I'm agree with your meta about gods ready to take choice away from the family who worksips Father. And how it's bad and kinda comfirm what father accuses Heaven to do.
But does Father really care for this family, does he really see them as egal? He sees people as tools (Yato, Nora, Yukine, ect..), he abused his own child (Yato, Nora) and manipules them into thinking that that's love, as soon that someone isn't agree with him anymore, he resort to manipulation, abuse and violence and sometime murder. He helped to plot Bishamon murder/forced reincarnation (failed) and planned Ebisu forced reincarnation to take the koto (sucess). He doesn't care how much people, shinkis or gods suffer or die as long he has what he want.
Ebisu and Take face a choice right. But do they have really a choice in the matter? Father can't be stopped otherwhise. He's dangerous. He says that he wanted to strike gods but doesn't care how much humans will suffer in the way. What he did with Yukine and the net was not good (for me it was a kind of brainwashing).
Yes they were ready to took the choice away and that's bad, tht's what Father accuse the gods of. but i think that they didn't see any other choice they weren't happy about it. They come with the idea to destroy a grave only.
It's not like if Father was benevolent, sadly because then this choice woudn't happen. Even if the godness of sun herself treated him a a child doing a tantrum, he's very dangerous.
Yeah all is a matter of choice. A horrible and unfair choice. Yato would have cut the bounds against their will, but Take can't do that.
The gods had the choice to kill the familly and cut the way to come back to life of Father, or leave them and having a dangerous guy causing havoc and destruction, and not only to gods but to humanity too (i mean with what happen in the last chapters, the gods face a even worst choice to protect humanity from Father's plan). What they could have done? It's not like if they had more time to think about it.
And this choice is horrible. And Take and Ebisu weren't happy to have this choice to do. And i'm happy that they didn't need to kill them. Take himself said that he felt bad to have manipuled the old man into make him believe that they would do the soul ritual after his death (they can't since they're gods) but they needed to cut father's way to come back again and again, because nothing else can stop him.
what do you think?
It's not a critic of your meta, i just wanted to share my thougths with you about the whole situation =)
(in reference to this post)
i agree with some of your points, but i don’t think whether father cared specifically for that family or not is pertinent to the situation. he cares (and i use that term lightly) about humanity in general, not specific people, similarly to how gods do (tenjin saying “gods are incapable of loving humans” lives in my brain bc it applies to all gods, but also to father and that could tie into ‘becoming what you hate’ but i digress!). he uses yato, mizuchi and yukine as tools, though i believe he does love them (or at least, he believes he loves them) in his own semi-fucked up way. he holds anger towards gods and their associates for holding up and reinforcing heaven’s system, which father perceives as fundamentally unfair and wrong, so i don’t think him planning the murder/reincarnation of gods really speaks to whether or not he cares about humanity. to father, gods and humans are completely separate entities, and what he does to one isn’t necessarily what he’d do to the other. every ‘wrong’ or ‘morally reprehensible’ or ‘shitty’ thing we’ve seen him do has been to gods, shinki, or associates of gods like hiyori, which likely makes him lump them into a single category. even if hiyori’s human, he still can’t see her as anything more than someone associated with heaven (+ him not caring about specific humans, just humanity in general)
ebisu and takemikazuchi just having and considering the choice of whether or not to kill/sever the ties of that family proves them to be what father believes all gods are, regardless of intentions. and really, i think intent is the least important part of this discussion! it’s the fact that gods are above humans in pretty much every possible way, and they can use that power as they see fit, because “a god’s decision is always the right one”. it’s about the fact that ebisu and takemikazuchi (and any god, for that matter) can takes lives, sever ties, and completely alter the life of humans with zero consequences. it’s about the fact that the humans have no input on a decision that can permanently alter their lives, and how they most likely won’t even realize what was taken away, or will forget, due to the separation of the near and far shore (think hiyori completely forgetting about yato and yukine when yato goes back to father despite the fact that they changed her and her life).
it’s a morally gray situation, and arguments can be made for either side. if gods are so above humanity, why are they incapable of stopping a human like father? if heaven isn’t unjust, why should kind people like that family have to suffer? does heaven not fully take father seriously specifically because he is, or was, human and isn’t on their level? should takemikazuchi and ebisu even be able to consider that choice, and not have to tell the people affected? does them feeling guilty absolve them of the fact that they manipulated a human, a being who is supposed to be beneath them, yet they’re supposed to serve? are the humans in the wrong for calling father again and again? should they even be judged by heaven’s standards if they don’t know the whole situation? does the situation absolve takemikazuchi and ebisu of the cycle, or are they perpetuating it anyway? should ebisu and takemikazuchi be judged for perpetuating the cycle when it’s all they’ve ever known and they’re products of a system? do the ends justify the means? like i wrote in the tags of that post, the immediate dilemma of the situation was the question of whether their needs (killing father) were worth taking a choice (without consent) from someone else, and if it was an okay to do it if the affected party wouldn’t even realize that a choice was taken away. and this, of course, can lead to bigger discussions like this one jaja
it’s a super complicated situation and an argument can be made for either side, and that’s at the core of the manga itself, which i love! thanks for sharing your thoughts! i love discussing noragami <33

wait! For everyone mad/upset/unhappy at the Noragami ending!
