I LOVE THEM

better yet, it's the same fucking universe (just 5000 years into the future)

Man i fucking knew the style in dai dark looked like dorohedoro, thats the same fucking artist

Zaha Sanko doodle, from Dai Dark. Good comic... Revisiting an old art style here, I hope you like it

Is cheesecake a pizza? Y/N

Crust on the bottom, cheese on top.

I need help to settle a debate XD

obviously this is a joke bc canon is a sandbox and everyone is free to interpret it as they will

HOWEVER

i refuse to believe that these scenes are unrelated

~Spoilers ahead~

It could possibly be that he doesn't care about his face anymore because he knows about his past now, except...

This is after all the stuff about Ai and Aikawa is revealed. he knows who he was in the past, he just doesn't remember yet.

it's only after he gets Ai, Aikawa, and Kai's memories that he's like, yeah, I don't need my face fixed. up until then he's still pretty adamant about getting his face back, even though he knows who he used to be

if it was just about knowing who he was in the past and accepting who he is in the present, i think there would more of an indication that he's okay with keeping the lizard face even before he gets the others' memories

Kaiman suddenly being okay with keeping his face doesn't feel like acceptance to me, but avoidance. It seems to me more like he's trying to keep some degree of separation between himself and Kai, or even between himself and Hole, since Kaiman was the one that was influenced the least by Hole. Keeping his face is a measure of control and distance between him and the stuff he does n o t want to deal with. bc lets be honest, there's no way Kai's memories aren't traumatizing as hell. we saw how Aikawa reacted (straight up just avoided dealing with it for as long as possible) there's no reason to think Kaiman wouldn't react in a similar way. keeping his face is a great way to maintain that separation and avoid dealing with the fallout of Kai's actions

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk

You all, fools: Kaiman keeping his face at the end of Dorohedoro is him accepting who he is!

Me, an intellectual: This is avoidance coping. This man has accepted nothing about himself, ever.

Does not understand how he gives off teenager energy.

is probably not gonna stop having nightmares about the time he got murdered. Joined by nightmares of killing/eating his Partner.

A good way to get stabbed is to refer to him as Kaiman’s ex

Failed out of devil training for having an undevilish attitude.

Found out that he was still on the Crosseye payroll when they started sending him his missed paychecks for the time span that he was dead once the organization got back on its feet.

Does not understand how people can mistake him for Kaiman. They look nothing alike other than height.

After the dust settled on the whole Hole-kun situation had a very long talk with Kaiman about their shared history

Is lowkey relived that Kaiman has a lizard face and not Aikawa/Kai’s face. He doesn’t have to deal with the emotional baggage as much.

Doesn’t question why Curse eats the things it takes. (Not personally bothered by cannibalism)

Does think Kai’s head(s) tasted disgusting.

Misses being able to fly.

Due to the whole being murdered thing, can no longer be the little spoon.

Thinks Professor Kasukabe’s door is creepy as hell. Thinks Prof. Kasukabe is creepy as hell in general.

Is good at baseball

Gets along well with Natsuki who collects him as another big brother for her collection

A couple of our servers have gotten a bit overwhelmed, so we're taking some down time to give them a chance to catch up. We'll be back as soon as possible!

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

Go on man, ask her out! She seems very nice!

this is so fucking weird without context lmao

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.
