Do you have any funfacts about the series? [Manga]

  1. In Japan, the most common way to refer to your mother is "oka-san", but the kids refer to Isabella as "Mama" . Its how babies-toddlers refer to their moms, and if children or teenagers refer to their moms as "Mama" its seen as very childish. Its like saying "mommy"

Ray refers to Isabella as "mother" in special oneshot, in chapter 177 and when we see the flashback of him asking why she have birth to him, i think he uses the standard "oka-san"

  1. In japanese the "it" in "tag" game is actually a "oni" which is a demon

So when sister Krone says "i will be it, try to run away from me" japanese people hear "i will be a demon, try to run away from me"

  1. In one of the light novels where the kids remember their childhoods, Emma wrongly understood Norman is about to die, and told Ray about it. He was worried about Emma and was wondering if he should tell her that the place is a farm, so that if Norman's stare was bad he would be placed in the headquarters.

No idea if this is understandable but i don't wanna spoil

  1. Ray finally understood the orphanage is a farm at age 6, and came out with a plan to burn himself for others sake at age 7. Yes, the kid was suicidal since 7

  2. Emma's favorite dish is carrot cake!

  3. All of childrens names are picked by grandma

Now things i noticed myself:

  1. In early chapters, when Emma thinks about demons eating children's bodies, she looks at her hands to represent her body

  2. When Emma and Norman see demons for the first time, Norman names the creatures "demons" and thats how grace field children call them

Sonju said he remembers being called a demon. The other names what demons are called are monsters (i think by goldy pond kids?) and man eaters (i think Yuugo calls them that specifically)

  1. Emma also remembers that she often plays with Thoma and Lanni by running after them saying "im gonna eat you" she is later scared of that, as it reminds her of the demons

I think thats it? Do you have any?

Any songs with bass solos?

I feel in love with bass solos when i heard this -> https://youtu.be/--3fFPpF-EE?is=D9HkRE0kzBdK7q-j (7:12)

Everytime i see bass covers i kinda wonder why bassist don't play like this more often? Bass solos are so cool

Edit: thank you for so many recommendations!

Beautiful World appreciation post (say smth nice)

If i ever hear this song is from asuka's perspective im crashing

Anyway its such a beautiful song! I used to listen to it a lot a few years ago. I genuinely think its one of the most beautiful songs in the world, Utada's singing and the melody

One thing that brothers me about U&I...

U&I is a song written entirely by Yui, as to show gratitude to her younger sister, Ui, for taking care of her

In manga, Ui thanks her sister for writing it, but Yui doesnt hear her as she sleeps

In anime however... It's entirely different. I think it loses its meaning entirely (tho I still love the song)

Girls were supposed to train, but their classroom was renovated so they couldn't. It makes Yui realise how you think things you love are forever, and only realise how important they are the moment you lose them

In the anime also, which always bothered me, Ui doesn't say anything about the lyrics

In manga we don't have the concert scene, which is obvious, but in the anime we have Yui sing it

And yk how she talks a lot before a song? How she says her feelings about other members or how she feels in the moment... Well she doesn't say anything, just that it's the last song they'll play

Ui doesn't react much to it too. And yeah maybe it's just they are, maybe they talked about it behind the scenes, idk. I just always thought it went a little too... Silent?

As for songs showing gratitude about your family members I only know "if we have each other" which is about a sister, and "new love in town" which is about a newborn son... It, if you write a song about someone, which is usually a love song - isn't this quite a big deal?

Anyway - it kinda bothers me how the song wasn't addressed with idk, more feeling? How Yui didn't say anything during the concert about her sister for that. How Ui doesn't directly thanks her sister for that. Idk, but on the other hand, it feels just like their characters would act..

Maybe I'm looking too much into it? What do you think?

u/Yumi_Numi — 15 days ago

Are you sure its actually the first time?

Idk how you interpret his smile, but to me it was meant to calm Atsushi down as he was left alone with Fukuchi, yk

Or it could be that he will finally be free once he's dead, thats why

Anyway i still have no idea which translation is the actual one so

Do kids Understand the real meaning of tangled?

You see, i was mostly raised by fairytales, but the og versions, i barely watched any Disney movies when i was younger

The rapunzel i brew you with is the version where a man steals rapunzel tyle of cabbage from a witches garden, which they are from. The witch punishes them my making them give her their first born daughter, names her rapunzel after said cabbage and inprisons her in a tower

The Disney version is a lot different, so when i was watching it when i was younger, i actually, , saw gothel just as caring mother, (and it scares me) and i didnt see how toxic and how badly she addresses Rapunzel

I was in early stages of teen age, so what about your kids? Do they understand gothel's character? The meaning of the movie?

