Okay, but let's talk for a second about accessibility in M!IK's Netherworld. First of all, I love, LOVE, that the characters in this manga are so heterogeneous in size and shape. I mean, look at MeiMei, they're as big as one of Amduscias's foot, and still taken very seriously :')

Tbh it kinda makes most other series look pretty boring - and I like it this way, the real world is heterogeneous and media should be to (imo). With that said, different shapes can be treated very differently, right? Say, think about making fat people pay for a bigger seat instead of making bigger seats where everyone is more comfy... Weird right? Specifically this panels really hit me:

It low-key sent me into a spiral, not gonna lie. "So, we are literal demons and technically we live in a ruthless world, but also we think about the needs of everybody and accomodate accordingly, because why wouldn't we" And that's not it! For instance, not all demons have tails, but all Babyls uniforms have holes for them, and who doesn't have one simply carries on with their life. (Also, the freedom to customize them... Top notch. And you can mix and match like Opera did, or wear a different one like Azz and Ameri, so no real binarism either ♡)

Honestly, if this is how the Netherworld is, I may just start to summon random demons and ask to be brought there, it's worth a chance if you ask me

I'm so curious about Dantalion Dali-sensei like I want to know him moooreeeee!!!

[mandatorybear]

I'm so glad Opera is a teacher now, so many opportunities to tease an old kouhai ><

Okay so- start off with this.

It’s not that Kalego is being spiteful and petty and won’t raise Iruma’s rank

It’s that he CANT.

Which makes sense. There’s a total of 10 ranks and the teachers can get them halfway there to 5 before that’s all they can do.

For them to rank up any more than that they need to take a test and be approved by of one the crowns

As for the Scala itself.

The crown has to be impartial

It has to be beneficial to the netherworld

I was expecting it to be something like- take care of the next generation for X amount of time since we see him surrounded by a bunch of kids earlier in the chapter.

Or maybe something with training first years for the harvest festival? But that isn’t until after summer break?

BUT EITHER WAY NOPE

MEPHISTO SAYS YALL FOUNDING A COUNTRY—

POV: Most fun to be around Dantalion Dali is handing you a drink

[incorrect-mairuma]

Rubbing Robin's age in his face

Dali: Man, when I was your age...

Suzy: Oh, how it would feel to be young again...

Kalego: Silence- *proceeds to scold Robin for swearing*

Balam: Hey now sonny, you can't be drinking that yet. *takes away his wine*

Robin: Oh my god.

*one day later*

Robin: Do you need that food blended so you can eat it better?

March: Want some help up those stairs? We can rest if you want to.

I love this, for so many reasons and on so many levels.

[misaqtx]

what in the world is in his room

if my friends dare me 30$ to go in there best believe they better raise it to 1000$

also why am i just realizing his room got like a blanket or whatever hanging 😟 tryna cover up a murder scene fr

[xatsperesso]

I have read a funny fic (not finished, sadly) where Kalego's wicked phase was him being VERY VERY OVERPROTECTIVE. He was keeping his student in the royal one and didn't le them go away from his watch, or anyone else enter, even Balam XD (and the staff decide to call Narnia for help)

And now i imagine a wicked phase like that : he would lock up himself and the misfits in the royal class and would let anyone get in or get out. NOBODY. He would keep his student under his watch because he refuse to let them being hurt. So keeping them under his watch is the best way.

He would see any other adult as threats for his students, even Balam. He would attack Opera as soon he see him because HE sees him as a threat, even if not for the students. He would attack even Sullivan if he tried to get Iruma back.

Because this child get hurt so easely!! He MUST keep him SAFE.

Dadlego mode "over 9000"

In the fic, he even kidnapp Buer, catching him by a window when he sees him passing by, because one of the students is hurt (so need a healer). and he let not him go away neither. And i think that this idea is hilarous.

Now it's my headcanon! WP!Kalego is VERY protective, so much that he's a threat of everyone except his students XD

So now imagine WP!Dantalion and WP!Kalego happening in the same time.

FUCK no one will be able to leave the school. That's it, this is their lives now. They need to adapt to living in the school until both of the teachers are out of their wicked phases XD

But can you imagine how confused and scared the misfits were the first time kalego locked them in the royal class?

Cause i imagine it like kalego locks them up and then stares at them to be able to respond the second someone needs help

But all the kids see is there stern teacher acting weird, locking them up for some reason, and then proceeds to glare at them in silence (cause he's alert in case someone tries breaking in, but the kiddos dont know)

And i guarantee you every one of them will remember every mistake they ever made, unsure which one made their teacher act like this and fear for their lives.

And to make matters worse and scarier to the kids, they keep seeing teachers trying and failing to get into royal one and the kids just don't understand what's going on???

But the big question is, will the two demons in their wicked phase fight, or will they join forces to keep their students safe

You see, on one hand demons are territorial, and each teacher will see the other as encroaching on their territory. Kalego is refusing to let dali see his treasure. Dantalion, a demon in his wicked phase, is a threat to kalego's students. A fight will surely ensue

And the fact that kalego is standing up to Dantalion, his senior, must annoy dali quite a bit.

But they could see it another way. Maybe Dantalion will let kalego, a part of his treasure, do what he wants. If he fought him, kalego might get hurt. And it seems like it's healthy to let demons in the wicked phase act on their desires, so dali will just let him feel safe with the students, and it's not like dali can't go in there if he wants.

Or maybe they find common ground to stand on. Kalego allows dali to see the students as long as dali doesn't get too close, and dali stops anyone from trying to stop kalego or take the stupid home. After all, they're way safer in the school, so what's wrong with having them in the school for a few days?

[naehja]

Kirio: *admits that has tried to blow the school, and potentially kill everyone inside*

Kirio: *also admits that he got excited to see despair on his own face*

Teachers: where have we failed with this kid?

Also look Momonoki is horrified and angry, Orias is shocked and very disappointed and Dantalion is just fully shocked/disgusted, so much he can’t even even be angry.
