Some interesting similarities between the forms of Falling Devil and Darkness Devil.
There’s the use of multiple bodies to create a singular form, the angular shapes, the mantis-leg-like appendages, the sheer height.
These two also share very strong hand motifs, which makes sense for both of them: when it’s dark, you have to feel your way around, usually with your hands; when you’re falling, you try to grab onto something with your hands.
I’m curious to see if the other Primals look anything like these two.
Gordon/Barney/Alyx is really really funny to me conceptually bc it's like, two hot geniuses in their 20s who look at the 40-something smartass who hangs around and go 'yeah that guy. we both want him carnally'
I'm surprised nobody's clipped the entire 30 seconds Jay's on screen in Dragons Rising (at least nobody's clipped it that I've seen) so I did it myself because the clip is fucking hilarious
You can see the lights from whatever game Jay's playing as he walks out of his office
Has Jay ever looked more annoyed. Like literally this must happen on a daily basis because I don't remember the last time Jay looked this annoyed
Jay hears "a weird kid showed up and ran off" and does not give a shit because "it's not our department's problem, STOP BOTHERING ME."
He treats his employees like children. "Then bothering me waassssss ..." "Was ... a waste of your time?" "CORRECT"
"I've got a video g -- some paperwork to file." *runs back to his office*
If he doesn't have amnesia, at the very least he is jaded as FUCK dear lord lmao
They make the reveal the the Manager of Realm Reassignment is Jay so dramatic like it's gonna have an effect on the rest of the season (specifically, they made the music adjacent to a dramatic reveal that would have an effect on the rest of the season) but this is the only time Jay is seen or heard from in the entire season post-Merge and I think that makes it even fucking funnier
Also not related to the humor of the clip but can we appreciate how gorgeous the lighting in this clip is?
Nayuta is so emotive, happy, loud, and a brat. But she's allowed to be all those things. This is all stark contrast to Makima's cold, manipulative, and aloof behavior. Yeah, its in the control devils name and nature to be controlling. However "control" is a concept and choosing what you control is motivated by your environment. Nayuta is controlling through love. She's possessive, yes, however she's doing this to protect what she loves rather than to completely control them ("Denji, every woman you meet tries to kill you, huh").
Denji did a wonderful job raising her and seeing this difference is just the proof.
