Characters/people/??? I Get Gender Envy From But It Gets Progressively Worse

Ngl for a second I thought the picture was the character chosen and I thought the joke was that annabel had won for both-

Nevermore won two Ringos this year:

Well deserved.

Berenice appreciation post time I love her spectre so much my past 1920s hyperfixation is thriving

My nevermore s2 predictions

Uh oh I platonic’d your romance plot they’re declaring a sense of relentless devotion to eachother completely devoid of any romantic intention tehe

Prosperos rats be like:

I love the nevermore tumblr fandom cause like I’ll see a bunch of someones posts and like them and check out their account only to see the same person liking and reposting my posts it’s so cute small fandoms are fun

Omg nevermore post this is crazy

Anyway I want to share a song from my prospero playlist, beneath the mask by lyn (from the persona 5 ost) this song has lyrics directly referencing the masque of the red death by edgar allan poe which if you didn’t know is the story prospero comes from :D

Heres the lyrics that directly reference the story

In the masque of the red death the kingdom the prince prospero oversees it facing a plague and the rich avoid it by hiding away in their homes which the poor cannot afford prospero grows bored waiting for the plague to pass so he hosts a masquerade (“at poe’s masquerade”) at the masquerade a figure appears wearing all red and a mask of a corpse prospero is offended by what he assumes is a cruel joke so he unmasks the offender (“please don’t take off my mask”) only to find there is nothing underneath (“I have no face to show”) the figure was a manifestation of the red death itself and everyone in the masquerade had just been infected

I was playing persona 5 sitting in cafe Leblanc and listening to this song when I was like “poe’s masquerade??” “Masque of the red death???” “PROSPERO!??!?!” Just wanted to share ^-^

(oh also this is an oversimplification of the masque of the red death I skipped a lot of the details and didn’t get into the themes at all please go read it yourself or find a more detailed summary its so good)

Ngl there are a lot of webtoons I read and will probably never find again because I used to use webtoon signed out and deleted if off my phone at one point and my read history is just gone

The amount of canvas webtoons that are like impossible to find is sad

I was thinking the same thing when the authors mentioned there being another category all the students fit into the only person who doesn’t make sense to me is theo. The deans mention theo having gone to the academy before lenore I have two possible explanations for this

1. Theres a different characteristic for each class that comes through only this class is murder victims

2. Maybe there was foul play in theos death thats yet to be revealed

theory time: what unites all the students at nevermore academy?

tw: death, violence, blood, all the bad & sad stuff.

considering that nevermore academy is a kind of purgatory, there has to be a reason why it holds such a small number of people. in this realm must be plenty of places where different people, united by one characteristic, end up after death. this was also confirmed by the authors.

for a long time now I've been following the theory that all the characters of "nevermore" are united by the way they died. namely, they all were murdered.

almost from the very beginning of the story we were aware that annabel lee was murdered. the same thing was stated in the latest chapters too.

ada was clearly also brutally murdered by the nobleman she loved. the poor girl's body was probably never found. I'm afraid no one really looked for it though.

recently we also learned that duke didn’t just drown. his magical performance was sabotaged by a person unknown to us.

the cause of pluto's death was not specified in detail, but I'm inclined to believe that he was strangled by his tyrant father (and my baby felt a huge relief, I'm crying).

berenice was hit by a car, but I'm pretty convinced that it counts (?), because she was running away from a bad person. especially if we take into account the story of the poe's character with the same name.

oh, and I almost forgot about montresor, although there have been a lot (too much) of him lately. well, he was thrown under a train. not much to add.

the only people who stand out from the general pattern so far are prospero and eulalie. eulalie died in a fire. the exact cause of prospero's death is unknown to us, but with a high probability it was caused by some kind of disease, presumably the plague. however, I wouldn't rush to write these two off. the fire could have been the result of arson. not necessarily for the sake of killing poor eulalie. but in any case it's a deliberately arranged action. remember, in the eyes of the public, duke's death also seemed like an accident.

and the final chord of prospero’s life could have been, for example, not the disease itself, but a medical “mistake” during the surgery or something like that.

phew, feels really nice to finally have a platform to share some thoughts! and what do y'all think? it'd be interesting to read your theories.
