#TPN References

[fullscoreshenanigans]

do you know where to find all the tpn official arts outside of the manga? I also want to know where to find the artbook content so I was wondering

I'll have to open this up to @1000sunnygo but my understanding is Art Book World is *the* quintessential collection of TPN art outside of Demizu's character birthday drawings and other pieces on twitter created post-2020 (I have a little incomplete collection of them in my Posuka Demizu tag, with these being my personal favorites of the trio).

Highly recommend purchasing if you have the means and access, not only for the art but also the insightful interviews.

All the art is sourced and divided into sections based on the source.

(Volume 13 frontpiece rough. 🥺 And the volume 14 cover rough is very cool.)

If you're looking for the original raw covers of WSJ featuring TPN, here's a link to them on WSJ's wiki.

If you mean the promotional anime art that typically is put on clear files and turned into acrylic stands, as far as I know no one has ever compiled them all together in one single-page gallery for browsing outside of online shops selling them. (My small tag of it is here.)

On tumblr there's @just-like-playing-tag's compilation lamenting how TPN Committee can't be bothered to understand Emma's character and preferences because marketing that she's a girl takes precedence.

Offsite, the closest you'll probably get is TPN wiki's collaboration page listing, though as I've mentioned before don't confuse tlieilt_625p's art with official promo art. I still have no idea why their stuff is in the wiki gallery pages; it just serves to confuse more people.

For example, the TPN x Princess Cafe collaboration:

Their style is insanely close to the official art on a quick glance, but the heads and limb lengths and widths are a bit off.

My favorite promo collaboration art is probably with Megane Flower glasses (cute comic focusing on it by @kewstiny) just because I'm always a sucker for characters who normally don't wear glasses wearing glasses and vice versa, but also for reasons addressed here.

We are ignoring that Gilda, Sonya, and Vincent would have been more fitting for this promo because they aren't as recognizable for marketing. 😔🙏 Fucking crying over Emma either gluing or duct taping the frames to her face or just like...holding them for the shot vkldlf

Honorable shoutout to this collab though

Whippin' this out on a date like "relax, babe, I got this"

#tlieilt_625p's fanart being in there drives me up the wall #1) it's not official and 2) JUST FUCKING SOURCE FANART I hate seeing reposted art without credit #I'm assuming that's why tlieilt_625p deleted their twit because so many people kept stealing their stuff and reposting 🙃 #which is why from the bottom of my heart I fucking abhor pinterest #my experience on there is 10% of fanart is sourced #90% throws caution to the wind because lololol who cares about all the work the artist put into it 🤪🤪 #FSS Asks #FSS Chatter #The Promised Neverland #Yakusoku no Neverland #TPN #YnN #TPN Merch #TPN Promo Art #TPN References #The Promised Neverland Art Book World #Full Score Trio #tlieilt_625p #Yuugo #Norman Minerva #Emma #Norman #Ray #Long Post

August 22nd - Happy Birthday Emma - ft: her tvtropes

#the promised neverland #tpn manga #tpn emma #emma #my edits #i cant say a lot about our girl that i havent already said countless times before but i love her an endless amount & she still remains my #fav shonen protag to this day. she's just so perfect?? & im so insanely proud of everything she's accomplished aahh..but yeah i think i got #this idea back in march..or may? cant remember exactly but regardless i only managed to start it a couple days ago. thats how busy ive #been recently. so i wish i couldve made 'em not look so simple but whatever. obviously the photos are a reference to those that ray took. & #dunno if those cameras can capture stuff in a sepia tone but it works for her colors so here we are. all that might not make as much sense #when i do a set for anyone else or even for a different series but i dont care. this is the idea im rolling with for this birthday cycle.

I'm gonna talk about why Norman like totally has a big fat crush on Ray he's in love with him actually

Bro is literally below him in terms of intelligence at the farm but Norman’s always acting like Ray is superior like wtf kinda gay ass shit is this

He was also like really overdoing it explaining just how smart and cool and logical and dependable Ray is like omfg we get it

ok so we all know he's talking about Ray here right and he's blushing at the thought of bringing Ray with them too that Ray isn't bad okkk trust me on this you need to have a little faith in me while you're reading this ok

bro is so touched like he's seriously shocked too by how much he did for them AND impressed by how smart Ray is (he's literally always impressed by Ray somehow I'm ngl)

he literally suspected that Ray's the traitor because he thinks he's perfect in every way he's like "omfggg no way Ray is COOL and SMART enough to be the traitor noooo"

whatever THIS is... "become my boyfriend now AHEM COUGH COUGH um spy become my spy now 😏"

bro is writing an essay in his mind about how AWESOME Ray is like he's properly losing his mind rn you can't tell me he doesn't wanna be like him at least a tiny bit

speaking of which Norman actually wants to be more like Emma because Ray is more silly with her he's like "grrr why doesn't Ray hit MY head when I'm being silly... I have to be more like her!!!" (trust me on this)

