#look I love the childhood friends to war criminals pipeline

[amipenthe]

It’s such a small thing but one narrative detail I love about d gray man is that (assuming cross and lavi aren’t the same person lol) post-Neah’s death Lavi was sent to take care of pasta and Cross was sent to take care of Mana. It’s such a calculated and interesting decision on Neah’s part. It also makes me wonder how well lavi and cross even knew each other.

We’ve been headcanoning for years the third side lads were all close, but that seems to be far from the case. Pasta was a rando, Lavi and Cross don’t seem to know each other well (Cross has only ever spoken about Mana and Neah and the host. He didn’t know who the host was and never mentions or thinks of Lavi period point blank. Their relationship seems to be, “the former bookman jr who was protecting the host is gone and now I got to find the host myself.”) Heck, currently it doesn’t seem like Lavi knows that terribly much about Mana which is so interesting since Mana is the reason the third side exists in the first place. It’s different than what we expected, but an interesting and more realistic narrative choice that the third side was likely composed of strangers with different self-interests running towards Neah’s goal.

Also, it makes the relationship dynamics of the third side way more interesting and complicated than the whole childhood friends forced into war bit.

Especially because that means everybody knows different things about what happened 35 years ago. No one, not even Nea, knows the full picture.

Awful Characters Round 4 (1/4)

Propaganda under the cut!

IANTHE TRIDENTARIUS

Her number one hobby is ruining every person's that she knows life. Her second hobby is being soooo slutty about it despite looking like a literal wet rat. Her third hobby is having an extremely unhealthy relationship with her twin. Her other hobbies include cannibalism, wearing a maid outfit, being extremely convinced she is the main character, the badboy sexy love interest and the villain. 'Why', you may ask. Well, the answer is, for shits and giggles #justgirlythings i, aswell as literally everybody else in the fandom have gone through the pipeline from hating her to desperately wanting to fuck her. expect for i still fucking hope she dies and doesn't come back for good. (that would literally solve all of everybody's problems) as god intended (EXPECT FOR. one of her hobbies literally is gaslighting god) She is fucking horrible i will love her until i die and even after that

parks and recs jean ralphio voice she's the woooorst!! The moment she learns she has to kill someone to become a Lyctor (aka a more special necromancer), she doesn't hesitate to kill and cannibalize the guy who has been her cavalier since childhood… cavalier who she also totally bullied as kids, she was allowed to choose one guest for her and her twin sister's birthday party each year, and she would always pick whoever she thought her cavalier didn't want to see there! While other characters are shown to regret the process of becoming a Lyctor (which involves someone close to them dying)/were forced into it because of circumstances, Ianthe has absolutely no regrets, she believes she did what she had to do

The author once said of Ianthe: "I don't think she's been nice to anyone, if she has I'll go back and change it." She killed and ate the soul of someone she has known all her life so that she could become a necromantic saint and tormented him plenty before that. General negging, ganging up against him, always inviting people he didn't like to their birthday parties. She doesn't regret killing him. I think she is repulsed by the idea that his digested soul is affecting hers. She helped her crush lobotomise herself so she would be in Ianthe's debt, and later lied and said she didn't see the corpse of a woman her crush killed under her bed (why did she do that? I do not know). She has a bone arm because her original arm was cut off, she hated the replacement so her crush cut THAT off and grew her a new one out of just bones. She had it gilded and only after that did she decide to help her crush deal with the person who had been repeatedly trying to kill her. She wants so badly to be the main character but people keep interrupting her villain monologues.

she has her own content warning tag

She's such a bitch to everyone all the time, she causes nothing but problems, she tries to do a villain speech but fumbles it because her tummy hurt, she is the awfulgirl of all time

WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE 💛AMPHIBIA SHIP 💛SAYS ABOUT YOU

Marcanne: you deserve a medal because right now you’re so starved for content, you’re one mental breakdown away from watching ‘Marcy at the gates’ for the millionth time. Also you’re in love with your best friend. Also most likely someone who copes by reading fan-fiction . You’re really sweet and a romantic at heart.

Sashanne: The She-Ra to literally any other fandom with a ship that remotely matches catradora pipeline is real. Y’all didn’t know what to do after May 2020 and it shows. Anyways you are absolutely thriving with all the sashanne content lately. You love a good enemies to lovers and tbh who doesn’t.

Sasharcy: You’re literally the coolest person ever, you saw their minimal screen time and said fuck it they’re my new otp and you’re right. They have criminally little screen time together and you want more and you deserve it . Also you had this one friend or classmate who you weren’t that close with but you had the biggest crush on them. Y’all made eye contact a couple times several years ago and you still think about it to this day.

Sashannarcy: may I please take your coat and escort you to a private dining room where a banquet is awaiting you. You have excellent taste truly superb. Why have shipping wars when the solution is clearly polyamory. You’re super fun to be around. your friends probably mean the world to you. You deserve nothing but the best.

Sprivy: Yea if you don’t ship this I don’t trust you .

It’s a must ship. You long for a childhood sweethearts love story,you like to keep your relationships fun. If you’re not single you’re probably in a long term relationship. You’re that couple that everyone is jealous of but remember relationships aren’t everything, look after yourself and your family/ friends too.

Yulivia: GAY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY !

it doesn’t get gayer than this. I just know you have the best otps. But I’m sorry to say mommy issues are likely present in your life, you probably kin Marcy and desperately wants yulivia to adopt you . You have major anxiety right now over what what happened after ‘Olivia and Yunan’. You are desperately counting the days until you see them again. Also your favourite relationship dynamic is the posh and slightly highstrung and the impulsive buff one.*cough* caitvi *cough*

(Just jokes don’t take it too seriously , but I’m really just calling myself out with all of these)
