Ruby wakes up the next day to see Altum lying on the floor.

Oh!..

She rubbed her eyes, she was in a better mood today

She got up and dressed into her everyday clothes, then went to make some fried eggs

*uhh, surprise muffin attack!, as a muffin gently hits your forehead*

She blinked twice and looked at wherever the muffin came from.

To Ruby: Have you had any previous lovers/ flings? If yes, how many? If none, do you have a certain 'type'? Are you also the type of person who dates to marry, or date and see where this goes? Or just looking for a good time? 😅

(Or is this a bit spoilery? 👀)

Ruby: Uhm, oh, wow. Those are... very personal questions... *blushes*

Uhm, yes, I've had two serious relationships before, but... I work a lot, and that gets in the way, apparently. And it's not that I'm actively thinking about marriage or anything, but I don't really do flings. So, when I start a relationship, I'm serious about it. Does that answer your question? 🙈❤️

regarding "giving" osomatsu depression, and this is just my two cents i'm throwing in here (hopefully in a constructive way/gen), i actually just genuinely think he is truly depressed. Definitely not in the major clinical or bipolar way that gets romanticized a lot, but in a very realistic "he tries to pretend it's not there, but if he stops being distracted he realizes that his life is empty and hollow, so he shuts his eyes and ears and keeps running endlessly on the hamster wheel he can't/won't get off of". Like, he needs good therapy, and definitely needs more help with his abandoment issues, but probably not medication. He's depressed in like a "if i woke up dead would it matter?" way, not an "i want to wake up dead" way. idk, do i make sense? Like, he's not *unhappy* he's just,,, not,, *happy*

Thank you so much for this ask! It makes me really happy! You are a 100% valid and I can see this being true (especially with how he's been behaving in Season 4). I also understand what you mean!

When I said "giving" Osomatsu depression, I meant that he's never been canonly stated to have depression. Canon-wise the only one strongly hinted to have depression would be Ichimatsu, and that's because that's his whole gimmick. He's the depressed loner one (though he's getting better).

Since Osomatsu-san is a gag anime, they're not really going to outright state, "this character has depression" in a serious way without setting it up to be a joke later. Like, they're not going to come out and say, "Todomatsu went to therapy and found out he has depression" and that be part of his character for the rest of the series.

The thing about Osomatsu-san (and this is what I adore) is that us fans look between the gags, and we find these serious moments that hint to more of their character than what's stated, and we attach them to said character. Things the writers might not have even intended to stick to said character.

Let's take Osomatsu's abandonment issues for example. Why do we think he has this? The biggest reason is the "Letters" episode. We saw how pissy and un-Osomatsu became after Choromatsu left, and the others leaving didn't help matters. That let us see that Osomatsu doesn't want his brothers to leave him. Even just one leaving him upsets him, so we attached the abandonment issues to him.

Here's the thing though: The writers NEVER intended that. The whole thing about "Letters" being their oddly sad/serious episode was just so they could set up the punchline of the next episode. That's why in the next episode, none of "Letters" even mattered. It was just to trick the fans into thinking something serious was happening, and then getting to laugh when everything went back to the statues quo the next episode (especially in the manner they did it, where Osomatsu just goes and gathers his brothers while they're all, uh, "busy.") That's not the first time they've done this either: The whole point of the ESP kitty episode was just for the punchline where Karamatsu shows up, bandaged and hurt from the kidnapping, and cries about how unfair his brothers treat him.

But, we fans pick up these breadcrumbs and make more complex characters out of them. We take these serious moments and stick them to the characters, even if the show has moved on and forgotten about it.

So, we can see in between the lines and see that maybe Osomatsu isn't as happy as he actually pretends to be, but canon wise he's not going to be given a depression disorder (at least not without a punchline), but that doesn't make us seeing him as depressed any less valid.

Hopefully this didn't come off as bitchy! I just wanted to explain what I meant. I really do appreciate the ask and hope to get more in the future! ^^

What do you mean borderline peadophilia?

Old ppl liking minors. So if a 30 year old or maybe more old person liking someone barely 18-20 year old. That's borderline pedophilia. Like technically and according to laws its not pedophilia but like morally it is. So yeah.
