them!! my faves!!
Human is much more evil than devil himself.
The Promised Neverland is based on an old and rather popular trope. It would be like saying Squid Game is the blueprint of survival genre.
any thought about the parallel that exists between the promised never land and on going subarc of black butler?
Hey Anon!
None, because I never read or watched TPN and I don't intend to any time soon, if ever. :))
Additionally, I'm relatively against drawing parallels between series, when TPN seems at best an inspiration for Yana-sensei (like Sherlock Holmes was for the Murders at Manor arc), who's a writer known to explore widely and in depth the tropes she uses for settings (Ducky or chibi once translated a few twitter posts about this, but I can't find it right now).
Also, please remember that, aside from TPN and as I explained here, this orphanage arc mostly seems to act as a parallel and a continuation of what was introduced in the circus arc and I'd like to remind everyone that TPN was written way after Kuro's circus arc.
Lastly, I have war flashbacks of fans drawing comparisons from one series to explain or theorize about another (the whole Femtoneki horror trip from back when TG:Re was still on going and some examples in Kuro fandom as well), as if writers can't use similar tropes without this meaning they copy each other (a concept I find extremely snooty of fans). So while other fans are free to do as they please, I'd rather just read Yana's work as Yana's work, no offense!
My opinion though! As always, other people are free to do entirely as they want! :))
Have a nice day, Anon!
After losing unlimited access to Phantom sweets O!ciel needs to collect his daily dose of sugar himself.
And if you don't give him a treat he'll call Sebastian.
The only right costume for Snake is a Medusa from Greek methodology and you can't convince me otherwise. (Also I've subconsciously drawn him in mark brunet artstyle...)
They just love each other
Sebastian and O!Ciel but with the Goofy Movie.
5 hours into the drive...Sebastian’s sulking because he had his heart set on their father-son trip to the World Cat Museum, but O!Ciel just wants to attend the pop concert his crush Lizzy Midford is holding with her girl band.
a super quick sketch of lizzie because i don’t draw her very often (!!!) which i really need to change! also testing out some new brushes
i have no idea how her hair works and i don’t think i’ve really grasped keeping her face on-model, but practice makes perfect…
I actually think the best way for Soma to "avenge" on RCiel is for him to find out the twins' issues, realising RCiel is just like past him to Mina, and actually forgiving him: like I want to see Soma telling R!Ciel off right into his face that he's just an immature and insecure child who struggles and failed to control his beloved brother and has no worth to be avenged on, then return to Bengal after claiming he'll always be his little brother's friend no matter how pissed off RC might be...
Hey Anon! Nah, nah, as much as I want Soma to become our!Ciel’s Agni, I really hope he helps taking real!Ciel’s operation down and won’t forgive him.
To explain: I definitely agree with you that, even though the main theme of this series is revenge, it is slowly demonstrated to be a painful and dangerous path that won’t bring any good, even less comfort or solace.
Therefore, our!Ciel, Soma… following the revenge path will only bring them more pain, in a similar fashion to UT who won’t be able to move on and heal by focusing on the past (bringing back dead loved ones) rather than on the present/future (saving our!Ciel from Seb and protecting the rest of them++).
That’s why I agree with you that it’s not good development for Soma to be the one killing the twin out of revenge for Agni, simply because he indeed will gain much more solace by helping our!Ciel (”becoming his Agni”) with realizing that he belongs with his family and friends as who he is.
In other words, we don’t know what Soma understands about the current situation yet. However, because revenge brings nothing good, trying to achieve it would lead him into a dark abyss that he probably won’t come back from.
That doesn’t mean that Soma has to forgive real!Ciel though. Agni’s death was unnecessary, unfair and extremely violent. Besides, real!Ciel is an antagonist who, because he’s dead, is far beyond redemption. Therefore, the narrative won’t benefit from anyone forgiving him.
I hope I managed to explain properly. Thanks for passing by and have a nice day. :))
