cue me desperately hoping for a part 3 because i realized something

[ofgourmet]

shuu's little side comments to naki are the best and sweetest things ever

thanks for coming to my ted talk

[ofgourmet]

post canon shuu and nishiki are the typical depressed millennials. one will say “i want to be ran over by a bus” out of the blue and the other will go “oh worm?”

@rosybumblebee / i literally paused nier and turned on my laptop to answer this

nishiki: i want to dieshuu: bitch me too the fuck

or

shuu: i wish someone would break into my house and stab me, killing me instantlynishiki: me first wtf

akjshfkjkdsh but honestly tho they just want to survive and take naps and maybe enjoy life one (1) time a week, is that too much to ask? let them sip their coffee and wine and be depressed together in peace

edit: they have a biweekly hangout but it’s just staying in and drinking a little and talking and probably arguing a little bit but it’s cathartic and nostalgic and doesn’t really mean anything when it comes to Not Liking Each Other bc at this point they do, it’s just nice to have the normalcy

i'm soft

this writing is so lazy..... he just had the hets get together and have kids. that’s it. what the actual fuck

@gourmetbooty / i’m gonna actually tag the other blog this time

yeAH i’m mmmmmmmmmmmm

and i’m not even against nak*m*za or anything, really, they’re cute (even tho he’s never shown any interest in her but whatever), but i’m so mad about it given the context of everything else here. this chapter really was just “ha ha the hets won and get to have as many kids as they want”

instead of focusing on…. actual plot things?? obviously the full thing isn’t out yet so i’m holding out the smallest bit of hope that we’ll get one (1) good thing, maybe, but resolving the human/ghoul conflict so easily is. bad. i wouldn’t be such a Bitter Gay if there was actual conflict resolution happening here but!!! there really isn’t!!!

I've heard whisperings about a part 3 of the series. is there any credible source for that or is it speculation? also where do you think a part 3 would take us? because i'm a lame nerd who uhhh can't move on???

@makirado / oh big mood

so there’s no official confirmation or anything yet so for now it’s all speculation.

i’ll have a better idea of the likelihood once the actual chapter is out, but there are a few things about this “final chapter” that stick out to me as… odd? and possibly hint towards a part three. (note that some of these might change once the chapter is out but i’m going off of things that artie / @cxrtus has told me from his korean sites)

there is no mention of kaneki making it out of the underground so far

the name of the daughter is “maya,” which in sanskrit can mean “illusion” and also connects to hindu religion (much like the nagaraj/vasuki concepts we’ve already been introduced to)

this all feels…. too happy? not that i’m against a happy ending, but this in particular definitely feels very… fake? wishful? and unresolved. like this is a dream ending, of “wow, look at how nice things could be if things just resolved themselves like this.” like a farce, almost.

as for what a part three will entail, i’m very into the concept of kaneki being stuck underground within dragon once it’s turned into stone, and the three aces (hide, touka, and shuu) taking over as the protagonists in turn. it would probably focus on a. rescuing kaneki and uncovering the truth about the previous oek underground, and b. the human/ghoul alliance up on the surface.

kaneki’s arc is, effectively, over. he’s learned what he needs to learn. he’s grown how he needs to. he’s realized that the people around him matter, not just himself, so it would make sense for a part three to focus on these other people who surround and care about him and let their arcs be wrapped up nicely. if there is one, i don’t see it being particularly long, but i see kaneki really only being in it towards the end.

soft....

[ofgourmet]

wow i can’t believe banjou and shuu got married and work together as ghoul representatives and banjou’s kids (the gas mask trio) love mirumo, their adopted grandpa, so much

[ofgourmet]

what’s great* about shuu being fucked by canon is that i don’t have to worry about anyone trying to force ship!!

*it’s terrible give him a husband you absolute fucking fucks

[ofgourmet]

someone validate snake au blog as a concept i should do to keep this boy going

[ofgourmet]

anyways i'm writing a bantsuki fic about them working together and getting married tonight, thanks

[ofgourmet]

my money is on this being a dream sequence bc we haven't seen kaneki actually escape the underground as far as i'm aware, and the rest of this post was based on me remembering stuff wrong so ignore that, but still, damn.

[ofgourmet]

me, looking @ my dash: y'all are a bunch of coffee addicts, huh

y'all okay???

[ofgourmet]

the most fun, chaotic time is the week or two post-rushima and pre-goat, when papa, shuu, and chie all live in tycho's apartment building that's being lended to them w/ naki and his suits and miza

[ofgourmet]

blease let there be a part 3 w/ the three other aces as the protagonists i am begging

[ofgourmet]

oof i wrote this on its own and it's why post-canon shuu is ghosting on everyone except a very, very select few, fun fact
