I don’t want to know what people say about me when I’m not there because frankly that’s not my business
Sometimes you need to vent about people you like and them hearing the things you say about them won’t be helpful to anybody. As long as someone isn’t going around trying to convince everyone that I’m the zodiac killer I don’t wanna know.
I know that negative things must be said about me sometimes and if they don’t think I need to hear it then I don’t need to hear it.
This is why you have at least two children. So they can complain about you behind your back. Giving other people in your life space to be frustrated with you is good. But you don’t need to hear about it. If it’s that important they should say it to your face. If they don’t tell you and they think you ought to know then that’s their problem.
Everyone is inconvenient and annoying. It comes free with being alive.
(Ok I've been wanting to make a presentable version of this analysis I did wayyyy back in like April. I've posted it here before in the form of twitter thread screenshots but I'm remastering it with formatting and pictures this time lol.)
Thinking about how the panels where the Angel Devil smiles and asks the mouse if the city is a nice place get recontextualised in retrospect once you learn about his past and what really happened to him.
On first impression it seems slightly hopeful because the Angel Devil seems to be warming up to the city after Aki saved his life after telling Aki that he has no interest in accompanying him in risking the dangers of the city.
With the city life being representative of Aki and working together with him as buddies. And this can be interpreted as the Angel Devil finding value in not dying as he looks to the city. Maybe his life isn't entirely empty. A positive.
But the city is where the state operates and where its presence is most prominently felt. As per the Angel Devil's words, Makima captured and dragged him to the city where he was put to work as his sole purpose in life.
It seemed justifiable, he killed people, he's a threat so he should be tamed and repurposed to benefit humanity under the state. And he's warmed up to a human, he's on the side of "good".
But the reality is that this image and premise of the Angel Devil in the city is artificially constructed by Makima by erasing his past, his connections, his place in the countryside that countered what the state stood for and symbolised.
Bringing him into the system, the city, rewriting the narrative so that it adheres with the state's beliefs about devils, just a tool to be used without attachments or a personal story. This will be his life now.
But the Angel Devil's heart was still in the country, where he can be unburdened. If he can't be free in the countryside he might as well die because living in the city is a pointless endeavour.
And then a city mouse willingly put himself in danger so that the Angel Devil could live, simply because he didn't want to see him die before him. And Aki paid a high price for it. The Angel Devil knows that.
Aki gave up two months of his remaining two years of life just to avoid witnessing and living through the death of another buddy before his eyes, that he could prevent even if that buddy was a devil whom they agreed they couldn't get along with, who has no regard for his own life.
So the Angel Devil lives so that those precious two months Aki recklessly sacrificed don't go to waste. He tries to live in the city, to accompany the city mouse.
But he never truly had to live in the city like this, there was no real reason to, he was happy in the countryside. He had people he loved and who loved him. He didn't hurt anyone. Until Makima, a figure of the state made him do so against his will, so that he can be used by and for the state.
By converting to a city mouse, the Angel Devil lets go of the countryside as his home, he's changing his heart for Aki, an agent of the state and the city mouse. It's an acceptance and resignation to the city. And that's sad actually.
Also something something, Aki himself being a country mouse turned city mouse by submitting to the state. The reality that both him and the Angel Devil are merely powerless mice against dogs, the figures of the state, Gun Devil and Makima, losing their home in the country to both respectively, dug from the dirt and converting to the city because of it.
And then eventually finding their own ends too at the hands of both, respectively.
Expanding on this.
When the Angel Devil says he's not interested in risking the dangers of the city, I firmly believe the 'danger' he's referring to is the steep effort and dedication one takes to live in the city for what it offers. The risk in risk and reward. The life of a PS devil hunter.
Aki throwing himself into his job to earn his place in pursuit of the Gun Devil that he explained to the Angel Devil not long ago. The Angel Devil is the country mouse forced to accompany him on this endeavour. So Aki could get his delicious food; revenge.
The Angel Devil is not interested in braving the dangers because his heart is in the country, he has no place in the city, the luxuries and reward of the city do not appeal to him, therefore it's not worth putting himself on the line for "delicious food".
The aesop (haha) of the fable is to be content with what you have instead of being ambitious at the expense of yourself and others around you. The Angel Devil settles for the minimum, Aki has his sights set on something more.
By considering the city, converting to the city mouse, the Angel Devil decides that he'll put up with the hard life of the city, to aim for something a little higher by not wanting to die all the time, seeing value in sticking with Aki, accompanying the city mouse.
And getting rewarded with the city's luxurious food, courtesy of the city mouse.
(Ice cream as his "luxurious food" in the city, but Aki IS the ice-cream. Have this reply I made to someone wayy back in the meanwhile.)
And this post I wrote back in March about how the Angel Devil copes as a city mouse.
The Angel Devil being such a repressed liar about how he feels about humans especially the one he's partnered with because of his own suppre

