New to your eternity chapter sure was something

Yea! I mean, me investing in Abel Day stocks and reaping returns? Fuck yea! I definitely feel like I won something! And I'm gonna keep winning. I've also invested in the Doll-san stocks!

It actually gave me a Ramble Essay idea, but I'm kinda busy with work and some other things at the moment. The mood for rambling is also a little low right now because...

What do you think though? Liked the chapter? Some of our fellas have begun thinking that Abel might be the reincarnation/rebirth of Hana, ya know! For that MizuHanna continuation. It's mostly the glasses, I think, 'cause I don't think Abel looks like Hana or Parona. But I'm never good at recognizing faces or semblances both in manga and real life anyway, and maybe one of the characters will point out that Abel looks like Hanna again?

What are your thoughts?

Chapter 174

The big question for this chapter is why AD helped the doll escape. My theory is that he's trying to keep Anton, specifically, away from her, but it's worth noting that a lot of people think he and the doll/32 have some sort of special connection.

I don't think that's very likely. His parents are 4-star or 3-star, not allowed on the fifth level, and there was an eight year time-skip between when the doll was thrown into the garbage shoot (and presumably when 32 died) and when she woke up. AD was about eight years old at the time Andy was born. The Mizuha clones were in a lab on the highest level. Although AD has an uncle—Rabbit—who is a Kaibara employee, it's very unlikely that he was up there without a tag-chip at eight years old. It's possible, I guess?? But it doesn't make much sense.

AD was also looking for the doll on Rabbit's orders the first few times we saw him. He even successfully captured her at one point. But clearly something's changed. Between then and now, the new variable that's been added to the equation is Anton. In Chapter 170.4, AD had Bon in his hands but voluntarily let him go when he saw that Anton was in trouble. Helping the doll might be an attempt to undermine Anton's reign of terror for his own good.

Or, actually? The doll is the one who suggests that AD may have come to warn them, because she wants to believe that she has a past and that there are people out there who care about her. But it might just be that she spared his life and he wanted to repay the favor. He would probably prefer capturing an immortal to capturing someone who's lacking like him.

Fushi's still doing their best to respect other people's resolve. Maybe not the right call for this specific situation but good on them.

If AD never had a chip embedded to begin with, that means his mom gave birth to him, meaning—by Fushi's logic—that his parents loved each other that much. And it's true, when they have Andy made they do seem pretty lovey-dovey. But having the first child born naturally and the next child created exactly how they like seems to imply that there's something unsatisfying about AD. Something "lacking," as it were. Sorry.

Although AD is literally from both of their DNA, they created Andy to match the two of them. Literally, his eye colors were chosen to look like theirs. From an outsider's perspective, AD must seem like the odd one out.

Despite that, AD and Anton's relationship looks pretty good. Anton used to look up to him, we can tell that much from the way he idolized the pick-up hunters and went off to help them the instant he was old enough. Now he's patronizing AD because he's suddenly so much stronger. So... it's a little bit tumultuous. Nothing big, just something tiny that might blow up later.

Just want to say, at this point Fushi's friends die all the time. Gugu just said so on the previous page. Tonari died earlier this morning. It's such a common occurrence that everyone thinks it's a little strange that Fushi's protesting. @kafkaoftherubble pointed out (or I pointed it out... I genuinely don't remember) that they probably don't want their friends to see anything they shouldn't as ghosts. So that's... interesting.

My gift for @puddtoast for @dishonoredgiftexchange’s 2024 fugue feast. I went with the prompt of Aramis Stilton thinking about lost love in the wake of Luca’s downfall while listening to his last audiograph from Theodanis Abele, and then realizing he’ll be okay when a monarch butterfly lands on the audiograph player.

I’ve been head over heels for this emotional sucker punch of a prompt, so I hope I did it justice!! Also I’m delighted to have finally drawn Stilton for the first time. Thank you for providing such fun and detailed prompts to choose from! (Btw I didn’t know what symbolism you were hoping for - if any - when requesting a monarch, so I ran with what I grew up with, in terms of the whole “carrying souls of the dead” thing. Hope that works for you!)

What's with all the bird women

What IS with all the bird women. Unknown.

The second bird teacher has paws, not talons, which I think is kinda interesting. She's more like a gryphon. Except a gryphon would have talons up front and paws in the back, so maybe not.

I can't imagine a practical reason for having all the teachers be birds, but analytically, you could say it's to show that they're like parrots. They mindlessly repeat what they've been told and teach students to do the same.

Yeah... what we can infer is already pretty bad. I mean, right now it looks like his parents sent him to get fixed by Kaibara when they found out he was lacking, and they're taking him back now that he has a tag chip? What the fuck. Well, there'll be more to be terrified about next week. Look forward to it.

Adam and his sons (Cain, Abel, Seth). I like the thought of Adam’s first five children to be taller or the same height as him.

Also Cain character sheet for the sake of my sanity.
