obsessed with hoyoverse one-upping themselves every time they revisit Alhaitham and kaveh, they gave us a flashback of an intimate conversation in their home in cyno’s second story quest, and now we get a flashback of the two having a ‘private’ conversation in a ‘secluded’ place, where it’s casually dropped that kaveh programmed mehrak to recognise alhaitham’s voice ????

firstly, it’s very, um, INTERESTING that the flashback starts with a line which we have no context for, of kaveh stating that ‘we’ have more than a heartless, transactional relationship to alhaitham, presumably referring to him and Alhaitham. i feel like this lack of context is deliberate, as Alhaitham is the one to provide the context in the following line

this insinuation is !??!!? considering that kaveh has previously considered his and alhaitham’s relationship to be exactly that – a heartless, transactional relationship, in that he believed he owed Alhaitham something, and that Alhaitham expected something from him, when moving into alhaitham’s house

so personally I’m running with this line referring to mehrak, but also commenting on the progression of the relationship between Alhaitham and kaveh, I will make a more extensive post about this at some point!

But also this flashback scene provided us with apparently the very essential information that mehrak now recognises alhaitham’s voice <3

this is driving me a bit umm crazy actually!! Mehrak has been previously established as kaveh’s helper companion, and in his voice line he says that he hopes mehrak understands what he’s saying, which hints to his loneliness at the time he made it – after he moved into alhaitham’s house

and now we have a whole scene establishing how their relationship is not heartless, how kaveh feels terrible about having potentially driven it away from him, and ultimately how important mehrak is to kaveh, only for this to be followed by Alhaitham saying that he and mehrak have ‘met’, as if meeting a person, which to me establishes that he knows how mehrak is important to kaveh, and this culminates in Alhaitham letting kaveh program mehrak to recognise his voice

mehrak being emotionally significant to kaveh is being used to indicate the intimacy of Alhaitham and kaveh’s progressed relationship, as Alhaitham is the only other person whom mehrak recognises, and may even respond to – which highlights how important kaveh interprets the bond between him and Alhaitham to be

where kaveh used to be lonely, he now has integral bonds whom he allows himself to rely on, which corresponds to his understanding of a ‘home’

i'm actually going to cry.

maybe the reason Anya suddenly revealed her secret to Damian, of all people, is because she felt guilty about knowing his deep desire for familial love. he didn't mention it, but it was painfully obvious in the way he looked at her with this soft, sad smile:

anya is so strong. i would've cried and hugged him 😭

but lo and behold, anya wasn't so strong after all. after trying so hard to keep her ability a secret, she told damian anyway – and without hesitation too.

crying... this panel is everything to me

personally, what Anya did was equivalent to a hug. maybe she felt bad... maybe guilty... maybe she wanted him to feel less alone... maybe she pitied him... maybe she sympathized... or maybe she felt it was the right thing to do. but in her own way, she definitely did it to make him feel better and less alone :')

maybe i'm just yapping. but the two of them are so similar in so many ways. Damian despite being part of a real family longs for real connection. and Anya, despite loving her family so much, secretly wishes what they had was truly real – a family not held together by a mission or conveniences, but just that, a simple family. they both just want a home man

this chapter was perfect in so many ways. these kids make my heart hurt, and i'm so scared yet excited for what Endo has in store for the next arcs <3

RETURN TO MONKE (PUBERTY EDITION)

MK’s monkey form doesn’t feel right to me so i wanted to break up his transformation into stages. Maybe as he learns to accept that side of himself it becomes part of him, instead of changing between human and monkey randomly (which is probably painful). Love yourself, NOW!!!

[project-sekai-facts]

Admin are you ready for the lore drops that's gonna be happening once the VS World link drops all the chapters? Cause I saw a leak and have not recovered in the least cause of the answered question. Won't mention it here, but, yeah. This might be the most lore heavy Virtual Singer storyline in the entire game so far. Which makes sense. It'll probably answer a number of questions about probably the individual SEKAI or something

oh yeah i already read the entire story and will be summarising some of it tomorrow when the event is out officially. it was very good

btw talking about character reactions to bkg dying (i wrote the deku post several hours ago but shh) Aizawa :

The absolute disbelief on his face. And then the widening eyes. Horikoshi really had fun with that close up like my mans was really like nuh uh you are not ignoring Aizawa. The eyebrows? The wrinkles? The absolute panic and despair in this man's eyes? When he sees his student (one of the most promising and one of the best and one of the most reckless) dead on the floor?

And then the anger? The handhold, the grip on that other student that very much should not be here, that should be safe and not in the middle of a warzone with him, the panic and the sweat and the clenched jaw? I'm still and forever going insane

Buddy Daddies - Episode 12 - SPOILERS!! The Diner Nest

Let’s take a deeper look at Kazuki’s diner: Diner Nest.

First, the name comes from his last name, which is a combination of the kanji for ��� (kuru  - come) and 栖 (su - nest). Another thing to note its interior:

You can tell Kazuki decorated this place. It really fits his style:

Brick, the same type of green overhead lamp, stools, similar types of posters, there are also things like the yellow chairs and plant, which fit with the living room part of their apartment back in Fukuoka. Even the smaller white lights in his apartment room look similar to the larger white lights he has in the diner.

Now, let’s look at the location of Diner Nest. As I mentioned above, there apartment was “back” in Fukuoka, because I’m fairly sure that they are living in Okinawa now. That makes sense. Once Miri was done with daycare, they likely moved. Not only because it was probably safer, but also because it allows for a proper “fresh start.” Also, they wouldn’t be located in the red light district anymore.

While the beach and palm trees are good indicators of them being in Okinawa, an even bigger one, imo, is the use of English everywhere in their establishment and their establishment being a diner. Now, English is often used in Japan, for tourism and because it can look cool. But, Diner Nest has it...absolutely everywhere:

The sign on the door says “OPEN” and “CLOSED,” the blackboard sign inside looks to be written completely in English. That doesn’t look like Japanese at all. On the windows we see “Have A Grateful Day” and something involving coffee. 

The mat says, “WELCOME,” and the sign inside the plant has Diner Nest on the top and then what looks like English writing underneath it. 

And the fact that their restaurant is specifically a diner is also important too for why they are likely in Okinawa. Diners originated in America, specifically Rhode Island, and they sell American style food, coffee, and so forth. We see this with the meal Rei gives to Miri (and with the window saying Coffee).

There’s definitely a Japanese flare to the presentation, but the food is all stuff you’d find at an American diner for sure. And, of course, of all this leads back to the fact that there are a lot of American military bases in Okinawa.

32 to be exact. So, their diner being in Okinawa makes sense, because it is a restaurant style that appeals to the Americans and the main language (written-wise) in the restaurant is English, all of which would appeal to the Americans living nearby at the bases (and which would have varying degrees of Japanese language ability).
