[Image ID: A Mairimashita! Iruma-kun comic based on incorrect quotes. Opera in the first image says "I scare people sometimes because I walk very softly and they don't hear me enter rooms. So when they turn around, I'm just kind of there. " with a sigh. In the second image, it's a bottom up shot with Kalego squatting on top of a cupboard, scared shitless while holding onto a spray bottle and pointing it at Opera in an attempt to defend himself. "How did you get into my house!? " he asks. A bit of the back of Opera's head is shown in the bottom right corner of the image, and their ear wiggles while they reply "Exactly. " in delight. End ID]

Yeah.

I had a vision

Any suggestions are welcomed!

ok, since I have decided to start posting iruma commentary content, I wanted to let y'all know that you can ask me questions about a certain topic and my thoughts on it! a character break down, theories, headcannons, and the silly thoughts i have about the story

I plan to make a break down on purson soon and kalego's struggle (which is SO sad to me as a lover of kalego, seeing him hurt physically hurts me) but if you have other ideas let me know

I also like other franchises obviously so if you ever see me post/repost about a different franchise feel free ask my thoughts on that too!

And finally, i got an ipad literally just yesterday for christmas so i plan to make iruma fanart to practice so ill probably post that here too :). so get forward to seeing me redraw panels, recolors, and original work as i figure out procreate

Okay, but let's talk about Balam's hair for a hot second

(Yes, it may have become one of my fixations) You know, the guy not only cut it radically - and we know it's because of Iruma - he also let it grow back, and now he grooms it much better than before. Why? While my wishful thinking headcanon is that Kalego offered to brush it after they declared their feelings for each other (they are definitely introduced as best friends, but c'mon, look at them here)

...I also recognize this is not canon, so it can't be the actual reason. So I was wondering: why this difference? IMO it signifies personal growth, but what caused it, if Iruma led to the haircut? And then it hit me. Meeting Iruma, again - but in a deeper way than I thought at first. According to Balam's own words, he decided to cut his hair to appear more approachable. But why not brush it and style it as he's doing now? Everything we know about Balam's past points to him being treated like a weirdo and marginalized, not only because he likes picture books, he was also hyperfixated with the existence of humans.

This went on all his life, from bullies at school to his own students. He was likely wounded, full of self doubt and possibly shame, so he withdrew into himself, and his hair was messy because why bother if people avoid you anyway. So imagine finally having tangible proof that you were right all along. That's life changing, not only because of the discovery itself - it can make you reevaluate your whole story, and yourself. A radical cut was a logical thing to do, to break with the past. But why letting the hair grow back then? I speculate that Balam is most comfortable with long hair after all, and he feels more like himself this way (I mean, he had medium-to-long hair in all flashbacks). I like to think that his personal grooming is a metaphor for his newly found self confidence and self love: he can be himself to the fullest, he likes the demon he is, and he's not afraid of showing it to everyone else now, by making his hair prettier. He was right all along, and everybody else can shut it.

Such a small detail in the grand scheme of things, yet enormous for the single character. I love this manga so much ♡

watched a video about color and tried to do something with it

Just the love trio out on a date 💕
