Btw, for those aware that the Shapeshifter claimed to be seemingly Sensei's "little sunflower":

"Sunflower" not only translates to "Himawari" in Japanese, but from Sensei's perspective... it probably translates to:

In other words: Pussy/Vagina.
Hilarious. Sounds like something new Maya would say. Also, hot. Need Himawari sex NOW.

Let's fall even deeper into the wishing well until we can learn to make sense of this how to smile then. Praise be!

So this is why Futaba hasn't had too much of a storyline lately. She's too busy secretly being god.

Considering Futaba's link to the Upside Down stuff, being nice, and being Concerned, I'd think Spring/Pareidolia's chapter will have her involved quite a bit.

The next update should have some events for her, so we'll see.

New plot twist just dropped: Maki is in an illegal street racing gang and is the secret drift queen of Kumon-mi. She's got a fake decoy license plate over her real license plate. And everyone keeps telling her to drive faster... almost like they are used to her going at 100mph:unsure::unsure::unsure:

So, Ayane probably knew his name from the start, right?

Because Sekai always calls him Aki-kun.
I don't think in a language sense the name Aki can be traced back to Akira in reverse, as Aki itself can function as a completely different given name. Ayane more or less was simply brainstorming ideas, otherwise we might have to force assign meaning to the fact that Ayane brought up the name Ai, a name that coincidentally belongs to one of the upside down house residents.

Still, I agree that Ayane should be one of those girls that naturally knows his name because of her background and portrayed personalities. Alas, there are also girls who I think they should've known his name due to common sense but apparently don't know because reasons (take Imani for example). So I guess the name matter for me is on a "I'll believe it when I see it" kinda basis.

This somehow makes me laugh quite hard, I don't know why :LOL:

I have to look up what this LA plate is about and apparently it turns out to be a reference to some Counter Strike stuff; that's a proper gaming trivia I didn't know I'd learn from this game (or maybe it has a deeper origin that's probably less interesting lol)

That's plausible, but it's a very distant jump to associate brainstorming Ai with another random character called Ai (that Ayane doesn't seem to know about), and literally naming the son of a person called Akira, as Aki (which is also what Sekai calls him all the time).

What she's doing there would be taking his name and applying it to his son, which she just did with Ami too, by borrowing her name to give to her daughter. Also, there's this sense of "I just like people that start with the letter a, like Ayane and Akira" - there's no evidence to prove this, but it would also make sense if she said that and he just blocked it out.

Again, this doesn't really mean anything and I think was just there in order to prepare us for the eventual reveal, but I would veer into the interpretation of her knowing and it being relevant to both suggestions.

So you're saying Maki's theme should be Gas Gas Gas by Manuel. Actually makes sense.

So, has Selebus ever commented on a love for spider girls ever? I'm trying to decide if the early game associations between spiders and sexuality are intentional, there's something weird and psychosexual going on that's maybe slightly subconcious, or I'm reading into things too far and it's just as simple as ""gross" animal + sex = ick"
But my sample size is that one happy event (you know the one), the first futaba H scene, and Sana decorating her room with spiders.
There's also Kaori. There might be something there with the weird Sekai stuff going on with her, but also if it's more of a psychological thing Sel really likes Kaori and her tattoo is literally on her cleavage.

I'm also beginning to wonder if arthropods have significance in general. Butterfly imagery is common in really prominent ways (hairpins, memories), Imani seeming to be a bit of a bug nerd. Also again the way they're used for grossout moments in happy scenes. There's also a recurring fly motif going on in a couple early New Hope Cathedral events, right?

There's also a vast association with eggs, so maybe it's about things that come from eggs? Butterflies could double as beautiful things that emerge once they shed their skin (which is what Akira is told to do), and the rest are maybe the example of bad things that come from that? Sekai's tongue feels like a slug, and she laid disgusting things inside of him. On the first happy event, Akira crawls out of Am I Okay's vagina, and so do the spiders.

The animal with Nodoka and Makoto seem to be a bird though, so maybe there's no deeper meaning to spiders themselves outside of him thinking it was fitting for that specific scenario, feeling or god.

What's not to love about super sexy spiders? All those long thin legs, gorgeous cephalothoraces, and those big thicc abdomens... so many eyes, all trained on you and those pedipalps twitching in anticipation of caressing you as they sexily sink their sensual fangs into your supple flesh...
