#but I need some help - wasn't it stated in the guide books that sometimes doctors would come around and supervise the children's health?

[officersnickers]

Hi i see you love my post about isabella being a dentist to her kids. Thank you so much :D Also i would like to give a bit of a brainstorming and answering your questions based on my opinions/theories Personally for me when i was a kid losing a tooth is not as disturbing one would think especially when you have a parent like isabella who assures you that it will grow back because you are still a child and it will not hurt because your teeth are not permanent yet. (i experienced many of my teeth being pulled due to tooth decay when i was young) but again its my opinion and experience. I'm not invalidating you or anything. I'm sorry if i did. (plus isabella can be manipulative at times and would bribe her kids with rewards) other question - are the kids vaccinated? while it is possible that they have doctors in the tpn world that does not mean they live in the same time and mindset as us. I believe My answer would be no. There's no viruses like covid in the tpn world. Just simple sickness like colds. Plus they live in a different time and "safe" isolated area. what happens when someone needs an operation? ok this is a tricky one. I believe it would depend on what part of the body that needs a surgery. They will either give the kids an operation while they are babies to cure whatever disease they got or give the baby to the demons. They can't risk the kids finding out the dark truth. Meaning very very few people will go the the orphanage.

but what if the kid needs surgery when they are no longer babies?

I can imagine the mamas make sure the kids eat on time, drink 8 or more glasses a day, sleep on time, and many health procedures. So chances of that happening are rarely. but when they do, they will probably get shipped out or the mama will be the one doing the surgery. who knows Maybe they will send a doctor?????? idk what do you think?

First of all, thank you for giving such a great analyses! It was a pleasure to further think about your takes.

Talking (and apparently writing) about The Promised Neverland, one of my favourite hobbies ^^ I‘m delighted to see my little babbling in the tags made the gears in your head spin and twist and even resulted in a further analyses!

Surely, a child loosing a tooth is something truly natural and normal; still, even as a kindergarten teacher, seeing some teeth hanging on their dear life in a childrens mouth is giving me nightmares, for sure 😨🦷

Surely Isabella would have found a way by the events of the series to make the procedure less stress- and painful, so the children would have no second thought than to come to her when they will start loosing their teeth (if they grow old enough for this event to happen). Surely, the headquarters showed the sisters and Mamas to be how to deal with children loosing their teeth – however they did this – and Isabella has surely seen worse by now than a bleeding gap in a children‘s gum.

Are the children vaccinated – you said probably no, I would beg to differ and would say: It depends. I just looked up which vaccinations are recommended in the first twelve months (which would be the time window till the babies are shipped out to the farm). Tetanus (which would be a must have for children who could hurt themselves anytime!), diphteria, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, HIB, pneumococci, rotaviruses and/ or meningococci. You may ask why they should vaccinate the children, since they will probably never get in contact with these diseases, but remember this: The babies are constantly together with other children and adults. On top of that, we don’t know how much contact the sisters/ Grandmother have to deal with the demons and Ratris, which also work in the headquarters. It’s surely safe to assume the demons don’t want to loose their precious meat to diseases they could prevent prior, even if the children never would get in contact with them anyway.

Additionally, I also would assume the sister candidates get more vaccinations as soon as they enter headquarters. Spreading diseases in a farm and possibly bringing harm to the goods aka the babies would be the worst case scenario for the demons, I bet. Non to mention, rubella for example could kill the precious merchandise or lead to severe disablities. For a farm that concentrates on intelligent cattle children, this would be a no-go.

Plus, Covid – are we sure one of the scientists or Ratri’s who operated at the headquarters didn’t spread it at one point in the 20’s in any farm? I wouldn’t bet my money on the fact that the big ol’ Rona spared the demon side of the world 🤔😷

Now, operations. Normally, the Mamas and Sisters wouldn’t be in need of it, I guess. On the other hand, Krone stated the orphanage is equipped with tools and medicine products if all would fail.

After all, children are stupid and reckless and even if their bones are more flexible, they are not invincible. One could hurt and break something any time, and for this events the caretakers are surely prepared.

Not to forget, Isabella knew excatly how to break a leg effectivly without making further harm (poor Emma, but it was still impressive). These techniques are probably learned at headquarters and even more, trained with other sister/ Mama-candidated. How many bones did they broke each other while their training? I don’t even want to think about.