Now, genuine questions

I saw a comment saying that:

Light was groomed by Ryuk

Light possible was undiagnosed

Now i genuinely have no idea what to think, do you agree with that or not? If so, why?

>!Now light obviously has a god complex and he thinks he's better than others, that no one other would be able to kill others and he doesnt care what happens to others and yk so yeah that would be unduagnosed but i aint no psychologist. As for groomed the comment later says that he was 17 so he couldnt make clear decisions but lets see what you think!

Edit: im so happy everyones confused just like i was 😭

Or does it doesnt matter?

I always wondered what Misa and Light remembered of each other

Now dont jump at me but i watched the anime in 2022 so i don't remember as much

But i really don't really them having any normal conversation outside of death note stuff + that she literally found him because she wanted to find Kira

So, Light speaks like, okay of her after they lose memories? That he doesnt like her like she likes him from what i remember and that he doesnt want to play with her

But as i said their relationship revolves only about death note as light manioulates her for that

So, what does he remember of her? How do they remember meeting and how Misa remembers searching for him?

I think i'll rewatch but it was never answered in the series so i will suffer for another year

About latest bsd wan! Ending!

So in the ending we see Akutagawa was skipping >!jumping while walking, common for kids!< and he gets embarrassed that atsushi caught him doing that

And actually i was like, huh? Cause i thought he's just walking. I thought they could do better to show that they grew more yk shinsoukoku? Like they did with the poster when they are working together

But aside from akutagawa being cute here!

I once read about a theory that we see Akutagawa by how Atsushi sees him

This could explain why akutagawa doesnt look human in early chapters (aka his hamster eyes) and in general him being portrayed as scary until later. As they work together, we get to see more of him, finally smiling and later on even >!crying!<

So, how about atsushi see him skipping is kinda to portray that he still does have a human side, like emotions and he can enjoy simple things like this? Even blushing, lol

Or maybe im reading too much into this idk but i absolutly adore this theory

"Only Emma wanted to take everyone" actually, no! [Manga]

In first chapter, in the final panels, we see Norman wanted to comfort Emma, and said that the three of them should be able to escape.

Emma says she doesnt want anyone to die, so he says its not impossible.

Thats when he starts his plan.

When Ray finds out, he goes straight to Emma and tells her its impossible to take everyone.

Emma says "even if it's impossible, I want everyone to escape"

Ray confronts Norman and says its not good to do things based on emotions. He knows Norman is not like that, and he asks why he acts this way

And its because he loves Emma and would do everything for her, and would even use himself for that.

Norman loves everyone in the house, just not as much as Emma, as he prioritises Emma and Ray (as he didnt have a wish like other kids, but he wants to be with them once he's in human world)

He loves them, but he is smart so he knows it would be hard to take everyone. He works on that as he loves Emma so much he would do everything for her.

Also when Ray confronts him to trick Emma and only take Gilda and Don, he still wants to take everyone even thought he knows its easier to trick Emma than Ray. But he wants everyone to escape.

In short, he works to take everyone because Emma wants to take everyone, but he cares for them.

Now lets go for Ray

Ray was suicidal since he learned the truth. He only decided to live as Norman and Emma were his friends, and he worked to save them.

Ray wanted only them to escape, not including himself. He dedicated his life to save his best friends.

He isnt close to aby other child, he doesnt want to as he doesnt want false happiness + its painful to be close, aa he knows they will die sooner on later.

He is later okay with takich Don and Gilda, and in escape arc he says to Emma that he still doesnt want to take everyone, but he will do what Emma wants and asks her to use his and Norman death to escape.

He wants to take only both of them, as he dedicated his life for them to escape.

He just knows its impossible, and also because he thinks they will be trouble for them, and that he was never close to any of his siblings, except for them.

Now for Emma.

She loves all of her siblings, so she wants to take everyone as she cant leave them to die.

The thing is, she isnt as naive to not know its impossible.

When she has fight with Ray, she says "even if it's impossible, I want everyone to escape"

Later in chapter 10..

When Ray says there could be a traitor, Emma falls into a paranoia as she can't think of anyone as a traitor.

She tries to think that maybe the kid just loves Mama so much. But, even thought she is naive... She thinks "what if theyre doing it willingly?"

