I’ve just arrived from uni (tortured), my shoulder is killing me, I completely forgot about the chapter until I got home, I just read it and didn’t really check what is going on in the fandom but the only thing I can say is:

Who is this?

WHO is this?

Who is this???

NO I SWEAR WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE???!!

THE DEFINITION OF LOVE. Building a life together and getting old and dying to go onto the next life

Chapter 130 Guren but I tried to make him look like his 16 year old self and not a middle-aged constipated brick

Original panel utc (Gilbert jumpscare warning/j)

what the fuck did i just se

At a house party just trying to drink your soju in peace, and your rival suddenly gets touchy and clingy 🙄🙄

Like many others I was shocked by the appearance of Guren in the last chapter of the manga. So I pulled myself together and tried to redraw this page in the old style. I based on those chapters where Guren is really young. And..save the end of the chapter

Okay who tf is this and why is he so ugly?!

He’s not my Rigr! T_T

The Flesh in The Magnus Archives is associated with Christianity in MAG 5 - Thrown Away, MAG 19/20 - Confession/Desecrated Host, MAG 58 - Trail Rations, and MAG 130 - Flesh, and I think that's very interesting, because I started thinking about it yesterday, and I knew that The Flesh was associated with Christianity, but I have Thoughts.

There's a lot of stuff with Catholicism, with the whole eating the flesh and blood of Christ in MAG 19/20. There's also the Lord's prayer appearing in MAG 5 and MAG 58. And then of course the Gnostic temple in MAG 130.

There's also the whole mormon -- and probably other types of Christianity -- idea of heaven stripping away all your flaws, which is actually pretty horrifying if you think about it, and if you're not good in the eyes of God, then you won't go to heaven, and that's often just not being allocishet and other similarly fine things to be and do. And like in the season 5 Flesh episodes, a lot of it was wanting to be seen as useful and good to others at the expense of yourself, and that came with body image issues, and literally marching to your own death -- because if you don't, then you'll be not useful and dead.

I'm not entirely sure how to articulate my thoughts here, but I am thinking. Sure am thinking. Please, think with me.

(AND yes this is an @a-mag-a-day thing, bc MAG 130 got me thinking)

Ferid Bathory - Ch. 130

hitoshi art from recently bc I will probably not finish chapter 5/6 before September <3

[first one is for this playlist]

this should be a given, but as an impatient mf the annoying part of getting into one piece is seeing the fandom talk about some of the more beloved and badass side characters and knowing that you still have 368 chapters to go before you even meet them for the first time.

I can't believe me and Ferid agree on anything 😭

absolutely TERRIFIED the time skip will be like all the way to daenerys or something

i can put your fears to rest bb ❤️ it's 4-5 years ❤️

so this really is some million year old selfsest thing
