Anyway so there’s something so interesting about Kon’s fear of responsibility and how it’s been reflected from how no one really wants him. Lex Luthor wanted a toy, essentially, an object that was good for the cameras and did what he wanted - he manipulated and abused him and he didn’t care even enough to give Kon a proper NAME. And then we have Clark, and like, I understand Clark’s reaction, how he essentially refuses to have a relationship w Kon for the longest time but the fact remains that Kon was a lost person with the experience of a toddler and the mind of a teenager who’s only ever experienced manipulation before and like this is someone who’s supposedly equal to a god, who’s supposed to be this paragon of righteousness and even he doesn’t want him, even he just sort of leaves him with Ma and Pa Kent, and yeah, they’re amazing, but the fact remains it’s still just someone else who doesn’t care enough to try and build a relationship with him.
And it’s like- Kon is selfish and irresponsible yet he’s also the friend who cares for everyone and scolds them even while he’s reckless. He’s a reflection of how the people around him have treated him while also trying to like not be that! He’s only ever experienced selfishness and abandonment and surface level relationships but he wants more, he wants someone to love him unconditionally and I believe HE WANTS to be that for someone too, so that’s why there’s Kon “Mom Friend” Kent alongside how he’s self centered and reckless and has some issues w commitment.
And like, I don’t mean to say Clark is at fault there, because Kon’s very existence to him represents a violation, his DNA was taken without his permission to make someone who’s there to replace him and who literally did just that for a while. It’s understandable he’s hesitant. But like, Kon didn’t ask to be made, he didn’t ask for any of that, and it’s like he’s just getting the brunt of the consequences anyway.
It’s just so interesting idk

"So say the word and I'll be running back to find you
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight
Of your starlight"
No the Simon brainrot hasn't left me, it's just evolved into... super duper self-indulgent AUs now.
Meet Glitchy!Simon (nicknamed Itchy by some friends, hahaha). I got inspired to make a whole AU because of this one little glitchy moment in the finale. I mostly just wanted to play with the aesthetic and it suddenly developed story?? And lore?? And I've been doodling him for over a month now?? I'm a mess LOL...
I've been too shy to post any of my shenanigans for him publicly, but I was really proud of this comic and figured it was a good way to introduce him!

TRANSCRIPT START
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Okay, I started the recording. What do think we’re expecting from –
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Well, this certainly isn’t something you see everyday.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Oh my god… what is this?
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Bodies, Atsushi-kun. Really, really dead bodies.
A murder scene like this comes once a blue moon.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
…
Have you ever seen anything like this before, Mr. Dazai?
[DAZAI OSAMU]
No time for that Atsushi-kun! Get that camera out, you know what to do.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Hh... Okay, deep breaths. Through the mouth.
*click* *whirr*
*click* *whirr*
*click* *whirr*
[Dep. MINOURA]
Oi! What are you two doing?
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Ah! He-hello, we were ju-just –
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Deputy Inspector! Hello, do you remember us? We’re from *rustle* the Armed Detective Agency, you commissioned us for this investigation?
[Dep. MINOURA]
The ADA.. That’s right, you’re that freak from the river. We specifically requested Edogawa, not you.
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Ranpo-san would have loved to join you here today, but he was obligated to other arrangements and asked me and my associate, Nakajima Atsushi, to go in his stead. But I assure you can trust me with this case. You are looking at the second greatest detective at the agency, after all.
[Dep. MINOURA]
Hmph, very well. Demonstrate your deductive ability. You, kid. Get back to work.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Ah, right!
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Of course.
*click* *whirr*
*click* *whirr*
*click* *whirr*

[DAZAI OSAMU]
It seems the victims were impaled quite rapidly. The material they were hung from is a blend of polyester and… *sniffs* wool. It’s in long strips, seemingly torn from a longer sheet. It’s the kind of textile you’d find on a winter coat. It’s far too warm for this sort of cloth.
[Dep. MINOURA]
How do you figure?
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Oh my coat is made of the same material.
*click* *whirr*
Anyways, the way these bodies have been sliced looks like they were cut by the fabric itself. On some of these dismembered parts, there are traces fibers along the serrated edge.
…
This is the work of something inhuman.
*click* *whirr*
[Dep. MINOURA]
That’s impossible.
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Is it?
[Dep. MINOURA]
*grumble* Edogawa would have at least given us something that was grounded in reality to work with.
…
The effort is appreciated, Dazai. Tell your photographer to give us his copies and get the hell out of here.
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Sure thing, Inspector-san!
*click* *whirr*
*click* *whirr*
*click* *whirr*
Hey Atsushi-ku– AH
*click*
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Oops, sorry Mr. Dazai!
*whirr*
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Right in the eyes! I’m blinded! I’m blind!
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Really sorry! I was really occupied with these photos, I didn’t see you! Really– ah. What’s with the scary look?
[DAZAI OSAMU]
*hiss* next time pay more attention to your surroundings protege-kun. Careful where you point that flash. Whatever. We’re gonna blow this joint.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
So soon?
Thank goodness.
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Yeah. We’ve done as much investigating as we could for now.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Do you have any ideas as to who caused this Mr. Dazai? This crime scene is… more elaborate… than anything that I can imagine.
[DAZAI OSAMU]
I just might… Atsushi-kun I’ll be leaving you here. I want to do some further sleuthing.
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Huh? You’re taking on more work on purpose, Mr. Dazai? That’s… new.
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Yep! I trust you can make it back to the Agency on your own and log the evidence for us At-su-shi! You are our star at documentation!
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
Wait–
[DAZAI OSAMU]
Bye now, Atsushi-kun!
[NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI]
There it is. I guess I never had a choice huh? I’ll see you tomorrow then, Mr. Dazai.
*rustle*
*click*

27/05/2010
Mr. Dazai has been in and out of the office since Monday. I’m kind of worried he’s avoiding me, because I tried to speak with him and he just brushed past me. Maybe he’s just stressed from this case. With this job as a crime scene photographer, I’ve seen some truly horrific sights but I have to agree, there’s no way a human being could have caused this sort of brutality. The problem is, that it just makes no sense. I wonder how he’ll figure this out. In other, better news, Junichirou will be coming to the office after his school tomorrow. I want to see if he can help me fix my camera. It’s been really finicky since Monday, and I can’t figure out why. Maybe the internal components got a bit corrupted or something. In any case, I hope it’s not too difficult of a repair.
That’s all for today, then. See you around!
N. Atsushi