She says "I knew it, its impossible" but remembers Connie and that all of her siblings will die, so she can't leave anyone

So... As you can see, everyone knew its impossible to take everyone. Emma couldnt leave anyone behind or they will die, Norman loved everyone but thought only of Emma, but worked to take everyone as he loved all of them, and Ray finally agreed as he was supposed to die - he only wanted to take both of them from the start.

Made this cause i never heard anyone talk that Emma was aware how hard it will be, and other just say Norman didnt want to take anyone else. As for Ray, nobody says why he wants to take only them

Anyway, is Emma's scene even in anime?

I love the mistranslation of "moleskin" in hp

Hagrid has a jacket made of moleskin, its a type of material

Now the thing is in many transkations it literally is translated not as a type of material, but literally like the jacket is made of mole's skins

Yay, foreshadowing!

End of the second year and harry is getting good at using expelliarmus. His favorite spell, probably

Many don't call him a great wizard because he was saved many times by others, but the thing is Harry mastered Patronus while it was one of (two?) things Hermione was nt good at, as she had trouble with it

Also is it just me or did he learn this spell only by watching Snape use it? I mean he says to Lockhart it was bad to let Snape show them the spell, is it teached in second year or he just mastered it by himself?

I wish there was any "good" Slytherins

You might say Slughorn was one, but he stayed silent for years after he told Tom about horcruxes

He was also biased towards muggle borns, he says how surprised he was Lily was a muggle born because she was so talented and how its surprising things like that happen sometimes. He says that he's not, but if thats not biased, then i don't know what it is

As for others like Snape, Draco, im not even saying anything, theres nothing good about them

I heard that there was supposed to be Ron's cousin who would be in slytherin but i don't know if thats just a headcanon, as in this fandom people always confuse headcanons and canon

Who knows the identity of the other?

So about my post, turns out Adrien actually found out about Nino's and Alya's identities when Nino told him, and someone suggested to organise who knows

Marinette knows all Parisian superheros identities, including past holders of peacock Miraculous (Colt fathom, Tomoe and Nathalie) and Gabriel

But i think she supposedly only knows Bunnix, Carapace, Rena Rouge, Trionyx and Aspik. And Kagami and Felix but only they're aware

Bunnix knows everyone's identities

Lets organise this, everyone needs it

How did Japan reaction to Sosuke calling his mother by first name?

So Sosuke calls his mom, Lisa by her name,while seniors ever to her as his mom. Sosuke even explains to Ponyo that she is his mom. And with his father too

And now the thing is, thats weird. I mean of course there are children who refer to their parents by name but I, like to many, find it totally disrespectful. Then what about japanese people, where japan is so strict with respect to elders?

Just a random thought. Yes i know why they made the choice to have him refer by their names

Edit: can i just point out everyone's comments are offtopic?

u/Yumi_Numi — 3 months ago

So, Adrien was so surprised that Nino and Alya know their identities...

In rocketear Nino tells Adrien he is a superhero and that he knows Alya is a superhero too

This shocks him because he was always told that, no, he cant know their (lb cn) identities while she was the reason they found out (or actually nino because Alya knew)

And now, he was surprised, shocked and at the end of the ep, i would say silently furious about that.

However he never mentioned this to Ladybug because it would obviously mean that Nino told Adrien, so Adrien is CN.

But i wonder, would he ever bring this to Ladybug in the series? Like i know Ladybug and Cat don't fight, but yk... Mmmaybe? If not then why to do that?

Also in general Nino said that to marinette and Adrien in season 5 and in s6 they have them their miraculouses, so that kinda played off

Also offtopic i always thought Adrien ACTS surprised when Nino tells him about their identities, yk to play the role. But now that i looked at the scene, no, he is genuinely surprised Nino is a superhero. But, he should know that? He knows identities of every superhero from s3 ep 26 right?

Like, please, can they start to type things down what is important? Like in seasons 1-2 it was obvious quantum masking makes people unable to guess their ages (Alya asking Ladybug for her age, in sapotis she uses an app to find out how old is Ladybug) but in nyc special and onwards like in qilin its mentioned theyre KIDS and im losing my mind since months because of it. Oh and lila says Ladybug is young

Anyway i think that it wouldnt make sense if marinette knows that like Adrien knows? Because how cat nie would know that but then why they made it in s4 could nt they just say that in s5 then lllike

What are some canon things never said in the books?

Like confirmed later or something

If its speculated only, please point it out‼️

Those speculated things would be Hermione inventing "point me" for Harry in one of the games and Flitwick being great in duels but its only mentioned in hogwarts mystery, but those were never in the books

Edit: sorry! Turns out those both were in the books actually
