What is any holiday like in the death academy and how does it not turn into blackstar making it about himself

#blackstar #how is this school operating. I’m realizing now we never see him in class ever #him fighting or getting his ass caught cheating does Not count #is that on purpose. like do they Know he does nothing but sleep and yell out his name for attention #I know it’s a meister weapon school it’s not an actual school blah blahblah #but theyr still teens. who would still want to participate in holidays #and i know a guy who really likes celebrating

what would valentine’s day even be like in the death academy. everyone there is a bunch of losers

#soul eater #this is about the main group specifically #the boys (soul) is very aware of this fact #everyone else somehow gets into trouble I know it #blackstar shenanigans probably

@/ink-asunder THANK U FOR REMINDING ME here’s the English translation i found !!!

Why didn’t anyone tell me about the soul eater cd drama.

Was I just supposed to find out myself death the kid, liz, and patty take naps together…?

#im gonna rant about it later ITS SO FUNNY #happy stimming. my dearests #the whole ep is just them being chaotic sisters THEY MADE IT FOR ME!#me tag

why is this the best official art ever

#soul eater #im sure its referencing the eps of them training as a team. does not explain why blackstar is just up there #like ofc blackstar would be sitting all the way to the top. and ofc it’s with kid boosting him up #but why. but also I Get It but also WHY #dtk hands on hips like he isnt being held up by five other people hes so funny to me #is liz also scared of heights..? poor girl ofc she teamed up with a death god ghost collector with a flying skateboard #SEE THIS SO FUN TO LOOK AT #im. PRETTY SURE this is official might die of embarrassment if it isnt #pls alert me if it isnt erm

If im understanding this correctly. Kid also values Blackstar for his attitude of surpassing the gods because he provides him balance. Nobody has ever tried competing with Kid but now he has someone that not only makes his existence balanced, but is also a friend

theyr really sweet together because Kid has always been Blackstar’s biggest supporter in becoming a god. And now Blackstar dives headfirst into madness and saves Kid from remembering how important having order in his life is. How meaningful his sisters and Blackstar are to his existence.

this panel went crazy too. I’m not sure how exactly he means “your existence is too large” but its oddly sweet. Because Kid still sees Blackstar’s tremendous power, but now as a threat to his own lost worth from nothingness. He also says this right after the flashback of Kid always believing in Blackstar since one of the first moments they met. They are sooo.. i like to think there’s a hint of “your existence is too large for me to become nothingness” because of how complete the two make each other. Blackstar came to save Kid and also thank him for letting him reach his full potential and now he gets to help Kid develop his own identity of godhood. They both save each other and share so much appreciation, especially after Blackstar pledging himself to Kid that was crazy

ok but is it known if Asura had the Lines of Sanzu? Did any other Grim Reaper have them? Or was it something Lord Death only thought of when creating Kid this is dire information

#soul eater #death the kid #i tried reading the wiki and everything but there’s no mention of the lines but with Kid.#is it left for interpretation? or did I miss something #present me here to say i still have no idea

Are the Shinigamis meant to never be perfect? Is having humanity what screws them all over (Lord Death with Humor, Kid with Perfection, Asura with Fear)?

#soul eater #shinigami family #this is a draft. I have no idea what i was cooking #fire force probably addresses this but i don’t hate myself enough to read it #so i will live in ignorance

need to know if Kid even knew his dad wasn’t symmetrical like why is he an exception. How would he react to someone pointing out Lord Death’s asymmetry? Would she laugh at the absurdity of it? Would he be confused he didn’t notice such flaws? Or would he stare blankly, not even bothering to process nor acknowledge the comment because her dad was the one who taught her balance and order in the first place; when everyone sees Lord Death as Death City’s protector, Kid sees his own core beliefs of Order arise from deep in the soul he was granted as a fragment.

But I don’t think it’s some sort of brainwashing “oooo you are fragment of my being which means you have to be nice to meee” because Asura literally exists. But we also see how much Kid questions her father’s decision, but always respects him. And with the fact nobody else but Lord Death understands godhood, even if his dad is annoying, Kid still loves him. Maybe that’s all it is: love for the person who shaped you but let’s you take control of your own life…

Still, it’s depressing to wonder if Kid is truly at peace when he’s with his dad, or if she’s suppressing her symmetry compulsions to look like a “perfect” successor around Lord Death (Kid doesn’t even know about Asura, but still worries that he will never take Death’s place because of his OCD)

To add to the great points you made, Kid also dresses up as his father—just because he wants to! (Also because he doesn’t have to think about his hair that way, but mostly because he wants to.)

