imagine the psychickers finding out about kubosai flirting and crushing on each other, so they observe for longer and its... really obvious. but neither of them are making big enough moves, so they try to help set them up..
but kusuo refuses to even admit it when they ask about it.. so they go to AREN instead and that boy is an absolute open book when it comes to his feelings (ESPECIALLY when it comes to romance) so they manage to get him to admit his crush pretty easily..
but hes like "im not even sure he likes me! hes always awkward when i try to flirt and he doesnt really reciprocate.. ive been waiting for him to give me a sign he likes me back, but he hasnt.."
and the psychickers are like oh girl... him being awkward and NOT completely avoiding you literally IS him reciprocating..
WAITING FOR HIM TO GIVE YOU A SIGN?? my brother in christ do you have any idea who youre talking about.. he could be madly in love with you and still deny it to high hell and never do anything about it..
they tell him about the year before when saiki had a crush on satou and he found out his favorite music, comics, and drink and just stood at the school gate with those things to try and get his attention.. and was so upset when it didnt work.. and aiura prob told kusuo that it OBVIOUSLY didnt work because it was creepy and he should just TALK to him instead, and kusuo was just like.. why tf would i do that..
so now arens eyes are OPENED and he actually has to DO something

I really think this episode is when Kazuki and Rei really face the reality that they are Miri’s FATHERS. Like, it finally sunk in.
The lady here uses otou-sama, which is a very formal way to address the two of them, very stuffy. But also very…Japanese. In Japan, it is very commonplace nowadays for little kids to use papa and mama when addressing their parents, but those are still seen as loanwords. They don’t carry the same weight as being referred to, and seen as, FATHERS.
That question and how they would be perceived by others really hit them here. They aren’t just playing house at home anymore, they are out in society and are going to be perceived as this Miri’s fathers. That may also come with the assumption that they are a couple or in a relationship with each other.
They both look uncomfortable here at that realization, but neither one really denies it either. Of course, this daycare is very unwelcoming and the lady far more judgmental than Anna. So that also likely plays a part in how they feel and react here too. The first daycare they go to focused more on the business side of things.
The room is huge, but empty, the walls are colorful, but not bright. Miri is sent off to play with blocks and the lady never directly addresses her or asks for her thoughts on things. Everything about this daycare is unwelcoming and uninviting and unaccepting, so Rei and Kazuki act coldly to this initial realization and the usage of the word FATHER here, seems very fitting.
It’s not a happy, bubbly, childlike, and even fantastical like the word “Papa” is. And the lady interviewing them, was definitely judging them, even before Miri started mentioning some more…suspicious stuff, lol.
Now, when they go to Aozora Daycare, Anna also addresses them using the word father in Japanese, but she goes with otou-san, still formal, but not stuffy and far more common and approachable. It’s still not “Papa” though. She only uses “Papa” when she talks to Miri about Rei and Kazuki.
(In the Japanese she directly addresses Kazuki first by calling him otou-san and then stating that she was asking Miri, not him, haha).
We are met with understanding here, though. Not judgement. The walls of Aozora are filled with children’s art projects, a piano that indicates singing and dancing time as a group, and warm smiles and comfy clothes. Everything that indicates a child-first daycare center.
The whole interview process ends successfully. The daycare views them as suitable parents and Miri got accepted into the school.
And while Rei looks disinterested during this entire interview. He was paying just as close attention to everything as Kazuki was, and if watch the high-five scene with a good eye, you can see that Rei actually has his hand up and waiting for Miri’s high-five before Kazuki.He understands her and her flow so well.
The rest is going under a Read More due to length.

If I’m being honest what I thought would happen is all the shatterspace versions would meet and once all the versions of a character met, like say all the knuckles met, they’d combine to creat the original and the ghost in the original world would disappear to prove that it was them; and eventually it would come down to the Amy’s and rusty and black would have a dramatic sad last hug before the Amy’s combined and everyone would be back and the shatterspaces would fade away… sure, there are holes- but any good theory has them? *Awkwardly tries to find way to finish paragraph*
Thinking about Sonic finally being forced to accept that his universe cannot co-exist the multiverse he created and having to essentially kill a version of his brother who so desperately needed his help, something that goes against all his morals considering he wouldn't even willingly kill someone like Eggman, and his only other choice is to leave the friends he's spent his entire life with as ghostly shells of themselves forever. Just a situation where somebody has to die, while none of them are deserving of death.
Mildly scared they are going to either butcher Nine and the other shatter space characters just to make them clear villains or they're going to somehow have the original green hill co-exist with the shatterverse just because "It's a kids show so they so clearly cannot ever kill a character!! Death is bad!!" But hopefully not because it would be such a bittersweet ending, especially if Nine and Sonic are on good terms before his death. Imagine a scene where Sonic hesitates with restoring Green Hill, not wanting to lose Nine or the others now that he isn't so tunnel-visioned and sees the others as what they are, their own people, but Nine encourages him and accepts his death.
Part of me sort of doesn't want this just because Sonic is kind of an asshole and also the one that practically murdered his friends in the first place with his ignorance, but I think the trauma of being forced to decide between Nine and Tails and going against every moral he's ever had is enough punishment for his actions honestly. I'm really hoping he gets some character development in s3, if not then I want him dead.
it was all an excuse to draw this
