tbhk manga is not for the weak guys.

hananene make me so indescribably violently ill in the best way possible, like i literally cant even put into words how painful their fuckass “doomed in every alternate timeline” trope is, along with how much i love them.

the autistic urge to just… SQUEEZE THEM LIKE A STRESS BALL AND THROW THEM DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS FOR MAKING ME GO THRU ANOTHER HEARTBREAK

just something about the juxtaposition between the arcobaleno pacifiers and the weight they carry.

how something thats supposed to be so innocent, something thats supposed to soothe a baby's pain when they're teething (or smtg lol, i dont want kids and never will :p); became something that "balances," "guides," the world.

its never explained why the pacifiers turn its holders infantile, most probably to lessen the strain of holding it (or even more probably because KHR started as a gag manga, and they needed a way to explain Reborn)

something that was meant to soothe, now serving as a physical reminder of what the arcobaleno were turned into. its almost a mockery, something so ironic that you cant help but laugh; it did soothe, yes, by lessening the strain. but when being the cause of such weight, well. thats when it become a mockery (:

idk. i just. i like the arcobaleno a lot. my writers brain only thinks of angst. and. yeah.

Wow. I am reeling unexpectedly hard from the RT news

I can’t say I didn’t see the writing on the wall, especially after they cancelled RTX but… jeez I’m a lot sadder than I thought I would be

That was a huge chunk of my childhood, something I loved, something I shared with my sisters, and now it’s gone I’m a lot more upset than I thought I would be

Something tells me you have feelings and thoughts about Dungeon Meshi. Like the reframing of Senshis desire to feed the "kids" as trauma from himself and so much more?

Also Senshi's/all dwarfs tendency to sit down whenever arriving somewhere maybe being familiar and relatable!

I wish to hear your thoughts (or just screaming) and chat about Dungeon Meshi!!

SENSHIIIIIII!!!!!!! I just, love him, so much, he wants those he is around to be well fed first and foremost and at home / as comfortable as possible secondmost just ;-; get me! Emotional!!

When I read the part where he talks about how he came to living in the dungeon just had me weeping, the very last thing the leader, who made sure to try and make everyone feel as calm as possible in the horrific event that is happening to them, and to make sure Senshi is not just eating well but thinking about how he is young and growing and how important Senshi is for everyone even if he’s the only one who knows that.

AND THEN!!!!!!! THERES THE END PART THAT FEELS LIKE ALL THE OXEGYN IN THE ENTIRE PLANET HAS LEFT AND YOURE READING ABOUT THE HORRORS OF BEING THE LAST MAN STANDING WHO HAS POSSIBLY EATEN A TRAVELING COMPANION OF YOURS!!!!!!!!

AND LAIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THE BACKBONE!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS THERE AND MAYBE WORRIED A TIME OR TWO BUT HE KNOWS TOO MUCH ABOUT THESE MONSTERS THAT ONCE HE FINDS THE CONNECTION TO WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!! All the oxygen comes back and Senshi is crying and so Am I cause Holy Shit Holy Shit Holy Shit

That whole scene made me love Senshi a billion times more and just cements in my mind that this group cannot be separated ever ;-; he just Needs to Feed those he cares for and he Cares So So So Much about Everyone ;-;

INT - my shitty dorm room

I sit at my desk, staring at my black computer screen. The last episode of Jujutsu Kaisen has just finished.

ME: what... what.. what...... what.... what..... what...... what... what..... what...... wha-

new berserk chapter and god could this manga be any more misogynistic. casca is a dress up doll (has been for the last twenty years) that has silent tears rolling down her cheeks and sexily wonders when will the knight rescue her. and of course we see her naked body for the 34973894 time in the series. this woman has never been allowed rage, agency, suffering, she has only been something to display, something for the boys to fight over.

ive realized adhd makes it very hard for me to watch shows with real people bcus the pacing has to be realistic and i crave dopamine

it's a bit of a daunting task to put down my thoughts about break's existence as a child of ill omen and his relationship to the intention of the abyss and making it comprehensible for people who haven't read the manga, but i've been going insane about it for the better part of the day, so here's my best attempt at doing just that. strap in, folks!

first, to put down a few basic definitions and rules in canon; the world that pandora hearts takes place in was created by a deity called jury. this includes the two main set pieces of the manga, the abyss and the material world. the abyss is the origin for the entirety of the story in ph, embodying the universe it takes place in.

jury, the deity of all of this, is part of a kind of people that observe all the different dimensions as "stories" to be preserved in the "library" of the great beyond. reality is not reality to them, it's a "tale" that eventually needs to come to an "end", usually throughout a hundred year cycle.

to come to this end, jury created the role of "glen baskerville", the head of the baskerville clan. glen's sole role is to end the story the way jury's kind envisioned it.

however, presumably outside of jury's control, the abyss gained consciousness. the core of the abyss is the personification of the abyss, the blueprint of the world at large. she's a deity, similar to jury, but since her ultimate goal is to live— she's a thorn in their side. jury's kind worked to keep her contained within abyss, since she wasn't following the narrative they wanted.

so, the core created the children of ill omen. they are her counterpart to glen, entirely outside of the influence of both jury and glen, able to interact with her freely. they were created out of the simple desire for connection, for freedom, for life and love.

break is just that. and it just tears me up, the origin of how he was created, how jury's influence warped his surroundings, and how the death of the sinclair family ultimately turned him to the exact opposite purpose.

jury couldn't allow this, of course. the "story" already had an "end", and this was not how it's supposed to go. so, jury's kind starts telling the baskerville family that only glen is allowed to interact with the abyss, and that children of ill omen are heretical for their ability to do so, as well. a tradition is created— for each glen, his counterpart is eventually executed by glen himself, to keep the order of the abyss.

through her loneliness and grief at losing her children, the core of the abyss ultimately possessed the body of a little girl, desperate for companionship. the little girl, alyss, is then dubbed the intention of the abyss for her role as the core's bodily form.

this is who break meets, when he's thrown into the abyss. this is who he talks to, trying to change the past, trying to get the sinclair family back. his creator, but not quite, a little girl holding a deity that's too large for her to comprehend, to handle, to live with. alyss is unhappy, alyss is confused, alyss is tired and sad and so very young.

she changes the past for him. not in the way he wants her to, but she does. and in exchange, she asks him to kill her. she doesn't want to be the intention anymore. she's lonely. (the core. the intention. she's alone, she's always been alone, she wants to be free.)

and at first, he's angry. his family is still dead. somebody who was supposed to live didn't. he's failed. but with time, he adjusts. he accepts the task he was given, he clings to it in his despair to find a purpose. (companionship is his purpose. to be the core's friend, to be the core's company.) he gives his life in order to make the intention's wish come true, to free her from the core's possession.

the core made him to save her, and he tries. but not in the way he was intended to. he wields a chain made specifically for him, able to destroy the abyss' powers. he acts selfish in his goals, but those goals remain selfless in intent. something about turning back on the narrative, you know? he was made for companionship. he's surrounded by it. he has family, he has friends, he has people that love him so much, through everything. and still, he sticks to it.

he kills himself in his effort to free the intention. the young girl, the innocent byproduct of the "story". the core, his creator, his origin. to give her the opportunity for companionship. to give her the freedom he was supposed to give her from the very beginning. staying in his role, abandoning it at the same time.

the abyss is the story itself, and break is a child of it, born from loneliness. he sees its light, even when he loses all sight. he is the story, come alive, changing the narrative.
