Mika moronsexual confirmed!!!

i missed him 🥹 even though it hasn't been long at all

i hope this means we'll focus on him next chapter, along with parent/child interactions with him & angel mika.

but also...why does he have a head, yet almost every other angel does not 🤔

Hiya! This chapter definitely intrigued me with the design and purpose of the city. Idk how exactly this fits in with current events, but I’m definitely interested in how we went from a well-populated angel civilization with ice cream to just The First doing his mad scientist experiments all alone. Especially since it seems like he’s at the top of the angel hierarchy. I really wish we could get his pov that way he could just tell the audience straight up lmao.

The introduction of the Tower of Babel is really catching my attention. God knows I have extremely limited knowledge on Christian theology, but if the name is not just for shits and giggles, I wonder why it seems like the angels were successful in returning to the heavens. If Irc, the tower being struck down leads to different languages amongst humans. So maybe in this case, it’ll lead to different species of the present??

Idk but I’m really curious to hear what you think about all of this.

Okay! I finally got around to the chapter! Thank you so much for your patience.

So... I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this chapter. We got a little progress so I'm happy about that, but again it felt like a lot of the chapter space was taken up with rehashing the same interactions we've been seeing. Character interactions are nice, and with being a monthly manga, you have the luxury of panel space for them, but it just feels like the last... 5? chapters have had an abundance of them. Still though... we got progress so I'm not really upset with the chapter or anything.

Anywho, yeah! The city was interesting. I actually wish that if we weren't going to get a ton of progress this chapter that we would have at least gotten a better feel for the city. We kinda just got "it's a city, it has ice cream, and there's a building called the Tower of Babel. That's nice, but none of that really gives me much of an impression of the city itself. ...That being said, I'm glad it wasn't just a chapter of exploring the city with no payoff so. You know, maybe I'm just being difficult LOL Quick side note, but sometimes I've wondered how OnS would be as a novel instead and this is one of those moments. In a novel, you can put a few lines of description of the city and let the reader fill in the details, but with a manga, what you see is kinda what you get? Not trying to bash Kagami or Yamamoto at all. It's just a feeling of 'we probably would have gotten a bit more about the city had this been a novel instead of a manga'. Word space in a novel is way less than panel space in a manga after all.

Given that the First is also seemingly revisiting his past memories, maybe we will get some of his perspective on things! I lean towards doubt on that, but I don't think it's impossible. Either way, I'm sure we'll get to see at least a little of what the First was up to back then soon... right? Right?? Lmao please don't make me wrong on this.

I'm in the same boat as you anon and know virtually nothing about Christian theology. When they said Tower of Babel, I just thought "that sure is a Christan thing I recognize the name of" and knew nothing else. Now that you say all that though, that does sound super familiar, so I probably knew that at some point? You bring up a good question though. Thinking back on the other imagery we've gotten, I think nods to Christian theology have been relatively loose, like the trumpets of the apocalypse, so maybe there will be a little bit of that involved? Like maybe the tower will end up falling in this memory and it will lead to humanity coming to exist? They don't seem to exist yet and that makes sense. Just had the thought of what if the Tower of Bable falling is what wiped out the dinosaurs? I think I'd cry laugh. Regardless, I am just as curious as you to see how the name will play into things if it does at all.

At the end of the day, I'd say the chapter was fine. Progress is slow but there's some progress, and the setting is interesting so far, so it's not like I'm not engaged. I just hope for more in the near future. The potential for some really interesting stuff is right there! I want the series to deliver.

when you’re on your way home from the shift but one of you almost died

the novel really captures the level of sass between these two in a way the movie simply does not

Natsu actually tried to read Lucy’s book but couldn’t understand some of the more complex words at first so Whenever they were just hanging out in Lucy’s apartment and Lucy was reading a book, Natsu would make her read aloud while also reading the words with her over her shoulder so he could get better at reading. Then when he felt confident enough he started reading Lucy’s book on his own and would also start making random references to it and Lucy’s like ??? How do you know that. And of course when she finds out what he’s been up too she is both incredibly flustered but also very touched <3

not tagging this because i don't want to swing a bat at a hornets nest tonight and also i don't even care that much but it's crazy to me that you'll go into the fallout tag and see people yelling like "you CAN'T tell people not to ship lucy and the ghoul OMG stop POLICING PEOPLE'S SHIPS" meanwhile lucy and the ghoul are by far the most popular ship both in the tumblr tag and on ao3, and i have to sift through a dozen ghoul/reader and ghoul/lucy posts to get to a single gifset. like, my guy, you do you, but you are very clearly in the vast majority here. why are you complaining. who are you even talking to

CSM #124 SPOILERS

So, unless a Denji ex Machina comes in to save the day, Yoru will have to overcome Asa's trauma and really connect with her in order to beat the Falling Devil's influence. Might be easier to just die, honestly.

Also, either Falling is using "fusion" as a food term here, or the Asa/Yoru situation might really be different from being a fiend or hybrid.

croc: so what is it that you want me to give back ?

let me preface this by clarifying i am not anti therapy in any way whatsoever and in fact encourage people to get therapy if they can and even go the extra step to help friends find the right type of therapy that may help them

ok now that that's out of the way.

therapy is bullshit man you go to a therapist saying "hey. i wanna kill myself. can you help me stop wanting to kill myself somehow?" and they go "sure! first step, stop wanting to kill yourself" and you say "well i can't. that's why i came to you. bc i don't know. how to stop wanting to kill myself" and they'll say "that's a shame. i can't help you if you want to kill yourself. that'll be 125$ please"
