He could be :)
Progress on my Near drawing~
This!! I can’t get over this! It really goes to show how out of touch with reality he is
Light Yagami thinking the authorities would be understanding if his method for protecting his "diary" was to commit arson is probably the dumbest thing he's come up with
the end of the world began on the day adrien agreste turned thirteen years old.
(first chapter is up! happy october)
Is there a list of the books mentioned on Tokyo Ghoul? I don't know if I send the question yesterday. Well thanks. You guys are doing a great job. (´▽`)
Takatsuki Sen’s Works
Takatsuki’s debut work is titled “Dear Kafka”. It was released when Takatsuki was still a teenager and is a bestseller with 500 000 copies.
“Monochrome Rainbow” is a short story collection. Among others, the collection contains the short stories Summer Diary, Resentments and Showers at Sunset (Sayoshigure).
The seventh work is titled “The Black Goat’s Egg”. It narrates the story of a son and his mother, a cold-hearted serial killer called “The Black Goat”.The protagonist is disgusted by his mother’s depravity, but has to realize that he is developing the same cruel impulses. The book combines brutal descriptions with a delicate portrayal of the main character’s mental state. After the organ transplant, Ken Kaneki likens himself to the story’s protagonist.
Her eighth work is called “The Hanged Man’s MacGuffin”, a collection of stories about the life of death sentenced prisoners. Kaneki reads it after the “Banjou incident”.
Books Mentioned in Tokyo Ghoul
Ogura Hisashi - ”New Book of Ghoul Dismantling”
French Gourmet book
Martial arts book
Books Mentioned in Tokyo Ghoul:Re
Franz Kafka’s - ”A Crossbreed”
Actual Books Reflecting Events in Tokyo Ghoul
Kanou’s role in changing Kaneki into a artificial ghoul and his role in Kaneki’s character development mirrors the relationship between Victor Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s Monster in Mary Shelley’s book “Frankenstein”
Franz Kafka’s”The Metamorphosis”, a popular story about a man who slowly transforms into an insect. In some ways, the story sounds similar as Ken goes through the same fate as Gregor Samsa, the main character of Kafka’s work.
The Ghoul Restaurant takes inspiration for tales such as The Restaurant of Many Orders by Kenji Miyazawa, with Kaneki even drawing a comparison between himself and the protagonists of that tale.

Commission i did for @ryuzaki-lawliett !! thank u so much<3 :3
I really love how it turned out hehe
"Call me by your name, and I'll call you by mine."
"Mello,"
"Near."
Thank you @user-null for drawing this, it's amazing <3
I can't stop thinking of a Death Note AU, where Near is an exchange student and travels overseas during the summer to stay in a small town in the countryside. He barely understands the language and has to rely on a local blonde-haired man (Mello) to communicate with him and show him around the place.
They spend the summer going from strangers to friends, to eventual lovers.
@gothgfsandhazbinhotel and I have discussed this crackship pairing on discord and accidentally created this whole thing and I decided to post it XD
Niffty headcanon:
Niffty is desperate for a relationship and has a habit of stalking every man she comes across for a while
She’s not the sneaky kind of stalker, she’s the kind that follows her target everywhere
She’s not the smartest but she’s weirdly good at stalking men
Her victim the man that she currently fancies can never get rid of her no matter how hard he tries, she’ll keep showing up wherever he is
Until she either finds another man to stalk or she forgets about him
Luckily for the men she stalks her attention span isn’t all that great
She ends up stalking Angel Dust too at one point after she finally found out he’s a man
Eventually she sets her sights on Arackniss
Arackniss headcanon:
Arackniss is the “I’m married to my work” kinda man
He’s never dated in life or after-life
The most he’s ever had were one nightstands back when he was alive
And even then they were few and far between
He stopped having even one night stands after he died and has become even more devoted to the family business
Mostly because of deep rooted insecurity that he keeps hidden with an emotionless mask and serious personality
Meaning he secretly believes no one would truly love him and he deserves to be alone
Then Niffty started stalking him
The start of Niffty x Arackniss:
At first Arackniss thought she was doing it for the Radio Demon so he goes to the hotel to confront someone about it
Then Angel tells him Niffty is just like that with men and that she’ll stop eventually
So Arackniss goes about the rest of his days not minding her
He figures she’d lose interest fairly quickly and that he’d scare her off soon enough
After a while Arackniss is sent on a mission (to assassinate someone or do a drug deal or some other mob thing) and he just lets Niffty follow him
It gets bloody and he thought that Niffty would have been scared off by then and run off
But then
She appears and starts cleaning the blood off of him and lecturing him
Niffty: “You didn’t have to make such a mess you know, now your suit’s all bloody!”
Arackniss is shocked
And also kinda touched
Then Henroin finds out
For once he’s a good parent and actually encourages this relationship
Henroin: “About time you got a girlfriend!”
Arackniss is flustered and mortified
Niffty is ecstatic
Nonetheless Arackniss starts to get more and more comfortable with her presence
But then
While Niffty is following Arackniss some demon thought she’d be easy prey
Arackniss has come to care about her and tries to save her
Only to witness Niffty completely obliterate the demon who was more than twice her size
Arackniss is impressed
At that point Arackniss has grown to really like her and sees her stalking as a regular everyday part of his life
But he still thinks she’ll eventually lose interest
He’s secretly scared of that day
Niffty still following him around comes up into conversation with Angel Dust while visiting his brother in the hotel
Angel: “"Wait she's still bothering ya? Man usually she had moved on by now, I think she's serious about ya"
And the reason why she’s still sticking around after so long is because unlike other man, he hadn’t really tried to get rid of her or treated her rudely or like she’s a nuisance
Or like in Angel’s case, made it really clear that he just wasn’t into her
So Niffty has grown to really like him
Since he actually seems to appreciate her presence and the things she does for him
Unlike all the other men who found her creepy
Niffty x Arackniss relationship dynamic
Arackniss eventually does ask her out on a date
Their relationship as a couple starts out pretty nicely
Niffty is ecstatic to be in a relationship with a man
And Arackniss silently appreciates her company
Niffty shares a lot of things about herself to him and just anything that pops into his mind
Except for the really traumatic ones that she doesn’t wanna remember
Niffty tries to get to know him too but he’s not comfortable talking about himself
Niffty doesn’t push him
Arackniss eventually starts to feel bad about not being able to talk to her about himself
Slowly, he does begin to open up to her
Extra:
At some point during their relationship Niffty is confronted by her ex-husband
The ex-husband tries to kill her as revenge for killing him
But Niffty was too strong for him so he decides to break her emotionally
He tells her that it was her fault that he cheated on her
And that any man would cheat on her because she was so repulsive
Niffty becomes withdrawn after that
But after a while she becomes super clingy towards Arackniss
She’s desperate to make sure he doesn’t cheat on her or leave her
So she does the most for him
To make sure that he stays happy with her
Arackniss gets worried about her
But he doesn’t understand what’s going on
Eventually, when he does find out though
He hunts her ex husband down
And double kills him
