Im pleasantly surprised the new timeline trio won the poll! It's hard for me to write their dynamic since we have basically zero info on their relationship + the whole cheating history while teruaoi is engaged...

But so far I'm having fun slapping headcanons in it. Have this snippet!

Akane is so dumb, bless his heart, he really saw this face:

And went "holy shit! Aoi will take Teru's request very seriously and make him chocolates!!"

And since he can't forbid Aoi from doing what she want to, his natural solution isn't to try to dissuate her, or distract her, or anything else, is to bake Teru's sweets with her?? And put half of his hatred into the sweets??

Which is insane because he looks happy to be baking by her side. There is no way he can muster much hatred while working with Aoi, so the sweets (which I'm assuming some of them are heart shaped considering the surroundings of the baking art??) have love in it for sure. Sorry Akane.

Aoi doesn't know what is going on, she is confused throughtout the whole event, so when Akane asked to cook with her she did not need a reason to accept besides "let's cook with Akane."

Girl... I see your blush.

They also got the matching outfits going on... I wonder if Akane gave it to her when he invited her or if they just casually have matching cooking aprons?? Considering how Aoi was down for cooking without even knowing what's going, and these are likely home made, I am inclined to believe that cooking with Akane is not a brand new experience: They casually have matching outfits.

Akane is so proud to give Teru chocolate, there is no hatred to be seem here. Boy you are so suspicious.

AND TERU IS VERY HAPPY.

in fact everyone is, that's what the caption says. It is a happy ending.

Poor Aoi is left in confusion though... Save her.

Yup! It fit the early picture perfect arc vibes!

Check out how Kou is suspicious and uneased while Yooko and Satou are looking at Mitsuba, who is wearing the school uniform, very casually, greating him as if he was a normal classmate they are buddies with.

I'm pretty sure the '3' and '4' on Aidairo's captions are a countdown for the episode :D

Anonymous asked:

Do you think Aoi and Hanako would make good friends? Either in canon or in a different context

I can see it in an AU, anything is possible in AUs! but in canon? No. Hanako never hid that he doesn't care about Aoi: He haven't show any interest in her as a person in the intire manga, dismissing her even when she is in danger.

The only times he focus on Aoi have been to use her: He treat her as a convenient tool, with no regard for her comfort or safety. Someone to use to make Akane reveal his status as a clock keeper. Someone to use to expand Nene's lifespam.

When she sees her during the sacrifice arc he is imediately suspicious of her: Is not that he noticed that she was acting 'unlike herself'.

Is that unlike Nene or Akane he does not care about the recently kidnapped girl well being.

So her freedom is not a relief, is merely 'unlikely to a suspicious degree that this girl won agaist No.6', . He may have kept his knife behind his back, hiding any violence for Nene's sake, but the knife is there, he is ready to treat her as any other other nameless danger.

Of course he saw an oportunity and sacrificed Aoi to save Nene, that's the only instances he give Aoi any attention, when she can be of use. A chat on the train means nothing if one minute after it, he will go out of his way to keep her dead.

This consistency just make me belief in this:

Much more than this friendly approach when she decides to get in the train:

It makes me very sad that he is the one she was honest with, since he doesn't care about her feelings and I doubt anything changed here.

Hanako only warned her about her soul being destroyed and invited her to sit with her because he doesn't have anyone else in the train, he is alone. He was written to parallel of Aoi to some extend, and despite isolating himself by his own choice, Hanako doesn't like being alone either.

I dont know why but i noticed that teru sleeps without a pillow.

He even uses his lobster (?) plush

Maybe he sleeps like that because he wouldnt wake up quickly if he sleeps with comfortable position. (He is a exorcist after all.)

but I'd like to know what you think about that. (i am sorry my english isnt that good.)

I personaly think it's for comfort's sake that he ditched his pillow. As twisted as that sounds.

Teru insane work hours make it so he black out sometimes, and he won't always do it on a soft surface, so his arms become his pillow.

Considering how Teru used to be more injuried when he was tiny (full of bandages and band aids) + growing up kids need a lot of sleep, I am sure he blacked out in a lot of odd places from school desks to the living room floor. So he had to adapt, until his arms become the most familiar pillow, a very comfy pose.

(notice how his pose is very diferent from his siblings)

But this pose would be awkward if he had a pillow (which must be way to soft for comfort) so when he does get to go to bed, away the pillow goes!

As for the lobster plushie, I think he like to squish it not use it as a pillow. Cause of how he reach for Tiara in the pic above and because of this extra:

little mermaid terukane au, but Akane convinces the sea witch to give him three months to make Prince Teru fall in love instead of three days. He feels victorious on his bargain at first, but he regrets recklessly exchanging his voice for legs the moment he has a proper talk with the ‘charming’ prince, feeling genuine pain that he couldn’t yell at the bastard.

Akane lock himself in a study to learn how to write, determined to communicate his displeasure without needing to lower himself to bare his teeth. His handwriting is awful, like a learning toddler, but he is so smug about calling the prince an asshole and shoving the letter in his face, it’s easily one of the funniest messages Teru ever got.

Teru start to make more time for his guest, properly teaching him how to write more than curse words, quick to notice that Akane didn’t squint all the time cause he hated everyone and everything, as Teru had assumed, the boy is just blind as a bat (his eyes were made to see underwater not dry lands), once Teru looked past that, he could tell Akane actually loves a lot: He helped the castle workers at times, and played with trinkets for hours, mesmerized by the idea of writing and clocks, though it took some time for Akane to tolerate clothes and he still refused to wear shoes.

Teru didn’t take long to realize Akane used to be a mermaid, connecting his weird ‘dream’ of being saved from a storm by a red headed beauty with an unnaturally good voice to Akane’s complete lack of knowledge of even basic human objects, his instinct to yell at everything despite presumably being born mute, and his very clear preference to eat seafood, mumching on the bones and so on. It’s weird, cause Teru isn’t a fan of mermaids, his mom died at the hands of one after all, but he is a big fan of Akane.

what's so interesting to me about it is that the machine version of neil isn't just eva's perception of him like we've seen with characters before, like river being seen only through john's memories. this version of neil is also his own memories, he put himself in there as complete as possible, and eva only added to it with her own perception. it's a ship of theseus situation. how much is he still himself? is it unfair to the real neil if eva continues to just... live in the memories, or create new, simulated memories with this copy of him?

obviously it's not healthy to live in a fantasy but is it still a fantasy? how 'alive' are the people in this machine? if you believe you're real, are you? if you don't believe you're real, does that make it true? who or what decides what is or isn't real?

and because he's still neil, he can't ever accept it, he pushes her away even now, because he knows she should move on... but he still built the machine. could he ever just accept the fact he was close to someone and loved her and no matter how hard he tried to keep her from getting hurt she still misses him dearly when he's gone and he still longs for connection even when he feels he shouldn't reach out. the time they had together would never be enough, and could this ever truly make up for it? should it? it's such a fascinating conundrum.
