Killing me that Mitsuba and Kou should just be two teenagers who get up to dumb shenanigans as they stumble around things they want to say to each other and awkwardly show affection

but have been cursed to be doomed by the narrative no matter what timeline

I honestly don't think lucanis would have gotten much gentler training than most of the other crows -- if anything I expect he got more direct and intensely focused/constant attention on and control exerted over him than most of them might, since caterina has so much bound up in him both emotionally, politically and (ultimately, as the case always is with the crows lol) financially. she does not seem the type to as it were risk spoiling the sole viable heir by sparing the rod (derogatory). she has too much on the line here leave stuff like that to chance. where the 'first talon's favourite kid' privileges DO likely enter into it for me is that he can every so often make the move to spare a target based in nothing but his own conscience and not be killed for it himself.

which also has me wondering like... did caterina know she was sending him to kill a child, with that one target he mentions to davrin? or was it a surprise to her too? from what he says, she is the one who picks the contracts for him. was that contract how she realized there are things she could ask him to do, uses she could try to put him to, that would just break him (which would be such a waste at this point she's invested so many years and so much of herself in this knife that rests perfectly in her hand)? was it a test?? did it turn into a test both ways??? did lucanis know she wouldn't have him killed for refusing to do it, or is that one of the few times he came back and looked her in the eye to see what she would do, as the closest he's ever gotten to actually telling her 'no'???? 'you have every right to kill me for it, but this is one thing I can't do for you' with his hands not dripping with blood... and for whatever reason or set of reasons you might choose to believe, she doesn't kill him. what an absolutely nuts relationship this is

(how does illario feel watching that go down. knowing lucanis can gamble on love or sunk cost logic or whatever it is that stays her hand to hold on to having a soul, while illario could surrender his whole soul unquestioningly every time to her and still not have the love.)

Saw a twitter post about Near and L with the "do I look like him?" caption and it got me to feel so viscerally sad because... he does. He does look like L. The similarities are so uncanny that, had I not known they're not related, I would have guessed they are. And not just appearance too... some of his mannerisms, the way he speaks and reasons... all of Near is haunted by the traces of a man he has never even met.

It's not really surprising: he was groomed by Wammy's to be just like L. He never really rejected that notion, either; he just embraced it as something that has always been part of him, because how could he refuse something that was there from the beginning? He was just a kid. A very young one at that.

But someone who did reject that was Mello. Or, rather, he felt rejected by that system, so he turned his back on it -- at least partially. The effects of it are still felt even in its rejection - his visceral hatred of Near being a lampant example. But I wonder if that rejection, that search for individuality, is what made Near so endeared to Mello in spite of the other very openly hating him.

Mello became his own person and Near, forever bound to be one of two parts of L, admired that. Because he couldn't do it.

Big day for annoying people [me]

the biggest thing I've seen people question about the love trio is the dynamic was always kinda lacking azz/clara chemistry but this arc grabs ur hand and then gently smacks u around and says no!! they all love each other on purpose!! its not just distinctly iruma/azz and iruma/clara in this trio

Azz and Clara bicker and fight but this arc shows that they do that But it's not mutually exclusive with them being soulmates

And!! The most important part of their soulmate bond [which is their clashing personalities] is what ultimately created an equal playing field for them to actually talk one on one, as iruma proved in previous chapters that blind love and devotion to another means u end up in situations where ur voice isn't heard [clara hearing that iruma would love her no matter what means that anything he wanted to say was drowned out by her immediate actions to reshackle and store him away bc in her mind he'd still love her regardless]

Yea azz hit her with many complaints and insults but in this arc that was also the first time that clara had a real back and forth talk w iruma/azz as she had previous just left them chained for safe keeping in her toy box and didn't listen to any of their dissents to the idea of being trapped away forever, not til azz was direct and grounded her back into reality

They make me insane oh my god, there's probably one more followup chapter and I'm gonna get Worse
