Ok, so me, @breakcoreboxcat and @saytrsystem have been discussing a theory on what the doppelgangers from That's Not My Neighbor actually are, and here is what we have come up with (as well as some related headcanons)

So the doppelgangers themselves are actually bacteria that take over corpses and can stimulate a brain to act like it's alive. The bacteria was first developed as a bioweapon, but it's effects have spread to the country you live in. This is supported my the fact the real world D.D.D. deals with infectious diseases and things like that. It also makes sense why the D.D.D. wear Hazmat suits, as well as why it is called a "cleaning process". Since it's a more evolved bacteria it is able to change appearances, hence why it can change the host body to mimic people. That's also why they need to break into apartments, they need fresh host bodies as well as food.

Since it is bacteria, the host is only usable for a week or two if it's lucky, as it is eating the host as it uses it. A freshly infected person will have smaller but still obvious changes in appearance, then there is the sweet spot where they have had the body long enough that they understand how humans work and how to mimic them properly, then the body starts to decay and you get the REALLY freakish doppelgangers.

The cleaning procedure starts with fumigation, which is why you always have to close the shutters first so you don't breathe anything in. The gas itself is more harmful to bacteria, it won't kill a human right away but it will knock them out and by the time they are taken away it's too dangerous to bring them back.

There is a 10 pm curfew for all apartment buildings. This is because there are nighttime sweeps of the town to get any doppelgangers that aren't able to hide. Homeless people are usually moved into buildings where all the people have been killed, and there are D.D.D funded centers for them to go to.

Doormen aren't allowed to leave their apartment building. They are sent bread and butter for breakfast, tea or coffee, and a small selection of dinner items, as well as soap and general hygiene products. Doormen are supplied with gloves and masks, and there are hand-washing stations for people when they come in. Doormen are encouraged to go around to apartments after curfew to check that everyone got home safely, and also to get to know their neighbors.

Each apartment building is required to have a common room type area and an exercise area to prevent the people living there from going stir crazy. Befriending your neighbours is highly encouraged, and socializing is a great way to keep everyone sane. It also helps you recognize if someone is replaced.

All important personnel (doctors, firefighters, ect.) live where they work in case of emergencies. The doormen to their facilities are among the best, and they are fast workers in case of emergencies. The D.D.D. headquarters has even higher quality doormen. They have the first doorman, then a sterilization room, then another doorman to ensure absolutely no doppelgangers get in.

The D.D.D. itself really cares about the citizens they protect. They are government funded, but they mostly do their own thing. But they aren't corrupt and genuinely want people to be safe.

I think if indiana jones' adoring students ever went on an Adventure(tm) with him it would be really funny if that was the turn off. like, a routine dig he was leading for the school goes awry and he has to get all cocky gunslinger ladies man hero mode and the students are like. hey what the fuck. his shirt gets ripped up revealing he's jacked and that one girl is immediately wiping the 'I love you' make up off her eyes. an entire room filled with artifacts gets destroyed while they make an escape and the kids are all horrified. "professor jones. how many people have you killed" "well, do you count the damn nazis as people-" "UNFORTUNATELY YES. LEGALLY YES. ARE ALL ARCHEOLOGISTS MURDERERS." he's flirting with some random woman on the dig and all the students are like what the hell. you can't talk like that. where did the droning and stutter go. why are you not flustered. she inevitably swoons into his arms or something and they're like "oh my God eww he's so sweaty. ma'am literally what's wrong with you. blink twice if you need help". they're so betrayed to find out he never even NEEDED glasses, he was wearing nonprescription lenses in class. Indy's lowkey hurt he's like I thought you guys thought I was cool :( and they're like 'yeah when you're in a bowtie and telling us about sumarian gardening techniques. WHY do you have a whip right now you freak'

#i know jack shit about indiana jones but this is hilarious #lmao

I understand that there have been talks about an Israeli invasion of Rafah and I understand how absolutely catastrophic that would be for what is potentially the most packed area in the world, but I just want to point out that it feels like everyone is anticipating with fear a potential assault on Rafah whereas attacks and airstrikes are already happening and in fact they never even stopped for over 6 months now.

