[smerdulos]

I like monogatari

[sofosmiscelaneusart]

"I know everything"

[a-eo-iu]

All the icons I've drawn so far!

[justintaco]

Easily one of the top ten best adaptation choices in all of Monogatari is that they show Gaen Izuko literally has the series timeline on her phone and has to refer to it despite being omniscient

like yeah bitch me too

One of my absolute favorite things about Pizza Tower is Peppino going feral when he hits his top speed

ME WHEN I FUCKING GET YOU

[the-dragon-girl-27]

"I don't know everything, I just know what I know."

So Monogatari is back and nobody told me??????

Haven't watched the new season yet but cuz i'm in a Monogatari mood I drew Hanekawa

So Nadeko cuts her hair really short, (metaphorically) comes out, has a fight with her parents, and runs away from home to live on the dime of a suspiciously wealthy and well-connected older woman who inducts her into a secret underground society. If her parents cared enough to look into things it very much looks like Gaen is grooming her right?

oh god

You’re telling me if buddyfight wasn’t canceled we could’ve seen this?!

Shinobumonogatari episode 1 starts on Saturday!! Here are the preview images for the first episode of Shinobu Mustard/Mastered and a synopsis

"Araragi Koyomi is taken to the hospital by Gaen Izuko. What he saw there was a mummy lying on a bed."

Higasa's back! You might remember her as Kanbaru's friend from Hanamonogatari

[amaranthdahlia]

[corecamilo]

Gaen Izuko, One who knows everything

[a-eo-iu]

They were not close, especially not after becoming responsible for their own kingdoms, but they maintained good relationships, and hoped their descendants would as well

I wanna talk about specialists more and am coming to realize that aspects of oms are the opposite side and response to concepts from nise, I’ve never been the biggest into nise (as I’m not one who’s big into the fanservice, even though the other parts of the story are heartfelt and interesting it doesn’t strike a good balance for me always) however by considering later parts of the story it creates more implicit context that creates brainworms that are the kind of thing that gets you pacing around the room.

Like what do you mean that those previous snake charms were from uroko, what does it mean for kaiki to sell those charms in a broken state. If those charms are the real thing made fake then nadeko made the fake into the real thing. How does it feel to Gaen to see the rainy devil, or her sister’s daughter with the rainy devil. As a Gaen how does it feel to see someone escape that system of being a Gaen. Tooe passed that generational trauma to Suruga in that rainy devil hand but she didn’t really form an oddity similar to what that would be, not on her own at least, Araragi inherited that and made Ougi who isn’t even spiteful to her. She does have access to trauma ghosts but idk if that’s a full oddity thing. Did Nadeko indirectly get the Gaen family ability of manifestation via similar combos of mental illness and exposure to similar manifested curses? Nadeko the first one this generation to weaponize that power with generally lesser consequence.

Also

How did Kaiki survive the plane crash, did the end of koimono happen and he just got out there with a similar method? Everybody got curses from making a kid together (yotsugi). Kaiki and Meme are described as softer on kids than Kagenui or Gaen, untapped market of kid hating.

Much to think on much to consider

Kagenui is also enriched but the Gaen and kaiki narratives are like abysses you peak into
