Oopsies.. I got this ask back in JULY. I actually drew it a while ago and didn’t post it until now for whatever reason, judges head is so shiny….
Throws these and runs
When you were alive, what did you want to be…?
Rereading Nevermore and this time reading through the comments under the chapters, and christ alive am I frustrated by all the absolutely awful bad-faith takes on Annabel Lee's character. If she were a man, everyone would be fawning over her/him and calling him a wifeguy.
A guy being an asshole and cold and sacrificing everything including his own life for the sake of protecting and saving a woman he loves above all else? Who only has a soft spot for this one person, for whom he never fails to melt? People would be wetting their knickers, it's one of the most popular fictional archetypes, and something countless women are hoping for in a man.
But if it's a woman? A lesbian? Crucify, crucify I say!
Drawing ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS :DD
truly nothing funnier than having an archive of when you first started getting into a media that has since consumed your entire life
apollo justice is so accurate as an early-20s person. he's taking whatever job he can get (even if it's cleaning toilets or babysitting instead of doing his actual career.) he says he's getting old when he's around high schoolers. he's constantly two seconds from crashing out. he lowkey has imposter syndrome; he definitely has anxiety. he's tired to his fucking bones and cranky like an old man, but also the biggest goofball to ever exist. he has savage one liners. no one takes him seriously as an actual adult. he doesn't understand teenage fads. he styles his hair in the dumbest way imaginable. he has a terrible sleep schedule. he thinks he's hot shit but he also beats himself up.
he's just so relatable. he's doing fine!
I can't help but find it so ridiculous how Hanako literally planned for Aoi to die and yet they're both having a normal conversation as they're going to the existential version of nowhere.
"You may have done some real shady stuff and left me to die behind someone's back, but what do you think of my friend?"
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.
Annabel Lee, talks about ladylike behavior, while reading the most scandalous book of her century… the legend you are, Annabel
