Do not take an interest in me.

After pondering over it, a chuckle left him " I wouldn't say it is getting me off, neither did I particularly love it. If I knew I would still be alive to todays date I would had take another way. But what happens in high school stays in high school. No need to wonder what might could had happened when none of us has a time travel machine."

"If you are feeling fatigue, I can finish up. I still have physical and mental energy to stay a little longer, and my watch won't call neither a car in for the nearest further." Or an ambulance

How boring adults where, idols was amazing. If Eichi could choose himself he would be more of a full time idol than stuck a full time office job on the side.

"Thinking this much short term you don't bother with the consequences? Just like Him... this industry has the knack to attract the most reckless of you all..."

Gatekeeper shook his head, appalled at how earnest the other's response were.

"Don't dismiss me so fast, Tenshouin. I'm not some naive and fragile old man who can leave you take all the decisions here." This was laughable, his physical condition was meticulously always kept at its peak, did this kid mean to be this insulting? "You already spent too much in that little idol park of yours to my liking. I need to make sure the stock investment oversea is done safely and not on a new risky venture of yours: America is my domain---And stop looking at me so cocky."

He sighed as he slid up his seat.

Every I know is sleeping or working so I need to be unhinged I'm so sorry those are copy pasting from discord and my crazy antics about Gatekeeper and my tinfoil hat theories.

There's this thing with Priest and Gatekeeper that the two of them are both extremes of Godfather who was the middleground and was their God

And both see this part in one another and have a hard time dealing with that.

For Priest, he sees Gatekeeper as the part of Godfather he saw as a God who was so powerful and could do anything, have an impeccable routine while I picture Priest, described as very emotional, as basically a Mayoi amped to the 1000 as in like. Self hatred and hiding in one's shadows. Never being himself. He can't see himself as useful in anything but imitating someone else's excellence without ever reaching it. Gatekeeper is excellence in what he does and he sees this, but without the warmth and passion.

Gatekeeper sees Priest and sees the abhorrent part of Godfather, the disease he sees in everyone, without the backbone to make anything of it. He says it that it is like kind of pitifully common to him.

However, Gatekeeper is not in tune with emotions and how he feels about them when faced with people, there's something about Priest's passion that perhaps touch him but he cannot look up to it because it does not fit his excellence requirement.

They both see their God in each others without Him being there, and there is only grief.

Gatekeeper has grieved from what I see, while Priest has not, he can't, he's inconsolable.

We may not know a lot about Priest but pull out the legendary chart again

So there's Priest who's an orphan and is like I cannot do anything but mimick greatness I cannot be in the light and be the God and is just super emotional altogether

but then when God dies he literally takes place of said God

Then there's the God, the Ultimate Prodigy Super Idol

But then I'm like… man like some things just make me AAAAAA like there's something about Godfather looking at foster kids and being "Yes good" or himself just crafting his own biological kids to basically be like foster kids

Having no parents at all and be neglected in every direction Subaru is def a parallel to Apostle I can't just. Some places I feel like I'm lacking a thread I need to read more Enstars istg.

Because the entire Eichi Godfather Subaru Apostle parallel is to me like the light baby version of the crunchier dark af other parallel I'm trying to make

Because you got this thing with Negi/Hitsugi being rejected by Priest, their biological father, and then Gatekeeper helping them out and they are grateful to him. Like why would. Gatekeeper do that. WHy would he bring Negi back.

Is it just emotional. Is it for something else.

