(in no particular order)
ace: 2011 parkour youtuber who fell in after trying a really risky jump
leona: 24 year old high school dropout janitor wielding a broom
azul: guy who sells crack in the sewer
kalim: 8 year old private school kid who got lost here on a field trip to the gold museum
jamil: the 8 year old kid's angry mother
rook: teenager who films tiktoks in the sewer during lunch break
epel: college guy who's in the middle of a hazing ritual for his frat
lilia: guy who thinks the sewer is cool and goth and holds photoshoots in there
cater: guy who dresses up as a sea monster to get in one of those paranormal videos
tweels: guys who are actually sea monsters
Something I love about M!iK and don't really see be often talked about is the morals of the story.
Shonen stories usually have to work under the same story restrictions of "power of friendship" and "we can accomplish anything by never giving up!", and while MIK certainly has that, I adore the way they twist it.
Yes, both tropes are present but taken to their absolute extreme. Power of friendship? Ok, here's a huge cast of characters who are all in some level Extremely Possesive of eachother. Never give up on your dreams? Alright, the cast are literal demons who feed on desire.
And the best part is that this is openly encouraged by the story. The story is saying "Yes, be selfish! Chase what or who you want without any shame! Take what you love and guard it ferociously because it's YOURS and no one is allowed to harm it."
Iruma's character growth is not connected to "how much more powerful can he get?" Or "how much better of a person can he be?". He's already powerful and he's already a deeply good kid. His growth is explicitly about how much more demonic he can be.
How much more tightly can he hold onto his loved ones and his desires.
How much more selfish.
Just how refresing is it to read a story where gluttony is a virtue and a goal?
Happy Out Of Touch Thursday

you’re laughing. everybody has come back to tumblr bc every other social media site is breaking just as homestuck comes back, david tennant comes back to doctor who, news is conveyed via canon destiel meme, and a show about MCU loki is airing, in a full revival of the 2012 tumblr era, and you’re laughing.
you ever run into a post and can immediately envision which anime screencaps you’ll paste it on later
Tell me this isn’t how Azul got taken to STYX in Book 6 🤡
It was so funny because he had no clue what was going on, meanwhile the usually nervous Idia was totally calm. It was like they got to swap roles as Azul is usually the one controlling a situation as he has all the details and information, but this time Idia took on that role.
I had a lot of fun drawing Ortho in this reel, be sure to pay attention to his poses and expressions in the background 👀🔥
reddit is having a glitch where it puts the wrong captions over photos and it’s the only thing i care about right now