I don’t have OCD and am no expert, but from my understanding it doesn’t necessarily work “logically”—or rather, it follows its own logic and doesn’t make sense all the time, even to the person who has it.

Now, having just said that (lol)…

In canon, Kid doesn’t respond that often to other people’s asymmetrical appearance, especially not familiar people (cf. Tsubaki’s outfit, Black*Star’s tattoo, Crona’s hair, Maka’s pigtails which could get out of whack at any time, Marie’s single eye). Like, he fixed Tsugumi’s pigtails in Soul Eater NOT! but he didn’t know her at all and was trying to be helpful. ETA: And he'd just had a fight with Liz and Patty because he was annoying checking up on them at work--which may have primed him to get triggered.

Liz and Patty are the exceptions, but only because their appearance reflects on him, since they’re his weapons. And even then, that falls away fairly early on.

Kid’s character arc involves learning how to interact with humans and see them as friends and partners, rather than subjects to impose order on. (His father, IMO, never quite gets there so Kid’s love of humans and witches surpasses Lord Death’s by the end). In the beginning Kid is more aloof and controlling, but he’s always strongly interested in humans and learns quickly that they’re more interesting/fun if you don’t try to control them.

I’d even argue that he accidentally does Exposure and Response Prevention on himself just by being around humans all the time, as we are a notoriously chaotic species.

#ABSOLUTELY #oh this is so brilliant thank you #putting this post in a heart locket to cherish it #i have ocd but my own rules kinda skewer how i interpret his actions? if that makes sense #that he cares about patty and liz’s appearance because they reflect on him line. never thought of it like that #so true tho since. that’s why he wanted to make his own weapons in the first place #im glad that joke goes away as the story progresses tho. but he still shows his need for balance through the team poses #death the kid

#soul eater #shinigami family #death the kid #on my how does a child of a god feel about their parent bullshit rn

#soul eater #soul eater spoilers #death the kid #crying one moment and having a diabolical grin the next #love this arc.. not so much the kidnapping #this shit is five nights at fredbears level fucked

One of my favorite parts about Soul Eater is the developing trust of meister’s letting their weapons be in human-form while fighting. For instance:

Tsubaki mirroring Blackstar and contributing even more of herself to the fight against Mifune.

Or with Soul manually harnessing his Death Scythe abilities to defend Maka when she’s incapable of fighting.

But I think my favorite detail is how Kid, Patty, and Liz have already had this trust since the beginning. It caught my when Kid ordered Patty himself while chasing the Demon Train for her to wield Liz. Of course, its established with Kid’s introduction that he and his sisters are already ahead of all the DWMA students because he’s a Grim Reaper, but that overlooks the personal connection that they have.

Kid has great trust for the Thompson’s and values their past in Brooklyn as important pieces to who they are, and he accepts it all.

He understands the importance of family connections because his relationship with his father is the only one he has. So seeing these two sisters who freely wield each other, why would he ever want to take that away? The whole reason he’s making his own weapons is because he needs to be perfect for his dad; human relationships like Liz and Patty are perfect in their own imperfections, which is what drives Kid to find them. That perfection in a world that he will rule is so important to him. So it’s really sweet how he made a spot for himself with Liz and Patty while also still letting them shine together like old times,

which is all reaffirmed by Liz herself during her flashback. She talks about her love for Patty and never wanting to leave each others side, but somehow, Kid made his own place in their hearts. Even with trying to take advantage of him, he still paved a way. They were all finally at peace together. So much that the sister’s wielding each other is a part of their routine.

I also think this interaction is crucial to understanding the soul resonance between these three. Patty’s immediate reaction to Kid losing his arm was to help him in her human form. Not even being worried about an enemy, all she needed was to be by Kid’s side.

What matters is that she can still wield Liz herself for a brief moment to make sure Kid is okay
