okay. snake of clearing eyes. me ga saeru hebi. this fucker. word vomiting here since i've had these thoughts for So Long and i need to put them all somewhere.
clearing is obviously the villain of the story. he is the sole cause of everything bad happening in kagepro. he also represents trauma itself to the mekakushi dan and azami. i believe he is more supposed to be perceived as not a solid character like azami for example, but rather a force.
jin intentionally doesn't really give him a defined personality, same goes with the other snakes. they act upon their namesakes and clearing is no exception. his name, "clearing eyes", is supposed to mean he has more awareness, more sentience, than others. makes sense as he serves as azami's intelligence. due to this, he believes he is "above" the other snakes despite not really being too different from the others. he acts upon his namesake like them. he still serves azami just like them. he doesn't really stand out, which may be why he tries to gain autonomy.
clearing represents everything wrong with the dan and azami, he was born from azami's trauma, he was born from a lack of love, therefore he cannot quite understand it and deems it as a useless human emotion. he doesn't feel love towards azami, it's more devotion. he was created to serve azami as with the other snakes. azami technically is a mother to him as she "gave birth" to him, but he does not view her as such. he only views her as his master. his reason for his actions throughout the story is for the sole purpose of fulfilling the wish that azami made that brought him into existence. he is devoted to this, he is devoted to azami regardless of who else he's serving (ex. kenjiro or marry) and he holds no love for anyone.
clearing really isn't supposed to be viewed as a character like azami or the dan. jin shows this with how he writes clearing, even clearing himself is aware of this. he knows his place in the narrative, he acts exactly how you'd imagine a monster to act. how he *thinks* a monster should act, like having a disregard for the lives and emotions of humans or causing tragedy wherever he goes. his true role is to basically make azami remember her roots, bring her back to her lonely and sorrowful existence as a monster because it's how *he* thinks a monster should live. applying all these human characteristics to a character that intentionally lacks these things is where things tend to go wrong. when you do this with clearing, it takes away from his character, in my opinion. it literally goes against his character.
hey it’s me lol
Hello there TsukiAza nation, can I interest you in some crippling angst during these trying times?
i just had an idea.
whenever you see this post, please open up the notes, go to the reblogs tab, find the latest reblog WITHOUT COMMENTS, and then reblog that one.
dont add comments or tags when you reblog, just post it as-is. and dont just reblog whichever one ended up on ur dash, you might fuck up the chain. also, dont queue it, that will probably also fuck up the chain.
i want the reblog ball graph for this post to just be one long, continuous chain. a long snakey bitch. we can do it. i believe in us. we got this. its snake time babey
Welcome to own-mp5's late night rables (it's currently almost 2 am as I'm writing this)
> You know, I once mentioned to a friend about how I really do not want Frau Eva to exist in limbus, but the thing is it's not because of the whole "loving her" thing sinclair goes through, more so the illiteracy of the fanbase handling this plot-point if it ever happened, because people already cannot handle the fact that he's an adult in here but then having a character that sinclair claims to "love", even though he clearly loves the motherly affection given by her, something that he lost by growing up too soon. The entire book has him yearning for Demian every once in a while and it's so blaitantly obvious that if you'd read between the lines that he's supressing those thoughts and feelings (especially if you've read his dreams those were sure something) he's not beating the gay allegations is all I'm saying. But I'm sure some people will miss the mark on it and claim that his affection towards Frau Eva is romantic.
> On a related but also unrelated note I actually do not believe Frau Eva will be a character in game mainly because the whole worlds development and stuff feels way to disconnected for it to have her as a character, which now that I'm typing this out makes me think of the line in towsg sinclairs uptie story where Faust is described as a "mother bird" in a sense, which could alure that the people around him are the representation of that maternal love he craves. I wonder how limbus will handle the book from here on out because Kromers stuff was just barely 3 chapters....
Anyways all I'm saying is I do not want people to get the wrong idea orz
*sigh* something something the two-dimensionality of saeru's characterisation is a writing flaw, not a feature, and trying to pass it off as a feature whilst berating anyone who sees it as a flaw is uh. A Choice

Here's another campaign I trust, I spoke with the woman behind it for a while. Her name is Mona Abu Hamda, she's been using donations received through paypal to buy food and other necessities for people in Rafah, today she distributed water for 1000 people for free thanks to the donations! I'm very very impressed with this initiative and this woman.
Here's the gfdme for the evacuation:
Here's the p4ypal for the on-the-ground relief initiatives.
Please donate! Or at the very least share this post.