Bro is defending him with his LIFE

Ray's face is always covered in this nightmare and when it's not he's behind Norman he cannot bear seeing him like this

bro's been hyperfixated on this for so many chapters I couldn't even count

he's happy there's an ALLY on the outside because he's COMPHET and CLOSETED

He's actually trying to look at Ray here (proof: I said so and I'm never wrong)

he sees Ray in the room like "ah fuck he's about to come up with some self-sacrificial plan to make sure I survive fuckkkk too bad I'M gonna do that for him though haha"

I'm telling you bro would rather die than let Ray break some bones

idk but this is gay

he wanted to see Ray one last time </3 his eyes were so empty when Emma said he didn't wanna send him off

his crazy admiration strikes once again "he's amazing" SHUT the FUCK up GAYASS

he's so gay even Ray could tell at this point

let's just say bro got inspired by Ray's methods

I don't think I have to explain

Norman's reaction after Ray FAMILY-ZONED him he also broke down crying after this he was in disbelief

I'm pretty sure Norman just made him vice ceo because he just wanted him around I'm not sure if Ray actually gaf about the company or where they got the money (he was probably more focused on actively searching for Emma and now that they found her he's just vibing and eating chips)

and THAT'S why Norman is GAY for RAY and I'm too lazy to write anything more um :3

#tpn #the promised neverland #norman tpn #ray tpn #one-sided norray #sorry guys I just really love one-sided gay ships where the one that doesn't reciprocate knows because of how gay the other is #bonus if the one that likes them is comphet (which is what I headcanon Norman yk for fun >_<) #I actually don't ship any Grace Field ship (not counting one-sided or queer-platonic ones) except Gildanna hehe #the other one-sided ship I enjoy is Gildemma sorry Gilda... but it's ok you become gfs with Anna later see ily Gilda #the queer-platonic relationship I like is Emmay (Emma and Ray) they're my fav duo in tpn EVER!!! bffs and soulmates #Emmay is (queer-)platonic Rayemma I made the name exclusively for that ^_^ #so if you want to refer to Rayemma with that name you'd actually have to say “romantic Emmay” hehe

Bungou Stray Dogs just feel extremely connected with The Neverending Story. In Neverending Story, stories create stories and actually nothing have a end. Connected with it nothing have a start if they don't have story. Stories cause stories so its imposible to finish a story if you live in Fantasia. (The universe in Neverending Story)

There was endless universes endless possibilities endless characters endless situations. The book. Fantasia have a book which everything happen in Fantasia writing in it. Fantasia's book can't search a living creature just can found it . Book written by Old Soul Of the Wandering Mountain. (I can't directly translate it to English because i read it turkish)

Michael Ende (writer of Neverending Story and fascinating fantastic books , his books live forever in my brain) would be a great bsd oc. Michael Ende as a bsd character, ımagine...

People who live in world we know- and world we think we live- can come in to Fantasia. For example Shekespeare describe as a Fantasia traveler. I wonder Howard Philips Lovecraft ever go there ?

So in Fantasia humans who have a brain to understand fantasia's world can travel Fantasia every bsd author and port have a brain to this. Bungou stray Dogs is a theory born in Fantasia's endless meadows, forests, houses. Neverlands

Nikolai Gogol's stories, evenings from a farm near Dikanka, from Ukrania mountains, Fantasia have a visual look to people who look at it.... Ohh

After more than a year of work on this, @0hana0fubuki0 and I are finally able to present our translation of the Religion chapter featured in the TPN Western Literature Analysis book by Kei Toda!

Disclaimers: 

The translations aren't perfect and the wordings picked might not match the desired nuance of the author, as the main translator is not a native Japanese speaker. If there are things that are unsure by the translator, they will be addressed later at the bottom. 

From what I can remember, this book was published at least a few weeks/months before the Mystic Code fanbook and 3rd light novel got released (and based on Part 3, also possibly finished before the last few chapters of the manga were out), so certain observations written here may or may not have been made obsolete by any new information revealed in these specific sources.

Names and terms used within the series follow the Viz English translation, and mentions of the manga’s timeline are double-referenced with the fanbook. 

The ESV translation is used for the Bible verses mentioned in-text. 

Another thing to note is that Kei Toda is looking through this topic as a Western literature/culture scholar, and not necessarily as a theologian.

