You know, with the release of the new chapter, there are funny details. I noticed that people who looks most relax in such bloody game are Businesswoman Zaoin and oddly enough, Toto. And lol I guess Zaoin has a lot of experience in this bc she head of a large company but still I was surprised by that.

For Toto, well Toto is one of the few who apparently slept well + was able to fall asleep at all, because he got up almost later than everyone else.

And like, I thought that Toto was just used to such games (he is Ron’s partner after all), but it bothers me that the same Ron and Amamiya couldn’t sleep and were clearly nervous. Which I can't say about Toto. Amamiya, who is older and more experienced than Toto, still doesn't feel comfortable enough to rest.

Idk maybe Toto has more tough nerves, or better hides his lack of sleep, but this contrast is clearly noticeable. (Maybe it's just my imagination lmao)

Heya!!!! You are back ! Thank you for dropping by again.

Toto and sleeping.

Hmm… it is interesting bc in the early days of his acquaintance with Ron, he had known not to sleep for days when there was a case. His frayed nerves made him awake for days bc he had to solve the puzzle. Ron recognised that he and Toto were the same. Thing is Toto breaks down after three straight days of being awake.

It is amazing bc he seems to be alert and focused after the damning realisation that Alice has set them up already for the final game together with the other players. I mean, I am still holding on to that delusion that Toto is “not what he seems to be.” But, I’d probably just be reaching for stars.

Anyway, Ms Businesswoman Zaion seems to be taking it lightly. The same with the student. Li Koki.

But maybe, just maybe, Toto also remembers what Ron has told him that he must find the way to calm his nerves if he wants to solve the case.

Anyway, interesting observation. It makes me poke around more.

You’re one of the only one of my mutuals (that I know of) who’s a Holmes fan. I was curious if you ever saw Elementary and what your thoughts on it were? I’ve been rewatching it recently since the entire series is now on Hulu and I was never able to finish it when it aired bc of all the nonsense that went on the last couple seasons.

I personally never liked BBC Sherlock (I won’t go into it here), but I did overall enjoy how Elementary brought Holmes and his world into the modern age, and I especially liked Jonny Lee Miller’s portrayal of Sherlock.

Anyway, I was curious.

Heya! I saw a couple of episodes of Elementary. But it didn’t really register with me. You’ve guessed it I was and sometimes still am a fan of Sherlock BBC.

Although they gender-bent Dr. Watson and Moriarty, the concept didn’t appeal to me.

I don’t know why. For a while I wanted to watch the Elementary episodes on Prime Amazon until I forgot and the episodes were no longer available anymore.

The BBC version for me personifies the modern version of what should be SH and JW are. The series could have been better if not for the ego of the show runners.

Apologies I don’t have any opinion on Elementary.

If Crocodile has a bad hair day...does it look like Rock's hair? Sticking up uncontrollably??? Obviously in a AU Crocodile is Rock's kid.

The D. trait these two share is gravity defying hair.

Dinner time! 🔪

Lucian is actually knows how to cook. He was poor most of his life so he mostly cooked simple dishes (or very specific ones). In recent years, he could afford to completely relax and hardly cook at all, so now any complex recipe leads to disaster (and drama).

Shadow Freddy is in the movie?

Yes they are! Max the babysitter is seen stuffed into a shadow Freddy suit near the end of the movie

So in return, it’s fair to say she’s Shadow Freddy

Hi quick question about the host au

Does lila think marinette is being legit haunted?

Because for some reason i could see host tikkis powers (which i think act up with high emotions because of that one post in the manynette au) acting up around her out of anger

yup. I actually have a chunk of fanfic written up for the AU that really goes into it, that I never finished nor posted, and now I'm considering posting it as a standalone just for fun

my roommate @latr1nal1a and i were discussing this scene in s1ep3 where petey is talking to mark in his basement

he mentions a department that no one has been to before. a department where you aren't allowed to LEAVE.

he is CLEARLY talking about the testing floor, where they are keeping gemma!!!! she isn't allowed to leave!!!!!!

so. this has been established. petey somehow stumbled across the testing floor. which then means that he knows about the exports hall............

a big question i've had the entire time while watching this show is how the FUCK does outie irving know about the exports hall. it's the kind of information that only an innie could know, and clearly innie irving had no clue about it until the OTC when he saw all the paintings.

so. how does outie irving know? who told him?

my leading theory so far was that reghabi was irving's contact. she seems to be the one with the most knowledge about the things going on inside lumon, so it would make sense that she would be working with irving.