Surely enough, the caretakers know, well, how to take care of open wounds, doing stiches, treatening allergic reactions or other diseases a child could develop in the few years they’ve got.

About the former sisters and Mamas becoming doctors – why not? We already saw some of them implementing the heart chips into the girl’s hearts, not to mention to possibility of having to do a c-section, so all some of them would need would be degree in medicine. If they would pursue this goal is another question, regarding everything they are through...

That would be my hot take on this whol discussion. What do you all think? How would Grace Field House (or any other farm) handle these kind of thinks?

So anyway, Mein Herz Brennt Making of liveblog, one of my favourites

First of all, I do take any use of piano MHB as a slight towards my tiny hands. -1 point

I really would love to visit this place, it's beautiful

I love that Oli introduces it and then Till is straight in there talking about murder and stabbings. Trust that to be what intrigues him. I feel like 'smells like murder' isn't a direct translation but that's purely because I spent like ten minutes trying to work out what words he says. It rhymes, which is suspicious.

Oh this was before he let his chest piercing reject all the way out in the grossest way

When schneider says Krankenhaus it sounds very Geordie and I'm convinced that kind of thing is why Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was created

Richards eyes light up when he's talking about the room he's in and it's one of those looks where it's just. I would love to listen to anything anyone has to say when their eyes have that sparkle.

"the scavengers had already been here" cue Paul talking about his criminal past thieving from there. See, another example everyone forgets of him being the biggest bastard of them all. The smile is a front.

One of my favourite ever Rammstein things is the combined joy and mockery from Paul when Richard is revealed to be wearing the bird mask and it wiggles as he nods. He looks like a little black cockatoo. Richard looks embarrassed to be wearing it but Paul is having the time of his LIFE.

The way is echoes in his mask makes him sound like he's clucking

Flakes glasses perching in his cone make him look like that sesame Street doctor or scientist

They all suit this make up so much and I wish they'd consider it as a stage look

Peck. Not intimidated.

Considering the nightmares Till has/had, ouch

Richard looks so much like a little vampire prince but like, a character from what we do in the shadows. He makes his own smokescreen entry/exist and everything.

Melanie!!!

Richard has many tendons in his neck huh.

The sounddd. I used to always be curious as to whether or not people in music videos were making the sounds it looks like they're making and now I know and I'm uncomfortable. This and also later when till does the heart

His laugh is never what I expect it to be

That uh. That doesn't look like he's in pain the way the injection sounds implied. At all. Not that I'm complaining but it gives mixed messages.

I'm so sure Richard is the only one I've ever heard use the word quasi. It makes sense for him if true but maybe I only notice because of the tone he uses? His is quite a punchy nasal tone it might just be more noticeable.

Till with kids is always the most adorable wonderful thing. He's really helping to keep them relaxed despite the creepiness of the stuff they're shooting.

"if you look at the cover then you'll recognise a morbidity to the whole thing" till, my darling, do you think people don't already ~see the morbidity~?

I googled and the lady doesn't pronounce renaissance with a g like Till does and that interests me. In fairness I have to assume it's like in Norwegian how words like restaurant are pronounced with a g sound because it's closer to the French sounds? It's not like we in English donut the French way either but the Google translate lady does. This is why I always suspect that when I'm learning a language I'm learning the language wrong and at some point I'll find out there's a Real, For Adults version if the language that's totally different. This is irrelevant. Accents are fun and I like being able to notice them.

It feels so strange seeing this knowing what Eugenio did

Paul taking pictures because he knows better than them

Something about a child saying "ah yes, I know Till and Flake very well" is hysterical.

You can feel the dismay and disapproval radiating off till as he tries to be diplomatic about the Spanish understanding of linear time. He struggles to find a positive and only comes up with the fire walls. "It should have gone out before we filmed anything because they were fucking around with the playback so long but it didn't" is his only compliment.

The German word for French is wild.

Do they know they could have hired an interpreter? Interpreters existed in 2012 I know this

This whole thing with Melanie is beautiful you can't deny that the arm Eugenio made with then was lovely.

Till in the dress with Melanie in his lap. I don't off the top of my head remember seeing it in either video so I simply must assume that it was just what he was wearing that day when he showed up. She's so tiny on his knee I'm glad they're still friends.

