The Promised Neverland Text Posts {Lambda Gang} (Chapter 132)

[27-4-2020]

This panel.

I really like this panel. I love that emma said it outloud how norman is actually afraid.

Remember when the lambda gang were hanging in the basement lab thing? And barbara got that headache? They were all looking at norman, asking him if he changed his mind, and hoping him not to.

They view norman so high thegeniuscoldemperor that they seem to forget that he's just a 13 year old boy, and maybe their boss is not so tough and brave after all.

I'm glad emma said it in front of them, and looking from their expressions, I think they're starting to realize and see that emma might be right (and all this time norman was just trying to look strong).

I hope they could get along because i really like the lambda gang too, (i just couldn't sit still with the pressure they seem to bring from expecting norman with almost everything without realizing they did so) but since they've seen the truth now, i hope everything goes well (ㆁωㆁ)

Do you think after learning the truth about the farms the cattle children would develop an aversion to pre-prepared meat of any kind (the source of which they haven't seen with their eyes)? And if given the choice avoid it entirely?

[Related poll]

I appreciate the distinction you're making with pre-prepared meat as opposed to meat in general since this is established in chapter 49/S2 episode 2:

And we see the kids hunting/fishing at different points in the series.

(Chapter 59 | Chapter 96 | Chapter 114 Flashback)

Based on what we're shown of the human world in chapter 179 to contrast with the fears the children held about integrating into it in chapter 97, it seems like there would be a fairly robust regulatory body overseeing meat production now that profit isn't the driving force behind the companies involved with it ("Only caring about yourself at the expense of others would no longer work. In order to survive, humanity as a whole needed to be saved.") So for simplicity's sake, all the pre-prepared meat they encounter is likely safely and ethically produced from start to finish, and it comes down to the individual's preference as opposed to a general aversion collectively shared by them.

As noted in the linked poll, I don't have any strong opinions or headcanons for character preferences on this matter, other than believing Ayshe would still eat meat without any reservations, though she'd probably hunt/fish for a decent portion of the meat she consumed.

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 5 Bonus Comic)

But it could be different for cattle children who were only made aware they were part of the farm system after arriving in the human world.

Do you think the cattle children eat meat in the human world?

Yes

No

I think more of them would eat meat than would not, but not all of them.

I think less of them would eat meat than would, but not all of them.

What do you think the surnames of the cattle children are in the human world (besides Emma)?

All the kids raised in the same plant are assigned the same surname

All the kids raised in the same plant choose to share the same surname

All the kids are assigned different surnames

All the kids choose different surnames

The Grace Field kids at each plant share the same surname…*

Certain groups of kids adopt the same surname…**

Some kids opt to have the same surname that their birth mothers adopt

The main cast of kids eventually choose to adopt Mikhaylov as their surname

Some mix of the above

*The Grace Field kids at each plant share the same surname, the other farms don't **Certain groups of kids adopt the same surname, but it's not based on their farm of origin

My thoughts on this from another post:

Grace or Gracefield feels like it would have too much baggage [for a surname] (unless whatever agency is doing this goes over their heads and does it anyway; the mixed bag of bitterness that could crop up from these people still seeing them as bound to that place when they altered fate to flee it), but I could get behind the kids in each Grace Field plant sharing a surname, Grand Valley kids sharing a surname, and then so on with Glory Bell, Goodwill Ridge, and Lambda. From purely an aesthetic perspective, it's cute thinking of the older kids initially trying to pick out ones for themselves, and then the younger siblings latching onto ones they're picking so they can remain close before they all eventually decide to come to a group decision. A legal one would probably take precedence though. At the very least, I feel the older Grace Field kids would want to ensure they had a say in the future of the younger ones, and this would be an additional layer of claim to that which is conveniently citable. The mass production farms are where it becomes more complicated with each one's size, but for convenience they might opt for this as well. Plus if any child wants to change their name in the future, that's always an option too.

Copypasta'd propaganda from my other posts under the cut:

Grace Field Poll: I was glad to see how well Don & Emma and Gilda & Ray were doing on the Grace Field poll. ;w; Both feel the most criminal to me given how big of a role Don and Gilda play in the series, but ultimately I went with Gilda & Ray because I couldn't think of any moment for them that was equivalent to Don being the first of the larger group of kids to voice his support for Emma's plan:

(Chapter 130)

Except for maybe this brief exchange they added to the anime:

(S1 Episode 12)

Episode 10 also nixes the scene of Don and Gilda privately conversing in the woods in chapter 31 and instead has Ray apologizing to Don and Gilda directly rather than just Emma, which is made even more poignant when you consider how strongly he reacted to Emma and Norman giving them false hope about still being able to save Conny in chapter 11/episode 4.

He's not even trying to feign the distance he self-imposed between them in his mind at this point. He's genuinely sorry for failing them for their own sakes, not as extra able bodies who could assist Emma and Norman outside the wall. And it's a genuinely distressing sight for the two of them, seeing him at his lowest point after everything he sacrificed for this plan.

To have her then knowingly hum and hold that look of fondness for him when she sees how shocked is, after years of believing a better outcome was impossible, and how worried he is, because try as he might to keep the other children at arm's length mentally there's a way Ray frets over and looks after them that is reminiscent of Gilda's own (they are united in being the Mom Friends™ of the escapees 🤝), is such a sweet, gentle kindness that they didn't have to include but I'm very glad they did.

Goldy Pond Poll: Emma & Oliver has always felt like one of the most pertinent dynamics to come out of Goldy Pond alongside Emma & Violet with the amount of focus each are given individually as effectively the leaders of the Grace Field escapees and Goldy Pond kids, respectively, and together. The latter is significantly less, unfortunately, but Oliver usually acts as Emma's point person when she needs to confer information/plans and Norman and Ray won't work for the situation because symbolically the scene calls for a representation of larger group cohesion with the kids she didn't grow up with.

Also, after losing so many older siblings at Grace Field and becoming the big sister/leader of them, it's nice to have her regain that kind of relationship with any of the Goldy Pond group; Oliver just happens to have more panels dedicated to it lol

(Chapter 69)

(Chapter 110 & 111)

(Chapter 122; this moment is so minuscule, but again we have Oliver acting in a leader role and Emma using him as a point of reference to confirm that taking it easy in this new place is wise and safe for everyone. If even Oliver thinks it's okay to act like this—to say nothing of the way he tells her so gently and in so few words—then she can rest a little more soundly.)

(Chapter 161)

(Chapter 179; he's not the only one given focus here, but I like that he's the one this bit ends on to drive the point home to Norman and Ray about Emma.)

And then this piece by @nagaikei-ajin is my favorite of the two of them for the intensity and parallels.

i want to believe emma and oliver are carrying on yugo and lucas’ will and even got a pair of gloves for remembrance... 

Free-For-All Poll: I'm glad other people are also fucked up by this panel of Ayshe & Mujika:

(Chapter 144)

The way she's staring at Mujika in rapt attention, left hand grabbing for hers while she holds her right in front of her chest to show how animated she is in the conversation, either because she's gesturing to herself or is at a loss for words in the the excitement of the moment or because the adrenaline from the skirmish with Hayato and Jin is wearing off and trying to will the words to spill forth.

It's been months since she's been able to hold a conversation with anyone in the language her father passed down to her because he believed it was something worth preserving of his culture from a millennia ago, so to be able to have that back with someone as kind and graciously loving as Mujika is something special.