#Yakusoku no Neverland #The Promised Neverland #TPN Reference #Religion #Kei Toda #I'm now realizing the showing this off here in public might be the equivalent of a flash bomb given the topic #But my friend and I worked really hard to see and finish this project through to the end SO YOLO I GUESS #I had to do so research to make sure of certain parts of this translation for factual accuracy #This chapter was apparently written in 1st person in Japanese and I'm not even sure if that's the standard for this type of thing #I'm too used to seeing 3rd person but in scientific/health-related articles #Christianity #Judaism #Stonehenge

This is not meant to diss or hate on any ships.

Just because I don't like a ship doesn't mean I'm going to go bashing everyone who ships it. If you like it and it makes you happy, go for it!! Ship the rarepair, the characters that barely interacted or never met, or the ship that may make zero sense to others 🤷‍♂️😎

But

Do ya'll ever see a fanart of a ship and you're like "nooooo where is (certain character)???"

me with Norrayemma right now

seeing exclusive Noremma art hurts my soul a bit, never liked it so it kind of did but now it definitely hurts because like... where is Ray?

Of course respect to the artists who draw Noremma, Rayanna, any other ship that I don't care for much but my heart hurts so bad

I like exclusive Norray the most out of the three separate (this hurts) Norrayemma ships (NE, RE, NR) but looking at like, my most recent Norray fanart (one with the fall colors and Lilly) it's just like "Ok Emma must have been taking that picture because WHERE IS SHE?? WHERE IS THEIR WIFE??"

TLDR: I don't like seeing Norrayemma separated, even when it comes to Norray. All or none at this point ☹️ (no hate to ships)

#sheldon rants #press ZR to skip #(Splatoon reference) #Sheldon is a changed man (he's barely 16) #my heart hurts for norrayemma #they're living in my brain right now #can't believe I didn't think about them a few days ago #sheldon from a few days ago better watch their ass #i'm coming for him #the promised neverland #tpn #tpn ray #yakusoku no neverland #tpn norman #emma tpn #norrayemma

Making this a separate tangent from an ask but I cannot stress enough how much I hate that the TPN wiki has this picture of a woman with a baby from the powerpoint ending under Isabella's anime gallery when we have the pictures of her with Gilda and of her sitting with Alicia, Jemima, and Yvette.

She either learned how to play the guitar to honor Leslie sometime after arriving in the human world, or she learned when she was a child at Grace Field, but we just never got to see her play it before. She didn’t have another biological child. “Oh, the lighting is different, that’s why the hair color doesn’t match”/“She dyed her hair” I just can’t fucking believe you lkdjflkds ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

What I would have given for there to be commentary from director Mamoru Kanbe in the S2 Blu-ray booklet like we had in S1’s or any interview with him finally confirming or disproving it's her.

Also hate how the wiki has fanart by tlieilt_625p in multiple galleries because their style is so ridiculously close to the anime canon’s style that you have people confusing their work with official art on quick glance all the time. (I was guilty of this when I first got into the series, too.)

They've deleted their twitter so I can't link directly to any of these, but even if you have countless people reuploading it without asking for permission or properly sourcing it (I also can't stress enough how much I fucking hate pinterest for this kfjsdk), Google search does corroborate this. Sometimes it's more obvious, but there are some pieces with nigh imperceptible differences.

tl;dr: take the wiki with a grain of salt regarding anything other than character birthdays cited in the mystic code book character profiles, character heights listed in the mystic code book character profiles, the interviews page (per @1000sunnygo in the tags of this post; see also here) and most of the release dates (though as of 17/2/24 pages like chapter 112 are inaccurate).

Gilda and Don in a Harry Potter AU!

This is from a DTIYS on Instagram, from @/blueber_ray, it was really exciting to do it 🤎💚

[duckietine]

Some of the relationship sections in the TPN wiki are crazy to me like "Don views Ray as a brotherly figure" ummmm no he doesn't what are you blabbering about??? he literally has a crush on him lol (proof: I said so and I'm right) they say the same thing with Norman and Ray like ok yeah he's totally not in love with Ray haha (ok I'll stop being crazy)

"Gilda views Emma as one of her closest friends and a sisterly figure" GILDA IS FRUITY AS FUCK. Don't get me started on that one entry that says that Anna is Nat's sister figure SHE'S LITERALLY HEAD OVER HEELS FOR ANNA??? CANONICALLY??? It's proper crazy man

thank god they didn't call Emma and Ray siblings or I would've actually blown up (I just don't feel like they have a sibling dynamic at all ok best friends can exist)

#duckie rambles #Sorry guys look I know where those sibling labels are coming from but #I feel like it doesn't mean all that much sometimes and that they just use it to refer to their friends from the orphanage generally #There are a ton of other sibling dynamics tho I just don't see these as sibling dynamics #They're family but not in the sibling way yk what I mean #Like idk how to describe it but they're family in the childhood friend way #the promised neverland #tpn
