WHY has no one talked about these panels. fuck it its 12 am (at the time of me "finishing" (<- not even close) writing this, its nearly 2 am) im going to talk about them
ahem.
before i get to the Main Point i wanna discuss chils tendency to spiral into his thoughts
like, sure, yeah, he's a reasonable guy. real logical-- but he tends to rush through so many possibilities and in this scene even berates himself for his tiny mistake. every thought in this scene goes so fast to me here, just "snap snap snap, call for help, no thatll attract too much attention- wait is there a switch? crap its too far away- nevermind lets just wait for marcille- but can i trust her with that?? god im so stupid, am i just gonna be trapped here until morning???" and it takes a moment for him to stabilise and snap out of it
like... he even has a little pep talk about it
i guess you could take this as him merely being a quick thinker? but i highly doubt it -- look at this fucking guy.
anyways. hes always got to be eased out of it one way or another, whether that be complainerism (self-explanatory), strategising with another person (that way all the insecure thoughts get pushed to the back in favour of working together), reassuring himself (discussed above) or...
you. could.
distract him.
place a brick wall in front of that zooming train of thought and watch it crash and burn :)
he doesnt even respond in that first pic, by the way. in fact, he doesnt say anything for another 3 (and a bit) pages, and by then the topic has been safely switched (granted those three pages are just marcille and laios making the familiars, but i feel it still stands that there was no response at all, not even visually)
secondly, in that other instance -- see how his eyes go wide as saucers when contact is made? and how they turn into pinpricks once he looks back**? god. and. like.
oh. fuck. ive gottta continue this in a reblog since ive reached the picture limit on mobile -- i am not even a THIRD of a way through all my thoughts on this- we didnt even get to my footnote!! sit tight everyone :)

What is your take on how The Cycle works in Rain World?
Because I was reading the most recent post of Sparrow and it said that she died and came back, but then in other post it said she reincarnated as someone else??? It left me a little bit confused
i gotchu, good fellow, doncha worry
(reminder to the lore nerds out there that this is Specifically my take on this with which i am Not tryin to stick to the canon lore with teeth n nails. this is my very own bog to trudge through)
SO in my for-the-serotonin take that we constantly poke at here, there are Actual Gods present (based off of the existence of the Void Worms, spun a lil more wildly outwards into world-building). they had been forgotten or forsaken by a lot of the population in favor of their little man-made gods aka the Iterators
the only places where the faith in them survives are the ones where the folk culture persists still. so Sparrows is technically a pagan! this whole eradication of the original local believes happened as a result of religious colonization of the whole world by a culture originating in The Wellspring. think what happened in Europe with pagan believes and christianity
this came to me when i realized how fuckin weird it is that the ENTIRE planet went through with the Mass Ascension. where's the cultural variety? Somebody would have resisted, somebody would have stayed- some branch of culture and belief would have looked at that n wouldve gone "are you stupid what the fuck, that's not how That spiritual aspect Works. get lost with that" because the religions just wouldn't match
either way- the existence of the Folk OG Gods is important to know, because this whole "die, but come back to life again the next day" kush was a gift from one of the Gods!!! one of them thought that it is unfair that a life should be cut so early, that an individual should lose all that they've developed in this life spontaneously, often because of things they couldn't even control. it was meant to be a mercy. a near bottomless bucket of second chances to pull from and keep trying living the best and happiest life one could possibly lead
The Wellspring Ancients with the belief that took gloobal control and then the Extremist of that religion however started propagating this blessing as a curse. so little haters syndrome
reincarnation as a different person happens when one is too young or too old
when kids die they don't come back as the same people because their etheric and astral bodies haven't been developed fully yet and are therefore not rooted in the smaller cycle of Respawning since they aren't whole yet
when elders die they don't come back as the same people because their energy for life at that point is largely depleted and they cannot hold on to the Respawn cycle, so to speak. so granda can bitch about the younglings on his lawn as much as he wants but he better fuckin stay indoors if he wants to stay past the Respawn expiration date
that's how reincarnation that we are familiar with in real life happens in RW! some things from past life still stay with them even into the next life. Sparrows' past life consisted of studying and fucking around with technology a lot, so when she was born as the person we know her as now, she was a techie prodigy
just like in actual Buddhism, person's karma at the end of their life determines where and as what they will be born. Sparrows sucked at the religion shit in the past life as well so she was born into lower, less comfy life than her previous one. and just like in actual Buddhism, an Ancient can be reborn as an animal or a plant if they sucked with their karma REALLY badly across multiple lives

