#the parallels in this webtoon make me feral btw

[a-man-in-the-crowd]

this scene was so oddly cute, monty actually taking the time to explain what he's yapping about is so funny 😭 every time monty is ebem mildly nice i laugh bc bro what are you doing you're freaking me out. and will's lil confused face

but yeah this was ALSO the scene that made me pause bc again i GENUINELY thought they knew each other, like i didn't even question it i just accepted it. monty and will using nicknames for each other is probably just another manifestation of monty trying to act like a friend with bare minimum effort (if anything it takes LESS effort to call william will so) and will probably took it as permission to call monty monty.

THE POTENTIAL THOUGH YOU'RE SO RIGHT. i'd write a fic about the concept if i had any actual ideas ngl, simply bc the concept fascinates me. like will?? being in this weird place?? if he ever had a roommate (i have doubts), he probably watched them die or sumn. all alone. and then in comes someone who looks familiar, and what else is he going to do but immediately attach himself to him?

oh yeah 'doppleganger simp' is hilarious btw, i wanna put that on a shirt

edit: and will gives major sheltered british boy vibes i said what i said. probably poor, based on his final meal. so. poor sheltered british boy vibes? 🤷‍♂️

this is a bit more on the random side, but when monty and will were first introduced, did anyone else get the immediate impression they knew each other when they were alive?

i think now there's plenty of reason to think otherwise but sometimes when i'm thinking about them i think back to their original debut.

when we first meet will it kinda seems like his name is a nickname, especially considering will refers to montresor with one as well (now, however, it seems will might actually be his name?? imagine being named will what a loser /j), they seem pretty close (they share a look when annabel's acting weird, some sort of non-verbal communication), will immediately laughs at monty's 'god-fearing gentleman' joke implying he knows better (which could've just been a case of will kissing monty's ass but yk). in general, they're introduced as a pair.

and it's not like we haven't seen characters who knew each other in their past lives — the two main characters' plotlines are revolved around this very concept — so i mean to me ig it made sense.

and ngl i'm still not fully discounting the idea they may have known each other in life, or known someone similar to each other in life, but like as we have them now i'm not so sure.
