Um??? Currently in chapter 4? I think? Of TDBK.
I just got done with a scene that feels way too insignificant? Like they just glossed over this, it feels REALLY IMPORTANT.
The anomaly said to choose a date. I chose the Vagastrom excursion. I'm not sure if the same happens no matter what you choose, but I can't stop thinking about what happens after bets are placed.
Ritsu said THE DAY THE CONSTITUTION OF JAPAN TOOK EFFECT. And MC said the day she and Vagastrom went on a mission.
Chips were handed out according to the value of the day. And who got more chips? Take a wild guess, who got more chips?
Mc. MC got more chips. Meaning the mission with Vagastrom was apparently more. Significant. Than the Constitution of Japan.
Oh- and don't get me wrong, I'm still infinitely pissed about the fact that neither MC nor Ritsu- THE PARALEGAL- thought to ask what happens with the given dates, but yk. NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, FOLKS.
I mean, as soon as Kaito said "date" I had a theory. I thought maybe they were wagering future dates, and that would be the day they die. But the dates were in the past. And Kaito's date was about 2 weeks before Vagastrom, if memory serves me correctly, and he didn't seem to remember exchanging numbers with MC.
Does the anomaly erase the date from memory, then? That still doesn't explain Kaito's number being erased. Or why Rapunzel is involved.
Does it make it so that the date never happened? No, because then MC wouldn't remember that she ever had Kaito's number in the first place.
What about making it so the person who wagered has no recollection of or effect on the date? Well, I doubt Shinjo was there when the Constitution was signed.
Tldr; I am very confused. ???? What the hell does that anomaly do with the dates
I'm just gonna come out and say it- I feel like Caleb might not end up having a myth?
Hear me out here- I know all the other love interests have myths and it would be weird for Caleb to be the one exception but hear me out-
All the other love interests, a good part of their lore is their myth. Rafayel is salty about MC forgetting him, he's the god of the sea or smth (not entirely sure, I haven't read all of it) Xavier is the Prince of Philos (also not entirely sure forgive me-) Sylus is (was?) a dragon, and Zayne betrayed a god for MC.
Point is, the main reason they value MC so much (nix Zayne I think, I heard somewhere that he doesn't remember MC.) is BECAUSE they remember her past lives. Rafayel actively hates all other humans, Xavier and the flower shop guy confirmed that she's important because of who she was, Sylus as well, blah blah blah, point is that all their lore depends on her past lives.
But Caleb? The central point of his story is that he died. Him and MC grew up together, one day he came back and they were visiting Josephine, and suddenly he died. Suddenly, the house blew up and took him with it.
And for the past- year? Half a year? Somewhere around there, for the past HOWEVER LONG, Mc has been grieving and mourning, not just thinking, but KNOWING him as having died, to her knowledge he had died in that fire, and really a part of him did.
That kindhearted caring boy she knew? The one who would try to avenge her even after she lied and said she was fine, the one who said she could talk to him about anything, he's dead.
And in his place stands three things. The necklace she gave him before he died, the death certificate confirming he truly is gone, and Colonel Caleb. A testament to all that has changed.
His story might not revolve around MC forgetting him, but instead around MC remembering a version of him that no longer exists.
That, and I feel like giving him a myth of top of all his other lore may feel like too many cooks in the kitchen, y'know?

Which one is ur favorite?
Okay I feel like I've been playing this game and posting about this game for too long without any sort of actual opinions so I'm gonna now talk nonsense about The Traitor™
First of all, we know very little about this traitor. We know it's a ghoul, (obviously,) we knew them B4 we met Taiga, Taiga knows we know them, it's been brewing for a while, and objectively that's kinda it. Like that's pretty much all we know.
So, what does that mean? We can cross out Subaru and Zenji, anyone from Obscuary, anyone from Sinostra probably and probably any of the first years too, meaning Sho, Leo, Ren, Ritsu, and Lyca. And Luca too ofc, since he's a transfer. And Kaito. I mean look at him. He's a mess.
