Sorry, most likely my memory being poor, but I thought Malleus' mom (don't know how to spell her name and too lazy to check how to spell it) was already an adult when Lilia ""proposed""?? Like I was always under the assumption that it was like a one-sided child crush on somebody completely out of your league you tend to have as a kid 💀

I don't think they say how old she was? although it's entirely possible I just misunderstood; my Japanese is...shaky. :') the actual line is "幼い頃に私に求婚したのは偽りか?", which I read as "isn't it true that you proposed to me as a kid?", and took as her being older than him, but not necessarily an adult (like, I was thinking of Lilia as being not quite a preteen and Mel being preteen/young teen). although I don't know if there's a connotation or something I'm missing that implies a bigger age gap, if that makes sense!

(and of course, I might also just be forgetting some other line -- if someone else knows, then please correct me! I need to know which headcanons need adjusting 👀)

BUT YEAH in a canon-y sense, Malleus is 178 and around the third-years developmentally. which makes me think that even though dragons have a way longer lifespan, they go through childhood at about the same rate as most fae (or at least the kind that Lilia is) and just kinda...slow waaaaay down once they hit adulthood. so it makes sense in my brain that he and Meleanor could've basically grown up together!

...it makes it angstier that way, anyway. :)

Macaque my beloved

More drawings n stuff under cut cause it’s getting a lil 2 longgg😌😎😎

Silly goofy idea that 6EM & SWK genderswap sumtimes 2 have a “girls night out” (named by SWK) 4 funsies (they r the entire gender spectrum & I won’t b taking any criticisms)

Sketches cause I like them:

Also the fit’s r from Lego Monkie Kid S2 E7: Shadow Play, & Taylor Swift’s Era tour, specifically Midnights I think (one of my besties is a Swiftie & the 2nd I saw it I was like “that’s so 6EM-core”)

Till's piece from the event is a very honest depiction, but I want to examine it in more detail since it looks so interesting.

For one, I find the headpiece confusing, I was hesitant on this point in the last post I made covering this I assumed the headpiece Till is wearing (separate from the headphones) was this device.

There isn't even a name for that device, but it's been theorized that it serves a similar function have the collars pet humans have, but affects the pet humans in some way.

I believe it's a behavioral management device since there is an emphasis on the brain when it's shown. And just based on the design itself. I think the purpose of it is similar to a shock collar.

Till in this environment looks familiar, he has that focused expression that he always has when he's writing music, like he's in a daze. Since this is a practice in a controlled environment I think he might actually be handling an instrument this time around (hence the headphones). Till has a natural passion for music, the environment of Anakt Garden also appears more calm than what he goes through with Urak so he looks very much in his element.

But despite how calm, and focused he looks outwardly, his collar shows orange.

Till is giving with his expressions even around the aliens, so if he was feeling bad (I would suspect as much seeing the fresh experiment patches..) I believe it would look more obvious, but the difference threw me off a bit. I could be reaching (definitely) But given how unruly his behavior can be, and how much effort the aliens are putting into finding ways to subdue him I think they used that device to mellow him out so that they could properly monitor him.

The collar being orange gives me the impression that he's not as calm as he looks but the headpiece is keeping him in a 'sedated' state(?)

Red - Condition in the negatives, energy depleted, feeling bad. overall horrible state.

Orange, yellow - to a lesser extent, more like if you're feeling skittish, nervous, (think of this mode as feeling under the weather)

Green - Good, calm, happy, normal and a healthy mode.

(Translation by kh47uo on Twitter)

This behavior could also show desensitization, as he had likely been conditioned to not be phased nor show weakness in front of the aliens even if he feels bad, a way of tolerating. But this is just me trying to make sense of whatever that head gear was... he could've also been sedated beforehand (banging my head against the concrete)

Also interesting to me that we weren't shown Till doing other things, like dancing, or singing. I think it's a testament to Anakt's (And Urak's) priorities as they have Till build on his music skills, his strongest skill. It's probably because that's all he has to offer is his music (His grades in every other subject are a mess.). So building that to its greatest potential before anything is important. But it's a reminder of the situation, he's not so intense about his craft because of his inclination to it. He doesn't make music simply because he likes it, he does it because it's what he has to do to survive. Despite doing what he is naturally driven to do, he looks like he has had his life drained out of him.

Urak (the bastard) knows that for sure. Appearances, and 'decent' skills can get you far but overwhelming passion and skill can put you farther above all the rest, it's exactly why Luka is the best in his league, and why Urak pushes Till to his limits to surpass that even with such destructive means.

Official translation of chp 248 is out, and with it better quality panels.

Nomura-san (the mangaka) tweeted about being happy to draw Chigiri's sister again, as well as the Kunigami sisters. Going off another tweet about the LNs from one of the BL promo accounts, the cat is likely intended to be the one from Chigiri's LN 🐈‍⬛

now, sign my petition for Chigiri-nee-san and the Kunigami girls to meet at the U20 World cup

The official translation for Kunigami's panel is pretty close to what PO2 scans went with. He's described as a catalyst though, versus PO2's someone "designed to raise the level of the other unpolished gems". While the wording is more vague, we can still interpret this to mean Kunigami's acting on Ego's orders rather than participating willingly in the NEL. His purpose isn't to secure a high bid for his own sake—it's to have an effect on others. 🥲

Lastly, there's something inherently funny (and ironic) about Kaiser's insult. Pot, meet kettle.

