I Have A Fun Headcanon. I Posted This In An AA Discord Server I’m In And I Figured Why Not On Tumblr

Abandon all hope, ye who enter

I know😭😭😭 I wish I could stop reading for a bit, like sometimes I do forget about the updates but I'll see some random post and get dragged back into the bsd hellhole against my will🙏 every chapter review I've had for the past 2 years always have me raving about jouno when will it be his turn god if you hear me🙏🙏🙏

bsd 122 spoilers

bsd 122 in 4 words or less is basically, let's wrap this shit up. let's just go dawgs

bsd is literally just sskk's love story because what is this

Inlove typa shi bro

and then. What in the actual fuck. I didn't really expect that. bsd really loves their plot twists with no clear foreshadowing/set up

(tHeRe lIteRaLlY iS yOu juST—) WELL SORRY I DIDN'T NOTICE besides it's not exactly "no set up" it's just idk. I'm not sure what to call it. maybe unnecessary? but then again it's good for atsushi's character development but I feel like we already established that in the chapter where dazai tells him "but a child cries when a father dies". Ig it's also a representation that even if that's the case the memory of him will never leave him

It's kinda scary to think that Q's ability is still in effect even if it's just side effects but still wtf

also I guess what I mean by unnecessary is that well, can we just wrap this shit up please I want the british arc and verlaine gets out of the damn basement arc; like bsd was always a fantasy but this shi is really getting off rails now, I liked the balance between the real world and the abilities but now it's just what the fuck why are we in the 4th dimension. I miss the silly detective work :(

and dawg I WANNA SEE JOUNO POV SOMEONE ELSE'S POV PLEASE (JOUNOJOUNOJOUNOJOUNOJOUNO) If asagiri just makes a little mention on his 'funeral' and move on I'll jot down on his door. Asagiri if jouno doesn't come back soon, you WILL find me in front of your doorstep

I've had enough of this year

Willtresor is endgame

That’s my first thought when I saw these two gaybies lol THEY LOOKED SO CUTE AND INNOCENT IN THE FIRST INTERACTION WHAT HAPPENED AHHH (well, here’s my theory)

Notice, Monty let Will have the seat while he stands, despite him thinking he’s the boss of Will :)

I really want to think that this:

Was because they made promises to each other in the maze that when they get a second life, they’ll spend it together — cuz both don’t really have a reason to want a second life (I’M SORRY BUT IT’S TRUE THEIR LIVES SUCK, WILL HAS NO ONE WHO CARES ABOUT HIM AND MONTY JUST SLEEPS AROUND POINTLESSLY)

I think they literally made their first real friend and fought through the maze together with the intentions of getting a second life that they could spend with their new friend

Because why else would they want a second life if they’ll just continue their pointless life where they live then die again? they have a reason now to believe their life could be worth living because they have someone to spend it with

Monty’s outburst was because Will planted the ideas in his head that they could live together happily, so who should he get mad at when he finds out that will never happen? WILLIAM :))

I’d like to think everything after that was Monty being defensive and not wanting to keep Will close anymore because they can’t have a life together anyway, and that’ll only hurt them both more

Him putting Duke behind a wall and picking fights with the misfits is because they can’t all have the second life

He doesn’t really want the life but he also doesn’t want to die, because religious trauma — he thinks he’ll go to hell for being the way he is, blah blah blah

If they all could have a second life, I think this will be Monty 24/7 hahaha:

This was supposed to be a shitpost, that’s why the punctuations suck BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN ACTUALLY GOOD THEORY WHAT

ok, anyway, Willtresor fans, FEAST ON MY THEORY

oh my gof tumblr would not let me post for the longest time but uhh anyway HAPPY BELATED MITSUKOU SUICIDE DAY!!!!!!

So, cool concept I thought of.

What if, in Mahiru's last moments, she asked Yuno to hug her so she can feel loved for one last time?

And Yuno does it because one should honour the last wishes of a dying person.

And even though Mahiru is dying she is still warm because of the inherent warmth present in her.

And it makes Yuno feel warmer like being with Mahiru always does.

And when she dies Yuno continues to hold on to her to take up as much of the remaining warmth as possible.

And then Mahiru's body goes cold.

And Yuno loses another thing that kept her warm, leaving her cold once again.

truly nothing funnier than having an archive of when you first started getting into a media that has since consumed your entire life

rewatching dhmis cuz I wanted to watch s2 cuz i remembered it while watching tadc so here we are I understand it a lot better now I love it

OHHH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS!!! your predictions are sooo good!!!!!!!

also, idek much about germany culture AT ALL but when people were like "let's theorize where they're from" I was like "isn't it germany" like???? thank u for reaffirming my guess because honestly it was just something out of my ass like its vibes were giving germany idk🔥🔥🔥

Let's talk about the clock keepers boundary!

(warning: spoilers until chapter 124!!)

I've had some guess on where they could be from so let's look at what we have in the manga for now. I will keep things on surface level for the most part but it's just some things I noticed!

The first mention of the town is in chapter 111, where we finally have a view on their boundary.

A lot of fans already guessed from their clothes that they were not from Japan, this panel definitely confirms it and even points more precizely to a European country, mostly Western Europe. And also a country where Winter with snow exist.

It's also not an English speaking country, since Akane cannot understand the language and we know he has english classes at school.

Now there are several things we can look at to have more clues!

