Rei’s Monologue In The Second To Last Chapter Is Everything To Me. Maybe I’m Reading Into It Too
rei’s monologue in the second to last chapter is everything to me. maybe I’m reading into it too much, but this feels like foreshadowing for deeper adonis development… “adonis’ love is a wonderful thing. sweet, pure, and warm. and that’s why it’s so poisonous.”
ive always believed the reason why rei and adonis developed so differently despite being so similar deep down was because rei grew up shouldering the burdens of an adult and seeing love as indistinguishable from obligation, while adonis grew up in a truly loving family, so he has a healthier conception of love. but adonis is also just as self-sacrificing. maybe that changed between saqr faith in !-era and burning body in !!, where adonis goes from singing about not caring if his body is burned up by the sun to singing about wanting this fire in him to drive him… but maybe it hasn’t changed. will rei have to stand by and watch as adonis is devoured by his own love? as his mother’s love “becomes a chain that binds him”?
(adonis event story spoilers under cut)
so you’re telling me urania was a child, shouldering burdens no child should ever have to shoulder, when adonis comforted her with his song? a simple comforting gesture that meant nothing to him and everything to her? a gesture he forgot almost immediately, but that she carried with her for years to come? that she brought all the way with her to japan?
wow! that story doesn’t sound familiar at all to another experience in adonis’ life. anyway, im going to go listen to the fully voiced Reincarnation: Chapter 8 from the !-era story Resurrection Sunday for no reason in particular.

99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.
merry christmas
jesus was a palestinian jew
the birthplace of jesus, bethlehem, was raided today
bethlehem cancelled christmas celebrations this year for the first time
lebanon was also bombed today, and has been continuously bombed for the past 79 days
there were jews, muslims, and christians living together in peace in palestine before zionism
there are still christians and churches in palestine, including in gaza, and many churches in gaza have been bombed
many zionists are violent and discriminatory towards christians
about 10,000 children have been killed in gaza since october 7th
free palestine. ceasefire now
You're super cool, and you're from California too? Woah. Nice! I'm not in LA (well, unless you count Greater LA. Then I AM in LA) but it's still so nice to see someone else from the area also be an enstarrie! (Well, there's millions of people around here. So there's no way there isn't other enstarries, but you know what I mean, yeah?) Hope you have a wonderful night!!
i know what you mean 😭 there were at least 3 enstars cupsleeve events in LA/OC back in 2022: one for leo bday, one for niki bday, and one combined event for reikao bdays, so definitely lots of enstarries in socal! unfortunately, i have not met any of them...
anyway we are not alone. we will find our bretheren

good end: it’s rei letting go of his vampire persona for a small time and letting himself be a human
neutral end: it’s just a really funny name. same vibes as kaoru dressing as a priest
bad end: : )
best end: koga was so pumped about the name hellsing that no one else corrected him
undead’s new unit is called hellsing, like, Abraham van Helsing, the classic enemy of dracula? seeing undead finally rebel against rhylink is a dream come true but now I’m nervous…
cant stop thinking abt richard siken saying that people liked him better when they thought he was forever young, beautiful, serious and dead
