kids (or humanity at large) a chance #and that… kinda seems to be what canon suggests? #which grosses me out a bit ngl #probably my least favorite aspect of the ending and that’s saying something #anyway I like this much better #lifelong disappointment be upon this fiend (via @esthelle18)

Leuvis waking up on November 14, 2047, after having sweet, sweet dreams of hunting humans openly in the wild again for the first time in 1000 years:

Did Leuvis even know the kids were escaping to the human world when he announced to abolish all the farms?

Imagine he was hoping to hunt naturally but then was met by disappointment 💀