Watched the anime and his big heart captured my eyes
Look don't test me I'll block and turn off reblogs with a hair trigger if you all can't be normal about this but I do feel like it needs to be said that "do you think abortion should be allowed if the mother's reason for wanting it is—" the only acceptable answer to that question is Yes no matter what the end of that sentence is going to be. I do not care if someone wants an abortion for selfish reasons or bigoted reasons or cruel reasons or any other hypothetical strawman you can think of, there is no circumstance where someone should be denied the right to opt out of a forced pregnancy and birth. First of all, who's in charge of interrogating everyone seeking an abortion to make sure they're doing it for reasons Pure Of Heart? Second, why do you think Forced Birth is an appropriate punishment to inflict on anyone? If your answer to "should abortion be allowed when the motivation is—" is anything but an unequivocal "yes, and I don't care about the motivation" then you are not pro-choice
Yep, as a disability justice person I sometimes encounter resistance to this principle from people who are concerned about abortion being used for ableist reasons.
"Do you really think a pregnant person should be able to abort a fetus just for having Down's Syndrome?" people ask. Or just for having some genetic markers for Autism?
And my answer to that, always, is I don't think a child should be forced to be born to a parent that does not want them. And I don't believe a parent should be forced to give birth to a child they are not prepared for and do not want.
Is it ableist for a pregnant person to not want a disabled child? Sure, but I find myself far less interested in the purity or impurity of the pregnant person's morals than I am in the fact that disabled people and their families are provided almost no resources in society and are excluded for nearly every area of public life. There are many reasons why a parent might not want to give birth to a disabled child, or feel unprepared to raise them, that go far beyond that parent's own personal prejudices. And even those prejudices are informed by economic, legal, and social structures that make it very difficult, expensive, and isolating to raise a disabled child.
Furthermore, I don't care if any person gets an abortion for the right or wrong reasons because I do not think there should be some outside body that decides what a legitimate reason for seeking an abortion is. Who is going to determine whether a pregnant person is seeking abortion for the "right" reasons? Will it be the government? Which government, state or local? Will it be a social worker? A doctor? An ethics board? I don't trust any institution to determine whether someone is seeking an abortion for the right reasons or not, and I don't think it would ever be possible to institute laws that would prevent "unjust" or "immoral" abortions alone. Even if it were possible to magically only prevent abortions among people with horrifically bigoted views, I would oppose it, because as OP said, I do not believe in forced birth.
It really is that simple. And the same principles apply to a panoply of political issues that are needlessly concerned with an individual person's mental state or motives. Who cares why one individual person is doing what they do. Look to the economic forces, the demands, the resources, the needs not being met, and you will see the logic behind people's behavior. There's no need to legislate away a person thinking the wrong thoughts.
That's that and this is this

Me, as a Harry Potter fan, I don’t like at all what JK Rowling is doing, but that doesn’t mean I have to hate Harry Potter rn. You can like a book, but don’t like the author that wrote it
Oho! Thy art is indeed a masterpiece in all but fame, the lines and the colours and the composition compliment eachother in ways I have never seen or never seen done so well! To call the way you draw Demian anything but perfect would be to besmurch the very word itself!! Good day to thee, for now and for however long you live.

I think there's something magical about how the plot of Lobotomy Corporation is about completing the character arcs of the dead and how Library of Ruina is about those same people granting that fulfillment to Angela who was denied it in LC. Angela herself being the lingering regret of a dead man who could never truly confront this last sin he committed. The Sephirah having to contend with Angela's entire existence and her zeal for a life beyond in his steed.
2025 is a good number, it’s a quarter of the way through the 20 hundreds and it’s got that nice set of 2s separated by only a 0. not bad. whatever happens this year at least it’ll be happening during a good number 😌
and IT'S A SQUARE. IT'S 45 SQUARED. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 1936 (44 squared) AND IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 2116 (46 squared)
It's also equal to the sum of the first 9 cubes!
and 45 is 20+25 so it's (20+25)² which is extra cool
