sometimes my friends forget i have an actual, serious job. and sometimes when i say something in a *casual* friend setting, you see that moment of realisation on their faces
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called "Crying Lightning"
detail + musings below
I haven't been able to stop thinking about that trailer! I'm so unbelievably hyped for this and Kojima's next espionage game (MGS 3 is one of my all time fave games! ahhhh! ❤️)
I miss the old Higgs' design, it was very strong but maybe this clown will grow on me, who knows lol. I can't believe I actually wanted to draw those equations on his forehead (I used to find it tedious. I took them for granted 😭)
something cool I noticed when drawing this: the makeup below his eyes appear to be inspired by the stripes you see on Nemes - the striped headcloths worn by pharaohs.
unrelated to DS but about the song I chose: it's one of my fave Arctic Monkeys songs, I heard it live and I haven't been the same since - it gives me Higgs vibes! one of the interpretations on Genius suggested that "crying lightning" refers to the streaks that form on someone's face when their mascara runs.
WE ARE SOBBING WE ARE CRYING WE ARE THROWING UP WE ARE SICK TO OUR STOMACHES WE ARE SO FUCKING UNWELL ITS UNBEARABLE BUT ALSO WE ARE THRIVING OUR SKIN IS CLEARING WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK ‼️
Things that give me hope for an Asaden & the eventual Chainsaw man identity reveal:
- When she’s stricken with fear and panic, Yoru can’t possess her. The shock and horror upon finding out Denji is Chainsaw Man once she’s attached to him will mean that Yoru won’t be able to immediately come out and attack him where he stands so Asa has a chance to prevent something from happening.
- You don’t necessarily have to kill someone to make them into a weapon. The strength of a weapon mostly resides in the guilt it takes to make them, and we’ve seen Yoru make weapons out of limbs or certain body parts, like Yoru’s severed leg. Asa could try to cut off Denji’s finger to make it a weapon!! Or his blood, that would make for a cool concept! How desperate I have to be to list this as a positive lol but yes this is Chainsaw Man and it is ruthless
Alternatively, someone also suggested that being part devil, making Denji a weapon wouldn’t work the same as making a weapon out of a human or animal, which maybe would mean he survives or heals back, who knows!
- Asa has resolved to live more selfishly, and that means seeking her own happiness regardless of circumstances. She’ll find a way to have everything go her way instead of having to choose between Denji and her life out of sheer selfish determination. It’s worked out well so far with Yuko and life-threatening situations tbh.
- Nayuta. Knowing that killing Denji would mean leaving Nayuta alone, I can’t see Asa being able to muster up killing Denji. That would make her no better than the devil who murdered her own family. Plus, knowing that Nayuta is Yoru’s sister, being the control devil and all, that could definitely be a factor for Yoru giving up on killing Chainsaw Man. Nayuta is going to be key
send me a 🚩 and i'll share my unpopular rpc opinions and hot takes.
🚩. canon muses lowkey scare me. is this a hot take or just a confession? mm lowkey a confession but this blog is my front lawn and i want to put the silly garden gnome out there.
[lays down on a therapist sofa with a bag of popcorn] as an oc blog with my own laundry list of issues, it’s very unlikely I will follow a canon-only blog first. Even if I dig what and who they’re writing, I just feel to much strange self-inflicted pressure to maneuver around me “not wanting to be that guy.”
What does that mean exactly? No clue my fellow clown lover, it's my own internalized anxiety that I'm still working on— it’s not a standard I hold against anyone else so I know it’s something I need to work on. Baby steps and all.
If I follow a blog that’s either canon-only or has canon muses, they passed an incredible vibe check and show respect towards other ocs w/out making them feel lesser when writing with.
[blows a kiss to my mutuals that have canon blorbos]
i need you all to know that i made the post about max's latest ofmd tweet and then immediately needed to go to this family thing i didn't really want to go to and being able to periodically check in and see y'all clowning incredibly hard made the whole thing about a million times better
as usual ofmd fandom you have my whole entire heart 💖
Thanks for all the replies re aftg!!!! Damn I’m hyped!!! I hope it won’t be too long before we can read it, I feel like Nora wouldn’t announce anything unless it was a sure go
Also I completely agree that’s what makes aftg (tbh The Foxhole Court sounds more well-suited as the series title for me personally!! But anyways)— so compelling to me. A life after trauma, the after. So many stories take us through the grinder and just end and make it look like all is said and done once you’ve experienced the storm, but what about life after the storms that come our way? Dealing with the damage it caused?
we get a good reminder with Nora’s stories that it’s not so simple as overcoming an obstacle; more so enduring after all these trials and tribulations and still …wanting to live? can’t always relate to this)
ANYWAY sorry I get so sidetracked I’m so excited!! And I’m not a jerejean shipper but the energy y’all putting out makes me so happy I love this fandom lmao
hddjjdjdjdjd no no you Get it. you Understand. everything you’re saying about the after and dealing with the fallout and still wanting to life…. yeah…. exactly. i think TSC is a very sure thing, she wouldn’t tell us about it otherwise considering she clearly stated in the past that she had no intentions of revisiting the universe in any capacity. AND YET here we are. also djjdjsjs let’s be honest the jerejean thing would be nice but i do not expect it. i guess we’ll have to wait and see.
