Xeno Birthed Senku Out Of His Ass He Just Doesn't Know That

If you’ve seen orb

why knowing the unseen worked (and why i'm afraid mafu6 won't)

disclaimer: ena's father did traumatize her and his actions can't be justified. but the event doesn't try to justify them or act like he's had a complete change of heart since then

the fundamental nature of the abuse was different, so reconciliation is cathartic and beneficial for ena but not for mafuyu

ena's dad put her down, so what she needs is to be lifted up. mafuyu's mom wanted to control who she was, so what she needs is to break free (which she's already done)

the point of adding depth to shinei is making ena realize she's not talentless like she thought, that she's worthy of being an artist. what would be the point for mafuyu of having her mom suddenly show remorse?

ena's dad made her feel worthless because her self-worth was tied to her art. so to realize that she's actually been the most precious thing to him ever since she was born is rewarding for her. it's not about redeeming him

mafumom could say all kinds of nice things to her daughter in the next event and it wouldn't mean anything. she already calls her a "good girl" and stuff all the time. she's manipulative

shinei is not manipulative. he couldn't be even if he tried because the man is emotionally incompetent

that's why it's only through his art that he's able to convey his true feelings to his daughter, which is so fitting since art is the thing they share, or at least should share

mafumom has already had an arc, which was like the opposite of a redemption arc. mafuyu went from thinking of her as a good mom to realizing she was destroying her. to redeem her now would just be going backwards

by contrast, knowing the unseen is the first time we're really delving into shinei's character, and what we learn about him doesn't contradict anything from before

rephrased: mafuyu thought her mom truly loved her, but it turns out she only loved the idealized daughter in her head. ena thought her dad didn't care about her, but it turns out he loved her from the start

so yeah

you ever get assigned something as a project in school and for the rest of your life you have a strange attachment to the subject. in like seventh grade i had an assignment to make a poster about the elemental propoerties of osmium and to this day everytime someone mentions it im like 'YEAAAAAAH OSMIUM MENTIONED!!!!!!!!'

Spoilers for the miku movie

It's so funny to me how all of the other vocaloids are trying to escape the darkness but the empty sekai ones just accept it

Like thats so them

ao3 turns 15 today

reblog if youre older than ao3

(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)

Senku

Tsukasa immediately matching Senku’s freak when they became friends again will never not be funny to me.