Is Negi going to be the next Apostle Priest want to bring back "trying to fulfill Godfather’s goal and to bring “Apostle” back into the light, without being fully aware that he is actually destroying it instead"

I am thinking before sending messages but I can also put in my thought like I have missing pieces that keep being shown as the story goes and I'm like AAAAAAAAAAAAAA because we do not know Godfather's last wish, not really like he wants a super idol that will transcend everything and I think it's kind of a torture porn situation where you ascend beyond humanity by being the embodiment of the art without any human quality which is like holy fuck ok which is to me why SS and just everything tries to break the people who tries to be idols or are idols to bring them to that potential and I can hahaha see why Gatekeeper a sadist who was probably a serial killer I believe before he was found by Godfather or some shit like that he's Patrick Bateman let's be honest Went

Maybe he did. Maybe he's just really sadist and not serial killer actually but like. HOnestly given Enstars. I'm here for the serial killer backstory before being an assassin. It'd be sooooo fucking extra of Enstars. because Gatekeeper was first and foremost like Nagisa said he was utterly terrifying, he was the limbs of Godfather and as I quote Nagisa he was here to destroy every obstacle in the shadow and Godfather is here like he sacrificed idols for to elevate the ones he loved most. And Nagisa goes on how brutal it was. Atop of everyone's reaction to Gatekeeper especially Hiiro. Ok 100% Gatekeeper killed again and again and again for Godfather. Now did he do it before. I feel like Godfather wouldn't hire him if he did not do it before. Like see him, saw it was only murder in this man's eyes, and be like "You're hired." He's too unhinged to not pick an actual serial killer. Like if you keep a rando sadist chances are he will leave evidence when killing for you you don't want that. So back at the chart I see parallels upon parallels of Godfather, Priest and Apostle and I'm like where are the Gatekeeper I blinked and I go "… is it Ibara?" Because we got what I feel is like Godfather era: the R-rated story The Godfather aftermath era whatever the fuck happened with his children: the PG-16 story Reimei era: the PG-13 story Yumenosaki: the PG story

And there's always a God figure someone who worships and want that for themselves while just not being able to achieve it, someone cold and calculated to elevate it, and that impostor syndrome and doppleganger idk what to call it twin ass stuff Which is kinda crazy because you can see the influence of Godfather in the current units we have, like what was nurtured through the generations came out as parallel units to it Eden: from Godfather's child to attempt at "grooming" one kid to be that human-less idol… but because it is Eden, Adam (Nagisa and Ibara who had the qualities to be inhuman) failed because of Eve (Hiyori and Jun who just were good friends) Ryuseitai: That hero syndrome of saving the world of idols 2wink: That fuckin impostor weird ass shit of I'm me I'm you who are we we're suicidal UNDEAD: the legacy that never dies fine: it's the cryptid ass beings holding the paradise in the search of their god (the super idol they want) Trickstar: Honestly so far I just think Trickstar is like, the innocence of it all, because the basis of that idolation is a search for innocence, and Trickstar is it, Trickstar winning in ! is how a jaded system found back its innocence and joy of life MaM: it's Madara going "what the fuck is going on AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I'm thinking way too hard about this. I feel like if I do that for every other unit remaining it will be a flimsier parallel but I do think it's there

basically where are the Gatekeepers between R-rated and PG what the fuck are they doing I feel like a plotwist one day will be that Madara's parents are somewhere in that chart they're mentioned too often and fucked up as hell I'm going insane but I love that asshole

There's also the like… is Madara the parallel? Is the only other guy who wants to be the bloodied limbs of someone else but also who is it… Leo? Like because Leo is a genius who's about to "not be human" because he's a genius so it's always those figures who are prodigies who are elevated during the search of the real celestial god or am I going too far with that

Then there's like Double Face… which I think Godfather def wanted to do with… somebody… I kinda wanna say Apostle, but idk if Madara made Double Face in the way he knew Godfather wanted it to be. Because idk if Godfather would do illegal shit with Akehoshi who died not wanting to compromise his morals.

