salty&petty icha under the cut and dgm249 spoilers
my dgm fan toxic trait is that i can't stand kanda/allen as a ship while i genuinely love their dynamic in general and it was already making me groan to see how the promo material (which was a typical "they're standing next to each other, chill") was getting people to be really obnoxious about it
but now the ending of the dgm249 having this very heartful scene between Kanda and Allen is making me *groans* because it was a beautiful scene that makes me so damn emo and i'm so proud of those two of having grown so close and how much respect there is in this one scene, but the emotion is short lived because i know this scene will become the next big things shippers will talk about and it's already having me *sighs for eternity*
my curse and burden. I usually don't have like, strong aversion to ships so it kills me that i'm just this against the most popular ship on here in my fav fandom. It sucks to have a beautiful scene that actually makes you feel a lot and your only thought is "god people are going to be so obnoxious about it"
but here i am being the first one to be obnoxious about it. hourray.

dgm 247 thoughts: (with spoilers and pictures)
(from a French fantranslation, at this date i do not have any English translation to link to)
-For so long there were speculations about Mana dying out of an accident but the confirmation he died out of becoming weaker and weaker after Allen attacked him is... actually quite horrible. He literally died in Allen’s arms while they were snuggling together this is the worst thing ever.
-Kanda’s “hey let’s go to Mana’s grave i want to check if he’s really dead” iS SO. IT’S SO. LIKE OF COURSE ALLEN LOOKS FUCKED UP ABOUT IT.
It’s so insensitive but can’t blame him when 1) he’s fresh from having seen someone he was SURE he had killed being alive actually, 2) we know Mana is technically Alive.
but still the absolute DREAD of this moment, never change Kanda
-ABSOLUTELY LOVE that they started fighting right afterward, Allen shared the most traumatic moments of his life with Kanda in a rare moment of vulnerability and it ends with the two of them beating each other up
-oghhhh Kanda literally talking about Alma and saying how he can’t believe Mana is dead for sure until he checked because of how traumatizing it was to see Alma was actually alive, end me
-”I believe that due to the circumstances it’s possible Mana is what we refered as the Grey Zone of the war” oh my god Kanda
-Oghh the art is as stunning as ever but i’m genuinely emo over some Mana panels and Allen’s too
Mana looks so tender here
HE’S SO PRETTY HE’S SO PRETTY
also “i understand, now i’m bringing you all into all of this” HE’S NO LONGER THINKING ABOUT CARRYING IT ALL ALONE, a MOMENT OF JOY FOR THIS
-Allen’s set up the Grey Zone officially now, and while Kanda was always ready for it and Johnny too, i’m so touched Tiedoll just nods along and say “yeah ofc i’m joining i need to watch over you younglings” i’m so emo i’m so emo i’m so emo
-LINK
-OH MY GOD LINK?????????,
-I LOVE how Kanda introduces him like “i need you to meet this bastard dog first”, you can really feel the moment from Allen going “seriously i just told you i was named after a dog and you-” bUT THEN
BUT THEEEEEEEEEN
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
NOW ALLEN KNOWS LINK IS ALIVE AT LEAST
-ALLEN HUGGING LINK BC HE MISSED HIM AND WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM IM FULL BLOWN CRYING
-also “i looked at Link’s face and now i’m hungry” ALLEN.
-God it’s so exciting to see the “Grey Zone” in place now, and to see Allen actually discuss everything he knows with them. I’m genuinely going to cry just seeing them in circle discussing it AND THE FACT LINK JOINED THEM........
-And now Link knows that Apocryphos killed him, not like he remembered since Apo erased his memories. that’s exiciting, this might change his opinions on his side as well godd.
-Link 🤝 Kanda
“Us? in danger from Apocryphos? you mean it’s Apocryphos who’s in danger fROM US. WE’LL FUCK HIM UP”
Johnny: you both almost got killed by him though.
Link&Kanda: HEY NOW.
-oh they’re splitting :( Tiedoll and Kanda going back at the Order to investigate from the inside...
-... And Allen, in a rare moment of actually relying on others, actually asked Johnny to accompany him to the Campbell Mansion because only Johnny could bring him back to reality when Nea tried to erase him...
i’m so fucking emo 😭😭
-KANDA THIS EXPRESSION IS SO SCARY
-”The Crow who became a pervert, apparently? what’s your goal” WHAT DO YOU MEAN PERVERT
EDIT:
THANKS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IT MAKES MORE SENSE NOW
-LINK?????????????
WELL AT LEAST LINK ISNT HIDING ANYTHING FROM THE GROUP BUT LMAO THAT HE SHOWS IT LIKE THAT????
-so yeah Link is actually super honest? he tells Allen downright why he’s here, that Lveille assigned him this mission, and that when Allen disappears he will help the 14th. like holy shit man decided i’m no longer hiding anything from Allen ever.
-ok true downside this time wtf Link why are you talking about wanting to “save Lveille” from himself and his own hatred, Link, Link look at me, no need to develop a Savior Complex Link, not for him, he’s not worth it. Focus on your Crow family please my sweetheart.
-Also wow this chapter is making me like Link a hundred times more than i ever did before, i always had a bit of a mixed feeling regarding him (that wasn’t helped by seeing fandom opinions of him tbh but that’s bc i’m super contrarian) but this chapter’s characterization of Link is... genuinely not what i would come to expect of him but also i love it??? am i genuinely starting to love Link now??? after all these years????
-ALLEN WHY
-So now they’re set in motion. Kanda and Tiedoll go back to the Order to investigate it from the inside. Allen, Link and Johnny are all headed to the Campbell Mansion to meet Katerina and get answers (so we WILL actually kick off the Bookman thingy here)
-Their goal: discovering the mysteries under this holy war once and for all
Kanda and Tiedoll will try to search infos about Apocryphos as well as finding Mana’s grave and see if he’s still in his grave
-They’re OFFICIALLY setting a Grey Zone. for how long the manga has been hinting that the true answer would be in the Grey, we’re finally going into it holy shit
Conclusion: first chapter since we left the flashback, first chapter since we see the gang back together, and yet this works SO WELL. Returning to all of those dynamics are SO worth it, i missed seeing them so much, and now my blood is pumping!!! i love all that’s hinted here!!! oh my god!!!
I’m so happy with this chapter and for once in a very long time i’m VERY looking forward where it’s going
also now that Allen knows Link is alive and we know Link will travel with him: DOES THAT MEAN WE’RE OFFICIALLY GETTING CLOSER TO THAT ONE LEAK
INCREDIBLE CHAPTER MOMENT LETS GOOOO

