I Hate This Day So Much Can't I Go One Day Without Hating My Whole Entire Existence And Life I Hate It

have some wips I'll probably never finish

GOD BLESS @a-man-in-the-crowd CAUSE THIS COMMENT MADE MY NEURONS FIRE

So we've all been theorizing about Nevermore recently, but I think a big theme, especially in the backstories, is insanity, mental illness, and just generally being seen as unstable.

For example:

Lenore- Literally a mad woman, this one is obvious

Annabel- Panic attacks, hallucinations, and her biggest fear going mad

Prospero- "I'm not neurotic, I'm actually quite sane" and germophobia

Will- He was gay, which I'm pretty sure was seen as a mental illness in his time period (I'm also 99% certain Johnny killed him but that's a different rant)

Montresor- "You've had the devil in you since the day you were born"

Duke- ‼️FAST PASS SPOILERS‼️(this may be a stretch, but I mean Duke had someone who was untrained chuck knives at him, that's gotta make people think you're a BIT off) ‼️FAST PASS SPOILERS‼️

Eulalie- She's a paranormal girlie in a time where possession was still a common term, come on now

Pluto- probably had PTSD or some sort of something from his dad. He felt RELIEF when he died, there's no way he's entirely alright

We don't really know enough about Ada, Berenice, and Morella's backstories to say anything about them 🤷

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THE CONNECTIONS RIGHT???

okay so I wanted to update this bc I had another idea (thanks to @/sakuraswifee's theory!!!! you can read it first to understand this better) that train to the far shore mention really got me TRIPPIN. it is so good.

anyways, so long story short, yk one of the reasons kou wants to be an exorcist is to help nene with her lifespan, and also for hanako and his brother BUT he doesn't even mention mitsuba, anything about him to his brother which is sorta telling especially since hes trying really hard to figure out how to help him become human.

and yk what's MORE telling? he ignores his brother's worried texts in favor of being with mitsuba. HHHHHHHUUUUUMMMM

but if we look here at the clock keepers arc, kou aged, which is a total contradiction for the mtsk dying together yk

ANOTHER BUT. tsuchigomori said that there was one kid who changed his future (amane/hanako) and it's not revealed how, and depending on what it entails, it could give this theory credibility or crash it down

and we have no backstory on why yashiro manages to be able to break yorishiros other than bc she's a kannagi (like is her family ancestry's kannagi too?) but it's the reason aoi and her managed to switch lifespans because aoi's a kannagi too, and..... the minamoto clan... aren't kannagis...but they still concern supernatural stuff.

so are you picking up what im putting down rn? yep thats right!!!! it's a hard decision for kou to make but he did say he'll always be on nene's side :') and he even defied his own brother for it...he's so sweet ..

yashiro wouldnt want kou to sacrifice himself but then again it's his choice to literally agree to run away with mitsuba and basically just died with him

NENE AND KOU MAAAAY EXCHANGE LIFESPANS!!! so if not yorishiro HE WILL DIE WITH HIM

that's it for my yap session remember this is just me being delusional RAAAAAAHHH THIS IS REAL THIS IS REAL IN MY HEARTT

mitsukou has been lowkey eating my brain (once again) and this will probably sound stupid blabbering but im gonna try to make myself sound convincing. and in my defense this was just a random thought that popped up on my mind.

what if the thing about natsuhiko saying the way for a human to become a supernatural is to become a yorishiro? I mean think about it, what else is sumire other than a supernatural? If she just died normally instead of becoming a yorishiro she would've ended up disappearing along with other girls under the red house.

at first, I thought natsuhiko planned on saying it to kou so it could trigger something but he looks surprised here so I doubt it now but there's still a possibility

i think his face reads as "ooooh an unexpected reaction but I'll take it"

even if he was really mean that time he probably really did care about mitsuba someway and was hoping for him to make kou his yorishiro

AAAND another reach maybe that's why kou asked him out on a date (other than just wanting to hang out with him, ofc) like so he could maybe get more important to mitsuba and make him his yorishiro!

and get this, if he becomes mitsuba's yorishiro, nene LITERALLY wouldn't be able to destroy him at all, thus allowing her to live!!!! two birds with one stone, if you will

(but you could say then 'wouldn't the broadcasting trio not like that?' which is true but they did they'll do ANYTHING to make yashiro destroy every yorishiro, possibly by threatening her and especially looking at the sumire incident she wouldn't want that to happen again AND THE LOWKEY PARALLELS OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH SUMIRE AND HAKUBO WITH THE MITSUKOU CHAPTER. (with the cannibalism and all))

and it could be another reason why kou was so shocked at him when he asked to be exorcised (cough instead of making him his yorishiro cough)

BUUUUUT that is just inherent yapping so that's that. just wanted to get my silly ramblings out there pls dont take it too seriously thank u.

always remember, friend,

now go in peace

This meme was inspired by the piece "Lucky 10,000" by Randall Monroe.

is NOBODY going to talk about how mitsuba was one of kou’s desires in the red house. mitsuba. and kou acknowledged this house gives him what he wants before he found mitsuba. you cant make this shit up. this is canon. this should be grounds enough for at MINIMUM “implied feelings on kou’s side” on the shipping wiki

You ever forget people might not know you're a system?

EVEN WHEN THEY TRY TO HELP THEY HURT EACH OTHER

there is no more "never ask a milgram fan what happened on (date)" it's just "never ask a milgram fan what happened"

OMG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING LIKE KOU MAYYYYYY give up his lifespan for nene.....

but at the same time as nene said, all she has to do is not destroy all the seven yorishiros to live (but the broadcasting cast will make sure she does)

but if all the yorishiros get destroyed, the world might literally end too so like..??

anyways whatever I just rambled

i think kous gonna DIE and nene’s gonna LIVE and here’s why:

this is an official art made by aidaro:

as you can see nene is holding the apple in her hands, while kou is about to bite into his own apple. and oh, what’s this?

an apple can mean temptation? and death? so again, kou is about to bite into the apple. i think this might represent kou dying to be with mitsuba. we’ve already seen him frickin jumping out a window for mitsuba, and yeah he didn’t die but i think it still counts for something!!!

now for nene she might die or she might live, me i’m teetering on her living. she’s holding the apple in her hands, which i’m interpreting as her contemplating whether or not to bite into it.

nene has sort of accepted her faith. yeah, she doesn’t want to die but if it happens it happens. on the contrary though, hanako wants her to live.

we know that changing the future is possible in canon-

….aandd that’s all i have bc i forgot i made this and left it to sit in my drafts. was scrolling through them today and found this lol, guess i was right

I love tadc omg everything is super spectacular