"you're left in a state of trauma when everyone stares at you all the time" did this need to get so heavy? It's interesting that he focused more on her voice than her appearance there, though in fairness it's pretty high

They all love her so much and it's totally understandable.

Mit rock n roll und cola trinken

I have to skip the screaming the secondhand embarrassment is too much.

Part 2

Again, this liveblog is so long

Sometimes Oli speaks like his body isn't used to talking.

I want, so badly, to know if Richard was having memories of his dreadlocked youth The tiny cup in his elegant hand is so pleading and then you look left and. It sure is something.

Are they freckles or acne scars across Tills shoulders?...cute. The first set of arm/chest wounds, not so much. I do spy his lil tummy scar

Richard does look like he almost swooped in for a kiss and then changed his mind because of the camera. Paul turns his head that way and then Richard tries to save with a step back and face rub (his own). Just saying.

The fact that a few of them have taken pictures on their personal phones warms my soul it's such a nice reminder that they're good friends outside of work and My Heart

Schneider and Paul ready at a moment's notice to be Dumbasses. J'adore.

What if Zoran was more of a background character tho actually

God, schneider is beautiful. An ethereal, pure beauty that exists no matter how he's being styled.

See okay how is flake almost taller than Oli right now he's not even doing his standard open legs and swan spine thing

It must be so hard to find Oli sized clothes. Flake is also tall and slim but he's a lot more leg, whereas Olis height seems largely to be torso. I have to assume a lot of his stuff is tailored or custom made now.

I always forget about the marks on tills back when he's in the nightmare dress

The child staring with great confusion at a bright red flake reading. I would love to know what his favourite books are.

The childs plural poking and prodding at a very patient Oli, who gracefully bends his spine in ways I've never seen a human do before. I wonder if he's ever dressed up as Lurch from the Addams family.

The actress playing the woman in this half is so beautiful and has a power her younger counterpart lacked when she was threatening him with her weapon.

I am a dummy and was like weird why is Paul speaking Norwegian. I know full well he wasn't saying unnskyld because I've heard Germans say their equivalent before and I assume Entschuldigen either sounds like that fast or shortens so what the fuck, rhi

Till guiding people through him murdering them is truly one of life's greatest pleasures. They trust him so completely. I would like to watch them dance the elegance would be astounding.

Paul lurking watching with what I choose to see as pride as till slaughters an old woman.

Paul being critical (again, as always, rightly so) of the hallway mouthing the lyrics decision.

"for this in prepared to make compromises" he says, hating every bitter word of it

I would like to know what he wanted to say about till and then see him get into trouble over it.

I would like to see till in a bouncy castle. He's adorable jumping into the comfy pit I want to see him in a bouncy castle. Child, utter child.

Paul takes every opportunity to say how hot he thinks they all are and I love that about him. Sometimes your friends are all hot and everybody needs to understand that fact.

Their approaches to pretending to play cello are all so uniquely them. Flake and Richard are taking the time to try and understand what they're being told, whereas Paul just fucking. Lays into it, attracting the weirdest looks from Oli. Richard looks beautiful with that cello and I think he should learn to play. For fun not for work. It's not just that he looks so handsome, but I think that's the easiest way to convince him. I think he'd be good at it, and not being the lead at something might be good for him.

I appreciate that Oli is skeptical because yeah they do all look like they've never held a cello before.

They do, however, all look lovely in their dresses. I'm trying but actually I can't not say that Schneiders little sternum dip makes it seem like he has breasts in that dress and it's a good look for him.

Till singing it in such a high voice, more like his speaking voice, is both interesting and lovely. Oli is trying... So little compared to the others. Laughably incorrect

Why yes, I am laughing at the sheer length of the spikes. They're just... They're so fucking long. So long.

Paul is actually probably the best one there, ironically. They're all comically out of time. They're professional musicians. I know they aren't used to bowed instruments I do understand and I don't want to be uncharitable but also they are struggling. I want to see cellists react to this.

Pretty dresses! And the nightmare but with the most awful and worst fingers! Like the Grinch but goth.

Both Schneider and Richard had the same neverending shoot idea and I am Intrigued.

Till waiting for Schneider with the umbrella :)

Wir brennen! Paul is always so happy to play with fire.
