Honestly I do NOT get the sheer amount of people acting like Carmen and Dante are best buddies or something.

At best she's insidiously ingratiated herself into something Dante would have been using on a regular basis, at first in subtle ways and later on (especially after being called out mid-story by Dawnclair, and the events with Dante hearing her while Heathcliff was distorting) more making her presence more explicitly felt.

As of Canto 9, there have been multiple times when Carmen has hijacked an uptie story in a worrying way that should freak out whoever's watching it.

Think of Xichun Ishmael. There's a moment during Index Don Quixote's.

I dread to think of what others might happen sooner or later, times when she literally says to Dante "you aren't supposed to know that yet" and causes them what sure looks like painful flashes of visions of Carmen herself.

Mostly, there's also the fact that where Carmen is literally the Voice of Distortion, encouraging people to distort - Dante is the direct opposite of that.

Dante is the "voice" (regardless of whether they can only hear them ticking or not, as per Herbert being inspired) that encourages EGO and keeps not only the Sinners but also anyone else going on their "correct" path that keeps them true to themself.

As a result, I can only imagine Dante being increasingly creeped out and unnerved by how they have Carmen telling them stories all of the time with every Identity that they uptie, like the devil constantly on their shoulder... a devil they don't seem to have told anyone about yet, either.

Imagine how unnerving it is knowing that the very force you're trying to fight against isn't just able to see everything from the Light, but is effectively actively keeping tabs on you and the Sinners you're trying to look after.

And, honestly? If Dante's original self does turn out to be Ayin? Then that just makes it creepier.

The guy does all of that for her, endures through millennia of time loops still believing in her, comes out the other end and must realise what kind of person she's turned into with it being too late to change course... and then when they lose their memory again she's right there to try and bring them back to her side, treating Dante like an old friend and ignoring Ayin's opposite views (AKA, the very concept of EGO itself).

Binah: Then I must ask, why is that the grand and righteous upholder [of justice] standing here making himself out as a prisoner like I? And what happened with that coward? The one who with fear averted his gaze from my dying one? Why is he down here, suffering the same punishment as I?

I went looking for something else, but had to grab at this, because it reminds me SO much of this one thing I keep saying about Dante.

Because isn't it funny, how in all official materials, there are "twelve Sinners" - the Sinners who fight, who die, who get brought back as the clock turns - and yet there is also a number on Dante's coat.

"Why [are you] standing here, making [yourself] out as a prisoner like I?"

It's incredibly relevant that in almost all other languages, the name of the Sinners as a group is actually "Prisoners," or "Inmates."

This, in fact, makes sense considering how they're treated during the Regular Check-Up - as people without rights, who live at the behest of the Company they work for.

Dante, the Manager, is a Sinner (read: Prisoner) just like the others they work alongside and manage.

Ayin, the Manager, is an Inmate of the Facility, having imprisoned himself alongside the Sephirot into the Facility.

Interestingly, the closest Ruina gets to this "running theme" is that Roland is both someone who is above the other Librarians, is Angela's direct subordinate, and yet is also following her commands just like they have to. Roland's case is more forced, however, as it doesn't match up perfectly the way Dante and Ayin do.

Just like how Angela's position as the Pale Librarian is foreshadowed in the White Ordeals, Dante's position as "Manager and Sinner" is foreshadowed by what Binah says to Ayin.

If it's revealed that Dante IS Ayin, this also adds extra depth and context as to WHY they're in this position. After all, no matter what Ayin was able to achieve, he would still have been aware that he had much to make up for.

EDIT:

Binah: It's an agonising sight to confront, but it doesn't matter to you, not at all. Or am I wrong? After all, erasing your memories and running away from them as if nothing had happened is your age-old specialty.

Dante: Dammit... Why... am I...! ...Why am I being attacked? Not good... Memories are dissolving already... The [***] was done too quick...

So, uh, here's ANOTHER thing that ties Binah's observations of Ayin (and she's been watching him the entire time, watching all through the loops) with Dante as a person.

Binah says that erasing his memories is one of Ayin's "specialties," while one of the very first things we see from Dante in their narration is that they knew that they'd lose their memories by attaching their clock head. It was knowingly done, on purpose, with the only issue being that not enough time was spent on it.

blood is romantic you guys are just cowards

[valtsv]

"enthusiastic consent" "dubcon" "noncon" ???con where we're both so neurotic and strange about vulnerability and emotional and physical expression that it'd take a crack team of philosophers to figure out whether anything about what we did together was consensual or even semiotically definable as sex

[subsequentibis]

not an apologizer but a contextualizer. yes the character did that but please understand the Circumstance. yes they had other options but they had to make this choice in a sea of available bad choices. and also it made the narrative more interesting. won't anybody think about the narrative!!!!!

[devilsskettle]

i just really enjoy characters who aren’t just “weird” but who genuinely experience the world differently than most people especially wrt how they experience their own emotions like i will always be a sucker for characters who don’t really know if they CAN experience “normal” emotions figuring out how they can relate to other people etc. and i basically never enjoy the “solution” to this being assimilation or like exceptionalism of a love interest character. i never want to see a character realize that they’re experiencing “normal” romantic feelings but the tension and possible conflict of “idk if i can even feel love like that but this might be the closest i can get” do you see the difference??? and i also love low empathy characters and never want to see a low empathy character get “positive character development” where they can suddenly feel empathy like “normal” i want them to be bad at it forever okay thank you

The one n only

[paper-mario-wiki]

many tgirls are having what can only be described as theoretical, conceptual sex.

[paper-mario-wiki]

these activities include but are not limited to:

becoming each others wards

shrinking girls they like down and putting them in jars on their shelf

turning each other into robots

engaging in powerscaling style fighting tournaments against each other (real, graphic violence)

running each others competing restaurants out of business

stalking and kidnapping each other consensually (weirdly, the one tied up is usually the one who planned it and is in control)

creating intense workplace rivalries with each other

tickle fighting with each other

engaging in groundbreaking academia without support from accredited institutions together

preserving each other in amber

facing horrors and bonding through trauma unhealthily to one another

genetic experiments

founding religions to each others beauty and vowing celibacy through it

fighting wars to right the wrongs against our cherished ones

looking up to the stars and only seeing other girls like us

looking into each other and seeing beautiful and terrible reflections of the self in the clear waters of the other

starting a podcast

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,

dreamt about a knight coming to you after a battle and getting on his knees in front of you and roaming his hands up your legs and smearing blood across your skin as he rests his cheek against your upper thigh. btw. additionally i would like to add taking his helmet off and hearing it rattle against the stone floor and running your hands through sweaty hair and praising him for protecting your kingdom. anyways.

CALLING ALL DANTE LOVERS.

Do I care how you interpret them? Do I care who you ship them with? Do I care what you plan on doing with or how you plan to play with your toys?

No, no, and absolutely not!

The important thing is that so far this is the first time I've seen a suggestion of anyone making a plushie for our Manager, and in quantity. And sure, yes, I would be over the moon to see someone from within the fandom make it or design it purely themself!

However, this interest check IS up, and I don't want to see it go to waste.

I've also made posts on Bluesky and Twitter, or you can promo it yourselves if you want!

[leonawriter]

We got Erenville to the design and presale/fund-to-sample stage, pls can we get Dante there too?

They only need 16 more deposits after all!

verg and faust probably had to hold don down and give her a fuck ton of vaccines once she was out of that lighthouse. she was in there for at least 200 something years if they don’t vaccinate her she’s going to bring back a strain of tuberculosis that hasn’t existed for a century
