one of my favourite scenes in Saiki is when you learn that one of his powers is petrification but anything in front of his eyes will stop the power
so like a respectable young man, he wears glasses so as to not randomly petrify people!
and then in the same breath you find out that literally any pair of glasses will work but Mr. I-Hate-Being-the-Centre-of-Attention chooses to wear a pair of neon green glasses
i respect his commitment to the bit 🙏
"Moominvalley in November", a summary
i like to think that ever since they met it was mutually ON SIGHT bullying <3
they’re both losers (said with love)
I imagine moomin would not only a) learn a new skill just to make Snufkin a new scarf, but also b) break it in to make it more comfortable for him because this boy would never wear something even vaguely new
smth smth bsd’s recurring theme of your past not defining who you are but facing your past being necessary to move on anyway. the symbolism of atsushi’s abuser being the one to push him forward despite atsushi’s dislike for him—you cannot get rid of him. you cannot stop caring. you will cry when your father dies and you will hate him for it. you will never get rid of the ghost that haunts you but sometimes acknowledging it is the first step to healing. can anyone hear me

Chapter 119 - "Happiness"
there’s a comic in anthology hana where dazai talks about oda and explains how having a true friend is different to the relationships you form with your coworkers/family because they’re a person you can stay with on equal terms despite differences in perspective. and atsushi is kinda disappointed by this because according to dazai’s definition he still doesn’t have any true friends, the agency being mostly his seniors who share his values or kyouka who’s more of a sibling figure, but then dazai smiles and says that he does have someone who could be that for him. and the next panel shows akutagawa. thereby implying that dazai thinks it’s possible for sskk to develop the same level of connection with each other that he had with oda. is that not crazy

(May 2022) Personally, I really like the theory of gojou losing 6 eyes (in a narrative sense).
Possible foreshadowing hasn't been incredibly subtle either. These are from the 2 openings and the Phantom Parade video (Avant by Eve, which is technically not canon but still a recurring theme). Vivid Vice especially had a bunch of foreshadowing for the Shibuya arc, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was slipped in there too.