SPOILERS:
He cuts ties with hiyori and she forgets him… but does she really????
He goes “viral” and people “remember” him so he lives but does he really…..
Here’s my hot take: in that moment SURE yeah maybe a bunch of random people heard and remembered “oh that guy said he was a god ,sure yeah I remember seeing that” FINE.
But that’s not what keeps him alive.
Hiyori may have lost her memories but she sure as fuck remembers something. And it seems she ponders on it constantly. THATS what’s keeping Yato alive. I’m 100% positive regardless of whether he knows it or not.
And in some sort of maybe bittersweetness, I think we obviously know by the ending they’re reunited and she remembers everything (CANON by the picture of them all together in the ending in her doctors outfit being the literal ending) that being said…. I’d like to think she continues her life, and she continues loving yato by her literal FATE TIED TO HIM BY THE MATCH MAKING GOD. So here’s the maybe sweet? Bitter ?depending on your view part.. when hiyori dies maybe yato will die with her in some beautiful way? Instead of yato living on forever without her ..( assuming no one else would remember him who’s living) it’s very “ the notebook” coded in my head since I want the match making to be eternal, but anyway here’s to hoping it gave us yatori shippers some kind of resolution and covering up the dumb plot hope of him going viral lol.
Open to discussion
Thanks for reading!

Just read FGO Götterdämmerung
Aka the Otome Lostbelt as I read somewhere
Also apparently the Attack on Titan Lostbelt.
I said "just read" but in reality it's been like 3-4 months. I didnt have time to put all my thoughts together and I needed a lot of it to actually form any thought lol.
Up till now I've refrained to comment on the Gotterdammerung story that I've never actually read. So now that I've read it myself, now I understand why many think this lostbelt's story is rather weak. I honestly think it's weaker than its predecessor, LB1.
A long time ago, I theorized that Lostbelts stories will explore about love and different aspects of it. While most of my theories are proven wrong, for a lostbelt that specifically does have love as its central theme, I feel like it could have been...more.
Or more accurately, LB2 feels like it bites more than it can chew.
The LB talks about so many love, be it motherly love, romantic love, sisterly love, friendship love, even godly love. Yet in my personal opinion, only the sisterly and friendship love deal a huge impact on me.
Idk why, but even Scathach-skadi's motherly love (the kind of love that's a sure fire way to make me cry) while mentioned over and over again, it just fall flat to me. Only at the end of the story do I feel sorry for her. I feel like I was more heartbroken when I read her chapter in Nakatani-sensei's From Lostbelt manga.
I was also waiting for someone to mention "Gods can't love humans" (Ahem, Noragami reference here), pointing out how she maintains her world by sacrificing 15 years olds and 25 years olds to be eaten Attack-on-Titan style. Even though she has no choice but to do so, and the reason she maintains the world in the first place is because she loves everything in it, does her love justify the means? Isn't the only one who can do something like that someone -something- not humane? Is that what differs God's love to Human's love? Is that even "love"? I was hoping it'd be at least discussed even though we all know she really would not do it if there was any other way.
Ophelia muttering how she shouldn't think about love and can't fail like Kadoc, implying her train of thought being Kadoc's downfall was caused by the love between him and Anatasia, and turns out love saves her lostbelt and becomes her salvation as well as Kadoc's. Oh poetic cinema.
I kept thinking to myself "does the love triangle (quadruple?) necessary for this chapter?" and after awhile, I came to my own conclusion: yes and no.
Yes for Surtr -> Ophelia and Ophelia -> Wodime. No for Napoleon -> Ophelia.
This is not a "What if asshole boy A falls in love with girl B but chooses to be mean to her out of emotional problems and 1000 other reasons." This is a "What if boy A is literally made, knowing, and capable of one and only one thing: destroy the world, and he falls in love with girl B?" Surtr is exactly written with that concept. Ngl I think that's a good logical outcome that he ends up like this: Showing his love to Ophelia by destroying the world harder.
Although he sure is mean. Odin didn't forget to give him nasty personality befitting the "villain" of the world lol.
I can't deny, a meeting at the end of the world destroyed the same way is rather romantic, if I may say so.
As for Wodime, I do believe that romantic love can drive someone to undergo a great change, positive or negative. For Ophelia who has always remained stagnant, her feelings for Wodime becomes her drive for many things she does. Halfheartedly or not, cowardly or not, she pushes herself forward, she makes decisions on her own, whether that is a wrong way or not. And ngl if I was in Ophelia's shoes and saw what she saw when they were all dead, I think I'd fall at least a little with Wodime too lmao.
As much as I love Napoleon's vibe and bravado, I don't get why he falls in love with Ophelia. I don't think the explanation that this Heroic Spirit Napoleon will always search for someone to love in his incarnation is enough to justify it. Not even the "he thinks she's asking for help" thing, that could be written as a non romantic motive and still works just as well to show how heroic and good-natured Napoleon is. There is no reason why it is a romantic love. I know love sometimes has no logic or reasoning but usually a party has to DO something that personally MOVES the heart of the other party.
But I admit Napoleon and Surtr immediately trash-talking each other as love rival is funny.
