I'm glad I got into mahoyaku when I did (ie before main story part 2) because I'm absolutely terrible at not spoiling myself on things so it's rare I get to enjoy the feeling of intrigue upon realising something and knowing it means... something, but not quite what. Like. (Gestures vaguely at Owen Chloe and Rustica) idk what the deal is here and how much of it is literal vs narrative but I am VERY interested in where it's going

#💬#general spoilers in tags ->#when i say 'literal vs narrative' i mean like #theres a lot of things that link chloe and rustica to owens past - specifically him being trapped #and obviously neither were Involved in it due to Not Being Alive at the time but they can still have connections to it #its just a matter of whether those connections exist in-universe or just narratively #(also keep in mind ive not read Every mhyk story bc ive only been here for like two months akdnns)#and the connections are like. chloe and owen are connected bc they were both locked up for a majority of their childhood #the (relevant) difference being that chloe eventually got saved #which is alluded to in 1st anni (the praying + rustica helping chloe through what id say are pretty owen-like thoughts)#and brought up more clearly in pararoid au by having them be trapped in the same place and circumstances #but still having only chloe be saved by rustica #and then theres also like. owens obviously supposed to invoke the idea of sleeping beauty with the briars and being able to temporarily die #bc whats a long sleep if not a temporary death... which is a bit of a leap by itself BUT there IS another step to get there through chloe #because sleeping beauty fell into her sleep after pricking her finger on a spindle #and chloes a tailor with the power to 'induce temporary death'#which links him to owen regardless of the sleeping beauty stuff bc they both have Temporary Death powers #but also again with sleeping beauty - and the thing that made me want to make this post -#i was rereading rusticas affection story and it has the line #'His fingers cover his lips like rose thorns surrounding a castle that has been frozen away in time'#WHICH IS A VERY. SPECIFIC AND WEIRD? WAY OF DESCRIBING THAT?#oh also worth mentioning is that chloes probably based on cinderella. chloe and owen connected through being fairy tale princesses #OH ALSO not important at all but i love the bit in that one event where bradley and mithra are like #'chloe and owen are basically the same person they both have faces and shit'#i bet whoever wrote that thought they were So funny for it. and they are #theres probably stuff im forgetting bc its late and there really is so much to look at and analyse with these three #even if im not able to actually draw conclusions yet #my experience with this has just been that i started realising stuff and then Didnt Stop #anyway. excited for how this all plays out
