One Of My Favorite Things In AFTG Is How The Author Deals With Consent, Particularly Between Neil And

I know it probably won't be the case, but I would love it if, in Tower of God, Arlene is revealed to be a very caring and doting mom to Baam. Like, she can be bat shit crazy and will destroy you for looking at her wrong, but when it comes to Baam, I would love it if she was a caring parent with a legitimate reason for not being around (improsioned or something like that). One, because he deserves a good parent. And two, it would be an interesting character dynamic given that every other parent in the story is competing for the worst parent of the year award.

The first time I saw this when I watched the anime I straight up was like, "Okay, they have that type of friendship." It reads like an inside joke to me. Like they're referencing something from when they worked together, and it just became a running joke that no one else would probably understand.

Bones robbed us of Dazai literally laughing out loud at Chuuya's rich girl act.

“Potential.” Riko slammed Neil against the wall again and whirled on Kevin. Kevin stared back at him, white-faced and tense. “You said that goalkeeper had potential and then wrote him off as useless when I offered him to you...” - The Foxhole Court, Ch. 13.

Nathaniel was given to Ichirou as his private hitman after his skills as a marksman were revealed when the Moriyama tracked him and his mother down after they ran away.

Riko decided to surprise Kevin with matching “pets” after he found out the goalkeeper that Kevin was interested in had a twin.

When Nathaniel is ordered to join the Ravens for a year to cover for a series of hits, his smart mouth meets Andrew’s prickly attitude and things get interesting.

@radiant-7 No historical proof?! Yasuke was a real living, breathing person! He was alive in the 1500s and is famously the first Black samurai! A literal five second Google search will tell you that. How can you have a problem with the creators being historically accurate with what he is most famous for?

Yasuke (Assassin's Creed Shadows)

See, with all the antiblack racism we've been put through over this man's sheer existence, is proof enough that he's excellent Black character design. Everyone rise and give Yasuke a standing ovation right NEOW-

Also, just the Emperor casually outing Jinshi as not actually being a eunuch just to tease him about his crush on Maomao.

Season 4 of Tower of God will be interesting as far as lore building goes. Because Baam's been told about his parents multiple times. Data Edahn specifically told him about V. Cha told him about Arlene. And while Data Edahn probably only knew early V, Cha would've known Arlene (or heard of her) during the Great War. Baam has an idea as to who his parents are. What kind of people they were. So, I'm wondering how much of his interactions with V is going to contradict/reinforce the image Baam has of them in his head.

I understand that you can get burnt out from anything, but there's something ... hollow? about being burned out on what you love. Like, I get that I need to step away from writing sometimes. That I need this burnout period to recharge. But I hate the numbness that comes with it. How bloody unproductive I feel. I can't focus. I can't do anything. I feel like a tiger pacing the length of its cage up and down. Up and down. Over and over. I know there's a point where the bucket is empty, and you gotta let it refill before you can proactively use it, but I hate waiting around for that spark to come back to life. Ya know?

Handcuffs are completely useless when it comes to Soukoku. Dazai appears to be an expert at lockpicking and can escape whenever he feels like it. And if Chuuya can't just break the cuffs, the dude spent almost eight years fighting with his hands in his pockets, so he doesn't really need 'em. So, overall assessment: handcuffs are completely useless on Soukoku.

During the cleanup of Chuuya and Verlaine’s fight, Dazai finds out there was another clone in Facility B and decides to retrieve it while Chuuya is recovering from his first time using Corruption.

Chuuya navigates being in the Port Mafia and taking care of his new little brother, and Dazai navigates the new dynamic in his an Chuuya’s partnership.

Not that Dazai cares ... right?

I know that Baam’s supposed to be like 5'10" 5'11" (according to the wiki and assuming my math is right), but seeing how small he is next to any of the other characters and how excited he got when Jinsung suggested that he grew when they reunited during the Nest Arc just reads (to me) that he's not that tall. Maybe it's my 5'1" ass having a skewed idea of what tall is, but I'd put him at like 5'7" if even. He's a head shorter than most characters. He's a little guy.
