Monke .

MC from TDBK getting transported to TWST and getting social whiplash.

She has that Google loading logo hovering over her head like "why are these people actually normal what is going on"

She meets Ace and Deuce like "oh, the dynamic duo. Must be like Kaito and Luca."

Two minutes later: "NOT KAITO AND LUCA, WHY ARE THEY TROUBLEMAKERS???"

She meets Cater and is on guard immediately bc of the internet slang, shying away from talking to him bc he reminds her of Leo at first. Soon after she realizes "wait no, that guy is more like Rui. If he wasn't a flirt." And she's fine with him again. She can't really place Trey for a while. At first she thinks maybe Tohma??? Just British and casual. Eventually she lands on "this guy might be like a non-flirty Haku."

Riddle is like, a family-friendly Romeo? Maybe? No, Ritsu? Ritsu with Romeo's attitude. Maybe? She's not completely sure.

Ruggie immediately reminds her of Lyca, purely bc of the ears, before she learns about beastmen and realizes that Ruggie is absolutely nothing like Lyca. He's sorta like Ren? Job-wise? She guesses. Maybe this one actually is just his own person.

Jack is Alan. No question about it. She's 100% sure. Come on, 'scary' gentle giant who's almost entirely deadpan? Just Alan without the occasional bloodlust. Or criminal record.

I think we all know who Leona is. She clocks him as Jin as soon as learns he's rich. She already knew he was lazy. He's just a bitchier Jin, without his few redeeming qualities.

Octavinelle is where she realizes how much different the ghouls are to these guys. She thought Floyd was like Towa for a moment, before meeting the unlucky realization that he's so much more like Taiga. Jade is almost uncomfortably reminiscent of Thoma, and Azul is just a money-hungry Yuri who's all bark no bite. Yuri with a hint of Ritsu, maybe.

Which is exactly when she realizes that the main difference between these guys and the ghouls is how much nicer, flirtier, and more tolerable the ghouls are. Then again, she was warned almost as soon as she arrived that these students were gonna be problematic.

Then again again, the same thing was said about the ghouls.

Jamil is suspicious to her right off the bat. He runs around doing chores and wtv for an unreasonably unconcerned Dormhead, so maybe Rui? He doesn't seem like Rui. And he was too nice compared to everyone else she'd met at NRC so far.

It takes until the whole thing is over for her to place him as a bitchier, less diplomatic Tohma. Partly. He's like 20% that. The rest is ??? As is most NRC students personalities. Kalim is just Haru without all the stress.

Vil is Romeo. No question. Vil is just a more feminine Romeo, which is fucking beautiful to see. Rook is like, a stalker-y Zenji? He's Zenji but creepy. Epel is just Epel. The way he's forced to conform and not be a delinquent for once kinda feels like if Lyca had a shockingly different upbringing.

Idia is... Half Leo, half Ren? Gamer, internet enthusiast, more Ren than Leo. She's not quite sure how to interact with him. Ortho is like a successful Lyca, mixed with Haru's enthusiasm and Rui's adamancy that his other dorm member learn how to interact with people amicably.

Lillia is Ed. (Old and anachronistic.) Malleus is Ed. (Old and anachronistic.) Silver is Ed. (Sleepy.) Sebek is. Towa plus Romeo (obsessed with someone plus bitchy and demanding)

Other than Ed, Malleus is maybe Alan (no tech) and Haku? (Helpful gentleman) And Silver is maybe the closest person there to Luca.

Besides that, though, the most shockingly thing to MC is how much fucking downtime she gets. The closest thing to the constant cases she goes through is the Overblots, and those only happen like once a month. Ergo, she's usually kinda restless.

Uh, anyway I wrote this all during class and I have just been called out so that's all for now. 👋 Bai

So, do the Stigmas in Tokyo Debunker have side effects? I'm not sure if it was ever mentioned, but like.

Alan gets strength at the cost of bloodlust, it seems.

Towa can't talk during the day, not sure what his Stigma is.

Taiga gets... Fuck if I know. Numbness? In return for insatiable hunger.

Subaru gets psychometry, but he can't turn it off.

I feel like this is an important part of Stigmas. Do they ever explain this in game? Am I going crazy?

I watched Pacific Rim about 2 days ago. Just woke up. From a dream. About Pacific Rim.

I didn't even know I liked the movie that much?

I also dreamt about mice but that's a different thing.

oh shit, it's 3/21/23, 32123, palindrome day

Tdbk EP 10 spool

Rui is way too considerate I'm actually gonna have a heart attack

I TOLD YOU IT WAS SOME SACRIFICIAL SHIT.

Rui is so gonna be the death of me. And Lyca immediately offering to switch aww. Ed's fuckin weird tho ngl I STILL can't get much of a read on him. Well I can but like his personality is overall just fucking insane I don't know what to think of him

EP 11 spoilers part 7 Tokyo Debunker

Leo: so Subaru is looking after Bonnie, hm?

Subaru: something just happened

Leo is way too unbothered jeez

See now I know logically that it was the anomaly that killed him and not Alan,

But like a part of me also thinks it might be funny if it just actually was Alan

It's not. But still

Bro.

Spoilers ahead for tdbk EP 10 bc I can't fucking shut up about this

First of all, CREEP!!! WHY IS HE LIKE THIS 😭

Am I interrupting something???? I feel like I'm intruding ill just take my leave now-

Oh I'm absolutely interrupting my bad-

This is like. I don't know how I feel about this but mostly I think this is a bad idea. And a very shocking scene but other than that-

Probably slap your hand away. That's what I'd do. Also I'm judging by Ed's just general vibe that being "freed from all manner of curses, and from the very concept of death itself" wouldn't be great actually. Like look how fucking fragile he is. That would suck.

So; the current mysteries in TKDB (up to what I've read, AKA chapter 9,) are:

The culprit of (and generally what is) The One-Eyed Sleeping Beauty Murder

The Traitor

The Mermaid

How Dante is alive

Haku's Stigma

Sho's deal with Hyde (?)

Romeo's deal with Hyde (?)

Taiga's... Deal with Hyde..?

Hyde in general really

LITERALLY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING REGARDING THE CLASH

What we've figured out:

Alan killed Dante.

Clementia used to cure curses?

Just watched a team-building tutorial for Tokyo Debunker. Pls help.

Turns out, before watching that, I made possibly the worst choices for which character cards to level.

... I chose debuffers. That need to die. To debuff. I'm gonna jump- IM AT LEAST 200 LIMIT BREAK FRUITS IN THE HOLE AND I DONT EVEN *KNOW* HOW MUCH EXP FRUITS, IM GONNA JUMP

TKDB episode 9 spoileries

That ghost boy was so painful for him to be around that he started literally fucking crying

LETS GO BACK ACTUALLY. THIS IS NOT WORTH THE RISK OF JIRO CRUMBLING LIKE A WAFER.

MC.

N o .

Grab his wrist and DRAG HIM back to the fucking group I am 100% that more will go wrong if u keep going, and NEXT TIME, YOU WONT HAVE ZENJI WITH U TO TAKE THE DANGER GHOSTS AWAY.
