![]() Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism.I don't shy away from the dark history of theatre work.Mentions of Suicidal Ideation (its like two lines of text).this is all based off the manga and anime.the timeskip is just full on headcannon sorry Atsuko Asano.Language: English Words: 1,753 Chapters: 1/1 Comments: 2 Kudos: 9 Bookmarks: 1 Hits: 96 In a way, monster was just another, informal way, to refer to a criminal.Īnd Shion, in the eyes of the System, had basically been a criminal since he was twelve years old. Shion didn't remember the date, or how long it had been since he first heard those words, he just knew they've been staying in his head ever since then.Īt first he couldn't understand them, what did they even mean, right? He didn't-Īnd when he finally understood, oh, they fit so well in his head, words connecting the pieces of himself in such a fulfilling way he could have thrown up.īecause it was so… right, he was, he was, he had been ever since he helped him hide in his house, ever since he’d felt compassion for someone like him, ever since he still mattered in his head, even years later. cus nothing really happens between them.the nezushi can be seen as platonic or romantic.shion is tormented by thoughts in this one.in a "they are chasing us" kinda way so we'd better run.Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings.Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings, No Archive Warnings Apply.Now, a kiss can only mean death.Sasdavvero Fandoms: No. There are no more kisses of affection where you are. I mean, I understand the idea of putting somone out of suffering, or stopping someone who’s a danger to you, but.ĭamn, you two are just freaking scary. And then volume five completly throws that into a blender with some nonchalant conversation about how Nezumi will slit Shion’s neck if he needs to. Look at all the profound affection they shared during the manhunt and as they sunk in that elevator. Based on what I’ve learned to expect expect from reading manga and watching anime, I thought that after the fight and the “descent into hell,” Shion and Nezumi were going to be some renewed, hopeful, lovey-dovey fight-for-mutual-survival heroes. I was unsure of how things would progress after the post-kiss fight in volume four. ![]() And the novels are darker, for sure, but this shit is dark. It’s taken that dangerous dance and reduced it to endless repeatings of “You and I will be enemies.” God, say it in every episode, Nezumi. But until then, I will rely on all the generous fan translators out there, supplying me with wordy, wordy drugs.Īnyway, I don’t feel like I, or any of us were naiive or stupid to think we were getting a romance up until this point. …how will this play out? What happens when Shion finally kills? I’m so excited. ![]() Nezumi thinks he’s protecting Shion from becoming a monster. Doesn’t mean he’s not capable of killing. Just because Shion hasn’t killed yet, doesn’t mean he’s not a killer. ![]() Nezumi tells Shion not to kill because he wants him to “stay Shion.” Doesn’t want him to be a killer, or to bloody his hands. And if Nezumi finally falls for it, then he will be truly screwed. Not only does Shion not know he’s a monster, he’s trying with all his might to convince Nezumi that he’s not. ![]() He’s a monster, and Nezumi knows it and Shion doesn’t. And that’s not doing all this crazy shit justice. Believes it, means it every time he says something about how he can’t stand to lose him, how he will always be by his side, how he will never be his enemy. It’s like the real danger to Nezumi, the really dangerous fact about Shion is that Shion believes in his identity as Nezumi’s dedicated soulmate. Spoilers included in the discussion after the jump: Suddenly I feel like I’m reading about a love story between two psychos. One with his sharp animality being slowly worn away, and the other just discovering the brutality he is capable of. It’s a dangerous dance between predators. It’s not a romance, it’s so, so much more complicated than that. After reading (the summary/translation) of volume 5, I have to admit, Shion and Nezumi’s relationship is way, way more complicated, way more dangerous and volatile than I’d believed. ![]()