Im watching a tv show (that started in 2018 and is still ongoing) with family i only have a mild interest in but it kinda starts to dwell on Biblical stuff and, more recently, the Noah Ark, and i was just yeah whatever sure that's an american show ofc they would eventually go fully on this
But then suddenly a character started to bring up that the one thing they should consider about Noah was the legends and interpretation saying that "According to some legends, Noah was actually disgusted by God's actions with the flood and wanted to destroy all God had done out of spite making him an agent of the apocalypse"
And i genuinely bursted into HYSTERICAL laughing in full glee, unable to help myself from saying loudly "THAT'S LITERALLY THE PLOT OF D GRAY MAN WHAT DO YOU MEAN IS IT BASED ON A REAL INTERPRETATION????", startling the people i was watching it with
And later on another character went on about "actually Noah told everyone what he thought could save them but was frustrated by how little people listened to him so he begged God to kill everyone but his family making him an agent of the apocalypse" which I'm just HEYO???
All of my time obsessing over dgm and i never looked into whenever this interpretation actually has some root into some readings, so instead i am just vibrating and losing my shit over a show i was just mild over because i can't get over this SUPER SPECIFIC way to target me I'm screaming
Dgm (2014-ongoing) is really That Shit and i may be sure that this interpretation exist but it doesnt stop my brain to go "are you inspired by Dgm HELLO"

sorry i didn’t expect to go this unhinged about Allen on main today, i was just frustrated at some things that got me to read the latest chapters i haven’t read yet and things went out of hands.
But on one hand it might be good to bring up that. You are aware my URL is a reference to him right. Kind of. But to him?
I changed my url to this when my blog was heavily discussing the fact Past!Allen might have been a Bookman, who are the in-universe a clan of archivists.
in the dgm fandom i’m not only known for being obsessed about the Bookman, but i’m the one who really had people discuss the possibility of Past!Allen being a Bookman, which is honestly an extremely solid theory to start with.
(if you’re confused about the “Past” thing just... i can’t elaborate on it on a short post so roll with it).
I’m also obsessed with Lavi, who’s the current Bookman apprentice, and at the time i changed url (to this), i was talking in depth on this blog about 1) Lavi’s fate, 2) Allen’s possible ties with the Bookman, 3) the way the Bookman might be tied to the greatest mysteries of the story so far.
I’ve never changed url since because dgm means a lot to me (been there since 2008, it’ll always mean something to me), and also because it fits a lot with my general vibe of keeping this blog as an archive of the stuff i’m into.
But, this blog name was literally decided when i was still so deep into the dgm fandom i was KNOWN there for being the Bookman obsessed one who had spread out the theory regarding Allen being one.
i don’t talk about dgm much because the manga is published with one chapter every three months and the current arc was an adaptation of one of the novel which i had already read years ago, so not only we have little content, but the current arc didn’t leave us with a lot to discuss about (except on the elements that were added to the adaptation to start with). Not to mention the current arc was dealing with a lot of fucked up and triggering topics that didn’t make for light conversation work.
the only reason i don’t talk about dgm is because i’m in hibernation if you will.
the more you know???

wait last post regarding *waves at my blog* and also spoilers for dgm247:
I wouldn’t be lOSING MY MIND AGAIN if not for the fact Kanda namedropped Alma again in a chapter that’s not even a week old, Hoshino is the one holding me by the throat not allowing me to forget about them even 14 years later.
Also originally i saw the “Alma was alive” panel out of context and you can’t imagine the stuff that rushed in my head before i understood that Kanda was just doubting Mana’s death based on the fact he USED TO THINK Alma was dead. For a strong minute i got fooled into “wait is Alma alive. IS ALMA ALIVE.” and i’ve been having a hard time away from that high ever since.
coughs.
i’m good now i’m normal about it.
