Chainsaw Man Chapter 137: Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura
Oh what, you thought we were going to be thought provoking and actually dive into Denji's struggle as a character through a normal lens? Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: "Never expect Fujimoto to be normal".
The whole chapter is expectation subversion, which perfectly captures both Fujimoto's sense of humor, and his absolute desire for b-list and camp. I mean, just look at how we open, Denji giving a surprisingly long winded (for him) monologue about maturing past the point of taking whatever kind of affection he can.... before it's revealed that it's all in his head and he's sucking on a dead devil.
In all honesty though, this is rather unironically an important moment for Denji. Why? Because he knows better. He himself understands the situation that he's in, that he should be better than what he's doing, that he shouldn't be caving to the whims and mockery of a girl offering an empty promise. But he can't stop himself. He's so far below rock bottom in this moment that it doesn't matter if it's a lie, it doesn't matter if she's hazing him. What matters is that she's giving him attention, and a chance to delude himself from his current station in life.
Anyways, the pair go to a karaoke place and the girl gets going on a song, leading to probably one of Fujimoto's best action sequences in all of part 2 now.
And no, it's not the action itself that makes this an incredible moment, it's quite literally everything else. Denji fell for the trap, he took it hook, line, and sinker and is now stuck fighting off a small army of men with baseball bats while the girl sings an absolute rager in the background. The entire setup is just incredible, the sheer thrill that both viewers and Denji alike feel from the moment is impeccable, and it ends the chapter on just the right note.
I mean, look at this, the pile of bodies littering the hallway, the three panel shot of Denji's face, the matchup to end the chapter. Absolutely masterclass Fujimoto work on display.
I'd really like to take a closer look at Denji's reaction (and all the guys with bats too). These three panels give sort of a double meaning to Denji's character, in my opinion. The first, is self-deprecating humor at the fact that he ever thought he might stand a fraction of a snowball's chance in hell for the trap to not be a trap. And the second, well the second is Denji finding that Chainsaw Man spark again. Pure unadulterated violence, the feeling of superiority, of a challenge or uphill fight laid against him. Denji's in his element now, and that's dangerous for our girl here.
Anyways, the guys with bats. Very funny idea considering the girl "gets around", so seeing a lineup of guys appear with bats while Denji and this girl are on a "date" is a pretty good type of humor.
Overall, for how insane this chapter is, it's exactly what Denji needed. He needed to be beat down, he needed to feel that desperation, he needed to remember who he is. That even if he goes to school now, even if he has a little sister and a house and food and all sorts of stuff, that the part of him that became Chainsaw Man is still a part of Denji. That they're two sides of the same coin. That he's still strong and capable and dangerous, and that he can keep chasing all the dreams he could ever want.

The prefectsbride
princes bride but with octavinelle as the 3 guys who kidnap the princess. The banter and the quotes would be so funny!
for example:
Jade leaning over to floyd: That Azul, he can fuss.
Floyd nodding: Fuss, fuss … I think he likes to scream at us.
Jade smirking at Floyd with an amused expression: Probably he means no harm.
Floyd smiling widely: He’s really very short on charm.
Jade: You have a great gift for rhyme.
Floyd nods: Yes, yes, some of the time.
Azul glaring: Enough of that.
Jade, after a minute of silence: Floyd, are there rocks ahead?
Floyd trying not to laugh: If there are, we all will be dead.
Azul annoyed: No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Floyd with a shit-eating grin as he pulls out a peanut: Anybody want a peanut?
... OR
Mc struggling to get past the eelmer: Look, are you just messing around with me or what?
Floyd slapping them back with his tail: I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed~
... OR
Azul about his contracts: You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen.
... OR
As Azul is overblotting: You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!— the most famous of which is, “Never get involved in a land war in the Roses” — but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Cecelia when death is on the line”! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I love this movie so much, I could write so many more with other characters if anyone is interested. Just wanted to share this idea that hit me at midnight.
#twst#my stuff#my writing#twst x reader#twst mc#twst crack#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland x reader#octavinelle#the banter is so much fun ok#I quote this movie so much#I could defenelty see the aduce duo as fezzic and inigo once vizinni is dead#roses ramblings#hehe#funny stuff#the prefectsbride

Hii I wanted to know , did helaena and aemond died on the same day ? I saw many antis on Twitter claiming they don't and helaena die few days later after aemond died. Now antis saying the Rise of dragons books has timeline and they dont die the same day
saying RoTD says aemond and helaena died on different days.They even contacted the mod to edited the wiki page.
You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: You believed George RR Martin's canon is rock-solid!
In all seriousness.
I've been apart of the ASoIaF fandom for going on thirteen years - before the show. I picked up the books the moment I heard that Lena Headey got cast in some pilot for a new fantasy show project called "Game of Thrones" - being a huge "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" fan I had to check it out.
In all twelve and a half years ... never once has GRRM ever settled on one thing or the other. He has constantly retconned and changed canon to fit whatever gaff or inconsistency he put in the later books. The history of "The Dance of the Dragons" has changed so many fucking times in the last ten years that it'll make your head spin. Rhaenyra went from being an well established tyrant and villain in the ASoIaF Historical canon - written into the fucking books for Twenty Years! - to being a grey character, to now being the protagonist of the story.
Alicent was introduced as a ghost that allegedly haunts the Queen's chambers in Cersei's POV chapters, described by Cersei as a former queen who loved her Kingsguard and leapt off the balcony when he died - Cersei thinks that she could relate. This is followed earlier by Jaime's POV talking about Criston Cole who was loyal to his queen to the very end - a man he admires. You're supposed to but two and two together.
Now, some Black-Stan or Reply Guy will come into this post and go "Na-ugh, asshole! That's not in the books!"
Yeah, not anymore, mother fucker! It was taken out of the book in later printings once GRRM got the development deals with HBO to do "House of the Dragon" and started writing "Fire & Blood" as a pitch bible for his tv show ideas.
Do you know how many times "The Disaster of Summerhall" has been rewritten and changed by GRRM? Do you know that in the original book it is said that Rhaegar was the sole survivor of the fire, saved by Jenny of Oldstones - and that he saw something that night that made him realize the coming of the "Long Night"? Now, GRRM changed it so that Rhaegar was born during the disaster. Once more the new printings of the book changed the text to fit with what was written in "The World of Ice and Fire".
Even the "Fire & Blood" on the shelves right now is not the same book that got released five or six years ago. Whole section are rewritten to gel with "House of the Dragon".
All I can say is welcome to the fold, Nonny. Get used to smug jerk-offs coming into your DMs and Asks claiming that canon which has been established for nearly a decade is now not canon and that you're spreading "Misinformation" or "Fanfiction" when its simply that Evil Santa Clause changed his mind again and they got the new update before you.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, 'never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'never look what the food is like!'

Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against several super powered teenagers, when magic jewelry is on the line!'

Harry, to Voldemort: You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'never get in a land war in Asia', but only slightly less known is this: 'Never go against magical teenagers when a soul trinket is on the line'!
