One Thing I've Been Struggling To Articulate Is How Meaningfull The “now We're Even” Line Is To Sskk.

Happy birthday Chuuya! ♡

While Loki bullying his brother and dissing his mom were obviously horrible things to do, I don't think that Loki actually felt any real prejudice towards Hajrudin or his mother. I think that he was just saying the thing that he knew would hurt his brother the most and this was part of an already established pattern of Loki lashing out due to already being treated poorly by the rest of Elbaf by this point.

Remember, every giant was dunking on Harald's first wife for being non-Elbafian so it's more likely that Loki, who is much younger than Hajrudin who himself looks about seven or eight here, parroted what the older giants were saying without understanding the actual weight of it. Kids say stupid shit they overhear from adults who should know better all the time.

Plus, notice how none of the older giants in this flashback are jumping to Hajrudin's defense or holding back Loki from attacking him? If anything, it looks like they're egging on the violence. Even Harald, the peace-loving king who just said he wants his sons to get along, isn't putting a stop to one of them beating the other bloody while spewing xenophobic remarks.

You could give Harald the benefit of the doubt by saying this happened when he wasn't around (I took the 'get along when i'm gone' as 'get along after i die' but he could have just been leaving on a day trip here), but still the giants are doing nothing to defend the king's eldest son from physical and verbal abuse even from one of their pariahs implicitly because, in their eyes, Loki isn't saying anything that they don't agree with.

Frankly, it's a miracle that Hajrudin didn't become as resentful of Elbaf as Loki did.

Happy birthday to the queen!!❤️‍🔥🩷🌹👑🫶🏻💫✨️

the thing is not only akutagawa regaining his memories by having atsushi throw himself to save him like he did, but also that akutagawa's eyes have never been more clear

silly april fools birthday clown

Elise is a child despite having existed for decades because she looks like a child, thinks like a child and acts like a child.

Sigma is an adult despite having existed for three years because he looks like an adult, thinks like an adult and acts like an adult

Obviously Gaban would come to help with the monsters, he must have heard the announcement saying that they were attacking the school and the children and immediately ran out to help, after all, Ripley works there as a teacher and Collon is a child, he probably came to try to find the two to protect them.

kind of upset that so many people seem to have forgotten or not known that trauma can result in hallucinations. of course atsushi is hallucinating dazai. he’s hallucinating someone he trusts and getting advice from them somehow

Asagiri reminds us of Akutagawa, Atsushi and Dazai's past and expects us to be fine after that??

small art for aku bday :>