Besides that, Napoleon is amusing and great buddy. And the scene with his trump card ... Truly a hope bringer, befitting the title Good Fellow of Everlasting Flame.
Ophelia's genuine feeling for Mash is very interesting actually. I understand her POV of wanting to befriend Mash because there are few girls in Team A (and Akuta is very aloof). How she wanted to befriend Mash yet couldn't close the distance but still tried to anyway, and said feeling still exists even now that it actually stops her from going all out because she couldn't bear hurting Mash and truly treasures her. I feel like it wasnt enough for them to really be tight friends, but if only they had more time, they really could have been such :''
And Ophelia regarding Fujimaru with high respect as their Senpai is pretty heartwarming to me. No wonder in Lostbelt no. 5..... ah...
Sigurd: I've been tricked and taken advantage again I'm a sorry excuse of a hero. Brynhildr: No you're not. Me: Well I actually agree with him on this one but sure whatever u say Mrs Wife
I've been screaming about Sigurd/Brynhildr in this chapter ever since this chapter was out and I will scream it harder now. Even if my teeth rot because the sheer diabetes their interaction gives.
Once, I wondered if Sigurd was an asshole because of what happened to Brynhildr. After Gotterdammerung is out, he's literally best husband he'd die for Bryn but he'd also survive her love-translated-into-murder to prove he loves her. How much he loves his wife and loves to declare it is actually starting to be embarassing, even for Brynhildr lmao.
Giving Sigurd (and by extension Surtr) the voice of THE Tsuda Kenjirou is one of the best decision Type Moon ever makes.
Brynhildr's flashback of her rampage gives me so much chill even though there are no visuals of it. So much that I made a fanart of it. That she might have murdered children and women in blind fury, even though earlier in the chapter she is shown to be great with children and The Model Valkyrie herself just makes a great juxtaposition to show how much love -and being human instead of divinity- steers her to deep end.
The reenactment of her myth (sleeping in the castle surrounded by fire) but this time there is no prince (Sigurd) waking her up but she wakes up and saves herself and others is nice.
Brynhildr and the her sisters interaction is also great. The valkyrie's (I assume it's mainly Ortlinde's POV but really it could be anyone in the group?) lamentation of the past, how Bryn changes from the gentle ice to harsh fire, how they all both feared and envied how much she could change after gaining a human heart, and how they end up gaining that very same heart, it's so tragic yet satisfying as it comes full circle with Thrud and Hildr committing suicide out of broken love just like Bryn did in her myth. Ortlinde freaking out and later coming to terms with everything and choose to fight for what she believes is also in line with them as automata gaining a heart.
Oh and I like the Icy Fire concept here, both literally (the world is covered in fire overlaying Scathach-Skadi's snow, and what happens to Surtr later) and metaphorically (how love can make someone's emotion running wild as cold as ice and as hot as fire)
I DIDNT KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN GERDA'S ART FROM ROAD TO LOSTBELT 7 :'''''''''' That scene is so sad yet so beautiful...
Gerda is basically an innocent child character to be protected. Yet her innocence is also what makes it unsettling that she believes whole-heartedly about the Ordained Day and the short lifespan the people have. Goredolf's rant about how could she, and everyone in her lostbelt, can be okay with any of that, while purely an emotional outburst that's like getting angry at a child who knows no better, raises many points and chilingly resonates well with the concern of the Chaldea members.
I like how Sitonai appears, but I wish she can appear more. The name Illya just brings so much memories... And she even appears with a mother in the form of Scathach-Skadi, just like the original Illya with Iri. It's funny tho that Sitonai is understandably a bit cranky and cheeky with Skadi, unlike Illya-Iri pure doting relationship. Yet the bit where Sitonai ends up missing Skadi just as the Lostbelt disappears is pretty nice.
*snorts* This wouldn't get this long if Holmes just spits out who the hell this Sigurd really is.
Oh, the scene where Surtr breaks out of his prison is scary. Imagine something gigantic comes out of the sun in broad daylight…
And of course the Mystic Eye scene is one of the pinnacle of this chapter. Truly a culmination of Ophelia's development. The voiced version from Flashback Lostbelt no.1-5 MV is even better.
To be able to create 3 spin-off chapters of this lostbelt and deep dive into the psych of each character... Now I understand how much power Nakatani-sensei has.
Napoleon: "Keep moving as long as you still draw breath. You're never completely out of possibilities. There's always something you can do." Everyone in the vicinity:

Writing comissions
Starting price is 20$ for 2000 words (I can consider under that word count if we discuss it but I won't guarantee it)
After that, it's 1$ per 100 words (per example a 5000 words comission would be 50$)
For anything over 5000 words I will ask an extra 5$ due to taking a longer time to complete it. So something like 6000 words would be 60$ plus the extra 5$.
I can take from two weeks to a month or more depending on how long the comission is or how detailed/complicated or if it requires a certain headspace (for example major character death). If it's something short/an idea I really like and it motivates me it can be done in less than two weeks.