Who does that leave? Jin and Thoma, Alan, Towa and Haru, Haku, and Mortkranken.
Yuri has too obvious of a god complex to make him being a traitor creative or a twist at all, and Haru is stretched way too thin for that.
Jin, Thoma, Towa, Haku, Yuri and Jiro.
Jiro seems like he's being held together by a piece of string ngl, and he doesn't seem to be focused enough to make a careful and calculating traitor.
Jin, Thoma, Towa, Haku, Jiro.
Towa, as aggressive as he may have been before as evidenced by his dialogue with Ed, is currently obsessed with love of all forms, cares deeply for Haru, an anomalous dog, and even an anomalous tree. He may be capable of betraying everyone, but it doesn't seem like he would.
Jin, Thoma, Towa, Haku.
Jin is rich, has a powerful Stigma, has status, and clearly is far more concerned about himself than others. On top of that, he appears bossy and unconcerned, with more than enough time to plan traitorous activities. But he's also been seen saving Luca, Kaito, MC, and some random kid, then saving Luca and MC again, then slapping Luca for putting MC in a potentially dangerous position. Also, with how often Thoma and MC enter his room, it would be next to impossible to hide possible 'plans'.
Jin, Thoma, Haku.
Thoma is suspicious, seemingly loyal, regularly has midnight rendezvous with another captain, and wears a monocle. He also has a powerful Stigma, as we have literally seen him use it to level a building. Ngl, he would make a convincing traitor. But there is one more option that seems, storytelling wise, far more compelling.
Haku.
Firstly, he's one of the few people Taiga would know MC knows. He was there when Taiga nearly threw her off the train. And honestly, the fact Taiga remembered him enough to not have to ask who he was is kinda concerning in of itself. What's more is that Haku's reaction wasn't "don't do that, it's gonna kill her" but instead "I don't want to see that, I don't want to have to tell the academy," and "I'm not tryna swipe your prey."
Secondly, what house is Haku in? That's right, Hotarubi. A house for the creative and those value individuality and difference. We know Subaru is an actor, and Zenji plays the Biwa. But what of Haku? To my knowledge, he doesn't have an exclusively *him* artistic hobby. You can't exactly make traitorous plans without a bit of creativity though.
And yes, Zenji does usually follow him, which would usually make it difficult to get plans made, but what do we learn nearly as soon as we walk into Hotarubi? The students there are extremely respectful of others privacy. And with Haku actually being able to see Zenji, he's probably about as easy to hide things from as any other student.
How did Haku act when he saw Lyca stuck in that cell? He didn't seem very surprised. Pretty much the first thing he said was that it could happen to any of the ghouls. He was also the only one to know about the Hotarubi teahouse, is one of two people so far in Darkwick to own a skeleton key, and remind me how he reacted when MC said they need to stay out of trouble for the Gala?
Haku: "So the fate of the Gala depends on whether or not is Ghouls stay out of trouble? Oof."
That alone isn't very suspicious, I mean all the other ghouls get into trouble like it was what they were born to do, but when Zenji says it'll be a paradise in no time, Haku says "Hey now, don't put words in our mouths." Also not too suspicious, but it would be pretty damning foreshadowing.
And what about his Stigma? We still don't know it. All the other ghouls we either see their Stigma in action, know exactly what it does, or just never see/hear of it. It seems pretty pointed that Haku is the only person who MC asks and she *conveniently* gets cut off while asking.
Plus, the juxtaposition of The game starting with Taiga trying to kill MC and Haku saving her, and it possibly ending with Haku being a traitor and Taiga being the only one that knew, would be really satisfying.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something more, and I'll add it here later if i am, but first I have a character design thing about Haku to point out.
Look at these characters' eyes. Look closely. Now this is gonna seem like a bunch of complete nonsense I'm about to say, (stay with me here,) but I'm gonna say it anyway. Firstly, Jiro. Eyebags, rectangular eyes, looking away from the camera, that little highlight in his eyes is very small, and he doesn't seem to be squinting at all. Tired, fairly stoic, non-sociable characters have eyes like that. His eyes are also red, usually a staple for characters that are either seen as dangerous by others or secretive.
