top 5 ToG headcannons (?)
Yesss~ ToG thoughtss crafting go
1. I honestly go back and forth between a couple variations of the same theory, but I honestly don't believe that the 'princes' (but mostly Wangnan) actually have parents. Either its the clone theory, or the insistent terminology of "seed of the King" has more significance than we know (I like this one). Added to that, Wangnan 'inherited' something the others don't have (the horns/his title/the Sword), and may or may not have named himself. 2. Bam/or whatever may be possessing his body is some form of beast of destruction/demon, and Rachel is aware of this. The first time Bam saw her, she appeared to have entered the cave wielding a knife, as though she were expecting to get attacked by something, and has confessed that she "fears the night." This might play a part in how easily monsters like Thryssa and the Leviathan adjust to him. Kinship.
3. This is a silly self-indulgent one but, Miseng is related to the Ha Family. Her true power and berserk mode brawling potential reads like something you would expect from the Ha Family and I would not be the slightest bit surprised if it was revealed that she has Great Family ties. She's noted as having a 'strong soul' and is surprisingly durable for such a young girl as well.
4. Rachel knows Arlene personally, and may have even been taught by her. Rachel has mentioned Arlene a number of times, and each time with some degree of familiarity, so I have to assume that they knew each other as well. We know that Arlene left the Tower (somehow) according to her journal and Bam ended up in the cave as a result, so it makes sense that Rachel came into contact with him through some interaction with her.
5. Zahard is similar to Bam in that he has also "consumed" some kind of eldritch being, and made it part of him. This may be an intentional effort of his part to become "less human," possibly to escape fate.
It hurts me to see Bam, such a kind person, filled with so much hate and anger towards someone. Even if that someone is White.
i’m not lateeEeEeEee! i do not know about the others, but personally i still have the 2nd day of the event. time zones are strange things. i’m so busy that i don’t have time and energy for something better than clumsy sketches :( insanely ashamed of the quality of the drawings i post, but i so wanted to participate in this :(
Concept: Bam is overwhelmed by his power during a battle, slowly loses his mind and Khun is the only one who can calm him down.
TOG OST dropped and I’d like to thank Kevin Penkin and the other composers and musicians for my entire life
Today I have this strong khunbam feels after reading a great fic.
bam is the protagonist ever in terms of character design, little stick of a boy, wears bermuda and cargo shorts almost exclusively when given the choice, baby faced, single most deadly character in nearly every scene. fug trained him harder on having a Cool Dude Aesthetic than anything else in between s1 and s2 and it was all ignored
He’s too precious and I love him
so imagine tower of god but each time khun and bam have to part their ways (like during hell train arc) khun gives bam a goodbye forehead kiss
The inescapable void that forms after finishing a manhwa of 652 chapters.
it’s a pet peeve of mine to see people complaining about how Bam is a “simp” overly attached to Rachel. like, yeah, no shit he’s attached??? she is literally the only person he’s ever known at the start of the story. he was born in a fucking cave with nobody else. his life was rocks and Rachel, isolation can destroy a human, let alone growing up in it. she raised him, taught him, cared for him, fulfilled every social need he had for his entire life before promptly trying to ditch him. even more so, she intentionally manipulated him into staying in the cave and depending on her. she’s taken advantage of him time and time again for her own goals. she teaches him that betraying a girl (her) is unforgivable then repeatedly betrays him for nothing but her own benefit. Rachel wanted him to be unable to be independent and keeps tugging him along so Bam has to keep following her if he wants to learn anything about his past
he’s not a “stalker”, their relationship isn’t even hinted to be romantic, he’s just trying to understand her. he doesn’t even resent her until she hurts his friends. if your lifelong best friend pushed you off a cliff and sold you to a terrorist organization with no warning and explanation, wouldn’t YOU at least try to get some closure? he doesn’t forgive her at first because he’s “stupid” or even naïve, it’s because he’s been repeatedly abused
his primary character motivation is not wanting to be alone. he cares so much about the people around him and very little for himself since, again, abuse. I guess if you just don’t like that writing direction agree to disagree live your life but for people who think Bam’s just dumb or it’s a weird crush congrats on missing Literally The Entire Point
I love how they showed these two first, like they knew something happened to their precious turtle
Bam: *limply hugging a pillow on his bed*
Khun: *lays next to Bam, hugging him* One of those days?
Bam, cuddling into Khun’s shoulder: Mhm.
Khun: It’s okay, I’m here for you.
Bam, mumbling with a smile as he closes his eyes: Thank you.
Khun: Of course.
Thinking about how Bam has been dehumanized multiple times by people and the system in Tower of God, only seeing him as a weapon or a monster. We even get from Rachel that his own mom saw him as a monster. And now his father is doing the exact same thing.
His parents only ever saw him as a vessel for revenge. They don’t care about Bam himself.
And the fact that this is happening in front of Khun and Endorsi, the two people who’ve purported Bam’s existence as his own is even more insane. They have to watch the one they love be puppeted around by a random ass man
Zahard x Arlene is SO "strangles you with the red thread tying us together" core... Zahard remaining haunted by Arlene's prophecy for the rest of his life and Arlene devoting the rest of HER life to her all consuming hatred for Zahard and setting said prophecy of his downfall into motion.
Forget about her so far pretty generic romance with V, (often further distilled down into the blandest possible core of m/f ('he was a boy, she was a girl', 'wholesome') without even acknowledging the edges canon gives them (going to war together - the whole "battle couple" thing you could make out of that alone - , what about their underlying ideals? Edahn doesn't mention Arlene as particularly taken with Tower residents and even acting as frequent intermediary between Zahard and V, so how did they mesh in that regard? Having to watching it all crumble, slipping away as literal fugitives, the breakdown of their relationship potentially even prior but definitely following their sons murder, etc.)), Zahard and Arlene is where it's at. It's literally the dynamic that created the plot of Tower of God.