HOWEVER, now that we've realized that PETEY knows about the testing floor.............who's to say it wasn't petey who told irving about the hallway? having been reintegrated, petey would probably have sought out irving as well!

let's go back to the message outie irving leaves over the phone in s2ep2

"you're not picking up. i get it."

whoever irving is calling, they HAVENT BEEN ANSWERING.

guys. i genuinely believe that PETEY might be irving's contact on the outside, and the reason he hasn't been able to contact him is because irving has no idea that petey died!!!!!

that's how irving knows about the exports hall.

Are you also a sucker for when Derek calls Stiles by his legal name? Stiles calling him sourwolf and Derek being the only one besides his dad to be able to pronounce his name correctly. That Derek probably spent time trying to learn it and repeat it over and over to himself before he felt confident enough to say it in front of him.

I don't necessarily care for Derek calling Stiles his real name, because Derek knowing it is enough of a sentiment. I mean, Stiles keeps his name a secret because no one can pronounce it right aside from his mom, and kids made fun of it his entire childhood, so he protects it fiercely because it matters to him.

Derek gets to know it one day, not because he finds out, but because Stiles tells him. It's a sign of deep trust, of vulnerability, and yearning for someone to understand him. And Derek gets it because of course he does.

Derek learns how to pronounce it properly so it would slide off his tongue as if he was a native speaker. And after that, he keeps Stiles' name a secret as well

I see your old man Tech. And I raise you, Tech and Phee together.

Ohhh challenge accepted! They’re just having a nice relaxing afternoon on Pabu enjoying the sun and being alive and happy and old together. Perhaps they just got back from an adventure?

Toto needs to visit Therapist.

To answer the question, yes, I think Toto has an extremely unhealthy tendency to sacrifice himself. I guess it stems from his low self-esteem. When I look at Toto's many actions in terms of saving people, to me it seems like more than just a desire to solve cases.

Because the desire to solve cases was there even before Ron. And for some reason, most of Toto's actions on his subconscious level are connected with self-harm in some way. Like, his instant reaction, regardless of his instincts for self-preservation, must come from somewhere, and the very fact that at the sight of danger, his feelings aimed at saving himself fade away in the name of others, it's kinda bad.

His actions, to one degree or another, despite saving others and good intentions, are equally aimed to self- distraction.

Toto never care about himself ( I'm talking about his thoughts about himself) This is probably most clearly seen during the cruise arc. When he was tied up, put to sleep and the first thing when he wakes up in his head was about Ron. But Not about even one thought about himself.

To me, this is a giant red flag that something is wrong. Considering Toto's habit of overworking himself to be useful as shown in the early chapters where he literally sleeps in his office. Moreover, his lack of any social life, and active workaholism, to help others BUT not himself. This screams that he has an unhealthy way of thinking where he puts himself last, above everyone else. He is ready to buy his grandmother something expensive, but as can be seen in the 1st case about the hot springs, he mainly relies on his salary. And this could be attributed to his kindness and good qualities, but it simply screams of a broken psyche. There is no healthy egoism in him. And well this is bad.

Also recalling our discussion about his upbringing, Toto was taught not to show much emotion in public.

However, in my opinion, sometimes all this stupidity seems very much like a fake, and his true personality is what we saw in his neutral frames. Well, I don’t believe that it’s not fake when one second he just looks blankly at the mention of Kei, and the next he’s already laughing.

And the fact that he and Ron don’t have the healthiest relationship (This is strictly how I see them and I'm not saying that they are bad) is a topic for a separate post.

Also lmao now i have my own tag there! 🤣 It feels like we're on a show or at an interview. 🤭

Ah, that’s an interesting take.

I mean Toto doesn’t have a lot of friends. And he’s probably damaged too for all we know. With the emergence of Ron he has something to live for. And it might be that he is fighting with and for Ron to hell with his own life, yeah, might not sound healthy, and it could destroy him once Ron decides to leave him, but I don’t think AA is so heartless to put Toto in this situation. Apart from each other they have accumulated other friends too along the way. So maybe, just maybe it would not come to this.

Heh! Created a hashtag for you. 😊

I just wanted to thank you for always posting the “behind the scenes” kinds of things for kuro and other media, like the stuff for the new anime you shared today. I would miss a lot of this if it wasn’t for you and I appreciate it a lot <3

Ohhhh… thank you for this. I love to look at pretty things, but I also would like to know the reasons behind those things. Kuroshitsuji, for example, has so many important facts (historical or otherwise) and so many creative people behind the series. It would be cruel not to mention them as well and other fan-related things.

It is so lovely to receive this from you. (Was feeling depressed before tbh.)

I feel like Law, who is extremely Cora-obsessed, would flat-out turn down any knowledge Crocodile had on the guy in fear he would learn something scarring XD Or learn something yucky about Doffy in the process

Crocodile's comment is based on this ask! ;D
