I might be over analyzing this but in the scene where Mizi is hanging off the cliff and Sua grabs her, I think an interesting detail is the red that’s in the center of Sua’s eyes.
I think this is important for two main reasons, the first being that in this moment Mizi could’ve seen Sua as Ivan in a way. We see Mizi being vulnerable with Ivan in the comics, and in this moment, where Mizi’s life hinges on Sua, Sua sees her completely, vulnerable spots and all, and straight through the exterior she forces herself to have that she’s happy and oblivious. In this moment, Mizi sees Sua as a friend, someone she can trust, and not someone she has to hurt herself to protect.
(You can’t tell me their eyes don’t look similar here??)
Secondly, we also see the flowers having small red dots which indicate the aliens watching and monitoring, and I think the red dots in Sua’s eyes represent the aliens watching their relationship as well. I wouldn’t put it past them to monitor who was close with who, and then pit them against each other for an interesting first round to get as many people interested as possible for the next coming rounds.
(The flowers DO have red dots in them even if it isn’t the most obvious)
Idk man Vivinos is paying my therapy bill
EDIT: Another thing I just noticed is that it could also be the sun reflecting in Sua’s eyes, symbolizing how Sua is the path to freedom, but it won’t be the path that Mizi expects and it’ll burn her if she flies too close. Mizi flew too close to Sua and that might’ve been what caused the aliens to pit them against each other in the first round. Sua’s death was also the catalyst that led to Mizi getting as many as she could (and especially Till) freedom.
I just think it's really beautiful how, for such a bleak setting, ultimately Till is alive only thanks to the intervention of those who loved him. Ivan sacrificed himself to keep him alive in their round, Mizi saved him last second despite wanting to blow up the stage.
His new short haircut also seems to be a throwback to his mother who's the main reason he even got to experience love and affection under such awful circumstances in the first place 🥹
Basically, he's part of a cycle of love and affection throughout the story and he perpetuates it by saving those kids the aliens created using his and his friends' genes.
I just really appreciate how despite all the tragedy and ugliness of the world they live in, and the failure to completely disrupt the status quo, there is still this underlying hopeful feeling that survives thanks to his own survival.
Do you ever think about how Hyuna and Till, despite never really knowing each other, have essentially lived the same life?
They have few canon interactions, sure, and those are only present in side content.
We know they weren’t close. And yet…
They both had boys who loved them childishly. Immaturely.
Those boys hurt them badly, even if they didn’t mean to.
They loved boldly and beautifully, without restraint, and fought to be themselves in the face of an oppressive industry that sought to use their rebellion for entertainment. They used their genuine and brilliant love for music to rebel rather than be complacent.
They were grievously injured before gaining their freedom—disabled, based on Hyuna’s prosthetic leg and Till’s theorized loss of his voice.
And then they were both taken in by Isaac. Mentored, accepted as a friend (as I assume Isaac accepted Till).
They’re rebels. Freedom fighters.
They both went back for the kids. They both found their happiness and independence.
Only, Till has the chance to do what Hyuna wasn’t able to. He has the chance to finish what she started.
She tried to go back for the kids with one leg. She couldn’t do it. But Till gets to save the kids.
Hyuna could never truly grieve the past and continue on with her life. Now, Till gets that chance. When Hyuna sees or thinks of Luka, she spirals. When Till sees the Ivanmizi child, he doesn’t freak out—he smiles.
Hyuna willingly gave up her place when she took the bullet for Luka, and in her place, Till continues her work.
I ssaw that ur requests are open fr a bit and that u opened zzz requests so imma shoot my shot (hehe)
Harumasa, Seth and maybe Hugo (I don't know much about him but I'm biased cuz he's voiced by Jun fukuyama so sue me XD) or wise (tho I'm not sure about wise since he doesn't have fangs) giving playful love bites whenever they're happy.
Them with their s/o having a good time just staying indoors either playing video games, cuddling, or doing anything fun (maybe an arcade date where they play games together like the mini games in zzz, or an at home candle lit dinner idk XP) and when they feel extremely happy nuzzling up to them, they just give a bite~
And if they hurt, they will do that thing that cats do, where they lick or kiss the area they hurt... Only to chomp elsewhere X3c

Harumasa wasn’t the type to go out of his way for extravagant dates. He preferred efficiency, and to him, the best kind of date was one that required minimal effort but maximum enjoyment. So when you suggested a cozy day indoors, playing games and just lounging around, he had no objections.
You sat on the couch, controller in hand, as the two of you played through one of the many arcade-style games from Random Play. Harumasa, half-laying across your lap with his own controller lazily balanced on his stomach, let out a small yawn. "If I win this round, you have to go make coffee for me," he murmured, eyes half-lidded yet still calculating his next move.
"Oh, is that so?" You smirked. "And if I win?"
"You get bragging rights."
"That’s a terrible deal."
