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!

we as a fandom completely glossed over this, *I* MANAGED TO COMPLETELY NOT NOTICE THIS BUT LOOK. TERU BACKSTORY PEEK

this is so sad... back then he was probably just like kou, not wanting to see supernaturals as inhumane monsters but if he doesn't do that he won't be able to protect his only family 😭😭

looking at the panel, it seems that the supernatural and the girl were probably friends but (maybe like mitsuba?) the supernatural tried to harm the girl and so teru had to kill them while hearing both the girl pleading and crying and the supernatural apologizing... even if he was persuaded for a moment he couldn't have gone along with it because he has a job to finish.

Teru's way of thinking is a DEFENSE MECHANISM. If he doesn't see supernaturals as inhumane beings, then he won't be able to protect his family. If he doesn't work hard enough, Kou would start doubting, Tiara might get taken to be trained as an exorcist.

His way of thinking isn't out of hatred, it's deep-rooted fear.

(And he himself probably hasn't realized it.)

I used to give a fuck and look where that got me

They should kiss

i've been thinking about this for a while, and i wanted to write about it, soooo:

a quick little essay on the two mitsuba variations, 三葉 and ミツバ, and why they aren't as seperate as some may think!

let's gooooo!!! (・∀・)

i've noticed that in the fandom, some people tend to fall into two camps regarding the two different versions of mitsuba: either they don't recognize the differences at all and mix up the two's traits, or they go the extreme route of believing that the two mitsubas are completely different characters who can't be regarded as one character no matter what. personally, i think both of these are wrong, but in different ways, and i want to share my opinion!!

personally, i view sousuke mitsuba & no.3tsuba (the term i use for the supernatural version) as two different entities, but not two different characters, with both of them being two sides of the same character arc coin, if you will. they are fundamentally different in terms of physical circumstance, with sousuke living and dying as a human and no.3tsuba being entirely supernatural, but the core character motivations and personality within the two are the same. after all, no.3tsuba was made with sousuke's soul!!

the main motivation for mitsuba as a character is the fact that he's lonely and wants friends and a place to belong. this carries over between both incarnations of him, with sousuke being the set-up for no.3tsuba's arc and no.3tsuba being an extension of sousuke's arc. you can't have sousuke without no.3tsuba, and you can't have no.3tsuba without sousuke. fundamentally, they share the same struggles, motivations, and flaws, making them function as one character with one shared character arc who simply has two different incarnations/variations of himself!

(example below)

i think it's now also worth going over mitsuba in the new timeline, and the dreams that he has of the old timeline. instead of just one version of mitsuba being present in his memories, both of them are, sousuke *and* no.3tsuba!! and he regards them both as himself, "the me who's dead" and "the me who became a supernatural." they're both treated as equally mitsuba, both just being different parts/versions of him. and if the mitsuba in this timeline is sousuke, and they're supposed to be two completely different people, then why would he have no.3tsuba's memories? to me, this is because they share the same soul, with no.3tsuba inherently being an extension of sousuke mitsuba and his mind. if aidairo regarded them as completely different like so many fans try to insist, i don't think they would have made such a strong connection between the two.

another thing i want to mention is the alternate universes!! within the alternate universes for jshk, mitsuba is always one character, not two, which becomes interesting when you consider that in the alternate universes, mei shijima & no. 4 are always portrayed as seperate people. so, if sousuke and no.3tsuba really were different people like so many fans insist, wouldn't aidairo do the same for mitsuba? so, considering this context, it seems aidairo themselves regard mitsuba & his different versions as one character, instead of two different people like they do for mei shijima & no. 4

(side note: this point was specifically brought to my attention by my beloved mutual @musicalmoritz!! thank you, roxy)

so, in conclusion: despite the different physical circumstances surrounding these two versions of mitsuba, they still share the same soul at their core and are simply two sides of the same coin, that coin being mitsuba as a whole. thank you for listening to my special interest fueled ramblings!!

GOD BLESS @a-man-in-the-crowd CAUSE THIS COMMENT MADE MY NEURONS FIRE

So we've all been theorizing about Nevermore recently, but I think a big theme, especially in the backstories, is insanity, mental illness, and just generally being seen as unstable.

For example:

Lenore- Literally a mad woman, this one is obvious

Annabel- Panic attacks, hallucinations, and her biggest fear going mad

Prospero- "I'm not neurotic, I'm actually quite sane" and germophobia

Will- He was gay, which I'm pretty sure was seen as a mental illness in his time period (I'm also 99% certain Johnny killed him but that's a different rant)

Montresor- "You've had the devil in you since the day you were born"

Duke- ‼️FAST PASS SPOILERS‼️(this may be a stretch, but I mean Duke had someone who was untrained chuck knives at him, that's gotta make people think you're a BIT off) ‼️FAST PASS SPOILERS‼️

Eulalie- She's a paranormal girlie in a time where possession was still a common term, come on now

Pluto- probably had PTSD or some sort of something from his dad. He felt RELIEF when he died, there's no way he's entirely alright

We don't really know enough about Ada, Berenice, and Morella's backstories to say anything about them 🤷

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THE CONNECTIONS RIGHT???

Why is Annabel able to withstand Ada's 'Fear Itself' ability, you ask? Well, YOU SEE

Annabel's embraced her fears. She's in love with her fears. She's kissed her fears on the mouth. She's definitely fucked her fears at least once. She almost married her fears—

No one does it like HER
