There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it.

The Magnificent Steiner has done it again...
I don’t understand people who see Monster as a nihilist work, as if Johan was supposed to be right?
First off: I'm not well-versed in philosophy so I'm not sure as to what counts as nihilism but I absolutely don't think that the narrative of monster is that Johan was right
While the story revolves around Johan, the moral of the story doesn't lie on his worldview but shown throughout the series by other characters—that is: even though the world is cruel, full of darkness, pain and suffering, we mustn't let it continue and consume us
Times and times again we were told and shown that we mustn't fall into despair and we can't let the darkness consume us because we have the power to prevent it from spreading further
That we can still hold on to hope for a better future
Times and times again we were shown how people are saved by other people's kindness and intervention:
Dieter and Milosh were saved because Tenma and Grimmer cared about them and gave them compassion
Eva didn't get murdered because Martin refused to let himself be consumed by despair and choose compassion instead
Mikhail Petrov saved the children by raising them full of compassion
And in the end Johan didn't get what he wanted because he was wrong; he was wrong about the world (the world isn't just full of darkness), he was wrong about people (people are capable to act with compassion instead of cruelty and selfishness), and he was wrong about himself (he isn't a lost cause)
And that's what broke him: his lifelong beliefs were shattered by his sister's compassion and Tenma's refusal to kill
Again, I don't know what counts as nihilism, but:
TLDR: Monster is a story about how hope and compassion triumph over despair and cruelty
If Grimmer had a pet he would have a little parakeet
I just know it guys I mean parakeets are so Grimmer coded they’re so silly and cute 😭
I want to thank Taylor Swift for writing “Forever Winter” about Wolfgang Grimmer
Urasawa and his obsession on making us know they were Dieter’s parents.
but he must never fire a gun. not if i can do it for him. // you have to promise me something, nina! swear to me you won’t kill anyone!
