TRIP ALBUM 06

rei’s monologue in the second to last chapter is everything to me. maybe I’m reading into it too much, but this feels like foreshadowing for deeper adonis development… “adonis’ love is a wonderful thing. sweet, pure, and warm. and that’s why it’s so poisonous.”

ive always believed the reason why rei and adonis developed so differently despite being so similar deep down was because rei grew up shouldering the burdens of an adult and seeing love as indistinguishable from obligation, while adonis grew up in a truly loving family, so he has a healthier conception of love. but adonis is also just as self-sacrificing. maybe that changed between saqr faith in !-era and burning body in !!, where adonis goes from singing about not caring if his body is burned up by the sun to singing about wanting this fire in him to drive him… but maybe it hasn’t changed. will rei have to stand by and watch as adonis is devoured by his own love? as his mother’s love “becomes a chain that binds him”?

(adonis event story spoilers under cut)

so you’re telling me urania was a child, shouldering burdens no child should ever have to shoulder, when adonis comforted her with his song? a simple comforting gesture that meant nothing to him and everything to her? a gesture he forgot almost immediately, but that she carried with her for years to come? that she brought all the way with her to japan?

wow! that story doesn’t sound familiar at all to another experience in adonis’ life. anyway, im going to go listen to the fully voiced Reincarnation: Chapter 8 from the !-era story Resurrection Sunday for no reason in particular.

Koga: Ah, it's Saturday already?

TRIP ALBUM 04

im absolutely euphoric looking at the lyrics of swingin' paroniria, it's like the cutest sweetest most fun sequel to forbidden rain. instead of a sad song about the monstrous singer pushing away their human lover for "their own good" and repressing their true feelings, it's a silly song about the monstrous singer accidentally catching (reciprocated) feelings for a fling to their increasing horror, wrapped in the extended metaphor of a neverending nightmare. what's more undead than that? adonis' last line being "You're absolutely terrifying... BEAUTIFUL" it's hilarious and heartwarming all at once. it seems the singer's lover is a bit of a monster themselves ❤️ they've come so far, and i'm so proud of them