Keep talking about Rafah and keep talking about Gaza. There are absolutely no "safe zones" in Gaza and there never have been.

alright so THE UNDERWORLD SAGA

I was expecting none of the songs to sound as badass as they sound. I thought this would be one of the quietest sagas, as in the songs would be more focused on introspection and stuff like that. But boy was I wrong

Like, the songs are like that and MORE. Specially No Longer You, which is such an unexpected banger for me. My favorite is Monster obviously, which made me realize that in all sagas the last songs are my favorites. So as I said in another post, Monster will be the animatic I'll be working on for now.

In Monster I'll present a little someone that appeared briefly in my Just a Man animatic last year. This shadow figure in the mirror

This is how I envision the "Monster", this dark reflection of Odysseus. When I did this part of the animatic I was already planning on bringing this figure back for when the underworld saga come out. YEAH THIS IS A YEAR LONG SET UP THAT I WAS WAITING PATIENTLY TO PAY OFF.

So my animatic of Monster is probably going to be my personal favorite. I have a lot of cool ideas planned, complicated shots that I still have no idea how I'll pull off and delicious, juicy angst

My headcanon on who in the apartment has a gun (yes, really):

- The Rudboys, obviously. Full on arsenal and weapons in their house.

- Angus. He knows someone who can supply him with them but he isn't involved in anything big or dangerous, he just wants a weapon on hand in case of a doppel break in.

- The housewives, Rafttellyn and Lois. They're at home all day almost everyday and most people aren't around, they need to defend themselves in case anything happens.

- The Peachmans have one but its just a gift from a relative. Neither knows how to use it and both would prefer not to know

- Nacha. A mom's gotta do what she needs to do to protect her daughter

Anastacha Mikaelys, the "Student"

.

Headcanon is that she is starting a Sukeban in her school. She is the leader and has some sadistic tendencies according to her peers.

Also according to the TNMN Wiki Francis is her Dad. So for this Au, it was a teen pregnancy and Francis left them. This allowed Nacha to find her husband but raise her child alone for a little while. However she does not hate Francis because she does not know it is her old flame, he changed his name and cleaned up a lot.

#thats not my neighbor #'cleaned up a lot' #I sure hope you're talking about appearance and not behavior cuz. well

"Israelis know their war crimes are indefensible, so the only option left for them is to try and convince the world that Palestinians are lying about their dead. It’s disgusting and should usually be ignored outright, but sometimes it’s important to see how low they will go."

For those who cannot see the images, click to read the full twitter thread here. And the referenced article about the Israeli diplomat Ofir Gendelman using a clip from a Lebanse short movie to try and claim Palestinians are faking their injuries...

its so insane to me how people will maintain the perspective that occupying armies have to fight by carpet bombing villages and refugee camps because theyre dealing with an enemy that blends in with civilian populations and not realize or refuse to admit thats because theyre fighting civilians who are forced to take up arms against an occupying power

WIPs from a silly little animation I’m working onnn mainly sharing these so I can have some actual incentive to finish it <333

#the magnus protocol

[until-another-one-comes]

idk if it’s the mental illness but sharing literally any information feels like oversharing. i’ll be like “i skipped breakfast this morning” and immediately im like “i might as well have told them where i buried the money”

I noticed TNMN fandom, why are y’all drawing the milk man buff? Izaack Gauss is right there, buff and all handsome and beautiful and stuff.

Just draw him buff and beautiful. Francis should be constantly sleepy and tired, no energy for buff work outs. Wet cat man.

#that’s not my neighbor #nah fr fr #simp for him all you want but he ain't buff #izaack is RIGHT THERE GUYS #give the actual buff guy some love

[until-another-one-comes]

Thanks to the influx of Francis simpery I thought That's Not My Neighbor was a game where your neighbor the milkman is behaving very suspiciously and you try to investigate him and it turns out he's a serial killer or that someone stole his identity or something (hence 'that's not my neighbor')

#that's not my neighbor #turns out there IS an actual psychological horror game involving a milkman but its not this one #its #tentador leches

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.