I can write:
SFW (it's not my best thing but I can do some pretty good fluff if it involves some angst as well)
NSFW (multiple characters, orgies, detailed kink scenes - though I may ask extra money for that depending on how complicated it is)
heavy angst/MCD
xREADER stuff
your own OCs
original stories/ideas
alternate universe
+ probably more that I can't think of right now
Fandoms I can write for (I'm in a lot of fandoms so if you have an idea for something that's not on the list feel free to message me and we can discuss it)
Genshin Impact/Honkai:star rail/Honkai Impact 3rd
Bungo stray dogs
Jujutsu Kaisen
Tokyo Revengers
Noragami
Toilet Bound Hanako-kun
Anything from MXTX
Nu:carnival
(more fandoms in my carrd)
What I will NOT write
scat
pregnancy
diapers
loss of limbs (unless canon)
terminal illness (unless canon or if its fictional or if I really like the idea)
(might add more to this if I remember it/things change)
Everything else (yes, that includes piss, underage, non-con, somno, whatever fucked up kink you're thinking of) is on the table
My ao3 account for examples of how I write

Okay so me and @summersnowdarling had a huge discussion on discord on fyodors supposed immortality and his ability, which now im sure is called crime and punishment.
Okay first off, we don't think that the flashback with bram is that far back. Probably 17 or 1800s around the time irl fyodor dostoevsky was born, bc 1400s sounds a little too far back lol.
So, there are 2 angles to this,
ONE: fyodor was immortalised by the church either by killing him or worshipping him because of his original ability, the crime.
The main point in both of these is that fyodors actual ability is something destructive, like how he killed ace's bodyguard-i-dont-remember-the -name-of, and that ability he thinks is a crime.
The first point where the church immortalised him is because they believe him to be a reincarnation of jesus, able to take people's life away at will and formed a cult or alike. So when they thought that immortality is a gift, fyodor, who probably hated his ability, thought it was punishment.
Second one is where fyodors ability made the church hate him, hence kill him, but someone brought him back, like noragami Father style. Crime is his ability and punishment is his immortality.
This doesnt have more evidence basis, both of these dont all that much, but it would be interesting to see since fyodor is big on religion and religious symbolism.
TWO: this is my theory, which again, crime is his ability, but his ability is CRIME. whenever he kills someone, their remaining lifespan transfers to fyodor, giving him a longer lifespan, immortality as punishment. This is mostly based off of fyodors monologue in dead apple, where he says "crime and punishment are inseparable, I am crime and I am punishment." (I dont remember the exact words dead apple was one HELL of a confusing novel)
Now for some more on both:
We know fyodor wants to rid the world of abilities. According the first theory, it is highly likely due to religious trauma from either being worshipped as a god and immortalised or killed because of his ability, making him believe all those who have abilities are sinners against God. Maybe he was the only ability user in his hometown, and on top of that he had such a destructive ability.
For the second theory, he just wants to die. We know he's been alive for so long, and probably killed many people, ridding this world of abilities is the way he can die, and probably make sure something like this can never happen again, idk. It probably doesnt make sense story wise, but it fits with whatever has happened in the plot now. Maybe you can also interlinked the two theories together.
Feel free to discuss and disagree, I just needed to put this out there lmao.

Interaction PSA: On Verses & Verse Building!
-- Info pertaining to verses, AUs, verse-buildings, crossovers, etc. This series of PSAs is meant to accompany & further elaborate on some things in my updated rules. I link to them throughout not as required guidelines, but what I hope are helpful snippets for those looking for the best means of interacting! --
♥ I love verses. I love verse-building. I love AUs. That's it, y'all. That's the post. (I"m technically kidding, but it could be.) I love playing in other peoples' verses, I love people jumping into my verses, I love building a verse with a mun whether it's based on a series of canon-divergent what-ifs or taking our muses and throwing them into the setting or situations of another fandom we both enjoy... you name it.
♥ I am happy to write all the threads, in all the verses, all the time. I like having multiple things going on. I have verses that are spin-offs of other verses that only explore a minor deviation in the original premise of the verse. When I say I want to explore our muses in every possible scenario, I mean it - so if you're ever torn on options for a meme, or you've got a "well... we could do this, but we could also do this," situation, there is a high probability I'm just going to send you the "both is good" meme and ask what we're calling both of them.
Seriously. I have enough threads in enough verses going on with @climatact that I had to put together a thread directory. And I love every single one of them.
♥ Exploring canon-divergent "what if" scenarios is my favorite. Off the top of my head, some of the verses I've helped create or been a part of have been based around questions like these (shoutout to those reading their questions or ones we've discussed here, y'all know who you are):
• what if robin had found her way to the north & joined the donquixote family after aokiji sent her on her way from ohara? • what if bellemere had lived, nami had followed in her footsteps to become a marine, law & corazon had had more time together, and their search for a cure had taken them as far as the east? • what if law had stayed with the donquixote family (willingly or not?)
tl:dr; i love them. ask them. let's build verses from them!
♥ Other things I love building verses off of? Shared interests, tropes, and favorite fandoms.
• ❛ Oh, hey. I love Greek mythology. You too? Cool let's build a verse where our muses are gods & goddesses. ❜ • ❛ Found family trope?! Absolutely, let's do it. ❜ • ❛ You watched Noragami too? We should build a Noragami verse for them! ❜
♥ The point is, I love verses. Give them to me - all of them. :3 And for a list of fandoms I'm familiar with, please click here (updated 3/28/2024). If you see anything on it you'd like to explore a verse for, give me a shout! (There are a few on there I'd need to revisit to shake my brain awake for, but I wouldn't mention them if I wasn't interested enough to make a verse up for.)