And then we talk about the illegitimate and adoption line but NEVER THE OFFICIAL ONE LIKE WHERE IS IT THERE'S TOJO AND THE NKANAME AND HIMERU BUT LIKE… DETAILS????

if anything we know more about the Tojo mothers the dad is a total mystery, did the dad have siblings who was his mom

also conspiracy theory Godfather felt betrayed Akehoshi got a family and a wife, which pushed him away from being a brilliant inhuman idol and more of a human so he orchestrated his death, hoped he'd take his help while in custody to be indebted to him and have him under his control because he loved him so much but he did not take it and died and thus Godfather is unconsolable because he killed the one he loved.

ngl if they say that Godfather#2 is Seiya i'm gonna die (taking that out of my ass but funny thought)

Seiya being so close to Ibara and seeing Ibara as the future of the generation when he's. You know. Evil mastermind. Tales of Antique mentioning their interests align. Seiya being WEIRD AF WITH SUBARU. Akehoshi and Seiya's past. Tales of Antiques AGAIN mentioning how Akehoshi's death deeply affected it so he took an "Idol Robot" persona to protect himself WHICH FITS THE WAY HIMERU DOES KANAME NOW THAT I READ OBBLIGATO WHICH WOULD FIT ABOUT THE REAL SEIYA DYING AND PRIEST TAKING HIS PLACE ALSO THIS DESIGN FOR A FACE IS JUST EVIL IT'S SHARP ALL OVER.I KNOW DESIGN

IT'S VOICED BY MOTHERFUCKING SHINICHIRO MIKI AND THERE'S BASICALLY NOTHING DONE WITH THAT LEVEL OF TALENT AND SEIYA UNLIKE ANY OTHER RELATIVE OF THE CHARACTERS HAS A PORTRAIT, A VOICE, HE HAS A PRESENCE WHEN HE BASICALLY DOES NOTHING BUT SAY "HEY GUYS IM HOKUTO'S DAD" WHY WOULD HE HAVE ALL THIS OF THIS QUALITY WITH NOTHING DONE WITH YET―THATS BECAUSE HE'S GODFATHER GDI.

"Do your best to follow in my footsteps and become model prisoners of idol jail ♪"

I'm going insane. Maths (homework) turned me insane.

forgot to add Hokuto not seeing Seiya during his childhood the neglect is here it fits Seiya being a Super Idol. Now "why does no one identify Seiya as Godfather then uh genius" WELL WHY DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE YUMENOSAKI WAR UH HIDE THE EVIDENCE ITS THAT EASY. Me: I won't invest so much into Enstars lore and theory I'll just chill with my bois I need to tellmyself it is impossible

This started out with me looking up initially for parallels Apostle - Godfather and I was like who's Godfather for Subaru… sure Eichi is at the helm of the system but he does NOT see Subaru like THAT (it's Wataru for him) then I was like … Hokuto? and I was like Hokuto Subaru is PG version… wait

However his resolve refused to let him be beaten around and treated just as poorly as he had been when he first started as an idol, now Gatekeeper was just doing for what hurt the most.

"Fufu, did you hear yourself right now?" Pathetic. "you can try and try to intimidate me, put me in my place, but ya clearly forget what my whole dig is.

Honestly aren't you working with the producers? and you can't even figure that out? come on, feed me more, call me names, degrade me all ya want, it doesn't even hurt, in fact i welcome it...cause at least i'll be me, and not some little lamb for you lot to parade around." leaning in just as the other had moments before.

"I'll be remembered by those who matter, fans and coworkers alike, you're the one no ones gonna remember, so don't even start with me."

"You are playing with fire, talking to me like this, Amagi Rinne... but you are right, that is your brand."

A sly smile drew on the businessman's face.

"You are right, at least, in that aspect: I'd much rather remain unseen... the idol lifestyle was not for me. I cannot fathom how one would..."

He waved in front of his face, the rambling passing by.

This illness of him is pitiful... there's no use in an asset that won't last long, sigh, we need to think up of a replacement for him should he fall... and none of the options sound good. His blind idiocy makes him ideal for he will take any hit for his dream...another disease he has, idealism. Probably his greatest.

Gatekeeper's steps were silent and his presence near invisible, something he had learned and was paramount to his work. It might have felt like the can had just pawned right in front of Eichi when he came back, sitting back on his chair and already cracking open his own hot drink: black coffee.