Before you could argue further, he launched a sneak attack in the game, completely wiping your character out. Harumasa gave a satisfied hum, stretching lazily as he turned to look at you with a smug grin. "Looks like you’re making coffee—"
Chomp.
You yelped when you felt sharp teeth gently press against your shoulder. He didn’t bite too hard, just enough to make you flinch, and before you could react, he lazily licked the same spot in a mock attempt to soothe it.
"You—!"
But just as you were about to scold him, he struck again—this time on your wrist, grinning against your skin. "Mmm. You taste like victory."
"You menace."
"Hm? I’m just expressing my joy in the most efficient way." His voice was laced with amusement, and he gave one last, playful nibble before settling back into your lap like nothing happened. "Now, about that coffee…"
Going to the arcade with Seth was always a fun experience—he was passionate, competitive, and absolutely terrible at keeping a low profile. He wasn’t the best at stealth games, but give him a fighting or racing game, and he would pour his entire soul into it.
"Alright, final round!" Seth declared, gripping the arcade controls with unshakable determination. "If I win, I get the last slice of pizza when we get home!"
"Deal," you agreed, smirking.
The match was intense, pixelated characters clashing in a battle of reflexes and skill. You held your own, but Seth had sheer enthusiasm on his side, and in a dramatic final move, he won.
"YES!" He practically jumped in place, tail flicking behind him in excitement. "Did you see that?! I actually pulled it off!"
You chuckled, watching him vibrate with happiness—then yelped as he suddenly leaned in and gave a quick, playful chomp to your shoulder.
"Seth!"
He blinked at you, ears twitching, before quickly pressing a kiss to the same spot. "Sorry! I didn’t mean to bite that hard!"
"...So you admit that was on purpose?"
"Uhhh," he hesitated, then suddenly chomp—this time on your wrist.
"Seth!"
He laughed, pulling back slightly but keeping his hands on yours. "I dunno, I just got so happy! You don’t get mad when cats do it!"
"Yeah, but you’re not a cat, Seth."
"Debatable," he grinned.
You sighed, rubbing your wrist with mock exasperation before ruffling his hair. He purred—actually purred—and leaned into your touch. "Fine, you win. Enjoy your last slice of pizza."
"Hell yeah!"
(But the moment he looked away, you took a sneaky bite of his pizza anyway. He totally deserved it.)
Spending a quiet evening with Hugo was always a refined yet subtly mischievous experience. He had a way of making even the simplest moments feel elegant, yet you knew better than to let your guard down entirely.
Tonight, he had surprised you with a beautifully set dinner—candlelight flickering against fine wine glasses, soft classical music playing in the background. It was almost too perfect, and you gave him a knowing look. "Are you trying to impress me?"
"Would it be so wrong if I was?" Hugo smirked, sipping his wine with effortless grace. "Besides, I rather enjoy treating you to things like this."
Dinner went smoothly, filled with pleasant conversation and the occasional flirtation. But it was when you made an offhand comment about how charming he looked under candlelight that he tilted his head with a playful gleam in his sharp eyes.
"Oh? Flattery, my dear?"
"It’s not flattery if it’s true," you teased.
He chuckled, leaning closer across the table. "Then allow me to show my appreciation."
Before you could react, he gently took your wrist, bringing it to his lips. And then—
Chomp.
It wasn’t painful, just a teasing press of his fangs against your skin, but the suddenness of it made you yelp. "Hugo!"
He chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to the spot he bit, only to immediately sink his teeth into another spot higher up your arm.
You shot him a glare. "You’re doing that on purpose."
"Of course I am," he admitted shamelessly, smirking. "It’s rather endearing how you react."
"You’re lucky you’re charming."
"That is the general consensus," he mused. "Now, would you like dessert? I promise not to bite."
"Liar."
He simply chuckled, reaching for your hand once more.

I THANK YOU GLORIOUSLY FOR GENEROUSITY FOR IT HAS SUCCEDED AND I NOW POSSES BOTH ZANI AND HER SUPREME WEAPON GAUNTLET BEARING THE BLESSING OF CRIT. DAMAGE🗣🔥🎉
He does crazy damage because I am crazy—he’s not a main dps like I have him built and his gear requirements are actually quite high if you’re aiming to do dmg like mine. But, he is a good subdps / support for a lot of content. He’s a hybrid of roles.
Can't go to bed without typing this out but... Imagine just how soft Phainon would be, once he realizes that he does not need to be the great hero around you. Imagine how his heart would melt into a puddle and soul turn to goo every time you wrap your arms around him, press his head onto your chest and just... Let him be. Let him rest, let him breathe.
Such bliss. Truly, there's nothing quite like it.
Each time he casts a glance in your direction, it feels as though ambrosia starts coursing through his veins, beckoning him to indulge in as much of your sweetness as he possibly can.
I just. I just really love Phainon. He's my good boy and I want to hold him.
