The most soul-wrenching version of Crocomom/Crocodad that my brain has cooked up is the
“Crocodile wanted to keep his child but was essentially told that the child he just gave birth to died and he’s not given the chance to see said son even once.” (aka we are lying to you for some reason and your son has been whisked away by the baby daddy)
So now he’s been emotionally shattered and has become so deeply bitter and guarded. Better to focus on a grand plan, burn the past away and devote himself to the future. Then when it hits, the the realization that his son is right there and still talking to him after he previously tried to kill him is going to completely break him again
also severe denial at any initial gut feeling that something is up with this rubber kid.tm
Its rooted itself into my skull and it aches

Satoru Gojo had never dated a fellow sorcerer. In fact, it was almost like an unwritten rule of his not to. It would be too complicated, too annoying. Too much work. On the occasion he did go out with a girl, it was always someone random, someone normal that he’d run into whilst out and about in the city with Suguru. It didn’t happen often. Suguru always says it’s because he’s too obnoxious and girls like a guy who acts like a gentleman rather than a ‘petulant man-child’ (Suguru’s words). This usually earns Suguru a forehead flick.
One time, when a girl had stomped away after one of Satoru’s stupid comments, Suguru had smirked, a lovely blonde-haired girl holding onto his arm, absentmindedly playing on her phone. He leaned over to Satoru’s ear and tauntingly whispered, “I can give you a few pointers if you need it.” This earned Suguru another forehead flick.
Satoru had briefly considered it, though he’d never admit it. Asking for pointers, that is. Suguru seemed to be having a much better time with girls than he usually was, which didn’t make sense because Satoru was basically a god (that had to count for something, right?) but whatever.
So yeah, Gojo didn’t date other sorcerers, but as he watched you walk down the stairs, the way hair bounce with every step, your uniform skirt swayed against your thighs - he changed his mind right then and there.

Looking back at the prologue movie
Now we’ve finished S2 I wanted to look back at the prologue movie and see if we can make sense of it. I had a ton of fun previously theorizing on what it all meant. So I thought revisiting it after we had answers would also be fun! I’m sure most people know the plot but let’s recap anyways!
The Plot
The plot of the movie is a king summons a demon (for what for we don’t know) and he finds a human promises him happiness and the human promises to pray to him every night. The movie then ends before the demon could be named with Barbatos shushing. The story is voiced by Solomon’s VA.
Who is who?
The Demon: A demon named Nightbringer. We know tons and also nothing about him. He has time manipulation powers, has a history with Solomon, and has taken MC to the past for his goal (which we do not currently know). His identity is hidden and the most popular theory is that he’s Barbatos.
The Human: This a bit anticlimactic; the human could be Adam. Who we help to reach the open the Celestial gates and enter Celestial Realm to meet his lost lover, who’s assumingely Lilith. He’s also how we find out Nightbinger’s name. We have not heard from him since, although he was mentioned once afterwards when referring to why Mammon is a scaredy cat.
The King: Now this is the most interesting one. We currently don’t have a concrete answer who this is but we may have a solid candidate—the Fairy King. At the time of the prologue movie’s release the only kings we knew of were Diavolo’s father, The Demon King and Solomon. Although it was never confirmed it is widely accepted that Solomon was a king at some point in time. The issue was neither of these previous candidates made any sense. We know much less about the Fairy King and thus we’d be able to fit him better into this role.
The Plot 2
We know this is the scene where Adam and Nightbringer met and how they formed their deal. The game says that Adam walked until he couldn’t and ended up in the “The Land of Shadow”. Given how long that would take, it’s very likely Adam had long passed and was just a wandering soul when he met Nightbringer.
It’s stated in game that he was promised by Nightbringer that the one bearing the ring of light and wielding the power of angels would come and open the Celestial Realm’s gates to reunite him with his awaiting lost love. With MC doing just that.
Unfortunately this is where everything we know stops. The game has barely mentioned Nightbringer after a certain point and we haven’t seen or heard from Adam since lesson 8. Despite it NB being 2 Seasons (40 lessons) in we don’t have any solid answers.
I’d really like hear you guy think!

This is a fun collection of quotes from the Let It Be Beatles Interview with Mark Lewisohn conducted on August 20, 2018. This is mostly for @mythserene's enjoyment, but it's also a fun lil supplement to this comment by @talking-perfectly-loud on a post by @anotherkindofmindpod, which includes some revealing, deeply salty quotes by Lewisohn from an episode of Nothing Is Real.
The below soundbites focus on Lewisohn's feelings towards the Harrison estate, particularly Olivia, though Lewisohn also lets us know that he considered suing George at one point. Italics used to indicate tone; bold font is added emphasis by me.
This is from ~1hr8min into the interview, after a discussion of Mal Evans diaries. Here's a partial transcript:
"No, no, Olivia Harrison doesn't want anything to do with me at all. Yeah, so it's very frustrating because I just want to make the history better and better and better and more and more correct, especially more and more correct in terms of balance on all four Beatles, but whatever."
This is a longer clip (6:26) from ~1hr23min in the original interview. They're discussing Lewisohn's falling out with Apple/the Beatles/George in particularly, which came about because he was falsely accused of bootlegging, or something like that. He's told a few variations of this story.
The first 3ish minutes give some flavor and backstory. Some choice quotes (they're at about 2:50, 4:35, and 5:42 in this clip):
“To the day he died, George blocked me, and Olivia blocks me in George’s name, and so it still carries on.”
“I’ve never, ever leaked, and that was why it was so galling to be accused of being a bootlegger. George Harrison accused me of being a bootlegger to my face in front of a whole film crew, the bastard. I mean, really. A horrible, horrible thing to do. I really should have done him for slander, and in fact at one point I was tempted, believe it or not. Because, you know, I’m a professional, I’m on a shoot, I’ve got a whole unit with me, and he’s accusing me of being a bootlegger in front of everybody, which was- he had no evidence for because there wasn’t any, but that didn’t matter. He was accusing me without evidence, and it was wrong, and um, you just have to put up with these things. These people, they can get away with murder. Celebrities, you know?”
Lest we think George was wilding out solely because of the bootlegging, Lewisohn helpfully clarifies that it was also Paul's Fault:
“The irony of that was that I actually had started off really well with George. I knew George from ’87, personally, and we’d had nice times, and it was- one of the things that flipped it was when I began working regularly for Paul.”
This was the part of the podcast that really took me aback, from around the 1hr43min mark. There's some chatter about Let It Be (the film), and then Lewisohn goes off once again about Olivia Harrison. He's quite impassioned, and then seems to make a conscious effort to talk himself down.
“I don’t know Olivia Harrison. I’ve never met her, which makes her- just- [angry] blocking of everything I do so ridiculous, because she doesn’t even know me. But if, as it would appear, she’s taken it upon herself to perpetuate George’s wishes, which is something that you might expect a spouse to do when their partner’s died, if the partner says, ‘Don’t ever allow this’, then she would take it as her duty not to allow it.”
This is followed by some hedging.
There are several other choice tidbits in this two hour Lewisohn marathon, but Olivia Harrison was foremost in his mind. But don't worry, guys, he's not biased!
