i have my own thoughts on the legitimacy of them literally shaping the world but im struggling to put it into words. i am aware of csm's whole ability. i still believe it isn't necessarily literal in the way most are dooming about but its late and i cant properly formulate my thoughts atm

while true, i think this is another issue of my poor wording. the success of this endeavor of his is in the air, but i moreso meant that this is what he's aiming for. or, at least, that's the sort of idea that his words gave me. i was moreso referring to intention rather than outcome

No need to apologize at all! I don't mind reading long thoughts. Would be hypocritical considering I did the same// but also I apologize for taking a while to formulate my own thoughts. I defo understand your perspective 🙇🏽‍♀️ its one... similar to mine, I think? Not brick by brick but, yknow 🦄

A whole bunch of chatter, I apologize. Bsky word limit makes me more scatterbrained that I already am. Here is oomf's words which put my thoughts into way better words (I got permission to share her thoughts 🙇🏽‍♀️trust)

^^ With Asa's oppressor being Yoru, since Yoru has been consistently been a thron in Asa's side, forcing her into things and even assaulting someone (and by extension, Asa) using Asa's very own body

Which I've also seen people touch on, but I really don't think it's as literal as people think it to be. It's less a literal world shaped by him, and moreso him breaking free from everything that's been oppressing him — oppressing the both of them, now that Denji brought Asa into the convo.

He recognizes struggles by trying to help via either giving her ""advice"" (telling her to ignore it isn't because he doesn't care. It's because that's what he does for his own issues) or by trying to get rid of her issues all together (killing Yoru so she could live in "his world")

It's not that Denji doesn't care and passes her pain off in lieu of his own self interests. But the same way he doesn't allow himself to wallow and feel bad, he's trying to do the same for her.

Okay wait before that actually. I did want to say that it feels bad faith because you're implying that Denji doesn't care and chooses to ignore Asa's pain when it doesn't really come off like that.

I was recently talking with a friend of mine about this take. And quite frankly I'm not the best at words. But while at sort of get what you're going for here, the conclusion feels made in slightly bad faith. Struggling to word why I feel like this so I'm going to send my friend's words in for me

This is true. I really enjoy p2, actually (esp because of denji but 🤫) but it feels so insanely chaotic and balls-of-the-walls rn, for lack of better term. Maybe in hindsight it'll piece together nicely but right now I'm in it for story tweaking purposes

Unless ☝🏽 any sort of "part 3" isn't actually a third part but is instead Chainsaw Man's Beast Complex. Not necessarily a third part, but a series of chapter-length stories of different people in the csm universe. I think that'd be fun

Not weird at all. I feel like having a third part would be just like a TV show that only really needed 2 seasons going on to churn out 5 of them. Chainsaw Man was fine with just part 1. Chainsaw Man should end with part 2. There shouldn't be a part 3

Not even any of that he's literally just a whiny little bitch

Oh I am DREADING this so bad actually

Or something. Idk I'm not that smart and I really just cope by going "how can I insert my and my friend's ocs into this 🤔" so like umm 🤫

Other people's perspectives are worthwhile, because lots of opinions can help widen your own understanding. But when it starts to get overly negative and gloomy (gloom-posting, even), it's also good to take a step away, lest they start to weigh on your mind
