56leon's activites

It's insane how raw this series is, completely unflinching in its portrayal of catholic guilt. Even something as 'titillating' as a self-care scene can be ripped apart like that at the end. I think this is only the third or fourth series that has made me so viscerally aware of a character's silent trauma that I felt ill myself.

This is how it's building up, but I really hope that, at the end of this series, Priest and Imuri meet each other in the middle. Both of them are touted as pinnacles of their kind (Priest an exorcist and Imuri a demon), but at the end of the day they're both people who deserve to experience both the positives (Imuri) and negatives (Priest) of life.

Honestly, Shirley is the strongest written female lead I've seen in a long time, especially because she actively works beyond the 'sassy OP bullied girl' stereotype. Most people only perceive strength as not letting yourself get beaten down, or fighting against things just because they don't benefit you personally. While that may be one facet of strength, that's still only ONE definition, and a shallow one at that because it's usually a particularly selfish type of revenge porn strength.

Shirley, on the other hand, is strong BECAUSE she's lost so much, but it's because she gives those up knowing how that impacts others around her. She's not weak because she let herself get killed. She's strong because she leaned into that theatrical death, giving Caid a firm hold on the people. Likewise, she's not weak because she's letting the princess get away with things, she's strong because she's willingly giving up her own freedom and her love to make sure that Caid doesn't get himself hurt for her sake (which he undoubtedly will anyways, but regardless).

Okay, so I'm 95% certain that Adele is the Demon King but possibly only half-Seuo. The other 5% is that she's just a normal human with insanely strong holy powers? But too many things hint to her being abnormal for that to make any tonal sense.

There are a lot of references to a "true" god, who is probably the one who rewinded Adele due to a 'mistake' made in the previous life. They're also most likely the one who gave Ray his original prophetic dream of Adele being the Prophet despite her very obviously NOT being the Prophet, which leads me to believe that perhaps the true god is trying to put Adele and Ray together on purpose to mend the relationship between the Dehvas and the Seuos (as their respective leaders); while Ray did fall for Adele in the original timeline, he wasn't close enough to her to set aside her being the Demon King once he found out, and ended things with possibly a lovers suicide, with him killing her and then the rest of the Seuos before killing himself (purely theorizing here, but without any Dehvas to lead and Adele dead, he may not see a reason to continue living even in the original timeline).

In this current timeline, however, things are progressing more towards that love alliance, especially as the walls between Dehva and Seuo are broken down (i.e. acknowledging that even Dehvas can be homicidal maniacs, and Lyte and Riley already being another potential cross-cultural love). The only thing remaining is making sure that all parties make the correct decisions moving forward- here I assume that Duve's original owner is most likely the true god trying to intervene without being too brazen about it. Especially with the way Duve eggs Ray on to be almost blindingly trusting to Adele, it seems like Duve is almost training him for when Adele is revealed to be the Demon King.
