Anya, literally from nowhere: THE OCEAN IS A SOUP. Damian, who likes to hear her nonsense: ...Elaborate? Anya: Well, what you normally needs to make a soup? Emile: Well, water. Salt. Some kind of vegetable, and I personally like some meat in mine! Emile: Emile: The ocean is a soup- Anya: THE OCEAN IS A SOUP-

LITTLE TWILIGHT
I just read the new chapter (chapter 113)
first of all, ok so HAHAHNAUDNSKSHSNAIHB IM SO HAPPY this new chapter was SO good, becky teasing damian about the love triangle going on is hilarious (him imagining it is also pretty funny) shojo filter is working overtime.
second of all, ewen and emile are genuinly such great friends to damian, like, their friendship is so adorable and I hope they stay that way
anya being immediately impressed by damians physical manifestation of his paradise fist is adorable ngl ALSO DAMIAN BEING SUCH A CUTE STINKING BRAT WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART
Damian just having nightmares about being jealous will never not be funny
also it looks like anya is getting a bit bored by tertius's and freddys blabbing a bit
and the last panel of master Henderson being mortifying-ly shocked is so funny😭
their friendship is very precious to me
me and you and awkward silence
I honestly got bored WAYYYY too fast making this (which is definitely the reason why the last panel, drawing no. 2 , 5, and 6 look messy mostly because I procrastinated so much I lost the ambition to continue, anyway, I'm so excited to draw more random stuff like this
Btw I REAALLLLYY LOVE LITTLE LOID SMMM HE LOOKED SO CUTEE, when they first showed anyas mom I was freaking out a bit but I hope endo drops more chapters about anyas past, and the new characters????? They're all so adorable, I hope connie and Meg become re appearing characters along with tertius and freddy
Whenever I think about how much Yor loves Anya I feel like my heart will explode like.. THAT'S HER BABY.
Oh man this chapter was hilarious, I laughed so much! But it's also filled with political details and dare I say a setup for future plots and (much needed) character development 👀
Starting off with the confirmation that Ostania is indeed a nationalist country
This is also the first time that an outsider seems to view The Punch as something positive, as though Anya is standing up to right-wing extremism (which would actually be super cool ngl)
All the comedy aside, this is the first child character who's actually aware of politics and international relations. It makes sense that a prince has to keenly study politics and diplomacy, most of his thoughts are about his country and which repercussions his interactions in Eden could have on the grand scheme of things. This kid literally breathes politics, everything from his mannerisms, expressions and thoughts is deeply embedded in his political upbringing. That's quite a burden for a 6 year old kid...
Now let's talk about how this will affect my favourite brat hahaha
They are literal opposites in everything, but I find it interesting how the prince is basically a subversion of Damian (and could probably bring out the worst in him)
Damian thinks he's hot shit because of his father and acts as though he's royalty, but he's maybe a noble at best. He calls everyone who doesn't share his status a peasant and looks down on them. His expressions are brash and very rude and he has gotten reprimanded for it before. He aspires to become a politician, yet he lacks every single skill for that. However he's also courageous when it does matter.
The prince on the other hand is obviously of royal descent, but he's not arrogant at all. In fact, he's just scared of international scandal and a coward. He's humble and eager to befriend his Ostanian classmates and doesn't care if they're "peasants". He has actual diplomatic skills that he applies all the time. He's honest and straightforward in his thoughts and doesn't feel ashamed to openly befriend Anya, even going as far as suggesting that he should visit her home
I can also see him subtly and passive-aggressively make digs at Damian. There seems to be a suggestion that his kingdom is either politically centrist and/or left-leaning and Damian might incorporate everything that prince hates. He would also get away with provoking Damian because he's already mastered diplomacy (for a 6 yo lol) which could ultimately lead to Damian embarrassing himself in front of everyone (and maybe even earn a tonitrus that he kinda deserves ngl). Unlike prince, Damian is impulsive, emotional and just starts to scream at everyone around him. He doesn't know what composure is.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if most of their classmates will start to distance themselves from Damian and no longer put him on a pedestal. Why should they when there's a literal prince among them who treats everyone with respect and is always eloquent, even when he's internally freaking out.
All of this will hopefully trigger Damian's long-overdue character development. The clash with prince is inevitable either way, especially because Anya is involved. Yes I want to see jealous Damian, but I also want him to grow up a little and realize that he's not that important, he shouldn't treat others as beneath him and most importantly he should realize that he knows nothing. He doesn't know what actually makes a great leader and politician. He doesn't know how Ostania and his father are viewed internationally. He's not aware how his actions could actually bear political consequences.
I do hope he will befriend prince in the end though, he could learn many things from him. Only in Eden do international relations form during elementary school lmao
these parallels between Twilights childhood and his time as a soldier/ agent will never fail to make me emotional
