rotten to the core!!!!!!!

pasting in my descr. from insta~ oniisama e is awesome the characters are all so trapped by their institutions and expectations and memories and in the end no one really makes it out. it’s so of its time and forward thinking and the interpersonal relationships are generationally messy.

accidentally retread a lot of ground with this illustration (oops!!!!). references for comp/poses are the included illuminated manuscript and painting, which i was introduced to in person :) historically it hung at a girls’ finishing school for “moralizing purpose” whichhhh lollllll. too perfect a reference for anything tangential to class s!!!!

it's recently been plaguing my mind so might as well talk about it, but genuinely one of the terrifying moments in the original is basically Susumu's situation in where his normal kind parents have been possessed by demons and both abuse & neglect him until they finally do him in. What makes it so horrifying is that it very much happens in real life, where your non-demon possessed parents can suddenly become abusive towards you for the morst arbitrary of reasons or simply because they can as they're adults with rights that say they basically own you & that they can whatever they want with you

Mind you, Susumu is not dumb or ignorant of the situation, he KNOWS something is wrong and able to articulate why it is as such, but when he tells another adult that's supposed to protect him, they just don't believe him despite having the SCARS to prove it otherwise (we will get back to that in a bit)

Susumu also mentions there being a disturbing rise of mothers killing their own children and while some might assume its the work of demons (which brings a whole other chilling realization that despite it understandable that they are pissed that their home has been taken over, they're still very much fine with enacting the pain they experienced onto another group, one that is one of the most underprivileged groups among humans), its more so a reference to one of Nagai's short stories, Susumu's Big Shock, in where adults randomly begin to kill the children around them which rather than referencing the demons, it is instead foreshadowing the eventual dark side humans began falling into when fighting amongst each other & how innocents, particularly children, are caught intentionally in the conflict since their lives weren't even valued that much beforehand.

And when Susumu's "mom" finally shows, she basically gaslights the two kids into think Susumu just lied about the whole thing so he could have a sleepover, which like, even if it was somehow true, it would still tell us that the kid is depressingly lonely in his personal life, enough that he would lie just to be with others around him. His "mom" also notes that he's been doing this for a while now and so I wouldn't be surprised if she intentionally trying to isolate him from those who can actually help with his situation. And despite knowing she's just lying, Susumu just kinda has to grit his teeth and say that he does lie when he has nothing else to retort with because its own words against his mom, because it could soften the later abuse he's preparing for and the fact that she's an adult; so no one else will listen to him anyway. Tare also has to sit on the sidelines as there's not much he can do anyway at the moment as he's been taught by society to believe an adult no matter what. Susumu finally decides to come home when his mom tells him that his dad will finally be home and you can tell that he thinks this whole nightmare will finally be over once he's home, which unfortunately is not the case.

(using an old recording of when I did a live watch of the 2004 movie on twt during which I had my turtle's tank in the room so sorry abt the weird background noise) back when I was watching the movie my jaw legitimately dropped as I didn't expect for them actually include Susumu's side plot and the fact that its legitimately one of the few actual horror elements in the movie. Was surprised that they actually SHOWED his scars that were mentioned in the manga, though had misremembered them being on his arm as a sort of mirror to Miko's devilman transformation. You could say that this Susumu does get a good ending as Miko does save him from his demonified parents though considering the two live through Akira's and Ryo's final battle who knows just how time they have left considering the planet's a wreck.

Ok, but what if Akira turn in his normal form (not merged) when he return to be himself
