okok let me finally do my analysis on kusuke and makoto parallels like ive talked about a thousand times (obvious warning that im gonna talk about incest, and also that im gonna be talking about a gag manga in a serious light so if that upsets you just go away ✌️)... yippee, perverted older brothers with unhealthy dynamics with their powerful younger siblings analysis!!

the most obvious parallel is in their interactions with the others sibling. they literally have the same exact meeting, they both go from being fake nice to "my sibling is special and youre not worthy of them"

not included in pictures but also note that kusuo got rid of makoto by calling on kokomi and kokomi got rid of kusuke by calling on her fans

"the second hes distracted, LETS GO"

"we're the only ones who can match up to each other"

kusukes idea of kusuo being inhuman also influences the way this is treated i think- he tells kokomi that marrying a beautiful man will suit her best and that kusuo is above that kind of thing (aka actual romantic and aesthetic attraction), and it seems that being the only ones who can measure up to each other is probably the closest, in his eyes, that kusuo can get to love (confirmed in my opinion by the marriage/engagement symbolism a few pictures down⬇️). thats why he thinks theyre the only ones worthy of each other even if he doesnt see kusuo in the exact same way as makoto sees kokomi. if that makes any sense :p these are obviously already parallel on surface level, but id say theyre even more similar if you look deeply into it

"i know everything youre thinking" and "everyone else looks like monkeys to me"

associating their sibling with heaven/god

a certain fixation on their sibling's body... top two are specifically them trying to see their sibling naked without consent

? not sure how to describe this. implications of engagement/marriage? this use of an explicitly romantic symbol actually confuses me in kusukes case but thats not really relevant here...

theyre the reason their sibling cant relax or be themself even at home... also note that kusuo specifically says that kusuos masochism (which i guess in some contexts masochism can be non-sexual but in this situation, since kusuke is canonically a pervert and there are several implications and allusions to sexual pleasure, it obviously means he gets SEXUAL pleasure from pain/humiliation) is the main reason he doesnt like him. likewise, kokomi is bothered by makotos overprotective and overbearing nature, though unfortunately she doesnt seem to be aware of his sister complex and thinks hes just being an annoying big brother.

not necessarily something that can be captured in a picture but theres also the fact that they both have pretty perfect lives but are still obsessed with their sibling and only their sibling, its all they really care about and their entire lives depend on them.

makoto is extremely attractive, charming when hes trying to be, and is a famous actor... he clearly gets girls. but he doesnt want any of them because hes stuck in his obsession with kokomi, shes the only girl he wants and its ruined his perception of other girls. he believes hes the only one that can be right for kokomi and touch her, and that likewise kokomi is the only girl he can be with. her presence dictates his life, he skips work just to follow her around and prevent her from getting involved with other guys. we only see maybe a few sentences from him where he isnt talking about kokomi, even when hes on tv.

kusuke is an attractive and charming genius, easily pulls girls, cambridge graduate, and is the favorite child in his family. but none of that matters, it only sets him apart from other humans and gives him a skewed perspective of anyone who isnt kusuo. he believes kusuo is the only person he can get that sadomasochistic pleasure from, and kusuo is the reason he developed it in the first place and he specifically seeks him out and coerces him into it. he really only cares about his family, theyre the only people in the world that are worth anything in his eyes, and his only interactions with anyone else have been using them as tools to get to kusuo. his life goal is (or was, before the end of cat tank arc) defeating kusuo. he has cameras in his familys house that hes presumably constantly watching, implied by him being ALREADY watching before his parents even called him about kusuos limiter.

This is Reedbelly! Swiftstar's rowdy brother and the little devil on everyone's shoulder trying to enable them into things they probably shouldn't do but would be REALLY fun if they did.

He's a charmer like his brother which seems to get him out of trouble at least some of the time. At this point it's just expected that he's going to wreck havoc one way or another but it's all in good fun.

This is Reedbelly's world and the rest of Moorclan is just living in it as far as he's concerned.

He does have an issue of weak joints and has had a couple of broken bones during his apprenticeship. Thankfully he is still kicking and doesn't plan on slowing down any time soon.

so. The Incident has run its full course now. grian and scar blew up a tunnel bore and now-- now they, and the server at large, have removed Doc's base. this isn't an apology for The Incident, Grian and Scar. this isn't going to make up for The Incident. this is potentially worse than The Incident. what have you done to yourselves and the rest of the server. The Incident Two.

when i was 12 this was the coolest most mindblowing shit ever i was genuinely so obsessed with it I'd read it very day like the bible. I would die for a version of this with the post 3D world content over my country

i don't wanna get this incorrect but iirc. vyncent's dad betrayed the greats & sent (?) him through the portal. because he saw vyncent was there from having secretly tagged along & was in danger, right? i don't wanna go listen through the whole fauna arc again 2 catch where i remember this but i feel like, it was said pretty clearly at one point that his dad betrayed them at the last minute for him. or am i just fucking making shit up????

I never understood why people are so obsessed over whether a pairing was planned from the onset or not. Part of writing of any sort, not just novels, is letting your characters grow. You put them alongside other characters and build up their interpersonal relationships that take on a mind of their own. Honestly, if a pairing wasn't planned from the onset but developed as the story went on until the creator felt they had to incorporate it because it was so natural it flowed, well, I think that's awesome.
