Just wanted to draw something silly
redrew some small panels for funsies
I was rereading Nevermore and OMG LENORE IN THIS CHAPTER ?? I keep being reminded how BEAUTIFUL she is. Also I just love the nevermore artstyle it’s so delicious
I believe Kako's backstory is either not completed or a twisted version of the truth and should not be taken at face value.
Aidairo loves to make a mystery tell us "their story" the second Nene get familiar with their boundary:
And later reveal that either the story was a lie that's is convinient for the mystery to achieve their goals:
Or a lie that haunt them to their core, until it twist the meaning of their existence:
Considering how Kako's whole story is basically a "don't mess with time. It will ruin you. Human weren't built for it, only I can't handle it." leaving a lot of things vague or quick to be dismissed. I think that while he is revealing many true things about his existence, he is still hiding the full story or twisting the details so that it makes his message to nene "give up, only the guardians should control time," more clear and heavy for her.
I would genuinely be surprised if aidairo doesn't re tell this story later under a new lense, because it feels imcomplete.
We don't actually know what this special thing is after all:
The story want us to believe this special thing is either Mirai, or the hourglass, but I don't quite buy it...
A yorishiro is always central to a mystery story (Tsuchi with the moon rock. Yako with Misaki's scissors. Mei with the sketchbook she was drawn on... so on) and Kako never once mentioned this key or the clock that the key unlock.
EDIT: We also don't know how Kako built Mirai/whose soul she has, since the niece no longer exists.
For as solid as Kako's story is, something about it feels very odd.
GOD NOOOOOOOO THE HORRORS ARE STARTING (mitsuba's backstory) AAAAGGGGHH I CANT I CANT RN BRO PLEASE
been rereading the tbhk manga (finally) and I finally got to
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
imagine you DIE and you get sent to shitty school where you have to COMPETE for a chance to LIVE but you finally make the friends you never had in life so it’s not that bad and then a crazy fucking stag ATTACKS your school and it IMPALES you so in your last moments you KISS the guy who you’ve been pining for but he PUSHES you off and then you MELT into a pile of wax and get replaced by a CLONE
messy comic i made of the Hater Siblings last year while i was playing through justice for all
