Sleepover 6

Previous part^

Edit: AHHHHH thank you all for reading and giving this series so much love🥹🩷 I had a blast doing it

Making this healed something deep within me I almost cried

I'm starting to believe that Dazai's Good-bye speech was legit meant to be a misdirect for Fyodor, but then Chuuya went brlbrl and Dazai's actual feelings got involved, so he cut it short

Moominvalley Episode Rewatch Recap continues [set music]

Episode 7 here we go with wonderful (half) sibling antics between Snufkin and Little My. I wish they got into doing more together, they do great crime. Something I like seeing translated across any animated version of Snufkin is apparently the fact he crosses his legs. It’s a very minor part of his body posture but it’s fun to notice the continuity.

THEY WERE SO FREAKING CUTE IN THIS SCENE *SCREAMS*

Do you think tsukasa would have been self-destructive even if he had had a normal life? (without evil entities or supernatural sacrifices)

Probably not. Everything that is happening now is the result of Amane's efforts to save Tsukasa from the entity. If the entity doesn't exist, Amane would die from the disease (probably, considering that it's not the entity that's making him sick).

If he survived the disease, they would live peacefully, but I still believe that Tsukasa would feel rejected, because of Hanako's natural behavior, but Tsukasa would have no reason to leave.

He had gone to save Amane, but if Amane never got sick, then it would just be a matter of relationship.

We don't know if Tsukasa is really cruel at times because it's part of his nature or if it's because of the entity, so we'll have that doubt.

But if Amane died, I would have serious doubts about what Tsukasa would do… although I have a hunch.

The dark truth of the Clock Keepers - Theory

I will be talking about how there's much more to the Clock Keepers and how they are an active danger to everyone else, and and an even more terrible threat than even the pit god, at that.

For an introduction, Akane agrees: The biggest threat to the students are the Clock Keepers. But it's a much bigger threat that anyone would expect.

This arc is about the Clock Keepers changing the timeline that we know of into a new one, everything has gone wrong and Nene is the only one left.

But it would seem it goes much deeper than that. After all, the timeline we know of isn't even the original one.

For starters, Akane explains that while there are some who are able to regain their memories of the 'Old World', they would be rewritten with memories of the 'New World'. It's specific for 3 days due to the Festival being 3 days long, an event where the timeflow becomes unstable.

During the Festival Season of 1968, Yugi Amane attempts to get the clock moving so he can manipulate time, and Hanako states that he HAD to get it moving until the end of the School Festival, but he can't remember anything about the clock.

Sounds familiar?

To get to the point, Yugi Amane of 1968 had the memories of a 'previous world', and tried to fix the clock so he can go back. But he failed to do so, and, as a result, forgot everything about the clock.

Until Chapter 124, this is also seemingly supported by Teru and Akane.

Even if they may not be aware, their impressions are right. It's extremely unlikely that this is the first time the Clock Keepers altered time, like playing 'God'.

But now, it's even further confirmed by Chapter 124.

The past has indeed been changed several times. But why do so many people have to suffer in this way, have their souls cut and forever bound to the Boundary, some even going crazy as a result. In a way, it sounds like something the pit god would do, isn't it?

But *why* would the Clock Keepers do that? There's an easy answer. They need to bend the rules. At first glance, the Clock Keepers seem overpowered, unbeatable. They can seemingly turn back time on a whim with no repercussions- But we know for a fact that's not true.

After all, Shijima herself states it. Each Boundary of the School Mystery is bound by rules. Mysteries can't just do whatever they like- There are rules they have to respect. Especially when it comes to such an overpowered ability like messing with time, there has to be a major weakness or price to pay for it, a drawback that Kako discovered how to circumvent. Such an overpowered ability, unregulated? No way.

After all, it's not only the Clock Keepers' servants that are clockwork dolls, they themselves are also clockwork dolls.

Kako cutting up souls everytime the past is changed is not a coincidence. It's so he can have someone else pay for the price of altering time.

Wouldn't that be why Kako decided to travel to 1968, to the time he would find a 12 year old who is so desperate to turn back time?

After all, it's so much easier to find a human willing to pay the price in your stead. Especially if it's a child motivated by desperation. For every timeline change, someone has to sacrifice something. But Kako had found an easier way: Just sacrifice someone else.

Some are able to accept reality as it is and just dutifully abide by the Clock Keepers' rules as their masters, like the cat, and some don't and end up crazy, like the broken doll. Whether from the past, future or another world, they're all the same- They all used to be humans.

This cruel practice is so Kako is freely able to play 'God' without worrying about the rules every mystery has to abide to, and it's even solidified by the victims who can't recall the circumstances themselves. It's a practice that, if revealed, exposes the Clock Keepers' limits.

Why do you think Kako had asked Akane to stay alive until they wake up? Because if all else failed, the Clock Keepers would be able to exchange Akane's soul to turn back time once more. It's literally Akane that's a safety net, not just the Yorishiro.

Wouldn't that also explain why the position of the Clock Keeper of the Present is vacant and only filled by humans?

Why was that position vacant until they found Akane, a boy who similarly wanted the power to control time? The "Clock Keeper of the Present" is simply a disposable asset.

But now, Kako messed up big time. He used time as his playground to attempt to get rid of an actual God, one who now is aware of the danger the Clock poses.

The consequences for this will be lethal for the Clock Keepers, ones who treat time and lives so lightly, and karmic retribution will come swiftly.

As final words, it would seem that Nene finding the truth behind the dolls behind finding Kako is done on purpose so she cannot fall in the Clock Keepers' trap and play her cards right.

Kako will not be able to get away with treating this world as his personal playground.

Unexpected fan

Shanks realised too late he had in fact just been adopted by Luffy as his dad

there’s a comic in anthology hana where dazai talks about oda and explains how having a true friend is different to the relationships you form with your coworkers/family because they’re a person you can stay with on equal terms despite differences in perspective. and atsushi is kinda disappointed by this because according to dazai’s definition he still doesn’t have any true friends, the agency being mostly his seniors who share his values or kyouka who’s more of a sibling figure, but then dazai smiles and says that he does have someone who could be that for him. and the next panel shows akutagawa. thereby implying that dazai thinks it’s possible for sskk to develop the same level of connection with each other that he had with oda. is that not crazy

coffee shop barista: … okay well your total is 5.98

You know I'm too deep in the hyperfixation when I have tears in my eyes just by seeing Satosugu fanarts -yes even the cute and wholesome ones.
