It’s Up To You To Guess What They’re Playing

I believe Kako's backstory is either not completed or a twisted version of the truth and should not be taken at face value.

Aidairo loves to make a mystery tell us "their story" the second Nene get familiar with their boundary:

And later reveal that either the story was a lie that's is convinient for the mystery to achieve their goals:

Or a lie that haunt them to their core, until it twist the meaning of their existence:

Considering how Kako's whole story is basically a "don't mess with time. It will ruin you. Human weren't built for it, only I can't handle it." leaving a lot of things vague or quick to be dismissed. I think that while he is revealing many true things about his existence, he is still hiding the full story or twisting the details so that it makes his message to nene "give up, only the guardians should control time," more clear and heavy for her.

I would genuinely be surprised if aidairo doesn't re tell this story later under a new lense, because it feels imcomplete.

We don't actually know what this special thing is after all:

The story want us to believe this special thing is either Mirai, or the hourglass, but I don't quite buy it...

A yorishiro is always central to a mystery story (Tsuchi with the moon rock. Yako with Misaki's scissors. Mei with the sketchbook she was drawn on... so on) and Kako never once mentioned this key or the clock that the key unlock.

EDIT: We also don't know how Kako built Mirai/whose soul she has, since the niece no longer exists.

For as solid as Kako's story is, something about it feels very odd.

Little guy 🧡

everyone give it up for the partners in crime of nevermore

morellada almost had a moment like this but alas... would've been a cute moment though

I hate having banger fanfic ideas. What do you expect me to do? Write it down????????????

Takes a deep breath.

Montressor has always cared for William.

I started to suspect it the first time.

That very inconsequential time when I thought the Clusterfucks were just a group of people using each other for convenient power plays. When Montressor showed up to Will's room and Lenore had a gun to his back.

It shouldn't have meant anything, it was just Montressor calling Will to go have lunch. Montressor should have easily ditched him and he left. However for some reason Montressor lingered.

(The fact that he recognised Will's toothbrush AND picked it up was crazy to me. Didn't fit the arrogant ruthless persona I imagined him to be).

When Will said he was praying for Montressor.....gave advice. And it's the way he said it. The way he said it damnit.

If he was just a casual atheist, he would have laughed and then left. But he lingered and he said ......something he believed with all his heart. And you can tell that he's not just saying it to mock Will's faith. He's saying something he feels he should have heard ages ago. Like a past anguish weighs heavy on his heart. And that is so interesting to me, because for someone who has denied his religion, Montressor carries that cross with him everywhere. 💀 Bro never takes that shit off! It's so delicious!! (I love religious trauma when it's written well)

Back to Will!

Montressor had no reason to come down here and save Will. It was one guy, probably the weakest member of their team. The most pathetic guy. The guy we all thought was just Montressor's door mat. Not only did Montressor detect that Will was in trouble, he came down in person to save him....and then got his ass handed to him. 💀 (It was a diabolical beat down.)

Pluto nearly shot him. Bro nearly died! 💀

Which brings me to another fun fact about Montressor (stay with me, stay with me here). Or....I guess check out the next post, I'm at a picture limit. 💀

Picking Apart Kou’s Character (Analysis)

Through Nene’s pov he’s introduced as a very sweet guy and stuff but the problem here is that Nene’s is an unreliable narrator since she romantices life + Kou speficially treats her a lot nicer.

He is also heavily morally righteous and tries to hear Hanako out even after knowing he murdered someone, saving him from Teru.

Kou also ends up trying to shoulder other people’s problems, and many of his actions are seen as “heroic” or “selfless” BUT sometimes this due to a more ugly part of his character the fandom seems to discard often.

^ To elaborate, I want to bring up this scene since it’s iconic asf

On the surface it’s like: omg wow so brave of him to kill himself for his bf !! However, in the red house arc (which for context shows him his biggest desires) we can see that he just wants mitsuba to rely on him to the point of extreme measures.

This is rooted from his inferiority complex due to being outshined by his older + younger siblings; AND to add on, Hanako straight up tells Kou twice hes unable to do anything. Then to push it further, Teru’s like ur weak lil bro go back to the kitchen during the no.6 fight. Mitsuba dying infront of him 6 times doesn’t help either..

When Mitsuba asks if Kou is okay and needs to talk about his problems, (I forgot which specific chapter..), Kou automatically assumes that Mitsubas just worried about Kou’s reliability because he has such a low self esteem and is used to given up on.

His inability to actually make stuff happen and ppl telling him he can’t do shit make him very eager to try and shoulder other ppls problem in an attempt to have someone depend on him.

So when Mitsuba comes in with nobody (besides tsukasa but he does more harm than help so wtv) who can help him, Kou.. heh.. ig u could say.. JUMPS at this opportunity.

Anyway, in the Nightlife arc Mitsuba is like “hey can u kill me I’ve given up on being human”, and Kou finally lashes out. Mitsuba is indirectly telling Kou that he gave up on him trying to make his wish come true; AND THEN to make it worse, Mitsuba brings Tsukasa right after up..

Kou gets desperate and forces Mitsuba to stay alive even if he doesn’t want to because both

1) if mitsuba leaves nobody will depend on him and

2) he’s gay for him + misses him after watching him die + can’t bring himself to kill Mitsuba

Yes, he cares a lot for Mitsuba as a person and making his wish come true, but he also just wants to be depended on after being told he’s a let down over and over again.

As I mentioned before, Kou has a trend with diverting his problems from other people and keeping his real feelings in. Nobody expect for nene knows about Mitsubas and Kous relationship, and it literally took Kou like 70 chapters or smthn to give her the basics.

He’s speechless when Akane asks if Mitsuba and him are close because Kou never mentions Mitsuba at all. Teru doesn’t know what’s up with him, and just assumes he “has a goal in mind”. Even when having his big speech defeating Habuko Kou just refers to Mitsuba as “him”.

Okay anyways the point Im trying to get is Kous character is a lot more complex than the fandom passes off !! Yes he can be very sweet and all but there’s other parts to his personality that aren’t so black and white.

guess who's still coping