Leo, on the other hand. Firstly, the highlight is on the other side of his eye. From what I've seen, the only other character like that is Yuri. By the looks of it, in this case it means a character is shady. Or it means nothing. Case by case. The shape seems fairly ubiquitous, if a bit lidded, but the *color* of his eye? Yellow is the most common eye color for snakes.
What does this mean? On its own, absolutely nothing to do with the topic. This way just a segue into mentioning Haku's eyes.
His base expression alone seems to be of fear. His eyes are sharper than others, both his irises and his pupils are practically needle width, and, much like Leo's, his eye color is that of a snake.
Look at him. His irises don't even reach the bottom of his eyes. He was built to look suspicious and psychotic.
(smth I used to confirm my obvious suspicion ↓)
(I tried to look up stuff about the knot earring he's wearing, I swear I looked it up before and it meant luck, apparently it's a Buddha Knot..?)
I still don't know how to end these, so... Lucky summoning!
EP 11 spoilers part 7 Tokyo Debunker
Leo: so Subaru is looking after Bonnie, hm?
Subaru: something just happened
Leo is way too unbothered jeez
See now I know logically that it was the anomaly that killed him and not Alan,
But like a part of me also thinks it might be funny if it just actually was Alan
It's not. But still
Sketches from my main I feel like followers on here would like.
139 sacrifices.
How many more must perish before I get what I want?
46 disappointing mice have been hatched. Now 46 disappointing mice shall die.
I require a more interesting mouse.
(also my left stick refuses to fucking click so this is taking twice as long cuz I can't RUN.)
I shall count my mice via Tumblr.
46/like 600 smth. Please give me my mouse Pokemon
✨
Wtf. Do I die via bedazzlement or smth???
☕️
Do you think MC still knows some random aerospace stuff from when Caleb wasn't pretending to be dead?
Like I know I worded that wrong but still- I'm just imagining MC pretending to be uninterested in what Caleb does for work, just to (accidentally or purposefully) retain an oddly large amount of information on stuff like aerodynamics and engines and flight speed.
After the explosion, MC might hang out with one of her many suitors, and they go to a festival or smth and I'm just imagining them stumbling across, like, a paper airplane contest, and they're like "hey this could be fun"
Lo and behold MC completely dominates the competition, doubling the score of the person in second place and walking away with all the prizes, all bcuz her now (presumably) dead ex/BFF/whatever else he was, was really interested in planes before he (fake) died.
Anyway, back to totally not pirating shows while I wait for one of my games to redownload.
Yknow there's a recent trend I've just noticed in the newest Pokemon games that I find hilarious
In Pokemon, you usually know immediately who the villain is. The design alone can tell you pretty clearly who is and is not looking to end the world. HOWEVER
For PLA, SV, and the SV DLC (that's a lot of acronyms) it seems like the villain just straight up gets redesigned when they turn evil lmao
Sada/Turo get all wacky and electronic. Kieran puts his hair up and starts dressing like most malnourished early teen boys do. Volo turns into the hippie antichrist and invents hair gel. Even that other dude- god I forgot his fucking name- the one who exiles Akari/Rei (I think those were their names?) switches out formal getup for straight up armour. SO DOES BENI ACTUALLY HE TURNS INTO A NINJA. And I know Clavell doesn't really count as any sort of villain but doesn't he get an outfit change too? Albeit a lot... Crappier?
Point being- those Capitalists totally look like the villains in PLZA but also... It could just straight up be Taunie/Urbain or literally anyone else. Like they could just quick-change before deciding the fate of the world through dogfight and no-one could tell from one trailer.
(also I was doing SO GOOD with consist posting for like 3 days before I starting shiny hunting this SONIC-FRANCHISE AMY RIPOFF and now I've wasted multiple days of my time on this violent pink child I DONT EVEN HAVE YET)
appletun? pretty please 🍎
These take. An embarrassingly long time to complete.
