seeing the "if you cannot get into paradise when you die you can always stay with me" line get reposted on those like aesthetic quote accounts drives me insane because not only is it a hauntingly poetic line out of context but WITHIN its original context it is DEVASTATING. its being said by a ghost to the guardian of a child because they are trapped in a situation where it is almost certain neither of them will make it out alive and this child's guardian is trying to convince him to sneak out and get help. he knows help will not arrive soon enough, he knows that he is going to die alone in there trying to protect this kid that his actions have endangered, and this ghost is telling him that no, he's not gonna die alone, because he still has him
Do you ever think about how the show emphasizes Reigen and food constantly. All the time. He's constantly eating and it's how he shows affection to Mob, and it's how he apologizes to Mob for prioritizing clients over him, and it's how he desperately tries to win Mob back over when he crosses the line with him. He's practically begging him not to be mad despite the fact he dug his own grave. And when he's at his lowest it's very clearly emphasized that he's not eating. Hunger is used to constantly emphasize Reigen's need for connection and how he connects with people and it always makes me insane. The first time we see Reigen being an actually pretty good mentor to Mob is when he's eating, so many of the times we see Reigen do the right thing is related to trying to provide for people the only way he knows how to do without messing it up. I don't know where I'm going with this because I haven't analyzed it nearly enough, but god is it so interesting. One day I'm gonna sit down and study food symbolism in mp100 but for now I am just trying to get my Thoughts together. What is up there. I love this show
It just makes a lot of sense why Marcille and Laios would be good friends, really, because Marcille Will Tell You What Is On Her Mind. If she doesn't like something, she throws a tantrum. If she's down to clown, she clowns like a champ. If she has an opinion, she voices it clearly and concisely. Laios knows exactly where Marcille stands in pretty much every topic.
On Marcille's end, she's down to clown more than people give her credit for. Laios said "yo let's play with these bones and rearrange them in funny ways" and Marcille joined right in. Like, yeah, she'll want to bonk his skull in sometimes, but aside from the monster and dungeon (well, she does have this one, just differently) fascination, she's pretty much in the same wavelength as Laios when it comes to most things.
Which is cool! Because they could've made them hostile siblings in law but they are besties actually.

One of my hobbies is listening to the tma q&a with jonny and Alex and clipping out bits that I'm like, this is just martin and Jon bickering. The girls are fighting. This conversation could happen in season 5 and I would not bat an eye.
[VD: An excerpt from The Magnus Archives Season 5 Q&A Part 2. Jonny Sims stutters, "... stuff like, it's just, it's just horrible," but Alex J. Newall speaks over him in a disagreeing, emphatic tone and says, "Ah, now you’re— Nothing wrong with a good mold. You can do a lot with a good mold. Also, the Corruption is a Power that you can kick. So I'm okay, I'm okay with The Corruption, doesn't bother me."
Jonny asks, "What do you mean it's a Power you can kick?" and Alex responds casually, "'Oh no, creepy mushroom.' Kick it." Jonny splutters and says, "Yeah, no, what-- You can't kick it-- Like, if the mold has buried into your flesh—" Alex repeats, "'Oh no, creepy mold.' Kick it."
Jonny argues, "If you are rotting, you can’t just... kick your own rot out." Alex says brightly, "Yeah, you can. Kick it." Jonny says wearily "Okay." Alex repeats, "The Corruption is a Power that can be kicked. I have-- I have no time for it." Jonny hums argumentatively and says, "Disagree," making Alex laugh. End VD]
So normal about Jon being like I don’t remember what you looked like but the man who let you die is going to suffer for what he did to you. If only Sasha coulda seen that.
So normal about Jon being like you died hating me and wanting me dead but I’m still gonna make sure this man knows I’m ending him in your name. Sure wish Tim coulda seen that.
So normal about the fact that everyone believed Jon was losing his humanity but no one got to see the ways his love and compassion for the people he lost or who hurt him drove him to that final moment.
So normal about the fact that even after everything Jonah’s done to Jon, the only person he never thinks to get justice for is himself.
i keep forgetting that Super Skeptic Jon isn’t just a meme and every time i relisten to tma i have to take a moment to process the fact that he literally read out a statement about a guy being terrorised by a ghost spider, said very sarcastically that professional help was certainly in order, then proceeded to casually mention that the guys dead body was found encased in web without any tone change at all like go off king process nothing