If I remember correctly, I think the diary was the first horcrux made because he used Myrtle Warren's death (his first victim, I'm pretty sure) for that, and after he acquired the ring from the Gaunts (I think it was Morfin Gaunt), he killed the Riddles and used their deaths to create the ring horcrux? Obviously you don't have to keep that order, but I think that's how it was in canon
that does sound logical - canon is insufficiently specific with regard to how one actually makes a horcrux, and i kind of generally figured it took something a little more specific than just killing someone and binding your soul to something - what with the number of murders voldemort's committed, his soul would be on the verge of exploding with every new person he killed, and he doesn't seem to act with a whole lot of caution there. but also, he made an accidental horcrux, so i don't think jkr had anything complicated in mind for the process
making a horcrux using myrtle's death is interesting, though, because it either means that the basilisk is considered a tool rather than a being (which, considering how jkr tends to narratively treat her non-humans..... yeah), or that actually doing the deed yourself isn't required as long as you had a hand in it. either way, there are a shitload of people in that series whose souls are so fragmented, by jkr's standards, going by the # of people they've killed, that it's a wonder accidental horcruxes aren't being made left and right. it's a wonder voldemort only had ONE and he was easily tracked down and persuaded to sacrifice himself for the goal of killing voldemort which obviously will fix everything. goodness gracious
honestly part of me just rebels at the idea of keeping your horcrux with you in your dorm room that you share with a bunch of other people - indestructible, blah blah blah, but clearly not the sort of thing voldemort wants other people getting their hands on. which, fair, that's a piece of his soul, i wouldn't want that either. so that's part of why i have difficulty reconciling myself to the idea that he was making horcruxes *at hogwarts,* especially since the only one he hid in hogwarts was the diadem in the room of requirement and he didn't hide that one until after he'd graduated
and ALSO part of me rebels at the idea of the gaunts just. having the resurrection stone for generations and never being affected by it, but we're getting away from 'horcrux construction' and into 'quibbles with canon in general'

"Today is March 14th," he reminded him.
Jounouchi blinked, slow and stupid.
When he still couldn't piece it together, Seto explained with a self-satisfied smirk. "White Day—the perfect day to stuff my pet with cream."
Jounouchi's eyes widened. Then his face flushed dark crimson. "What is wrong with you? That's not what you're supposed to give people on White Day."
"Oh no. You have it backward. You ate my chocolates, so you owe me a gift. Like you said, it should be triple the worth in return."
"Bullshit. You don't get to pick your own gift," argued Jounouchi.

SO curious what's going on between edna and lailah. they very clearly have history together but to what extent. how long have they known each other. when did they meet and what were the circumstances. how much time have they actually spent together. they seem to not only know each other pretty well but also seem to be on surprisingly friendly terms. edna pokes fun at, teases, makes jokes at the expense of, and is just generally rude and disrespectful to pretty much everyone in the party. except for lailah. not only does she never direct any snarkiness lailah's way but she even seems to actively respect her. and perhaps even enjoy her presence. and for lailah she is the one character never annoyed or put off by edna's antics. she's clearly very used to it and doesn't seem to mind it at all. maybe even is amused by it. and they seem to be on the same wavelength about stuff so often. whether it's teaming up to coach sorey on weapon skills or edna telling lailah to riff and then praising her performance afterward or just kind of. generally agreeing on stuff. they rarely seem to be on opposite sides of a debate. and they even both make puns. i feel like edna picked it up from lailah. and edna never being surprised when lailah dodges the question because of her oath. im just. why are they so in sync. why are they so used to each other. why do they know each other so well that they've picked up each other's mannerisms. what is their history. zestiria please tell me more what is going on between them i need to know

The way books are marketed now gives me fucking hives like it’s cool that you can find a romantic comedy where there’s fake dating (which is less fun when it’s characters I have to learn to care about it seems or I read a Bad One) but like I get so frustrated when all I read on a review is “this sapphic romance with xyz and trope trope trope is soooo spicy!” Just say it’s a romantic comedy with sex scenes, half the time they’re bad and awkward I just want lesbian porn that’s done well! And ain’t spiiicy scenes like cool I’d love to see good ones that aren’t written in to be there to say it’s spicy gimmie good porn in the romance novel make me love the characters instead of going oh they tick 3/5 diversity boxes that’s… so cool.