Yknow a lot of aus (school aus specifically) portray Morro as some kind of rebel kid who doesn’t give a shit

…forgetting that Morro couldn’t possibly give more shits than he gives, he gives that that much of a shit. Guys Morro was a try hard he tried so hard he fucking died.

All I’m saying is that your high school Morro would only be in detention because he punched a teacher that scored him 97% on a test.

He’s that kid wants to be class President and is wildly jealous that someone else got picked instead of him. He’d have no friends because he’s too busy corrected them and acting like he’s better than them.

Morro is a try hard, a cool kid wannabe, and mayhaps a smug little shit as a treat.

You know. The thought occurs to me. That the reason Junko didn't just give the whole cast of DR2 their memories back. Is because it was never about them. And it was never about Junko actually coming back in their bodies.

Not for her.

It was literally all about screwing with Makoto.

Because all Junko had to do to get out was give them their memories back and tell them the plan, and most of them (if not all) would have willingly died to bring her back. That's why they were there in the first place - to bring her back. And we know Junko could have given them those memories at any point because she gave Mikan her memories back.

She just didn't.

Because it was significantly more entertaining to put on a show of the cast killing each other and sending it to Makoto and just, Hey, you know those people you were trying to save? Hey, GUESS WHAT.

Junko said, Hey, Makoto, you want another opportunity to beat me at a game where I could literally win easily - more easily than last time! I just don't have to do ANY OF THE THINGS I HAVE BEEN DOING, but you know what, I just want to screw with you and show you that your hope SUCKS. Oh, and also, can you bring Kyoko and Byakuya and then kill me again, I'd like to die again, please, I did not get enough sweet despair of death last time, you gonna come save these dweebs or what?

This didn't even have to be a game! This was not hard! Junko made it harder! To screw with Makoto! Because she doesn't actually care about winning! And she doesn't actually want to be back in the real world again, Izuru. The real world sucks, and she's tired of it! Just let her die already!

That's why it's very clear that Junko is waiting for Makoto. It's very clear - from her - that the Remnants aren't the main cast. Makoto is. The survivors are. It was never - for her - about getting back out into the main world.

It's literally just about screwing with Makoto. (And maybe getting him stuck for all of eternity in a virtual world with her. Maybe. That'd be fun, right, Makoto. Right, bestie. Right??)

How would Alejandro react to Assistant Noah complimenting the charmer for manipulating Sierra WITHOUT flirting with her + for tricking Sierra into embarrassing his boss (Chris Mclean)? 😎

Well. If Noah's complimenting Alejandro for his sabotage of Sierra in New York, the first thing he'd try to do is deny it entirely.

Despite being proud of his skills in manipulation, a lot of Alejandro's gameplan rides on him being seen as genuine and trustworthy by those around him - straight up admitting that he tricked Sierra into falling out of Chris' good graces would be a blow to the manifacutred image of a chivalrous and good-spirited Alejandro, which is what he presents himself in the early competition.

He does something along these lines to Heather when she calls him out for exactly this in the episode. Though, it's less outright denial and moreso redirection of her attention... via flirting... Speaking of Heather, the only reason Alejandro is fine with her suspicion/antagonism is because he knows that no one else is going to listen to her. If anything, Heather's "dislike" of him lends credence to his act - since any enemy of Heather's is automatically a friend of pretty much the rest of the cast.

Of course, Noah would see straight through the paper-thin lies, because he's got the same perspective as the audience (that is to say, he's got a third party perspective of the competiton and can easily recognise Alejandro as the season's main "villain", plus he's seen the confessionals) and, in all likelihood, had a hand in casting Alejandro in the first place to be the antagonist; of course he knows Alejandro's true colours.

So Alejandro would be met with a conflict of interests here; on the one hand, he's been given the perfect oppertunity to build a rapport with Chris' personal assistant, potentially ensuring himself some insider help for the competition at hand and - if he plays his cards right - knowledge and blackmail material on his competitors.

On the other hand, he'd have to drop his act to do so, which could be disasterous should any of his other castmates see and/or overhear.

Plus, Noah specifying that he's impressed that Alejandro can manipulate people without flirting would be a point of contention between the two, or at least a percieved jab at Alejandro. He's a very capable and very prideful person by nature, and Noah implying that he had previously assumed Alejandro only knew how to exploit people via seduction/flirting would absolutely be taken as an insult, even if it wasn't meant to be.

Though I doubt Alejandro would put two and two together in this instance and realise that it's just a round-about way of Noah asking him if all of the flirting he'd done towards Noah himself was an attempt at manipulation or not.

Personally I see this whole scenario being a poorly worded olive branch on Noah's part which Alejandro unintentionally snubs, thus cementing Noah's initial "dislike" and distrust of Alejandro.

As a result, Alejandro would fail to react at all, too overcome with indecision to reply in time before Noah's interest/investment in the conversation wavers and he walks away. Leaving Alejandro to stand there dumbly, wondering how Noah could so easily pick up on his schemes when everyone else (sans Heather) is clueless.
