Normal non-obsessive teenage girls
wrightworth makes me sick because everything you think would be fanon is actually 100% canon like what do you mean phoenix became a lawyer because he wanted to ‘save’ miles. what do you mean that miles chartered an international flight because phoenix was in danger. what do you mean phoenix calls miles ‘daddy’ in the middle of court. what do you mean that miles is almost the entire reason phoenix became a lawyer again after being disbarred.
like I genuinely thought ‘phoenix visited miles in europe during the seven year gap’ was fanon but no!! that’s also canon!!! at this point it’s less gay if they just come out and say it!!!!
public service announcement for all skk and skk-adjacent writers out there:
it may be very tempting to go from Dazai calling Chuuya "petit mafia" (like some translations I can't find right now do) to an endearing pet name like using the French possessive form and get "mon petit mafia". HOWEVER, that string of words makes absolutely no sense in French:
The word "mafia" is feminine, so it should be "ma petite mafia" (my little mafia [organization])
"mafia" only refers to the group/organization, so unless you want Dazai to refer to Chuuya as his own mafia (which you could), the French translation of "mafioso" is "mafieux" (masc) or "mafieuse" (fem), for "mon petit mafieux" (my little mafioso), but you could also use mafioso as-is as the original Italian word.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk 👍

I'm gonna get straight to the point since I don't really need a big post since the theory is self-explanatory
Hanako of the opera AU ends with Kou and Mitsuba basically running away from the opera (or to be fair, Kou kidnapping Mitsuba💀)
Then we get this in chapter 118, which is basically Mitsuba saying, "Hey my platonic friend, let's run away together in a platonic way so that we can forget that we're doomed asf(platonically)".
The panel shows a train. They could've drawn snacks or silly stuff, but they chose a train?? What's the only other time a train has shown up in tbhk?
To finish off, Kou has been hinted at becoming a supernatural multiple times. One of my favorite examples is the Ghost Hotel AU..
...it's canon that in this AU exorcists are still a thing, because Teru is one...but Kou isn't one? And what does Teru say he's doing in this AU? Searching for his little brother.
Honestly, seems like foreshadowing lol
(And btw, as a fandom, we ignore HOTO way too much)

So I've thought about it, and I think the reason some people hate the new Nevermore season is that they fall into the trap of thinking that "side" characters aren't supposed to be as fleshed out as main characters
Like no one complains when Lenore and Annabel get flashbacks, but that's because they're expected, even necessary since they're main characters. But, when perceived side characters start getting flashbacks, some people get angry
Also, no one complains when Annabel and Lenore get a ton of screen time, but when side characters get their moments in a SIDE CHARACTER DRIVEN ARC in a SIDE CHARACTER HEAVY STORY, some people get angry
The same people also like to blame the authors for this, when it is a problem of lack of care. The authors can not hold a gun to your head and make you care when they're actively giving you reasons to care? "They haven't given me a reason to care about them" well that's what they're currently doing so....
(one last point specifically abt Montresor, you can skip this part if it'll make you mad since Ik montresor is a controversial topic loll)
I think another problem is that people let their hatred for a character blind them to the depth of a character. I've seen people say that RnF have "forgotten" their characters because Montresor would never save Will because he hates him, which no?? Monty ain't a good person, he's a shitty little bastard, but he has a lot of depth as a character. What makes him so interesting is that no, he doesn't hate Will. No, he isn't always a terrible person on every single level. Yes, he does have a few redeeming qualities (however few). You can still hate him for what he's done/doing, which is entirely valid, but I don't think it's valid to portray as a one dimensional devil character who only exists to be a bitch and cause problems when he's sooooo much more than that (which still being a bitch).
