#edward shadow

rereading shadows house rn and edward is so funny. he took one look at a thirteen year old and the thirteen year old's files and instantly decided that she was a rebel, his opp, and his and his homies' stepping stone to the third floor.

something i really enjoyed about chapter 224 is the contrast between edward, eileen and gerald going from villains who endanger children on the daily with no hesitation to relatively normal people helping save a village within like. a month outside the manor

specially with edward's line saying "coming to this village changed my way of thinking. villagers have families, and lives. they're alive"

it really drives home that the manor is a toxic environment, and the impacts it can have on someone. i bet it's easier to be act as they used to when humans are just "dolls", nobody dies, they get "disposed of", and everyone's already supposed to be so cutthroat anyways

on the same note, i also like how they managed to present this without making it into some black and white "the manor is the source of all evil and nobody would do the shit they do had they not grown up there" situation. anthony came from this exact same village and he was already up and killing pre selection, but one point doesn't negate the other

yaaay, artblock is getting a weaker grip on me. I try at least:D "Shadows house" inspired me somewhat, it's a good manga I'd surely reccomend.

Edward 👅

[stxrry-dxys]

thinking about how edward strives very hard to be different and better and smarter than christopher was, and yet when it comes to manipulating a child who has a romantic interest in you in order for them to do what you want, only to discard them as soon as you’re done, he and anthony sure did form the same plan.

he can try and escape christopher’s shadow all he wants, but edward is still very much following behind in anthony’s footsteps

I'm honestly wondering why Edward hasn't invited Kate yet, it would be the most surefire way of taking her out of the children’s wing and he could just kill her behind closed doors and say that it was a 'unification failure' like he did with Maryrose (what he told the 3rd floor)

~Day 14~

I love how randomizer decided to make this the actual Valentine piece. Guess it's canon after all, even RNJesus agrees