First, the architecture.

This type of house is called Timbered framed houses. It’s important to note that the roofs on those houses are really really sharp here. Which means theywere built for snow, so it can slide off the roofs more easily. The trees are also pines, something that can be found in a lot of Europe. (wood was needed to be able to create houses made of wood/with visible Framework( Little note: I know Italy was a guess for a lot of person because of the link to Pinocchio, but Italy main material for houses is stone not wood. And it is also not known for its winter.)

Here we can also see bricks which is something more associated to countries like Germany, Belgium or the Nertherlands, we don't have the colors so we can't guess from which minerals it was made for now.

But we have even more informations when we look at chapter 124!

The bridge and tower may be inspired by a fortified city, something that you could find A LOT in Western Europe during the middle age, not a lot of cities still have their entire walls but you can still see it if you go into old medieval towns. We can also see something that looks like a Belfry on several panels. Towers used mostly to indicate each passing hour of the day (may be a campanile or a bell tower (the difference is wether it's linked to religion or not basically)

Second! Let's do a little bit of clock making history!

I won't go into details, but there are some countries to point for this. England, The Netherlands and Germany. We already took out England before and we can easily erase Nertherlands from the list with the next step (my favorite one).

The food! I already had my suspicions confirmed with this bonus art from volume 22.

First of all, they have tea which is not something that was in Europe before the XVII century. But let's look at the sweets they have here.

Chocolates which look close to Belgian chocolate ( I say Belgian but other countries' chocolate is pretty close to it) , Christstollen Cake, and Spiztbuden.

We have even more to look at with the new chapter! And they confirm that it's indeed a stollen cake.

With all these foods it's now pretty obvious which area the clock keepers are inspired from.

Stollen cakes are German cakes, ginger cookies are from Germany too. I will also add that there is a chance the crescent moon cookies are VanilleKipferl. We have another panel showing Sausages and bread. Only the Almond is something not typical from Germany but which clearly was all over Western Europe with trades.

Their city already looked like the 'perfect christmas city' you can see in movies, inspired by German culture. And they also mention Mulled Wine which is THE beverage to take in any chritmas market in Europe.

Chritmas markets are inspired and coming from Germany first, but I wanna point something more.

My main guess was, Nuremberg, the city where the ancestor of the pocket watch was created, the Nuremberg Egg. It's also a Fortified city and it has forests around it. It's also known for its Ginger cookies!

So Germany would be a great pic, but the more I think about it the more I can also see the link to another region: Alsace.

Alsace is a region from France right now BUT it's a mixt of german and french culture (I will not make a history lesson but it is a place that always switched between France and Germany basically, now it's French).

All the food mentionned before are also made in the Alsace region!

It's situated in the Vosges, a chain of mountains known to have a lot of forets of pines and which is known to have villages like this:

Which were also the main inspirations for movies like Howl's moving castle for example. You can see the similarities between the artchitectures

The first ever Chritmas Market was in Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace, when it was German and it spread accross Europe after.

I will now look at something I usually don't do because I exclude Aus from canon but it's just a funny thing to point out.

This au shows a snow town inspired by ginger bread houses. I just find it funny because Aoi is shown as a baker, with bread (which are not baguette I think, it's way larger here) but with some croissant on her table (disclaimer: Croissant are not french at first, this form here is, but it's from Austria otherwise) And Kako clearly has something similar to a Wine bottle in his hands. This au is the only one featuring them, was given with their volumes and the vibes are really similar to their boundary.

I would say no matter what it's definitely closer to German culture but I wanted to point out this region which is known for it's Christmas season and its typical houses.

I will mostly say that it's an inspiration from this region of Europe, I don't know if a real country is the reference for it since we don't even know where tbhk takes place, but it's always funny to look at those things :DD

Little bonus:

In a more messy note, the clothes. I put them at the end because besides their hats, I had no idea how to describe it, since it seems pretty typical of what people could wear in winter.

I did the research in the other way, to look for German and Alsacian clothing to see if it match and it kinda does but I don't think it's speficific to this region. The girls wear classic white Charlotte and big clothes with layers for Winter.

The clock keepers clothes are different, it looks like a mixt of Japanese and western European clothing (especially from england).

Their main outfits for Akane and Kako really just look like a typical waistcoast/costume you can find in the XIXth century in Europe and Mirai's seems more inspired by a mixt of a Kimono with several layers(she also has sandals and frills) and a coat? The little knots Kako and Akane have on their coats look like something inspired from Mizuhiki knots too (I actually saw a costume with those exact same knots in a museum but I didn't take a picture rip)

So I would say they probably changed slowly their attire when they arrived in Japan, we don't know since how many times they are here, but we know that what is happening in the deeper place of the boundary is linked to memories previous to their arrival. According to their origin I think we can say that it's pretty sure they arrived after the Meiji/during the Meiji Era in Japan (1868/1912), since it's a this time Japan mostly imported Western culture (for clothing here, the first contact was before this. And note: it was mostly rich people who dressed like this). And If we look at some others dates like the things they are eating, used to have or even their clothes, I would say it's more probably the Meiji Era and not in the XVs.

Another note is that their clocks have the numbers written in japanese on it (in the og version but it maye just be so it's readable for the japanese readers? idk if it's a choice or not).

I haven't searched much on their clothes but it was still something I wanted to note here ^^

It was an interrogation room.

Man.