Other PSAs: Memes, Plotting, On Verses & Verse-Building, General RP Preferences (Coming Soon), OOC interactions (Coming Soon), Mutuals & Affiliates (Coming Soon), ALL PSAs.

Chapter 100 Thoughts (Part 1)
Tumblr media
(Part 1) (Part 2)
Well.
I wasn’t going to do a Chapter 100 Thoughts, but it has come to my attention that my fave isn’t being talked about enough so it is not only my right but also my sworn duty to talk about Father as the resident #1 Father enjoyer and Father stan, PhD.
Let’s get right into it without much further ado, shall we?
Dated: June 7, 2022 (technically it’s already the 8th but whatever)
Even though this first scene is such a short one, there is a lot to unpack here. I would say that I’m mildly surprised that I haven’t seen it discussed almost at all on either Tumblr or Twitter, but I understand that most people are either just not paying much attention to Father or write it off as Abuser Tantrum #3294 of this arc.
But I feel like it says a lot in very few words.
First of all:
Tumblr media
I feel like this dialogue beautifully and subtly conveys a dichotomy in Father’s character that throws a lot of casual readers and non-Father enjoyers for a loop.
“Useless... Why didn’t he strike down Amaterasu while she was within his reach?!”
The first, thinking about things in relation to his own personal goals: he wanted to strike down Amaterasu, and is angry that Yukine didn’t do it despite having the chance to - that small “useless” goes a long way to show Father’s perception of people as tools.
“What about his revenge on his father?! You said that you were absolutely not going to let him get away with it, right, Yuuki?!”
But then, the second... it gets a bit more personal in an indirect way. You can learn a lot about Father from the way he talks to and about other people because he notoriously projects very heavily onto other characters, as I’ve talked about in the past with my other meta and chapter thoughts.
And here, it’s especially important since we canonically know that Father sees himself in Yukine - in his mind, they share those feelings of despair and betrayal.
Tumblr media
Chapter 96
So with that it feels less about his goal and more about Father’s perception of Yukine - and his perception of their relationship, in a way. They are two sides of the same coin and Father could never give up his revenge, so why is Yukine thinking of giving up? Wasn’t he going to make them pay, like Father wants to make the ones who had put him through so much pay?
This displays very well how these two sides of Father exist concurrently with each other: on one hand, thinking about the goal, about what other people can do for him; on the other... something wholly more personal. More raw and vulnerable.
And, of course, that “damn traitor!” on the bottom... the “personal, vulnerable, raw” side of Father escalates even further on the next page:
Tumblr media
Before we actually talk about this page, I feel like I need to put the timeline of Noragami into perspective here because it can feel elongated due to the slow update schedule:
Father has first talked to Yukine in person maybe a week ago in canon. One week. Hagusa has been Father’s shinki for two days, three days tops. These two barely know each other and Father is having such a visceral reaction to this and calling him a traitor and everything... in my opinion, it very clearly indicates there is more going on here than just “my plan isn’t going my way.” Again, two sides of Father that exist concurrently: one is like, what about the goal, you were going to cut down Amaterasu and you didn’t, and the other is like... you betrayed me, you’re a traitor, what about your revenge? (And, implicitly, I thought you were like me.)
I didn’t think that Father would have quite this much of a reaction but I should have known that it was heading this way from this page, which I’ve talked about a few times previously:
Tumblr media
“Poor Hagusa. You thought you had a home, a family waiting for you. But you never did. That’s why you crave them so badly... I can give you what you want. The only home you’ll ever have is with me.” (official trans. because I think it makes it a little more clear)
Chapter 87
This is like, a day into their cooperation as master and shinki. You want a home, you want a family, and I can give you that... knowing what we now know about Father, it is such a self-report.
Tumblr media
And probably why Father is having the reaction that he is. Two orphans, without a home, without a family, so wronged by the world... Father can’t comprehend why Yukine is thinking the way he is. Again, Father is so entrenched in his own trauma and being the meanest fish in the pond as a result of that that he gets incredibly narrow-sighted.
But I digress!
Again, that emotional, vulnerable, raw side of Father taking helm here, and you can tell so very easily by the “Forgiveness is how a loser excuses himself.”
I mean, seriously, oof.
Literally 2 chapters ago Father had an entire internal monologue about how the weak die and only the victors survive, how he’ll expose the GGS as many times as it takes to win, and how he did anything to survive - this is the kind of mindset that Father has internalized not only for himself, because he had to survive as a child and later adult in an incredibly hostile environment (as I’ve explained in my previous post, “On Father and Yato”), but it is also the standard that he has for others. Because that’s how he sees the world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Losing was not an option for Father, because that would have meant death. So, by extension, forgiveness is not an option, either - because that’s an excuse that a loser makes for themselves, which Father cannot be.
