A) A symbiotic relationship between crows and humans in a supernatural, drug-enhanced prison
B) Someone approximating hair follicles via their throat??? (WE’RE NOT OVERLOOKING THAT!)
C) Dante STILL applying outside logic to these mfs (give it a rest king)
D) Dante serving face when he’s not tweaking
E) Immediate distinguishable (so far) talent use from Dante. That crow plot twist was even crazier than it talking the first time (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I would’ve preferred some of the sex chapters/scenes to be replaced with plot and events for when Chase finds out he mated Josh, and Pete’s other dad. It’s too good of a plot and would feel unexplored if it ended after the big reveals.
I hate that Dante and Hairen think of 182 as nothing more than a strong simpleton sometimes. It’s so clear he’s unsocialized and learning emotional intelligence as they hang out. 182’s clearly been deprived of anything but needs, so of course he indulges in pleasantries when available. They fail to understand he’s survived in Fogland this long being exactly as he is. Even so, he’s remarkably intelligent. When he was trying to land punches on the fuzzy shoulder, he was gathering data and doubling back, recalculating, and testing theories.
Hate is a strong word. I also dislike them for that, but I understand why they think otherwise. Just look back at Dante’s upbringing and the trauma Hairen experienced. You’d understand that it messes with their thinking. Now compare Dante and Hairen to the blond-haired girl teacher. You’d see a clear difference in how they treat their own kind, childrens, and ways of thinking. I'm not justifying anything, but the context for their behavior and thinking allows for greater development. Anyways, you're still right for thinking and feeling that way ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Chase (eventually) is gonna be one lucky mf. Josh is hot doing absolutely nothing, but militant level training in physical combat and weaponry before AND after giving birth is just ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
As Beyoncé once said, “Strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business.” ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I did some research on the purpose of hounds originally, and the tale of Sisyphus (in Greek Mythology). Somehow, I’m getting maze runner vibes from all of this. This town seems like a controlled group, theoretically Sisyphus (Guwon’s) boulder to maintain.
Hounds historically have been used to hunt, gather, hold and maintain livestock or prey. This goes along with Guwons admission of seeing the townspeople as pets. A hound is a loyal servant to Guwon, and is entirely different than a pet to him (townspeople).
I believe this is a controlled or isolated incident, I’m veering towards a government controlled one. I do remember the apocalyptic outbreak outside the town, and I wonder if mc (I forgot his name) is a straggler of sorts. I’m spitballing here, but I imagine the town is basically a development maintained by the hounds that was built to keep Sisyphus (Guwon) entertained or no longer lonely as he continues his endless punishment.
My favorite part has genuinely been watching people fall in love with Kim Dokja’s battle prowess, wit, remarkable adaptability, and loyalty. To see it all unfold back into him is so beautiful…
That lovable idiot sees this all, and STILL thinks he deserves to be nothing but his companions’ scapegoat whenever a conflict arises.
Ugh, I love him so bad.
I honestly want to believe the reason hes willing to sacrifice himself is due to the reason he was able to continue living was because of them and he wants to help them continue living with a happy ending even if that means sacrificing himself because he owe them that much
The overpowered, yet curious stray (Mr. 182). He lets Dante get away with a lot of shit fr, the bath, the hooting and hollering, and the dumb crap he did in the beginning. I can’t get into the ship jargon —that child to adult line is questionable, idk if it’s an intellectual gap due to inaccessibility or age— but they’re so funny.
Back to the stray thing though, I think it’s fitting with 182. I think it’s telling how he sticks to titles for everyone (teacher, doctor, etc.,) I wonder it has to do with his conditioned childhood?
Lmk if anyone has any recs similar to this.
I mean to like :’( but i totally agree with you, the cognitive map of your relationships forms when we still are young. He was used as a test subject (?) so he never had a name (other than the number) and the scientists probably never told the children their names. It’s probably the only way he knows to address other people :D it’s what I think
I can't stand people who ship them it genuinely icks me out
yeh right?? I think Dante was more like a father figure to 182
Frr . I dont mind if they ship dante and the doctor , but Not 182 . In my eyes he's stuck in a child mental-headspace and is just a kid :') my poor sweet potato
I see them as a brotherly relationship like 182 is the clueless youngest brother
I thought I was the only one who didn’t ship them lol, like idk they give mentor or sibling vibes (Dante and 182)
Dante and the doctor are the parents, 182 is the baby (=・ω・=) also I love how u called him a sweet potato ╥﹏╥ my child
The condition he had before he went into the prison, I’d like to say had nothing to do with the fog (originally). Since he had to identify others with something besides facial features, he see’s someone’s (inner?) state of being/identity. The moon face has been too consistent when referring to his brother; in a family portrait from young Dante, himself and his parents have faces, his brother didn’t. So that condition of his doesn’t work on every face, but often enough. I think him having only one blue eye furthers this, with him going beyond a person’s exterior, seeing their inner sense of self that explains the person’s behavior and identity.
I think 182 is that destined ascended being, but he can only become so with Dante & Hairen’s help.
BUT WHERE IS MY SON?! EVERYTIME I TURN AROUND, LEE GILYOUNG HAS BEEN SLIGHTED FOR PLOT PURPOSES.
He will come later, dw buddy
Yea wrap it up. Somebody get 182 a better name, and QUICKLY!
But the teacher gave him that name.
It probably will stick
