he needs a corset

my favorite shelly story was when you had to cut him in half for transport reasons

that aside. really good video for me specifically. the world's #1 Al Borland stan

ohhhh i love molly and her hello kitty so much

(projecting) i want to imagine barok still has his baby blanket

with that context of how i read kazuma and how i read The Girl as a trope in general, i think I'd place the OG trio as being Genshin: Hero, Jigoku: Bestie, Yuujin: Girl. but i am always open for debate. I could say even more about the 5 man band configuration too

ANYBODY EVER CAN ALWAYS REPLY TO ME,, i didnt even realise i wasnt following u back actually 😔😔 everyone please yap in my replies

to be tangenty: specifically post-death, kaz becomes The Girl because his memory starts to occupy The Girl-esque roles. He becomes The Lost Love, the Dead Wife. he's a female dominated trope field now. AND also bc process of elimination, Sue starts to fit the Bestie role more than he does.

DGS also at its core is a story that takes very clear-cut tropes (such as The Trio) and flips them deliberately on their heads. By even just 1-3, it's no longer Kazuma: Hero, Ryuu: Bestie, Susato: Girl. it's now become Ryuu: Hero, Susato: Bestie, and Kazuma: Girl. does this make sense.

we landed on simon!genshin and theodore!mikotoba (alvin!jigoku undisputed) but the ten seconds in which genshin was theodore were truly electrifying