And all of this is like, so intrinsically connected to his past, to the whole incident with the monk - his words, “at least try to keep fighting back!”, even brought to mind the imagery of Baby Father wrestling with him on the cliff - where he trusted someone and was subsequently betrayed and, arguably, abandoned, left all alone with no family and no home. It struck an incredibly raw nerve and Father is going into his fight with Yato in that emotionally vulnerable state. This is going to be important.
Tumblr media
I was going to say that there’s, again, that recurring theme of betrayal for Father, but he’s more reacting to Nora calling Yukine by Yukine and Yato by Yato, hence why he says “they’re Yaboku and Hagusa”... but then I realized that his rebuttal here is the response to the notion that they had betrayed him.
(Also, I find the need to again reiterate that Hagusa has been Father’s shinki for 2 days. If it was only “Yaboku”, I would have looked at it a little differently - you could argue it could be something similar to the scene with Hiyori back in the hospital arc where he told her that Yato’s name is Yaboku - but Hagusa? They barely know each other. It’s more than just about that.)
Names are obviously incredibly important in Noragami, not only to shinki, but to gods and humans as well. They embody a person’s entire identity - this is especially true for shinki, whose names were granted by a god (or, in this case, a human-turned-god wielding the Word). Those names are a blessing from their master, and mark the shinki as theirs; and shinki, at least to the gods we see in our main cast, are not just servants but something akin to a family or a clan. They give all members of the group a sense of belonging, as much as they are a sign of “ownership.”
And so it goes with Father and “Hagusa” & “Yaboku” - those names are something he bestowed upon them, they are intrinsically tied to him. I think, in a way, Father is desperate to know that someone is on his side. I think that’s going to have to be something I elaborate on another time because my brain doesn’t want to put my thoughts together in a cohesive and comprehensible format.
(Ironic thing is, Father does have someone who is in his corner unconditionally - Mizuchi. But Father overlooks her so much that he doesn’t really see that. I hope Father will actually get hit with the realization after hearing her say “I love you, Father” to him. Honestly, I think part of why he seems to be so indifferent towards her is because he can’t relate to her like he can to Yukine, and she’s not his child in the way that Yato is; Father said himself while naming her that he wanted someone who knew no good nor evil - that makes her malleable, perfect for progressing his ultimate goal, but that makes her not have much of a sense of identity herself, and certainly no shared experiences with Father (in his perspective).)
Before I get into The Fight (TM), the man himself, the main course of the evening, I gotta say this:
Tumblr media
I just realized that Father knew about Yato’s relationship with Kazuma this entire time. That perfectly demonstrates what he says on the next page about being permissive with Yato and letting him hang out with whoever he wanted. Well played, Adachitoka-sensei.
Okay, before I get into the fight... (sorry, wall of text)
I’ve briefly talked about this before on here and on Twitter but I really do think that “Father’s and Yato’s relationship is abusive and toxic and manipulative and Bad” is a genuinely boring lens to read their relationship (and the relationship between Father and Mizuchi & Yato as a family unit) through.
Yes, it is an objectively true take on their relationship, one that literally every single reader (and even non-reader) of Noragami will agree on, including Father “stans” (using the term very loosely here) such as myself. It’s painfully obvious that this is what their relationship objectively is. But looking at a relationship purely through an objective, matter-of-factly lens will often overlook a lot of a relationship’s complexity - or, putting it simply, the emotional dimension of it: what the characters have individually gone through and how that shapes their perceptions of the world and of other people, how they see their relationship individually and as a whole, what they think and feel about the other, etc. Those aspects are as important to understanding the relationship between characters as the more “objective” dimension is.
For example, I don’t think anyone (or, at least, most Noragami readers... unless you’re a Yukine hater) would analyze Yato and Yukine’s relationship through the lens of only their relationship as master and shinki. It is an objective truth of their relationship, and that relationship isn’t exactly wholly functional - Yato keeps keeping things from Yukine, he named another shinki without his knowledge or consent, and Yukine, on the other hand, has stung Yato so severely that he was on death’s doorstep... three separate times, not to mention Yukine also went behind Yato’s back and got named by another master. If you look at it that way, it’s kinda like... yeah. What a mess.
But that’s not the whole story, is it? Because we also know how Yato’s past abuse influences not only his behavior but also his very perception of the world and himself, we know that Yukine has very deep-seated issues with abandonment and his own baggage from abuse at the hands of the father who killed him (although that’s subconscious for most of the series), we know that what Yato did - esp. during this arc - is because he loves and cares for Yukine, was thinking about his well-being and safety when he went out to fight Father, and Yukine reacted the way he did because, in his eyes, Yato naming Kazuma was betrayal. And, as readers, most people understand that and take that into consideration when looking at that relationship.
What I’m trying to get at, basically, is: why is it that all these other relationships in Noragami are afforded the acknowledgement of their emotional complexity, have all these different factors taken into consideration, while Father’s relationship to his children, esp Yato, is... not?
I get it, it’s not a relationship that a lot of people want to analyze due to the subject matter. It’s a sensitive subject, an incredibly complex one. But on the other hand... so often this relationship is boiled down to only its objective truth: Father is manipulative, abusive, toxic, and does use Yato & Mizuchi for his own ends... and then it is made the only aspect of their relationship: everything that Father does must be manipulation, he only uses Yato for his own ends and sees him as a tool, as a “thing” that he owns. It completely fails to take into account how Father perceives this relationship, what Father’s frame of mind even is (hello backstory), how Yato perceives their relationship and understands it (esp in this chapter, because it revealed so much imo).
