I know his story never existed in canon but none of my AU Characters ever was so close to me as Ally is. I just can't let him go, he's a comfort character and doll I am just so happy to take him out and taking photos of him.

I love pastLavi dearly but he never will be the Bookman Junior I already had created.

Ally - Withdoll Ian, Face up, Wig & Waistcoat by me

They traded with hair bow and glasses. Mana is chaotic. Allen is annoyed. The perfect dynamic.

Who is Past!Allen

 [Rambles about Pasta]

If you’re reading this, it means that I’m dead that you basically know enough of DGM to know who Past!Allen (Pasta) is, but just in case: there is a man, whose name happened to be “Allen” that knew Neah 35 years ago and who volunteered as a host for him.

Information we have:

The first time we saw Pasta was, I think, in chapter 215 when Nea had a flashback about him. In that occasion, we got to know that Pasta didn’t have white hair and that he was older than the Allen we know. The same man was seen in chapter 221, talking about the helix of life.

The name “Allen” appears again in various chapters, even in the novel when Cross asks Red if he was “Allen”. Even the dog was named after an “Allen”, presumably the same Allen that Mana and Nea knew.

So, who is Allen?

1) A bookman, specifically the lost Jr. 

This is probably the most popular theory. Pasta shows to have a vast knowledge about technical stuff and he uses a refined vocabulary, which points toward an upper educated person.

2) Mana and Nea’s friend (and Cross’s, likely)

Mana and Nea knew Pasta. In chapter 225 Nea tells Mana that “after all, he found Allen”. Cross was looking for an Allen as well.

3) The current Allen, but deaged.

This theory is very popular, despite not having any real handhold in the narrative. The only hint was that Q&A in volume 26 where Wisely giggles when the others ask how could the 14th have implanted his memories in Allen if he’s only 15.

Even Cross (probably the only one who knows enough weird stuff about magic) states that it’s impossible for Red to be Allen because he’s too young. We don’t know anything about magic in dgm, except that the Earl is at least able to bring souls back from what seems to be the “Helix”. Many characters (namely the Earl, Cross, Road) don’t age, but Cross still thinks it is impossible for Allen to be a 5 years old kid. Nea doesn’t seem to have any idea about this either, when he wakes up.

So if Allen did deaged, there’s still no explanation about how and why it happened.

Anyway, the fact that Nea states that eventually Mana found “Allen” and that it was the same Allen that we know, then it’s self-explanatory that Red/Allen was the exact person they were looking for. 

Nea seems to somehow recognize Allen when he looks himself in the mirror in his body, except for the white hair. The only thing he says is that Pasta didn’t have innocence before and that he doesn’t have any immortality ability. Actually, Nea seems rather pissed off that Allen had innocence and refers to an “accident” that happened, but then states that these things happens in a long project.

How Allen deaged, got his Innocence and lost his memory is indeed a mystery. Nea wasn’t expecting Allen to forget about him.

Actually, it seems that no one has any idea about anything. Nea’s plan was different, Cross didn’t knew Allen deaged (and he made a mistake because he was looking for an Allen but Allen didn’t call himself Allen???), Mana didn’t recognize Allen in Red but Mana was already a crazy man with no memories when they met. Even Road was surprised that Allen had the same weapon as the Earl, so I’m not sure that she’s always been aware of who Allen is.

What could have happened in the meantime? 

4) The old man hiding at the order 

Someone wrote an interesting theory about this.

I love to think that Pasta = Allen, but this theory has so many points that I can’t help to think about it. If this is true, Allen and Pasta aren’t the same person.

This might explain how Pasta and Red look so different (Pasta has light colored, straight hair, while Red has medium to dark colored hair). Even their temperaments don’t match.

How could this happen? 

I want to hear your thoughts ˜

I’ve never painted pasta before and I felt bad. Anyway, what do you think of my first attempt?
