absolutely obsessed with the fact that tsukki works in a museum + is still in university post timeskip because it highly indicates that he absolutely will end up living a double life. personally I am of the persuasian that tsukki goes on to get a masters / eventual doctorate in history (and/or an adjacent field, like archeology, paleontology, anthropology, you get the vibes)
but like I imagine the fucking Sendai Frogs (or any of his volleyball friends) dont exactly enjoy chatting about 9th century kings or 12th century architecture so it just never comes up. except for when tsukki tells them he's going to be missing practice because he's flying to China to a few small villages with local churches and temples to study old medical records and put together a timeline of the opiod wars in less documented places and the rest of the Frogs are just like !!!!!!!!!!! you're doing what now????? and he's just like yeah its a government grant :/ but it'll be nice to get published in this journal and then all of his teammates go home and google him and find the half dozen articles he's published that high school students are citing in their research papers
but then when he's working in the archives and reading through old newspapers a coworker of his comes down and is like "hey kei would you be able to fill in for a docent that called in sick tomorrow? we just need someone to lead a few tours" and tsukki is like "sorry, I booked that time off. the d2 volleyball league starts tomorrow." and the coworker is just like. what?

I was giving Fence Volume 1 a re-read (ah, how far we've come) and realised that we saw Jasper right at the very beginning!
(I think it's Jasper, right? Based on the order they're introduced)
It's not really surprising but a nice detail to notice xD I wonder what they all thought when Nicholas got a scholarship to Kings Row 😄
I just dug this out of my drafts from September 2023 - I think I was too tired to write the alt descriptions and so saved it for later and forgot about it 😅 It's got a photo of volume 1 because this was before I bought the ebooks, but I'm honouring my past effort by keeping it in xD
Every time I see Shin in his baggy sleeveless top and jacket combo, I feel like a victorian man seeing a woman's ankle for the first time whenever his shoulders are exposed.
Still playing around with it, but here’s my Hermes design!!!

Kou's death
He died as the selfless idiot he is, but most of the fandom is missing a part. I've seen so many people talk about Teru and Akane seeing his dead body down the well, but nobody who said this:
He looks comforted by the lightning, some kind of wicked comfort.
"My brother's lightning…" he doesn't look like he feels betrayed, at all.
He was trying to kill Nene, one of his best friends, and he never would've been able to forgive himself if he succeeded. He's glad his BROTHER stopped him, that he was the one to wipe him away from the living world, even tho it was an accident
He finally understands what Hanako and Mitsuba meant by saying they want HIM, someone they trust, to exorcise them. It's hard to imagine as a living person, but as a dangerous supernatural it's as clear as day
What was Kou's best departure, was Teru's worst goodbye
Say cheese!
