It really solidifies his character in the beginning of the series - a suicidal man pushed to his limits from living too long. A man who hated life so much yet couldn't die.
It also shows his character development - how he accepted that, even if he can't have what he wanted, even if he had to continue living, he was okay with it. He was okay with doing what he hated, with not reaching death, if it meant being with Fuuko.
"Death being around the corner" meant that it felt as if he had returned to a state of despair that he had grown familiar with, back when he was alive without Fuuko.
He's basically saying she's the reason he is alive.
The fact that Fuuko's weapon of choice is a revolver, a historical American weapon, and Andy's is a katana, a historical Japanese weapon, just means that they're the realest of soulmates.
July 2023. TMM might be my childhood love, but Princess Tutu might be my favorite magical girl series. I will always tell anyone to give it a watch. (subbed, I have no idea what the dubbed English sounds like. But you do you!) I’ve always wanted to write a big long gushing review about it but I’d probably want to to watch it again first, hehe….
It’s been a long time since I did such a big illustration. I looked at this drawing for far too long and started to overthink everything. I’m really feeling how little foundation my color theory has since I never really properly learned it, so I had to get a lot of help from @dyemelikeasunset for this- bless their whole heart!!! 🥺❤️
I have made prints of this, but I still need to set up an online store. I’ll let everyone know when it’s available!
I’ve been screaming on Twitter all day because Hajime Ysayama FINALLY revealed the canon timeskip looks for Ymir and Bertholdt! And I’m blown away by their hairstyles! Ymir’s is unusual but it looks so good on her and Betholdt has a mullet?!🥹💜
I love her looks so much AAAH💜 lol I am kinda proud🙈
Just be thinking about Fuuko since I’m on the 14th volume of Udul and well I was considering possible endings for the series and realised that, hey, if Fuuko and Andy get out of this whole conundrum with their powers she would never be able to conceive or have children, not only because she can’t physical touch people skin on skin, but because even if she got artificially inseminated she couldn’t possible be able to conceive or give birth due to the child being a completely different being to her and having a soul of its own.
For example (this could potentially be some kind of spoiler so you’ve been warned. Don’t read ahead if you’re not ok with spoilers) but Nico and Ichico (a negator) had Mico and she doesn’t have any negator powers because that’s not how the negator powers work/are received. This means that Mico is a completely normal human.
Fuuko’s body would probably reject conception altogether (causing Unluck). The child wouldn't have any counteractive ability or way to deflect the Unluck. And even if (IF) some crazy miracle happened that would allow her to carry a child full term/have a safe delivery she wouldn’t be able to touch said child and have that skin on skin contact a mother and newborn child would have. And like how would they live normal lives? It’d be so easy to slip up ☹️.
Idk this info/thought has left me feeling hollow my guys 🫡 like poor girl couldn’t start a family unless the series somehow magically ends with them losing their powers and living normal lives but I feel like that lowkey won’t happen because that’s too easy.