It’s like onions, yo! It’s got layers! Looking at a whole, unchopped onion and saying “Wow, guess that’s all there is to it” is not some revolutionary take.
If there is one thing I will defend to the death, it’s Father’s complexity as a character.
Tumblr media
Why am I bringing this up? Because I left a comment on a Reddit thread that was like “finally we got solid confirmation that Father cares about Yato as a son/family and not just a tool!!” and I got a thousand (not rlly) comments being like “how was it confirmed tho”, “Father was lying actually” and I am incredibly petty and need to defend the complexity of my fave. I’ve been thinking about this for nearly 7 years now, I’ve got files on top of files, do not even start that nonsense with me. :PP
And also, it’s great setup for the discussion ahead - to get everyone in the mindset.
(Continued in Part 2.)

hi! i just came to your blog to read your noragami manga chapters analysis and i want to ask something... i feel like i've read somewhere how yato mentioned something like "if yukine was still alive and grew up, he would be taller and bigger than me." nevertheless, i'm not really sure whether it's canon or just me being fanciful hahaha. enlighten me please >.< and if it's canon, do you know what chapter it is? thank you!!
This sounds like it could be true, but I'm sorry, I wouldn't remember the specific chapter if it is, especially since the chapter numbering has become a bit wonky post the hiatus...
My guess would be that this might be back when Yukine's height was being discussed after they discovered the size chart on the doorframe of their family's old apartment?
Maybe?
Sorry I can't be of more help!
Edit: According to @lost-your-mind-in-the-sound , it's chapter 44! Try there!

Hmmm… What to ask? 🤔/lh
1) Between sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and salty, which do you like best?
2) What’s one piece of media you thought you might watch but just never found the time/energy for?
3) Favorite character (from any media) to dislike/dunk on?
Hi Erika! Thank you so much for such a fun ask and for playing my game!
From this Ask Me Any 3 Questions About Myself Game 🥰
1) Between sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and salty, which do you like best?
Definitely salty! I can enjoy the others from time to time, but I think I gravitate most towards salty foods when I'm picking meals or snacks for myself. I actually got a bag of my favorite kind of potato chips as a birthday present this year! It was great! 🥰
2) What’s one piece of media you thought you might watch but just never found the time/energy for?
Goodness, my to-be-read and to-be-watched lists are embarrassingly lengthy... I feel like there's a time and place for certain stories so even things I end up really loving tend to sit on those future media lists for a long, long time. With Fairy Tail for instance, a family friend stayed with us for a while about 5 years ago and recommended it. I finally started it last year 😅 (which was perfect for me because it was really the uplifting and wholesome story I really needed at the time, but it was still a little embarrassing when I reached out to my friend like "hey thanks for that recommendation from 5 years ago. It took a long time for me to actually get around to it, but I loved it!" 😁😂).
Until recently Fairy Tail was kind of "the big thing" on my to-be-watched anime list so I had to think about this one a little bit... but I think I'd say Noragami. I had a friend who was really into it for a while, and I actually watched the first episode with her and liked it. Always intended to go back to actually watch it but kept getting distracted by other things. It's been in my queue for years now... 😅
[This was not part of the question but for manga, Blue Exorcist... I watched the anime and wanted to know what happened so I checked out a ridiculous amount of volumes from my local library (probably around 15 or so)--three separate times! Never got around to reading any of them and had to return them each of the three times. Now I'm too embarrassed to try to check them all out again 🙈]
3) Favorite character (from any media) to dislike/dunk on?
Ooh! This is such a fun question! I actually really love doing this in real life, believe it or not. My sister makes a lot of jokes that I need "Swear Jars" for certain characters because I can just bash them for hours at a time. 😂😅
I have code names for all of them so I don't give my friends spoilers if they haven't seen, read, or watched the story they're from since a lot of them aren't to that level of visceral detestation upfront and my friends would be all "What? Why this character? I know they're an antagonistic character, but...really? You don't like them that much..." (And yes, really! I don't like them that much! But I want my friends to get to have the experience of coming to their own conclusion about things without being swayed by the fact I just can't stand this or that character).
All the code names are various specific and/or unusual forms of milk (i.e. Bagged Milk, Spilled Milk, Moldy Milk ect.). It's a bit of a long story but "The Milks" phenomenon basically started when I completely misread a meme my sister sent me about one of them ("Bagged Milk"), and (after thoroughly teasing me for my silly mistake) she thought it was such a funny insult to this character to call him “Bagged Milk” so we just started calling him "Bagged Milk" when bashing on him (which was one our favorite activities at the time). It just so happened that all of my friends and all of my sister's friends were starting to get into this particular series around this time, and we wanted to have a way to discuss it with them without spoiling things, so when I went to a party with my friends and mentioned to someone that my sister and I call a particular character in the story "Bagged Milk" (trying to avoid spoilers). My friend started laughing and said he knew exactly who I was talking about before having to explain, and the code name quickly took off in my friend group and we all started calling this character "Bagged Milk." 😂 My sister introduced the same thing with her friends too so now we have a very small circle of people who just call this one character "Bagged Milk" (which honestly might be my greatest contribution to the world given how utterly detestable this character is). One of my best friends actually read this entire series for the purpose of discovering the identity of "Bagged Milk," and memes have even been made amongst my family and friends using a picture of literal bagged milk in lieu of a picture of this character. 😅 (My sense of humor is really bizarre at times, friends).
