God I’m so fucking chill and normal about that goddamn lantern.
Like imagine you somehow defy the odds and break out of literal hell with that light, and the first thing you do upon returning to earth is use it to give warmth to a dying boy. You can’t save him, but you can comfort him.
Then you run away from Death together, and you take that lantern with you. He teaches you about the modern world, and you teach him about being a ghost. You build an existence around one another.
The lantern falls to the wayside. Perhaps you notice, perhaps you don’t, but after some time you know where you are and where you want to be—you don’t need it to guide you anymore.
And then you’re back in hell, and you do need it again. If you had a moment to spare between the pain and the fear, you’d scold yourself for letting your guard down. For losing it. For being so stupid.
But then, by some miracle, it’s in front of you and he’s in front of you and you’re escaping by the light of that lantern all over again, only now you’re holding his hand as you run.
At first you can’t believe he held onto it for so long when even you forgot about it. But then, of course he did, didn’t he?
So you tell him you love him on the steps of hell by the light of that lantern, and he loves you back, and you don’t quite know how that love will look, but you’re not worried.
Because you start to think that maybe it isn’t so foolish to trust someone else to carry your lantern for a while.

spoilers for kn8 manga literally scroll past right now if ur not caught up
panels that changed my fucking life
i think what really hit me the most was narumi’s reaction to kikoru’s tears like you’ve to remember she’s still just 16 years old and has lost BOTH parents. both while fighting kaiju.
even though it wasn’t established in the main manga i have to wonder if he saw himself just a little seeing her break down like that given he also lost his parents in a kaiju attack
and it’s just their shared similarity of wanting (needing) to meet isao’s expectations - kikoru because she was raised to do so as his daughter (and after hikari died he had to be the one to harden his heart and toughen her up) and narumi because isao gave him a chance
their mentor/mentee relationship really makes me happy tbh and i think it’s developed really well i hope we get a second season just so i can see it animated 🥹 they mean a lot to me and with isao gone i think they do mean a lot or each other too
i also think it’s crazy how the words isao said to narumi is what he tells kikoru now… kaiju no8 really is about the full cycles and parallels and taking your chances </3

Don’t mind me, Just going to ramble on main to relieve some stress
It sucks that irl has been so draining lately 🥲 For many reason besides the weather
I was really looking forward to posting certain posts and really hyped about it but I’m going to delay them for a bit until I get out of this mental funk.
Which suuuuccckkss because I was looking forward to it but I would rather be hyped and excited when I post them rather than just post to post you know? If that makes sense?
Want to keep the positive and loving vibe you know? At least for me personally. Because it makes me happy
So going to just delay certain posts for now until I’m out of this mental funk.
I’ll still be rambling and such, that’ll never change tho 😂
That something you all will always be stuck with 🫶😆

I made Rapunzels little anklet from TTS :))
I used clear (ish) beads to separate the big ones to try and replicate how they are separated in the original, the colour is obviously very much not accurate but it works :)
(Sorry for the horrific photo quality pictures were hard to find)
