#so does the lamp

[vaguely-concerned]

just for fun this time during 'sea of blood' I counted out all the venatori corpses I think we can be pretty sure were lucanis' handiwork before we show up (not including the ones he kills in his initial cutscene, and with an assumption that he's been at work mainly up and down in the areas we move through until we find him, not behind the locked door -- I think that's mostly the work of rampaging undead and other venatori-hoisted-by-their-own-petard suchlikes). can thus happily inform you lucanis has killed at least 32 venatori before rook and company get there. at least one of them he's impaled on their own weird crystal spike things the venatori mages cast as an AOE attack and that they're trying to keep him contained with when we find him. so he's clearly been keeping busy lol. that's my boy dispensing poetic justice and claiming some enrichment in his enclosure while he's at it good for him!

Chapitre 223 - A Time of Happiness/Days of Happiness

OH! OH YES OK THE HAPPY AU CONTINUES. 

I was expecting that the previous chapter was all we were going to get from their happy ending so I’m very pleased to be wrong about that!

I am right there with the Magic Knight Rayearth girls doing the Umi face at our good fortune. HAPPY ENDING CONTINUES. 

And it’s GORGEOUS.

Though I'm also spotting the architecture in the bottom left, where the scene changes and I'm just like hmmm HMMMM

It's slightly different but it makes me think of the little snippets we saw of Lava Lamp's backstory - specifically here

PLEASE?

PLEASE CLAMP

Dew: "The biggest source of drama in the water ghoul community is whether or not it's okay to piss in the lake, and it's largely because no one wants to admit that they do it, so they have to act appalled when they find out someone else did." -looking out at the lake- "...I have to wonder how this all effects the pH of the water..." Rain, who was just in the lake, about to make a terrible pun: "Well, Dew, I would say there's a lot more 'P' than there is 'H'-"

okay this may be an unpopular opinion but i really don't care bc im just very annoyed lmao

the one huge criticism of malevolent that i have is tied to the reason the show is so impressive and that's the fact that harlan does all the voices.. because he does all the voices, the female characters that aren't elderly or monstrous can only be alluded to

but there are still female characters that hold significant importance that can only be mentioned of in passing , and one of them is, of course, nurse Lilly who was the first person to show john human compassion while arthur was in a coma

john consistently references how Lilly's kindness was so transformative for him that it was the start of how he genuinely changes his perspective and identity once arthur awakens,, BUT WE DONT GET TO SEE HER OR HEAR HER and it's a little annoying for john to constantly mention this time period and this nurse as something So Important, but everything happened off screen in season one

and like ?! idk !! from an audience (read: my) perspective he has been through more important and difficult things with Arthur and other characters... to keep coming back to Lilly, whom we never saw as like THEEEEE moment he learned humanity is starting to really drive me a little crazy

i GET that narratively john needs something other than arthur as exposure to the kindness of humans. as a character he needs more motivation than just one very flawed person that he cannot be separated from. but to hear john say he loves lilly in today's episode was so jarring to me !!

and maybe i'm at a disadvantage here. maybe because i started like a few weeks ago and i haven't been here from the jump, im missing some greater context for her character and what she represents in the overall story that can only come from knowing a story front-to-back for a couple years but fuck

had the most vivid dream the other night where a girl from hs was running up to me and confidently yelled “oi! lamp head! ive got news for you” and dream me was like yes. i am lamp head that is the name i respond to. and then i looked in the mirror and i was wearing a lampshade on top my head. the rest of the dream no one else mentioned the lampshade

Forever thinking about how Kearns is the actual funniest character like what do you mean he just killed that guy with his bare hands at the end after lulling him into a false sense of security sdfghjhgfd

Mission failed!

Doumeki was so distracted by the egg (which, like, me too) that he didn't finish his liquor fast enough, which lead Watanuki down a train of thought that only reminded him even more that Yuuko and Mokona are still gone with no trace of them ever coming back. 

COME ON DOUMEKI YOU CAN DO IT. DISTRACT HIM HARDER. 

I have a list of suggestions if that would help. 

All collected from Ao3. 

They seem very effective.

I… oh.

That’s absolutely not what I had in mind.

My Supernatual headcanon I'll fight over is that angels can't taste but archangels can HOWEVER they can't taste flavor. They can tell you if the item was sweet, sour, salty, bitter, etc, but they don't have the taste receptors for anything else.

I'd like yalls help w something, please

Regardless of its intelligence level, how many non-human creatures have Arthur and John had an emotionally positive experience with?bc I am wracking my brain and the only ones I can come up with are the lamp-eft, the buopoth, the cana, and the owl (I have yet to figure out if cana is a species or a job title but yall know who I'm talking about)

If anyone can fact-check/correct/update me on this I'd appreciate it so much 🙏
