Something that completely flew over my head (I am not very observant), I was rereading chapter 87: Winged Lion II to re-check some things about dungeons and I just now realized the ancient humans weren't from the current races we know.

They seem to have characteristics from several of the human races together, and some of them even seem to have fur (like demi-humans?)

It's even implied that the lifespan differences and physical differences (the two asking for muscles and using magic in the background) were due to the Demon granting wishes

I did notice this part but I didn't realize this was probably part of the source of the race differences rather than the races already being different and wishing for different things.

So at some point the human races might have been even more closely related, before a powerful being influenced their evolution.

This is kinda worded a little poorly maybe but whatever.

Jerry asks “you’re crying from Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective?” George looks sad and responds “the undying unyielding stubborn love and dedication pets can have for their people and the people never fully knowing how much their pets love them got to me.” Jerry responds “all right.” End ID.]

Respectless- Velvette, Carmilla, and teensy bit of Zestial

Last thing I'll post or else I'll end up just spoiling the whole eps x3 I highly implore watching the first four eps before giving a judgement. The show beyond exceeded my expectations!

I've talked once before about how Xeno needs Stan yet holds him back, but today I want to look at how much Stan's presence is also a detriment to Xeno and how his dependence on him leads to aggressive and (frankly) self destructive behavior.

Stanley is very put together, strategic, and calm until Xeno is taken away from him. While everyone else understood that Xeno wasn't in any real danger, and Stan out of everyone knew the connection of mentor / mentee guaranteed a safe and even healthy and stimulating environment for Xeno, he still snapped.

He immediately lost composure and fell for the stupid medusa trick, letting them pass unharmed. He made brash decisions when trying to take Xeno back, and eventually lashed out and murdered everyone with more force and violence than necessary to get him back.

Because of all this, I always see Xeno as an anchoring stone for Stan. And I like to imagine that they both see Stan as an emotional anchor for Xeno, even though, historically, he very much is not

Stan allows Xeno to tip into the dictator mindset and feeds into that wish. He would kill anyone who gets in his way and will hold Xeno on a pedestal, away from everyone who has hurt or undermined him, only further allowing the detrimental mindset of "us vs them" to grow and separate him more. Honestly, Stan doesn't notice it, but his presence in Xeno’s life is largely a bad thing. Instead of letting Xeno vent his frustrations in a healthy way, then return to humanity as a part of it, he allows the disillusion of being the only person able to lead the world to fester in his mind. Stanley is an enabler of sorts, allowing Xeno to check out from reality and from the consequences of his actions.

It isn't until Xeno is forced to live without him and strike his own balance in the KOS that his mentality changes. He softens again, finds faith and hope in humanity and creates lasting relationships with others who value science and truth just like him.

This is further proven when the people he's closest to in the Kingdom of Science go missing and he immediately starts to revert back to the mentality of "us vs them" when dealing with others. That same mentality crept up when he addressed the scientific committee and it was GEN who stopped and calmed him where Stan was content to stand back and allow his brash action to continue.

Their relationship can be seen as fairly simple and straight forward, even sweet at first glance. But the more one looks at it, the more layers of toxicity reveal themselves. There's always something new to focus on.

My post about chapter 67 got some notes and I was reminded that in the final manga version they removed Laios' smile and added the cloth he uses to suffocate her to the page :(

It's really disappointing cause it just flows better with the smile right before his expression changes as he goes for it, the shock of the sudden tone shift from one panel to the other is lost with the hint of the cloth and the weird expression they gave him :/

I wonder why this change was made, maybe people were put off by him smiling right before doing something so ruthless? To me this just made his character more interesting I never thought it was strange (after all this IS an act of love), does anyone know why it was changed?

Major Spoilers for Chapter 4 of Poppy Playtime!

Poppy's thirst for vengeance backfired triply so. We all knew Ollie was suspicious as fuck and he shouldn't be trusted. Same goes for Ms Playtime considering the shit the Player character went through in Chapter 2.

Blowing the foundation skyhigh would kill everyone left inside the factory. The ground is very hollow as Playtime Co. continued drilling into the earth. If her plan did succeed then it wouldn't take long for the weight of the ruins come down on everyone's heads.

Her actions led to the Prototype killing everyone in Safe Haven with those very explosives and the Player forced to kill a berserk Doey. In one fell swoop, Poppy took out almost all of her allies. Now Kissy might actually be dead and Huggy is gunning for the main character's throat.

The fact Doey could have left but stayed behind to care about the toys still stuck in the factory... Chapter 4 completely centered around morality from start to finish. The severe lack of it from Doctor, Prototype, and Poppy proves how dangerous it will be for everyone around them.

Edit: Since people are misreading this. I didn't mention the Player character for a reason. There's a difference between a lack of morals and twisted ones.

Our Player character returned to the factory for someone who ISN'T the toys. To them, the end goal is the orphans. Killing any toys might be seen as liberating their souls from their toy prison.

Poppy doesn't care about who gets caught in the crossfire when it involves her agenda. She's a vengeful coward to put it simply. The Player is an ex-employee who had to be high enough in the food chain for the toys to recognize them.

Destroying the hell their ex-employers seems to line up in with them. Even if there's casualties in the form of innocent toys. To the Player, it's better to be dead than live as a monster no one would accept.