Anyway, after that really round about answer to your question, I'm going to put my actual response under the cut because I don't want to be responsible for anyone's accidental spoilers, but, naturally, I've chosen "Bagged Milk" who is the King of All of "The Milks" and started "The Milk" phenomenon in the first place. I definitely detest him the most and will bash on him for hours and hours and hours (and have so much fun doing so), so I'm going with him. 🥛
(Warnings: Spoilers for Demon Slayer below the cut)
The answer to your question is Doma from Demon Slayer (otherwise known as "Bagged Milk" in incredibly specific, small circles). UGH!! Freaking Upper Moon 2! I can't stand him. I thought about including a picture, but you know who he is and even looking at him makes me feel viscerally disgusted. I fully admit he is a well written villain and an incredibly interesting character. He is even entertaining at times--admittedly he even made me laugh on occasion which only makes him so much more detestable than he would've been otherwise. Admittedly, he is a masterfully crafted antagonist, but I cannot describe to you the complete and utter loathing and disgust I feel for him viscerally, deep in my bones. I have never enjoyed detesting a character this much (and probably never will again though I do enjoy bashing on the other "Milks"), and I have literally bashed on him for hours and hours at time. (It's one of my favorite things to do with my friends! 😁) I will spare you from me doing that here, but yes, Doma deserves to be bashed, detested, disliked, and dunked on. And I have taken it upon myself to do so which is why I need a "Bagged Milk" swear jar... 😅
Also for your trouble, please have this poor quality meme that was being passed around between my friends at the beginning of the "Bagged Milk" phenomenon... 😂

Hi, goodnight
Just out of curiosity.
Which other anime/manga you watch/like?
I know about Yuumori and
Jeweler Richard? (Not sure about the name). But I am curious of what else.
(It's The Case Files of Jeweler Richard)
I haven't been watching as much anime as I'd like to have lately, and trying to list off all the anime I've ever watched would take forever and also be largely useless because I'm old (no) and have been a fan of anime for a long time, but.
Let's see. Stuff I like but don't really like in a fandom-y way that's easily bloggable:
I started watching Dr. STONE the other week became very enamored with it. I've caught up on the anime and am waiting for the next season while I debate getting the manga.
I'm currently keeping up with The Devil Is a Part-timer, but I liked season one many years ago more, tbh.
I also watched Science Fell in Love so I Tried to Prove It recently, and it was...okay? Kind of got worse as it continued, so I ended up feeling mostly mediocre about it.
I love Tiger & Bunny and am waiting for the second half of season two.
I love Noragami, although the pandemic massively disrupted my ability to read the manga because I'd been getting it from my library.
I, of course, adore Yuri!!! On ICE, although I've fallen out of the fandom for it of late.
I spent a lot of time in Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic obsession, but whew boy is that one a problematic fave. Gurren Lagann is sort of in the same category although I like it more and complain about it less.
I watched Banana Fish. Liked it a lot. Kind of have mostly negative opinions about it, but there's still some good stuff in it.
I like Kyo Kara Maoh even though it's old these days. It still holds up, in my opinion.
Eden of the East was one of the first series I went to a convention panel on to listen to a discussion of the philosophy of the series (I'm sorry, I'm a nerd; it's a good series, okay?)
I've historically enjoyed Free!, although let's be honest: season three was pretty trash.
I saw Sk8. It was a fun 6 hours or so. Kinda over it.
One of my longtime favorite manga is Dragon Knights, which no one ever seems to have heard of.
And a lot of other stuff I have enjoyed over the years! I just don't blog about everything I like. I don't have time, frankly, and not all of it would make interesting blog posts.
And, look, the way I engage with fiction is very deep and energy-consuming. I don't have time energy to keep up with as many series as some people.

# 004. — please be aware that while my commissions are open, it is a first come first served bases. on that topic, if commissions ever become overbooked they will close momentarily until i finish what i have. after that they will be reopened.
# 005. — with all of this said, you are not required to pay for the commission until it is complete. then you will proceed with payment, and the commission will be then sent to you!
# 006. — payment will only be accepted through the following ways! venmo, paypal, and apple pay. i am open to discussion!

I haven't read TLT, but I imagine John The God and Father The Sorcerer (from Noragami) in the same room would be horribly awkard for anyone unfortunate enough to be there; the thinly veiled passive-agressiveness would be so thick you could easily suffocate! Their bitchiness would finally find its match.
Anon you are SOOOOO ON POINT for this. They have the same "human who has cheated fate and managed to become the biggest nuisance in the world while abusing various kids and spewing jokes as he "parents" the main character" thing going on. John even has his own dead wife character who inspired his road to "justice"! My friend and I were literally discussing it the other day lol
